Citywide cleanup planned in Dadeville By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Dadeville Mayor Wayne Smith was proud to announce the city efforts of a clean up day at Tuesday’s council meeting. “We want to see if we can clean up Dadeville to be the beautiful town it is,” Smith said. “We are going to have a clean up day Saturday, Jan. 21 and we are looking for everyone to turn out – churches, civic groups, anyone that wants to team up is encouraged to take part.”
Smith explained that the city will have a dumpster at the city shop to accept bagged garbage. “We want people to pick up litter and bag it,” Smith said. “We will be out from 8 a.m. to noon. For those bigger items like sofas and such, if everyone can just get those close to the street. From there our city crews will come by to pick those up.” According to Smith, the council held a brief executive session at the meeting. City offices will also be closed Monday, Jan. 16 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The Dadeville City Council also: • learned that a county work crew will be working in the Dadeville are picking up litter on the roadways. • learned still waiting on letters to go out on the demolition grant and that waiting for good weather for the Lafayette Street paving project. • approved minutes from the last meeting. • approved recreation center rentals. • approved payment of bills. The next meeting of the Dadeville City Council is Jan. 24 at 6 p.m. with a pre-meeting at 5:30 p.m.
County school board looks to put ad valorem tax on ballot
Commissioners to ask legislature to abolish county’s constable posts By MITCH SNEED Editor
By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
The Tallapoosa County Commissioners will ask the Alabama State Legislature to abolish the office of constable in the county. The commissioners voted 4-0-1 with Commissioner John McKelvey abstaining to approve a resolution requesting the legislature to take that action, after hearing a request from resident John Prophitt and other information from Tallapoosa County Chief Deputy David McMichael. “Probably the main argument to end this office is that law enforcement has advanced to a level that requires extensive training to protect the public and the lives of individual officers,” Prophitt said. “We all know what is happening in the crisis of confidence in our law enforcement establishment. Constables are not required to take any training and state law prohibits this commission and other agencies from paying for training even if they wanted to. “This commission should protect our law enforcement community from this exposure to untrained individuals that use our county name in the performance of their activities.” Prophitt said there are more than 40 other counties that have taken similar action to help clear any potential liabilities that could be caused by constables with inadequate training taking action that could be contested in court. There are currently 18 constable districts in Tallapoosa County. See COMMISSION • Page 3

According to the National Weather Service, Alexander City did not drop below freezing until after midnight Friday night while the last reported precipitation was 8 p.m. Friday night and totaled less than a quarter inch.

The Tallapoosa County Board of Education is looking to put an ad valorem tax up to vote in a special election in Feb. or March of 2018. Superintendent Joe Windle asked for the board’s permission to start working with board attorney Mark Allen Treadwell to start preparing to put a 3 mil ad valorem tax on the ballot in a special election next year. “As we proceed forward, our last requirement (new one-cent sales tax) is to allow the citizens to vote on an ad valorem to replace it,” Windle explained to the board. Windle explained he spoke with tax attorney Alan Ziegler that is well known in the state and his recommendation is do it under Amendment 382. “Under 382, it has to be 3 mils or less,” Windle said. “382 means that the (county) commissioners can vote to put it on the ballot for an special election and it does not have to go to the legislature.

She has been signing and writing since she was 5 and made her debut on the Grand Ole Opry in Sept. 2007 with “Takin Off This Pain.” Her third single “Look It Up,” made its way to the country charts in 2011. Shepard’s most recent albums “This Is America” and “Out of My Pocket” were released on her own label “Pickn’ Shed Records.” “She will be a great splash with the crowd both old and young,” Moon said.

While the heart of the winter storm missed Tallapoosa County, the temperature drop left ice over many structures, including the stairwell at the Smith Mountain Fire Tower.
Weather
continued from page 1
The timing could not have been better for Tallapoosa County to avoid the wintry mix. “We dodged a big, big bullet with this storm,” Tallapoosa County EMA Director Jason Moran said. “We were fortunate here that the temperature didn’t fall quite as fast as they had anticipated. So we didn’t have issues that were as severe as in other parts of the state. “But I want to thank all the agencies who were involved in the planning we did in advance. We had a good plan in place and that kind of cooperation was great to see.” That planning was evident. Alexander City kept a crew on call and while they did apply sand in some locations, few issues were reported. The same was the case in Tallapoosa County where crews hit a few spots that had ice on roads and
bridges, those were the exception rather than the rule. Some ice was reported in the area Friday evening. “The deputies did report that the Old Providence Road Bridge in Hackneyville iced over Friday evening,” Tallapoosa County Sheriff Chief Deputy David McMichael said. “We had a little ice to form on cars but no accidents were reported.” A light coating of ice could be seen on trees in northern Tallapoosa County in the Daviston area back to Alexander. Many trees glistened in the Saturday morning sun but it was not enough to bend over the pine trees. A few residents took to the trails at Smith Mountain Saturday morning after a low of 17 degrees and wind chills in the low teens. Ice covered the steps going to the top of the Smith Mountain Fire Tower but the risk allowed a view of icicles formed at an angle thanks to the northern wind.
Commission
continued from page 1
“Issues with this office extend to not only the individuals that have encountered constables spotty at best law enforcement efforts but to all members of the county law enforcement agencies, our probate office and the functioning of our political party processes,” Prophitt said. “This folder is a compilation of issues that have been referred to the Attorney General’s office over the past 20 plus years. These opinions have been forced by constables attempting to extend the power of their office beyond the scope envisioned by state law.” McMichael said while some constables have served for a long time and have caused no issues for law enforcement, there are others who have created situations when showing up at crime scenes. “We’ve had some that have shown up at crime scenes and caused aggravation for the deputies and investigators who were there,” McMichael said. After hearing from County Attorney Thomas Radney that he would follow the model of the other 42 counties that have done the same thing, the commissioners approved the move. McKelvey said that he supported the abolishment, but said due to his role in law enforcement he didn’t want any appearance of a conflict to impact the vote by the commissioners. In other action the commissioners
approved a request from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s ABC Board to use offices in the Tallapoosa County Courthouse, Alexander City Annex free of cost. The commissioners voted last year to allow that use for one year, and the vote was 5-0 to extend that courtesy for one additional year. The original request came at a time when the agency was facing budget cuts. It was pointed out Monday that the space was not needed by any other county agency currently and the ABC officers often helped the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department and other local law enforcement agencies. Having them close by was a benefit to the county, County Administrator Blake Beck said. Beck also updated the commissioners on the status of the new Department of Human Services Building. The building commission has been formed and is working with an attorney on language for a bond issue. “I know it seems like we have been talking about this for years, but we are seeing some movement now,” Beck said. “We are working with an attorney and I think if all goes well, we could see the beginning of construction in the spring.” It was also announced that the courthouse would be closed on Jan. 16 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Robert E. Lee’s birthday.

Thanks to local agencies for staying prepared
W
e are lucky that there is a great cooperative effort between governmental agencies and officials in our area. Just look at the planning for the possible impact of last week’s winter storm. Everyone put a plan into place to make sure we were safe, down to business owners who ordered ahead to make sure we had access to supplies to weather whatever was coming this way. The Dadeville Police Department loaned one its Humvees to the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department just in case it was needed. Also the police department and city leaders were involved in making sure a plan was in place to make sure they were prepared for the anything that might happen. The schools worked with law enforcement for an early release of students to make sure everyone arrived home safely. City and county crews loaded trucks with sand to help with potential problems on bridges and roadways. Members of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Marine Patrol Division and conservation officers with the Alabama Department of Conversation that are staffed with four-wheel drive vehicles provided the back up to make sure hospital staff could have gotten to work from areas that may have been affected. All of this was coordinated through the Tallapoosa County Emergency Management Department. Jason Moran and his staff had plans for almost any situation. Last week Moran and others gathered to make sure everyone knew their part and to get the latest information from the National Weather Service. Moran also made sure that all the parts of the puzzle were put together just in case. We did not need any of it for this storm but it is comforting to know that it is there if we need it. In the future, you can be a part of the effort by making sure you have severe weather emergency plans for your family in place and staying up to date with your local weather stations. No matter the disaster, the planning efforts will allow us to make it through to the other side.

Old friends are the best
ne night last week, I hung out with Anthony and Eloy, a couple of friends I worked with many years ago at Kroger Drugstore in Opelika. I’d seen them individually a handful of times over the years. In fact, they’d been to a couple of my comedy shows where I talked about my days at the store, but this was the first time we’d all gotten together for a night out, which was a comedy show in itself. We had a great time. The store was located at what is now Dollar General. That narrows it down, doesn’t it? Those stores are everywhere. “If you build it, they will come” is a popular quote from the movie “Field of Dreams.” Well, with respect to Dollar General, if you build it and leave it vacant for longer than 48 hours, they will come. The Dollar General I’m referring to is the one located directly next to Piggly Wiggly. See, now you know exactly where I’m talking about. I travel all over Alabama, and you wouldn’t believe how often “The Pig” is used as a reference point. “Now you know where the Piggly Wiggly is, right?” Of course, I do. We reminisced about the good old days. We laughed until we cried, whether it was about Anthony putting
JODY FULLER Guest Columnist
mailbox letters on the side of his car or me looking for a box of fallopian tubes. We didn’t have too many funny stories on Eloy since he’s so much older. We missed out on his young and dumb days. I started working at the store in February 1989. Eloy had been there for a number of years, while Anthony started about a year and a half before me. In fact, it was called Super X when they started. I left for the Army in 1992. I learned to run the buffer at the store, which made me the subject matter expert in basic training, a title I did not covet. I returned in 1996 and stayed until 2001. I was the last man standing. It was the perfect place for us to work, as management was very flexible with us regarding our school schedules. All three of us were non-traditional students, which for us is just another way of saying we were a little older while going to school. The bottom line, however, is that we all graduated college. I know without a shadow of a doubt that we motivated each other to do so. That’s what friends are for.
We are all doing well. Anthony is now a teacher and coach. Eloy is a contractor for the Air Force, and as the old folks say, “does something with computers,” and I do whatever it is I do. Anthony just whooped prostate cancer and Eloy is old, so I’m glad we got together when we did. Who knows what the future holds for any of us? I’m just hoping it holds more get-togethers. The drugstore was a great place to work. It’d been over 15 years since we were all together, but we didn’t skip a beat. It was as if no time had passed at all, which is a sign of true friendship. We listened, laughed, learned, and loved, because that’s what real friends do. We don’t get to choose our family, but we do get to choose our friends, so choose wisely. Life is all about choices. We are the sum of those with whom we associate. I’m blessed to associate with great family and friends, especially the old ones; they are the best.

helping others? They smile, they’re happy, love what they are doing, and they are always looking for additional ways they can help. I was pleased to see a large number of citizens that attended the Dadeville city council meeting Tuesday night. This is encouraging to see the interest and participation. The council meets on second and fourth Tuesdays of every month with precouncil at 5:30 p.m. and council meeting at 6 p.m. Come and participate. The Historical Society installed two new historic markers with the help of the men’s group from the First Methodist Church. One is located at the corner of the Historic Museum and the
other at the site of the old Carnation plant on Lafayette Street. Boy does that Carnation plant bring back some high school memories. I would deliver milk to the plant every morning before I went to school. The plant received milk from small dairy farmers in several adjoining counties. Who knew we would still have Carnation Evaporated milk today. Don’t forget to bring your team of volunteers to the Dadeville city wide clean-up Saturday, Jan.21. Meet at city hall at 8 a.m. We need your help. I hope each of you have just enough clouds in your day to give you a beautiful sunset!

Ed Shikoski is already hearing from people. “I am getting a lot of positive feed back,” Ed Shikoski of the Lake Martin Event Center at The Rodeo Club said. “She is evidently really popular.” Moon hopes to be able to bring more acts like Conlee and Shepard back to the area. “The Rodeo Club is a great venue for its size,” Moon said. “Ed and Marge are great to work with. It takes a team to put on a show like this. “The more successful we can these, the more often we can bring them to the area. We just need the

support of local people to make it happen. Tickets are available for $15 in advance at the Rodeo Club and Kowaliga Country. The will also be available at the door for $20. There are also VIP packages available. “The VIP package includes a meet and greet with Ashton, guaranteed table seating and an autographed 8x10 photograph,” Moon said. Joining Shepherd on the stage at the Lake Martin Event Center are local musicians Rexton Lee and Korey Rose.

“That will put us about $200,000 short of what we took in this year with the one cent sales tax. I don’t think that we should over burden those who support our system. If we come up $200,000 short, I think we deal with that.” Windle says the presentation for this tax will not require the work of the most recent one-cent sales tax. “He recommends to keep it low key,” Windle explained. “There is no requirement for town hall meetings. So other than talking to our people there is no requirement to get out like last time. “If it passes it would go into effect Oct. 1, 2018 and if it fails we will still have some to do the work to keep the one cent sales tax on.” Dadeville Elementary School will be getting a new roof thanks to the approval of a bid at Monday’s meeting. “We opened bids today for the roof at Dadeville Elementary,” Windle said. “The low bid was from Pierce Roofing in Prattville for $408,622. They have done work before with are architect McKee and Associates.” Windle explained that work would begin in June after the system has already met the one month’s reserve. “We are about $60,000 from making that,” Windle said. “We should have it next month.” Members of the board were recognized by Windle
and Reeltown Assistant Principal for School Board Recognition Month. “It is my honor to recognize the board,” Windle said. “It gives a great of pleasure to say thank you for what you do for the children. I applaud each of you for your commitment.” Windle also announced that the County Honor Bands would be performing at the Dadeville High School auditorium Saturday at 3 p.m. Randy Anderson was absent from the meeting. The board also: • approved minutes from the last meeting. • approved payment of bills. • approved an agreement with Dadeville Youth Sports to use the Dadeville Elementary Gym and the Councill Middle School Gym. • approved the transfer of the New Site Gym to the Town of New Site. • approved the employment of Chris Burley as a special education teacher at Reeltown, Regina Deavens as an elementary school teacher at Reeltown and Joe Milam as a computer technician. • approve the resignation of bus driver George Boothe The next meeting of the Tallapoosa County Board of Education will be Feb. 13 at 5 p.m. with a scheduled work session Feb. 7 at 5 p.m.

intersection with Concord Road, the vehicle crashed resulting in one fatality. The deputy did not see the accident.” Abbett said that the State Troopers were the lead agency in the crash investigation. Upon arriving at the scene, the deputy found that the 2000 Oldsmobile Alero, in which Dugan was a passenger, had left the road, struck a sign and overturned. Dugan, as well as the driver Amy Clampitt, 30, of Dadeville, were ejected from the vehicle. At the time of the crash, Clampitt was refusing to stop for law enforcement, according to Thornton. The crash occurred on Alabama 49 near Lester Road, approximately seven miles north of Dadeville. Although circumstances surrounding the crash are still under investigation, alcohol is believed to be a factor. Charges have not been finalized. Nothing further is available as Alabama State Troopers continue to investigate.

2017 Master Gardner Course begins Jan. 27
Scale Back E Alabama kicks off its 11th year STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
A new year is the perfect time to shed those extra pounds, and the state’s largest weight loss and physical activity competition can help you do that. Scale Back Alabama is an eight-week statewide program that encourages Alabamians to eat healthier, exercise, and have fun while doing it. Cash prize drawings are held for teams and individuals that lose at least 10 pounds, and participants receive weekly tips on ways they can improve their health. This year’s contest began with a kickoff Monday in Montgomery and a challenge from the city of Montgomery. Michael Briddell, director of public information and external affairs for the city, called out fellow city administrators and mayors to join Montgomery in participating in the contest. “In Montgomery, we are not only concerned about roads and buildings, but also about the health of our citizens,” said Briddell. “We have participated in this exciting program for many years; it’s a fun way to develop some healthy habits, and the results have been amazing. I urge all cities to encourage their staff and their citizens to participate.” Locally, Total Fitness of Russell Medical is serving as a weigh-in location. The dates for weigh-ins are: • Jan. 11 (Wednesday): 12-1 p.m. & 5-7 p.m. • Jan. 13 (Friday): 12-1 p.m. • Jan. 16 (Monday): 12-1 p.m. & 5-7 p.m. • Jan. 18 (Wednesday): 12-1 p.m. & 5-7 p.m. The contest that began with a challenge from American Idol winner Ruben Studdard in 2006 has continued to be a staple in many companies, hospitals, health departments and other organizations, with millions of pounds lost over the 11-year history. Last year, 10,826 teams of two participated, a total of 21,652 people. More than 1,000 of those teams had each team member lose 10 pounds, and there was a total of 76,485 pounds lost. The program is free, and two-member teams can register to participate at scalebackalabama. com. Participants must be 18 years of age, live in Alabama or work in Alabama, and must weigh in during the week of January 11–18 at an official weigh-in site. Public weigh-in sites are listed on the Scale Back Alabama website. Scale Back Alabama is a public awareness program sponsored by the Alabama Hospital Association, the Alabama Department of Public Health and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama.

Delphic Club Musical chairs for empty political seats begins features CRATA A presentation STAFF REPORT Delphic Club Member
The Delphic Club of Dadeville held our first meeting of 2017 on Jan. 5 at the home of Jane Milton. Ms. Milton and Mary Belser were co-hostesses for the meeting. Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home was decorated beautifully with a large, live Christmas tree and many holiday decorations for us to enjoy. Refreshments consisted of a delicious strawberry fruit pie, peanuts with hot tea and coffee to enjoy on the chilly day. Mary Belser presented the devotion. Cheryl Bynum introduced our speaker, her husband, Jerry Bynum, President of Cherokee Ridge Alpine Trail Association (CRATA). Mr. Bynum shared about the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current project, which will add trail signage and exhibits. The exhibits will share details about native plants, trees, animals, the ecosystem, and the fault lines. CRATA also has plans to place panels inside the tower. There will be panels on all four walls detailing what the visitor can see in the distance. Mr. Bynum explained that so many visitors to the area are not familiar with the vast opportunities for outdoor education and activities: where can I hike, which islands are open to visitors, can I camp on any of the islands? The group is working with Alabama Power to create a map that will show all of this information and more. Several questions were asked by the ladies of the group and all seemed very excited about the work being done by the CRATA volunteers. Members in attendance were: Mary Belser, LaNell Black, Tamara Byal, Cheryl Bynum, Barbara Cole, Barbara Cunningham, Jane Ferguson, Raphelia Forbus, Sharon Gaither, Helen Harbber, Tammy Hathcock, Jane Milton, Martha Perry, Whitney Rice, Wanda Ryals, Elaine Toney, Donna Vargo, Gale Walker and Jenny Winsor Our next meeting will be held on Feb. 2 at the First United Methodist Church in Dadeville.

labama is going to fare wall under President Trump. There is an old adage that says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those that bake the pie get to eat it.â&#x20AC;? We truly baked the pie for Trump. We overwhelmingly supported him in the GOP primary and helped him secure the nomination. We then gave him one of the largest mandates in the nation in the November general election. Trump is returning the favor. He has nominated our own Jeff Sessions for attorney general. His confirmation hearings begin this week. In addition, speculation is that Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bill Pryor is on a very short list to be named to the U.S. Supreme Court by Trump to fill the vacancy on the court of the late Antonin Scalia. Pryor is a former Alabama attorney general, who currently sits on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. Pryor is only 54. He served as Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney general from 1997-2004. He was the youngest state attorney general in the country at that time. He was appointed to the federal bench in 2005 by President George W. Bush. During his 11 years on the federal bench he has rendered a sterling conservative record. Pryor and Sessions have amazingly similar backgrounds. Both call Mobile their native home. Both were attorney general of Alabama. Both have impeccable archconservative
philosophies and pedigrees. They are kindred spirits and good friends. That is probably why Pryor is on Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s short list for the High Court. Most of the frontrunners to win the open Sessions Senate seat have avoided Bentleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment. So how is the race shaking out to fill Sessionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; seat? The frontrunner out of the gate is Attorney General Luther Strange. Big Luther has run three successful statewide races and is sitting on over 50 percent statewide name recognition. Furthermore, he is dedicated to running and has been for 20 years. He spent the first 20 years of his professional career lobbying in Washington for Sonat. He came home 20 years ago to run for a secondary statewide office and lay the groundwork to get back to Washington as a U.S. Senator. He has been biding his time for his buddies Sessions and Shelby to retire or move on. When Sessionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appointment became imminent, Big Luther hit the ground running and has been raising money for 2018 for two months. The other statewide elected officials will probably not join the 2018 Senate fray.

Secretary of State John Merrill has a good future. He is 53 and will probably run for reelection or maybe lieutenant governor. PSC President Twinkle Cavanaugh will probably run for lieutenant governor or maybe governor. It is uncertain what State Treasurer Young Boozer will do. However, his tentativeness has probably left him out of the Senate race. Agriculture Commissioner John McMillan is running for governor. State Auditor Jim Ziegler will run for governor, attorney general or reelection. Roy Moore is the favorite to win the 2018 governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race. Congressman Robert Aderholt would be the best qualified to run and succeed Sessions. He and Sessions went to Washington together 20 years ago. However, his 20 years of seniority in the House has placed him in a powerful congressional leadership position. He is poised to be chairman of the U.S. House Appropriations Committee. His move to being a freshman Senator would be a lateral move. Alabama and his district would be best served by his staying in the House. Mobile and Baldwin County folks believe that they deserve the Senate seat since Sessions is a Mobilian. There are three potential candidates from the Port City/Gulf Coast region. Former Congressman Jo Bonner is not going to run. Current Congressman Bradley Byrne would have the
TV, RADIO & SATELLITE SERVICE
best chance to win among all the potential Mobile candidates. He was almost elected governor. However, Byrne is probably not going to leave his safe congressional seat. He likes it and is good at it. State Senator Trip Pittman from Baldwin County is in the race and is running hard. If he continues to be the only major horse from that area in the race and it becomes a crowded field he may be in a runoff. Speaking of regionalism, look at a horse from Huntsville to enter the race. If there is one primary candidate from the Tennessee Valley they will be a player. Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle may pivot and move from the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race to the Senate. Folks in that area have always been more interested in national politics than state politics because of the Redstone Arsenal. State Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh of Anniston seems very interested in this open U.S. Senate seat. He has sought the Bentley appointment. However, being a powerful state Senator does not translate into statewide name identification. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading political columnist. His weekly column appears in over 60 Alabama newspapers. He served 16 years in the state legislature. Steve may be reached at www. steveflowers.us.

First Presbyterian Church News: I attended services at the Presbyterian last Sunday morn, and had a great time. Rev. Ben’s sermon was titled “The Movie and the Christian Life” and it was excellent. Scriptures were from the Books of Isaiah; Psalm; Acts; and Matthew. The sermon focused on an old movie about a family headed by “Mac” who is an alcoholic. His wife, Rosalee, and two sons, no doubt had trouble with Dad occasionally. He did attend church with Rosalee, who believed in God. At the end of the movie Matt sings a beautiful Christian song: “on the wings of a pure white dove!” (The movie had a happy ending!) Red Ridge Methodist Church News: The beginning of the year is starting off at a slower pace so this is good time for people to ponder how their year will be. The
following quote will give all a chance to think about the new beginning. “Practice the Pause, when is doubt, pause, when angry, pause, when tired, pause, when stressed, pause and when you pause pray.” Sunday School meets at 8:30 a.m. and worship at 9:30 a.m.. The choir’s anthem will be “Savior Like a Shepherd Lead Us.” Kim Walls, choir director, has asked for names of people who might be interested in joining. Wednesday morning bible study for women starts Jan. 18. They will be studying the Minor Prophets, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi. Mark the following dates on your calendar, Jan. 29 Newcomers Luncheon and Feb. 5 the Auburn University Gospel Choir’s performance. Details to follow for both events.
