Defiant defendant guilty of sex abuse

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer A Dadeville man was found guilty of sexual abuse of a child under 12 and enticing a child to enter a vehicle or house for immoral purposes.

The child victim identified Joshua Ammons as the person who touched her “private parts” after encouraging her to a bedroom. Ammons now faces between 10 and 99 years in prison.

Ammons behavior on the stand in front of a jury didn’t help his cause. In the absence of the juror over a period of two plus hours Ammons would argue with his attorney and Fifth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Steve Perryman.

Ammon’s hostile behavior would continue as he would accept and fail to go through four different attempts at a plea deal.

Ammons, 30, of Dadeville took to the stand in his own defense and was being confronted by Fifth Judical Circuit District Attorney Jeremy Duerr about his prior conviction of violation of the sex offender registration act.

“I object,” Ammons said from the witness stand. “My attorney is not giving me adequate representation.”

Perryman quickly excused the jury to the jury room and quickly explained to Ammons it was the improper venue to challenge the effectiveness of his counsel.

Ammons was upset prosecutors were bringing up his past — a guilty plea to sexual misconduct after being charged with firstdegree rape and sodomy of a child. It was done in 2013 to try and protect the child from having to testify. Ammons would serve a year in prison and have to register as a sex offender on release.

Ammons would also serve a year in prison for failing to register as a sex offender.

On Monday, deputies had to pick up Ammons for trial when

stand and didn’t object to Duerr’s line of questions. Perryman told Ammons that argument could only be made if he was convicted.

“Were you forced to testify?”

Perryman asked Ammons.

Ammons responded, “No.” Duerr offered to stop the trial if Ammons would plead guilty and accept 18 years in prison.

Ammons contemplated the offer four different times while the jury was excused.

Four times Ammons refused to say what he did. Four times Perryman said he couldn’t accept Ammons plea.

‘SLOW DOWN’ Marine patrol gives advice for safe boating

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

A

s temperatures rise, so does boat traffic on lakes and rivers.

As boating traffic increases, so do the chances of a mishap. Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) Marine Patrol Sr. Trooper Jonathan Walker offered a few tips to make boating safer and more enjoyable for the Memorial Day weekend and summer.

“We are really stressing boater safety and boater courtesy, not just for other boats but property owners by watching your wake,” Walker said. “If you are going to be skiing, tubing, wakeboarding or anything like that, try to stay out of the smaller sloughs and respect the property. Other boats need to stay away from those boats who are towing skiers, tubes and wake boarders.”

Walker said alcohol has a different effect on the human body when consumed outdoors exposed to the sun.

“Three drinks out here on the water is about equivalent to nine drinks,” Walker said. “With the heat, you will feel the alcohol a lot quicker than if you were inside. If you are going to be operating a boat or think you are going to be operating a boat, just stay away from the alcohol.”

While a boat is underway, all persons in the boat must be inside the gunwale.

“If you are riding in a boat, once the vessel is in motion, everyone’s hips should be inside and below the gunwale,” Walker said.

“There is no riding on the gunwale or bow.

There is no riding on the back vessels even though they may have the seats and beds back there.”

Walker said children under the age of eight are required to wear a Coast Guard approved life vest at all times on a boat. Walker said boat operators should be familiar with the

safety equipment that is required to be on board and share it with others.

“Whoever the boat owner or operator is needs to make sure everyone knows where a fire extinguisher is and knows where the Type IV throwable is and especially knows where their life jacket is going to be,” Walker said. “That way in case of an emergency, you are not saying, ‘Where is the life jacket or fire extinguisher?’ Everyone knows where everything is at.”

Kill switches are required to be attached to the boat operator of any vessel under 26-feet.

That way if the operator leaves the area to operate the boat, the boat stops and doesn’t continue on. Walker also suggests new boating operators take a break during the heavy traffic of Memorial Day weekend.

“If you are new at boating and operating a boat, going out on a holiday weekend is not the best of times to learn how to drive a boat,” Walker said. “Probably best to wait until after the holiday, once traffic is down.”

Those aren’t the only suggestions Walker has.

“With the amount of traffic we have on holidays, people who are going to be kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, we stress wearing PFDs and Coast Guard approved lifejackets,” Walker said. “The competitive ski jackets are not Coast Guard approved.

We highly stress that life jackets need to be on due to traffic on the water.”

Unlike automobile traffic where many drivers are on the way to or from work, Walker said boat operators should slow down.

“The water isn’t going anywhere, take your time,” Walker said. “You have all weekend to enjoy it. Once you get on the water, don’t get in a hurry to go anywhere. You are not going to be late for work here. Enjoy the water; enjoy the weather. Just take your time and slow down a little bit.”

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Marine Patrol will be on the waters of Alabama over the Memorial Day holiday weekend and summer to help protect boaters.

Bigger than life

By BETH CHAPMAN

I

’ve met many famous people throughout my career - presidents, movie stars, authors, Miss Americas, singers, athletes, politicians and more. Some have been impressive, others not so much. Some have had great personalities and seemed genuine, while others were as fake as the thick makeup they wore.

Some celebrities are genuine to the core – humble, genuine and grateful to God for their followers and fans. One such celebrity (though she doesn’t see herself as one) is Alabama’s own Brenda Gantt of Andalusia.

Famous for her homemade biscuits, downhome southern cooking and love for her faith, love for God and family, Gantt became an internet sensation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The retired schoolteacher and grandmother began posting cooking videos from her home kitchen at the request of young husbands in her church. They wanted their wives to learn to bake biscuits, and before long, her videos went viral.

Since then, Gantt has posted hundreds of videos and garnered more than 2 million Facebook followers. Homespun stories with her thick southern drawl draw fans in closely as she shares stories of her faith, food, and castiron skillet skills. She has appeared on national television shows and on the covers of multiple magazines.

Her daily schedule starts at 4 a.m. with a goal to always to be a lifter - something she encourages others to be. And an encourager she is.

The four times I’ve been with her left me feeling so much happier and more inspired just being in her presence. She just has that kind of spirit about her and that kind of effect on people.

Gantt’s first cookbook, “It’s Gonna Be Good Ya’ll” was released in November and was a huge hit. Her second cookbook, “Linger Around the Table Ya’ll” is coming out soon and can be ordered at www.Brendaganttbook.com.

In a world where celebrities aren’t always what they’re cracked up to be, we need to support those who are. Just like we support Alabama businesses, we need to support Alabama celebrities and authors, and here’s one I hope you’ll join me in supporting. Because I know for sure Alabama has one celebrity in particular that’s the real thing and bigger than life. Her name is Brenda Gantt, and she’s as real and as sweet as the homemade buttered biscuits she bakes.

Other places who receive my columns have had to contend with destructive tornadoes, floods and fires.

It’s times like these when you need a little help in what to say. And these words come from a local high school star who went on to great fame on our baseball field and in the classroom at LaGrange College. But life can throw you a curveball

Happy Memorial Day! Memorial Day occurs every year in the United States on the last Monday in May. This holiday is set aside to remember all U.S. soldiers who died in service to our Country in any war or conflict.

Memorial Day is a Federal Holiday which means that it is celebrated across the Country in all states. Traditionally, the U.S. flag is flown at half-staff until Noon on this holiday. After the American Civil War, many cities around the United States began setting aside days of observance for their Veterans who died in battle. These days were largely celebrated by decorating the graves of soldiers; as a result, it was originally called Decoration Day. Although the exact origins of Memorial Day are unknown, it is believed that the first true celebration of the holiday occurred in Waterloo, New York, in 1866. In 1868, General John A. Logan declared the holiday to be a time to give tribute to DRfallen KIDZ comrades. The original Decoration Day was only meant to be a tribute to Civil War veterans, but after the end of WWII, the holiday was modified to commemorate the lost lives of all American soldiers in all wars. The holiday was widely celebrated after this time, and Congress declared in 1971 that the Memorial Day Holiday would be celebrated the last Monday of every May. This year Memorial Day is on Monday May 30, 2022.

I am amazed by communication, especially written words. Not only are words formed by what we refer to as our alphabet, but our numeric system is widely used especially in pricing and direction.

Many countries have written communication by drawing of symbols. Mind you, I am just referring to the way language appears visually and not even addressing the structure of sentences. A couple months ago one of our granddaughters had a birthday and I was going to send her a card with some money in it. Surprisingly to me, her mom told me to be sure I printed any words as she could not read cursive writing very well as it was not taught in school; this is an 11th grader. Recently, while stopped at a traffic light, I noticed numerous signs with both writing and numbers and I made the comment to my husband, I wonder how you and I learned to know what all that says. A quick response ensued, “it was our kindergarten and elementary school teachers who saw to it that we learned to read. So, before this article continues, thank you to all you teachers who had such an impact on so many generations. None of my family learned to read while communing with nature nor did they learn to read by gathering with like-minded people. They learned in a building set aside for teaching with mostly ladies and gentlemen who gave so much of themselves for others.

One cannot be a teacher just because that

is their wish or desire, nor can one be a pastor because of wishing and desiring. For a teacher, education and continuing education is a must. For a pastor, a divine calling from God, followed by as much education as possible is important.

Scripture teaches, “how can we hear without a preacher,” thus doing your “own thing” is not scriptural. Bible study is a completely different thing. Much can be learned from groups of people getting together and not only learning what God has to say but communicating with God. God created the most perfect and beautiful universe that one could imagine. He made it for you, and he made it for me to enjoy and to be in complete awe of His creation, but He also spoke it into existence. God did so much for mankind, but He also showed us His power, His greatness, His authority, His Love, and this is the marvel of who God is, not what He created. God knows everything, has the power to do anything, and is perfectly good.

What about the Church? As He had promised, Heavenly Father sent His Son Jesus Christ, to earth over 2,000 years ago. Jesus had a perfect, sinless life. He established His Church, taught His gospel, and performed many miracles. He chose twelve men to be His Apostles. Jesus Christ established the Church. “Do not forsake the assembling together but do so to exhort one another.” (Hebrews 10:25).

Will Auburn turn to Zach Calzada at QB?

I

came across a survey last ANDY week poll- GRAHAM ing Auburn fans on a number of Columnist topics about the upcoming 2022 football season. Questions ranged from number of wins to leading tackler to most concerning opponent and all points in between.

One of the most interesting results came from the question, “Who will be Auburn’s starting quarterback for the majority of the season?” According to Tiger fans who took part in the survey, 62.9 percent answered Zach Calzada, 28.3 percent answered Robby Ashford and only 8.9 percent answered TJ Finley. As I read those numbers, I started wondering to myself how I would have voted. I concluded that I would have most certainly cast my vote for Calzada as well.

Then, I asked myself why choose him over the other two. So, this is me trying to answer that question.

First, I’m little surprised TJ Finley received such a small percentage of the vote.

After all, he is the only returning candidate with any experience on the Plains. He has a familiarity with the offensive line, receivers and coaching staff. He also went through spring practice and has, reportedly, gained the respect of his teammates. Finley came off the bench last year and led Auburn to a fourth-quarter comeback against Georgia State. Of course, the simple fact that the Tigers were behind against Georgia State in the 4th quarter of a football game makes it a dubious honor. TJ had a great opportunity in the bowl game against Houston to establish himself for 2022. He went 19 for 37 with 227 yards and 1 TD. Auburn would lose the game 17-13 and Finley seemed to lose the confidence of most fans. He certainly lost any confidence I might have had in him.

Robby Ashford is a transfer from Oregon who originally played high school at Hoover. He never saw the field in 2020 or 2021 in Eugene. I was fairly impressed with his ability in the spring game, but it’s an incredibly small sample size. He obviously has a strong arm and is clearly the most mobile of the three QB’s. I think Ashford falls into category of the “wildcard.” I’m just not certain he fits the type of offense Bryan Harsin wants to run. I could envision a scenario where he wins the backup job and comes off the bench due to injury with great success.

Ultimately, I believe Zach Calzada will be named Auburn’s starting QB. Why? Because he has the biggest upside and gives the Tigers the best chance to win. Thrust into duty for Texas A&M in 2021 because of a season-ending injury to Haynes King, Calzada threw for 2185 yards with 17 TD and 9 INT. He only completed 56.2% of his passes.

We all remember the game against Alabama.

Clearly, that was him at his best as he led the Aggies to a 41-38 victory throwing for 285 yards and 3 TD. Unfortunately, he could not duplicate that performance on a regular basis. In his defense, he was banged up a lot of the year. He injured his knee against Alabama and separated his shoulder against Auburn. So, his toughness goes without question. Zach is now completely healthy.

He will also need to do something Bo Nix was never able to and that is improve his accuracy to give Auburn a realistic chance to succeed. Most of my eggs are in the Calzada basket. Where are you putting yours?

SUBMITTED | THE RECORD

Red snapper season starts up Friday. Anglers across the state will harvest until the private angler quota is projected to be met.

ALABAMA’S RED SNAPPER

SEASON OPENS FRIDAY STAFF REPORT TPI staff

T

he Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ (ADCNR) Marine Resources Division (MRD) reminds anglers that Alabama state waters and federal waters will open to private and state-licensed charter vessel anglers for red snapper harvest on Friday, May 27, 2022. The season will consist of four-day weekends, Friday through Monday, beginning Friday, May 27, and continue until the private angler quota is projected to be met.

The season dates listed above only apply to anglers fishing from shore, private recreational vessels and state-licensed Alabama commercial party boats that do not hold federal for-hire fishing permits. The season for anglers fishing from federally-permitted for-hire vessels will run seven days a week from June 1, 2022, until 12:01 a.m. August 19, 2022.

Anglers are reminded of the following: ▶ Greater amberjack and gray triggerfish seasons will close 12:01 a.m. June 1, 2022. ▶ Weekends open to red snapper harvest are defined as 12:01 a.m. Friday through 11:59 p.m.

Monday. ▶ The daily bag limit will be two red snapper per person, per day with a minimum size limit of 16 inches total length. ▶ Anglers 16 years of age and older must have an Alabama saltwater fishing license (resident or non-resident, annual or trip), and any Alabama resident 65 or older or a lifetime saltwater license holder must have a current saltwater angler registration. The saltwater angler registration is free and available at www.outdooralabama.com/ saltwater-fishing/saltwater-angler-registration. ▶ All anglers 16 years of age and older who possess gulf reef fish, including red snapper, must have an Alabama Gulf Reef Fish Endorsement which is available at www.outdooralabama.com/ saltwater-fishing/saltwater-reef-fish-endorsement. ▶ Anglers under the age of 16 are not required to be licensed, possess an Alabama Gulf Reef Fish Endorsement or have saltwater angler registration, but their catch must be included in a landing report. ▶ The owner or operator of each vessel landing red snapper in Alabama is required by law to complete one landing report per vessel trip of their harvested red snapper through Snapper Check prior to removing the fish from the boat or the boat with the fish being removed from the water. All landed

red snapper are required to be reported prior to landing regardless of the jurisdiction in which the fish were caught. ▶ Red snapper caught from non-powered vessels, piers and the shoreline are required to be reported through Snapper Check and require a Conservation ID number, https://game.dcnr.alabama.gov/CID. ▶ A landing report may be submitted through Snapper Check in the Outdoor AL app, which is available from Apple and Android stores or online at www.outdooralabama.com. ▶ Participation in a MRD creel survey or being inspected by enforcement officers is not considered reporting. Anglers must still report through Snapper Check even if encountered by MRD staff. ▶ Operators of vessels with an Alabama Commercial Party Boat License without federal for-hire permits must abide by the state season, possess an Alabama Gulf Reef Fish Endorsement for charter vessels and may only fish inside the 9-mile state waters line. An Alabama Snapper Check landing report must be completed when landing red snapper in Alabama. ▶ Possession of red snapper in state waters while the Alabama season is closed is prohibited. Anglers fishing under another state’s red snapper season, must abide by that state’s rules and land fish in that state. Individuals on vessels with recreationally caught red snapper may not transit Alabama state waters while the Alabama season is closed. ▶ Operators of federally permitted for-hire boats must possess an Alabama Gulf Reef Fish Endorsement but are not required to report through Snapper Check; however, they must use NOAA Fisheries’ Southeast For-Hire Integrated Electronic Reporting Program. ▶ Anglers on federally permitted charter vessels may fish in state waters only during the days the state season is open. They may transit with red snapper during the days state waters are closed.

Once the federal season is closed, they may not fish in state or federal waters. Owners/operators of federally permitted charter vessels are required to possess an Alabama Gulf Reef Fish Endorsement.

New for 2022: All vessels fishing for reef fish in federal waters are required to have a venting tool or descending device rigged and ready to use. The Return ‘Em Right program provides free training to Gulf of Mexico reef fish anglers that are committed to using best release practices and helping the future of the fishery. Anglers may also be eligible for free release gear but supplies are limited. Learn more at https://returnemright.org.

Black Belt’s hunting and fishing impact celebrated

BY DAVID RAINER Alabama Depar tment of Conservation and Natural Resources A storied history, rich culture and fertile soil are not the only features of the Alabama Black Belt to be celebrated.

The Black Belt is also an important economic driver in our state’s outdoor recreation industry.

In fact, outdoor recreation in the Black Belt accounts for onethird of those economic benefits for the entire state.

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey visited one of the Black Belt’s famous hunting lodges to highlight what the area means to the state. Governor Ivey joined Conservation Commissioner Chris Blankenship, Cade Warner of Westervelt Company and Don Wood, owner of Wilkes Creek Plantation in West Greene, Alabama.

Governor Ivey and Commissioner Blankenship also visited a wood products operation in Pickens County earlier that morning before the luncheon at Wilkes Creek Plantation. There, Governor Ivey spoke on the importance of the timber industry and inland waterways in the Black Belt, as well as the economic impact of hunting and fishing.

“Another huge economic driver in this area that we simply can’t do without is hunting and fishing,” Governor Ivey said. “Here in Alabama, hunting and fishing has a $3 billion, that’s with a B, economic impact and supports more than 25,000 jobs. In the Black Belt alone, it produces more than $1.4 billion in economic impact and pumps in a whopping $28 million to the state’s education budget. Y’all, that’s big.

“We talked about turkeys a while ago, and I’m not talking about the figurative turkeys you might find in Washington, D.C. I mean our feathered friends here in Alabama. Just last Sunday, we were talking about our spring season here in Alabama. Some hunters were successful,

and some wily turkeys outsmarted others. But one thing is for sure, and that is hunters brought in a lot of revenue to communities like here in Greene County. Alabama is a great place to hunt and fish, no doubt about it. And Commissioner Blankenship and his team at Conservation and Natural Resources play a major part in that. As your governor, I will continue to support the great outdoors God has blessed us with. I look for more success in outdoor recreation.

So may God continue to bless each of you and the great state of Alabama.”

Commissioner Blankenship said Governor Ivey has been a great supporter ADCNR, and she insisted on restarting the Governor’s One-Shot Turkey Hunt, which had not been held since 2015.

Commissioner Blankenship thanked host Wood for participating in the Governor’s Hunt, which brought corporate CEOs, corporate presidents, outdoor and entertainment celebrities, media representatives and sponsors to the state to hunt turkeys and enjoy Alabama’s great Southern hospitality.

“The Governor’s OneShot Turkey Hunt is a great event, not only to promote hunting and fishing in Alabama, which is a multi-billiondollar industry in our state, but it’s also a great industry recruitment tool for Alabama,” C o m m i s s i o n e r Blankenship said. “We are blessed with great places in our state like this in Greene County.

We have the mountains in northeast Alabama.

We’ve got the Gulf of Mexico. We just have an unbelievably beautiful state.

“Getting people to come to Alabama to give them some good ol’ Southern hospitality and allow them to spend a couple of days getting to hunt and visit with the people in our state, has been very successful at bringing some of these companies to Alabama or having them expand their operations here. I don’t have to tell anybody in Greene County about the economic impact of hunting to the Black Belt or our state. We passed hunting camps and properties on our way here. Those landowners opened up their homes, lodges and properties for the Governor’s OneShot Turkey Hunt here in Greene County. I thank you very much for your hospitality.”

Commissioner Blankenship said the Governor’s One-Shot Turkey Hunt raised more money for the Alabama Conservation and Natural Resources Foundation than ever before. The Foundation supports scholarships at Auburn University and the University of Alabama. It also funds Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) programs that promote hunting and fishing, like Hunters

Helping the Hungry, Becoming an OutdoorsWoman, youth dove hunts, youth duck hunts and the Adult Mentored Hunting Program.

“We’ve expanded that into our ‘Go Fish, Alabama!’ program,” he said. “There’s a lot of folks who didn’t grow up fishing and want to fish.

And what a great pastime that is. We’re introducing people to fishing so they can spend more time in the outdoors. Outdoor recreation is such a huge part of the Alabama economy overall, and it’s growing every day.

We were talking earlier today about the Birding Trail and how the birdwatchers are used to going to the coast or to spots along the Tennessee River. However, they are discovering this part of the state as well because they have found out if you want to see a bunch of different species of birds and get to meet some of the finest people in Alabama, the Black Belt is the place to go.”

Don Wood of Wilkes Creek Plantation, whose family is the eighth generation to live in the antebellum home built by his ancestors in 1887, said origins of the plantation started in 1800 when his family received a land patent from the U.S. government, 19 years before Alabama became a state.

“We’ve been here during the tenure of every governor Alabama has ever had,” Wood said. “Until today, one of them never showed up here. Governor we appreciate you being here. Governor, we appreciate you being a ‘high stepper.’”

Governor Ivey introduced Cade Warner of the Westervelt Company, saying, “Westervelt brings the timber industry and outdoor property leasing to the state as well as operating a top-notch hunting lodge in Pickens County.”

Warner, Westervelt’s Chief Sustainability Officer, said Westervelt is a 138-year-old private company based in Tuscaloosa with five basic units, one of which is forest resources.

Westervelt manages about 600,000 acres of land throughout the Southeast.

“Westervelt owns high quality timberland, all managed sustainably,” Warner said. “Forest Resources also manages our recreational program, which manages recreation on 700,000 acres across the Southeast, including our 600,000 acres.”

Westervelt Lodge in Pickens County is on a 14,000-acre property.

The company’s Forestry Resources also manages nursery and seedling operations in Greene County.

“At Westervelt, we consider ourselves stewards of the land.

It’s the first line in our mission statement,” Warner said. “The longterm sustainability of our natural resources, including timber, wildlife habitat, water

quality and hunting traditions are core management objectives for our business. We’ve managed our land this way for more than 100 years and plan to do so for 100 more.”

Commissioner Blankenship reminded those in attendance of the opportunities available through ADCNR, many of them in rural areas like Greene County.

“We have 40 Wildlife Management Areas and 23 state fishing lakes, which provide good opportunities to fish but also provide some subsistence in these rural areas with bass, catfish and bream,” Commissioner Blankenship said. “We have 285,000 acres of Forever Wild property that we manage around the state, 99% of which is open to the public for hunting. We have 21 State Parks.

“All that is great, but we’re not resting on our laurels at the Department of Conservation. We really see an opportunity to use outdoor recreation and all the beauty God has blessed us with to recruit talent to come to our state to take the jobs that the Governor is working so hard to produce in our state.

We’ve seen such huge economic growth in our state it has led to super low unemployment. With low unemployment, we need more people to come into our state and take these new jobs.

“There are a lot of places that don’t have the quality of life we have here. We can use outdoor recreation to let people see what we have in Alabama. Hopefully, these people will stay, work and raise families.”

Commissioner Blankenship noted that Wilkes Creek Plantation is part of the Alabama Quail Trail, a coalition of lodges throughout the state that promotes the bird-hunting tradition in Alabama.

“We’re trying to grow quail hunting in different parts of the state to bring that back,” he said. “It’s been something lost over time with development.

That’s one thing about Westervelt: It’s not just about growing timber.

It’s about the habitat.

It’s about the wildlife.

We’re seeing companies like Westervelt and big landowners that are looking to do more for the wildlife and bring the quail back.

“We are working with Ducks Unlimited in west Alabama to attract ducks and duck hunters to this part of the state. And then we get to boating access. We have the Tombigbee River and beautiful waterways.

It’s great to have that, but if you don’t have places to get on it, you miss that opportunity.

We’re working with the Governor to build more boat ramps around the state and to really set us up as THE destination for outdoor recreation in the Southeast.”

David Rainer is with the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

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.

the flag to members of Team Red, White and Blue.

Following the kick-off event, thousands of military veterans with Team Red, White and Blue will participate in the relay by carrying an American flag flown by Shelby over the U.S. Capitol on a 44-day, 3,100-mile journey through 15 states — beginning in the nation’s capital and ending at the start of the World Games on July 7 in Birmingham, Alabama.

“I am pleased to help kick off the Old Glory Relay to The World Games 2022, which will be held in Birmingham, Alabama, where I was born and raised,” said Shelby. “It has been my honor to fly the Team Red, White and Blue American flag over the Capitol — the same flag that will be relayed by thousands of American veterans all the way to the Magic City for the official start of The World Games in July. This is an incredible opportunity to honor our veterans and show the world all that Alabama has to offer. Best of luck to all of the relay participants and The World Games’ athletes.”

Tuberville echoed similar sentiments.

“We are excited to welcome people from across the globe to Birmingham, Alabama, for The World Games 2022,” said Tuberville. “No doubt, Birmingham has been eagerly preparing to host this event, and visitors will find a warm welcome when they arrive. Birmingham is a thriving city with a lot to offer. I look forward to watching all the athletes compete and explore the city’s history, sights, and restaurants.”

Birmingham was previously announced as the host city for The 11th World Games in 2015. The World Games 2022 will take place from July 7-17, with an estimated 3,600 athletes competing in 34 different sports.

ing music fans of all ages with feelings of love, excitement and inclusion.

Over the past ten years, the band has shared the stage with notable bands including Sound Culture, Rhythm Earth, Trent in the Trees, Collie Buddz and The Swinging Medallions. They released an EP “A Spaceship to the Moon” in December 2016 and singles “Sweet Mary,” “See You Soon” and “Champagne for Breakfast.”

The band will now return to their Dadeville roots on May 29 for a special performance featuring multiple guest artists. The concert is expected to last from 7-11 p.m. The event is open to the community and free of charge.

KAITLIN FLEMING | THE RECORD

Political endorsement signs line the road leading into the National Guard Armory in Alexander City. The newly reopened polling station is one of the largest in Tallapoosa County.

US SENATE Continued from A1

A runoff election between Yolanda Rochelle Flowers and Malika SandersFortier is necessary after Flowers failed to reach a 50 percent majority vote.

Ivey posted to social media shortly before all counties were reported last night saying, “We did it, Alabama!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you! This victory belongs to you.”

In addition to winning the governor’s race in 2018, Ivey ran for two consecutive terms as lieutenant governor – 2010 and 2014 – and had a stint as a state treasurer for two terms, beginning in 2002.

In the race for a United States Senate seat, the much-anticipated Republican primary will also go to a runoff between Katie Britt and Mo Brooks.

Will Boyd, the crowd-favorite on the Democrat ticket, advanced to the November election with 63.69 percent of the votes cast.

Locally, Britt garnered 49.52 percent of votes while Brooks only

managed 18.82 percent. Mike Durant pulled 29.38 percent of the votes in Tallapoosa County but was only able to gain 23.32 percent statewide.

Brooks pulled off 29.14 percent of the vote statewide, but Britt took 44.73 percent of votes.

Mike Rogers easily won the Republican nominee for United States Representative for District 3 with 81.94 percent of votes.

Steve Marshall swept the field in the race for Alabama Attorney General. He picked up 91.97 percent of votes in Tallapoosa County.

All 67 counties had their results in shortly after 11 p.m. According to the preliminary tally on the Alabama Secretary of State’s website, overall voter turnout was lower than projections, with just 21.43 percent of registered voters casting a ballot. Only 779,980 ballots were cast.

Results are still unofficial until certified.

Overall, most voters in Alabama supported the proposed statewide amendment number one, commonly referred to as the “State Park Amendment.” An overwhelming majority (76.94 percent) voted “yes” for the

CRANK 4 BANK - For the third year in a row Crank 4 Bank, a tagged fishing event, is coming to Lake Martin.

STAND OUT

LOCAL RACES The race for State Senator District 27 between Jay Hovey and Tom Whatley is still too close to call. Hovey currently has four more votes than Whatley, but provisional ballots are still untallied and a recount may be necessary or requested by either candidate. Locally, Whatley garnered 69.48 percent of the votes, but in Lee County — Hovey’s home county — Hovey gathered 62.64 percent of the votes.

In the race for 5th Judicial Circuit District Attorney, Jeremy Duerr, despite his lead in Tallapoosa County, fell just shy of Segrest who picked up 54.66 percent of votes districtwide.

Segrest led votes in Chambers County, with a comfortable 67.24 percent of votes.

Very few voters cast ballots in the race for Tallapoosa County Commission District 3. But out of the 1,872 ballots cast for either candidate, 1,148 voters selected John McKelvey to continue in his current position. Political challenger Frank Tapley, who once held the seat, managed 724 votes, but not enough to unseat McKelvey.
