Dadeville farmer’s market to return June 12

PENNINGTON PARK DISPLAYS 2,000 AMERICAN FLAGS FOR MEMORIAL DAY

By WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Reporter The Dadeville farmer’s market is returning for another year, with the first day set for Sunday, June 12 at Pennington Park.

Park owners Kurt and Leigh Pfitzner describe the occasion as a time to mingle with the community and enjoy delicious homegrown food.

“One of the neatest things is that we have a lot of the same vendors coming here. They're like a family with each other and they'll go and they'll swap veggies and swap stories. It's a lot of fun to see the same people come back year after year,” Kurt said.

Although a tradition now, the Pfitzners recall a farmer’s market being among Dadeville residents' most frequent requests when they first purchased Pennington Park in 2018.

“When we bought the property, one of the things that neighbors asked was to have a farmers market. They had always wanted a farmers market and many people had to go to Auburn or Alex City so that was one of our first priorities,” Leigh said.

So, the couple partnered with Alexander City’s farmer’s market to begin gaining knowledge and expertise.

“We're building partnerships across the river, and we'd like to continue doing whatever we can to share partnerships with Alexander City and event events because we want to make sure that we are a collaborator, and have an opportunity to showcase what both Alexander city and Dadeville bring to the table,” Kurt said.

Now in their third year, the Pfitzners feel that the Dadeville farmer’s market has only grown in popularity.

“We have people waiting in line every time that want to come in and start shopping, sometimes before the farmers are even all set up. So, people are really anxious and eager to get in and get the fresh food,” Leigh said.

Among the fresh produce, residents can also find a variety of homemade products from local artisans, including jams, jellies and even other household items such as soaps and lotions.

As paterons shop, they can also enjoy live music at the park’s pavilion.

Dadeville’s farmer market will be held on Sundays throughout June and July from at 11 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.

ennington Park was adorned with several thousand American flags to honor local veterans as part of Memorial Day festivities.

Park owners Kurt and Leigh Pfitzner joined dozens of Dadeville residents last Tuesday to plant flags across the park as a tribute to veterans that died in the line of duty.

Kurt, a 32-year U.S. Air Force veteran, first began

organizing the memorial three years ago as a way to recognize his fellow brothers and sistersin-arms.

“I felt I needed to memorialize the park for Memorial Day. Little did we know, however, that it was going to garner an extraordinary amount of attention with people coming for hours, just looking at the flags. We know we have something special,” Kurt said.

Kurt added that he has always had a calling for military service, ever since his

father served.

“Service has always been in our blood. I have always had a sense of commitment to the country and I wanted to serve,” he said.

Kurt eventually found the opportunity when he enlisted as a U.S. Air Force police officer and then as a fulltime commissioned Air Force servicemember.

During the Persian Gulf War, Kurt transitioned to Washington D.C. where he acted as a

In his later career, Kurt served as the Deputy National Commander for the U.S. Air Force ROTC before eventually retiring.

Now as a long-time Dadeville resident, Kurt hopes that the memorial will promote reflection and remembrance over the holiday weekend.

“We wanted to remember individuals who were close to Dadeville and recognize those who spent their time protecting their country and who are no longer with us, but who are with us in spirit,” he said.

In addition to flags, memorial markers have been placed throughout

the park to recognize deceased veterans by name, rank and service branch. As of Tuesday, Kurt estimated that he had received over 100 names from families across Dadeville and Tallapoosa County.

Overall, Kurt expressed his gratitude for the numerous Dadeville residents that assisted with assembling the tribute.

“I hope people can see that the events that we have in Pennington Park are designed to benefit the community and most importantly, through our Memorial Day efforts, and the people in Dadeville who have joined us to help put this together, that has just been extraordinary to me,” he said.

E

very election cycle some people say the strangest thing: “My vote doesn’t matter.”

When we have the freedom to participate in the choice of our leaders, why would we not vote? Do we care that little for what happens in our communities?

The race for Senate District 27 came down to one single vote. Voters in Lee, Russell and Tallapoosa counties cast just over 16,730 votes in the Republican primary and political newcomer Jay Hovey led incumbent Tom Whatley by four votes until provisional ballots were validated Tuesday afternoon. It’s the closest election on this scale according to Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill.

In Tallapoosa County 15 provisional ballots were cast county wide but not every voter in Tallapoosa County could have cast a vote for Hovey or Whatley. Some voters cast ballots for Democrat Party races and would be unable to cast a vote in the Hovey, Whatley Republican race. Some Tallapoosa County voters are not in the district to vote in the race. Some in Tallapoosa County who voted in the Senate District 27 race in 2018 were not able to vote this year because of redistricting approved by the Alabama legislature in the last year. From the River Bridge into Alexander City and west towards Wind Creek State Park was once in District 27 and represented by Whatley in the senate. It is now represented by Clyde Chambliss of senate District 30.

Fewer than 85 provisional ballots were cast across the three counties.

The provisional votes were certified by the county board of elections and added to the totals from Tuesday’s election.

Not all provisional ballots were certified and added to the total. Traditionally in Tallapoosa County fewer than 30 percent of provisional ballots are certified. Reasons vary from a voter not living in the district to not registering to vote in time. This time around, 11 of the 15 provisional ballots in Tallapoosa County were certified.

If neither candidate foots the bill for a recount the race would be officially over and Hovey will have one with just one vote to spare.

Had the provisional ballots ended up with a tie, the race could have been decided by a coin toss.

Alabama law provides that in the event of a tie in an election, a game of chance decides the winner.

The most recent example of that was when a coin toss decided the winner in the sheriff race in Clay County in 2018. A coin toss decided who would lead law enforcement in an entire county.

Perhaps the person in the senate seat doesn’t matter to you. Perhaps you do not care where your tax dollars are spent. Perhaps you were fine with either candidate. Whatever your reason for not voting was, your vote would have made a difference one way or the other.

TV still drives the vote A fter the 1960 Kennedy vs. Nixon classic presidential contest, television became the medium for political campaigns.

TV became the new campaign strategy in Alabama in 1962. George Wallace, Big Jim Folsom, and Ryan DeGraffenried used TV that year for the first time.

Unfortunately for Big Jim Folsom, his use of TV was the demise of his storied political career. His appearance on a live 30 minute paid television show was one of the most colorful stories in Alabama politics. He came on TV drunk as Cooter Brown.

That’s a story for another day.

Wallace and Folsom were used to campaigning one-onone and asking folks for their vote. They stumped and had rallies in every county and hamlet in the state. However, in the end, they succumbed to the politics of TV. It has not changed but become more pronounced over the last 60 years. This 2022 campaign for our open senate seat is nothing more than a TV show.

TV has become such an integral part of getting elected to a U.S. Senate Seat that it appears that what you do now is just raise money or if you have a lot of your own money, spend your own money and buy and design effective TV ads. The day of actually campaigning appears to be over. The only candidate who made an effort to campaign in every county, shake hands and meet folks was Katie Britt.

There will be several runoffs as a result of the May 24 primaries, including the Secretary of State’s race.

It includes a familiar name because that candidate has been on ballots more times than Carter’s has pills. His name has been on at least 11 ballots. I encourage voters to research the qualifications and look beyond name recognition.

Former Probate Judge Wes Allen is vying for the position of the state’s chief elections official as well and is the only candidate in the race who has ever overseen an election.

He’s supervised more than 12 elections without a flaw, and he’ll work hard to overcome his opponent’s name I.D. He is an elections expert and one who will make a great Secretary of State.

The list of candidates goes on, and we’ll cover more of those as we approach the runoff.

For now, rest well knowing our state is safe with Gov. Ivey at the helm for another four years. Study up and prepare to go back to the polls on Tuesday, June 21.

The Red Cross Society

The Red Cross is a worldwide relief organization that assists people in times of need after natural disasters, wars, and other emergencies. In some Countries, the organization is called the Red Crescent Society; the name was officially used in 1876 in the Ottoman Empire after it was ordered to place a red crescent on vehicles to be identified as ambulances. Today, the Red Cross is recognized around the World as a neutral organization and is often allowed into Countries holding prisoners of war, or refugee camps, to administer First Aid and other humanitarian needs to prisoners, as DRas KIDZ well relocating and aiding people after conflicts. The history of the Red Cross dates back as far as 1859 when a Swiss man by the name of Jean-Henri Dunant witnessed the aftermath of the Battle of Solferino in Italy. Seeing a need for help, Dunant led a group of volunteers to administer aid to the thousands wounded. Dunant initiated the first Red Cross committee in Geneva, Switzerland, to establish a Red Cross. It was here that the Geneva Convention was written, and the Red Cross was born. In 1869, an American Civil War nurse by the name of Clara Barton visited Switzerland and learned of the Red Cross movement. Barton was so impressed with the society that she came back to the United States and founded the American Red Cross in 1881.

She served as the organization’s president for 23 years, until 1904. In 1900, the American Red Cross received a congressional charter by the U.S. Congress. Today, the American Red Cross, as with all national societies, creates programs based on the needs of its citizens. Blood drives and donations are a major part of their work, as are classes to teach individuals first aid, nursing, CPR, swimming lessons, and babysitting. They collect donations and distribute goods in times of disaster, both in the United States and Countries abroad.

By JACKIE WILBOURN Doing some Bible Study this week in the Book of Exodus I came across an amazing story! Exodus, the 2nd Book of the Old Testament, was written

by Moses. Exodus describes the escape of the Israelites from Egypt, and the events surrounding the exodus. The Exodus is the reconstitution of the Israelites, making them a nation. My interest came from Chapter 10:11, “Go now ye that are men and serve the Lord.”.

Many times I have heard pastors preach that salvation is much more than a “fire insurance policy” that keeps one out of Hell. Many new converts believe all they need is assurance that they will go to Heaven when they die. There is so much more to being a Christian than a “public profession of faith” and “baptism:”. As the scripture reads, “serve the Lord.” Furthermore, in the New Testament, Ephesians 6:13 reads “…be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.”

The year was 1858 and a great city-wide revival swept across the city of “brotherly love.” It was called the Work of God in Philadelphia. A young twenty-nine-year-old participated in the revival and none was more powerful than Dudley Tyng.

Having succeeded his father in the pulpit, young Dudley became known as bold, fearless, and an uncompromising preacher with influence on other spiritual leaders around him. However, many of the preachers and members of the day became quite upset with the young preacher as he preached

straight doctrinal messages. If the Bible said it, then it was true! One of the many strong stands he took was against slavery. In fact, he resigned this pulpit and with a group of faithful followers organized The Church of the Covenant. Mind you, this pastor resigned over doctrinal issues not the petty issues that church members leave churches for today, During a sermon, Reverend Tyng remarked that he would “rather his right arm was amputated at the trunk than come short of his duty in delivering God’s message.” The very next week, he was watching the operation of a corn thrasher in a barn and accidentally caught his loose sleeve between the cogs; the arm was severely lacerated.

Four days later infection set in, and Dudley died.

At his death bed, when asked if he would make a final statement, he whispered, “Let us all stand up for Jesus.” One of his dear friends, the Reverend George Duffield was present at his death bed. The next Sunday morning Reverend Duffield used Ephesians 6:14 as his text as he paid tribute to his departed friend. He closed his sermon by reading a six- stanza poem he has written that was inspired by his friends dying words.

God does move in mysterious ways His wonders to perform as the words were penned to the song we still sing today in our churches, “Stand Up, Stand Up, for Jesus”, “ye men that now serve Him”.

ALLIGATOR HUNT REGISTRATION

OPENS JUNE 7

By David Rainer Special to The Outlook The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) will open online registration for the state’s regulated alligator hunts on June 7, 2022, at 8 a.m.

Registration must be completed by 8 a.m., July 13. For complete season information, visit www.outdooralabama.com/seasons-andbag-limits/alligator-season.

A total of 260 Alligator Possession Tags will be distributed among five hunting zones.

The administrative fee to apply for an Alligator Possession Tag is $22 and individuals may register one time per zone. While the tag is free, the selected hunters and their assistants are required to have valid hunting licenses in their possession while hunting.

Only Alabama residents and Alabama lifetime license holders ages 16 years or older may apply for tags. Alabama lifetime license holders may apply for an Alligator Possession Tag even if they have moved out of the state.

Hunters will be randomly selected by computer to receive one Alligator Possession Tag each (the tags are non-transferable). The random selection process will utilize a preference point system. The system increases the likelihood of repeat registrants being selected for a hunt as long as the applicant continues to apply. The more years an applicant participates in the registration, the higher the likelihood of being selected. If an applicant does not register for the hunt in a given year or is selected and accepts a tag for a hunt, the preference point status is forfeited.

Applicants can check their selection status on July 13, after 12 p.m., at https:// publichunts.dcnr.alabama.gov/public. Those selected to receive a tag must confirm their acceptance online by 8 a.m., July 20. After that date, alternates will be notified to fill any vacancies. Applicants drawn for the hunt are required to complete an online Alligator Training Course prior to accepting their hunter/alternate status.

I

don't feel like it would be appropriate to let Memorial Day pass without at least acknowledging it and what it means.

We're all overwhelmed with the knowledge of how precious life truly is when we turn on the news everyday.

Far too many times and once is too many, innocent life is taken through senseless violence. However, it makes days like Memorial Day that much more special. Every single life that we recognize on that day was not taken.

It was given. It was offered up for something bigger. It was sacrificed for a purpose. That purpose is called America and every one of those people deserve our utmost respect and honor.

The Auburn Tigers will be hosting a Regional at Plainsman Park in the NCAA Baseball Tournament for the first time since 2010. Auburn has now earned a bid in the postseason four times in the last six years and one of those absences was due to a cancellation of the season in 2020.

OPINION: Dynasties return for monumental finals matchup

By LARRY ROBINSON Staff writer Four games are all that remain that separates the next NBA Champion from the rest of the crop.

The Boston Celtics is

the NBA’s second most historical team, winning 17 championship titles in 21 trips to the finals and rivaled only by the 17-time NBA champions in the LA Lakers.

Facing them in the

2022 NBA Finals is the most historical team in recent history who have reached six finals in eight years and is the first team to accomplish such a feat since the 1990s Michael Jordan led Bulls, the Golden State Warriors.

What may be the most polarizing matchup between old bloods and new bloods, offensive juggernauts and defensive workhorses begins on Thursday evening as the Warriors host the Celtics in game one of the NBA Finals in San Francisco’s Chase Center.

game seven Eastern Conference Finals matchup in their house before Boston forced a 17-point first quarter that Miami never could claw back from.

During these playoffs, Celtics three-time NBA AllDefensive First Team guard Marcus Smart was named the 20212022 Defensive Player of the Year. A first of his career.

The Golden State Warriors had a quite different route to the finals through the West, downing next generation players on less-than super teams like Luka Doncic and Ja PATH THROUGH AND TO Morant while gentlemen The Boston Celtics sweeping the back-tohave had less than an back MVP in Nikola easy path through the Jokic and the Denver Eastern Conference Nuggets.

Cherry playoffs, like so many on top was forcing a others have. cancellation of Giannis While the Bucks Antetokounmpo’s had their star player dreams of a back-toon the court in back title.

Antetokounmpo, the The Miami Heat took team’s second option, the best defensive team Khris Middleton, played in the regular season zero minutes of the and the playoffs to a series matchup against

the Celtics. Similarly, the 2022 Sixth Man of the Year Tyler Herro was too banged up to play consistent minutes for a hobbled Heat team who was dealing with injuries with Jimmy Butler and Kyle Lowry for much of the series.

Morant has had struggles staying on the court this season and missed a total of 25 games while he dealt with injuries.

During that 25-game stretch, the Grizzlies posted a 20-5 record while defeating teams like the Warriors, the Nets, the Suns, the Mavericks and the Heat before resting the team’s starters for the final three games. The Grizzlies’ largest win margin of the playoffs was a 39-point win over the Warriors with Morant resting on the sidelines.

But the path to the finals for these two teams stretches beyond just the impact of these playoffs and this past year’s offseason.

Boston has made trips to the Eastern Conference Finals four out of the last six seasons but have only made it to the finals once. Last season, Boston was a .500-win team, and a first-round

gentlemen sweep in the playoffs.

The Warriors won 15 games during the Covid rattled 20202021 season and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2011. The next season, Curry’s average of 32 points a game propelled him to his second career NBA scoring title while the Warriors got knocked out of the very first NBA Play-In Tournament by Morant and the Grizzlies.

Again, missing the playoffs after making it to five straight NBA finals before 2020.

LEAGUE-ALTERING RAMIFICATIONS Stephen Curry claiming his careerfirst NBA Finals MVP and a fourth NBA title may shift the debate for top 10 all-time NBA plyers drastically.

Furthermore, Lebron James’ recognition as the face of the league and of this generation may take a sucker punch to the jaw as Curry ties him in number of titles in six less years in the league.

The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) is the largest reptile in North America and can exceed 14 feet in length and 1,000 pounds. Known for its prized meat and leather, the species was threatened with extinction due to unregulated harvest during the 1920s, 30s and 40s.

Other states soon followed and, in 1967, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service placed the American alligator on the endangered species list. By 1987, the species was removed from the endangered species list and the alligator population has continued to expand. Its history illustrates an excellent conservation success story.

lic access points to fantastic fisheries – from Lake Eufaula to Miller’s Ferry to the mighty Tombigbee River,” Swanner said, “and anglers often visit the lodges across the Black Belt in search of a trophy bass.

ALEA reminds citizens of CodeRED in observance of National Missing Children’s Day Staff REPORT TPI Staff In observance of National Missing Children’s Day, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) reminded all citizens of the CodeRED system while highlighting the crucial role the public plays when assisting law enforcement in the search for missing children when time is of the essence.

On May 25, 1983, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed the first National Missing Children's Day in memory of Etan Patz, a 6-year-old boy who disappeared from a New York City street corner on May 25, 1979. Each year, the Department of Justice commemorates Missing

championships by a team in NBA history and may bring in a new age of defensive focused basketball to the league. If the Celtics defense slows down the Warriors No. 1 rated offense enough for a title, the current climate of the NBA which focuses on hot offenses and capable shooters may be pushed to the side for a more defensive mindset.

Celtics star Jayson Tatum has been on the cusp of being considered a league superstar and an NBA title may be exactly what he needs to be risen to those heights.

Andrew Wiggins, a former No. 1 overall pick in the draft, could sway some opinions one way or another about his future in Golden State and his legacy as a No. 1 overall pick based on his play in the finals.

With either team’s win of the title, the offseason conversations surrounding team building will focus on the fact that both trios of stars for the Warriors and Celtics were drafted by each team instead of being an orchestrated super team or a generational player leaving one team for a chance at a title with another. NBA front offices are usually concerned with success in the now as opposed to building for the

Children's Day by honoring the heroic and exemplary efforts of agencies, organizations, and individuals across the nation who work to protect children.

The Alabama Fusion Center (AFC), a unit within ALEA’s State Bureau of Investigation, is responsible for issuing Amber Alerts, Emergency Missing Child Alerts, Blue Alerts and Missing and Endangered Person Alerts throughout the state. The Alabama Center for Missing and Exploited Children is organizationally structured within the AFC and serves as a liaison between citizens, private organizations, and law enforcement officials regarding missing and exploited children and

adults.

“As a parent, losing a child is unimaginable, and ambiguous loss is difficult to explain to those who have not experienced it. As law enforcement, we fully understand that time is of the essence when searching for a missing child. Our goal is to bring home safely every child that goes missing, however, the public’s assistance is crucial as everyone can be an extra pair of eyes and ears for officers in their local communities,” said ALEA Secretary Hal Taylor. “Last year on May 25, the Agency launched a new stateof-the-art system known as CodeRED to issue missing person alerts which quickly deliver essential information to citizens throughout Alabama.

“Our Fusion Center has worked diligently to provide citizens with a system that can easily be accessed and offers a variety of methods to deliver time-sensitive information based on the subscriber’s preference,” AFC Director Jay Moseley said. “In the event that your child or loved one goes missing, we encourage you to notify your local law enforcement department immediately.

Tallapoosa County Schools installs new digital display signs

HOVEY

Continued from A1

By WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Reporter

Hovey said. “We said last Tuesday a little tongue and cheek that every vote counts. Well, this race truly shows it does.”

Hovey led by only four votes prior to the counting of provisional ballots Tuesday. Hovey’s strength in Lee County barely held out as the provisional ballots were tallied. Whatley gained two votes in Lee County, according to Merrill, where more than 62 percent of the ballots cast in Senate District 27.

Whatley saw three HOVEY provisional votes to Hovey’s two in Tallapoosa County, following closely to last week’s election results with Whatley’s 70 percent to Hovey’s 30 percent.

Provisional ballots were first signed off on by the Tallapoosa County Board of Registrars. Eleven of 15 provisional ballots were accepted. Of the 11, nine were cast in the Republican primary and two in the Democratic primary.

The Hovey - Whatley race was the first to see most of Alexander City unable to vote in Senate District 27 after redistricting following the 2020 census, a measure Whatley voted for.

Hovey said he was pleased with the results after Tuesday’s certification.

“There is nothing to do [Tuesday] but enjoy,” Hovey said. “We are excited. As to what happens with a possible recount, we will have to wait and see.”

The primaries are party races.

There is no automatic recount for primary races. The state law allows calls for a recount in general elections if the margin is closer than one half of one percent.

Tallapoosa County Schools has installed several new digital display signs this week across the school district’s campuses, providing updated technology for both students and the public.

Deputy Superintendent Casey Davis elloberated, adding that Sign Source, a Ohio-based sign manufacturer, is upgrading signs at two Tallapoosa County schools,

specifically at Horseshoe Bend and Reeltown Elementary School.

The display monitors have seen several iterations with the first signs incorporating sliding plastic letters that the family of Lois P. Benefield donated in 1992 to the school district as a tribute to her memory.

Then in 2008, the school district installed the first digital signs and has continued to incorporate that technology since that time.

“We replaced that with a digital sign, but it was not like the new one. It basically had a red little banner across the screen, but with some of our ESSER funds, we were able to put in the new digital-LED sign,” Davis said.

Alabama received $2 billion total as part of the American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief during the COVID-19 Pandemic, commonly referred to as ESSER.

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

Crank 4 Bank will be putting 200 tagged fish into the waters of Lake Martin for a three month long tagged and virtual fishing event. Registered anglers and amateurs will be able to fish for a tagged bass and a chance at a $1 million cash prize, two new bass boats, new truck and $1500 per tagged bass caught. Crank 4 Bank runs from April 1-July 4, 2022. To be eligible for the tournament prizes, anglers and amateurs must register and pay a $100 entry fee before catching a prizewinning fish. Once registered, a participant can fish April 1, 2022, to July 4, 2022, from boats, banks, or docks for a chance to win. The $100 registration fee also includes entry into the virtual fishing tournament that runs concurrent with Crank4Bank. The virtual tournament is sponsored by Realtree Fishing, Johnson Outdoors, Frogg Toggs and TakleDirect. For contest rules, visit www.Crank4Bank.com.

“We have incorporated aspects of career tech, but we will really be looking at the technology side of things, with students being able to go in and practice and get a good introduction to these things. It’s designed to promote STEM education for our middle-school grades and introduce them to various types of careers,” Ford said.

According to Ford, the facility is scheduled to be fully operational in September as the fall academic semester begins.

Superintendent Ray Porter stressed the versatility of the learning lab and the educational benefits the facility will provide as a mobile classroom.

“We will just be able to hook it up and take it to a site and leave it there for a week or two. That will let teachers utilize the trailer, and then we’ll move it to another location. So it really is going to create an opportunity for STEM exploration around the county,” Porter said.

The project is expected to transition into the construction phase later this summer.

Those funds benefited schools throughout Alabama, including in Tallapoosa County. Davis attributed those funds as the primary source for the technology upgrades.

Both Reeltown and Dadeville High School have had digital display signs for some time. With this addition to Horseshoe Bend and Reeltown Elementary Schools, now all Tallapoosa County Schools have incorporated the technology into their campuses.
