GLAM helps young ladies dazzle at prom By DAVID GRANGER Managing Editor
Some five years ago, Kelli McGhee came up with the idea of helping high school girls in financial need who might not otherwise be able to do so outfit themselves to dazzle at prom, band formal or any other occasion where a glamorous

look may be needed. “I can’t say that it was my idea,” McGhee said. “God just laid it on my heart. We made it work and we’ve been doing it for five years. It’s a blessing just knowing that there are girls that come in and we can offer something to them like a prom dress.” Thus was born the GLAM Project, a

With more and more animal shelters facing overcrowding, many innocent dogs and cats are facing a terrible fate. These animals find themselves without a home and are often euthanized to make room for the next round of strays. One group is fighting to stop this vicious cycle. Highway Heroes Rescue Transport is a group of volunteer transport coordinators that utilize a network of volunteer drivers who assist rescues and adopters in their efforts to save animals from shelters. Becca Mahoney of Tallassee transported two furry passengers from Montgomery to Lanett. Her passen-

Merle was in a shelter in Texas and Nina was a rescue that needed surgery. “She just had surgery,” Mahoney said. “She had pins and screws put in so she does not like to get in and out of her crate. You have to make sure she is on the ground when you take her out.” The traveling duo will have a total of 16 drivers who will collectively log 1,600 miles throughout the journey.

time, that guy is doing that to get money to buy drugs.” Of the 42 arrests made between Jan. 11 and Feb. 3, 44 percent were arrests made for property crimes such as burglary, theft of property and breaking and entering. Only 10 percent, or 4, of the arrests made during that period were violent crimes, which include robbery. Higgins believes as his department continues to combat narcotics, property crimes and some violent crimes will begin to decrease. The war on drugs has been an ongoing battle in nearly every city in America. In many cities illegal drug use is so widespread that it has become an epidemic. Drugs like heroin and meth were once found only in large cities. Today, however, these drugs have made there way into small towns, like our own. “I’m realistic, I know we will never 100 percent fix, it but we’re going to give it our best effort to bring it to 100 percent,” Higgins said. Higgins believes most of the narcotics in Tallassee are manufactured
of Police. In doing so, Hammock received 30 applications for the position. Much thought and many hours reviewing each applicant ended with Matthew Higgins taking the resigns of the Tallassee Police Department. Since then, Higgins has wasted no time in sending the message that Tallassee has a zero tolerance for illegal drugs. In a little over two weeks, TPD has made 42 arrests. Of those arrests, 24 were narcotics related. According to Higgins, illegal drug use is something that must be contested on a proactive level and dealt with head-on. “I said from day one, we’re going to be proactive,” he said. “We have to decide that this is an issue and declare war.” Higgins says taking down narcotic dealers and users will ultimately cut down on other crimes. “Most people probably don’t realize it, but many other crimes stem off of narcotics,” he said. “The guy stealing your weed eater or the guy breaking into your house, most of the time, probably 98 percent of the

them from Montgomery to Lanett where another driver picked them up as their journey home continued. Rescuing animals is nothing new to Mahoney. She has been saving dogs, cats and other animals from shelters for years, since she was 15 years old. “This is my first time with Highway Heroes, but I have been rescuing for years,” she said. “We’ve had up to seven at a time. I’m down to one but I have rescued five poodles in less than three years. I’m down to five parrots, but I had 26. I rescued reptiles for years and years because no one else would.” Like many others, Mahoney would like to see a local shelter in Tallassee. Currently, Tallassee Police Department has an animal control officer who will take stray dogs to the Elmore County Humane Shelter in Wetumpka. “We need more resources here,
where we are,” she said. “We have nothing. We have so many empty buildings in town. It wouldn’t take much to put in the runs.” Mahoney understands there is no perfect solution; however, she believes a local shelter would be a better alternative for stray animals. “It’s better than to be starving somewhere or tied to a tree,” she said. “In most states you can’t leave a dog tied.” Until things change for the better, Mahoney will continue to advocate for animal rights and do her part by participating in programs such as HHRT.

elsewhere. “You’re not seeing the labs that you did at one time,” he said. “A lot of it’s coming in from across the border through cartels. A lot of what we’re seeing is coming from Georgia or somewhere like that. It’s probably been run there by cartels that are picking it up and bringing it in.” Higgins says that many of the illegal drug dealers are themselves addicts who are supporting their own habit. “A lot of the people selling it are selling to pay for their own fix,” he said. While the recent increase in narcotics arrests does look good on paper, Higgins understands that there are real people involved, people with families and friends who love them. “We really want to help those people,” Higgins said. “We want them to get help.” Twenty-four narcotics arrests is a lot in a short period of time, however many of these cases have been ongoing. “A narcotics investigation is something that takes a lot of time,” he
said. “I commend the guys for the time and effort that they have put into this. Some of what we’re working on does stem back from cases these guys have been working on for some time.” Higgins says he could not do what he does without the support of Hammock and the city council. Furthermore, he says he absolutely could not do his job without the support he receives from his own department. “They are an outstanding group of men and women,” he said. With a growing list of suspects facing justice, there is no doubt that the time and effort put into these cases paid off. Yet the battle against narcotics remains ongoing and active. This is why Higgins has a message for anyone with bad intentions who is in or may be coming to Tallassee. “I hope the word’s already spread,” he said. “If you want to come here and commit crimes and deal drugs then you are taking a chance because we’re going to do everything that we are physically able to do to bring those people in.”

Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: In praise of 'uncomfortable heroes' A sometimes-useful phrase for advocates of reading— like yours truly—is that “the book is always better than the movie.” Such a presumed truism advocates reading a particular book, if possible, before seeing “the movie version.” Not only does a book (usually) provide more details, there’s also the opportunity to compare how much liberty the movie took with the book’s presentation in the name of cinematic embellishment…sometimes it’s minimal, sometimes it’s ludicrous; i.e., the phrase “loosely based” can be an understatement. Then there are the occasions where a movie is seen first, and a viewer is motivated enough to search out the tome that was the primary source for the flick. Another possibility is that a moviegoer simply wants to do some research to learn more about a character—his-
The So-Called Column By Willie G. Moseley
torical or present-day— that is portrayed in the film. And that can be a good thing, as well. Contemporary media abruptly thrust Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger into the international spotlight on Jan. 15, 2009 when, as the pilot for U.S. Airways Flight 1549, he landed the unpowered airliner in the Hudson River in New York City after both of its engines had been damaged and rendered inoperable by a bird strike. Reporters and camera operators swarmed to the edge of the waterway, their eyes and lenses zeroed in on an airplane floating in the middle of the river with dozens of people standing on its wings, as numerous watercraft
surged to the site of the landing to assist in the rescue. All 155 persons onboard survived. It was one of the more uplifting real-life dramas that played out on live television in history. Sullenberger was immediately hailed as a hero, and, considering the times, there was also an immediate-if-unspoken presumption that the pilot would garner an inevitable book deal . Movies are an additional-if-less-frequent option for such events and the personalities associated with them. Obviously, a lot of credence was accorded to a movie about the 2009 Hudson River incident when Clint Eastwood signed on to direct and Tom Hanks was announced as the character for whom the movie was named. ‘Sully’ was based on Sullenberger’s book “Highest Duty: My Search for What Really
Matters” (Harper), co-written by Jeffrey Zaslow. My family saw the movie when it was released last fall, and in a stereotypical reaction to a movie that came off as inspirational, I asked my daughter to get the book for me as a Christmas present. Interestingly, the book has some perhaps-unexpected differences from the movie—there’s not much discussion of the post-landing investigation, whereas those hearings and testimony were a major facet of the film. Moreover, Sullenberger waits until the next-tolast chapter to impart a major familial incident, so that anecdote may seem to come across as somewhat of a catharsis. However, an overlying theme of both the book and the movie is the portrayal of Sullenberger as an “uncomfortable hero,” and such self-admitted reticence is admirable. He is also straightforward about the effect of
the event on his marriage and family life. Some years ago, this space questioned the way some media were designating certain public figures as “heroes.” In particular, it cited military veterans Scott O’Grady and Jessica Lynch for their experiences in combat environments. O’Grady was shot down over Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1995, and utilized the evasion and survival techniques he’d learned as part of his Air Force training. He was rescued after six days. Lynch was captured by Iraqi forces during a firefight in the second Gulf War in 2003. Seriously injured, she was rescued from a hospital nine days later. The purpose of the previous column wasn’t to denigrate either person; they both managed to endure in life-threatening circumstances. But one fascinating number that can
be sussed out of the transcripts of the recordings of Fight 1549’s emergency landing is that only about three and a half minutes elapsed from the time the aircraft struck a flock of Canada geese until the time its rear fuselage first grazed the icy waters of the Hudson. During that time, Sullenberger and his first officer, Jeff Skiles, had to focus quickly and intensely on their options and ultimate choices in order to save the lives of 155 people, including themselves. “Highest Duty” avers that such actions are done by professionals in accordance with their training, but the saga of Flight 1549 makes for an enthralling ride for any reader.

ost of the memories of my young years on radio and then television have to do with listeners. Tallassee had a man that’d been an outstanding football player in high school and married one of the prettiest girls in school. He got an outstanding job and they had a son. Everything was going great until he started drinking. He was the kind that couldn’t just drink he drank and drank until he lost his job, home, and wife. Doing odd jobs to get another drink of anything from shoe polish to Mennen Skin Bracer. He lived in abandoned cars in a junkyard and was the butt of cruel jokes. He would come to me and ask me to play Billie Holiday’s “What a Difference a Day Makes.” Most of the time he’d miss the song and ask me to play it the next day. Even though it’s been years since Jack Mitchell, Dr. Earl Mullins and I had that early morning
When I hear that song The Coffee Breaker By Ronald Brantley “Coffeebreak Show,” I never hear Billie Holiday that I don’t think of this man and our peculiar friendship. I could tell so many stories about him, some funny, some sad and all part of those early years when a group of teenagers hung around the barbershop and characters like this man became a part of my life. Everyone knew this next man. As a younger man his wife left him and this made him a total loner. He had great talents but only used them as a case of have to in order to do the things he wanted to do. In the eyes of the everyday man, he was strange and not many people wanted to be around him. When you were with him it was a case of doing what he wanted to do and the way he wanted to do it. There was one par-
ticular song that stayed on his mind and it dated back to the days when he was married. This man slept when he wanted to and it wasn’t always at night. Some nights he would work and drink and when he drank he thought of his failed marriage and this song would come to mind. My phone would ring at all times of the night and it would be him. “On your show in the morning I want you to play ‘For the Good Times,’ by Ray Price,” he would say. My answer would be, “Don’t wake me at 2 a.m. to request a song,” and I’d hang up. Sometimes he’d call me back and apologize and other times he’d be fighting mad. It all depended on how much he had to drink. I played the song quite often. Years later he took his life. Every time I hear this song by Ray Price my mind goes back to those days and him calling. I don’t think so, but maybe it helped ease his pain. Recently a very dear
friend passed away. At his funeral they told of many things he did in the 50 years he lived. They played a song that he wrote about living in the country and it brought back memories of him singing the song for me in the barbershop and how much we enjoyed it. His life hadn’t been the smoothest for him and it all reflected in this song. It was pure and honest and lived by the man that wrote it. He wasn’t a singer but he loved to sing and had a pretty good voice and wasn’t bashful about singing. One Sunday he sang a solo at church, the song was “Lighthouse.” At his funeral they played the song by Alan Jackson. I don’t think I’ll ever hear that song again that I don’t think of my friend. Space won’t permit, but I can think of many more stories connected to a particular song. Ronald Brantley is a long-time Tallassee resident and a regular columnist for The Tribune.
Talks THE TALLASSEE TRIBUNE
Inside the Statehouse By Steve Flowers
Legislature likely to kick Medicaid can down road in busy session
A
s the third regular session of this quadrennium begins, the paramount focus once again will be on the budgets. Even more specifically, it will be about the General Fund Budget. Alabama is one of five states that has two budgets. Our education budget now receives over twothirds of our tax revenue due to the fact that our growth taxes, income and sales, are earmarked for education’s coffers, whereas our General Fund gets the remaining one third of revenue and that will continue to shrink because it has no growth taxes. The General Fund also has to feed the most expensive expenditure of state government – Medicaid. This Great Society program created by Lyndon Johnson in the 1960s is a money-eating monster that grows exponentially and now eats up over half of the General Fund Budget. This problem is not unique to Alabama. Every state would name Medicaid funding as its most significant financial nightmare. We are affected more adversely than most states because we have a much higher indigent population. It is this long-term problem that eventually will have to be addressed. Those who are closest to the problem are aware that it is an elephant in the room that will not go away. Rep. Steve Clouse (R-Ozark), who chairs the House Ways and Means General Fund Committee, sees it as does Gov. Robert Bentley. Bentley, being a former physician, is sympathetic to the needs of the less fortunate. He treated all patients during his 35 years of practicing medicine. He also wants to see his compatriot pediatricians paid to take care of poor sick children. Initially many of the Republican House and Senate members were saying enough is enough. We cannot continue to absorb 10 percent annual increases in this social program, even if the federal government matches Alabama’s contribution about three to one. However, once a crisis seemed imminent, they realized that it not only affected the poor but also the middle class Alabamians they represent. In medium-sized towns and cities throughout the state it is imperative that Medicaid be funded in order for their hospitals to exist. In Birmingham, it would cripple our crown jewel, Children’s Hospital. It would also be devastating for Alabama’s and Birmingham’s largest employer, UAB. Most respected economists say that Alabama should have taken the expanded Medicaid program offered by the federal government. It would have been a financial boon for that state if for nothing else than the windfall to UAB. A good many of the Republican legislators’ constituents rely on Medicaid to care for their parents and family members and probably a good many of their parents reside in nursing homes. Approximately 70 percent of nursing home residents in the state depend on Medicaid to pay their nursing home expenses, which, by the way, is very expensive. In short, Medicaid is here to stay. It is not going away. Legislators cannot bury their heads in the sand like an ostriches and hope the problem disappears. The legislature and governor have come up with a short term fix to our Medicaid problem. They appropriated $120 million of the one-time BP oilspill settlement funds and gave it to Medicaid. This was about 20 percent of the one-time BP windfall. Ironically, it will be disbursed over the next two years, 2017-2018. Guess what folks – that is when the quadrennium ends. Therefore, the proverbial can has been kicked down the road. The next governor and legislature will inherit this baby to take care of the following four years. Legislators may be faced with yet another issue in this overladen regular session. It may be imminent to raise the gasoline tax in the state, which has not been increased in fifteen years. The reason being is that the Trump administration will probably come with a massive federal infrastructure plan to rebuild the nation’s highways and bridges. More than likely states will have to come up with some matching dollars. It will be imperative that we take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity. The last major federal highway initiative was the Eisenhower Federal Interstate Program. We are behind the eight ball when it comes to political capital and attaining federal dollars. Bentley is blackballed and laughed at by the Trump administration, as are our Congresswomen Martha Roby and Terri Sewell. We also have a freshman senator who will be ranked 100th in seniority. However, we have quite an ace in the hole. We have Richard Shelby to protect us. When Shelby speaks, folks in Washington listen and that includes Trump. Richard Shelby is unquestionably one of the five most powerful members of the U.S. Senate. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist.

What's in a halftime show?
or those of us in the band business, the halftime show is a big part of a band director’s job. There are expectations related to time-honored traditions of the school, as well as the assumption that the basic qualities of tone production, balance, blend, intonation, and pitch and rhythmic accuracy will be present. And of course, plenty of flash and dash to go along with the music. As bands have grown and developed over the years, there have been many changes. For instance, most high school bands and many college bands have completely evolved in the direction of DCI (Drum Corps International) or BOA (Bands of America)-styled shows that are full of spectacle and are repeated at each football game throughout the season, as opposed to a halftime show that changes each week. The theme of a marching band’s show lasts the entire season in most cases. The National Football League has developed a reputation for spectacle, as well, with its halftime shows at the Super Bowl

reedom isn’t free” is something that is often attributed to the sacrifices of men and women in uniform. As an old army guy, I can appreciate that, but this article is about something greater than any man or woman of this earth. Freedom isn’t free, because Jesus paid the price for you and me. To top it off, I’m a poet and didn’t even know it. Last Tuesday, a dear friend of mine went to week one of her Freedom Group. They have them for men, women, and co-ed. So what are Freedom Groups? Per the Church of the Highlands’ website, it goes something like this. Freedom Groups gather for 13 weeks to discuss the Freedom Small Group curriculum, which is designed to equip us to live the victorious and abundant life Christ came to give each of us. Freedom Groups build on the foundation of our faith in Christ to help
Bird’s Eye View By Michael Bird through the years. As the most-watched television program each season, programmers and advertisers are keenly aware of the number of eyeballs tuned in during the game – and especially the halftime. Last weekend at Super Bowl LI, Lady Gaga performed one of the best halftime shows in Super Bowl history. A well-trained musician, Gaga had the audience going goo-goo with her appearance atop the stadium singing “God Bless America” and “This Land is Your Land,” surrounded by red, white, and blue drones, before swinging into the stadium on a giant rope swing. She changed costumes with every song, in a medley of her greatest hits. And for a performer known to be a little outrageous, she kept it middle-of-theroad. I went back and looked at some Super Bowl halftimes past. From the
beginning in the 1960s all the way to the 1990s, marching bands appeared (Grambling State University’s band has appeared the most), along with all-purpose massappeal entertainment such as drill teams and ensembles such as Up with People. I had forgotten about those days. Michael Jackson was asked to perform at the Super Bowl in 1993. And every year since, the Super Bowl halftime has been one of the most talked-about and anticipated (not to mention coveted) performances by any artist each year. It just got bigger and bigger for a decade. It was the 2004 Super Bowl halftime that became a pop culture legend, introducing the term “wardrobe malfunction” into the vernacular. Justin Timberlake danced suggestively with Janet Jackson as they sang his song “Rock Your Body.” Timberlake then ripped off part of Jackson’s shirt, exposing her naked breast on live national television. In the five or six years following this incident (and a huge FCC fine for CBS-TV for indecent exposure), halftime played it safe with
classic rock acts like Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, The Who, The Rolling Stones, and Bruce Springsteen. There have been some halftime regulars: Beyonce and Bruno Mars have each appeared a couple of times recently. And among the last times a marching band performed at a Super Bowl included 2015 – but it was in service to performer Katy Perry. Back in 2007, the Florida A&M Marching 100 memorably backed Prince in a lightning storm. This year’s performance by Gaga was triumphant in many ways. She actually has talent. Not to take anything away from the magnificent Bruno Mars or the bubbly Katy Perry, but I think Lady Gaga bested ‘em both. In fact, it may have been “the best halftime show ever” – at a Super Bowl. She will be a tough one to top next year. Maybe they will invite the “Pride of Tallassee”? Bird is an educator in Tallassee City Schools and a regular columnist for The Tribune.
Freedom isn't free JODY FULLER Guest Columnist
us embrace the truth of God’s Word as it relates to our worldview, our past, our sin, our personal value to God, and our purpose in His Kingdom. The group will help us remove every obstacle to intimacy with God and walk in true freedom. So, I decided that I’d start one, too. I’ve been eager to join a Bible study for some time now, but for one reason or another, it just never happened. In fact, a friend invited me to join a Freedom Group with him a couple of years ago. I think it was my friend Kyle, but I wasn’t sure. On Thursday, I sent him a text asking if he was the one who invited me and if knew anything about any upcoming opportunities to join a group or if he had any points of contact
for anyone who may have information. And then this happened. “I’ll be honest, I cannot remember, but I probably did. Man, you (or the Lord) sure has a crazy sense of timing. We have a men’s Freedom group (me and 3 other guys are leading) starting tonight. We will be meeting every Thursday from 7-9, and will end with a conference in early May,” he said. That there, my friends, is what I call a “God nod.” I could have asked a dozen people. Kyle might not have known anything. They could have been on week 12. It just blows my mind that God’s timing was so immaculate. I’m really not sure why I get so surprised when I see such obvious divine intervention, because I see it so often. God shows me more signs than Alexander Shunnarah, and that’s saying a lot. I jumped at the opportunity to get involved. My group is about 15 strong, which is the perfect size,
in my opinion. Although we watched a video and did some work in the study guide, the first night was just an introduction of sorts, but I can already tell that it’s going to be special. Each of the guys are solid, too. We all have problems. We all have issues. As my dear friend says, we all have stories, even those who you may think have everything going their way. While there are some things I can’t and won’t talk about at this point in my life, I know that whatever I say at Freedom Group, other than the teachings itself, will stay within Freedom Group, because as Kyle says, “What happens in Freedom Group stays in Freedom Group.” Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq.

To buy or not to buy? That is the question
his one is for the guys. That’s because Valentine’s Day is coming and I’m afraid some of you guys out there are headed for big trouble. First, you need to understand that this holiday was created for ladies, not guys. What man wants a dozen cut roses or needs a box of chocolates? Another reason this column is for the guys, is because this may well be the only thing you get for Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day may be the day of love but it may also be the day of misunderstandings and hurt feelings. When your wife, sweetheart, girlfriend, or whatever she is, says, “Oh, you don’t have to buy me anything,” what you don’t want to buy is that line. She does not actually mean that and guys
you better be astute enough to understand that or you could end up paying for more than you bargained. Now in case you are one who says, “Well, she knows that I love her so what else could she possibly want?” Flowers, candy, cards, or a new red Mercedes Benz convertible! As the Bard once said, “To buy or not to buy, that is the question.” Okay, maybe he said something similar and this was what the Bill said: To buy or not to buy, is not the question. The question is what to buy. Did you read the part earlier about misunderstandings and hurt feelings? You had better buy something and you had better not buy just anything. No, money will not do for this

holiday. By the way, guys, you think you are so smart buying that big box of candy for her every year. You had better believe that she knows you only buy that thing so you can eat most of it and, yes, she knows exactly how many pieces she has eaten and that you ate the rest. We’ve talked in years past about buying things like a new set of tires, or worse yet a new transmission for your truck, and trying to pass them off as
her Valentine’s present. I have only four words here: misunderstanding and hurt feelings. Move over Rover! Here are a few other bad gift ideas for you. Back at Christmas I wrote about The Star Registry where you can pay to have a star named after your loved one. I’ve decided to open my own service called The Sand Registry. For one low price, in two payments, I will name a grain of sand down at Gulf Shores after your sweetheart. So far I haven’t had any business but I think it simply hasn’t caught on yet. You can also have a manatee named after her but I’m not sure how she might tell which manatee is hers. I heard the other day that The Bronx Zoo lets you name a Madagascar hissing cockroach in honor of
your sweetie. They will send them a digital certificate with the roach’s name and a special Valentine’s Day message; all for only ten dollars! Now if that’s not a bargain, I don’t know what is! (By the way, I do know a good marriage counselor if you need one.) If you love somebody, you want to give them something that says so. Do you know that God loves you? God loves you so much that, according to John 3:16, he gave his only begotten son for you. That my friends, is a whole lot of love! In comparison, a dozen roses sound like a pretty good deal. I probably would not suggest the hissing cockroaches. Bill King is a religion columnist.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have the ability to move past a problem, whereas many people will get caught in its trap. Your ability to detach prevents you from getting stuck in quicksand.

The target of this operation was Garon Allen Marshall, known on the street as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big G.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is a habitual drug offender who is currently serving a sentence under the Community Corrections Program,â&#x20AC;? White said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marshall is considered a major distributor for methamphetamine for the easternmost part of Tallapoosa County. According to White, investigators located and seized 165 grams of crystal methamphetamine, tramadol pills, synthetic marijuana and digital scales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Task Force had been receiving complaints about drug activity coming from this residence for the past six months,â&#x20AC;? White said. Marshall, 27, of Dadeville was arrested and charged with trafficking in methamphetamine, two counts of possession of controlled substance, second-degree possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. The operation. which included a number of controlled buys, led investigators to multiple suspects. Others arrested included: â&#x20AC;˘ Hilyard â&#x20AC;&#x153;Billâ&#x20AC;? Tucker, 35 of Dadeville, charged with trafficking in methamphetamine, two counts of possession of controlled substance, distribution of controlled substance, second-degree possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. â&#x20AC;˘ John Farrel Adamson, 26 of Dadeville, charged with trafficking in methamphetamine, two counts of possession of controlled substance, second-de-
gree possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. â&#x20AC;˘ Thomas Bufford, 39, of Dadeville, charged with trafficking in methamphetamine, two counts of possession of controlled substance, second-degree possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. â&#x20AC;˘ Morgan Sheridan, 33, of Jacksons Gap, charged with trafficking in methamphetamine, two counts of possession of controlled substance, second-degree possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. â&#x20AC;˘ Jeffery Sheridan, 53, of Jacksons Gap, charged with trafficking in methamphetamine, two counts of possession of controlled substance, second-degree possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Tallassee Police Chief Matthew Higgins said he welcomed the help of the task force and said that having that kind of expertise available is a great help in battle drugs in his area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this operation speaks volumes for the expertise and the power of a cooperative effort when it comes to keeping drugs off the streets,â&#x20AC;? Higgins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There had been complaints from this area for quite some time and to use this type of multi-level investigation and operation is the only way to make such a dramatic impact. We are thankful to all the investigators and agencies who were a part of it.â&#x20AC;?

According to Swindall, there are several things that can assist in the management of chronic disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It teaches how to self-manage chronic disease, whether you yourself have a chronic disease or if you are a caregiver,â&#x20AC;? Swindall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things that you can do for yourself, communication, mind activities, sleep, diet, exercise.â&#x20AC;? Both Swindall and Danelutt hold master training degrees through Stanford University that allow them to instruct chronic disease self-management. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We both went out to Stanford in California for an entire week for intense training,â&#x20AC;? Swindall said. The health fair at the senior center ends on Feb. 15. While this program is focused on senior citizens, the S.A.F.E program is designed wtih everyone in mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone interested in hosting the program, whether it is a church or a group of individuals, we can come free of charge within a 10-county area,â&#x20AC;? Swindall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All they have to do is contact us. We are under an umbrella called Get Healthy Talladega County. We focus on Talladega County but we go out into a 10-county area. We can go as far down as Tallapoosa County.â&#x20AC;? Anyone interested in this free service should contact the S.A.F.E organization in Sylacauga at 256-245-4343.

Love Amazes Me.â&#x20AC;? The program is girded by a verse from Proverbs, chapter 21, verse 35, which says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is clothed in strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want the girls to grow up and have the values of that verse,â&#x20AC;? McGhee said. In addition to doing prom and band formals this time of year, GLAM also offers its services for homecomings and some pageants. On Saturday, volunteers and high school juniors and seniors scurried about the thoroughly pink house that used to be the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pastorium, but is now 100 percent devoted to the GLAM project. Girls tried on dresses and shoes, parents and volunteers there to advise them on their choices. And this was no slim-pickings situation. There was one room devoted entirely to shoes and two more devoted to dresses alone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the dresses have been donated to us,â&#x20AC;? McGhee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Others weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve purchased with money that has been donated to us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun for us, too,â&#x20AC;? McGhee said. McGhee said though the girls who take advantage of GLAM are mostly from Eclecticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elmore County High School and Tallassee High School, they have had girls come from as far away as Alexander City and Montgomery and throughout Elmore County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girl from Montgomery, she was ready for prom,â&#x20AC;? said McGhee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She had already bought her dress and everything and her house burned down. She heard about us and she came and we outfitted her for her prom.â&#x20AC;? On Saturday, which was the GLAM Projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dress Day,â&#x20AC;? some 35 girls had appointments to come in and search for the perfect dress and matching shoes (McGhee said there would likely be a few walk-ins as well). Ladies who volunteer from the Good Hope congregation are thher to
advise them on their outfits. There are even ladies available should alterations be needed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like what I found,â&#x20AC;? said Hailey Everett, who was searching for a dress to wear to her band formal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I fell in love with three or four dresses and finally had to choose between the two I liked most.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great knowing that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a dress for band formal this year that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to try and work into our budget,â&#x20AC;? said Everettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom, Tammi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is just a great ministry.â&#x20AC;? After the girls have chosen their dresses and shoes, they make an appointment for the second day in the process â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Make-Up Day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where they will meet at the church, given tips on make-up, hair and more and hear an encouraging speaker.

THS wrestlers continue to dominate By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
THS senior wrestler and 2016 state champ, Jake Baker, dominated over Beulah’s Kenya Logan 6-0 (Fall 0:00) Submitted / The Tribune
With the AHSAA 1A-5A South Super Sectional only two days away, the Tallassee Tigers have continued to look ahead. The team had a busy week with a tri match between Tallassee, Northview and Carver Montgomery high schools on Thursday, Senior Night on Friday and the Hornet Slam held Saturday. In Thursday’s tri match the Tigers dominated and the team walked away with double victories. Tallassee defeated Carver Montgomery, gaining an impressive 72-6 win. Following the win over the Wolverines, Tallassee wrestlers set their sights on Northview High School and defeated the Dothan team 73-6. During Senior Night, the Tigers faced off with Beulah and Elmore County high schools in another tri match. The Tigers, again, proved to be unbeatable with a 84-0 victory over Beulah and a 58-12 win over Elmore County.
Saturday, the Tigers traveled to Beauregard to participate in Hornet Slam 3. In this tournament, the Tigers faced Benjamin Russell and won with a 65-6 victory over the Wildcats. Following the match with Benjamin Russell High School, the Tigers took on Northview High School and defeated the Dothan team for the second time in three days, 66-18. Next, THS wrestlers set their sights on Opelika High School and again walked away victorious with a 65-15 victory over the Dawgs. The Tigers continued their winning streak as they defeated Park Crossing High School in a 55-24 victory over the Thunderbirds. Finally, the Tigers took on Huntsville High School in the finals of Hornet Slam 3. Tallassee lost to the Eagles by a final score of 41-31. The Tigers will compete in the upcoming AHSAA 1A-5A Super Section this weekend where a host of Alabama high school wrestlers will compete to see who will move on to the state championships.
Mat Cats win Alabama Youth Wrestling state championship By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
For the first time in the group’s history, the Tallassee Mat Cats youth wrestling program has won a state title, taking the USA Wrestling Alabama State Championships on Saturday at Hewitt Trussville High School in Trussville. “I knew we had a good chance going in the tournament, because of the veterans we returned,” said Mat Cats head coach Brent Tennyson. “What we needed were some of the younger guys to step up and we got it.” The Mat Cats team scored 484.5 points with the closest competitor, Iron Clad Wrestling from Birmingham, posting 392 points. “It was as large of a margin of victory as I can remember in recent history,” said one Tallassee Recreation Department official. The Mat Cats posted 13 individual state champions, 14 seconds, 8 thirds, and 6 fourth place finishers. “It goes without saying that this is the largest medal count the Mat Cats have ever posted at a State Championship meet,” said Tennyson. The team took over 50 kids to the state meet and placed more than 40 of them from first to fourth. “Our program continues to grow each year, we had close to 70 kids that participated in the club this year,” said Tennyson. The team has seen its stature grow in the state over the past few years with both the numbers of kids participating and with the level of success the program has reached. The coaches – Tennyson, Jeremy Ballentine, Trey Rogers, Brad Jones, Josh Epperson, and J. R. Robbins – have devoted countless hours and weekends away from their family and friends to the success of the program. The Mat Cats participation numbers five years ago were below 30 and have increased each year to today’s count. Special thanks needs to be given to Ricky Joe Stough for graciously donating the practice facility, The Mop and Broom Factory in East Tallassee. Stough has allowed the team to use this facility free of charge and that has been a huge part of the growth in the Mat Cat program. Tallassee Recreation Department Director Rick Golden and his staff are to be commended for their

efforts in coordinating the many registrations, tournaments, and many other duties as well. Tennyson also mentioned the parents who devote hours each week to getting their kids to and from practice and tournaments. “It is a drain on time, finances, and family, for the parents and they are to be commended for their commitment as well,” said Tennyson. There are a few individual achievements that were noteworthy as well. For the first time in Mat Cat history, Tallassee had two female state champions. Alli Smith at the Intermediate 120-pound class and Sara Wyatt at the Novice 120-pound class both finished first in their respective groups. The team also had eight “Battle for the Belt” winners. This is a series of the four largest tournaments throughout the season that an individual wrestler must finish first in all four to win the coveted belt. Hayden
Bragg, Dylan Price, Brodie Jones, Land Bell, Chase Chumley, Aiden Cockrell, Jude Rogers, and R. J. Coker, were all recipients of this award.
