No snow in area NWS: Delicate timing of cold and moisture was disrupted By JIMMY WIGFIELD Managing Editor
Meteorologist Jason Holmes was on time and even excited when he arrived at 4:30 a.m. Tuesday to begin his shift at the National Weather Service office in Calera. But when he started talking to those who had been working overnight, Holmes understood what any weather forecaster doesn’t want to hear — the cold air and snow he and many other specialists expected to feel and see was late. In fact, it never materialized in many areas of north and central Alabama. “We started to get indications of it from the night shift,â€? Holmes said. “I know the kids looked forward to this and those of us who are fans of winter weather did too, so we were disappointed too.â€? After ordering a precautionary day off to avoid icy roads and up to 1 inch of predicted snow, officials of Tallapoosa County and Alexander City schools said their systems will reopen today. Tallapoosa County schools will open at 10 a.m. today, with buses running approximately two hours later than usual, according to school system spokesperson Casey Davis. Central office staff will report to work at 8:30 a.m. Teachers will report to school as instructed by their principals and all athletic events will resume their normal schedules, Davis said. Superintendent Dr. Keith Lankford said Alexander City schools will reopen today on their regular schedule. Tallapoosa County Emergency Management Agency director Jason Moran said he didn’t see a single snowflake and didn’t know of anyone who had. “With all the technology available, things still happen,â€? he said. “I feel like the county was prepared on the whole.â€? The culmination of four days of consistent predictions of snow came with streets in most areas more spritzed than sodden, which quickly dried under sunshine and northerly breezes. The timing of frigid air and See WEATHER • Page A5

L
ocal historian Bill Ponder was honored with the Laeman Butcher Lifetime Achievement Award by the Dadeville Chamber of Commerce at its annual awards banquet last week. Ponder is well-known around Dadeville but few know he is a native and has been successful at many things. “He never missed a day of school,â€? the chamber’s G.W. Warren said. “He was voted most likely to succeed. He has degrees in pharmacy and horticulture.â€? See AWARDS • Page A3

Also selected to four-year terms this cycle were Terry Martin as vice chair, outgoing president Denise Bates as secretary and Carol Sellers as treasurer.

Obituaries Jerry Walker Bynum III 1992 - 2019 A Celebration of Life Service for Jerry Walker Bynum III, 26, of Jacksons Gap, Alabama will be Friday, February 1, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. at the Dadeville First United Methodist Church. Rev. Michael Carver and Steve Davis will be officiating. A visitation will be held Thursday, January 31, 2019 from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at the Dadeville First United Methodist Church. Walker passed away on Saturday, January 26, 2019. He was born on September 24, 1992 in Opelika, Alabama to Jerry Walker Bynum Jr. and Cheryl Magoni Bynum. He was a member of Dadeville First United Methodist Church and the Central Alabama Emmaus Community. He was a 2011 Dadeville High School Graduate, Faulkner State Community College Graduate, and attended Auburn University. He was scheduled to join the United States Air Force. Walker lived life to the fullest and had a very precious free spirit which he shared with many friends, teammates, schoolmates, coaches, and teachers. He always lived life on the edge; whether mountain hiking or climbing, wakeboarding, snowboarding, playing ball, surfing, fishing or exploring the outdoors; he was there! He loved to shoot guns and fireworks and to light bon fires. Walker never met a stranger. His love for people was on the edge of his sleeve and he would take the shirt off his back for someone in need. Walker was a very loving and protective brother and son. He loved God and he was always willing to share his testimony with others. Walker had a “one of a kind” sense of fashion and one would never know what he would be wearing when. He owned more miss matched socks that anyone on earth. He was Walker! He is survived by his parents, Jerry Walker Bynum Jr. and Cheryl Magoni Bynum; sisters, Brannon Lee Bynum and Baxlee Alicia Bynum and his grandmother, Marilyn Brannon Magoni. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Rev. Jerry Walker Bynum and Permeillia Harris Bynum and his grandfather, John Charles Magoni.

The chamber’s Kurt Pfitzner added, “Bill Ponder made Dadeville not just a little better but a lot better. He served on the hospital board, was a founding member of the beautification committee, started a recycle center, helped start the humane society. He is an active member of the Tallapoossee Historical Society. He is responsible for most of the historical markers in Dadeville. He even put in some of his money to have some of them installed.” Ponder humbly accepted the award. “I am the one no one has probably never heard of,” Ponder said. “I am most likely to be found in the library reading books. I feel so inadequate — just to be named in the same sentence with Mr. Butcher is great.” The award is named after longtime Dadeville businessman Laeman Butcher and is given by Butcher’s
daughter Karen White. The name of the award was changed to the Laeman Butcher Award to reflect the lifetime of community work Butcher did in the community and to reflect the lifetime of work its winners did to get the award. The first winner of the award was chamber president Michael Carter. Cheryl Haggerty received the Citizen of the Year award for her efforts in establishing the local art guild, restarting the Dadeville tree lighting ceremony and for starting the Raining Dogs Art Gallery on Tallassee Street behind the courthouse in Dadeville. Chuck’s Marina, owned by Jane and Greg Harris, received the Business of the Year award. Warren said the owners and business have been involved in the community for a long time. “The Dadeville Area Chamber of

Commerce is delighted to honor two great individuals for all that they do for our business community, the city of Dadeville and Lake Martin area,” Warren said. “Greg and Jane Harris are great contributors to the overall success of the Lake Martin area in addition to their numerous charitable contributions throughout the area.” In addition to honoring businesses and individuals, the chamber
awarded the proceeds from the annual Hometown Christmas Parade to Dadeville Elementary and the proceeds of the Denim and Diamonds Ball to the Lake Martin Event Center. The center has hosted the event for seven years. Carter swore in board members for their yearlong term in front of almost 200 chamber members and guests at White Acres in Camp Hill.

This is America today
Pets need to P be protected in cold weather A
re you cold when you step outside during this weather? When you have to put gas in your car and stand at the pump with the harsh, cold wind blowing on you, isn’t it miserable? Aren’t you thrilled the moment you step back into your heated home? These are questions you need to keep in mind this winter if you have pets outside. Put yourself in their paws for a minute and realize how brutal cold weather can be for an animal. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, cats and dogs should be kept inside during cold weather. It’s a common belief dogs and cats can tough out the cold better than humans can because they have fur and, according to the AVMA, it’s not true. Just like us, they are susceptible to frostbite and hypothermia in freezing temperatures. If left outdoors for too long in freezing temperatures, pets can freeze, become disoriented, lost, stolen, injured or killed, according to the ASPCA. Check your dog or cat’s paws frequently for signs of coldweather injury, such as cracked pads or bleeding. The AVMA also recommends getting your pet checked out at the vet to make sure it doesn’t have arthritis or anything that would be even more bothered by the cold. Get your animal a coat or sweater when you take it on a walk. Don’t you like to have a coat on when you’re outside? Additionally, just like in the summer, cars can be dangerous for animals. If you leave them alone in a car during the winter, it can be dangerous as cars act as refrigerators that hold in the cold and can cause animals to freeze to death. Plus, cats like to crawl up into the hoods of cars because the engine keeps them warm, and this can be deadly for them. At the very least, make sure your outdoor pets have shelter. Bedding should be thick and dry and changed after it rains. Protect your pets and remember, if you’re cold, they’re cold.

resident Trump ended the partial government shutdown last Friday until Feb. 15. Hopefully, he and Congress can make a deal before Feb. 15 to strengthen border security and keep the government open. Earlier that morning, 29 heavily armed federal agents in 19 vehicles with flashing lights, including two armored vehicles, arrested a pajama-clad and shoeless Roger Stone and raided his home before dawn. Stone has been charged with lying to Congress. Mueller’s team knows Stone’s passport has expired and he is no flight risk. Nevertheless, when Stone answered the front door, he faced the barrel of an assault weapon and was brought outside and handcuffed while CNN covered the raid with their cameras. Later that day, Stone appeared in court and was released on his own recognizance. On Friday, Jan. 11, The New York Times headline read, “F.B.I. Opened Inquiry Into Whether Trump Was Secretly Working on Behalf of Russia.” Unnamed sources cited in the story claimed, “Agents also sought to determine whether Mr. Trump was knowingly working for Russia….” What is it with Friday news? Late Thursday night, Jan. 17, just in time for Friday news, BuzzFeed posted this: “President Trump Directed His Attorney Michael Cohen
DANIEL GARDNER Columnist To Lie To Congress About The Moscow Tower Project.” America’s leftwing Trumphaters went apoplectic claiming “the smoking gun” and “final nail in the coffin.” Later that day Mueller’s team released a rare public statement rebutting BuzzFeed’s claim: “BuzzFeed’s description of specific statements to the Special Counsel’s Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s Congressional testimony are not accurate.” If that were not enough fake news for a Friday, a group of high school boys from Kentucky got caught up in a national scandal, i.e. fake news. Covington Catholic High School sponsored a field trip to the March for Life in Washington. Ordinarily, Catholic teens attending the national March for Life would not be news. But, these are not ordinary times. America’s left continuously looks for any semblance of “news” for Trump-haters. The teenaged boys represented nearly everything the left hates: white, male, Christian, Catholic, pro-life and wearing MAGA hats. Talk about
making yourself a target and inviting vile hatred and expletive-filled rhetoric that has become mainstream and unremarkable for lefties! The boys were waiting for their school bus in the same area where black Hebrew Israelites were verbally assaulting Native Americans with such rhetoric as “You ain’t no child of God. You are the Indian. You are a blue-eyed demon. That’s the last Mohican.” The attackers were using a bullhorn, thus attracting a lot of attention, especially from curious teens on a high school field trip. That’s when the attackers turned their attention to the boys, shouting racist insults. One of the Native Americans stepped between the boys and the black Hebrew Israelites to try to keep the peace. Selected video of one of the boys facing the Native American went viral. For the rest of the day, without knowing what actually happened, the left brutally, bitterly and hatefully launched an unrestrained attack on the boys in the national media and social media. This is America today. Daniel L. Gardner is a syndicated columnist who lives in Starkville, Mississippi.

Technology invades daily life “I
feel like a 90-yearold man trapped in the future.” My friend and I are standing in a hotel where so much technology is baked into the place you would swear you were standing in the cargo bay of Stanley Kubrick’s classic movie “2001: A Space Odyssey.” We are not in the future, but rather a mainstream hotel off a generic highway exit 30 minutes north of Fort Worth, Texas. Blink and you would miss it. “I can’t even figure out how to turn the lights on and off in my room,” he said. There are moments when we realize the world is relentlessly marching forward, leaving us increasingly behind, holding on by only our fingertips. We have everything from doorbells that double as video cameras to small connected devices on the kitchen counter capable of making a new television arrive on our doorstep the next day. All of this, however, can leave some, like my friend, standing in the technological dark fumbling to turn on the lights. My friend was not alone
LEONARD WOOLSEY
Columnistt in over-connected funk. “Why does my mirror in the bathroom have a power button and Bluetooth,” said another. Technology is our friend. But when it becomes a friction point, we should ask ourselves are we going too far. Pining is an old-fashioned phrase of when one romantically longs for the simpler days of when what you got was what you saw. I’ve never used the phrase — until now. The standard room greets me with an iPad device to adjust the temperature, brighten and dim lights, and speakers built into the mirrors. My keycard is required to operate the elevator, and I won’t be surprised if they ask me for my Amazon password when I go to check out. I can feel my fingernails coming into play. I pine for a key that fits in a slot to open my door.
I pine for a light switch I can feel with my hand as I fumble across the room in the dark. And I pine for a mirror that does one thing well — let me know whether my shirt is tucked in before I head out the door. I pine for a rental car that does not ask my name, ask to connect to my cell phone and requires the keys to be stuck into the dashboard. My friend shakes his head as we get ready to part. His frustration reminds me of the time my 90-year-old dad traded in his flip phone for an iPhone. “I want to talk to the Google,” he said. Holding it in his hand like a delicate flower, he stared at it wondering where to begin. The same feeling came over me holding the small touchscreen in the hotel room. I did not know where to start, what to do or how to get something to happen. I was, pardon the pun, left standing in the dark. All I could do was walk back in the elevator and ask HAL to open the pod doors. Leonard Woolsey is the president and publisher at The Daily News in Galveston, Texas.

Ivy Creek gathers, remembers patients Photos by Cliff Williams / The Record Many gathered to pray for the families of the 39 patients who passed away in 2018 in Tallapoosa County who were treated by Ivy Creek Hospice. Ivy Creek invited the families to the Lodge at Creekside in Dadeville on Sunday for a memorial service for the families so all could share memories of their loved ones. Far left: Ivy Creek Hospice marketing and volunteer coordinator Bridget Thornell lights a candle in memory of the 39 patients who passed away while being served by the company in 2018.

Weather moisture unraveled overnight and in the South, forecasters said, timing is especially delicate. The moisture arrived sooner than expected and the cold air was delayed. In the Heart of Dixie, forecasters are prepared for scorn when snow doesn’t fall after they said it might. “That’s in the back of our minds,” Holmes said. “We try our best to get it right and some of these people take it personally. Obviously it’s frustrating but you always keep learning. You never learn enough. We’re just grateful there weren’t any major road impacts.” But Holmes said conditions are more favorable than usual for snow in Alabama for the remainder of the winter. “We have had a weak El Nino in place since
continued from Page A1 the middle of last year,” he said. “The result has been that we’ve been a lot wetter than normal. If we continue to have the weak El Nino in the winter, and it seems we might, February and March are usually the better months for winter weather and the Gulf waters get a chance to cool down more. The weak El Nino makes the conditions more favorable for more Gulf lows.” That was another difference with Tuesday’s system — the chance of snow behind a cold front instead of a low-pressure system slogging north from the Gulf of Mexico. “Usually, the big snow event here comes from a Gulf low and it’s already freezing,” Holmes said. “All that moisture streams up and you get snow. This was more of a clipper system. We didn’t think we’d have a whole lot of
moisture with it.” The ground also didn’t have a chance to cool sufficiently to make any snow that fell stick, Holmes said. “When you had ground temperatures in the 40s, the snow has got to come down heavy enough to overcome that,” he said. “The timing of the cold air and the moisture was not lining up. The lowlevel cold air seemed to struggle getting here and the precipitation started two hours earlier than we expected, so it ended earlier than we expected too.” Holmes said areas of Blount County, which
is 105 miles northwest of Alexander City, got most of the snow, about a quarter of an inch. Up to 3 inches had been expected there, according to the NWS. Holmes said the scarcity of snow in Alabama makes it more difficult to predict but forecasters put a lot of credence in various computer models which agreed snow would fall. “We use different models and when you have multiple models agreeing on the same solution, it gives you confidence,” Holmes said. “But it just shows you the imperfection of
the science. When you go through time, and you get only one or two snow events a year, it makes it tough to predict. Just a few degrees in temperature and a little change in moisture make all the difference.” Holmes said there is a 10:1 ratio of snow to moisture in the region. “(That) means if you
took an inch of snow inside your house and melted it down, you might have a 10th of an inch of water,” Holmes said. “It’s not the same ratio everywhere, so down here, if you’re off just a 10th of an inch (predicting the amount of precipitation), that could mean you’re an inch off on your snowfall.”

GROUNDHOG DAY The United States and Canada celebrate the fun holiday that is Groundhog Day on February 2. On this day, tradition states that if the groundhog sees his shadow when he emerges from his home and is scared back into his dwelling, then Winter will last for six more weeks. If he is not scared by his shadow, Spring is set to come. This holiday’s origins go back as far as the Roman Empire and began in North America around 1886. Soldiers in the Roman Legion would make the same prediction with a similar animal, the hedgehog. If the hedgehog cast a shadow, then what the Romans called “the second Winter” would start. The most famous of the weather-predicting groundhogs lives in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and goes by the name Punxsutawney Phil. His home, or burrow, in Pennsylvania is called Gobbler’s Knob. Phil was featured in the popular 1993 movie, Groundhog Day. There have been several other famous groundhogs that have “predicted” the weather over the years.

Hamilton said the group has 30 active members. “I want to see us become more visible in the community,” Hamilton said. “We want to have more participation in the community.” Hamilton said he wants to add a cookout in May to attract new members and continue the program last fall that featured Col. Oliver North’s appearance at The Mill
Two Eighty. Bates, Martin and fellow Tallapoosa County GOP member Joseph Fuller previously won election to the state’s Republican executive committee. “We have a few plans in place to grow the county party in numbers and in candidates,” Hamilton said. “I look forward to working with the officers, committees and members as we reach our goals.”
Hamilton said Tallapoosa County is solidly behind President Donald Trump’s agenda. “He is solidifying his base and a lot of voters in the county are his base,” Hamilton said. “People like that he seems to be a straight shooter and he’s trying to fulfill his campaign promises.” For more information on the Tallapoosa County Republican Party, call 334-325-3595 or email tallagop@outlook.com.

Reeltown’s annual Miss Valentine Pageant is scheduled for Feb. 16 at Reeltown Elementary School’s gym. According to pageant director Jennifer Jarvis, it’s one of the longest-running pageants in the Reeltown area. “It has been around for decades,” she said. “We had this pageant when I was in school. And it had been going on years before that.” This year, the Miss Valentine Pageant will consist of 12 age divisions for girls from birth up to sixth grade. “Girls will compete for the crowns and a variety of other awards,” Jarvis said. There are no residency restrictions; contestants can reside from Reeltown and all surrounding communities. Pageant time will be divided into two schedules, with newborn through kindergarten beginning at 10 a.m. and girls in grades 1-6 at 2 p.m. Registration is set for Feb. 2 from 10 a.m. until noon in the Reeltown band room, which is adjacent to Nix-Webster-O’Neal Stadium. Feb 2. is also the deadline to enter the pageant. The basic fee to enter is $35, which includes one free admission and a photo package, Jarvis said. Sibling discounts are available and optional categories will have additional charges. General admission is $4 per session the day of the event. “You may sign up before registration day by submitting applications found at either of Reeltown School’s main offices or on the link posted on the Reeltown Valentine Pageant Facebook page,” Jarvis said. For more details, contact pageant directors Tammy Merrett at 334-415-9939 or Jarvis at 334415-3635.

POSTSEASON LOOMS Area tournaments set for local hoops teams
By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
Both Dadeville’s boys and girls basketball teams have been rewarded for their hard work this season, as they both earned the right to host the Class 3A Area 7 tournament next week. Dadeville’s boys finished undefeated in the area with their only loss coming against Randolph County by just one point. Aside from that, the Tigers were unblemished in area play. They’ll take on Beulah in the first round Wednesday; they easily swept Beulah in the regular season by scores of 80-53 and 69-53. On the girls side, the Tigers also went 5-1 in area play during the regular season. Their only loss was to Beulah, 44-37, but they also beat the Bobcat, 42-37, in early December. Dadeville will take on Randolph County in the first round, a team it beat by a combined score of 88-50 during two regular season meetings. The 3A Area 7 championships are set for Friday night. As predicted at the beginning of the season, Benjamin Russell will head back to Opelika for the second year in a row. The Wildcats are now in Class 6A Area 6, which the Bulldogs swept in both girls and boys. Benjamin Russell will face off against Russell County in both tournaments, during which the girls should have an incredibly good shot. The BRHS girls easily swept Russell County in both regularseason meetings; they won, 67-46, in the first meeting, and 63-32 in the second. But should the Wildcats complete the three-game sweep, they’ll struggle with Opelika. The Bulldogs beat Benjamin Russell, 63-42 and 64-43, during the regular season, as the Wildcats struggled with Opelika’s pressure in both meetings. Those scores were the lowest Benjamin Russell scored against any opponent this
season except Sidney Lanier, against which it was missing starting point guard Aaliyah Thomas. On the boys side, the Wildcats may have a tougher time getting through Russell County. The Warriors narrowly won the teams’ first meeting, 70-67, before Benjamin Russell turned the tables on them for a 60-54 victory just two weeks ago. Like the girls, Benjamin Russell’s boys were swept by Opelika. In Class 2A, Central Coosa will host the Area 8 boys tournament while Reeltown will host the girls tourney. Coosa went undefeated in area and will be the obvious favorites to win the tournament. The Cougars outscored their area opponents by a combined score of 396-233, but Thorsby could give them a run for their money after narrowly falling to Coosa, 55-52, in early File / The Record January. The closest contest for Coosa in area play other than Dadeville’s Jay Patrick (10) puts up a shot against Central Coosa’s Jovon Richardson earlier this season. The that was a 61-40 victory over Tigers will host their Class 3A Area 7 tournament starting Wednesday. Reeltown in December.

Reeltown’s Trey O’Neal commits to Tuskegee By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
While a lot of attention has been surrounding Reeltown junior Eric Shaw and his recruiting process, he’s not the only Rebel headed to the next level. Wednesday, Reeltown senior Trey O’Neal announced his commitment to Tuskegee University to play at outside linebacker. “The biggest factor to me really was just my relationship with the coaches
who recruited me,” O’Neal said. “Coach (Forrest) Jackson, coach (Will) Slater and coach (Joseph Carter), they really showed me they wanted me there. I also just felt like it was necessary for me to stay close to home just because I would feel more comfortable being close to home.” Both Tuskegee and West Alabama were Division II programs showing interest in O’Neal, who is also one of the top players for the Rebel basketball team. O’Neal said he also had interest

But after a long, strenuous process, O’Neal is happy to have made his final decision. “Honestly, it’s stress relieving because it was a long process,” he said. “There were times in the process where I wasn’t too sure about what I wanted to do.

Dadeville’s Jordan Ford (22) takes a shot against Benjamin Russell’s Jaaliyah Caldwell on Saturday afternoon.
Wildcats easily take control in victory over Dadeville girls By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
It was business as usual for Benjamin Russell’s girls basketball team on Saturday afternoon. The Wildcats held Dadeville off the scoreboard for more than five minutes to begin the game and built up a big advantage by the end of the first quarter. From there, they never looked back and earned a 55-27 victory in non-area action. With only a week left in the regular season, the Wildcats are focusing on developing some depth but it’s been tough to do so as they haven’t faced much excruciating competition. All but one of the Wildcats’ wins have come by at least 20 points, but on the flip side, their losses have come by 19 points or more. “I know I won’t be able to play all of them in the postseason,” Benjamin Russell coach Latreisha Moon said. “But I still think they just have to keep working hard. We have to continue to focus and continue to work hard. I’m not trying to look past Opelika, but we need to get ready for the team after them. I’m really trying to get Mia (Graham) and (Timira Lawson) playing more because I’m going to need them.” Benjamin Russell got some solid minutes from its bench players, namely Jay Agee who was inserted into the starting lineup Saturday and finished with six rebounds and four points. But it was the usual suspects who did most of the damage. Jaaliyah Caldwell finished with 23 points and 12 rebounds, and Brooklyn Edwards scored 10 points and grabbed five rebounds. Bre Smith has picked up her game lately, especially in distributing the ball. She scored seven points against Dadeville but also had three assists and three steals. “I told them that everybody out there has to look to score,” Moon said. “We need everybody to look to contribute. We’ve got to have more than two people scoring.” As for the Tigers, who are still in the hunt to host their area tournament, they seemed to take a step backward Saturday against Benjamin Russell but are hoping to learn from that experience. “I don’t like that we don’t put the effort in because it doesn’t help them when they play us,” Dadeville coach Pam Holloway said. “But as far as us, it helps us with the pressure that they put on us and things that we could see when we’re playing other teams. It’s always good to play better teams. It was good for us to see some things going into our last area game.”
All season long, Benjamin Russell’s boys basketball team has been inching closer and closer to county rival Dadeville. The first meeting, the Wildcats kept it close the first half but then suffered a 14-point loss after things fell apart in the third quarter. During the BRHS Slam Fest, the teams met again and the Wildcats lost a heartbreaker by just two points. But on Saturday afternoon, Benjamin Russell put together a complete-game effort and proved that old saying, “It’s hard to beat a team three times.” The Wildcats had an eight-point run late then fended the Tigers off for a 64-51 victory. It was easily Benjamin Russell’s biggest win of the season so far, as Dadeville was ranked No. 9 in Class 3A in last week’s Alabama Sports Writers Association poll. “They’re a good basketball team and they have some players,” BRHS coach Lewis Daniel said. “They are a lower class, but their ranking says a lot for them and their basketball program. For us to have struggled all year and to pick up this particular win in the way we did and at the time we did, I think it was huge for us.” The game was nip and tuck the entire way through as the largest lead of the night for either squad was Benjamin Russell’s 10-point edge late in the game. The Wildcats led 36-31 at halftime and didn’t trail the entire second half, but there were several times Dadeville pulled it to a onepossession game. Tripp McKinley’s 3-pointer at the midway point of the fourth quarter cut the Tigers’
deficit to 52-50, but then all of a sudden, Benjamin Russell looked unstoppable. The Wildcat defense got three turnovers in a row and held Dadeville off the scoreboard for nearly two minutes. In that time, Benjamin Russell had built up a 60-50 lead and only 2:15 remained on the scoreboard. “I think we kind of lost our concentration,” Dadeville coach Jesse Foster said. “We got a little frustrated and started feeling sorry for ourselves, and we can’t do that.” Daniel said, “Our defense stepped up there. We got some key steals. We got to their shooters and got them out of their rhythm and we executed finally on some
transition baskets. Again, we hit some key free throws, and I think that made a big difference.” Jaikobee Gamble added a big spark for the Wildcats during the run. After spending most of the game on the bench, Gamble reentered and in the span of two minutes, he racked up two free throws, a layup, an assist, a steal and two rebounds. Benjamin Russell’s Cory Johnson also had one of his best performances of the season and scored a layup and a short-range jumper during the eight-point run. “That was by far his best game of the season, but that’s a good thing because we’re going into the area tournament in a couple weeks so we

continued from Page B1 added another to his resume last year with a first-place finish in the 110 hurdles. But what gets the attention of these top Division I programs isn’t just his athletic ability, which is off the charts. Many of the schools are top academic programs as well. In 2018, Forbes ranked Vanderbilt the top academic school in the Southeastern Conference and 32nd in the nation; the Commodores offered Shaw on Wednesday. And it’s not just about athletics or academics, either. What a college recruiter is really looking for is a combination of both those things as well as a player being a good human being. I’ve always been overly impressed by the studentathletes in this area; they’re polite, they’re nice; they’re
needed him to pick it up,” Daniel said. “He contributed pretty good on the boards, and I think his offensive game was good for us. That made a big difference.” It was Za Stowes who made the biggest contribution offensively for the Wildcats; he poured in 31 points. For the Tigers, Jamauri Chislom had a standout game finishing with 15 points and 15 rebounds. “Chislom has been the catalyst for us in there,” Foster said. “Every team we play, the other coach says that No. 32 is a man in there. He makes a big difference for us, and he does a good job.” PJ Eason also scored a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds.

Despite being just a freshman, Makayla Langston, center, has been a force for Reeltown this season, and the Rebels hope that continues next week in the Class 2A Area 8 tournament.
Arbogast are one-upping each other to get a chance at Shaw. Shaw certainly has the stature to play at a top-tier school. He’s 6-foot-5 and 205 pounds of seemingly pure muscle. He runs a 40 in 4.5 seconds, and he’s proven to be a threat on both sides of the football. OK, but that’s not even all Shaw is good at. As a sophomore last season, Shaw was the Outlook Boys Basketball Player of the Year after averaging a staggering 20.9 points and 12.9 rebounds per game; he was also named a firstteam all-state selection by the Alabama Sports Writers Association. Oh, and by the way, he’s a state gold medalist in track. He won a pair of golds in the 110 hurdles and 300 hurdles as just a freshman, and he

just fun to be around. And from everything I’ve seen of him and heard about him, Shaw is exactly that. He’s just an all-around good kid. I expect many more offers to pour in for Shaw over the next few weeks, and I encourage him and the community of Reeltown to soak in the attention and enjoy it. The hard part is going to come later when Shaw has to make a decision. And for those athletes who are still waiting around to hear back from their dream school, be patient and try to remember all the inspirational stories that have come out of this area. Terrell Owens, Justin Tuck, Adalius Thomas all have them, and now it’s time to add Shaw to that list. Lizi Arbogast is the sports editor of The Record.
O’Neal that pressure off my shoulders.” O’Neal has been a dual threat for the Rebels, contributing on both sides of the ball as a threeyear starter. During his senior season, O’Neal led the team with 18 receptions for 280 yards and four touchdowns in addition to his ground game, where he rushed for 190 yards and five scores on 21 carries. “Offensively, Trey is the most versatile player we’ve had since I’ve been at Reeltown,” Rebel coach Matt Johnson said after the season. Defensively, O’Neal finished with 84 tackles, including 56 solo stops and five for a loss. He also had three sacks, an interception and two forced fumbles. Recruited by Tuskegee as an outside linebacker, O’Neal said he’s going to have to keep training and hitting the weight room to be ready for the next level. “I think the biggest difference

The Generals lost 45-33 to Ranburne in the first meeting but got much closer the second time around and suffered just a 36-31 defeat. They also got very close to beating LaFayette. After losing by 21 in the teams’ first meeting, Horseshoe Bend lost only 56-51 last week against the area champions. The boys will have their hands full with Ranburne, which they lost to by a combined 36 points during the teams’ two regular-season meetings.
continued from Page B1 between high school ball and college ball is really just going to be the physicality between the two,” O’Neal said. “It’s going to be a lot more competition and a lot of guys that are bigger, stronger and faster than me. It’s going to help me get better as an athlete and be better as an individual.” But O’Neal has always been a hard worker, and Johnson sees no problem with O’Neal making the transition to Divison II football. “I look forward to it,” Johnson said shortly after O’Neal was offered by Tuskegee in November. “Trey is a special ballplayer, and he’s special to me because I was his position coach. I played for his granddaddy and with his daddy. I’ve known Trey his whole life, so I’m proud as a coach but I’m also proud as a friend of the family. I know the sky is the limit for him.”

The Wetumpka Herald
PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 20-April 19) You might be more exacting and demanding than you realize. Your feelings need to be positively directed to keep you from feeling frustrated or angry. Understand that others care about how you feel but might be limited in meeting your demands. Tonight: Take a strong role in making plans. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) One-on-one relating remains a strong suit of yours during the workday. You prefer that type of exchange, as it makes you feel more complete. Find out, if you can, what is bothering the other party. This person might not want to open up or might not feel secure enough to reveal what is going on. Do not make it a big deal. Tonight: Weigh the pros and cons of taking a long-talked-about vacation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your sense of direction needs to suɉce for the moment. Getting feedback from a loved one or an associate might be diɉcult at the moment. Others seek you out, resulting in a need to screen calls. Postpone socializing. You have a lot to do. You need to clear out present work before you can relax. Tonight: Now, catch up with friends. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your emotional depth helps you identify with a loved one or partner. You might not agree with him or her. However, you do understand where this person is coming from. Keep the moment light, if possible. The other party could feel uncomfortable otherwise. Tonight: Say “yesâ€? to a special oɈer. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Allow your adventurous spirit to dominate. You enjoy relating to others. Be careful -- a Ă…irtation could begin out of nothing, or the other party might misinterpret your attention. Be aware of how much your charisma draws others toward you and also fuels your fantasies. Tonight: Try to make it an early night. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could feel as if you cannot move in one direction or another. Use this semi-stalemate to open up conversations and see where movement is possible. Feelings Ă…ow, and suddenly ideas pop up. The unexpected marks
a new choice. Tonight: Tap into your imagination when making plans. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Make an eɈort to have much-needed discussions. You might like agreements, but you need to accept your diɈerences Ă„rst. Talks help a negotiation. However, you Ă„nd someone you are dealing with to be out of sorts or erratic. You will see eye to eye soon enough. Tonight: Head home early. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Stay in touch with your Ă„nancial limitations when shopping. You could feel confused by a child or a loved one. Actually, this person works well when a haze surrounds an issue. Goodwill Ă…ows between you. You soon will be on the same page. Tonight: Hang out with friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) No one can stop you when you decide to go for something. Confusion surrounds others who would like to interfere but cannot. Caring evolves, and with it, people feel less threatened. A family member or a matter around your home could shake up the status quo. Tonight: Make it your treat. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Use the morning to center yourself and rethink a decision. Your gentle manner comes through when dealing with others. It draws a positive response. You could bring others around to your way of thinking if you do not make a hard push. Tonight: Nap, then decide. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Use the daylight hours to focus in on high priorities. A meeting will be successful if scheduled midday. Listen to diɈerent opinions. Your caring evolves the more you understand what worries others. Surprises surround you. Tonight: Let it be just for you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You take charge in work-related matters. As a result, you Ă„nally see Ă…ow and acknowledgment. You express your appreciation for a job well done. Know that you did make a diɈerence here. Finances go back and forth, Ă„guratively speaking. Make a decision accordingly. Tonight: The more people around you, the more fun you will have.

The Dadeville Record
Local pawn shop owner has odd items up for grabs By RON COLQUITT For The Record
Tucker
Andy Tucker has been in the pawn shop business for more than 20 years and has learned some hard lessons along the way. One is donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let anyone pawn a live critter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did take three horses one time,â&#x20AC;? Tucker said with a grin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I vowed that I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take anything that eats because once you get them, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to feed them.â&#x20AC;? Tucker, 54, owns Depot Gun & Pawn on U.S. Highway 280 and City Pawn Shop in downtown Alexander City. The location on 280 is crammed with both usual and unusual items. Al, a large black male cat, is a fixture there and has pretty much taken over after wandering into the shop about three months ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All he does is eat and sleep,â&#x20AC;? said Tucker, who added for some strange reason people who drop by are afraid of Al, possibly because he is a black cat and could bring bad luck. The shop has become a museum of oddities, including the torso of a male mannequin with a gas mask attached to its head. Then there is the Yeti cooler labled â&#x20AC;&#x153;zombie body part containment case.â&#x20AC;? Nearby is an artificial arm holding a beer stein and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the only one to have been in the building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The oddest things pawned were prosthetic arms and legs,â&#x20AC;? Tucker said before conceding so many weird things have been pawned over the years he has trouble narrowing down the list.
Ron Colquitt / For The Record
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, a pole-dancing pole was odd,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sold it, too. That took a few weeks. And we got one of those slings, one of those swings that they do strange stuff in the bedroom with. We sold it two weeks ago, I guess.â&#x20AC;? Tucker said his mind is a filing system and it stays full. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of times when stuff comes in the door, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take it because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a customer in mind,â&#x20AC;? he said. Tucker said the items people pawn the most include TVs, Playstation and Xbox gaming systems, guns and jewelry. Guns are his best sellers, he said. Tucker said most of the guns are pawned and sold at the 280 location and
a majority of the jewelry is pawned at the downtown shop. His wife Melissaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expertise is jewelry because she knows how to clean it, display it, price and sell it, Tucker said. He said the pawn shop business picks up as Christmas approaches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The busiest time of year is going to be from November to March,â&#x20AC;? Tucker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got Christmas sales, layaway and then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got income tax money coming in. A lot of people will pawn their stuff in November and December to buy new Christmas stuff for their kids. Then they will come and pay the loans back in January or February and March when they get their income tax refunds.â&#x20AC;? Most of the customers, those either pawning or buying, are easy to deal with, Tucker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to call the police a couple of times but most of the time I can handle it myself,â&#x20AC;? he said. Tucker recalled a time when a man pawned his car and let him keep it while he paid off the pawn. The man reneged and hid the car so Tucker couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t confiscate it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He hid the vehicle from me for six to eight months,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I finally found it, it sat up here at the shop for another six or eight months.â&#x20AC;? A woman he knew needed a car to get to and from work, so Tucker sold it to her for a dollar. The man who had pawned the car saw her in it one day, forced her to pull over then demanded the car back, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ended up selling it to her for a dollar right in front of him and he got mad,â&#x20AC;?
Tucker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do big loans on cars because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get them in a bind. I try not to get the customers in a bind. I want them to be able to pay the loan back. I tell them letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not go that high because you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to pay it back. We usually do $200 or $300 on a car because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to pay back.â&#x20AC;? The hit TV show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pawn Starsâ&#x20AC;? is staged and â&#x20AC;&#x153;not very realistic,â&#x20AC;? according to Tucker, who said people often get the wrong impression of the pawn business because of the show, especially the haggling over price. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a show,â&#x20AC;? Tucker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People come in here and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to do like they do on that show,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and I say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it like the guy on there, just haggle back and forth too much.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Tucker said because of his 20 years of experience in the business, he knows how much he can get for an item when he buys it. Tucker said some people have a low opinion of pawn shop owners and their customers but he feels like he is performing a good service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people may think that we are not legit or they look down on our type of business â&#x20AC;Ś but I love my customers,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care what they think about my customers. My wife will tell you I love my job.â&#x20AC;? Tucker said he is not afraid some big pawn business will locate in Alex City and steal his customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good business,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can any of these big pawn companies come in and hurt me? I would say no because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about the customers and I do.â&#x20AC;?
