Kidnapping suspect arrested in city By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer

On Monday, Jan. 23, the Tallassee Police Department received information that a subject wanted for aggravated kidnapping was believed to be in Tallassee near the intersection of Kent Road and Tallassee Highway.

Police located the suspect and the victim in a black Kia Optima at the Marathon gas station, which is located at the intersection. Information from Georgia law enforcement also indicated that the victim of the aggravated kidnapping was still with the suspect in the car. Once investigators with the Tallassee Police Department

responded to the area and located the car, the suspect, Michael Shane Scott, of LaGrange, Georgia was taken into custody without incident. A search of Scott resulted in the recovery of a small amount of what is believed to be methamphetamine and a smoking device. Scott was arrested on charges of possession of a controlled substance and

possession of drug paraphernalia. He is facing charges in Georgia of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated stalking. Investigators without injury freed the victim, whose name is not being released. She was transported to Tallassee Community Hospital where she was evaluated and released to her family.

During Monday night’s City Council meeting, Mayor Johnny Hammock announced that Tallassee was named a 2016 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation in honor of its commitment to effective urban forest management. Tallassee achieved Tree City USA recognition by meeting the program’s four requirements. These requirements include a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. “Tree City USA communities see the impact an urban forest has in a community firsthand,” said Dan Lambe, president of the Arbor Day Foundation. “Additionally, recognition brings residents together and creates a sense of community pride, whether it’s through volunteer engagement or public education.”

THE TALLASSEE TRIBUNE

Fundraiser of Mental Health and Mental Retardation certified group homes, occupational therapy, dietician services, speech therapy and more. Like last year’s fundraiser, Boots and Bow Ties will be held in Auburn and there will be food and fun for all. “It will be at Lazenby Farms and it starts at 6:30 p.m.,” said Stephanie Weldon, resource development coordinator for The Learning Tree. “There will be a sit-down meal this year from Troubadour BBQ, silent auction, complementary beverages, live entertainment and we are giving away prizes.” Those who attend the event will exchange their ticket for a chance to win big prizes while playing casino style games. “When you come in the door with your ticket you will get $1,000 in play money and we’ll have poker tables, roulette and craps. At 9 p.m., the gaming stops and you will turn in your money. For every $500 you’ll get a ticket for the big drawing,” she said. With a number of well-known sponsors, there will be several great prizes up for grabs, as well as many items up for bid in the silent auction. “Gander Mountain is helping us. They’ve given us 2 gift cards,” Weldon said. “In the silent auction there’s a beach vacation, (Montgomery) Biscuits baseball tickets, massages, sports memorabilia signed by both Auburn and Alabama and Kinnucan’s gave a $100 gift card and a gift basket.” This is the fourth year that the Learning Tree has held this event. Last year the event generated close to $15,000 for the nonprofit organization and the hopes are to raise even more funding this year. “Last year was our third year and we grossed over $15,000 so I am hoping the fourth year will be bigger,” Weldon said. This fundraiser means a lot to The Learning Tree because without it, many of the deserving and needing children, especially the preschool-aged

children, would not be able to get the support they need from The Learning Tree and it’s dedicated staff. “We are nonprofit,” Weldon said. “We do get funds for the residential school that helps the kids that stay with us. Their parents don’t have to pay a dime for them to be here. The preschool, it doesn’t get the funding. It gets a little funding from the Department of Education, but we count mostly on donations and raising funds for it.” The preschool program is designed to steer children into a regular classroom setting, rather than a residential school that he or she would have to live in. “The earlier that they get the therapy that they need, the more likely the chance of going into mainstream classroom, with little problems,” she said. “We’re trying to prevent them from having to come to the residential school so they can stay with their parents.” With no known cause, the number of children with autism continues to climb. While there is no cure, there are some very beneficial treatments, which can make a great difference in an autistic child’s life. “Autism is soaring right now,” she said. “The statistic is 1 in 68. They don’t know what causes it but there are a lot of therapies available. There’s speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy will help a lot too. At the preschool, we have peer models and that helps a lot too. They see how a typically developed child usually does in a classroom setting,” This fundraiser has been a group effort. Together, parents and The Learning Tree staff have worked hard to coordinate this fundraising event. “Lots of reaching out and the preschool parents help a lot,” Weldon said. Weldon said now is the time to purchase tickets for this event. For more information call Weldon at 334415-9372 or email at sweldon@learningtree.org.

Classic show choirs that compete and solos,” said Jessica Day, choir instructor at Tallassee High School. “The two top soloist will perform for everyone.” This event will draw thousands of people. “In all we’ll have close 5,000 people who will be coming in and out that entire weekend,” Day said. Tallassee is hosting this year’s competition. “We started in 2009,” she said. “We use it as a fundraiser. It takes a lot of people to put it on.” Professional instructors join in to help with the competition. Day believes it is the freshness of this competition that sets it apart from the others, as well as the broad reach of students it touches. “This is one of the newer competitions,” she said “We’ve had great opportunities to perform at fantastic venues. Our group loves to host it. They get to meet everyone from the different schools and make those connections.” Tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for elementary

Trees provide multiple benefits to a community when properly planted and maintained. They help promote the visual appeal of a neighborhood, increase property values, reduce home cooling cost, remove air pollutants and provide wildlife habitat, among many other benefits. Tallassee is one of more than 3,400 Tree City USAs, with a combined population of 140 million. The Arbor Day Foundation sponsors the Tree City USA program in partnership with the U.S Forest Service and National Association of State Farmers.

THE TALLASSEE TRIBUNE

Federal government transition and the 'Nero' syndrome I

t’s a sign of the uncertain times in which we live: The relentless vitriol that was part of the recent presidential campaign has cascaded into the government transition phase. One would think that average Americans would have gotten sick and tired of the rhetoric (from both sides), regardless of how they voted. However, considering the ongoing, now-postinauguration lack of civility without considering the post-election days of a presidency is putting the cart before the horse, even if the election results were a landslide (which certainly wasn’t the case in 2016). One wonders what has gone through the minds of sitting presidents when their time is coming to an end. Usually, the chief of state is watching his eight years in office wind down, but there is also the possibility that the president, running for a second term,

The So-Called Column By Willie G. Moseley has been voted out of office. And such introspection by a chief executive may actually start before election day if a president is in his second term. In the fall of 2008, it was the perception of many observers that that then-president Bush wasn’t doing much about September’s potentially-catastrophic stock market collapse. Words of reassurance or proposals to fix the freefall just didn’t seem to be emanating from the White House. Of course, Democrats diligently exploited this aloof/“Nero” characterization as exemplary of all Republicans, and such an associative strategy may have influenced how some folks voted in the ’08

election. Fast forward eight years to last fall. The president was being derided by his critics for having a laissezfaire attitude about some issues—Syria comes to mind— for the bulk of his tenure, so nothing really seemed to change about those particular controversies during the campaign or in the ensuing transition period. …which made it kind of curious that during the last few days of his administration, President Obama apparently approved military action that took out beaucoup would-be terrorists. Then there are the last-minute pardons and sentence commutations, some of which have generated controversy and partisan reactions. These decisions could also have sort of an “emperor” connotation, since they could be compared to the actions of an autocrat (albeit elected). Bill Clinton’s last-

minute pardon of fugitive Marc Rich is exemplary, as is George W. Bush’s sentence commutation of lawyer Scooter Libby. It needs to be pointed out, however, that Libby hadn’t even gone to prison yet. Moreover, Bush’s commutation wasn’t during transition following the 2008 election but it did happen during his second term; i.e., W was still in lame duck status. But the recent commutation of the prison sentence of convicted spy Bradley/Chelsea Manning was outrageous to many average Americans. The point needs to be made that Manning’s illegal actions placed people in harm’s way and threatened the security of this nation, so it’s no wonder that a lot of Americans have branded Manning as a selfrighteous traitor. As I understand it, presidential pardons and commutations can’t be reversed, so supporters of the new adminis-

tration shouldn’t expect some kind of attempt to reverse Manning’s upcoming release. There are, however, differences in the rights of someone who has been pardoned vs. the rights of someone who has, in effect, gotten early parole (even though they never went to prison). But who wants to keep paying attention to Manning’s travails? And the post-election complaining and whining noted in a column a few weeks ago has continued into the post-inaugural phase. However, the President’s pretentious Twitter tirades also kept a-rollin’ almost right up until he was inaugurated. The so-called boycott of the inauguration by Democratic members of the House? Most of them are in “safe” districts regarding their reelection prospects, so that recent action is as specious, irrelevant and sanctimonious as their sit-in on the House floor was last June.

One thing I hope the new administration realizes is that most of us average folks are not only sick and tired of politics-as-usual, we’re also tired of powermongering-as-usual… and a disproportionate amount of such machinations are also partisan, so that’s two repulsive peas in a pod. The new President’s inaugural speech was blunt to the point that it was dissed by some reporters as referencing Nazism, of all things. And all most of us are going to do is monitor how government affects our lives for the next four years, then vote accordingly. Ideally, the new administration ought to have every decent American’s wish for success, but who thinks that’s going to happen?

eople that knew her and me have said, “I hear you’ve lost your lady friend.” For the people that knew her, we didn’t lose her. We know exactly where she is. When I was very young five years was a big difference. For instance, if I was 10 and you were 15, that’s a big difference. Later, when I was 50 and you were 55, it didn’t really matter. I grew-up almost next door to this family. He was almost the same age as my older brother and when my brother was killed in an automobile accident we became even closer. He was kinda like a big brother to me. We fished together, he taught me to drive a car and later we built cabins side by side on Lake Martin. We worked in the mill together, we were doffing partners. His wife worked in the mill too. I went into the army and when I got back they’d moved to the country. He opened a store and she became the postmaster in Kent. There were other things that happened but

Seventeen good years The Coffee Breaker By Ronald Brantley we always remained friends. I had the opportunity to buy a farm. I moved my church membership to Bethlehem East Baptist in Kent near my home and they were already members at this church. Time went on and so did life. He had cancer and died and she became a recluse for about a year. I had the Coffeebreak Show. One day she walked in and said she wanted to talk to me. She told me that she wanted something to do with her time and could I offer any suggestions. Now, I was advertising for Mrs. Ricky Lawrence, Ricky got up bus trips. I thought this was in the line of things that would interest her. Go see Ricky, tell her that I sent you and to give you a job. She did as I suggested. I’d love to have you but I can’t afford you. “I didn’t ask for pay,” she said, “I just asked for a job.” Those two became

fast friends and this lady was as busy as you can be. In addition, she went around with me to film stories for the Coffeebreak. I started going with them on some of their trips. Tragedy hit after a while. Ricky was on a trip to Florida and became ill. She lived for just a brief period. “What am I going to do?” she asked me. “Do you know the business well enough to work up trips?” I asked her and her answer was, “I believe I could.” For the next number of years, we worked together getting up trips. We didn’t try to make a profit, just have fun. At times, we had so many wanting to go we had to carry two buses and still turned people down. We went to Savannah, Myrtle Beach, Nashville, Branson, even to Alaska and many more places. Most of these places we visited three or four times. Before her husband died she had cancer. She thought she was now cancer-free. After one trip to Dollywood, when we got home there was a message to contact her doctor. She

did and she had cancer again in a different part of her body. She wasn’t satisfied and even though I discouraged it she kept working on trips. By this time, I was getting up the trips and she went along. On one trip to the Alamo I knew she was getting weaker. “If I can’t keep up, hold my hand and pull me along,” she said. The cancer came back a third time and this time they removed most of her stomach. We started going on short trips like Mt. Chehaw, Scottsboro and local events. She fought it long and hard but the cancer won. From the day she walked in, we enjoyed 17 years. One night lately I awoke in the middle of the night and there she was. Don’t know if I was awake or dreaming. “What are you doing lady?” I asked. “I’m getting up tours,” she said, “and I need your help.” It was a great seventeen years!

Talks THE TALLASSEE TRIBUNE

Inside the Statehouse By Steve Flowers

Voters trust women more than men – even in Alabama

illary Clinton’s attempt to break the proverbial glass ceiling in American politics came up a little short. More than 100 men have been nominated for president by the nation’s political parties over the past 220 years. She was the first female to be the nominee of one of the two major parties. After Hillary became the Democratic nominee last year, former Colorado Congresswoman Patricia Schroeder, who ran for president in 1988, said it best, “It’s been the ultimate tree house with a no girls allowed sign posted on it.” Nevertheless, national studies have indicated that women still face a double standard when it comes to political campaigns. These surveys reveal that voters will support a male candidate they do not like if they believe he is qualified. However, they are less likely to support a female candidate they think is qualified unless they also like her. Therefore, it appears that for women candidates likeability is intrinsically linked to electability. However, when it comes to honesty and trustworthiness women have an enormous advantage. Voters simply trust women more than men. A poll conducted by the respected Pew Research Center revealed that 31 percent said women were more honest and ethical than men. Amazingly only three percent said men were more honest and ethical. I have observed and stated that same opinion for years. My observation when I was in the legislature was that women legislators were more honest, forthright and more diligent in their duties. Other political experts have espoused this same belief, especially when it comes to Alabama’s politics. In the 1990’s the nation’s business community brought the political guru, Karl Rove, to Alabama to help elect a pro-business state supreme court. He was successful in his endeavor. As he departed the state he left an emphatic statement, “If you want to hold the court in Republican pro-business hands, the best candidate is a conservative female Republican, preferably one who has experience as a Circuit Judge.” Voters simply trust women more and especially for judgeships. We now have a record number of women on our State Supreme Court and Courts of Appeals. There is no question that women in Alabama have an inherent advantage on the ballot in state judicial and secondary statewide races. If you put the name John Doe on a ballot against Jane Doe in Alabama and neither does any advertising and voters simply show up and vote in a secondary statewide race, Jane Doe will win every time. However, a survey conducted by the Center for Women and Politics at Rutgers University ranks Alabama 46th in the nation for women serving in the legislature. We are indeed inexplicably underrepresented by women in the state House and Senate, although today we have numerous ladies in statewide office. Kelli Wise and Lyn Stuart are premier justices on the State Supreme Court. Judges Beth Kellum and Mary Windom serve with distinction on the State Court of Criminal Appeals. Judge Terri Thomas of Cullman is outstanding on the State Court of Civil Appeals. Kay Ivey is our lieutenant governor and Twinkle Cavanaugh serves as president of the Public Service Commission. In the course of history, it has not been that long that women were given the right to vote. The 19th Amendment to the Constitution gave women suffrage. Alabama’s legislature voted to ratify the 19th Amendment in 1953. However, women began to be elected statewide in Alabama long before other so called progressive states. Beginning in the 1950s women dominated the offices of secretary of state, state auditor, and state treasurer to such an extent that they became known as “the ladies offices.” The first woman elected to a statewide office was Sybil Poole who won the Secretary of State office in 1946. She was soon followed by the legendary Agnes Baggett and then Mary Texas Hurt Garner and Melba Till Allen. These women would simply swap the posts of Secretary of State and State Treasurer after their term limits. By the time Lurleen Wallace became the first female governor in 1967, women held almost half of Alabama’s constitutional offices. It may be time for another female governor. Twinkle Cavanaugh or Kay Ivey or someone else may make the leap. We will see. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’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.

This is 'Today' on NBC

ixty-five years ago this month, the National Broadcasting Company took a chance on a unique programming idea from Sylvester “Pat” Weaver (known today as the father of actress Sigourney Weaver, but back then a young television executive). Weaver wanted to bring some seriousness into morning television. In a 1977 interview celebrating the 25th anniversary of “Today,” Weaver was confident that his instincts were correct. “The audience was already there,” he said. “[We just needed] showmanship.” Weaver did not want a rise-and-shine-andtell-jokes kind of show, although he did want a light touch. Once the show was greenlit by NBC, what he got was Dave Garroway, the first host (then called a communicator) of “Today.”

January 25, 2017 • Page 5

Bird’s Eye View By Michael Bird Garroway had worked in Chicago, but campaigned for the job as the original host of this new show. “It was made for me,” Garroway stated in the same joint interview with former NBC boss Weaver. “I deserved it,” he continued, saying that the show required its host to “know something about everything.” Since that January day in 1952, “Today” has been a fixture of daytime television. Garroway was the right man for the job, too: he could handle a three-hour live program featuring the latest Broadway stars and jazz musicians; he could believably communicate breaking news situations with the appropriate gravitas; he could joke around with co-

hosts Frank Blair, Jack Lescoulie and Florence Henderson; he could share camera time with chimpanzee mascot J. Fred Muggs. What Garroway and Weaver created set a template for not only “Today,” but all breakfast news shows that would follow in the years to come. Over the years, there have been many others who filled Garroway’s shoes. Frank McGee, Joe Garagiola, Bryant Gumbel, Jane Pauley, Tom Brokaw, John Chancellor, Deborah Norville, Barbara Walters, Ann Curry, Katie Couric, Meredith Vieira, Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie, Hugh Downs, Barbara Walters, Gene Shalit, Willard Scott, Al Roker, Carson Daly, and many more. Matt Lauer took over from Bryant Gumbel in 1997 and, with 20 years, is perhaps the longestserving of the main anchors. He has been

partnered with Katie Couric, Meredith Vieira, Ann Curry, and currently Savannah Guthrie. Al Roker has been serving as the weatherman since 1996, replacing the longserving Willard Scott. On the other end of the television schedule, Weaver created “The Tonight Show,” as well, with first host Steve Allen. Later, he was replaced by Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, and, these days, Jimmy Fallon. Who could have known in 1952 that the idea of having a smart companion over coffee would turn into a relationship between NBC and viewers that would last 65 years? “Today” has joined American families at the breakfast table every day, and shows no signs of slowing down. As it has been said before every commercial break since day one, “this is ‘Today’ on NBC.”

New friends are special, too

ecently, I wrote about the importance of old friends, and I’m not changing my tune on that. There is nothing like old friends; however, meeting new friends has its perks, too. I’m not saying we should expect immediate gratification from new friendships, but sometimes, who knows, maybe you’ll end up on a boat. I had a speaking gig in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, this past week, and that’s just where I wound up. Although it’s not the first time I’ve had an awesome experience following a gig, it is the first time I’ve ever wound up on a boat. In fact, it was a sailboat. I’ve been on a lot of boats in my life, but this was my first time ever on a sailboat. A few years ago, I had a gig for the University of Florida at an agricultural research center in the Florida panhandle. I met an elderly gentleman who invited me to his 9000 acre farm the next morning. His farm was

filled with peanuts and cotton. He took me on a tour and showed me the whole process from the ground to the combine to the finished product. I’d never seen anything like it. I had no idea what the process of either entailed, because I was only ever privy to the finished product. It’s the same thing with the boat. I’d never been on a sailboat, but all I ever imagined was the finished product—the actual sailing part. There was a lot of work that went into it before we ever went on the three-hour tour… the three hour tour. There were apparently a lot of hungry osprey in the area, because the boat was marked with their fishy presence, so we had to clean the boat before we set sail. Nobody wants to be out on a dirty boat.

The battery was dead, too. Granted it was a sailboat, but you have to have power to get out of the marina and into the bay. I never thought about that part. I just thought it magically happened. Regardless, we didn’t have a lot of wind, so we needed the battery more than usual. It was a beautiful day. We were in the mid-seventies in the second week of January. It should have been cold and miserable, but, other than the lack of wind, the weather conditions were absolutely perfect. The bay was calm as bathtub water, which made the dolphin sightings all that much better. They came within just a few feet of the boat. When we got back to the marina, we grabbed our belongings, cleaned up, and battened down the hatches before going to the local oyster bar for a fresh dozen. It really was one of those perfect days, all because of the new friends and the new relationship with

them. In spite of all the negativity in the world, there really are a lot of good people out there, so cherish the friends you have, but don’t be afraid to seek out new relationships, too. Good friends can only enhance your life. I had another gig in South Florida last year. Some of the great folks, my new friends, down there have invited me to come back to stay at their guest home. I think I need to take them up on their offer real soon. I’m noticing a pattern here. Maybe I need more gigs in Florida. There seems to be a lot of good people in The Sunshine State, but really, there are good people everywhere. Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq.

Number of lost, abandoned pets spike in first month of 2017 By REA CORD HSEC Executive Director

Found and abandoned are two words we hear far too much in our front office. Responsible pet owners who cannot keep a pet make sincere efforts to find their pet a new home and some end up having to bring them to shelters so we can try to help them. But in this first 23 days of 2017, pets found dumped, lost or abandoned are almost double those brought in by owners. For those of us who value our pets, it is unfathomable that there are people who can just take a pet out to some county road and dump them out to fend for themselves. Our dogs and cats are domesticated animals and are NOT capable of “living off the land” no matter what some may think. They depend on us for their care and wellbeing, which is why abandoning a dog or cat is not only morally wrong, but punishable as a Class A misdemeanor as cruelty to animals under the Alabama Code Section 13A-11-240(b). This code states: “the word “cruel” as used in this article shall mean: Every act, omission, or neglect, including abandonment, where unnecessary or unjustifiable pain or suffering is allowed to continue.” In just 22 days, we have taken in 99 pets that were either lost or abandoned, and given that only 12 of these pets have been reclaimed by their owners,

far too many people are using our county as a dumping ground for their pets. This also causes a problem for people who find themselves trying to avoid these pets on our roadways or who might be scared of the strange dog in their yard and is simply cruel. And while any abandonment is awful, almost all of the puppies we have taken in thus far this year were found dumped. Think of that – just taking young puppies and tossing them out on roads to contend with cars, no food, no shelter, weather and predators. Do those people truly think those puppies could survive like that? And it hurts our heart to think of those puppies that were never found and rescued by a kind person to give them a chance at life. All of us in our area shelters would much prefer an owner surrender their pets to us that they can no longer care for rather than abandon them to a potentially terrible fate. Our shelter is open for intake (for pets owned by residents of Elmore County) six days every week, Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m.-3 p.m. and we do promise to do everything in our power to find loving and committed homes for as many of our pets as we possibly can. If you have any questions about surrendering a pet or if you have found a stray or believe an animal to have been abandoned, please call us

at 334-567-3377 or email hselco@ bellsouth.net for assistance. Our shelter is located at 255 Central Plank Road (Highway 9) in Wetumpka – take Highway 231 North, turn right onto Highway 9 and we are the very first thing on the left. Make sure to stop by the shelter for our “Getting Down with the Dawgs” drawdown ticket(s) coming up fast on Feb. 18 and your chance to win $10,000! Don’t delay getting your ticket(s) as we have sold out of tickets before the event the past two years. Your $100 ticket gives you a one in 300 opportunity to win $10,000 (do NOT have to be present to win the grand prize)! Besides a chance to win big, each ticket holder and guest will also get a delicious buffet dinner, chance for door prizes, cash bar and so much more. “Getting Down with the Dawgs” Drawdown will be at the Entertainment Center, Wind Creek Wetumpka, 100 River Oaks Drive in Wetumpka on Saturday, Feb. 18. Doors will open at 5:00 p.m., cash bar opens around 5:30 p.m., dinner catered by Wind Creek begins at 6 p.m. and the drawdown starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are on sale at the shelter (see above for directions).

My retirement could come earlier than expected

had planned to work for at least a few more years. The Social Security Administration has told me that I cannot draw my full benefit until I am sixty-six and two months. I’m not quite there yet but I received some unbelievable news this week that could change everything. Unbelievably, it seems that I am about to come into several unexpected great sums of wealth! No, my rich uncle didn’t die and leave everything to me. Unfortunately, I don’t have any uncles left and to my knowledge never had one that was rich. I’m still reeling, but in one week, I was informed by three different people that I had won three different amounts, each in the millions, in sweepstakes by Coca-Cola. It seems that my email address has, and I quote, “been selected as the lucky

winner of New Year Promo 2017.” All I have to do is forward them my name, address and mobile number for my claim and more information. The very same week two different ladies, who evidently are married to the same wealthy man from Burkina Faso, are about to go on to glory and have named me as the beneficiary of their wealth! Good thing I checked my spam email or I might have missed all these life changing messages. I’m sure these were accidently flagged as junk. The really strange thing is that I didn’t know either one of these dear ladies. In fact, until I received their emails, I had never heard of either one. Both are from countries that I have never even visited. Due to lack of space, I won’t share both letters. The letters had differences, but shared

BILL KING Religion Columnist

many of the same details. Both were addressed to “Dearest Beloved.” One of the ladies lives in Mongolia and the other in Burkina Faso. Neither had passed yet, but doctors had told both they had three months left and they were rapidly declining. How sad that two wives of the same man are dying at the same time. Both came across my email contact during their personal searches. What a strange coincidence. Both ladies instructed their doctor to help them contact me. One of them wrote that she “believes me to be honest

to fulfill her wish before she dies.” She must be a little clairvoyant, since she could determine that from my email address. Both ladies were married to a Dr. Altangerel Bedger until he died in 2004. He was an exporter of gold and diamonds. One of his wives shared, and I quote, “He died after a cardiac arties operation that lasted only for four days.” My first thought was, “Bless his heart, what an awfully long time for a surgery to last.” She decided not to remarry but deposited his $10.5 million in a bank in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Now, she wants to send me all $10.5 million but I “must assure her that I will take half of my inheritance to the orphanage’s home in my country, in order for her heart to rest.” All I have to do is send her my name and bank account information in order

for the deposit to be made. She signed her letter as “Your Sick Sister in Christ, Katerina Altangerel.” Honestly, I’m not expecting to receive any winnings or my inheritance from either of the dear ladies. I am, however, full of faith that I will receive another inheritance that is waiting for me. It is “incorruptible and undefiled and does not fade away, reserved in heaven.” Dr. Bill King writes a weekly column that appears in several newspapers across Alabama. He is a director of missions in Opelika/Auburn, published author, singer/songwriter, musician, published author, and performs Christian humor as Billy Bob Bohannon (www. brobillybob.com).

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You would love to throw yourself into a group project or a brainstorming session. You probably will, yet there is a nagging responsibility that beckons you. You might not even be aware of your feelings here, but know that you will in time. Tonight: In the limelight. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) One-on-one relating requires your attention and caring. You are able to say more, but at times you might feel as if you need to hold back until you get a better lay of the land. You will come out Ă&#x201E;ne, even if you do not pull back so much. Tonight: Opt for togetherness. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Look to the long term, and tighten up a project. You might even choose go back to school to take a brush-up course in your Ă&#x201E;eld. Count on viable feedback from a close friend. Your instincts come through with an older person. Tonight: Opt for an important conversation. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Defer to a partner or loved one. Understand that this person is determined to take over and run the show. Look at your long-term desires. Detach, and you will see many possibilities. This path proves to be the right one for you. Tonight: Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Pace yourself. Know that you are human and can do only so much. Remember that nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect, not even you. A loved one makes a considerable diÉ&#x2C6;erence in your plans. You could be surprised by how good his or her advice is. Tonight: In the whirlwind of the moment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might be up for fun and games, but someone else is not. You can use every play in your book, but it probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a diÉ&#x2C6;erence or change his or her mind. Respect this person and his or her dedication. Tonight: Have a long-overdue conversation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A personal issue keeps Ă&#x2026;oating through your thoughts. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you think it would be better to handle the situation now and free yourself up to focus on what you must? You are likely to see this matter diÉ&#x2C6;erently once it is resolved. Tonight: Head home and indulge yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be less than pleased with a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comment. You also might have misunderstood or misinterpreted what he or she was trying to say. You have a way and style about you that draws in those who often say oÉ&#x2C6;-the-wall stuÉ&#x2C6;. Tonight: Hang out at home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are aware of what you need to do, but the other party involved might not see eye to eye with you. Listen to your inner voice when handling a Ă&#x201E;nancial matter that could have implications regarding your home. Tonight: Swap ideas and solutions with a loved one. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Decide what you want from a situation, and initiate a conversation. You might be delighted that you see eye to eye with a friend over the same issue, but how you arrive at your conclusions could diÉ&#x2C6;er. Reach out to a trusted adviser for some feedback. Tonight: All smiles. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Listen to news, and stay centered. You might have a great moneymaking idea, but be sure to test it out before taking any risks. You will want to speak to someone in the know who understands you, your lifestyle and how you think. Tonight: Share ideas with a loved one. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You know what you want and where you are heading. You have been working on a plan that you have held near and dear for years. You might want to test out some of your game plan on a trusted friend, as you know you will get honest feedback from him or her. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

Top, the house at 16888 Highway 280 in Dadeville caught fire after what officials believe might have been a lightning strike, claiming the life of Sue Kelly Segrest Saturday morning. Below, the burned out remains of a house on South Tallassee Street is where Elmer Crabb, 74 of Dadeville lost his life Sunday night.

Two perish in weekend fires in Dadeville Officials say weather may have been a factor in Saturday fire, Sunday blaze still under investigation By MITCH SNEED Editor

The Dadeville Police and Fire Departments are investigating their second fatal fire in as many days. Sunday night at 9:25 p.m., both departments responded to a house fire at 1863 S. Tallassee Street. Inside they found the body of 74-year-old Homer Crabb. The cause of the fire is undetermined at this time. The case is still under investigation by DPD, DVFD and the State Fire Marshal Office. No other details at this time. This is the second fire this weekend that resulted in loss of life. A Saturday morning fire in Dadeville claimed the life of a 65-year-old woman. Tallapoosa County Deputy Coroner Ken Cowart confirmed Saturday afternoon that the family of Sue Kelley Segrest, 65, of Dadeville had been notified that she had perished in a blaze

at her home at 16888 Highway 280. The initial call came in at about 7:20 a.m. as severe thunderstorms rolled through the area. While the official cause of the fire has not been determined and released, there were signs that lightning may have struck on the side of the structure. State Fire Marshal Scott Pilgreen said they are looking at the likelihood that the fire was related to the storms that rolled through the area. Officials said the victim was in found in a back bedroom of the home, having apparently been overcome by the heavy smoke as she tried to escape the blaze. The interior damage to the home, that had been going through some repairs recently, was said to be extensive. The investigation is still considered active and no additional details were available at this time. The Alabama State Fore Marshal is assisting other agencies in both investigations.

The sixth annual Heart Walk will begin at 8 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 18 and registration is $25. The walk will start at the Welcome Center in downtown Tallassee. There will be two routes offered at this year’s Heart Walk. One course is longer and has a more vigorous path. “We will start at Welcome Center and go down James Street,” said Tammy Merritt, programs coordinator at the Tallassee Recreation Center. “The walk will continue up the sidewalk parallel to Jordan Avenue then we will go back down Herd Street.” The second route will be about a mile shorter and will not include as many inclines. “If you are doing the

short walk, you can take a left back up to Welcome Center,” Merritt said. “If you are walking the long route, you will go down EB Payne to Southside Middle School. You will turn around in the parking lot at the school and come all the way back up EB Payne and end back at the welcome center.” The monies raised from this event will benefit the Tallassee Recreation Center and the American Heart Association. Last year, the event raised just over $600. In the past, a treadmill, an elliptical and weights have been purchased through this fundraiser. Not only is this fundraiser beneficial to the Tallassee Recreation Center, it is also beneficial to those who choose to be a part of this event. February is National Heart Month and Tallassee’s Heart Walk is intended to promote a healthy lifestyle.

Paint the Park for Jody Fun Run set for Feb. 4 By CORY DIAZ Staff Writer

Six high school seniors from Elmore County have received $1,000 scholarships the last two years because of overwhelming turnout for the Paint the Park for Jody 5K Color Fun Run. Supporters and runners will take their mark Feb. 4 at 9 a.m. at Gold Star Park for another opportunity to honor Jody Sanford and help two more local students in the third annual Paint the Park for Jody race in downtown Wetumpka. In tribute to Sanford, a Wetumpka High School student and cross country runner who passed away Feb. 2, 2014, all proceeds from the run go

The Swing Bed Program

to the Jody Marie Sanford Memorial Scholarship Foundation. Registration costs $40, runners can register on-site up to the start of the run and packet pick-up begins at 7:30 a.m. the morning of the 5K. The Paint Party in the Park will begin immediately after the race. The main color this year will be purple to highlight awareness for epilepsy, a neurological disorder Sanford suffered from. Each runner will receive a goody bag with a race T-shirt, sunglasses and a bag of paint. Jody’s Way, a popular shorter, twomile route supporters can run or walk, returns this year for the event. Baby strollers, wagons, carts as well as dogs are welcome to join.

Tigers edge Dawgs in 2OT thriller, fall to rival panthers By CORY DIAZ Sports Editor

Tallassee’s past two area contests showed how the team could best bottle up scoring point guards. While they gave up a combined 61 points to Holtville’s Brant Evans and Elmore County’s Tyric Belyeu, the Tigers split the Class 4A, Area 5 games, coming back to down HHS, 89-86, in double overtime on the road Thursday before losing big, 75-44, to ECHS the next night at home. The loss to the Panthers eliminated any chance THS had of hosting the area tournament. Tallassee (8-13, 5-3) limited Evans in the first half to just 8 points, but the Bulldog senior exploded for 32 points from halftime on. “We feel very blessed because he had (40) points,” Tigers boys basketball coach Cecil Hollinquest said. “He’s a great player, very smart and we threw different defenses at him. He put his team on his shoulders, and we were fortunate enough to hang in there with them, got a score here and there. We got a turnover at the end and was able to go up four points.” Drew Coker provided the spark for Tallassee, trailing 66-58 with 1:53 left in regulation at HHS. The junior shooting guard, who led his team with 21 points,

scored nine straight points, pulling the Tigers within one with 1:04 left. In the first extra period, Coker tied the game at 76 on a three-pointer with :25 remaining, sending the game to double overtime, where Tyler Winchester netted five of THS’s last 10 points to win. For the second night in a row, Coker stayed hot, sinking six threes against the Panthers to pace the Tigers with 18, but they couldn’t orchestrate much offense otherwise. Belyeu notched a game-high 21 points to lift Elmore County to victory. “Drew’s playing great for us. When he’s on, we’re good,” Hollinquest said. “We have to have all the components working – it’s kind of like a car. If you don’t have four tires ready to roll, we’ll have a problem. He was the component that kept us in both games. “We score 89 one night, and you’d thought we at least would hit our scoring average, but we weren’t able to turn it around. Some of our shots didn’t fall.” At best, the Tigers will end up the second seed for the Area 5 boys basketball tourney after the loss to ECHS. Regardless of where his team ends up, Hollinquest said it won’t matter. “In our area, on any given night, anybody can be beat. That applies to one through five,” he said. THS returns to action Thursday, traveling to B.B. Comer. Cory Diaz / The Tribune

Purple Tigers beat Dadeville . . . again STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

The Tallassee boys entered the Dadeville gym 3 -2 in the area behind the 4 - 2 Black and Gold Tigers and needed a win to contend for a chance to host the area tournament. Through hard work and perseverance, the Purple Tigers achieved that goal. The battle went back and forth the entire game. Dadeville led 29 - 28 at the half, but Tallassee went on a 18 - 13 run to close out the third quarter. Tallassee would take that four-point lead and ice the game, although Dadeville had its chances. The Tigers shot 40 freethrows, but only made 16. Tallassee had four players in dou-

Is Chip Lindsay the right man for the job?

his past Saturday the Auburn Tigers officially announced the hiring of Chip Lindsay to the position of offensive coordinator. Lindsay comes to the Plains from Arizona State where he spent last season in the same position for the Sun Devils. He also spent one season as QB coach at Troy, two seasons as OC for Southern Miss and a number of successful years as a high school coach in Georgia and Alabama. Despite rumors of a power struggle behindthe-scenes between Malzahn and certain Auburn powerbrokers, it appears Gus Malzahn ended up with the coach he wanted. I don’t have any doubt there’s a kernel or two of truth to those rumors, but I also believe things like that tend to be overblown. Since when did 10 days constitute an eternity of time in a college football coaching search? To be honest, that falls in line with Malzahn’s history. It was 12 days before Gus announced Will

Muschamp as a ANDY GRAHAM Sports Columnist

replacement for Ellis Johnson. Then when Muschamp left to go to South Carolina, it was nearly a month before Kevin Steele was hired as DC. In both cases, it was rumored that several top assistants had turned down Malzahn’s offer. Perhaps, Gus simply does his due diligence on his own time schedule and then makes the best decision possible. On second thought, that makes way too much sense to be true. I said last week my hope was that Malzahn would hire a proven quarterback developer and someone known for his passing offense. That description falls perfectly in line with Chip Lindsay. The offenses under his direction at every stop have amassed impressive passing statistics and productive quarterbacks. Arizona State didn’t have a great year in 2016, but

they were decimated by injuries so it’s not a fair assessment. On paper, I think it is a good hire. However, the real world is a little more complex. Auburn doesn’t need to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The Tigers’ running game is one of the best in the SEC. Lindsay simply needs to expand the existing offense and add his passing concepts to the mix. Of course, that’s easy for me to say. It won’t exactly be “simple” to seamlessly meld two different strategies into one cohesive unit overnight. I guess it’s a good thing he’ll have the entire spring and fall camp to work out the kinks. It’ll also be a delicate balance with the level of Gus Malzahn’s involvement. It’s still his team and he’s always going to be involved to some degree, but will he truly let Lindsay be in charge? I don’t think it will take very long to know the answer to that question. In seven years of being in charge of the Auburn offense,

Malzahn’s teams have always thrown the ball more on third down than first down. In other words, they throw it by necessity and not by choice. Lindsay’s history suggests an alternate strategy. His teams have always thrown the ball more on first down. That’s definitely something to keep an eye on in 2017. This past Saturday was a pretty good day all the way around in the Loveliest Village. Auburn defeated Alabama 84-64 at Auburn Arena in front of a capacity crowd. It was a big win for the Tigers who have struggled to start the SEC season. It appears Auburn’s young and talented team is starting to come together. I hope it’s the beginning of something special, but honestly I’ll take any opportunity to talk about a 20-point win over Alabama in any sport.

ble figures: Tyler Winchester, Travon Skipper, Jaleel Dumas and Kalvin Levett . “We had a great team effort tonight,” said Tallassee head coach Cecil Hollinquest. “We are learning to share the ball more and it doesn’t matter who has the hot hand. We are just trying to win. “Jaleel Dumas did a great job for us tonight coming off the bench and helping Travon Skipper run the offense. Our bigs are playing well with the trio of Levett, Josh Griffin, and Lincoln Oliver. We feel we are a team to be reckoned with. However, we are not there just yet. Dadeville is a good team. Well coached. We were just fortunate to win both area games against them.”
