Council hears future is bright in Dadeville By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Things are looking up in Dadeville and to hear Mayor Wayne Smith tell it, it has been a long time coming. Smith and Dadeville Council members heard from Gary Ingram Paving at Tuesday’s meeting about the hold up on finishing up the Lafayette

Street paving project. “They have another week’s worth of work to do,” Smith said. “They have been waiting on the state to get with them about some issues especially the hole at Broadnax near Bob’s.” The state has now given the contractor the go ahead on some cleanup and cement work. “The work should be completed in

Once again the Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force has taken illegal drugs off the streets as evidenced by the recent 11 arrests. Thursday and Friday this week, the Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force along with the U.S. Marshal Fugitive Task Force, the Tallassee Police Department, the Alexander City Police Department, the Jacksons Gap Police Department, the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department and the Dadeville Police Department executed search warrants in Dadeville and Jacksons Gap. The warrants were obtained as a result of controlled buys. “It was from an undercover operation over the last couple of months,” said Sgt. Fred White of the Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force. The operation netted buys of crack cocaine, methamphetamines, marijuana and synthetic marijuana. On Thursday and Friday, investigators See ARRESTS • Page 3

Town of Jacksons Gap Series to stop on Lake Martin for tournament preparing to eventually purchase new town hall File / The Record

Top bass fishermen will be on Lake Martin for the Bassmaster tournament Feb. 8-11.

STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

The Bassmaster Elite Series released its it tournament schedule Monday and it was w confirmed the season opener for the top to tournament trail in the world will be right here on Lake Martin. ri The top bass fishermen in the world will w be in Alexander City on Feb. 8-11. Officials say Lake Martin, which is O known for its healthy population of k spotted bass, was a regular stop for sp Bassmaster events during the late 1990s B and an early 2000s. But the last time B.A.S.S. visited the 44,000-acre lake B on o the Tallapoosa River for a high-level event was in November 2002. e The event coming to Lake Martin could be a huge economic boost for the c

area. Typically the tournaments bring teams in for four days, complete with a fishing expo, tournament officials and television crews. Under current Elite Series rules, anglers are allowed to obtain information about a fishery until the official off-limit period goes into effect four weeks prior to an event. “It means a lot of things will change, including no more sharing of waypoints of hot spots found by other fishermen,” said B.A.S.S. Tournament Director Trip Weldon. “The no-information rule has the support of the Elite anglers — and it will make it more important than ever for everyone to be able to go out and find their own fish.” See BASSMASTER • Page 5

Wind Creek again Holiday memories, new and old Mission I proves it’s a special place

eople often don’t understand the significance of things they see every day, right in their own backyard. Take Wind Creek State Park for example. The park is one of the most popular in the state, ranking No. 5 in terms of visits per year, according to Alabama State Parks statistics. Last year, the park drew more than 200,000 visitors and had almost 150,000 overnight visits. Judging from the crowds that jammed the park during the Independence Day weekend, this year looks to be promising. An exact number of visitors is not yet known, but park officials say it was extremely busy despite the threat of rain for part of that time. Those who visited the park gave it rave reviews, many already making reservations for return trips. Those are incredible numbers, but think of dollars spent with those people as well. It’s hard to put a number on how much all those visitors mean to the local economy, but experts with the National Parks Service say a person who visits a park spends between $74 to $201 per day in the community closest to the park. If those numbers are accurate, even at the low end, the park brings in $1.7 million to the local economy from visitors. We applaud the staff and volunteers who work so hard to make Wind Creek a special place and the holidays so much fun for everyone. While some local residents may take Wind Creek for granted, it has a tremendous reputation across the state and the Southeast as a park that provides visitors with an incredible experience. The best part is that Wind Creek can get even better. Hopefully the state will wise up soon and provide the funding for parks they deserve. That way the park can add attractions and offer even more for visitors. Until then, visit Wind Creek Park. You won’t be sorry you did.

I was coming out of one of the darkest periods in my life and was in Birmingham in a rehab facility that, along with some incredible friends and loved ones, saved my life. Being away from family on a holiday is always tough, so we talked the staff into allowing us to cook chicken and Boston butts on the grill. About six of us spent 14 hours out there making sure everything was perfect. Grilled corn, potato salad, baked beans and Texas toast completed the feast. I went out and traded yard work at a store in the neighborhood for four watermelons and we iced them down all day. My dear friend Amy and her granddaughter came to visit that night and made ice cream. The smiles on the faces of those men and women as they enjoyed the day was something I will never forget. The Fellowship House is located at the base of the Vulcan and the view was incredible. To see so many people, all who had been dealing with demons of their own, forget their troubles for a few hours and enjoy themselves so much was just great. On July 4, 1997, our family, two young daughters included, spent the weekend in Murphy, North Carolina, with my parents. It was one of the last times that we all got to be together away from home.

MITCH SNEED Editor

The girls were 7 and 9 that year and Murphy is a small mountain town that was my father’s home place.They offer some small-town traditions for Independence Day that were just great family fun. There was a field day where the girls competed in hula-hooping, softball throwing, sack racing and finding a needle in a haystack. They racked up and took home a handful of medals and ribbons each. Just being with my folks, who are both gone now, all together watching rafters on the river and fireworks light up the night sky was amazing. It was like all was right with the world. I know my girls still talk about that weekend and smile even today. This year, I added a new one to the list. In the newspaper business, you are always thinking ahead and looking for ways to get a big story or that perfect picture. So after covering the boat parade Tuesday, I went in search of a vantage point that would align with the launch point for the fireworks from The Amp, the boaters on the lake and landmarks that people would recognize. I crossed the Kowaliga Bridge and turned down a road marked PRIVATE DRIVE and NO TRESPASSING on big ‘ol signs. “Maybe no one will shoot me,” I thought. A short way down the road I found some folks in front of a lake cabin cooking on a massive trailer mounted grill. I stopped the

truck in the road and left the motor running as I got out and went to ask a favor. “I’m Mitch Sneed with The Outlook and I was wondering if it would be OK to come back this evening and take pictures of the fireworks out here?” The response I got was not what I expected. “Sure you can. Come a little early and we may have a rib or a chicken leg left.” I couldn’t believe their kindness. It turned out that Linda Howard Keel and her family and friends traditionally have a gathering there every year. You will never meet a better bunch of people. They treated us like family and fed us like kings. You talk about ribs that melt in your mouth, man, those were incredible, and Nana’s Caramel Cake—it was as good as my mother’s. The view of the fireworks was equally spectacular. A few of the pictures were published in the paper and posted online. It would not have been possible without the kindness of those great folks. It was a perfect example of why I tell everyone that you will not find any better people anywhere than right here. Thanks to you all for helping me make another memory. QUOTE OF THE WEEK: Overheard in a Waffle House in Orange Beach from a big sister who was trying to calm down an unruly little brother: “Act like you have some raising.” The Alabama English aside, that is sound advice for all of our young folks.

A patriotic day with the Harvesters

ast week, I stood outside the entrance to the Epworth Center at Auburn United Methodist Church. A few minutes later, I moved over to an outside bench. A few minutes after that, I moved to a comfortable seat just inside the door. It was hot. I needed some conditioned air. No matter where I was, I kept seeing two of my favorite things: happy people and covered dishes. I was there to speak to the Harvesters, a group of seniors who gather monthly for fun, fellowship, and food. In fact, the food is so good that it’s referred to as “the best lunch in town,” and neither my plate nor my stomach will argue with that. There was enough home-cooked food to feed an army, and it was delicious. The only thing missing was pear salad—not that I’m a fan of pear salad. It’s just not very often I attend a church potluck anywhere in Alabama where pear salad isn’t on the table. It was a gathering of seniors, after all. Who thought pear salad was a good idea anyway? To me, it’s up there with Tussy deodorant. But, I digress. The Harvesters were such a fun group to be with. I must’ve had a couple of dozen tell me they were frequent readers of my column. Some stated it’s the first thing they turn to when they get their paper each Sunday morning. I appreciate their comments greatly and am thankful for

JODY FULLER Columnist

their support. They are a patriotic group, too. The gathering took place the day following Independence Day, but the room was decked out in my favorite colors. No, it wasn’t orange and blue. It was decorated in red, white, and blue. The club president gave a short talk on freedom and then we sang three of my favorite songs: Sweet Home Alabama, We are the Champions, and Brown Eyed Girl. I kid. Actually, we sang The Star Spangled Banner, My Country, ‘Tis of Thee, and America the Beautiful. I sing terribly but I love belting out these beautiful songs. I talked to a lot of people. One lady told me I was much more handsome in person than I am in the photo accompanied with my column. That’s not something I hear every day, but I’ll take it. Who doesn’t like a compliment? A brief discussion with another member resulted in the revelation that she graduated from Dadeville High School with my mother in 1968. There was also the lady who told me she meant to make pear salad but was out of cherries, and to her, pear salad just wasn’t pear salad

without the cherry. I call that “high-dolla” pear salad. Then there was the guy who told me the same stuttering joke that every man over 60 has told me for the past 10 years. “Have you heard the one about the stuttering Bible salesmen? Stop me if you’ve heard this before. I never stop them and never will. If they are laughing, I am laughing. This was a great group of folks who help out their fellow Harvesters, their church, and their community in countless ways. Most of all, they’re just a great group of folks who get together for fun, fellowship, and food. Who doesn’t like that? They’re an active group, too, with trips planned to Georgia and South Carolina over the next couple of months. I’d encourage anyone to start or get involved in a similar group at their church. I had a wonderful time. I was only supposed to talk for about 20 minutes but wound up running my pie hole closer to thirty. No one got up to leave during my set, but as soon as I was done, a handful of them jumped up and made a beeline to, well, you know. They were seniors, after all.

Tallapoosa farmers may be eligible for drought funds STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) State Conservationist for Alabama Ben Malone announced that the agency is providing funding to assist landowners impacted by last year’s extreme drought. Agricultural producers statewide suffered losses from months with low rainfall. Eligible landowners are encouraged to apply by July 28, 2017. Alabama landowners living in counties identified as high priority will be assigned the highest priority for financial assistance because they

were impacted the most by the drought. Tallapoosa County is one of those counties. Funding will be provided through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and will address fencing, water troughs, pasture, hay land re-establishment, wells, and prescribed grazing. In addition to others, these practices will not only help landowners recover losses from the drought, they will serve as a proactive step to help landowners in the event of future drought situations. Measures such as planting drought affected cool season grasses such as fescue and installing water tanks and fencing will make lands more sustainable.

“Landowners across the state have weathered the drought for months and these funds will assist them in replenishing losses and doing what they can to help their grazing lands recover,” said State Conservationist Ben Malone. During the worst of the drought, USDA reported more than $30 million in disaster funds were distributed nationally for livestock feed programs and non-insured disaster support. In addition, because livestock feed was in short supply, cattle sales were 19% ahead of 2015. This impacted the value of livestock that was sold. Alabama landowners who are interested in applying for drought funding should contact their local

Bassmaster That means that anglers will likely be in the area before the tournament to scout out spots and test fish the lake. Economic impact studies done at the site of other tournaments has showed an influx of between $1.2 million and $3.6 million. B.A.S.S. CEO Bruce Akin said he loves the flow of a schedule that will allow the Elite Series to visit old friends — and make a lot of new ones — during an eight-month stretch of next year’s calendar. “We are very serious about taking bass fishing into new regions of the country and exposing as many people to our sport as we can,” Akin said. “But in doing that, we’ll never forget the people who have shown us so much support every time we’ve visited their communities. “This schedule has some history, as well as some new adventures for our Elite anglers and fans, and I think that’s fantastic.” The Bassmaster Elite schedule includes: April 6-9 on the Sabine River in Orange, Texas; April 26-29, Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees in Grove, Oklahoma; May 4-7, Kentucky Lake in Paris, Tennessee; May 17-20, Toyota Texas Fest; June 21-24, Mississippi River in LaCrosse Wisconsin; June 20-July 2 on Lake Oaha in Pierre, South Dakota; July 26-29 in Upper Chesapeake Bay in Havre de Grace, Maryland and Aug. 23-26 on the St. Lawrence River in Waddington, New York. Two postseason Elite Series events — the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year Championship and the Classic Bracket — will be held in late September. Locations will be revealed at a later time.

A DAY AT THE BEACH

The beach is an amazing place with things to see and lots of fun things to do. You can explore wildlife, swim, play sports, or even just relax and rest. It is a great place for families and friends to enjoy the beautiful summer weather.

Many sports activities can be fun in the water. Jet skis, sailboats, speed boats, skiing, and parasailing are just a few of the fun things that are available to people who are looking to have a good time on the water. The most important thing to remember when you are at the beach is safety. You should always remember for any outdoor activity to use sunscreen! Make sure that you have a high enough SPF, or sun protection factor, to protect your skin from the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harmful rays. When at the beach, you should always use sunscreen that is waterproof. Reapply it as often as needed, and wear a pair of sunglasses with UV protection to protect your eyes, too. Another important safety measure is to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration and heat stroke. If you are swimming in the water, always remember to swim with a buddy and to obey any lifeguard on duty.

Missing kayaker’s body recovered from Tallapoosa River By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer

Officials with the Tallassee Police and Fire Departments confirmed that the body of a missing kayaker was recovered Wednesday morning. Charles Edward Stewart, 31, of Tallassee was recovered from the Tallapoosa River and pronounced dead Wednesday after becoming displaced from his kayak Tuesday on the river below Thurlow Dam. Stewart was recovered without a personal flotation device. Officials say the accident occurred shortly after 4 p.m. Tuesday, but the first call for help came at 5:20 p.m. Tuesday. Immediately, multiple agencies assisted with the search and recovery effort. Officials said ALEA’s Marine Patrol Division and

Aviation Unit were assisted by the Tallassee Fire Department, Tallassee Police Department, Friendship Fire Department, Elmore County EMA, Haynes Ambulance, Haynes Lifeflight, Elmore County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team, Division Delta Dive Team, Montgomery Fire Department Dive Team, Search and Rescue of Elmore County, Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, as well as civilian bystanders. The search began Tuesday evening and had to be suspended overnight due to lack of visibility. The search resumed Wednesday morning and officials recovered body at 10 a.m. near the ASE boat launch. According to Tallassee Fire Department Assistant Chief David Rodgers, the initial call reported that two individuals had put in at the

below Thurlow Dam. One individual was in a canoe and the other was in a kayak. The caller reported that the two individuals encountered rough rapids and both individuals were ejected. “They were both wearing a lifejacket at the time that they exited their vessels,” Rodgers said. “One victim was able to get to the rocks and get himself out of the water. The other victim was floating in the middle of the river and could not make it to the edge. That was the report we were given (Tuesday) night.” Following the report, a surface search was initiated while Haynes ambulance and ALEA’s aviation unit searched from above. After an extensive search, officials were forced to suspend their efforts until daylight due to limited visibility.

Overnight, dive teams and other assets were put on standby. The search resumed just after 8 a.m. At about 10 a.m., the ALEA aviation unit was on site and located what later proved to be the victim from the air. Following the sighting, Tallassee Fire and Rescue located the body by boat. “We were able to deploy our dive teams that were on site and they made the victim recovery in approximately seven feet of water,” Rodgers said. Stewart was pronounced dead at the scene and his body turned over to the Elmore County coroner, according to a TFD press release. According to Tallassee Police Department Chief Matthew Higgins, preliminary indications are that the incident was a tragic accident but said the investigation is ongoing.

Alabama State Board of Veterans Affairs reappoints March as commissioner STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

The Alabama State Board of Veterans Affairs (SBVA) reappointed retired Rear Admiral W. Clyde Marsh to a new four-year term as commissioner of the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs (ADVA).

“Admiral Marsh has demonstrated great leadership and innovation to the department for the past decade. Under his leadership the first state veterans cemetery and the fourth veterans home were built,” Board member Ken Rollins said. Admiral Marsh oversaw efforts to completely renovate and upgrade Bill Nichols State Veterans Home, Alabama oldest long-term care

veterans facility in 2016. He spearheaded the transition from a paper claims process to a statewide computer data based claims system to enhance the claims filing process that provides better connectivity and efficiency in county veterans service offices statewide. “The veterans of Alabama are fortunate Admiral Marsh accepted another four-year term as our

commissioner. He has served in multiple positions on the national level; he’s highly respected throughout the federal Veterans Administration and by state directors,” Dolores Hardin, SBVA Vice Chair, said. Commissioner Marsh has served as ADVA commissioner since October 2005.

Coach of the Year Milestone season for Richy Brooks By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

For the last 25 seasons, baseball coach Richy Brooks has called Benjamin Russell his home. He’s dedicated his life to baseball and committed two-and-a-half decades to the Wildcats. This season was full of milestones for Brooks, including winning his 600th career game and having the varsity field at the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex renamed in his honor. Now, he is the 2017 Outlook Baseball Coach of the Year. “This is all I really know how to do,”

Brooks said as he reflected on his career at BRHS. “I’m doing what the good Lord put me here to do. I’m doing what I’m supposed to do. I don’t really want or know how to do anything else.” Inducted into the Alabama Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2014, Brooks now has 619 career wins and likely isn’t going to call it quits anytime soon, either. Although his middle son, Connor, just graduated, Brooks’ youngest, Cade, just finished his freshman year. This season, the expectations weren’t all that high for the Wildcats.

While we’ll still be young (next season), I hope they gained valuable experience.” Despite going through a series of injuries midway through the regular season and into the playoffs, Benjamin Russell finished the season with a 24-16 record. Although it lost in the second round of the state tournament, it went toeto-toe with Chelsea, dropping the third and decisive game, 5-3. “I think you’re always gonna win a few you probably shouldn’t and lose a few you probably shouldn’t,” Brooks said. “I thought we reached about as high as we can reach. I always ask myself, ‘Did we reach our potential?’ We might’ve been capable of doing just a little bit more, but it wasn’t a lot more. We reached our potential, so I felt good about the year.”
