City OKs purchase Dadeville to get new mower for city streets By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
The City of Dadeville will soon have a new tractor and side mower to help maintain city rights-of-way after action taken by the Dadeville City Council Tuesday night. “We bought a tractor and side cutter,” Dadeville Mayor Wayne Smith said. “We paid a little over half in cash and will finance the rest for three years. The payments will be made from funds from the gas tax.” The city will pay $40,000 cash and finance the remaining $34,000 with payments coming from the city’s portion of the gas tax to purchase the tractor and mower combination available through state bid. The old tractor mower combination was several decades old. Jerry McGukin with East Alabama Regional Planning came to Tuesday’s council meeting suggesting revising zoning ordinances. “He is suggesting we change downtown some,” Smith said. “The idea is to make downtown more multiuse to help promote growth.” Smith said no decisions were made and it will be an ongoing process. Smith said April will be a busy month in Dadeville. “We have something going on every weekend,” Smith said. “We have opening day for Dixie Youth April 6, Earth Day activities April 13, Easter weekend and the Alabama Bicentennial exhibit will be here the next weekend. We will have events surrounding that as well.” In other action, the Dadeville City Council also: • Learned there will be a citywide cleanup March 16 from 8 a.m. to noon. “We will meet at city hall and go from there,” Smith said. “We are encouraging schools, churches and anyone else to come out and help.” Smith said Waste Management would provide a dumpster. • Learned one nuisance property will be fully cleaned up in the next few days and the another will be put on the demolition list when the city See CITY • Page A3

Kyle Sasser, top, shows a rack of comic books at the Mix It Up! store in Dadeville. Sasser said he is pleasantly surprised by the interest in reading and collecting comic books in the Dadeville area, where hunting, fishing and boating are more common pastimes. Some collectible comic books are worth thousands and even millions of dollars.

nyone who comes across a stack of old comic books while spring cleaning better think twice before chunking them in a dumpster because they might be valuable. In the comic book section of Mix It Up! at Lake Martin in downtown Dadeville, there is an issue of X-Men where the mutant Gambit is introduced. Co-owner Deryck Hodge said it was printed in the 1990s and sold for $1 but the store is asking $125. In 2011, Action Comics No. 1 featuring See COMIC • Page A3
Oliver likes cut in grocery tax to offset gas tax hike
Ivey: 10 cents-per-gallon hike in gas tax to fund infrastructure improvements
New representative remains ‘noncommittal’ until he sees bill
STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
Gov. Kay Ivey proposed Wednesday raising the state’s gas tax by 10 cents a gallon over the next three years to fund massive infrastructure improvements, and Sen. Clyde Chambliss, who represents parts of Tallapoosa and Coosa counties, has been tasked with handling the bill in the Alabama Senate. The state gasoline tax, which is 18 cents per gallon and has not been increased since 1992, would increase by 6 cents this year, 2 cents in 2020 and 2 cents in 2021 under the plan, which also links the tax to a national index on highway construction costs See TAX • Page A5

First-term Rep. Ed Oliver said Tuesday he likes the idea of cutting the grocery tax to offset any increase in Alabama’s gas tax meant to finance an overhaul of the state’s infrastructure. Oliver (R-Dadeville), who represents Chilton, Coosa and Tallapoosa counties in District 81 of the Alabama House of Representatives, said he wouldn’t pledge to support the first increase in the gas tax since 1992 until he sees specific details. The gas tax is expected to be a dominant theme when the legislature convenes on See OLIVER • Page A5

Comic books are on display at the Mix It Up! at Lake Martin store in Dadeville.
Superman sold at auction for $2.16 million. It had been owned by actor Nicholas Cage and was graded a 9. Comic books are graded 1 to 10. The condition of the pages, such as tears, bends and the condition of the spine, determines the grade, according to Kyle Sasser, a comic book aficionado who works at Mix It Up! Comics. Stan Lee’s Amazing Fantasy issue No. 15, introducing Spider-Man, is graded at 4.5 and being offered on eBay for $45,000, Sasser said. Lee, who died in November 2018, is one of the most famous comic book writers in history. A comic book’s age, condition and subject matter is what sets them
apart and makes them collectible, according to Sasser, 26. “Collectible comic books would be like your No. 1 issues or something that would happen in the story that was very memorable, like when Bane broke Batman’s back or in Hulk Vs. Wolverine,” Sasser said. People who frequent the comic book section range from children to older adults and a comic book is often the first book a child will pick up and read, Sasser said. “They have a lot of pictures,” he said. “As long as they are reading, that’s what counts. They are still reading and expanding their vocabulary when reading a comic book.” Deryck Hodge, who
co-owns Mix It Up! with Wendy Hodge, said Mix It Up! at Lake Martin opened in 2011 and the comic book section started about two years ago. Deryck Hodge said he has been a fan of comic books since childhood and the comic book section is doing well. Sasser said he is pleasantly surprised by the interest in reading and collecting comic books in the Dadeville area, where hunting, fishing and boating are more common pastimes. “We’ve got 15 comic subscribers here who subscribe to comic books weekly,” Sasser said. “We get a new shipment in on Tuesdays and we put them out on Tuesday night for Wednesday

Some of them buy $40 to $100 worth of comics a week.” Sasser pointed out the same issue of a comic book can be printed with different covers and a collector will want each different issue. “People are into collecting the different covers,” he said. “Different artists will do different covers.” The most expensive comic books are bound as a graphic novel, Sasser said. “A graphic novel is a bunch of comic books,” Sasser said. “Say if you miss an issue, if you buy a graphic novel it’s all of them combined into one book and can cost $100.” Sasser said he is a big fan of John Wick comic books and the movies based on the comic books. “I follow them for the storyline,” he said. “There

16-year-old paces back and forth. He’s been locked in a small room — completely alone — for 23 hours a day for several weeks. This isn’t the opening scene of a Hollywood thriller. It’s the daily reality for thousands of American adolescents who are subjected to solitary confinement after being charged with crimes, convicted and sentenced as adults. Solitary confinement is dangerous for these youth — and for society at large. It causes severe psychological harm and impedes reintegration into society. It’s time to put convicted teenagers in correctional facilities with people their own age — and prohibit solitary confinement for those under the age of 18. Proponents of solitary confinement claim the practice is necessary for safety. Isolating criminals prevents them from causing trouble in the prison and protects them from other violent prisoners. However, research shows solitary confinement does more harm than good. It’s linked to mental health problems such as anxiety, depression and psychosis. In some cases, prisoners commit suicide. These effects are pronounced in juveniles because solitary confinement impedes their development during a critical period of brain growth. People’s brains don’t fully develop until their early 20s. Solitary confinement exacerbates existing traumas, like the abuse and neglect

three years, compared with 66 percent of prisoners released from the general population, according to a governmentcommissioned analysis of 2001 data from Connecticut. For these reasons, all federal prisons already ban solitary confinement for juveniles. Most states don’t allow the practice in juvenile facilities. However, each year 200,000 children are tried as adults around the country. Many are sentenced to time in regular, adult prisons — and face solitary confinement. A colleague and I recently completed research on this subject using data from the New Jersey Parent Caucus. Among juveniles sent to adult prisons in New Jersey, 76 percent spent some time in solitary confinement. Of that group, a staggering 31 percent spent more than 90 days in isolation. Another 16.5 percent were isolated between 30 to 90 days. Solitary confinement causes mental health problems and does nothing to rehabilitate young offenders. We need to ensure children tried and convicted as adults are placed in juvenile facilities. Once there, they should be given opportunities to socialize with other kids and receive the support services they need to one day become productive, law-abiding adults.
many of these kids have suffered in the past. A report from the American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights Watch offers an in-depth look at the mental damage of adolescents who spent long periods of time alone in prison. They frequently expressed thoughts of suicide and selfharm, and relayed stories of hallucination, anxiety, extreme anger and traumatic memories. Consider the account of one young woman in Michigan. She noted solitary confinement was like “being banished … like you have the plague or that you are the worst thing on earth. Like you are set apart (from) everything else.” Another girl from Florida said, “The only thing left to do is go crazy … I catch myself (talking to the walls) every now and again … sometimes I feel like, why am I even living?” Solitary confinement doesn’t just put these teenagers at risk — it endangers society. Prisoners who spend time in solitary confinement are more likely to commit crimes Emily Restivo is an again in the future.

Stop putting juveniles in solitary confinement Our Mission
Let’s take A care of what we have W e are lucky to live in an area with great natural resources. There is Lake Martin with all it offers – swimming, fishing, making memories with loved ones. We have our rivers and streams leading to more fishing and hunting and other outdoor activities. But when we look closer, we are not taking the simple opportunities to take care of what we have. We are abusing roads meant for us all to access the outdoors. A few are leaving them impassable in places. A few are leaving litter behind in places that could be closed off due to the abuse. Why? Have we forgotten the golden rule for the outdoors? “Leave only footprints.” Our roadsides are littered with trash. In some cases, it is making its way to the water. Do we need harsher penalties for those who break the law or take advantage of the system? Maybe. Are we lazy? Look around; every opportunity is afforded us to dispose of trash properly. There are trash cans at the stores where we purchase gas. There are dumpsters provided by the Tallapoosa County Commission to help with trash at our homes. Let’s not dump it illegally on our roadways. If we don’t take care of what we have, it could be closed in the future. It could be closed to our grandchildren. Do you want only to share stories of your memories in the outdoors with your children and grandchildren or do you want to create new memories with your family? The choices are yours to make and your actions will answer the question.

he Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation (WWF) released its findings from a nationwide test on American history and government and the results were horrible. Here are some ideas for us to reverse our decline in an area where we once led the world: knowing our story and political structure. On the WWF exam for history and government, only Vermont had a majority of residents pass the test while 47 percent still failed. In every other state, the majority of residents got an F, with very few in each state getting an A or B. The worst performing states were in the Southeast, where you think some sort of patriotic pride might be in play but it wasn’t. The WWF is trying to reverse that. It deplores the emphasis on memorizing dates, events and leaders; I agree with them. The WWF is promoting a series of digital lesson plans, video games and graphic novels. But there’s no guarantee these new-tech ideas will work any better than the old-fashioned methods. Every year, I teach about a dozen would-be teachers at LaGrange College. Most of them aren’t too different from the rest of the population in their knowledge of history, geography, economics and government. I know because I give them a pretest. But they are a pretty motivated bunch, willing to learn and have learned how to learn from their education professors at the college. Over the semester, their
JOHN TURES Columnist scores improve dramatically as they learn the material. By the end, their scores are much higher and they’re generally ready for the tough exams for certification. I don’t have any special tech, comic books, movies or digital platforms but I have a passion for these subjects. Yes, I aced the WWF test and anyone who plays trivia with me knows that’s my only good subject. But I’ll go through a brick wall to get these future teachers to have such a desire as well. “Love your subject matter,” I tell them, “and the kids will get excited in what you’re teaching as well.” Those who have graduated and taught in their field concur. Of course if the students don’t see themselves in the historical characters, they won’t see why it matters. As my teachers can be a pretty diverse lot, it helps the new lessons involve more women and minorities, which matters given they’ve played a role in our history and deserve such a place. It’s the same for conservatives, as I have conservative students as well. Newer curriculum gives them their deserving place as well in our country’s past and present. I also don’t whitewash our history. “Only one ever walked on water on this Earth,” I tell them as I document our mistakes and efforts to fix them.
Students get we’re not perfect; we can’t solve today’s problems unless we study how we improved upon our past. But I also point out how we have a good history, a dynamic economic system and the oldest existing government in force today for a reason. You’ll be proud to fly the flag after my class. The USA once led the world in international tests on history and government but that’s fallen by the wayside nowadays for a variety of reasons. We emphasize a few subjects and kick history and government to the curb. The same limited list of Americans we should know is trotted out and kids just don’t see themselves in those figures or how someone like them might matter. Every detail is pored over so you never reach World War II (perhaps explaining the shocking number of ignorant Holocaust deniers). And the tone of the class is either “America is flawless” or “America is awful,” depending on the teacher, further confusing the kids. It’s no wonder so many fail history and government. New tech and fancy books and videos might help but not unless the students see a reason for why it all matters. And those of us who love our country, faults and all, are the ones who need to show them why this place is so great. John A. Tures is a professor of political science at LaGrange College in Georgia.

March 5 and is already demanding an inordinate amount of time among legislators, Oliver said. “You know we’re sitting here wrestling over a highway bill or a road tax and that is consuming almost every minute of every day for everybody in the legislature at this point,” Oliver said. “Sadly, there’s some other very important things we need to be spending time on and learning about, everything from prisons to mental health to healthcare issues.” Gov. Kay Ivey provided more details Wednesday in Maplesville when she proposed raising the state’s gas tax by 10 cents a gallon over the next three years to fund massive infrastructure improvements. The plan would increase a gallon of gas by 6 cents this year, 2 cents in 2020 and 2 cents in 2021; it is also linked to a national index on highway construction costs to account for inflation. “(Cutting) the grocery tax would make it more palatable to me,” Oliver said. “The gas taxes are an aggressive tax and penalizes the poorest people in our district, particularly in a rural district where we have to drive a long way to get to work. At the same time, if you’re going to tax somebody, I favor a pay-as-you-go tax. “My heart is in the right place and I’ve got all the conviction I need to know that I’m going to do the right thing. But until I have seen some legislation in front of me that says exactly what I’m looking for, I am very noncommittal.” Groceries in Alabama are subject to the state’s 4 percent sales tax and legislators have been reluctant to end the practice since most of the grocery tax goes into the education budget.
everything I learned in my campaign, people just want to know how it’s going to be spent and spent correctly. Accountability and transparency — I believe that is the big issue. There are also several alternate plans being pushed around right now. I will tell people no matter what you hear about a gas tax, until it’s been voted on, keep your eyes and your ears open.” Alabama’s state gas tax currently consists of three separate levies totaling 18 cents a gallon (19 cents a gallon for diesel fuel). About 45 percent of the proceeds from the taxes go to the Alabama Department of Transportation’s Public Road and Bridge Fund. Fifty-five percent goes to local governments, with 45 percent of that allocated equally among the state’s 67 counties and the rest distributed by population. About 10 percent of the counties’ shares go to municipalities. Oliver said in principle he can support a modest increase. “I ran as a low-tax guy, not a no-tax guy,” he said. “If it’s something that — Ed Oliver we can chew, polling shows 3 to 6 House District 81 representative cents, most people don’t care, that’s fine. Once you get over that, it starts affecting pocketbooks. When you think “No one has seen a written piece of $180 to $200 (more) a year per car, legislation,” Oliver said. “We know that’s not a big deal for most folks. the governor has talked about it. I do But you look at a guy like me that’s know their cohorts in the Senate have got four kids and they’ve all got a some ideas about oversight and things car, that’s a big deal. You look at the that would make it more palatable. … possibility of gas prices rising, that’s Everything is rumor and conjecture at a big deal too. In the long term, by this point.” 2050 we think 90 percent of all the Oliver said voters in his district, cars on the highway will be electric while adamantly conservative, aren’t cars. So are we planning for our future? opposed to tax increases if they know There are an awful lot of factors and I the money is being spent wisely. will tell you that my jaw is sore from “People in this district, it’s not grinding my teeth thinking about this.” that they are selfish and don’t want Rep. Bill Poole (R-Tuscaloosa) is to pay money,” Oliver said. “From
“Eighteen cents a gallon, will that have a negative effect on people who commute? That seems high to me. That will be a couple hundred bucks (more) a year for most people. But in four to five years, once our roads are crumbling and with inflation, the gas tax won’t be enough. Will we index it (for inflation) so we aren’t sitting where we are now again? There needs to be some sort of compromise.””
expected to sponsor the bill and backers say it could support a $2.45 billion bond issue to pay for road and bridge upgrades, with $1.25 billion going to county and municipal governments. In December, Oliver said he was concerned about rumors of adding up to 18 cents to the cost of a gallon of gas and how the funds would be divided. “I have been assured that half the tax would go to the counties equally and the other half would be based on population,” he said at the time. “Huntsville, Birmingham and Mobile don’t want to share. “Eighteen cents a gallon, will that have a negative effect on people who commute? That seems high to me. That will be a couple hundred bucks (more) a year for most people. But in four to five years, once our roads are crumbling and with inflation, the gas tax won’t be enough. Will we index it (for inflation) so we aren’t sitting where we are now again? There needs to be some sort of compromise.” Oliver said Tuesday other alternatives should be considered. “I had a different plan from somebody else (Tuesday) morning that looks at completely different ways to raise revenue,” he said. “And there are a lot of those being floated around right now that don’t have anything to do with the gas tax. There is still a lottery bill that I expect to come up. There are possibly three separate gambling bills that are going to come up. You think about something as simple as Medicaid expansion, which the money for Medicaid expansion would probably raise 10 times more money than a gas tax. There are just a lot of other options.”

to account for inflation. That would increase the tax no more than 1 cent every two years, Ivey said. During her speech Wednesday in Maplesville, Ivey did not address speculation she might call a special session of the legislature to pass the gas tax increase. The regular session begins March 5. It would be easier to pass the plan in a special session, which requires only a simple majority. In the regular session, bills connected with the state budget must pass with a threefifths majority. Republicans possess a supermajority in the legislature but the Alabama Republican Party overwhelmingly approved a resolution last weekend opposing a raise in the gas tax without a corresponding reduction in other taxes such as the state’s sales tax on groceries. “My Rebuild Alabama Infrastructure Plan is a comprehensive approach to a glaring issue affecting citizens in every corner of the state,” Ivey said. “After 27 years of stagnation, adequate funding is imperative to fixing our many roads and bridges in dire need of repair. By increasing our investment in
infrastructure, we are also making a direct investment in public safety, economic development and the prosperity of our state.” The state currently imposes a flat excise tax of 18 cents per gallon on gas and 19 cents per gallon on diesel without adjusting for inflation and other construction and maintenance costs. This combined fuel tax revenue generates 80 percent of Alabama’s transportation funding. Some backers of the proposal have said it will raise enough money for a $2.45 billion bond issue to pay for road and bridge improvements. A separate portion of the revenue will pay for a bond to finance improvements to the Mobile Ship Channel providing access to the facilities of the Alabama State Docks. Chambliss (R-Prattville), the majority floor leader for the Senate Republican Caucus, will carry the bill in the Senate. “With one of the South’s biggest ports and the state’s growing economic development success, improving our poor infrastructure system allows us to remain competitive nationally and globally,” Chambliss said. “As a civil engineer, I
Don’t Leave Your Furbaby Home Alone...Pets need a vacation too.
applaud Gov. Ivey’s efforts to address this pressing issue and look forward to working with stakeholders from all levels of government to ensure her infrastructure bill is successful.” During an appearance in Alexander City in December 2018, Chambliss spoke of the high cost of doing nothing about what he characterized as the inadequate funding the current gas tax provides for road projects in Alabama. “The highways are the veins of our economy and with congested highways, businesses go elsewhere,” Chambliss said at the time. “Our gas tax is relatively flat. It was last raised in 1992 and the value of that dollar is now worth about 65 percent of what it was in 1992 and construction costs are multiples of that now.” Alabama’s state gas tax currently consists of three separate levies. About 45 percent of the proceeds go to the Alabama Department of Transportation’s Public Road and Bridge Fund. Fifty-five percent goes to local governments, with 45 percent of that allocated equally among the state’s 67 counties and the rest distributed by population. About 10 percent of the
counties’ shares go to municipalities. State Rep. Bill Poole (R-Tuscaloosa), who has been instrumental in the crafting of the plan, will sponsor the bill in the Alabama House of Representatives. “(Wednesday’s) announcement is a major step in the right direction to improving Alabama’s infrastructure,” Poole said. “I appreciate Gov. Ivey for leading the charge and allowing me to help develop this plan. A number of studies have concluded that Alabama’s aging infrastructure cannot continue to operate in its current state without severe consequences; these are simply facts we can’t ignore.” Ivey cited studies showing many Alabama roads and bridges have deteriorated to dangerous levels. According to TRIP, a national transportation research group, 30 percent of major roads and highways in Alabama are in poor or mediocre condition because of inadequate state and local funding. In 2015, Alabama’s roads received a D+ grade in a report card released by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Ideally, county road
resurfacing should operate on a 15-year schedule but Alabama county governments are currently operating on a 56-year schedule. Additionally, 1,200 bridges are classified as structurally deficient in Alabama, which is the 17th-worst ranking nationally. Counties should be operating on a 50-year bridge replacement schedule but are operating at a rate of 186 years. A 2019 report by the University of Alabama’s Alabama Transportation Institute and Alabama Transportation Policy Research Center found cars and trucks are putting approximately 69 billion miles on Alabama’s roadways annually, a 17-percent increase over the past 15 years. One-third of all traffic fatalities are estimated to be a direct result of a deficient roadway feature, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers. State government currently provides 40 percent of Alabama’s
total transportation funding while the rest comes from the federal government. However, increasing uncertainty about federal infrastructure funding has created a sense of urgency for states to develop reliable funding sources. Over the past five years, 37 states have increased revenue for their transportation budget.

Jacksons Gap police investigate shooting By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
The Jacksons Gap Police Department is investigating the death of a man in the early-morning hours of Feb. 18, according to police chief B.C. Cooper. Cooper said police were called to a residence on Point Windy Drive early that morning in response to a shooting during an argument.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;One person was transported to the hospital and died en route,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The lady who lives there was having an argument with her boyfriend. The ladyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son was also there and he stepped in.â&#x20AC;? Cooper said more than one gun was drawn and the son shot the boyfriend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were multiple shots fired,â&#x20AC;? Cooper said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not sure who fired what but at least six casings were found in the process of the investigation.â&#x20AC;?
Cooper said alcohol was involved in the shooting and no arrests have been made. Cooper said the Dadeville Police Department and Alexander City Fire and Rescue responded to aid the Jacksons Gap Police Department.
Jacksons Gap officer terminated
Cooper said officer Kervin Lewis Sr. is no longer with the department.
Flor wants well-paying jobs for graduates New ideas include marine mechanics, cyber security, night and weekend courses
Wingler selected as New Site councilmember By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: This is the first of a two-part question-and-answer series with Dr. Doug Flor, Central Alabama Community Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new dean of workforce and economic development. By GABRIELLE JANSEN Staff Writer
Dr. Doug Flor, Central Alabama Community Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new dean of workforce and economic development, said he has plenty of new ideas for the program to offer, including courses teaching marine mechanics and cyber security, and evening and weekend classes for those who want to be commercial truck drivers. He came to CACC with a core objective to improve skilled labor in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I care about people finding jobs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; good, meaningful, well-paying jobs,â&#x20AC;? Flor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you know that 30 percent of high school graduates donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go into any college? And those 30 percent of the high school students who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go on, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a program where they go through this ready-to-work program, which is paid for by the state. So thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no cost to the student whatsoever that they go through this assessment (and) they understand what their skills are, their talents, they understand all of those abilities.â&#x20AC;?
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I terminated him on Friday,â&#x20AC;? Cooper said. ALEA spokesperson Cpl. Jesse Thornton confirmed to The Record Lewis was arrested in Elmore County by an ALEA State Trooper Feb. 18 about 10 p.m. for driving under the influence. The Elmore County Jail confirmed Lewis was booked in at 11:47 p.m. on the DUI charged and released 12 hours later.

Leslie Wingler was unanimously selected to replace Bree Walton on the New Site Town Council at its recent meeting. Wingler and Tiffiney Wyckoff expressed interest in the position declared vacant at the Feb. 4 meeting after Walton submitted her resignation because she was moving outside the town limits. Those interested in the position submitted a one-page letter of introduction as requested by the council and Mayor Phil Blasingame. Blasingame said he appreciated the interest in the position. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to thank Ms. Wyckoff and Mr. Wingler for expressing interest in the position,â&#x20AC;? Blasingame said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will fill the vacant position til the election in August 2020.â&#x20AC;? Wingler was selected 5-0 to fill the vacancy. Wyckoff left the meeting shortly after the selection. The letters of introduction included in council packets were the only information the council had for the two candidates as Blasingame and councilmembers did not speak to Wyckoff who was present at Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting and has been at several meetings. Wingler was absent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He will be sworn in at our next meeting,â&#x20AC;? Blasingame said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will also see if we can get him to be at our work session to try to get him up to speed on some things.â&#x20AC;? Blasingame said Brent Vickers got the low bid for the life safety work at the gym and was impressed with his work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He installed new lights in my basement recently,â&#x20AC;? Blasingame said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to put sunglasses on when I go down there now.â&#x20AC;? Blasingame said a materials list is being put together and the town will purchase those. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be buying the materials to save on taxes,â&#x20AC;? Blasingame said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are tax exempt.â&#x20AC;? Blasingame also said the town will be seek quotes for new lighting in the gym to comply with regulations of the grant received from ADECA. The town is responsible for a 20-percent match. In other action, the New Site Town Council: â&#x20AC;˘ Will hold a work session at 5 p.m. Feb. 26 to discuss the medical clinic/pharmacy and employee health insurance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to go into details about financing such as payments,â&#x20AC;? Blasingame said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We already have leases to look at too.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Heard Blasingame tell the council the town received $5,000 from the Tallapoosa County Board of Education to go towards the renovations of the gym. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to thank our representative on the board, Betty Carol Graham, for this,â&#x20AC;? Blasingame said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We requested some help and they agreed.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Councilmember Toby Hanson told councilmembers the water improvement project was moving along and power has yet to be installed at the Hillabee and Goldville pump stations. Hanson also suggested work be done to allow better access to the station at Hillabee for the backup generator. It was also noted all of the new water meters were installed and the first time crews read them took just over two hours, down from the normal two days. â&#x20AC;˘ Heard from Blasingame more 911 address signs are on order. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We finished selling our first 25 and ordered another 25,â&#x20AC;? Blasingame said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are for sale at town hall for $10.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Learned ARISE will start providing service to the area with transportation from the New Site area on first and third Mondays of the month. â&#x20AC;˘ Learned the street light upgrades from Alabama Power Company are complete and the upgrades from Tallapoosa River Electric Cooperative are nearing completion. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved allowing McKee & Associates to reapply for a community block development grant with ADECA again for renovations to the senior center since the town did not receive the grant last year. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved guidelines for the storm shelter at the fire department. The council adopted the same guidelines used at the county courthouse for an emergency shelter. Councilmembers they want a sign posted at the entrance with the guidelines. â&#x20AC;˘ Blasingame told the council Highway 22 had been approved by the Alabama Department of Transportation for a speed limit change through town. The new speed limit will be 45 mph instead of 35 mph. The new speed limit will take effect when ALDOT installs the signs. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved the purchase of a new pipe and cable locator at a cost of $1,408 that includes a one-day training.

I’m a Cougar fan through and through
I
know the first rule of journalism is to remain unbiased. But I’m the first to admit I haven’t always been great at following rules. I’ve always said in sports, we have a little more leeway because, by nature, it’s easier to be biased toward sports teams. With the competitiveness that revolves around sports teams, it’s easy to get caught up in the atmosphere. And no offense to any team from far away because I’m sure they deserve it just as much as a local team, but when a squad from our area that I’ve been covering night in and night out heads to a win-or-go-home game against a team I’ve never heard of from the far reaches of Alabama, I’m going to hope our team wins. Through my work, I get to know these kids and coaches pretty well, and I want as badly as their parents to see them succeed. I call myself a proud momma when I see a local student-athlete do his or her best and my heart breaks alongside the fans when something goes awry. So on Friday morning, I will be a Central Coosa boys basketball fan. I have been for a few weeks as it has been fighting for a Class 2A state championship. This team is fun to watch. The Cougars epitomize teamwork, as it’s never a given who’s going to play hero that night. When an entire starting lineup is averaging at least 8.9 points per game, it’s easy to see why it’s had so much success. Just Tuesday night, Omar Gaddis and Jovon Richardson, who combine for more than 23 points per game, had just five points between them. But it was Josh McGhee who really shined. Quin Brooks and Noel Jones have also put up big numbers throughout the season, and Jones is averaging nearly a double-double despite missing more than half the season with an injury. This Central Coosa team also has a special place in my heart because it reminds me of the VCU Final Four team. There’s nothing extremely flashy about the Cougars. They don’t have a guy standing at 6-foot-8 who can just dominate anyone who comes in contact with him, and they don’t have one person pouring in 40 points a night. But what they do have is good teamwork, excellent defense and they can shoot from anywhere on the floor. If the 3-ball isn’t working for them, they’re more than capable of going inside. Most importantly though, the Cougars have stolen my allegiance for now because they seem to be the closest team to deliver me an elusive state championship. I’ve been in this business for almost 10 years and have never covered a state championship team. I thought Reeltown’s football team had the makings to do it this season, and Benjamin Russell’s wrestling team came tantalizing close this past weekend. But it just wasn’t in the cards. Since the beginning of the year, Coosa coach Jeremy Freeman has been promising a state championship, so I’m here to watch the Cougars deliver. Besides, this is a big deal for a small community. The Cougars haven’t won a state title since 2004, and now that they’re in the Final Four, they certainly have as good a chance as anyone else. Even if you haven’t been a Cougar fan up to this point, I highly suggest joining the bandwagon because hopefully it’s going to be a fun ride. Lizi Arbogast is the sports editor of The Record.
HIGH-CLASS ATHLETE
Bynum remembered fondly around the community By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
The line out the door and wrapping around the Dadeville First United Methodist Church on the final day of January was a testament to the kind of person Walker Bynum was. People from all over the country — friends as far as Virginia, Tennessee and Alaska — and people from all walks of life — coaches, teachers, former rivals, community members, family — flooded the church to pay their respects to Bynum, who died Jan. 26. In the sports world, Bynum was best known for being a phenom for the Dadeville Tigers who never met a sport he didn’t excel at. “He played everything,” said Kyle Caldwell, a former teammate and close friend of Bynum’s. “He played football, baseball, basketball, and he even played tennis. We didn’t even have a tennis team, but he played the necessary number of tournaments to qualify for regionals and states, and then he ended up playing tennis at Faulkner State (now Coastal Alabama).” Bynum was a wide receiver and outside linebacker for an extremely talented Tiger football team. During the three seasons prior to Bynum’s graduation in 2011, the Tigers went 33-4, making playoff appearances each year. “He was a great athlete,” Dadeville football coach Richard White said. “He had a lot of injuries he had to overcome, but everything he did for us was wide open. He always did everything to the best of his ability.” White said one of Bynum’s best qualities was his ability to overcome some of his God-given shortcomings. During high school, White said Bynum stood at only 6-foot and 175 pounds “soaking wet,” but he conquered that with some serious talent and even more heart and dedication.
“He was kind of someone who everyone gravitated to and who everybody wanted to be. ... Walker never seemed to have a bad day, and there’s not a lot of those people out there in the world.” — Brett Pritchard CACC’s director of public and high school relations File / The Record
Walker Bynum graduated from Dadeville in 2011 and was a standout football and baseball player for the Tigers. He recently died and was remembered fondly around the community.
On the baseball field, Bynum was possibly even more impressive than he was on the gridiron. “He was the best center fielder I’ve ever seen,” said Caldwell, who spent two years as the Dadeville baseball coach. “He’s one of those guys that if the ball was anywhere in the outfield, he was going after it. There were countless times he crashed into the outfield fence and got right up and
threw the ball in.” Bynum was selected as a Class 4A All-State outfielder as a senior. After graduating from Dadeville, Bynum attended CACC where his talents went beyond the sports field. He was selected as a CACC ambassador. “It’s a very high honor to be selected as an ambassador,” said Brett Pritchard, director of public and high school See BYNUM • Page B2

Tigers upend Benjamin Russell, 4-1 By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
For the past two years, Benjamin Russell’s baseball team has had an easy time sliding past Dadeville. The Wildcats have put 10 runs across and shut out the Tigers for two years in a row, but Saturday was a completely different story. Dadeville used a pair of strong arms on the mound and some extremely timely hitting to finally beat its county rival, 4-1. “It’s huge for us,” Dadeville coach Curtis Martin said. “I told these guys in the offseason hard work, determination, focus and effort. If they keep those things, it’s going to pay off and it paid off big for us tonight. We stayed in the game; we had some big hits.” The game was a pitchers’ duel through the first three innings before Benjamin Russell finally broke through in the top of the fourth. Ty Brown got things started with a leadoff single, and he was moved all the way to third on a balk and a passed ball then he even scored on a balk by Tripp McKinley. But McKinley, who threw the first five innings and allowed only four hits, quickly responded. He struck out the next two batters then went to work offensively. Slade McCullers led off the bottom of the fourth with a double before McKinley traded places with him on the bases with a double of his own. “I knew since my catcher Slade got the big double, all the fans were cheering,” McKinley said. “I knew I just wanted to get him in. It feels good to beat them. My fastball and curveball seemed to be on, and my teammates had great defense. They just had my back.” With the game still tied 1-1, Dadeville went back to work in the in the bottom of the fifth. After one out, the Tigers got back-to-back doubles from Cooper Childers and Jake Outlaw to take a lead. They then got the bases loaded with two outs on a pair of walks, and a costly error allowed two more

Dadeville runs to score. Outlaw entered in relief in the final two innings and was all but perfect. He allowed one walk but didn’t give up a hit and struck out five of the seven batters he faced. Combined with McKinley, the Tigers struck out 13. “Tripp was huge for us,” Martin said. “He came in and pitched five innings and gave up one run on a balk that I thought was questionable. There was no warning or anything, so that’s what got me fired up. Our guys responded tremendously, getting a quick run and getting a couple more after that. I couldn’t be more proud.” Both Dadeville and Benjamin Russell defeated Jemison to start out Saturday’s tripleheader. The Tigers won, 5-0, while the Wildcats won, 5-1. In the BRHS victory, its offense still struggled and managed only three hits. Brown had a double while Nick McGhee and Huell Lumpkin each had singles. Benjamin Russell did however get a
strong pitching performance from the trio of Lumpkin, Ryan Willis and Dawson Trapp, who allowed just three total hits. Lumpkin went four innings and struck out eight, while Willis threw three innings
and fanned three batters. The Wildcats didn’t give up an earned run to Jemison. Editor’s Note: Benjamin Russell coach Richy Brooks declined to comment after the game.
Tigers’ run. In the victory over Woodland, the Tigers managed to overcome six errors and still earn the victory. Dadeville had a two-out rally that got things started in the bottom of the first. With one out, Jailee Kirkland got things started with a double to left field before another out was put on the board. Makya Johnson then joined Kirkland on the bases by drawing a walk, and the Tigers loaded the bases with a walk to Zoe Veres. Kirkland put the first tally on the scoreboard by coming home on a passed ball. The Tigers added another run in the bottom of the second on a run-scoring double from Tiffany Rice, but they really broke things open in the fourth. Cali Jones led off with a double, and Dadeville loaded the bases with a hit batter and a walk. Brittany Claybrook then smashed a double to center field to score a pair of runs, and back-to-back RBI groundouts gave Dadeville a 6-2 lead before the inning’s end. After its loss to Benjamin Russell, Dadeville’s offense was unstoppable in the opening round of tournament play as it racked up 13 hits against Horseshoe Bend. Rice was a perfect 4-for-4 with an RBI, and Veres also had three hits and plated two runs. All but two starters had a hit in the game. All in all, Dadeville (2-2) finished with 30 hits on the day, including 10 doubles and a triple. Rice paced the offense with seven hits and four runs scored, while Veres had five hits, including three doubles, and a team-leading five RBIs. Jones and Isis Johnson each had four hits, and Makya Johnson followed closely behind with three hits. Claybrook and Kirkland each had a double and a single.

relations at CACC. “In the ambassador program, he always volunteered to do more and always did more than he was asked. You don’t have to have somebody tell you a person’s good; a lot of times their personality comes out, that was Walker.” One thing a lot of people seem to remember best about Bynum is that personality. Caldwell said he, Bynum and Cameron Carleton, who also played for Dadeville, grew up together and became more like brothers than just friends. Also, another fond memory of Bynum seemed to revolve around his clothing. “He wore a lot of crazy socks, random hats,” Caldwell said. “That was just Walker. He didn’t care what people thought about him. He was definitely always up for adventure, a free spirit and ready to take a road trip at any time.” Even Pritchard remembers that happy-golucky personality always shining through. “He was just a wonderful person,” Pritchard said. “He was kind of someone who everyone gravitated to and who everybody wanted to be. He was very likable and had just a great demeanor. Walker never seemed to have a bad day, and there’s not a lot of those people out there in the world.”

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You assume the lead in whatever you decide to do. Your instincts help you design a situation that encourages others to agree and pitch in. All the positive thinking helps hit a home run, pleasing you and almost everyone. Tonight: A must appearance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have discussed a decision or project with each person involved. The time has come to pitch your idea to those who need to make a decision. Help others see the big picture. You might be quite feisty and touchy, especially by the end of the day. Tonight: OÉ&#x2C6; to the gym. Time for a workout. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be stunned by what occurs and the realization that ensues. You might need to think more in terms of processing rather than blindly making assumptions that have worked for you in the past. Understand that people change. Tonight: Go with a suggestion. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Defer to others, and get down to basics. You have certain errands to run and ideas that need to be executed and completed. Allowing others to deal with the frivolous details could make everyone happy. Tonight: Follow a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Pace yourself, and move past an unexpected hassle. Try not to get stuck or go over a story again and again. Understand where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming from and what might be needed to make an idea become a reality. Tonight: Be more upbeat. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A decision is forthcoming. It might be easier for you to manipulate a project and situation than you thought possible. If someone is unpredictable, take that behavior as a given; you might Ă&#x201E;nd that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right. Tonight: Make weekend plans. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You might want to slow down and do some solid thinking. Sometimes, you move so quickly that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider the long-run implications. A family member lets you know how uncomfortable he or she is over a domestic matter. Tonight: Relax. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Before you take action, consider your options. When you recognize that the time has come to act on a decision, you smile from ear to ear. Because you decide to make calls and touch base with others, you might be out and about or on your cell. Tonight: Think â&#x20AC;&#x153;weekend plans.â&#x20AC;? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be aware of the costs of continuing as you have. Others might not agree with your decision; they might let you know. Maintain your sense of humor, as you might receive some oÉ&#x2C6;beat comments and suggestions. Stay secure in your choices. Tonight: Make it your treat. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be diÉ&#x2030;cult to stop. Someone might feel frustrated. Sometimes, stopping and making an assessment is the only thing that can help. You have far more control and inĂ&#x2026;uence than you think. Use it well. Tonight: As you like. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might not be pleased by whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on, but at the same time, you could feel helpless. Have a long-overdue personal conversation with a key person in your life. If you want this talk to succeed, be vulnerable and open. Your feelings of helplessness will vanish soon enough. Tonight: Get a good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Dealing with others could be frustrating. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not careful, a conversation easily could misĂ&#x201E;re. If you want to celebrate a new tie and agreement, then listen, share and be open. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any situation more diÉ&#x2030;cult. Tonight: Kicking up your heels.

Waterfront camping popular at Wind Creek By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
It is not even March and campsites for the most popular weekends of the year at Wind Creek State Park are filling up, according to park superintendent Bruce Adams. Those looking for waterfront campsites for spring break, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day and the festival in October need to hurry to secure a spot. “Our waterfront sites are filling up fast,” Adams said. “For Fourth of July we are already 97 percent booked for waterfront.” Adams said as of last week, 96 of 159 available waterfront sites were already reserved for the last week of March for spring break. For Memorial Day, 76 percent were already reserved, and for Labor Day 31 percent were already booked. “Labor Day is always one of the last-minute holidays they book,” Adams said. “They normally book it closer to the holiday.” Adams said the park’s popular festival in October is booking up as well. “We already have 111 waterfront sites reserved,” Adams said. “We will most definitely sell out that weekend.” For those who are worried about getting a campsite at Wind Creek, Adams said there are plenty of interior sites are left all summer and fall. “The waterfront sites are our most desirable sites,” Adams said. “There are still plenty of places and even waterfront on the less popular weeks.” The reason for the rush of reservations is the online system implemented a couple of years ago. “We used to do reservations over the phone and then do first come first serve when campers arrived,” Adams said. “This system allows for site-specific reservations and with that we are requiring one-week reservations on all waterfront lots. You can still get waterfront for just a night if it is available when you walk up.” The local campground is one of the largest public campgrounds in the country with almost 600 sites. Just last year that popularity translated into 154,273 overnight stays, according to Adams, and it is something that is not lost on Alexander City Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Ed Collari. “It is extremely significant,” Collari said. “More than half of those overnight visitors were from out of state. That is huge in recruitment of retail businesses along the 280 corridor.” Last year, another 71,590 used the park’s amenities such as the boat ramp, beach and other day-use facilities, Adams said. Adams hopes the crowds return this year for the activities the park is planning. “We do most of the activities for the campers,” Adams said. “Others can come along too, they just have to pay the day-use fee.” Adams said the new archery range is proving to be popular. “We have people saying they are coming back with their bows next time,” he said. “They are just now realizing we have it.” Popular events this year will be the egg hunt Saturday, April 12 and the annual Fall Fest on Saturday, Oct. 19. There will also be events almost every week from nature hikes to movie nights to astronomy. “There are things we can put together at the last minute if we have to,” Adams said. “We might do movies under the stars or star gazing.”
File / The Record
Wind Creek State Park’s waterfront campsites are already 97 percent booked for the Fourth of July. There are several events throughout the year in which the park is booked even more than usual, including its annual Fall Fest, above.

The Dadeville Record
Fire destroys Dadeville home By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
A Dadeville family is without a home following a Wednesday afternoon fire. “We got a call out to investigate smoke on Hatcher Street,” Dadeville Fire Department chief Anthony Wilkerson said. “I walked out of the fire department and saw a large plume of black smoke. When I got here, the was fire coming out the back and sides of the house.” Wilkerson said the homeowner tried to make an entry into the home. “She opened the door and saw nothing but orange,” Wilkerson said. Wilkerson said the home was a total loss, there were no injuries and the cause was under investigation. In addition to the Dadeville Fire Department, the Jacksons Gap Volunteer Fire Department and the Camp Hill Volunteer Fire Department responded to the blaze. The American Red Cross also responded to help the family of three with its services.
