Police Chief Jonathan Floyd Floyd attributed the departinitially proposed the program after ment’s high employee turnover to speaking with various surrounda lack of benefits for police offi-

the community as it allows trust to be built between officers and citizens, which encourages residents to approach officers with issues or emergencies. The city council tabled a vote on the program until their June 28 meeting where they revisited the idea. Among the discussions, the city council specifically expressed concerns regarding additional

insurance liability as well as the maintenance of the vehicles, which are city property. Floyd has continuously tried to ease those concerns by explaining that routine vehicle inspections would be conducted and that the vehicle would be revoked from officers that abuse the policy. The policy, if approved, would likely be implemented later this year, according to Floyd.

COMMUNITY MOURNS PASSING OF DADEVILLE HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER BY WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Reporter

he Dadeville community is remembering the life of Tallapoosa County Schools teacher Linda Blair, who passed away last week. Superintendent Ray Porter and the Tallapoosa County Board of Education extended condolences to Blair’s family Monday following the passing of the Dadeville High School teacher on Thursday, June 23, 2022. “She was an inspiration to the

students she taught and the teachers she worked with at Dadeville High School over the years. Blair will live on in the students she taught. Our thoughts and prayers are with her husband James and their family,” a school’s statement reads in part. Past students and colleagues have shown an outpouring of support to Blair’s family, with many recalling their favorite memories and interactions with the school teacher. Dana Harrelson, a former student, expressed her sadness at the news, and recounts many great memories of

her time in Blair’s class. “I hate to hear this about sweet Mrs. Blair. I had many fun memories of her in class. She was definitely a treasure to Dadeville and all the students that she taught,” Harrelson said. Blair’s kindness extended beyond the classroom as neighbor Elise Williams expressed appreciation for her friendship. “I am blessed to have had the privilege of being her neighbor. She was a sweet soul with a loving spirit,” WilSee TEACHER, Page A2

“I felt it extremely important to have Mrs. Kenney’s vote go through the process,” Whatley said. “She was deposed and cross examined by Mr. Whatley’s attorneys and Mr. Hovey’s attorneys. Her deposition was played to the Steering Committee.

agree to participate through my representative with the terms outlined above, that, in my opinion, offer the best chance for Republican victory in the fall under the current circumstances and decisions.” By Alabama law, the names to be put on the ballot have to be provided to the Secretary of State on July 6. Hovey wants the party to look at the election again based on new evidence. “I have not agreed to a date for a coin flip,” Hovey said. “We filed a motion for a rehearing based on new evidence released by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency not known to either party until after the hearing.” The state Republican party steering committee made a determination to count a previously uncounted provisional ballot from Tallapoosa County. Afterwards, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) issued a statement saying it never registered Patsy Kenney to vote because her driver’s

license application was incomplete. Hovey believes the new evidence would change the committee’s decision. “On rehearing, the Committee should find that the provisional ballot in question was not due to be counted and Hovey’s one-vote victory certified by the [party] chairman in the Senate District 27 primary election should be accepted as correct,” the motion states. The motion restates what ALEA said in its statement about Kenney not completing the driver’s license application due to vision deficits and didn’t sign a voter registration declaration. Hovey said he has not heard from party officials if there will be another hearing. By state law the party must deliver a name to represent the Republican Party in the race for Senate District 27 to the Secretary of State by July 6 to be on the ballot for the November general election.

liams said. Blair sponsored multiple clubs and school trips to Spain and Mexico during her career allowing students and teachers to broaden their horizons and expand their knowledge of the world. Harriet White, a former teacher with the school district, described Blair as a great educator and colleague. “Linda was a joy to work with and always fair to her students. Her calm demeanor and warm smile touched many lives,” White said. There will be a private, family only graveside service on July 1. There will be a visitation on Thursday, June 30, from 5-7 p.m. at Frederick-Dean Funeral Home, located at 1801 Frederick Road in Opelika.

merica, get prepared this weekend and especially on Monday to “batten down the hatches.” We have already began preparing. Our dogs go “crazy” with all the fireworks! What about sick people, what about PTSD suffers, what about people who must sleep, what about babies? Being considerate of others is a thing of the past! July 4 is a time to celebrate, after all, America is 246 years old! We celebrate because the 13 American colonies were declared free from Great Britain. Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence and coincidently died on July 4, 1826. Every July 4th, the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia is tapped 13 times, although not rung - in honor of the 13 colonies. The stars of the original flag were in a circle so all the colonies would appear equal. Thirteen stripes were also added. Let the party begin as Americans gather to watch as the sky illumines to celebrate our nation. Long before our nation was created, an invitation went out to celebrate but this time it was a wedding feast that the king had prepared for his son. The king invited some people to come. When the food and entertainment was ready, the king sent his Jackie Wilbourn, member of Bethel servants to tell the people to come; but Baptist Church, Chaplain with Alabama they refused! After that, the king said to Baptist Disaster Relief Team.

his servants, “the wedding feast is ready. I invited those people, but they were not worthy to come. So, go to the street corners and invite everyone you see. Tell them to come to my feast.” (Matthew 22:2-3, 8-9). This party was to be huge, much like the upcoming celebration on the 4th. The kingdom of Heaven is much like the king who prepared the big celebration. Jesus invites us all into God’s kingdom, like the king invited people to his party. There is not a single person who is worthy to inherit what God has to offer. But God has given everyone an opportunity, through the death and resurrection of his Son, God invites everyone, and He wants you to come but a lot of people say not. They make all kinds of excuses and do not come. Many just give “no” as their answer. When we say yes to the invitation from God, He is very happy. He is overjoyed when people want to come to His kingdom. Do not make excuses, just say yes to God’s invitation. Matthew 22:14 tell that many are called, but few are chosen. Be among the chosen. Have a happy and safe weekend, be considerate of others!

Hospitality leads to more tournaments By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer Alexander City was covered in guests from all over the state this past weekend. Harselle, Thomasville, Gilbertville, Decatur, Daphne, Dempolis, Madison, West Mobile, Monrovia and more were represented by youth softball teams in state tournaments at the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex. One

thing stood out to the 67 teams with numerous players, coaches and family in tow. “They loved our community,” Alexander City Parks and Recreation Director Sonny Wilson said. “We received a ton of compliments. They continuously bragged about how nice everyone from the elected officials, gas station, restaurants, bars, hotels and people they met on the street treated them. This may seem small to

some but it meant the world to these teams.” The tournament could have been as large as 97 teams. “We couldn’t find enough housing,” Wilson said. “We had teams staying in Alex City, Sylacauga, Auburn and Montgomery.” Tyler Sellers is a coach with a team from Gilbertown. “We are staying in Auburn,” Sellers said. “We have between 60 and 80

NO. 14 AUBURN’S SEASON ENDS WITH COLLEGE WORLD SERIES LOSS TO ARKANSAS By JEFF SHEARER Auburn Athletics

icked to finish seventh in the SEC West, the 2022 Auburn Tigers finished tied for fifth nationally, ending their season at the College World Series Tuesday with an 11-1 loss to Arkansas at Charles Schwab Field. “I didn’t want this ride to end,” Auburn coach Butch Thompson said. “Hopefully we’ve stairstepped this program to keep fighting and having a feeling that the best is yet to come.” Bobby Peirce led off the bottom of the seventh with his 10th home run of the season for Auburn’s only run. Peirce, the Tigers’ right fielder, also delivered Auburn’s defensive highlight in the eighth throwing out a runner trying to advance from first to third on a single. Arkansas, which outhit Auburn 16-4, grabbed a 1-0 lead in the top of the first after a leadoff double and an RBI single from the Razorbacks’ first two batters. Auburn starter Mason Barnett (3-3) struck out four batters in the first two innings but ran into trouble in the third when a ball lost in the sun in left field gave the Razorbacks a baserunner and an extra out. Arkansas capitalized to take a 4-0 lead on Chris Lanzilli’s RBI single and Robert Moore’s two-run double, ending Barnett’s outing. John Armstrong recorded the final out of the third but struggled in the fourth, allowing a two-run double to Michael Turner and Lanzilli’s two-run homer that put Ar-

kansas on top 8-0, with seven of those runs coming with two outs. Auburn hitters struggled against Arkansas starter Will McEntire, who faced the minimum through three innings, striking out six consecutive Tigers in the process. McEntire (2-2) struck out nine in seven innings, allowing one run on three hits. “Down the stretch we had to tip our hat to too many starting pitchers,” Thompson said. “They just kept putting the ball in play and good things happened while we were still trying to put the bat on the ball.” Sonny DiChiara’s fourth-inning single represented Auburn’s first hit, but the Tigers were unable to mount their 23rd comeback win of the season. The SEC Co-Player of the Year recorded two of Auburn’s four hits, finishing the season with a .383 batting average. Senior Carson Skipper relieved Armstrong in the fourth and retired the first six Razorbacks he faced before back-to-back two-out hits in the sixth extended the Arkansas lead to 9-0. “It’s an incredible feeling to come to a place of such joy and happiness to the whole college baseball world more than one time,” said Skipper, a freshman on Auburn’s 2019 CWS team. “All that stems from Coach Thompson; great leader, great man, along with all of the other coaches and staff members. Everybody from top to bottom has made such an impact on me.” The Razorbacks added two

more runs in the ninth. Arkansas scored 10 of its 11 runs with two outs. Chase Isbell, Chase Allsup, Carson Swilling and Brooks Fuller finished the game for the Tigers. Auburn pitchers struck out 13, reaching double digits in all three games at the 2022 CWS. Arkansas (45-20) advances to play Ole Miss Wednesday, needing to beat the Rebels twice to reach the championship series. Four of the last five teams competing in Omaha hailed from the SEC West. Auburn (43-22) concludes a memorable season that saw the Tigers post a winning SEC record (16-13), host an NCAA regional for the first time since 2010, win a regional at home for the first time since 1999, win the Corvallis Super Regional, and win a College World Series game for the first time in 25 years. “You can look at pen to paper from the time we’ve been here to this second and see some growth,” said Thompson, completing his seventh season on the Plains. “I absolutely think we are on the cusp of doing amazing things consistently. That’ll be the driving force, trying to leave this program in a better place. “It was a great experience for every one of us. We found a ton of positives out of this season. Our people stepped up to the plate for this team before we ever played a game and I’ll never forget that. I thought we returned the favor at the end of the postseason.” GRAYSON BELANGER | AUBURN ATHLETICS

Auburn’s season came to an end after two losses to Arkansas and Ole Miss in the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. The Tigers finished the year 43-22.

ANDY GRAHAM Columnist

I never thought I'd see the day

here have been a lot of times in my life when I have uttered a phrase like, "I'll never live to see the day when…" only to witness the exact event I was so adamantly sure would never happen. I never thought I would live to see the Red Sox actually win the World Series. Remember the curse of the Bambino and no championship since 1918? I've now seen them win four titles. I definitely never thought I would live to see the Cubs win a World Series and, then, 2016 happened. I could spend an hour listing the bizarre cultural phenomena of our day, but I digress. I used to categorize a litany of Auburn basketball accomplishments under the heading, "Things that will never happen in my lifetime." Of course, that was before Bruce Pearl descended into my life like an Angel from above and resuscitated a program long since dead. I don't use that phrase anymore with anything pertaining to basketball on the Plains. I've learned my lesson. There are no glass ceilings. There is no unattainable goal. There are no unrealistic expectations. Bruce Pearl has been directly responsible for so many first-time plateaus with Auburn basketball and yet another happened last week. Jabari Smith Jr was taken with the No. 3 pick in the NBA draft. That is the highest for any player in Tiger history. Granted, most of the credit goes to Smith for his incredible talent and impeccable work ethic, but Pearl recognized his talent at an early age and recruited him to the Plains. Walker Kessler was also taken with the No. 22 pick which marks the first time Auburn has had two players taken in the 1st round of the same NBA draft. This is a tremendous feat and will be used as a powerful recruiting tool in the near future. Historically, the Tigers have had 16 players drafted in the first two rounds. Ten were taken in between 1960 and 2018 and the other six have been in the last four years under Pearl. To be perfectly honest, I don't watch a lot of NBA basketball these days. I actually lost interest more than a decade ago, but with all the Tigers in the league I may have to reevaluate. Jabari Smith went to the Rockets who stunk last year pretty bad. However, adding Smith, Tari Eason from LSU and Ty Ty Washington from Kentucky will do wonders for their roster. Most pundits believe they had the best draft in the entire league. I believe Jabari will be a better player in the NBA that he was in college. His game is better suited to the professional level. Walker Kessler was drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies, but immediately traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Again, I know less than nothing about the T-Wolves. I know they made the playoffs this past year and lost in the 1st round. Kessler will be an asset simply for his ability to guard the rim and block shots, but he needs some time to develop his offensive game. If he can do that, he can have a long and productive career. Auburn has won two SEC regular-season titles, one SEC tournament title and made a trip to the Final Four in the last four years. The Jungle is considered one of the best home environments and all of college basketball and the program's reputation continues to be bolstered year after year. I never thought I… Nevermind.

The U.S. Department of Education releases proposed changes to Title IX Staff report TPI Staff In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Title IX — the landmark civil rights law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school or any other education program that receives funding from the federal government — the U.S. Department of Education released proposed changes to the regulations that help elementary schools, secondary schools, colleges and universities implement this legislation. The proposed amendments will solidify protections for students who are victims of sexual harassment, assault and sex-based discrimination. According to a statement released by the U.S. Department of Education, the proposed regulations will “advance educational equity and opportunity for women and girls across the country to ensure that every student in America, from kindergarten through a doctorate degree, can achieve her dreams.” “Over the last 50 years, Title IX has paved the way for millions of girls and women to access equal opportunity in our nation’s schools and has been instrumental in combating sexual assault and sexual violence in educational settings,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona. “As we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of this landmark law, our proposed changes will allow us to continue that progress and ensure all our nation’s students – no matter where they live, who they are, or whom they love – can learn, grow, and thrive in school. We welcome public comment on these critical regulations so we can

further the Biden-Harris Administration’s mission of creating educational environments free from sex discrimination and sexual violence.” The proposed regulations, according to the statement, will “advance Title IX’s goal of ensuring that no person experiences sex discrimination, sex-based harassment, or sexual violence in education.” The proposed regulations will also offer protections for LGBTQI+ students who face discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. They will also require that school procedures for complaints of sex discrimination, including sexual violence and other sex-based harassment, are fair to all involved. The proposed regulations would: Clearly protect students and employees from all forms of sex discrimination, provide full protection from sex-based harassment, protect the right of parents and guardians to support their elementary and secondary school children, require schools to take prompt and effective action to end any sex discrimination in their education programs or activities — and to prevent its recurrence and remedy its effects, protect students and employees who are pregnant or have pregnancy-related conditions, require schools to respond promptly to all complaints of sex discrimination with a fair and reliable process that includes trained, unbiased decisionmakers to evaluate the evidence, require schools to provide supportive measures to students and employees affected by conduct that See TITLE IX, Page A12

idea if the city could procure the funds to take on such a restoration project. “Great idea if they have the money to restore it. Our young teenagers and older ones desperately need somewhere to go hang out and be safe,” Davis said. Chris Michaels sided with the demolition of the buildings, suggesting new facilities be constructed. “Tear down the raggedy court house and build a new one over at the Sport Plex. Give the area to the fire department or use it for festival parking,” he said. Jackie Bennett recommended the city utilizes its historic value and transform the buildings into a museum similar to Monroe County, which has made its courthouse into a gallery showcasing the lives and careers of residents Harper Lee and Truman Capote. “How about turning our old city hall into a museum highlighting the history of Lake Martin and Russell Mills, and star-

ring Hank Williams in the old jail,” Bennett said. However, costs are the biggest prohibitive factor. Community development director Al Jones said the city could get a historic preservation grant but it would only amount to $50,000, far short of what would be needed. Jones said there are other grants but again fall far short of what is needed to renovate the buildings and those grants are currently being used elsewhere in the city. Another issue is that many of the water lines in downtown are also nearly 100 years old and failed to supply water during the fire at the church a year ago. The city will hold more meetings in the coming weeks before making a decision on what to do. The city is accepting comments and emails on the buildings until 5 p.m. July 1 through its website at alexandercityal.gov or by email at cityclerk@ alexandercityal.gov.

First Baptist of Dadeville to hold summer movie nights By WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Reporter The First Baptist Church of Dadeville will begin hosting summer move nights next month as a fun family activity for all residents to enjoy. Jim Cahoon, who is helping organize the events, added that the initiative is to provide more fun venues for the community’s children. “We’re having an outdoor movie on a big screen, and will be basically kids movies, Disney and things of that nature,” he said. The movie screening will be held on the first Friday during the months of July and August.

The Dadeville Record

Gas prices decrease slightly Staff report TPI Staff Average gasoline prices in Alabama have fallen 9.0 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $4.48 per gallon today, according to GasBuddy's survey of 3,348 stations in Alabama. Prices in Alabama are 19.7 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand $1.68 per gallon higher than a year ago. The price of diesel has risen 2.6 cents nationally in the past week and stands at $5.80 per gallon. According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Alabama was priced at $4.06 per gallon yesterday while the most expensive was $4.96 per gallon, a difference of 90.0 cents per gallon. The lowest price in the state yesterday was $4.06 per gallon while the highest was $4.96 per gallon, a difference of 90.0 cents per gallon. The national average price of gasoline has fallen 8.8 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $4.88 per gallon today. The national average is up 28.3 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands $1.79 per gallon higher than a year ago, according to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 11 million weekly price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country. Historical gasoline prices in Alabama and the national average going back ten years: June 27, 2021: $2.79 per gallon (U.S. Average: $3.09 per gallon)

"With Independence Day a week away, gas prices have continued to fall for the second straight week as the price of oil has faltered, ushering in the drop we're seeing. The good news is we could also see a third straight week of decline." — Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy

"With Independence Day a week away, gas prices have continued to fall for the second straight week as the price of oil has faltered, ushering in the drop we're seeing. The good news is we could also see a third straight week of decline," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "While prices will be at their highest July 4th level ever, they'll have fallen close to 20 cents since our peak in early June. Motorists should be wary that while the decline could continue for the week ahead, any sudden jolts to supply could quickly cause a turnaround, and risk remains that when the peak of hurricane season arrives, we could see a super spike at the pump." GasBuddy is a voice for gas prices and the only source for station-level data spanning nearly two decades. Unlike AAA's once daily survey and the Lundberg Survey, updated once every two weeks based on a small fraction of U.S. gasoline stations, GasBuddy's survey updates 288 times every day from the most diverse list of sources covering nearly 150,000 stations nationwide, the most comprehensive and up-to-date in the country.
