‘IT FELT LIKE GOING HOME’ LINDY BLANCHARD GREETS VOTERS WHILE ON CAMPAIGN TRAIL By WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Reporter
R
epublican gubernatorial candidate Lindy Blanchard described her tour of Alexander City and Tallapoosa County as returning “home” during an election campaign visit on Tuesday. “It felt like going home because I saw a lot of people I knew. I like to say that I have had a normal Alabama upbringing and lived here my whole life,” Blanchard said. The Wetumpka native met with community leaders, business owners and residents ahead of the May 24 primary run-off elections, which are a little over two weeks away. Blanchard began her tour by attending a meeting with the Lake Martin Dadeville Area Chamber of Commerce as well as with local store owners. Blanchard is currently polling in second place behind incumbent Governor Kay Ivey, and has outspent all other gubernatorial candidates in terms of campaign spending. Blachard’s visit to Tallapoosa County was part of her campaign’s appeal to rural voters, especially given her hometown of Wetumpka. She describes herself as a “typical Alabamaian”, with rural life being at the center of her identity and upbringing.
Blanchard’s Alabama roots run deep and according to Blanchard, her ancestors were among the first settlers in the region, long before Alabama became a state. As a child, Blanchard recalled living with her family in a trailer near Highway 231 and spending her time swimming in the Coosa River. On weekends, her family would gather after church on Sundays to eat, play dominoes and badminton near Lake Martin. Lake Martin has always held a special place in Blanchard’s heart as she frequently traveled to the area with her grandmother. “My fondest memory was leaving church on Sundays, and my granny taking us to the Dairy Queen in Wetumpka and then zipping up to Lake Martin,” Blanchard said. Now as a candidate, Blanchard is promising to invest in rural communities with additional job opportunities and economic development, including in Alexander City, which has attempted to recruit companies and industries since the closure of the city’s largest employer, the Russell Corporation, over a decade ago. “As governor, I will focus on what’s already working well in the ports and the big cities like in Huntsville, but I can also focus on rural Alabama, See BLANCHARD, Page A12 WILLIAM MARLOW | THE RECORD

Be prepared to vote May 24 By BETH CHAPMAN
V
oting is a sacred freedom, and one we should all hold dear. Election Day is the one day you get to freely state your opinion, and no one gets to deny it. With the simple stroke of a pen, you can have your say without anyone questioning it. Many men and women have died for our right to vote and the freedoms that we take for granted at the polling place. Many people in other countries are not allowed the same freedoms we are afforded on Election Day. So please remember to go vote on Tuesday, May 24. Democracy is a gift, but remember it isn’t free. Someone, somewhere had to pay for it, many with their own lives. So, take it seriously. Research the candidates. It’s easy to get confused. If you watch television long enough, all the candidates believe the same things: they all love God, believe in lower taxes, and Lord knows they all shoot guns on a regular basis– at least long enough to shoot a commercial at election time anyway. Please be prepared to vote in the Primary Election on Tuesday, May 24 from 7:00 A.M.7:00 P.M. at your local polling place. If you need to know where your local polling place is, visit www.alabamavotes.gov. Click on the “voters” section. Then go to “check your registration status . . .” Type in your name, date of birth, and you will be provided with your polling place information. This year you will be able to vote on Governor, Attorney General, U.S. Senate, two members of the Supreme Court, two members of the Public Service Commission, your state senator a member of the House of Representatives and others. There will be local races as well, but they will vary from county to county. There will be one statewide amendment on the ballot pertaining to the funding of state parks. I encourage you to go to the candidates’ websites, research their backgrounds, see what their issues are, and ask others you know in the political arena their thoughts of them. You may be tired of all the commercials and all the flowers of democracy (roadside political signs) everywhere including being nailed up on trees but remember it’s a part of a bigger picture – the democratic process. So do your homework and prepare to do your civic, patriotic duty – remember to go vote on Tuesday, May 24.

Record
Governor’s race down to the wire
W
e are down to the last few days in the 2022 Governor’s Race. For the first time in my memory, the governor’s race has been overshadowed by another race. The race to fill the void left by retiring senior U.S. Senator Richard Shelby has eclipsed the interest in the governor’s race. It is an obvious fact that our open senate seat is more competitive and interesting than a race with a popular incumbent governor running for reelection. Kay Ivey has been in control of this race since the get go. National polls have ranked her as one of the most popular incumbent governors in the nation. Alabama’s polls have consistently shown her with a commanding lead. Most polls have her winning without a runoff. She has been bombarded by ads from two wellfinanced opponents. Lindy Blanchard has spent over $8 million of her own money and Tim James has spent over $4 million. They both have primarily run against transgenders. A recent Cygnal poll indicates that either Blanchard or James could force Ivey into a runoff. Kay Ivey will be reelected governor. The question is whether she beats her eight opponents without a runoff. My guess is that she wins Tuesday without a runoff. However, I disagree with some Ivey naysayers and her opponents that forecast that if she does not win straight out with 50 percent plus one vote, she is in trouble in a June 21 runoff. My thoughts are that if she dips 45 percent to 48 percent that still does not make it a close race in the runoff. She would be at 48 percent and whoever finishes second will
STEVE FLOWERS Columnist be at about 15 percent. She can pick up the phone as an incumbent governor and raise $2 million dollars for the six-week runoff in two days. Polling depicts a picture of the entire Republican electorate in the state. The polling is only skewed if there is a lighter than expected turnout. The turnout Tuesday is going to be large due to the U.S. Senate race and the avalanche of Potomac money being spent in our state. Therefore, my belief is that Ivey’s polling numbers will hold. She will probably win outright Tuesday, if not she will win on June 21. Most of us thought Kay would not run for reelection when she won overwhelmingly in 2018. However, when she announced she was going to run for another four-year term, early polls revealed that she would be tough to beat. Those of us who follow and pontificate on Alabama politics felt like that the only way she could lose is if she beat herself with a faux paus or misstep. She has avoided any potholes in this six-month campaign for reelection. Matter of fact, she has run a flawless and almost perfect campaign. Her media firm has done an excellent job with her television ads. The one with her saying, “Bless Joe Biden’s heart” and “No Way Jose” captured the essence of why she is popular. Her best attribute politically is that she comes across as your grandmama. How in the world can someone run negative ads
about people’s grandmama? She has also been fortunate to have fielded a much weaker field of opponents than she had in 2018, which by the way, she beat without a runoff. Kay Ivey has done a good job as Governor and I think people, deep down, know this. They trust her as being honest and straight forward. She is running for the right reason. She has some more things she wants to accomplish for her state. You cannot say that Kay Ivey does not love Alabama. The only serious opponents that Kay has endured are Tim James and Lindy Blanchard. They have both run valiant campaigns and given it the old college try. It will be a close race to see who finishes second. However, finishing second only counts in horseshoes and it will be a distant second at best. This will be Tim James third try for the brass ring his father garnered twice. Three strikes and you are probably out. Lindy Blanchard has really given this race her all. She has spent a lot of her personal money, more than anyone expected. She has also crisscrossed the state campaigning hard every day. If you meet her, you cannot help but like her. However, the hill you must climb to defeat an incumbent governor is steep. We will see next Tuesday. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist. His weekly column appears in over 60 Alabama newspapers.

Why “Replacement Theory” needs to be replaced
R
eplacement theory has allegedly been used as a motive for killing Hispanics at a Wal-Mart in El Paso, Jewish worshippers at a Pittsburgh Synagogue, or African-American shoppers, store workers and a police officer at a Buffalo supermarket, along with many other similar acts of terrorism. Critics have battled with supporters over how evil the theory is. What we’ve missed is exactly how replacement theory targets capitalism, our republic, our churches, and even most whites in America as well as non-whites. No wonder Nazis love it. Replacement Theorists contend that the percentage of non-whites is growing in America, and in Europe, and massive deportations of immigrants won’t change that. So? How’s that so bad? Replacement theorists then move into conjecture. The Jewish publication The Forward reported that Tucker Carlson claimed he has “less political power because they’re importing a brandnew electorate” and that the “power that I have as an American guaranteed at birth is one man, one vote and they’re diluting it.” Unless Carlson’s family was on the Mayflower or Independence Hall in Philadelphia in September of 1787, those who have
JOHN TURES Columnist come from other countries have been “diluting” the Carlson vote for decades. Unless you’re the “right sort” of white, you’re diluting Tucker’s vote. And our Constitution, which has been amended several times to “dilute” Tucker’s vote, must also an enemy of Replacement Theory. Maybe it is a racial question. A “brand-new electorate” could be a code word for “non-white.” But this repulsive racist rant is actually countered by even conservatives who are arguing that Republicans are making in-roads with African-Americans and Hispanics. One of my students who is conservative had her paper make the finals of a statewide conference, showing evidence that non-whites moved closer to Trump between the 2016 and 2020 elections. I’ve written about plenty of evidence showing that non-whites are on average as socially conservative, if not more socially conservative, than the white population. Is having this country populated with more conservative Christians so bad? Or is it really about the
skin-color thing? At the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, marchers allegedly chanted “Jews will not replace us.” Why would Jewish people want to “dilute” their numbers in America? Replacement theorists aren’t done, though it’s ironic that the theory was imported from abroad. The alleged Buffalo killer allegedly posted a manifesto that allegedly claimed “Millions of people pouring across our borders, legally. Invited by the state and corporate entities to replace the [w] hite people who have failed to reproduce, failed to create the cheap labor, failed to create new consumers and tax base that the corporations and states need to have to thrive.” So now replacement theory opposes free markets and capitalism? Replacement theory is about replacing our Constitution, our capitalism, our churches, nonwhites, and most whites in America. But this French theory is the only thing in need of replacement. John A.

ALL ABOUT NURSES A Nurse is a person who has been trained to care for the sick. Some Nurses work in hospitals, some work at Doctors’ offices, while others are trained to do specific things like help a Doctor during surgery. A Nurse Anesthetist has been trained to administer anesthesia to patients. Other Nurse specialties include caring for babies, Certified Nurse-Midwives who deliver babies, and Nurse Practitioners (Nurses trained to diagnose illnesses and prescribe treatments much like a Doctor). Nurses follow the Doctor’s orders, give patients medicine, and try to KIDZ make them as DR comfortable as possible while they are sick or in the hospital. Florence Nightingale, perhaps the most famous Nurse who ever lived, was a British Nurse who introduced her ways of nursing to the World during the Crimean War. Sanitary conditions, healthy foods, properly administered medicines and proper ventilation, among other things, greatly improved the prognosis of hundreds of patients. Since these innovations were introduced, the practice of nursing has developed into the modern profession we know today. Nurses, both men and women, are in high demand.

If I had to make a guess as to what everyone had to eat after Sunday’s worship service, I believe my assumption would be correct, small bites of “roast preacher” or even large portions were swallowed! When my children and grandchildren were small, I would always ask what they learned in Sunday School and the answer was always, “we learned about Jesus.” As my husband and I chow down on our “roast preacher,” I will ask him what he thought about the morning sermon, often times, his answer will be, “I thought it was about 30 minutes long!” Some sermons touch our heart more than others. I remember an illustration from about 45 years ago. Our pastor stood before the children and loosened his tie and showed the children how it was tied and the effort it took to for a man to tie a perfect knot in a necktie. Then he reached in his pocket and pulled out a clip-on tie that was already tied in a beautiful knot. He explained, this is a hypocrite tie, it appears one way but is actually something else. Our message last Sunday morning was, “don’t play the hypocrite!” Have we ever had an appearance of being one way but turns out to be something different? “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by Jackie Wilbourn, member of Bethel Baptist them. Otherwise, you have no reward from Church, Chaplain with Alabama Baptist your Father in Heaven.” (Matthew 6:1). This Disaster Relief Team.

chapter deals with three aspects of hypocrisy. Did you know you can give, pray and fast, but it can all be sin if done for your glory and not for God’s? The heart matters to God! It is important as Christians that we are a giving people because we have been given so much in Christ. Do we desire to be people pleasers or God pleasers? Is our desire praise before man or to give glory to God? Do we do good works for an audience of One or an audience of many? We need to have the right motive. An earthly goal will receive an earthly reward! Hypocrites will do righteous deeds in public places for others to see. They act “churchy” on Sunday but like the devil the rest of the week, they are pretenders, they are hypocrites! God can see what is in your heart, where man cannot. Often, we seek to perform instead of worship. Years ago, the church was the one who gave and ministered to the people, not the government. We are losing our witness to the world because many churches are staying within the confines of the buildings and not being a giving church that shows God’s love. Have we, as the church, lost our goal? By the way, sometimes “roast preacher” is good for the soul when digested properly!

The
Record
Auburn heads to Clemson for regionals The NCAA Softball Tournament will get underway this Friday at 16 different locations across the continental US. Each Regional consists of four teams with only one winner emerging from each site in a double elimination format. The SEC has routinely been one of, if not the, best conferences in the country for the past decade and this year is no different. 12 of the 13 Southeastern Conference teams made the field and five campuses will serve as hosts. Auburn will be traveling to South Carolina to participate in the Clemson Regional. The Clemson Tigers are the top seed and will play the No. 4 seed University of North Carolina-Wilmington. No. 2 seed Auburn will battle No. 3 seed LouisianaLafayette to begin the tournament. Mickey Dean has led Auburn to the postseason in every year of his tenure on the Plains. This is his 5th season including 2020 which was suspended after only 27 games. However, they have yet to make it past the first round. Auburn finished the regular season with an overall record of 39-15 and a conference record of 11-13. It was a significant improvement from 2021 when the Tigers finished 27-24 and 7-17. It was due to a lot of hard work and a significant youth movement among the team. Sophomore Maddie Penta led Auburn and the entire conference with a record of 23-9 and an ERA of 1.77. Fellow sophomore Shelby Lowe has dealt with soreness in her arm for most of the season preventing a duplication of her outstanding freshman year. She certainly hasn’t pitched bad, but hasn’t been as effective as in 2021. Junior KK Dismukes has picked up the slack and taken some of the pressure

Horseshoe Bend running back and linebacker Rylan Sharpe is one of the Generals’ top returners heading into the 2022 fall football season.
ANDY GRAHAM Columnist off Penta. The Tigers remade themselves at the plate during the off-season adding strength and discipline. The difference was astonishing. As a team, Auburn hit 22 home runs and had a team average of .242 in 2021. This year, they hit 84 home runs and batted .303 as a team. The primary reason is an influx of talented freshman and sophomores. Auburn’s first opponent, the Ragin’ Cajuns, are a lot like the Tigers being led by a host of freshmen and sophomores to a record of 45-11. Interestingly, 6 of the 11 losses were to Alabama, LSU and Texas. Freshman Sam Landry (20-3; 2.15) and junior Meghan Schorman (15-4; 1.73) will handle the duties in the circle. Louisiana hit 78 home runs in 2022 and had an impressive .358 team batting average. They may very well be the most dangerous team of the four. Clemson went 39-15 overall and 14-10 in the ACC. The Tigers are led by two sophomore pitchers, Valerie Cagle (15-8; 2.05) and Millie Thompson (133; 1.69). They hit .274 as a team with 64 home runs. UNCW finished the regular season with a record of 32-13. The Seahawks are led by two freshman pitchers Emily Winstead (13-8; 1.66) and Kara Hommock (12-3; 2.05). They hit .271 as a team with only 18 home runs. Auburn freshman Bri Ellis hit 18 home runs all by herself. I believe this is actually a pretty good draw for Auburn. The Tigers are battle tested and have a great opportunity to advance to a Super Regional for the first time under Mickey Dean.
PHILLIPS PLEASED WITH HORSESHOE BEND
SPRING FOOTBALL RESULTS By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor
H
orseshoe Bend head football coach Jeremy Phillips got to see his new squad in action this past Friday, and he likes the potential he saw from his Generals. Horseshoe Bend played its two halves of spring football, one half against Randolph County and one half against Wadley, on Friday afternoon. The Generals lost both games, 13-6 to Randolph County and 21-0 to Wadley, but Phillips wasn’t going in necessarily looking for wins. A lot of the new players on Horseshoe Bend have either never played football or never played at the varsity level, so Phillips looked to get them experience. He was also able to see his team install some new schemes and plays “We weren’t really worried about the scores of the game,” Phillips said. “We were focused on us and working on our fundamentals. We wanted to run our plays correctly and get lined up right. We wanted them to see what a varsity game would be like. I thought they played hard and did what we asked them to do. Overall, I thought our spring went well.” Horseshoe Bend has a solid mixture of returnees coming back as well as first-year players who
impressed in the spring game. Some of the returners who showed out were senior Jacob Turner, senior Rylan Sharpe, senior Taylor Humphrey, senior Luke Jones and senior Sawyer Smith. Phillips said all of them will be key leaders on the team and their experience will be instrumental to the team’s success this season. To help complement the returners are some key newcomers, including James Smith as the new quarterback for the Generals. There’s also Charlie Shivers, who is playing defensive back after being listed as receiver on last year’s roster. Gaines Thomas came out for the team for his firsttime ever playing football and he impressed. Braxton Wilson and Josh Hunt will bring in two different styles of running back, and Braden Phillips did a good job of filling in and replacing the role that Gavin Brazzell left on defense at safety. “We found some answers that we didn’t necessarily know were going to be there, and that’s always a good thing to happen in the spring,” Phillips said. Replacing Brazzell will be one of the toughest things to do for Horseshoe Bend this summer and fall. The 2022 graduate was a fouryear starter and was the team’s most consistent running back and a dynamic playmaker coming down
from the safety position. He earned countless awards during his time as a General and was a first-team All-Outlook selection last year. He wasn’t the only big name to graduate from the program, however, as Phillips is looking to replace guys like Dewey Freeman and Holt Tidwell as well. Phillips thinks his team did a good job of starting that replacement cycle this spring. “There are a few of those seniors from last year who left some voids for us when they graduated,” Phillips said. “We try to have a mentality of the next guy up. Those guys who were behind them, it’s now their time to step up. They waited their turn and learned their position and got better every year. Now it’s their turn to carry this team and leave their statement.” Now with spring football over, Phillips is going to give his team some time off before they start the work over the summer. Most of his team plays all three big sports - football, basketball and baseball - so he wants them to be able to relax a little before they hit the summer hard. Horseshoe Bend starts the 2022 football season on August 19 against Wadley, and he said his team has a hunger about them now heading into the fall.

campgrounds were built, camping was a pop-up camper, a tent, or a really small motorhome. That is what they were built to accommodate. “That is not where we are today when you look at what Tiffin is building in Red Bay, luxury motorhomes with three air conditioners. People are living in their RVs, traveling around the country. We are working as a parks system to get into the 21st century, as well as adding some cabins and other amenities to help make our State Parks first-class and very sustainable.” Commissioner Blankenship pointed out that during the past couple of years, the number of park visitors increased from an average of 5 million to approximately 6.2 million visitors. “Outdoor activity was recognized as an ‘essential activity’ during COVID-19, and our State Parks remained open and operational during the pandemic,” he said. “I know many of you enjoy the State Parks on a regular basis. I hope the rest of you will give them a try soon. “I describe our State Parks as gems. That is truly how I feel about them, although some of those gems need a little polishing to bring out their full sparkle and majesty.” While Lein said upgrades to the electrical systems in the campgrounds is a big component of the planned renovations, other items need attention as well.
“Some of the work involves issues not visible to the public. Some parks require the installation of new water lines, while others require sewer improvements,” Lein said. “A lot of the funding gets spent on the pad itself. We will be redoing the pads that the RVs are actually sitting on, getting them level, creating new pad borders as well as paving the campground roads that access those sites.” “Another big component of the campground renovations are the bathhouses. We’ve got some old bathhouses at some of these sites. Demolishing those bathhouses and constructing modern ones with A/C and heating systems is a big element of a campground renovation.” Lein further noted that modern campers want to maintain connectivity, even as they enjoy getting away from the hustle and bustle. “Wi-Fi is another component,” he said. “While we’re doing this, we want to add that modern convenience to make the new product even more attractive to the people who are looking for great campgrounds.” New cabins at several parks would be an additional attraction. “Some of the parks don’t even have cabins, or very few, Wind Creek for example,” Lein said. “They’ve got a couple of very small cabins. Having something new and modern, like the Cottages at Gulf State Park, at Wind Creek would be a huge improvement.”
Lein said the increased attendance at many Alabama State Parks has allowed the system to do some needed maintenance and add a few new features, but the State Parks Amendment would be a huge step forward in meeting the goal of providing a State Parks System for the future. “We have made progress, but with limited funding we have not been able to update our parks as quickly as we would like,” he said. “To renovate a campground, like Joe Wheeler, requires saving money for two or three years to build enough money to undertake a project like that. The passage of the State Parks Amendment gives us the means to quickly make the improvements and renovations and provisions for new things so that the public more quickly gets to be out there enjoying their State Parks. “The State Parks System understands that the better our amenities, the better the experience we can offer. We don’t want just good State Parks. We want an exceptional parks system for the people of Alabama.” Commissioner Blankenship added, “Governor Ivey has said this is very important for our State Parks and our state moving forward. With your support for the bond on May 24, we can make Alabama State Parks truly spectacular and provide for the outdoor recreational needs for our state for decades to come.”

Free fishing day is June 11 By DAVID RANIER Special to The Record On Saturday, June 11, 2022, Alabamians and out-of-state visitors alike will have the opportunity to fish for free in most public waters including both freshwater and saltwater. Free Fishing Day allows residents and non-residents to enjoy the outstanding fishing Alabama has to offer without purchasing a fishing license. The event is part of National Fishing and Boating Week, which runs June 4-12. “This is the perfect opportunity for nonanglers to test the fishing waters and to remind former anglers of all the fun they’ve been missing,” said Chris Blankenship, Commissioner of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR). “It’s also a day for kids to learn how fun and exciting fishing is, while giving families a chance to do something together outdoors.” To celebrate Free Fishing Day, ADCNR and Academy Sports + Outdoors are hosting a Go Fish, Alabama! event on June 11 from 8 a.m. to noon at Gateway Park, 3800 Davenport Dr., in Montgomery. The event is free to attend. All the necessary bait, equipment and tackle will be provided. Learn more at https://www. outdooralabama.com/GoFishAlabama. Free Fishing Day also takes place during Alabama’s red snapper season. While fishing license requirements are waived for Free Fishing Day, those fishing for red snapper will still need a $10 Gulf Reef Fish Endorsement and a free saltwater angler registration. For more information, visit www.outdooralabama. com/fishing/saltwater-recreational-size-creellimits. In addition, State Public Fishing Lakes still require a fishing permit on Free Fishing Day, and fishing in a private pond requires the pond owner’s permission. Some piers may also require fees and permits. Anglers looking for a new public fishing spot are encouraged to explore the fishing section of www.outdooralabama.com. The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of Alabama’s natural resources through four divisions: Marine Resources, State Parks, State Lands, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries.

This grant provides grantees with
the resources required for implementation of the national preparedness system and working toward the national preparedness goal of a secure and resilient nation. Eligible applicants include units of local governments who can demonstrate a nexus to achieving target capabilities related to preventing, preparing for, protecting against and responding to acts of terrorism. The NSGP provides funding support for target hardening and other physical security enhancements and activities to nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of a terrorist attack. The intent is to integrate
nonprofit preparedness activities with broader state and local preparedness efforts. It is also designed to promote coordination and collaboration in emergency preparedness activities among public and private community representatives, as well as state and local government agencies. Eligible nonprofit organizations are those organizations that are described under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC) and exempt from tax under section 501(a) of such code while simultaneously being able to demonstrate, through the application, that the organization is at high risk of a terrorist attack.
Dadeville High School ranked among best schools By WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Reporter Dadeville High School has been named among the best high schools in the state according to a national survey released last week. The report was conducted by U.S. News, which annually ranks the top schools in individual states and across the country. The publication reviewed nearly 24,000 public high schools in all 50 states, selecting 359 Alabama schools among their rankings. Dadeville High School scored 99th in the publication’s state assess-
ment. Tallapoosa County Schools system was assessed along with 138 other school districts, and ranked on six factors including their performance on state assessments and how well they prepare students for college. Superintendent Ray Porter said the achievement is a credit to the school’s dedicated staff and that he and the board of education were proud of the students and faculty for their efforts. “That’s a huge honor. I think they were in the Top 100 last year as well. So Dadeville High School is doing a lot of
things right over there and we should be very proud of them,” Porter said. Deputy Superintendent Casey Davis added that this was especially noteworthy as all Tallapoosa County Schools have now been recognized by the publication at some point over the last several years. “I think it also should be mentioned that all of our high schools have been recognized at some point in time since 2008. We had Reeltown a couple of years ago, and Horseshoe Bend before that. So all of our schools have been recognized,” Davis said.

Alex City plans for 10th year of Sun Festival By WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Reporter Alexander City will celebrate the approach of summer with the Sun Festival beginning June 2, which is expected to span nine days and encompass over 30 events. The 10th annual celebration is bringing new activities, as well as the return of many favorite events, culminating with the Jazz Fest concert series at Strand Park and Lake Martin Amphitheater. Kim Dunn, a member of the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce, is organizing the anniversary celebration and noted that the festival has changed quite a bit since she first helped with its inception over a decade ago. “It’s exciting to hit a milestone like 10 years. I was part of the very first committee that created the festival and it has took off since, with more people jumping on board,” Dunn said. This year’s Sun Festival calendar includes 30 events over nine days, beginning with a brand new cocktail exhibition in the downtown alley prior to the Strand Session concert in the park. Castelluccio’s head bartender, Crayton Walton, will set up the exhibition in the alley beside the restaurant, where he will demonstrate the assembly of some of the dining venue’s most popular beverages. This free exhibition will start at 5:15 p.m., and cocktails will be available for sale to be enjoyed during the Lake Martin Young Professionals’ Strand Session concert at the top of the Strand Park hill.
Dunn added that there is a diversity of events for all residents to enjoy. “That’s what it is all about. It was really created with the purpose of community development , which is what we do at the Chamber, and to give families in our community something to do,” Dunn said. Another new free event this year, the KidsFest Russell Forest Sampler, will take place from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Monday, June 6, at Lake Martin Innovation Center. Russell Lands naturalist Marianne Hudson will bring a variety of woodland wonders for active investigation and discovery, including live animals. This hands-on sensory learning experience will encourage touching, holding, listening and smelling to renew an interest in the outdoors in our own backyards. Hudson will recommend customized trail experiences through Russell Forest. She suggests bringing a camera to this event. If you are looking for even more to do, try your hand at a summer charcuterie make-and-take-a-board event at The Square Downtown at 6 p.m. where the basics of cheese choices and embellishment details, including the popular salami rose will be discussed. At the end of this hands-on workshop, participants will have made a board to take home. The workshop cost is $65. In addition to these new options on the 2022 Sun Festival calendar, favorites are back, from the medallion hunt to Tykes in Trucks, glow-in-the-dark golf, a $2 showing of a movie celebrating America’s heroes.

Resource Conservation Development Council sponsors training for veterans Staff report TPI Staff The Alabama Association of Resource Conservation Development Council (RCD), recently co-sponsored the Central Alabama Wildland Fire Managers Course that helped veterans gain training to have an opportunity for employment. The $10,000 grant provided by RCD was administered by AHERO, an organization which delivers education and training to veterans and first responders relating to prescribed burning and land management. AHERO was supported by Tall Timbers, a research organization with 60 years of experience studying the benefits to the ecosystems received by prescribed fire use. The veterans attending the workshop training were given instructions on how controlled burns can help to preserve the

The additional benefit of the Central Alabama Wildland Fire Managers Course for the veterans and first responders includes: Alabama certified burn manager certification, and network with United States Forest Service for employment. RCD’s donation helped to cover the costs of lodging and meals as well as the cost for technical assistance for instructors. The total cost of the project was $20,000 and AHERO stated they were thankful that RCD became the major sponsor of AHERO. According to a press release, RCD representatives were “excited to help give Veter-

So, what we tried to do was blend them into just not acceptable, as opposed to a parent having to read, going back and forth between the two,” Davis said. The dress code will also now apply to students in the sixth grade and up, which had previously begun in the third grade. Any apparel that displays obscene words, or references to sexually suggestive remarks, gangs and drug or alcohol use is still prohibted. Porter concluded the discussion by reiterating his earlier point that the updated dress-code policy pertains to education and academics and added that parents would be receiving a letter on the updated policy. “I feel every school should have the same policy, because again I don’t feel good as an educator having a student in ISS for three days because they don’t have a belt,” he said The policy is expected to go into effect during the 2022-2023 academic school year later this year. The entire prohibited dress wear for sixth through 12th grades include: • Sunglasses without a doctor’s prescription for a medical condition. • Clothing article or apparel which displays obscene words, suggestive or immoral behavior. • Pictures, and/or designs; including but not limited to any article that conveys a sexually

Whatley thanked RCD for their sponsorship and encouraged veterans to “take every opportunity available to use the skills they have learned from their military service to transfer into other workforce areas.” Rep. Ed Oliver agreed this was a “worthwhile project” and was “glad to see RCD take the initiative to sponsor this project and appreciated the staff of Camp ASSCA for their time and effort to make it successful.” Stuckey also offered praises for RCD. “Without RCD this project would not have happened,” said Stuckey.

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.

because we all need to rise up together,” Blanchard said. As part of that strategy, Blanchard has outlined several policies relating to education, taxes and Alabama’s economy. Firstly, Blanchard has vowed to repeal both fuel and groceries taxes in the wake of rising food and gasoline costs attributed to inflation as well as the war in Ukraine. Additionally, Blanchard is looking to expand educational and vocational opportunities for young people so they are more prepared for an ever-changing workforce. “I certainly am a firm believer in having the same educational opportunities in rural Alabama that we have in other areas. We need to have the same opportunity for education, and that’ll help Alabama as well. It’ll give people hope, in these rural areas,” she said. “It is also better for the area, you will have less dropouts and less drug addicts.” Blanchard has also touted her experience as the ambassador of Slovenia, former First Lady Melania Trump’s birth

the ordinance, the beautification board is there to recommend and advise, but we were not able to advise,” he said. “Does Mayor Goodman have the authority to make that decision which is a policy decision without consulting legal counsel? Without consulting the beautification board and without consulting the city council?” McGukin alleged the meeting violated a 1981 city ordinance that requires the beautification board to be involved in issues relating to the protection, maintenance, removal and planting of trees on public property. According to the email that McGukin read aloud during the meeting, ALDOT as a result could not continue a permit for the trees, which could result in their removal. McGukin also took some responsibility for the issue admitting that the board has received erroneous information from a ALDOT employee during the initial permit approval process, which the board has since rectified, according to McGukin Regardless, McGukin described the tree removal as disastrous for both the city and beautification board as the committee would
country. Blanchard served in the position from 2019 until 2021. During her tenure with the federal government, Blanhcard worked with USAID overseeing the United States’ humanitarian aid spending before being appointed as a U.S. ambassador of Slovenia. Blanchard attributes her experience in business and nonprofit work as the primary factor in her appointment. As ambassador, Blanchard expanded Alabama’s economy by supplying the state’s defense products from Redstone Arsenal to Slovenia. If elected, Blanchard is also hoping to utilize the experience she gained while overseeing the U.S.’s energy relations with Russia and Germany to expand Alabama’s energy sector, specifically with regards to hydroelectric energy. According to Blanchard, a hydroelectric turbine is being built along Lake Martin, and is expected to be operational by the end of this year. Blanchard concluded her visit in Tallapoosa County by WILLIAM MARLOW | THE RECORD stopping by The Sure Shot, an outdoor game and gun store Gubernatorial candidate Lindy Blanchard chats with voters in The Sure Shot in Alexander City.

then be in violation of their Good Roots grant that Alabama Power awarded them. Consequently, the committee would have to refund $2,000 and would be disqualified from applying for grants of any kind in the future. “This affects the whole town. I believe there were also some people here tonight talking about industry that is coming in and we have a pretty town and [the city] is fixing to wreck it,” he said. The board would also lose its Tree City USA designation. Goodman in response explained that ALDOT has contacted him, specifically project manager Craig Phillips, about the trees. During the meeting, liability concerns were raised which Goodman felt were a higher priority. “I was told that those trees are pretty big and if someone had an accident or got hurt they could sue the city for whatever they wanted, especially if they create a problem for the water or gas lines,” Goodman said. “I run the day-to-day operations so when he put that in front of me saying that the city is going to be responsible if I signed that paper, then that means the city is up for a lawsuit if something like that happens.” Goodman went on to say that he would welcome a joint-agreement with either the city council or beautification board to conduct tree
maintenance, but expressed hesitation in the city shouldering maintenance for all 16 trees. “I made a decision not to put the city in that position. Now, if the council or the beautification board were to tell me that it would sign that contract or sign with me, that’s fine,” he said. “But I’m not going to put myself in a position where we’d be looking at me saying, ‘Well, if you ever sign that contract, the city would be sued right there and then somebody is trying to take over the city.’” Dadeville city attorney Robin Reynolds also chimed in with the point that the beautification board might not always be in existence, resulting in the city possibly overtaking the responsibility for the trees completely at some point. McGukin in response added that he recognizes liability concerns, but wished the city had been more deliberative with the decision and consulted city partners. However, he also noted that a joint-agreement is possible as the trees are currently maintained by the property owners they adjoin. “I just think that it could have been handled in a way where you could have told [ALDOT project manager Craig Phillips] that [Mayor Jimmy Goodman] needed to talk with your attorney, the council and that you would get back with him,” McGukin said. “We can work it out. liability is something we face every day.

That’s why we have [Dadeville city attorney Robin Reynolds] on retainer and pay insurance, but the situation you are describing is an isolated incident that may or may not happen.” Reynolds then proceeded to inquire whether the beautification board had consulted the utility board regarding the location of transmission and service lines around the city before planting the trees. McGukin responded saying that the board had consulted with the city’s utility boards and had been approved for the tree-planting initiative and that the boards had not shared any concerns publicly or expressed any complaints. Reynolds contested that claim, adding that the board department chairs had voiced concerns to the city. McGukin countered the point and noted that the particular planted-trees have short roots, less than 12 inches, a depth far too short to burst any utility lines. Despite concerns, the city council ultimately decided to sign the agreement. Following the resolution, McGukin expressed satisfaction in the city council’s decision. “That was the goal and intent. Our purpose is to help beautify the city and to make it grow and to help people understand that trees are good and improve the appearance [of the city] so that people feel good driving into town,” he said.
