CHILI COOK-OFF Photos by Cliff Williams / The Record Top: Wendy Fineberg poses with fourth grade representative Vicki Noles Griffin after the fourth grade was named as having the best chili at the inaugural Dadeville Elementary School Chili Cook-off on Tuesday night. The fourth grade teachers won the competition while the kindergarten was named most spirited. There were 18 entries including entries from a few area restaurants. Fifth- and sixth-grade students held a showcase just prior to the tasting where the students had presentations on the Leader in Me program.

The Lake Martin Dulcimer Club works on a tune during a recent practice. George Curley said the club started with about three people but they realized others owned an instrument but didn’t know how to play it. After learning from a teacher in Loachapoka, the club grew to 30 people, Curley said.

Today’s

The Tallapoosa County Commission has asked Tallapoosa County Schools and Alexander City Schools to present their needs to justify a continuation of a 1-cent sales tax passed a little over three years ago.

A decision by the commission to do away with the tax has been tabled to give the schools more time to present ideas, something the commission requested when it levied the sales tax in 2015.

In an effort to provide answers to the commission the Tallapoosa County Board of Education hired Goodwyn, Mills and Caywood (GMC) in the fall of 2018 to provide a system-wide assessment to have something to present to the commission.

The tax was passed so county schools could raise the funds to meet the state requirement of one month’s operating reserve. The tax generates approximately $1.5 million a year for each system but is not in place where the school boards can sell bonds for larger projects.

At a school board work session Tuesday, officials with GMC provided assessments of each school and the needs to bring facilities up to code and address issues. The total comes to $17,243,769 and does not include a gym at Dadeville or Reeltown or an auditorium at Horseshoe Bend, projects many have identified as needs.

“This only includes replacing systems or refurbishing spaces,” GMC’s Freddie Lynn Jr. said. “It does not include renovating space.”

Recommended work at Dadeville Elementary School totals $3.7 million and includes updating worn and outdated finishes such as paint and floor covering, mechanical systems, restrooms that are not American with Disabilities Act accessible, life safety issues including fire alarms and enlarging the kitchen and cafeteria areas. Work at Dadeville High School totals $1.8 million and includes updating the north wing with the media center that was not included in a renovation of the school a few years ago

having a good time.

“I retired two years ago and there were about four ladies who had dulcimers and wanted to learn to play them. I said, ‘Do y’all really want to learn to play?’ They did and so we started.”

Walls said dulcimers originated in the Appalachian Mountains as a folk instrument and it’s simple learning to play.

“Nowadays they use three strings,” she said. “Some of them have five or six. Mine has three. I sort of learned on the internet.”

Walls said she and several other club members took a six-week dulcimer course at Loachapoka and while the dulcimer originated in the Appalachians, she said the instrument isn’t just for mountain musicians, as club members learned to play “Ode to Joy.” “It’s a piece by Beethoven,” Walls said. “It’s one of the simple songs that instrumentalists learn at the very beginning. But it’s a pretty song.”

Dulcimer aficionado George Curley said the club started with about three people but soon discovered there were several people in the Dadeville area who owned the instrument but hadn’t learned to play it.

“We got together and practiced a little bit and went to Loachapoka and worked with that group down there for a while,” he said. “We took some lessons from a lady and the next thing you know, we’ve got about 25 to 30 people in this thing here. I always enjoyed playing. I’ve played all my life on something, since I was in the first grade.”

Club member Cathy Deloinback said she has a music background and also plays the clarinet.

“I can read music,” she said. “I’ve never played a stringed instrument but I came and listened to them play and I said, ‘I can probably do that.’ I do like the sound of the dulcimer. It just reminds me of Appalachia, Gatlinburg (Tennessee) and that area.”

A professionally made dulcimer can cost hundreds of dollars but Donna Hebson, another club member, made her own very colorful dulcimer.

“It’s made out of cardboard and it’s decoupaged on top,” she said. “It plays just as well. I just love it.”

For those who want to hear the dulcimers, club members Larry and Elaine Conger have scheduled a concert Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Red Ridge United Methodist Church in Dadeville.

to be kind to others

I

t’s so easy to worry about yourself and forget others.

Sometimes it’s not even intentional, but we are so focused on ourselves and our day, we can accidentally disregard someone else and their day.

It’s important to remind yourself to be kind. You never know what someone else is battling and it’s crucial to keep that in mind when interacting with people on a daily basis.

Maybe it’s a customer service representative on the other line who just is not helping you get what you want. Yes, that can be frustrating but try to put yourself in his or her shoes. You have no idea how many people that representative has talked to already and how many problems he or she has been trying to solve for customers all day.

Besides what is going on at work, he or she could be facing many personal obstacles. Battling an illness, dealing with a family dilemma or grieving a loss are just a few examples of what any particular person could be battling on a daily basis. Maybe it’s your best friend, the lady at the bank or your cashier at the grocery store; a co-worker, friend on Facebook or just someone you bumped into in Walmart. There are many things a person can be dealt and it’s important to remember that as you encounter people each day.

Take a step back. Stop thinking about yourself for a minute and just be kind. Make a conscious effort to be considerate to others you meet day in and day out of each day. Think about what you’re going through yourself — whether it’s physically, mentally, emotionally, professionally or personally — and think if you’d like someone to be kind to you. Of course you would. So, do the same for others.

Be kind. Go out of your way to make another person’s day. You never know how greatly it could impact them. The good karma will circle its way back around to you.

ouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leading Democrats to a standoff with “The Wall.” They call the wall “immoral” and “unnecessary” slamming the wall as 14th century technology and a waste of taxpayer dollars. They claim President Donald Trump wants 2,000 miles of concrete wall when Trump has asked for funding about 300 more miles of barrier in strategic areas. In the past, Democrats have voted for funding the current 700 miles of border barrier, including 105 of 140 miles of border separating Pelosi’s state of California from Mexico. Nevertheless, “The Wall” remains steadfast and silent, standing there unmoved and unscathed barring illegal entrance into California.

Pelosi invited Trump to give his 2019 State of the Union Address to the nation today.

The event promises to be more entertaining than usual with Pelosi sitting directly behind the president as he speaks.

The state of America’s economy is booming compared to the eight years prior to Trump’s arrival in the White House. Wages are up and unemployment is at record lows for all demographics.

In just two years, Trump’s policies have driven America’s stagnating economy to all-time highs. Democrats and their mainstream media cousins are incensed the economy has heated up so much so quickly, contradicting all the predictions of doom and gloom from for-

mer presidents and Nobel Prize winning economists.

In foreign relations, instead of selling 20 percent of America’s supply of uranium to the Russians and abandoning our missile defense in Europe, Trump has reprimanded Russia for violating terms of the INF (Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces) treaty after it continued to build and deploy missiles banned by the treaty. Instead of giving billions of dollars to Iran, Trump has given Iran a thumping with sanctions intended to curb Iran’s development of long-range missiles with nuclear capabilities. And NATO members are now giving more money to fund the organization due largely to Trump’s leadership.

Unlike his predecessor, Trump is renegotiating trade agreements with Canada, Mexico, China and the rest of the world. America’s producers and manufacturers have suffered for decades from irresponsible trade imbalances that penalized our businesses and supplemented foreign businesses. America’s economy is so good Democrats and media cousins have given up trying to paint all the green arrows red.

Speaking of walls,

Democrat Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam advocated tearing down walls prohibiting any abortion “with the consent of obviously the mother, with the consent of the physician … and it’s done in cases where there may be severe deformities.” Northam said. “The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.” That discussion would be to decide whether the newborn baby should live or die.

A day or two later, a photo on Northam’s page in his 1984 medical school annual surfaced of one person in blackface and another wearing a KKK outfit. Was Northam one of the people? Apparently nobody knows. Democrats quickly erected a wall between the party and Northam for his blatant lack of racial morality. Twenty-four hours earlier Democrats had united behind Northam for his moral stance tearing down legal walls preventing abortion of full-term, unwanted babies.

Walls divide morality today.

Many shepherds needed to find lost lambs today

JIMMY WIGFIELD MANAGING EDITOR (256) 414-3179

T

here’s no training in life that really prepares you for when a sibling disappears in a city with millions of people. But that’s what happened to our family, as my sister joined the 84,000 Americans who are currently missing. How could any one of them be found? God knows.

The first book I ever remember receiving was an Arch Book titled “Jon and the Little Lost Lamb: The Parable of the Good Shepherd.” It’s the Biblical tale of the shepherd who sees to the safety of the 99 sheep in a pen and spends the rest of the book looking for the last one, a lost lamb. But how could one person, even a family, find a needle in a haystack?

I called a large major metro daily newspaper in the area. I was told unless it was a child or there was the possibility of foul play, they weren’t interested (“So, in other words, we only want something interesting” snapped a math professor, a friend of mine who was upset with their policy). My brother fared little better than me with getting the TV networks to cover the case.

A retired general, a friend from my D.C. days who now consults for a police department, told me “You can’t do this on your own. You need to get help.”

He was right, of course. You

JOHN TURES Columnist need lots of shepherds nowadays. We were fortunate to get them.

I know the police have become among the most maligned groups in America, an easy target. They don’t always get the credit for saving lives. But my sister would be still missing today if it weren’t for law enforcement. From big cities to small towns, they scoured the region looking for her, even though she wasn’t a local resident.

It’s hard to get the word out when the bigger media entities just aren’t as interested in your case. But it was a different story for others in the press.

One plea from me and a host of newspapers forwarded the story about my sister to anyone they knew who could help. A local newspaper carried the story, as did an AM radio station. If you’re reading this in a paper, know this paper helped.

It’s another reason to support your community’s editors and reporters.

Though it was tough tracking down churches in these big cities, our local parish was there to pray with me, adding

my sister to the list. Whether you believe or not, it’s a humbling experience when your family receives someone’s prayers, really.

There were also so many people on Facebook, etc. (college, church, community, etc.) who commented on the message, shared it with friends in the area, who shared it with others. A former coworker heard our story and put it on an internet sleuthing site. The traditional media and social media combination worked so well when my brother went out to the city to look for my sister, everyone seemed to know about her.

When the parable was being told in the Bible, Jesus is the Good Shepherd, of course.

So why did the book call him Jon? I wondered about that.

Now I think I know why. Any of us can be lost, of course.

But many were put on this Earth to be shepherds too, to find those who are lost. Thanks everyone for stepping up to help someone you’ve never met, a person you’ll probably never meet. You are the heroes we need today to make this story have a happy ending.

and work in the band room.

Work at Horseshoe Bend School, the newest school in the system built in the 1990s, totals $2.4 million and includes cleaning the exterior, adding gutters, improve drainage for erosion control, updating bathrooms and locker rooms, new door hardware, HVAC for the gym and new energyefficient lighting.

Work at Reeltown Elementary School totals $5.6 million and includes replacing the boiler and radiators in the school, addressing life safety issues with egress in the auditorium, restrooms, a play gym and kitchen. Work at Reeltown High School totals $1.4 million and includes gutters and life safety measures.

Work at the Edward Bell Tech Center totals $1.67 million to address ADA and life safety issues, bathrooms, roofing and electrical but does not include any work to the gym.

Lynn said furnishings were not figured into the estimates.

The capital projects presented by GMC total $15,618,630. It includes $3.9 million for gyms at Dadeville and Reeltown high schools, $2.6 million at Horseshoe Bend for an auditorium, $1 million at Reeltown Elementary School for play gym, almost $3 million for a kitchen at Reeltown Elementary School and $1.3 million for a band room at Reeltown High School.

Lynn said if the board chose to do everything, the total would not necessarily come to the $32,862,399 total of capital and non-capital projects.

“Some of the capital projects work is in the non-capital projects,” Lynn said. “I would say it could be done for $25 million.”

Superintendent Joe Windle is hopeful the board and representatives from GMC to present a summary of the facilities assessment to the county commission at its March meeting. Windle said Alexander City Schools will most likely going to do the same, but its wish list is a lot larger. Windle also said the county schools would likely go along with its recommendations on the tax since the city’s wants are larger.

“I think their list is along the lines of $63 million,” Windle said. “To get there, they will need for the tax to be in place longer than us, so I think we will agree with them there like they agreed with us a few years ago when the tax was put in place.”

GMC looked at the county

The Tallapoosa County Board of Education was informed it has $32.8 million in needs at Tuesday night’s work session. Superintendent Joe Windle is hoping to present information to the Tallapoosa County Commission in March for the sales tax extension.

schools’ enrollment and what classroom needs will be as far out as 2032.

“Basically Reeltown is growing, Horseshoe Bend is stable and Dadeville is declining,” Lynn said.

“Dadeville capacity is not a long-term problem as classrooms should become available according to projections.”

Officials with GMC said the declining enrollment has accelerated in recent years. The l0-year decline is 2.57 percent per year while the five-year decline has been at 6.76 percent per year.

The facilities assessment did not take into account classrooms for pre-K program as they are not a required program but Windle and board members said they would like for them to be considered.

Discussion at the work session presented ideas of expanding the program at Dadeville Elementary if they got the grant from the state.

“I think we need to talk to the City of Dadeville about swapping Councill Middle School for the rec center and softball field,” Windle said.

“Basically Reeltown is growing, Horseshoe Bend is stable and Dadeville is declining.”

— Freddie Lynn Jr. Goodwyn, Mills and Caywood “We could put the pre-K program in the rec center. It already has a kitchen. I spoke with (Dadeville) Mayor Wayne Smith last week and he seemed open to the idea.”

Currently the City of Dadeville owns the recreation center and the field the Dadeville High School softball team plays on. The softball field is leased to the board of education through a long-term lease as many renovations were made including a press box, locker room, dugouts, batting cage and lights.

Officials with the consultant could not say why the decline was happening as they did not look at birth rates and population studies.

The numbers considered

for projections were based on the 20-day average daily membership provided by the board of education, the same required numbers presented to the Alabama Department of Education.

The classroom assessment at Dadeville Elementary School shows 41 classrooms with two extra rooms currently. Board members seem to disagree.

“That is not what we are hearing from teachers,” board member Michael Carter said.

GMC said its observations show some rooms it classifies as classrooms are currently being used by smaller groups that could be moved else where. With the projected decline in enrollment, officials said they project eight extra

classrooms being available in 2032. Currently Dadeville High School has three extra classrooms with 10 extra projected in 2032. A 1.5 percent decline per year was used for Dadeville Elementary School while a 4 percent per year decline was used for Dadeville High School.

At Dadeville High School, data showed the decline happening at 10th grade.

“The career tech center may be able to stop that decline,” Windle said.

Windle explained the Edward Bell Career Tech Center could be used as a recruitment tool to retain students as students and their families look around at education options.

Lynn said GMC presented the enrollment numbers so board members can make decisions in regards to facilities.

“If you see you have declining enrollment, it might influence your decision on building, knowing you may have more space in a few years,” Lynn said. “Sometimes it might be a better decision to just deal with what you have for a little while.”

No more debate, Brady is the best QB

I

hate to admit it because I’m not usually a fan of winners. I like a good underdog story, and as a fan of sports teams that typically do very poorly in the postseason, it’s always been easier to hate on the successful teams.

But after Sunday night’s Super Bowl LIII, there’s no argument New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback of all time. And more than that, he should be in the conversation of best athlete of all time. He’s up there with Tiger Woods, Serena Williams, Wayne Gretzky and Michael Jordan.

Let’s just take a look at a list of Brady’s accolades.

• The man has six Super Bowl rings. That’s as many titles as the Pittsburgh Steelers have, a record that stood for an extremely long time.

• He also has four Super Bowl MVP awards, the most by any NFL player, and three league MVP awards. He’s the oldest player to ever win either.

• If you combine his regularseason and postseason stats, Brady is first in league history in career passing yards and touchdowns.

• He’s been selected to fourteen Pro Bowls. And you thought Terrell Owens’ six selections were impressive.

• Brady has won the most games ever by an NFL quarterback; he’s the only one to get to 200 regularseason wins. Oh, and he’s never had a losing season.

Name a better quarterback.

Please. I’ll wait.

During Sunday night’s Super Bowl against the Los Angeles Rams, there was no question in my mind who was going to win.

Similar to why I just knew Alabama was going to get into the College Football Playoffs: Because, well, it’s Alabama. How did I know the Pats were going to win Sunday night? Because, well, it’s Tom Brady.

When the game was tied 3-3 with under five minutes to go, it seemed like the prime time for Brady to do what Brady does, and that’s exactly what happened. Brady put on his game face and methodically moved the ball down field with four straight completions, and Sony Michel topped off the Patriots with a 2-yard punch for the ultimate game winner.

The score certainly indicated a defensive showdown, and it was.

But Brady still got his. He finished with 262 passing yards on 21 of 35 completions. There was no way Brady was going to let the Patriots lose.

And people may jab at Brady for bragging in his celebration videos on social media, but again, he’s Tom Brady. He’s won more Super Bowls than I could ever dream of winning.

He’s allowed to brag a little. And again, as much as I say I dislike Brady, he actually seems like a decent human being. You never see him in the headlines for doing things he shouldn’t be doing, and he just comes across as a standup guy.

There’s also a couple more amazing things about Brady you should consider. He’s easily the biggest steal of any draft for any sport ever. Brady was taken in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft.

That’s just unbelievable.

He’s also a staggering 41 years old. Granted, that’s not actually all that old. But in the sports world, that’s ancient.

He’s also got at least one more year in him — if not more. And knowing Tom Brady, he’ll probably be hunting down lucky No. 7 this time next year.

“We aren’t going to let this one slip away,” Dadeville coach Jesse Foster said. “We’re going to try to take advantage of it this year, and we’ve been telling the guys all week that we wanna play three more games at home.”

Dadeville closes out regular season on high note

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

It seemed like it was going to be just another day at the office for Dadeville’s boys basketball team Thursday night. After a relatively slow start, the Tigers eventually caught fire in the third quarter and led by as many as 17 points in their regular-season finale against Notasulga.

But the Blue Devils weren’t going to make it that easy, especially after Dadeville elected to put its seniors in the game in the fourth quarter. Notasulga slowly but surely chipped away at the deficit and cut it to as low as five points before Tiger coach Jesse Foster had enough.

Tiffany Rice signs with Point University Last Wednesday, Dadeville’s Tiffany Rice, seated second from left, signed her letter of intent to play softball at Point University, an NAIA school in West Point, Georgia. Rice is following in the footsteps of her older siblings; two of her older sisters and her older brother also played ball for the Skyhawks. ‘I have heard great reviews from my sisters, and I just love playing softball,’ Rice said. ‘I wanted to further my career by playing softball there.’ Rice is a center fielder for the Tigers but said she’d be willing to play at any position for Point. She plans to major in business administration. Joining her at her signing were, front row, from left, her father Jeff Rice, her mother Whitney Rice, her brother Jackson Rice; back row, Dadeville principal Chris Hand, Dadeville softball coach Jordan McGuire, Point University assistant coach Sarah Warren, Point University head coach Jennifer Tyler and Dadeville assistant principal Pam Holloway.

be wary of the Bobcats’ defense. The first time around, the Tigers scored an 80-53 victory, but in the second meeting, Beulah clamped down defensively and held Dadeville to just a 69-53 win.

Dadeville will rely heavily on forward PJ Eason and Jamauri Chislom as well as sharpshooters Jamarion Wilkerson and Jay Patrick to get the job done tonight.

If the Tigers won, they will take on the winner of B.B. Comer versus Randolph County in the championship at 6:30 p.m. Friday.

On the girls side, Dadeville faced off against Randolph County at 6 p.m. to open the tournament. Dadeville boasts just a 6-13 record on the season but won when it needed to, including a pair of victories over Randolph County. The Tigers won, 39-29 and 49-21 — the second meeting was their biggest margin of defeat this year.

Although Dadeville won the chance to host the tournament, Tiger coach Pam Holloway is preaching to her team not to overlook anyone.

“We definitely don’t think it’s a given, and I’ve put that in the girls’ heads,” she said. “Even though they are young, they still know that. I told them that basically everything starts (today) and if you lose (today), it’s over. We can’t take anyone for granted because at this point everyone should have the same goal in mind.”

Like the boys team, Holloway’s girls have also been hit with some sickness but she said she’ll be relying on point guard Nhylee Banks to run the offense and really direct things defensively.

Janiya Wyckoff has done a majority of the scoring this season, and Holloway is hoping Natori Giles and Ka’Niyah Wilkerson will both kickstart things defensively. She’s also hoping for some senior leadership out of Nena Pearson, who is the lone senior on the team.

Like most coaches, Holloway knows it’s hard to beat a team three times, but she said most of that is due to mental strength, something she’s been working on with her girls at practice.

“I’ve experienced that over my years coaching because you have to keep the kids and yourself in the right frame of mind,” Holloway said. “You are preparing a third team for the same time, and you never want to take anyone for granted no matter how many times you played them or what the score was when you played them. Because anything can happen on any night.”

The winner of the girls semifinal matchup will face either B.B. Comer or Beulah at 5 p.m. Friday for the area title.

Lizi Arbogast / The Record

Dadeville’s Daquan Doss, left, is pressured by a Notasulga defender last Thursday night.

Tigers ballplayers back in there,” Foster said.

“It was Senior Night, so I was trying to let the seniors finish it out. But most of all I want to get the win, so I had to put my regular starters back in and we kinda sealed the deal.”

From there, the Tigers held Notasulga off the scoreboard for the rest of the game sans two free throws, and they closed out a 62-53 victory.

Notasulga, which had previously lost to by 20 points, used back-to-back 3-pointers from Tyquan Daniels and Jayquan Lindsay to cut its deficit to 56-51 with 2:50 remaining. But in came the big dogs for the Tigers, who scored the next five points straight to once again push their lead to double figures.

Jamarion Wilkerson and Tripp McKinley both had putbacks during the run, as second-chance opportunities were key for the Tigers on Thursday night. Dadeville outrebounded the Blue Devils, 36-30.

continued from Page B1 Although it was Senior Night for the Tigers, it was sophomore PJ Eason who carried the load. He finished with a game-high 25 points, and no other Tiger hit double figures.

“I told him today, ‘I gotta have a double-double tonight,’” Foster said.

“I didn’t care what it was — blocks or even free throws — but I needed that.”

Eason delivered and almost answered the call with a triple-double.

In addition to his 25 points, Eason also grabbed 13 rebounds and was just three blocks shy of 10 in that category. He also had a trio of dunks that fired up the crowd, one of which was slammed so hard it got stuck in the netting.

Aside from Eason’s offensive output, the Tigers did have a nice spread. All but two Dadeville players scored at least three points. Wilkerson contributed eight points, and Phil Dowdell and McKinley split 14 evenly.

With the final victory under its belt, Dadeville now turns its attention to the Class 3A Area 6 tournament which it’ll host next week. The biggest thing the Tigers will focus on in their practice days ahead is not becoming too predictable.

“We gotta be able to change defenses and offense better, and we preached that at halftime tonight,” Foster said. “We did a pretty good job, but we’re just starting to do it on offense. We’ve been doing it on defense all year, but we’ve gotta change it up. We can’t be in the same thing all night.”

Dadeville also has a bitter taste in its mouth from last year after narrowly falling to Tallassee in the area championship at home.

“We gotta take care of things at home,” Foster said. “We’d rather be at our house. We let it slip last year, so we’re gonna try not to let it slip this year.”

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Tap into your imagination; you might surprise even yourself with what comes up. You discover a way to turn a red light into a green light. Your ability to understand those around you helps you pull a white rabbit out of a black hat.

Tonight: Play it low-key.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Emphasize what is important to you. Success comes through a close associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help or suggestion. As stubborn as he or she might be, this person will move oÉ&#x2C6; his or her position when needed.

Tonight: Surround yourself with friends.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might not appreciate the heavy Ã&#x2026;ow of others seeking you out. You feel obligated to respond accordingly. Others seem inordinately generous with any slipups that you might have while returning their inquiries. Tonight: A friend plays an important role.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your imagination carries you past many hard moments. Use this ability to resolve a problem that seems to always be present. When you relax and know that you can resolve the issue, a viable solution comes up. Tonight: Relax to a favorite TV series.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Do not hesitate to reach out for a loved one or key associate. You feel more secure with this person because he or she is available to help you brainstorm or sleuth through a risky yet touchy situation.

This person helps tame your impulsiveness. Tonight: Return a long-distance call.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Defer to others. At the same time, catch up with others and see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on their mind. You might want to visit with one person at home -- where both of you will be free to speak and others arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to overhear. Tonight: Play it mellow.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Work past a problem; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow yourself to let go and decide that a resolution isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available. A resolution does exist. Communication remains sunny and upbeat.

Brainstorm with a key person. You could be pleased with what comes up. Tonight: Know your limits.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your creativity emerges to help you get past someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-imposed restriction. He or she will slowly open up and grin. Then, you can have an active and worthwhile conversation. Curb a tendency to go overboard. Tonight: Squeeze in a stress buster.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You seem to be able to deal with a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or roommateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tantrum. You might want to pull back and take a hard look at what seems restricted or unavailable.

Decide to have an overdue chat with the other party. Tonight: Be as agreeable as possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your sixth sense emerges.

Because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also unusually resilient and creative, you can use it to clear out a diÉ&#x2030;cult problem. Be willing to express an idea youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been mulling over. Strong feedback might open a door. Tonight: Meet up with a friend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be overly responsive to a friend. But you might not focus on another priority that could ultimately cause a problem. Before you decide on a purchase or a Ã&#x201E;nancial change, make sure your Ã&#x201E;nances are as you think they are.

Tonight: Be conÃ&#x201E;dent.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You feel as though you cannot be stopped. Use some of this energy to manifest more of what you want. Goodwill stems from a public appearance; nevertheless, you need to convince someone of your ability to handle a special opportunity. Tonight: As you like.

Bill filed to allow taxpayers to donate to border wall STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

Alabama Senate President Pro Tempore Del Marsh (R-Anniston) has pre-filed a bill that would allow taxpayers to check a box on their state tax returns to donate to We Build the Wall Inc. Alabamians can currently check off contributions on their tax returns for many different entities, including the Alabama 4-H, Alabama Aging program, Arts Development Fund and USS Marsh Alabama Battleship Commission.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I talk to people in my district and around the state, border security is the No. 1 thing I hear about,â&#x20AC;?

Marsh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is obviously an issue that has people very concerned and one that needs to be addressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is obvious that many people in the federal government have little desire to address border security, so this is an easy way for people in Alabama, if they choose, to check a box and make a donation in support of building a border wall.â&#x20AC;?

We Build the Wall Inc. is a nonprofit created by Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage to raise money to build the wall along the United States border with Mexico for national security purposes.

The 2019 regular session of the Alabama Legislature begins March 5.
