Small town girl seeks big time office Britt campaigning for votes in the US Senate race

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer Katie Britt has never held a political office, but she is no stranger to politics — even Washington D.C. politics.

Britt is seeking to replace Alabama’s senior U.S. Senator Richard Shelby. She vows to remember her small town roots of Enterprise

and Coffee County and never back down from her values if elected.

“The most important things in life are faith, family and freedom,” Britt said while campaigning in Tallapoosa County this week. “I grew up going to the tiny church my great grandparents started and my parents still attend.”

Britt went to the University of Alabama

and served as SGA president and then went to Washington to work in Shelby’s office. Britt returned to Alabama to go to law school and was a practicing attorney before helping Shelby in his last campaign. She stayed with Shelby, joining his team in Washington as Chief of Staff before returning to her roots to lead the Business Council of

Alabama (BCA) in 2019.

Britt said her parents’ work ethic rubbed off on her.

“Both of my parents are small business owners,” Britt said. “They really instilled the value of hard work and I think we are missing that right now in this country and missing what the American dream

Gov. Kay Ivey dedicates Sylacauga memorial honoring local veterans

Tallassee High School junior Jake Sharpe was wondering if his timing was right for an Eagle Scout project.

Afterall the COVID-19 pandemic was closing the door on projectbased opportunities for to achieve the highest of ranks in the Scouts BSA. “I called countless places — animal shelters, homeless shelters, food banks, and 90 percent I didn’t get a call back,” Sharpe said. “There was just nobody. Then those I did get calls back from, they said they

weren’t taking volunteers.”

Sharpe’s mother Tara said it took a little push from her to find something else to meet the Eagle Scout project requirements.

“It was difficult — hardly anyone was letting in volunteers,” Tara said.

“Other projects he tried to start, got canceled. He was like, ‘Is this even the time?’ I was like, ‘You let it sit and it will sit forever.’”

Some organizations said Jake could volunteer, but that wouldn’t work.

ranks, there are plenty of service hours that you have do and more,” Jake said. “The project is a dedicated thing that you do to prove that you are a leader of a group of people.”

Striking out elsewhere, Jake quickly realized a project under his nose in the halls of Tallassee High School — a classroom facelift for Spanish teacher Cayla Baker.

“They were in the process of tearing down the old building and they had just let that building know they were not going to be renovated,” Tara said. “It was kind of a double whammy. They thought they were going to get this new building

and then it was like, no sorry you’re not. Jake was like I got you.”

Jake put together a team and ‘Project Classroom Facelift’ started.

“I took it upon myself to fix the cracks, fix the holes,” Jake said. “We painted it and reorganized all the stuff. There were some shelves that go back to when it was a kindergarten room in 1956. We got all the gum up.”

The Scouting Start Jake’s scouting adventure almost didn’t happen, but Jake was seven and wanted to play with his friend, Jacob Hutto, who was involved in Cub Scouts.

“He was an inside kind of kid,” Tara said. “I was like OK, but he really loved his friend and

wanted to play together.

Jacob was busy with scouting, so for Jake to play with Jacob, he had to go to scouts.”

After a couple of years in Cub Scouts, Jake made a decision to stick with scouting.

“After I got to Boy Scouts I realized Cub Scouts is not really a good representation of what scouting really is,” Jake said. “Where I really learned about what scouting is at a camp, a week long summer camp called Woodlore Camping School. I learned so much about myself and leadership there. It changed my life.”

Jake’s mother questioned dropping him off for the weeklong summer camp, something Jake hadn’t yet

experienced.

“When you dropped them off, they had a twoand-half mile walk with all their equipment — they had to carry it all,” Tara said. “It rained for the first four days.

Jake quickly added, “Monsoon.”

From there Jake had to use his knowledge of knots and other skills acquired in scouting to build tents from tarps and ropes. Jake had a chance to wave the white flag on the next to last day of Woodlore.

“They had a family day on Saturday and I was begging them to take me home, but they were like, ‘Just one more night and stick through it,’” Jake said. “Looking back, I’m so glad I made it through.”

Tara noticed a difference in Jake after the rain soaked weeklong camp.

“He came back a different kid,” Tara said.

“He realized it was a personal choice to not raise the white flag and say, ‘Mommy, come get me. My feet are wet. My clothes are wet.’”

Even if Woodlore might have scared Jake from scouting, the camp instilled some important skills.

“He earned his personal responsibility check in his heart, like if I can

get through this, I can get through anything,” Tara said. “It was perfect timing for junior high.”

Jake has not only succeeded in Scouts BSA. He is on the Tallassee High School Scholars Bowl team and holds one of the highest GPAs in his class at 4.3. Only a junior, Jake already has an idea of what to do after high school.

“I would like to go to Auburn or Alabama,” Jake said. “I really enjoy computers and really enjoy the engineering field.”

is built on. That dream is you can roll up your sleeves and work hard and do better than those before you.”

Britt said there is now a culture of taking a hand out with the government giving instead of relying on “the good Lord and hard work to make ends meet.”

“It is something that will ruin this country,” Britt said. “We have to stand up against it.”

Britt said her grandfather taught her a lesson that has already worked in her time as SGA president, walking the halls of the U.S. Capitol with Shelby and heading the BCA. “He said, ‘Don’t be intimidated by where somebody is from or what their parents do or what’s in their bank account. The things that will determine your path in life are your character, your integrity, your work ethic and the way you treat people.

I have good news for you, you control all four of those things,’” Britt said. “I promise you I will keep my head down and work hard and make you proud.”

Britt campaigned in the area Tuesday visiting the Tallapoosa County Girl’s Ranch, the Tallapoosa County Courthouse, Elmers, Whippoorwill Vineyards and Russell Medical. She also visited with businesses and first responders.

Growing up just outside the gates of Ft. Rucker, Britt said freedom has a price.

“I saw day in and day out the sacrifices of our service men and women,” Britt said. “You realize really quickly when you sit next to their kids in class, when their parents are gone for months on end and some of the parents don’t have the opportunity to return home, their sacrifice is that of the entire family.”

Britt said she learned after taking over the BCA she needed to ask better questions during the

The agreement allows students to transfer directly to Troy even if they take a couple years off after getting an associate degree.

“It is an agreement to encourage them to get their education or continue their education regardless of what stage of life they are at,” White said. “The two year degree is a direct

interview. But is still proud she could navigate the “chess game,” ultimately bringing small business to the table at the BCA. She resigned from her position earlier this year to campaign. Britt believes the skills she refined at the BCA would help her in Washington.

“Coming into that environment where there was division, you have to lead in a way that allows others to follow you,” Britt said. “You have to be passionate and stand firm on your principles and bring people to the table to create resolution to actually move the needle.”

Britt wants mental health to be taken seriously along with substance abuse.

Education also plays a big role into improving issues for Alabamians. Britt said if a child is not reading at grade level by third grade they are four times less likely to graduate from high school.

She said non-high school graduates’ chance of being arrested goes up five times and most on welfare did not graduate high school.

“That tells you our 8-year olds deserve better and that is not on them, that is on us,” Britt said. “I

White and Lynn said the agreement can possibly help with current teacher shortage. White said the leadership skills developed by those who have worked and served in the military can translate to a teaching career.

“They haven’t necessarily thought about teaching,” White said.

“It seems to me there are more teachers coming out of the community college system or at least got their start in the community college system. Now they can go to Troy with this articulation agreement and become a teacher

I want a country where we teach our children everyday, that they live in the greatest nation in the world.”

Wesley Britt has been a best friend to Katie for the last 21 years and her husband for the last 14. They have two children. Wesley is a former University of Alabama and New England Patriots offensive lineman but realizes his wife has skills he doesn’t — skills he believes would be valuable in Washington.

“Her heart and passion for people is just incredible,” Wesley said. “I have never seen anybody on top of that to get things done, to always get results no matter what the issue is at hand.

“I know I married a Tom Brady and we have to put her in. She is a big girl, tougher than me.”

Britt’s name will be on the Republican primary ballot in May for U.S. Senator along with Lynda Blanchard, U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville), Mike Dunn, Michael Durant, Jake Schafer and Jessica Taylor. Brandaun Dean is seeking the seat as a Democrat.

Lynn believes the agreement will help keep young people in the area.

Lynn said those high school graduates who work in the community after high school tend to stay in their communities.

“We are hoping this will encourage students to go and get their four year degree and come back,” Lynn said. “They can come back to the community as teachers and more.”

Growing up with PBS

By CARMEN RODGERS

L

et’s talk about the Public Broadcasting Station for a second.

The station that brought us Sesame Street, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Reading Rainbow and so many more.

Growing up, we didn’t have cable and if the rooftop antennae wouldn’t pick it up, we couldn’t tune it in.

I may have missed out on cable service, but the airwaves that the antenna did pick up were pure gold.

Fun fact, I share a birthday with Sesame Street. Though it first aired many years before I was born, we both made our debut on Nov. 10. That’s right… happy birthday to us!

Sesame Street was my favorite PBS show to watch. And today, we can take some lessons from the show. Sesame Street embraced each character’s differences. It’s what made the show so great. Imagine if it were a cast of all Big Birds. That would be so boring. Nothing against Big Bird, I adore that tall yellow fellow.

The characters are modeled after all different types of personalities. I think I identify with Elmo on most days, Big Bird on others, and Oscar on those tough days.

As a kid, when I was absent from school the only television station that I was allowed to watch was PBS. Probably because soap operas or bad talk shows filled most of the other airwaves back then, and remember, we didn’t have cable.

In fact, I am about to really show my age. I was in the 6th grade when we got our first VCR. Then we could at least rent movies. That was an upgrade. My brother and I got it for Christmas, along with a fresh cut version of Crocodile Dundee, courtesy of Santa Claus.

But before the VCR, and after it, for the most part, we depended on that rooftop antenna for programming.

And I think that is literally what it was doing, programming us as we watched… especially as children.

I am thankful I was able to watch PBS programming. I think it has helped me navigate life in many aspects. Not only intellectually, but overall. Not only did the television shows the broadcasting company aired teach positive social skills, but it also taught a lot of real-life of skills.

So, here’s to PBS and the informative programing it offers. If you haven’t lately, check it out!

Remembering Judge Bobby Aderholt Our

A

labama has a legacy of great men who have served as judges in our state. Recently, revered, retired, Circuit Judge Bobby Ray Aderholt of Haleyville passed away at 85.

He served the public for more than 50 years. As a judge, he presided over each case with integrity and impartiality. He was the Circuit Judge for the 25th Judicial Circuit for 30-years, 1977-2007. He was first elected Circuit Judge in 1976. He would have continued serving the people of Winston and Marion counties if it were not for an antiquated law in Alabama that judges cannot not run for office after age 70.

When Judge Aderholt first ran in 1976, he bucked a Democratic tidal wave in the state and was the only Republican elected in North Alabama that year. Our state had been overwhelmingly Democratic from the 1870’s through 1964 because of the aftermath of the Civil War and Reconstruction. However, there was one area of the state that never bought into the Southern Secession from the Union. The folks in Northwest Alabama did not own slaves and figured they did not need to fight a war over slavery for the rich planters of the Black Belt. Therefore, when Alabama seceded from the Union, Winston County seceded from Alabama. Thus, Winston County became the Free State of Winston. During the 1884 to 1964, 80-year period, every statewide elected official in Alabama was a Democrat and also every local and legislative officeholder ran as a Democrat with the exception of one county – Winston had Republican

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist officeholders.

In fact, legendary U.S. Federal Judge, Frank Johnson, Jr. was a Republican from Winston County. When a federal judgeship came open in the Middle District of Alabama in the early 1950’s, President Dwight Eisenhower had a hard time finding a Republican to appoint. He chose young Frank Johnson, Jr. The Republican party broke the ice in 1964. Alabama voted straight Republican for Barry Goldwater and the wave carried five Republican congressmen with him. Alabama had become a red Republican state. However, we still elected Democrats to local offices like legislator and circuit judge. 1976 was a blip with Jimmy Carter carrying Alabama and the Deep South due to the post-Watergate fallout.

Judge Bobby Aderholt was always a Republican, so he ran as a Republican that year and won. He was on an island with no other Republican winning in North Alabama. He became a pioneer in the Alabama Republican Party and one of the most respected judges in the state. He was known as fair, fiercely independent and not beholden to anyone. He had a brilliant legal mind but most importantly he always had compassion for all individuals and treated everyone in his courtroom with dignity and respect. In conjunction with his

judicial duties, he performed countless weddings and funerals in his beloved neck of the woods.

Judge Aderholt was born in December of 1935 and grew up in Winston County. He went to undergraduate school at Birmingham Southern and went to Law School at the University of Alabama. He matriculated back home to Haleyville where he had graduated high school in 1954. He spent his life in Haleyville. He was a dedicated member of the First Baptist Church of Haleyville.

However, he pastored Fairview Congregational Church in Hackleburg for 47 years.

Judge Bobby Aderholt was a dedicated family man. He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Mary Frances Brown Aderholt, who was his childhood sweetheart.

Judge Aderholt is the father of our senior congressman Robert Aderholt. Robert is the only child of Judge and Mrs. Mary Frances Aderholt. They raised a good one. Robert was elected to Congress in 1996 at the ripe old age of 31. He is in his 25th year of representing the 4th Congressional District of Alabama and is the Dean of our congressional delegation.

Robert and his wife, Caroline McDonald Aderholt, have two children, Mary Elliott and Robert Hayes.

Judge Bobby Aderholt was a good man. We will all miss him. I will miss him as a reader of my column. He read it every week, religiously in the Marion County Journal Record and the Northwest Alabamian.

Richt was named the University of Georgia’s head coach at the same time I came to the state, and saw my first Bulldog game (a win). In fact, for the next 15 years, I saw only wins at Sanford Stadium (and one loss in the Georgia Dome).

Coach Richt won nearly threequarters of his games coached (not sure if these included bowl wins, which numbered ten), having to contend with Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Phil Fulmer, Tommy Tuberville, Gus Malzahn, Steve Spurrier and Lou Holtz. The easiest SEC game might be against a James Franklin-coached Vanderbilt or a Rich Brooks-coached Kentucky.

And yet he won two SEC Titles and Five SEC East Titles.

He’s won the SEC and ACC Coach of the year, as well as the Walter Camp Award for Coach of the Year.

Coach Richt wasn’t afraid to give second chances to a

A Coach Who Did It The ‘Richt’ Way

anford Stadium was quite a scene on the first Saturday afternoon in November.

The place was packed with Dawg fans, eager to cheer on their Number One ranked University of Georgia Bulldogs, leading the NCAA football polls. But those decked in red and black reserved some of their loudest cheers for a man who put his stamp on the program, not so much for the winning percentage as for the values he imparted on his players and those who came to a part of, or a fan of, the program.

I had come to the game, a guest of our recently retired and much beloved Psychology Professor Chuck Kraemer, who won me over the UGA before the Auburn and Alabama and Georgia Tech folks could get to me. Of course, I like a good SEC game as much as anyone else, and Georgia was ready to tangle with the Missouri Tigers that chilly afternoon, something the tailgaters would dub “football weather.” But I also wanted to see Mark Richt honored.

While I was a Florida State University doctoral student, Richt was the Seminoles’ offensive coordinator. We got to meet players who were doing their best to compensate for the earlier behavior of those who might have seen classes as an option. Were I allowed, I would share stories with you about some players of Richt’s (and

struggling player or two, but he could also dismiss or suspend top-notch talent for rule breaking or serious violations. He could even be criticized for caring more about values than wins, despite his great record. And, because he would make such high profile cuts, some fans of other schools attached Georgia’s record, calling the school “Thugga” while some of their own universities were sweeping their own problems under the rug, instead of employing discipline.

I was fortunate enough to see him underneath the stadium.

He told me about his wife’s college accomplishments, instead of bragging about his own successes. And yes, he agreed to a selfie.

Because Richt was fired to make way for Kirby Smart, I wasn’t sure how he would be received. The ovation the crowd gave their former coach seemed stronger than what other schools might give a coach that won a National Championship, but left with some degree of bad blood.

It really resembled the ending of a great sports movie, where someone might add “he did it the right way.”

CACC’s Coosa Valley School of Nursing celebrates 100 years STAFF REPORT TPI Staff This year Central Alabama Community College celebrates the 100th year of the Coosa Valley School of Nursing, educating and training nursing students.

Established upon the Sylacauga Infirmary’s opening in 1921, the nursing training program has spent the last 100 years trying to reach the healthcare needs of the community.

“Over the last 100 years, healthcare has changed dramatically,” health science program administrator Dr. Jennifer Steele said. “With the American population exploding post-World War II and the lifespan lengthening, healthcare must answer the call to care for a growing aging population. As a profession, nursing is also experiencing an exodus of older nurses from the bedside and the classroom. Now more than ever, it is important to nursing education to prepare the nurses of the future to meet healthcare

demands.”

The Coosa Valley School of Nursing works in partnership with its healthcare affiliates.

While the nursing program began as a means to provide nurses for the mill workers and their families, ultimately, Coosa Valley Medical Center became the home base for the program before it transitioned to Central Alabama Community College in 1995.

“We are so proud of the work that CACC is doing with their [school of nursing],” Coosa Valley Medical Center chief nursing/operating officer Amy Price said.

“This program is built on a strong tradition of excellence and is the main pipeline for the future of nursing here at CVMC. We are proud of the work Jeff Lynn and Dr. Steele are doing to produce high quality nursing graduates and we value our partnership with them.”

Glen Sisk, Coosa Valley president and CEO, also highlights the strong relationship

that exists between the nursing program and Coosa Valley Medical Center.

“Coosa Valley Medical Center has maintained a longstanding relationship with the Central Alabama Community College School of Nursing dating back to the early 1950s,” Sisk said. “The program has produced competent, caring LPNs and RNs for decades that have been the cornerstone of caring for CVMC and the patients our organization serves.

There are few higher professional callings than a commitment to meet people at their point of need at the bedside. Our region is very fortunate to realize the many benefits that the CACC School of Nursing produces, but most especially the impact their graduates have on lives every day.”

Russell Medical Center in Alexander City is another partner of Coosa Valley School of Nursing.

“Russell Medical is blessed to have had such

a close relationship with Central Alabama School of Nursing program for many years,” Russell Medical president and CEO Jim Peace said.

“It is through that long relationship that many of our leaders today are created with earning their education. To have such a devoted and committed nursing program in our area is priceless. Thank you for growing our caregivers of today and the future.”

Other essential partnerships exist with long-term care communities, including Schmidt Wallace Healthcare and Prime Management.

“The CACC nursing program has provided skilled and qualified nurses to provide care and attention to our medically compromised residents,” Schmidt Wallace Healthcare owner Christopher Schmidt said. “The quality of their graduates has encouraged us to [provide a] scholarship [to] many nurses to attend CACC with great success.”

More county roads to be improved

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer Two Tallapoosa County roads will see new pavement in the next year.

Tallapoosa County engineer David Moore is happy to hear a few of the more than 700 miles of county road getting some much needed help.

“We have received notice we have received grant funding for some road improvements,” Moore said. “We are very thankful for these. The first is a state grant through [Alabama Department of Transportation.] It will be to patch and resurface Camp ASCCA Road. It is in dire need.”

Moore said the county is expected to receive between $350,000 and $400,000 for the work.

Camp ASCCA Road is off of Rock Springs Road leading to Alabama’s Special Camp for Children and Adults. Thousands of children and teenagers travel the road with parents and guardians every year to get a summer camp experience. The road also has many residents.

Currently, Camp ASCCA Road is riddled with potholes.

“We haven’t got the exact number yet on funding but it’s much needed,” Moore said.

Tallapoosa County is also receiving federal funds for work on county roads.

“It’s like we received for County Road 34 East,” Moore said. “This would be to widen the shoulders and do some shoulder safety work on Pearson Chapel

Road to help prevent accidents.”

Moore said the county should receive close to $850,000 in federal monies.

“That is federal funds and will have to be matched with local money,” Moore said. “We have some local monies available for that match.”

Moore said the projects funded with federal funds meet special

qualifications such as traffic flow and being considered a connector road. The two projects mean more roadwork is being done with funding from outside of Tallapoosa County.

“We are excited about those projects,” Moore said. “It is the fourth award in the last couple of years. Hopefully work will be done during 2022.”

CACC president Jeff Lynn praised the program’s healthcare partnerships.

“We understand and appreciate the importance of our healthcare professionals maybe more than ever with what we all have endured with the

COVID-19 pandemic,” Lynn said. “We have strong partnerships with our healthcare providers throughout our service area, and we are dedicated to the continuation of outstanding healthcare education here at CACC.”

The Dadeville Record

A United States Veteran is a man or woman who has served the USA in military service with the Armed Forces. Every year on November 11, we honor these brave men and women. Unlike Memorial Day which is a holiday to honor soldiers who have died in service or battle, it celebrates all military personnel, both retired and active. Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day and was the celebration of the end of World War I. Before the war officially ended with the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919, all combat ended with a ceasefire on November 11, 1918, at 11:00 a.m. This armistice between the Allied troops and Germany became known as the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month and was made an official legal holiday. On November 8, 1954, the holiday was officially changed to Veterans Day honoring all Veterans. Similar celebrations honoring the end of World War I are still held in other Countries, such as Remembrance Day, Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday. On this day, take the time to thank someone who has served our Country. The day is honored in Canada and is called DR KIDZ Remembrance Day. This year Veterans Day will be observed on Thursday, November 11, 2021.

members needs desperately to hear.

Another of these mighty deeds is the prophetic message. The ministry of the Prophet is still a valid ministry today in the twentieth century Church of Grace. The true Prophets of the early church were silenced by Satan’s minions, but the day of revival of the powerful voice of God’s true Prophets is now with us once again.

The revival of these dynamic ministries of speaking in other tongues, the interpretation of tongues and prophesying to your church are three of the most powerful and dynamic ministries of the first century church.

If it is burning in your heart and spirit to be used of God to help revive the Church of Jesus Christ, ask Father God to show you exactly what you can do to be an instrument of revival in your church.

Pediatric Associates now vaccinating 5- to 11-year-olds for COVID-19

By SIRI HEDREEN Multimedia Reporter Pediatric Associates of Alexander City is now offering the COVID-19 vaccine for patients ages 5 and up after receiving its first shipment of the smaller doses Monday.

As of last week, the COVID-19 vaccine is now recommended for

elementary school-aged children by the CDC, following the Food and Drug Administration’s recent approval for emergency use of the Pfizer vaccine for ages 5 to 11.

Pediatric Associates special projects coordinator Justin Moseley said the practice, with clinics in

Alex City and Kellyton, has already vaccinated about 300 local children aged 12 to 17, who have been eligible for the Pfizer vaccine since May. “We definitely gave a lot of it — I guess compared to other clinics — on [ages] 12 and up so we’re hoping for a good turnout with the 5-

to 11-year-olds,” he said.

“We’ll schedule clinics according to demand.”

Moseley said the practice had yet to schedule any vaccine clinics as of Monday but planned to do so during the week. While children do not have to be patients of Pediatric Associates to receive the COVID19 vaccine, Moseley

recommends they check with their own provider.

“We strongly encourage everyone to use their medical home, so if they have a medical provider who’s offering it, we encourage them to go there,” he said.

As of last week, 42.6 percent of Tallapoosa County residents are fully vaccinated for

COVID-19, compared to 45.1 percent statewide, according to Alabama Department of Public Health data. While minors are not broken down by age group, fewer than 10 percent of Tallapoosa County children age 0-17 have received their first COVID-19 vaccine dose.

It’s a good time to check the smoke detectors in your home

By CARMEN RODGERS BUREAU CHIEF Daylight savings time ended this weekend. Now that those clocks have been reset, it is a good time to check the smoke detectors in your home as well.

The Red Cross responds to 27% more home fires in November-March than in warmer months.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, home fires are most common in cooler months when people spend more time inside, and cooking and heating equipment are the leading causes of these

crises.

“Every day, people’s lives are devastated by home fires — a threat that’s increasing as winter approaches,” said Damon Summers, Regional Disaster Officer. “Help keep your family safe now by testing your smoke alarms and practicing your two-minute fire escape drill.”

It is a good time to test your smoke alarms and practice your two-minute home fire escape drill. A two-minute fire escape plan is important because that is the amount of time that experts say you may have to get out before it’s too

late.

It is also a good time to teach children what a smoke alarm sounds like and talk to them about fire safety and what to do in an emergency.

It’s best to place smoke alarms on each level of the home, including inside and outside the bedrooms and sleeping areas.

Test alarms monthly and change the batteries at least once a year, if your model requires it.

Check the manufacturer’s date of your smoke alarms.

If detectors are more than 10 years, they should be replaced

because components such batteries can become less reliable. Follow your alarm’s manufacturer instructions.

Be sure to include at least two ways to exit every room in your home in your fire escape plan.

Before an emergency, select a location to meet at a safe distance away from your home, such as your neighbor’s home or landmark like a specific tree in your front yard, where everyone knows to meet.

Tailor your escape plan to everyone’s needs in your household. If you are deaf or

hard of hearing, install strobe light and bed-shaker alarms to help alert you to a fire.

When practicing your plan, include any devices or people that can help you to get out safely.

If you cannot afford to purchase smoke alarms or are physically unable to install one, the Red Cross may be able to help. Contact your local Red Cross for help.

Due to COVID-19 safety guidelines, smoke alarm installations are limited to where they’re safe to do so.

Creation Plantation playground poses safety hazard, building inspector warns

By SIRI HEDREEN Multimedia Reporter Something’s rotten at the Creation Plantation, forcing the City of Dadeville to ask its parks and recreation department to close the Keebler Park playground temporarily.

Dadeville mayor Jimmy “Frank” Goodman directed parks and rec director

Scott Baker to close off the park at Tuesday’s council meeting, until a safety hazard has been corrected; however, as of Wednesday morning the playground and monkey bars remained accessible to the public.

City building inspector J.D. Ayers had brought the concern to the mayor and council Tuesday, explaining the wooden beam from which the

Apply by Responding to Our Job Postings on Indeed.com

monkey bar swings hang is loose and needs replacement.

“The boards are kind of rotting at the bottom so they’ve lost their strength,” Ayers told the mayor and city council.

“It’s kind of wobbly.

And a heavy person or something or other could break it down, possibly.

So, I recommend maybe we take them down or something.”

Recruiting Top Quality Healthcare Professionals

According to Ayers, the whole playground, constructed almost entirely of wood, may be due a more thorough inspection.

“The whole place is getting kind of old. It’s starting to get kind of weak in places,” he said.

“There’s two of them.

And they’re real wobbly so somebody getting on there could turn them loose and somebody

could fall.”

Earlier this year, the similarly designed Imagination Station at the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex in Alexander City was torched by the fire department due to rotten wood that had failed inspection. The Funtastic Fort in east Tallassee went up in flame in October. Both are being replaced.

Goodman called for

further inspection of the Creation Plantation by the parks and rec department Tuesday.

“We don’t need anyone hurt over there,” he said.

“Check the rest of the boards, if the rest of the boards have gotten old and rotten. Let’s replace everything that needs replacing there. But for now, tomorrow, let’s close the park until we get all this taken care of.”

IT’S TIME FOR FALL FUN, IS YOUR HEART HEALTHY? Fall is here, but in Alabama, there’s still plenty of outdoor living left to enjoy.

Make sure your heart is healthy and ready for the season with an appointment at the UAB Heart & Vascular Clinic at Russell Medical.

DADEVILLE GIRLS BASKETBALL LEARNING ON THE FLY ENTERING

SEASON OPENER

By ANDY ANDERS Regional Sports Director The turnaround between volleyball and basketball season is a short one.

Many of Dadeville’s best female athletes play both sports, and after a volleyball season in which the Tigers lost just three matches, their focus shifted to basketball only a few weeks before their season opener at Elmore County Nov. 15.

Still, Dadeville coach Pam Holloway has confidence in the team she has.

“It’s a good group of young ladies, and they’ve done the things I asked them to do as far as their grades, as far as working together and as far as trying to have a more successful season than we’ve had in the past,” Holloway said.

The 2020-21 season was a disappointment for Dadeville by most accounts.

After winning its second game of the season, the Tigers lost seven straight to finish the campaign 1-8.

Team chemistry has improved from this year to last, Holloway noted, and with a number of key players gaining experience it could pay dividends for Dadeville.

“I feel like they’re actually working more together this year to begin with, trying to have a better mindset and a better work ethic for this year,” Holloway said.

Holloway hasn’t had the benefit of assistant coaches in years past, but this year she went out and recruited some help.

Dr. Sheniqua Banks, a former star player for her at Dadeville, has returned to help set the team on the right course.

“She can shed a lot of light on the expectations that she had as a player and going to school here, because she’s a graduate from here,” Holloway said.

There’s a plethora of players returning from last season in both the front- and backcourt. Guard Deasia Doss was the only graduate from last year’s team.

Seniors Natori Giles and Nhylee Banks should share point guard duties for the Tigers. Junior D’aja Caldwell, junior Jazelle Morgan, senior Janiya Wyckoff and sophomore Izeriyah Wyckoff should all be factors at forward.

Still, with just a few weeks of practice under their belt, Holloway doesn’t know yet exactly which players the team will be counting on for production. She’d have to talk about most of the players on the team at this stage, she said.

“As far as who the leaders will be, I have quite a few that I expect to step up this year,” Holloway said. “We have a long way to go, but I feel good about the group that’s working together. There’s 10 of them, six seniors and four juniors, that are going to be helping each other out quite a bit.”

The identity of the Tigers’ team has yet to be established as well, but certain necessary traits of good basketball teams remain important. The ability to string stops together on defense, taking care of the ball on offense, those sorts of things.

“We do try to take pride in being a defensive team, but right now it’s kind of too early to tell what kind of team we’ll be,” Holloway said.

Dadeville and Elmore County tip off at 4:30 p.m. Monday at Elmore County High School gymnasium.

Dadeville’s D’Aja Caldwell reaches for a layup during a game in the 2020 season.

One bad game didn’t end Auburn season

I

t was a disappointing Saturday afternoon in College Station, TX for the Auburn Tigers as they fell to Texas A&M 20-3. The defense gave up a lot of yards, as usual, but only surrendered four field goals. They did their job against a very pedestrian Aggie offense.

It was the Tiger’s offense that truly underperformed posting its most anemic output of the season with 226 total yards.

They failed to cross the goal line in a game for the first time this season. Mike Bobo’s playcalling was bad. Bo Nix’s overall performance was bad.

The offensive line and the receivers struggled. It was just a bad game. Texas A&M deserves most of the credit.

They have a lot of really

ANDY GRAHAM Columnist good players especially on the defensive side. They had two weeks to prepare and it showed with some unique blitz packages. The Aggies harassed Nix all day and sacked him four times. They deserve most of the credit, but certainly not all of it. Auburn stunk it up quite a bit by themselves.

Bo Nix won the starting QB job in fall practice with an open competition. He struggled early in the season and was appropriately replaced in the 2nd half of the Georgia

State game. Nix has been very good ever since and has played some of his best football over the last four weeks. Bo Nix is Auburn’s starting quarterback and he gives the Tigers the best chance to win. That is the truth and it’s not going to change.

He had a bad game. It happens.

Starting a merry-go-round at the QB position is the worst idea possible. Auburn still has a lot to play for and they need to be at their best to finish the season strong. I wish I could diagnose exactly what went wrong with Bo on Saturday.

Was it all about technique?

Was it physical? Was it mental?

Was it as much to do with supporting cast? I don’t know.

Harsin and Bobo get paid a lot of money to figure those things

out. Unfortunately, identifying the problem is often a lot easier than solving it.

Tank Bigsby had a great game against Ole Miss and looked like the All-SEC back he was expected to be in 2021. Despite Auburn’s paltry numbers, he actually had a pretty good day against Texas A&M too. He finished with 69 yards on 15 carries. That’s 4.6 yards per carry. I’m still trying to figure out why he didn’t get the ball more on Saturday. I thought the Tigers did a great job of limiting his carries early in the season to ensure he would be healthy down the stretch. Well, we’re in the stretch run and he needs to get the ball 20 or 25 times a game. Bo Nix threw

41 passes against A&M and only averaged 3.7 yards per attempt. Like I said, it was a bad game for everybody including Mike Bobo.

While the loss diminishes the Tigers chances, they still have a realistic opportunity to make the SEC title game.

Texas A&M has road trips to Ole Miss and LSU left on the schedule and neither will be easy for the Aggies. If they slip up, Auburn can cruise into Atlanta if they win out.

Of course, that’s a lot easier said than done. Miss State and South Carolina look more formidable than they did a few weeks ago and the Iron Bowl speaks for itself. As an unwise man once said, “get your popcorn ready.”

The Dadeville Record

CLIFF WILLIAMS | THE RECORD

Lake Martin Dadeville Area Chamber of Commerce president Peggy Bullard looks to Aleem and Cindy gillani and Horseshoe Bend Regional Library director Dr. Dazia Ruddick as the Gillanis donated $12,500 to the library for renovations. The chamber donated $17,170 as part of a match challenge from the Gillanis.

Renovations to start on regional library

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer It took a challenge but fundraising is almost complete for the Horseshoe Bend Regional and Dadeville Public libraries.

Lake Martin Dadeville Chamber president Peggy Bullard was happy to announce the chamber raised $17,170 in a challenge from Aleem and Cindy Gillani. And the funding came just in time for Horseshoe Bend Regional Library director Dr. Dazia Ruddick. The challenge started when the couple decided to give back to the community.

“We decided to give to the library,” Aleem Gillani said. “We met with Dazia and asked her how much money they needed. She said $25,000.”

Instead of writing a check for the entire amount, the Gillanis issued a matching challenge.

“We said if you raise $12,500 we would give $12,500, we would match it,” Gilliani said.

But Gillani was worried if fundraising would max out the couple’s match.

“It was coming in a little bit slow so I sat down with Michael Carter of the chamber and mentioned what was going on,” Gillani said. “[Carter] said don’t worry about it, ‘The chamber has this.’”

With the work of Bullard, Carter, Jim Cahoon and more, the chamber raised $17,170 to make sure the Gillani’s match would be maximized.

“Boy did they come through with this,” Gillani said.

Ruddick said work should start soon with

replacing the windows, roof and HVAC systems.

“A lot of the windows don’t close,” Gillani said.

“They let in lots of stuff. We are starting now on some things and getting bids on the roof.”

Ruddick said another $20,000 to $30,000 is still needed and the libraries have a gofundme set up to help with fundraising.

“With all the issues with construction supplies and materials, we assume it will take us quite a while but we are getting started,” Ruddick said.

The gift from the Gillanis and the chamber shows the support of the library by the community according to Ruddick.

“We are so humble and grateful,” Ruddick said.

“For this happen so quickly from so many different sources is a blessing.”
