Council rezones property for DHR building By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

The Dadeville City Council rezoned a piece of property to allow the construction of a new building for the Department of Human Resources Tuesday night. “We are looking forward to have a new location for DHR here in Dadeville,” Mayor Wayne Smith said. “We are glad they are going to stay here in Dadeville.”

The move came after only one public hearing to hear any opposition. “We waived the second public hearing on the zoning change as no one has come out in opposition to the change so we can help expedite the process.” Smith said he was proud of how city employees are helping support the community. “The United Way’s Sharon Fuller and I visited with city employees about the Fair Share program,” Smith said. “I am very proud of our employees. I have to commend them on a job well done.”

The council also talked about residents burning in the city limits. “We are reviewing the burn ordinance,” Smith said. “Basically it requires a burn permit through the fire department, has to be at least 500 feet from any residence, resident must be present when burning and in daylight hours.” Smith wants to remind residents to be courteous when burning and be aware of surroundings. “Watch the wind,” Smith said. “If it is blowing See COUNCIL • Page 8

Commission gets good news on tax collections

Fire marshal confirms Dadeville blaze was act of arson

By MITCH SNEED Editor

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

The State of Alabama Fire Marshal’s office has confirmed that a fire at a house on Lafayette Street in Dadeville last week was arson. “The Alabama State Fire Marshal’s Office in a joint investigation with local Law enforcement has determined that the fire last week in Dadeville was intentionally set,” State Fire Marshal Scott Pilgreen said. Last week, Dadeville Police chief said he thought the fire was arson. “It is believed by me the fire was intentionally set,” Barbour said. “We do not have any suspects in custody at this time.” Barbour said the cause of the blaze is under further investigation. Barbour said Saturday the state fire marshal would be coming in to take a look. “He should be able to determine the cause,” he said. The Friday evening blaze drew help from across Tallapoosa County. “At 19:33 (7:33 p.m.) See ARSON • Page 3

Area diners will soon have another option as Jacks in Dadeville is hoping to open next week.

GET JACK-ED UP New fast food restaurant to open next week By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Dadeville residents will soon have another dining option – Jacks. Dadeville Mayor Wayne Smith said the restaurant should open next week. “They are planning a soft opening next week,” Smith said. “At some point they will have a grand opening.” The Homewood-based fast food chain started construction on a Dadeville location at the intersection of Highway 280 and Broadnax Street

The Tallapoosa County Commissioners learned Monday that property tax collections are going well and one small zoning hurdle needs to be cleared for construction to begin on the new Department of Human Resources building in Dadeville. Those two items were among the agenda items taken up Monday, but the property tax news given by Revenue Commissioner Eva Middlebrooks was encouraging. “We are down to just 496 accounts uncollected,” Middlebrooks told the commissioners. “That’s about $187,000 of nearly $21 million so that’s pretty good. We will start advertising on March 31 for a May 4 tax sale. So we are encouraged by where we are at this point.” Middlebrooks said they are also expecting a boost from the activity surrounding the Sabal Trail Pipeline. She said an extension was granted, but believes there could be some numbers available over the next few weeks to a month. “We are anxious to see what that does to the base,” Middlebrooks said. County Administrator Blake Beck told commissioners of one “hiccup” with the property that was purchased for the DHR building. “There is a small hiccup, but I don’t think it will be a big problem,” Beck said. “The property we purchased is zoned residential, so we need to have

Unemployment

continued from page 1

The increase matches the state trend as well. Alabama Department of Labor Secretary Fitzgerald Washington announced Monday that Alabama’s preliminary, seasonally adjusted January unemployment rate is 6.4 percent, up from December’s revised rate of 6.3 percent and above January 2016’s rate of 6.1 percent. January’s rate represents 141,268 unemployed persons, compared to 137,875 in December and 131,483 in January 2016. There were 2,054,204 people working in January, up from December’s count of 2,047,753, and significantly higher than January 2016’s count of 2,034,498. “Our unemployment rate rose because nearly 10,000 more people entered the labor force last month, and about 6,500 of them found work,” Washington said. “The others remain unemployed. When you have an increase in the labor force, and all of those people aren’t able to find work, you will see up an uptick in the rate. “However, there is good news in this month’s economic report,” said Washington. “We continue to surpass our employment numbers each month, and once again, I can say that we

currently have more people working in Alabama than there have been in more than eight years. Our labor force is larger than it has been in more than five years. Average weekly earnings for our workers are up both over the month and the year. These are positive indicators for our economy.” Average weekly earnings measured $789.66 in January, up from $783.13 in December, and $768.58 in January 2016. Average hourly earnings followed suit, with January measuring $22.37 per hour, up from $22.06 in December and $21.65 in January 2016. Counties with the lowest unemployment rates are: Shelby County at 5.0 percent, Elmore County at 5.6 percent, and Cullman County at 5.7 percent. Counties with the highest unemployment rates are: Wilcox County at 17.1 percent, Clarke County at 12.8 percent, and Lowndes County at 12.6 percent. Major cities with the lowest unemployment rates are: Vestavia Hills at 4.2%, Homewood at 4.4 percent, and Hoover at 4.6 percent. Major cities with the highest unemployment rates are: Prichard at 11.9 percent, Selma at 11.5 percent, and Bessemer at 9.9 percent.

the zoning changed before we can move forward. I know they have plans to consider that in the town of Dadeville. Indications are that they are receptive to it. If that goes well, we still believe we could break ground in spring with a construction process that would take 12 to 15 months.” The commissioners also heard from County Engineer David Moore about a request to post a speed limit of 15 mph on Thelma Drive. He said they looked at the road and felt that that speed limit would be appropriate. The commissioners unanimously approved the move. In other moved, commissioners vote 5-0 to: • Approve minutes of the Feb. 13

meeting. • Approve warrants and purchase orders. • Approve leave for an employee under the Family Medical Leave Act. • Approve a resolution authorizing participation in the Region 5 Local Area Designation under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. The county had been in Region 2, which included the Anniston area. The switch moved Tallapoosa County to counties that include Lee County. • Approve the reappointment of Ben Sands to the Walnut Hill Water Authority Board of Directors. • Approved a resolution designating April as Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Jacksons Gap yyear. Council member Heather Glenn ssaid she had toured the property and ssaw potential in it. “We could do some stuff with that 111 acres,” Glenn said. “We could hhave a park for the community. We ccould have places for the community tto help raise morale. It would be a ggood investment and have a lot more rroom…We need to condsider it. “It goes from Main Street over tto the VFW Parkway. It is a very nnice piece of property. Chief (B.C. Cooper) has already said he would C vvolunteer his time to clear off the lland. We could make something like tthe Imagination Station at Dadeville aand Alexander City for the local kids tto go to.” Other council members were cconcerned about how long the bbuilding had sat vacant. “It doesn’t smell musky,” Glenn ssaid. “The roof is in good shape.” Council member Brady Crocker wants to see some movement on w lland currently by the town. “Is there a way we can put up a sign on that land on 280 saying ccommercial property for sale or llease?” Crocker asked. Glenn saw other uses for the pproperty. “In the mean time, would y’all bbe interested in clearing part of it ooff and having the Gap version of Santuck?” Glenn asked. “I have S ttalked to several people to get ffeed back and there are people iinterested.” Walker said that the council had ttalked about it before but said that ppart of the 28 acres would have to be ccleared and leveled and bathrooms iinstalled. The council tabled the idea waiting to get more information and w Walker said he would get quotes on W ssigns advertising the property for ssale or lease. Council members Glenn and Ford hhad just returned from a workshop. Glenn suggested putting Jacksons G Gap Police Chief B.C. Cooper on G ssalary from what she learned at the workshop. The issue was tabled until w ttown attorney Robin Kelley could be cconsulted. Walker said a special meeting ccould be called to take up the matter. According to minutes from its

continued from page 1

Feb. 2013 meeting, the Jacksons Gap City Council set Copper’s salary at $51,000. At the same meeting the town clerk’s salary was set at $36,000. Council member Troy Cruz wanted to thank town employees for their service. “I want to thank the employees from all that they do,” Cruz said. “I especially want to thank Chief Cooper and Town Clerk Kathleen Thomas for all that they do.” Walker explained that RDS was auditing sales tax collection for the town and were working to see if they could collect from others. “They are working on it and it is still in progress,” Walker said. “It includes Walls and the internet like Amazon and Marina. Dollar General is about half way to the Alex City jurisdiction. RDS is working on it for us.” Walker says they are in the Jacksons Gap jurisdiction. The council decided instead of giving the Jackson Gap Volunteer Fire Department the $6,000 it budgeted for them by way of check, that the town would pay the bills of the department through the town. The Jacksons Gap Council also approved minutes from the last meeting. They also approved payment of the bills but Council member CarlPritchard questioned why the payroll was not included in the bills. Town Clerk Kathleen Thomas responded that it is not yet know because part time employees’ hours and overtime for the month are not finalized. In the payment of bills was an upcoming workshop for the fire department on ISO ratings paperwork. Pritchard inquired about it. “The fire department is one of the most important and positive things we have,” Pritchard said. After little discussion on the matter, the council approved payment of the bills stating that the workshop would allow the ISO paperwork to be done by the department thus saving money over having to contract it out. The next meeting of the Jacksons Gap Council is April 11 at 6:30 p.m.

Friday, E911 received a call of a house fire at 1050 East Lafayette Street,” Barbour said. “Fire departments from Dadeville, Camp Hill and Jacksons Gap responded to the scene.” Barbour said no one was home at the time and that the fire departments were able to put out the blaze. Barbour said that authorities are looking further into the cause of the Friday evening blaze. “Although the investigation has confirmed Dadeville Police Chief Barbour’s earlier suspicions, of arson, the investigation continues and no arrests have been made,” Alabama Department of Insurance Public Information Officer Steve Holmes said. “Dadeville Police and the State Fire Marshal’s Office welcome input from the public in this investigation and tips or leads may be reported to the Alabama Arson Hotline at 1-800-654-0775 or firemarshal.alabama.gov or the Dadeville Police Department.”

Do your part to help prevent tragic accidents

ith warm weather soon to be upon us upon us, we all become a bit more carefree and the level of outdoor activity increases. We all want to get out and enjoy the weather more and soon children will be out of school for Spring Break, with free time on their hands. It seems like a great time to remind everyone to be careful on area roads to avoid becoming another tragic statistic. We can all do our part to help reduce the chances of another tragic accident happening. As we drive, we often slip into that mode as well. We are headed to a gathering, towards the lake or maybe even heading off on a Spring Break road trip. If we are being honest, we’ve all taken off on a trip without taking all the precautions we should. So many times what seems like an innocent drive – even a drive to or from work – can turn life-threatening because of a bad decision. So many times the decision not to wear a safety belt has proven one of the worst possible. Winter is winding down and spring is almost here. Ours is an area that loves its recreation. But the best way to enjoy the activities that accompany the coming months is to be responsible. Wear a safety belt. Don’t drink and drive or ride with anyone who has been drinking. In fact, don’t let them drive. And, whoever’s driving, make sure they’re driving safely and within the posted speed limit. We have rules on our roadways for one big reason – to save lives. Any type of behavior that runs afoul of those rules is, at best, a gamble. And the stakes are the very highest possible. Yes, the weather’s growing warmer. Around these parts, that means it’s time to have some fun. Let’s have fun and be responsible, too. Because everything’s more fun when

’d planned on killing my first deer this year. That plan, however, didn’t come to fruition. It would have been nice to have that trophy buck hanging on my wall next to Jesus, Bo Jackson, and Velvet Elvis, but that touch of class will have to wait until next year. I may not have been blessed with that buck, but I was blessed with a whole mess of meat, courtesy of a friend who owns and operates a deer processing facility. He told us to stop by last Sunday, as he had some leftover meat.

Where’s Edgar? Part 3

By RAPHORD FARRINGTON Record Columnist

was sitting in that small family restaurant in Lake Alfred, Florida when I heard a voice behind me say “ Mr. Raphord.” I turned and there was Edgar – same big smile, same happy person. He told me he was training to be a plumber and was an apprentice now. Edgar still did not have his papers but was still working on them. He told me he had spent thousands of dollars with attorneys without success. As we had lunch and visited about our past I thought to myself here is a man that loves

this country because of the opportunities it offers, and wondered how many citizens would work this hard or spend this much time and money to have a job in the USA and they already live here. We take so much for granted and miss so many opportunities as Americans. We should wake up every day and thank God for what we have and what is available to us, then go out and do something about it. We are the only one that can put limits on what we can accomplish. We should start earlier, work harder, stay later so we can achieve our dreams for our families and ourselves.

But back to Edgar, I was in Florida this week and I drove around the places and towns where I had known Edgar. I talked to people who had known him. I found no sign of Edgar or anyone that knew of his whereabouts. I think I now have a better understanding of the immigrant’s dream and how much it means to them. I hope Edgar is living his dream, and I know he is working hard at fulfilling that dream. My dream is to hear that happy voice again say “Hey Mr. Raphord.” Raphord Farrington is a Dadeville resident and a regular columnist for The Record.

B MITCH SNEED By EEditor

A house bill that is the companion to a Alabama Senate measure that would legalize A hunting deer and wild hogs over bait has passed h and a Sen. Tom Whatley (R- Auburn) said he is optimistic that the differences can be worked o out o and a compromise bill can be passed this session. s Rep. Jack Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (R-Montgomery) house bill b passed the House by a vote of 69-18. It will now head to the State Senate, where Whatley said the only real difference with the W bill b he and Gerald Dial (R-Lineville) introduced is a fee to allow hunters to use bait. The Senate version of the bill does not attach a fee. v â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that the House passed a version is encouraging,â&#x20AC;? Whatley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s does have a fee and I had hoped that we could get h away from that. But sometimes you have to a compromise to get a bill passed. By charging, c you y still have that potential of enforcement issues. I think it would be better if either you is could do it or not. c â&#x20AC;&#x153;But their point is that it would raise some funds without imposing a tax.â&#x20AC;? fu Both bills would amend hunting laws in a manner that would allow the now illegal practice of placing food like shucked and p shelled corn in area where it would attract deer s and a hogs close to waiting hunters. Both bills read in part: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under existing law, la by regulation of the Department of

Conservation and Natural Resources, as it relates to hunting deer on private lands, there is a rebuttable presumption that any bait or feed located beyond 100 yards from the hunter and not within the line of sight of the hunter is not a lure, attraction or enticement to, on, or over the areas where the hunter is attempting to kill or take the deer. This bill would allow the taking of whitetail deer or feral swine by means of bait.â&#x20AC;? The House version would apply to licensed hunters on privately owned or leased land. The hunter would have to purchase a bait privilege license from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. The suggested price for a bait privilege license has been said to be $15 per year, with the collected funds being used for enforcement and conservation efforts. Williams was quoted estimating that bill could provide an additional $1.5â&#x20AC;&#x201C;$2 million in revenues for the game wardens. While illegal, the practice of hunting over bait has been widespread and tough for conservation officers to enforce. One local deer processor estimated that 80 percent of the deer he saw this season, showed the animals had ingested some sort of feed prior to being harvested. Currently any feed more than 100 yards away from the hunter is not considered a lure. If this bill were to become law, feed or bait could be placed closer to the hunter. The bill would not change restrictions against

baiting for other game such as birds. The Alabama Department on Conservation and Natural Resources reported Tuesday that this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harvest was solid despite drought conditions. Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first year of mandatory deer harvest reporting shows that more bucks are being harvested than does and more deer are harvested on private land versus public land. Out of the 82,435 deer reported, 45,546 were bucks and 36,854 were does. Thirty-five deer were of an unspecified gender, according to a release. The release stated that while compliance was not 100 percent, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is a good start for the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We estimate that approximately 35 percent of hunters reported their deer harvests this first year,â&#x20AC;? said Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Director Chuck Sykes in a released statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel that as hunters get used to the idea and understand what we are trying to do, the reporting will increase. We also want to remind hunters that turkeys should be reported through the same system.â&#x20AC;? Sykes said data reported by telephone was not as accurate as the data reported online and through the Outdoor Alabama app. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The phone requires more diligence on the part of the hunter and is more time-consuming, so we encourage everyone to use either the Outdoor Alabama app or report online at www. outdooralabama.com,â&#x20AC;? Sykes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those are the easiest reporting methods and the data we receive is more accurate.â&#x20AC;?

Group files suit asking EPA to address Tallapoosa County landfill complaint By KEITH RUSHING Earth Justice

MONTGOMERY – An Alabama community is taking the Environmental Protection Agency to task for not addressing civil-rights complaints related to environmental hazards at a Tallapoosa County landfill. Five nonprofit organizations filed a motion in federal court this week to force the EPA to act on cases involving pollution in communities of color that the groups contend have been neglected for more than a decade. One is a complaint against the Stone’s Throw Landfill near Tallassee in Tallapoosa County. The Ashurst Bar/Smith Community Organization is among the plaintiffs. Its chair, Ron Smith, said the landfill places an unfair burden on a community where some families have owned land for more than a century. “Here, if you really look at a map, it looks like the county and the state got together and found out where there was a black community that was economically challenged, and put a landfill right in the middle of that community,” said Smith. “The land

Council

ownership there is probably 85 percent black-owned.” The EPA is supposed to respond to valid complaints within 180 days. Four other plaintiffs in the case are alleging discrimination against lower-income, minority communities in the permitting of two California power plants, a power station in Michigan, an oil-refinery expansion in Texas, and a waste-disposal facility in New Mexico. According to Smith, the quality of life is slowly degrading in his area as the community copes with increased truck traffic, dropping home values, vultures and the smell of decaying waste. He added there has never been any baseline monitoring of public health impacts. “And we get reports that there are some problems - premature births, stillbirths, those kind of things going on,” he stated. “Yet we don’t get any kind of support with water quality monitoring or air quality monitoring, or any of those kinds of things.” The landfill was initially approved to serve 19 counties, and the state and county commission recently approved the service area to include all 67 counties in Alabama, along with three counties in Georgia.

towards your neighbors, don’t burn. Also beware that despite all the rain it’s still a little dry and here in March it’s windy.” Smith said the council is still discussing additional paving on Lafayette Street near North Loop and on Tallassee Street between Lafayette Street and the courthouse. He also said that council member Dick Harrelson was still looking into and getting quotes on striping of city streets. The Dadeville Council also: • approved minutes from the last meeting. • learned that construction of sidewalks has started on the Lafayette Street ATRIP project and that paving should begin soon. • approved an ordinance to allow the city to help with family insurance coverage passed at the last meeting. • approved recreation center rentals. The next meeting of the Dadeville City Council is March 28 at 6 p.m. with a pre-council meeting starting at 5:30 p.m.

Submitted / The Record

A complaint against Stone’s Throw Landfill near Tallassee in Tallapoosa County asks the federal court to force the EPA to act on cases involving pollution in communities of color.

In January, the EPA filed a motion asking that the case against it be dismissed. Suzanne Novak, lead attorney on the case with the law firm Earthjustice, thinks the agency put off the complaints until the lawsuit forced its hand. “They dismissed the complaint, but they still did not do what they were

supposed to - which was rule upon the issues raised in the complaint about the disparate environmental impacts it would have on this community of color,” said Novak. The federal court in San Francisco is expected to hold a hearing on the motion in June.

Online sales tax, updating highways among legislatures top concerns By STEVE FLOWERS Columnist

y tradition for over two decades has been to give my children money for Christmas. Under this system there is no returning of items. They get what they want or need. There is no way that I would know what style of clothing, color or size they like. It works well. The most illuminating thing that occurred to me this year is that both of my daughters and my granddaughter bought all of their Christmas gifts from me online. Without question, our country and state have changed dramatically technologically in my lifetime. Therefore, Alabama and other states have to change the way that sales tax is collected. States have to find a solution and the will to derive sales tax from online purchases. The legislature has wisely set up a budget reform task force to study, evaluate and come forward with longterm solutions to problems and loopholes in the law like online sales tax. The committee is headed by two stellar legislators, Sen. Clyde

Chambliss (R-Prattville) and Rep. Danny Garrett (R-Trussville). This blue ribbon panel will review and develop recommendations as to how Alabama can adjust to 21st-century budgeting. This non-collection of sales tax on online purchases is a serious problem and it perfectly illustrates how our tax system is more designed for the 20th century than the 21st. We, like many other states, are not keeping up with the technology shifts in the world. Legislators unquestionably have to reevaluate the state’s tax structure to reflect the new online and digital economy. Rep. Garrett has wisely acknowledged, “We used to tax about two thirds of the economy with the sales tax. Today, we tax one third of our economy.” He further observed, “We are leaning very heavily on the income tax, and our sales tax base is eroding due to online sales.” Another issue, which will be discussed during this legislative session, is the deterioration of our transportation system in the state. This problem is not unique to Alabama. In fact, President Trump

made this a hallmark issue of his campaign last year. Most Washington political observers fully expect to see a massive infrastructure package passed in a bipartisan manner early in Trump’s administration. Alabama needs to be poised to take advantage of this bonanza. The last major federal highway initiative came in the 1950s during the administration of Ike Eisenhower. It was also passed with bipartisan support. According to recent studies, 15 percent of Alabama roads and highways are in poor condition and 35 percent more are rated as fair, with 25 percent of our bridges deemed obsolete. The legislature may need to look at increasing the gas tax to take advantage of this federal windfall. More than likely, a state tax contribution will be needed to match the federal dollars. Alabama’s gas tax has not been increased since 1990. We have Richard Shelby, but he may need some help. The new Speaker of the House, Mac McCutcheon is from the Huntsville/ Madison County area. The

Rocket City is Alabama’s crown jewel economically. They realize the importance that adequate progressive highways are to sustained growth and prosperity. Speaking of McCutcheon, he is adjusting well to his new role a Speaker. He is fair and even handed. His selection of Rep. Alan Boothe to be his Rules Chairman seems to be meshing well. The House leadership has changed even more dramatically since the session began. The Republican caucus has elected Rep. Nathaniel Ledbetter of Rainsville as their new Majority Leader. Ledbetter is a freshman House member and former mayor of Rainsville. Rep. Connie Rowe of Jasper will serve as Vice-Chairwoman of the Caucus. Sen. Cam Ward has become the good shepherd, chief cook and bottle washer of the prison construction project. He has scaled back the size and scope of the original proposal. The legislature is trying to stay ahead of the federal courts on addressing the state’s prison overcrowding problem. See you next week.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Communication seems to reÃ&#x2026;ect a quality of togetherness. Be more forthright with someone you work with. Your strong suit is not diplomacy, so be sure to touch base with a friend or loved one who wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to give you the lay of the land. Tonight: A must appearance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Stay on your chosen path, and you will Ã&#x201E;nd out a lot about those around you. Even if others indicate that they are on the same path, their actions might reveal a diÉ&#x2C6;erent story. You can count on feeling very diÉ&#x2C6;erently about a key person in your life. Tonight: Visit a loved one. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Pace yourself, and head in a new direction. You will see events unfurl in a unique way. How you deal with a controlling person who aÉ&#x2C6;ects your life in multiple ways is important. You cannot avoid a conversation, no matter how much you might want to. Tonight: As you like it. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your creativity emerges after a long discussion with someone who has a lot of interesting ideas. As a result, you are likely to be more dynamic when approaching diÉ&#x2C6;erent situations or when coming up with solutions. Stay more upbeat. Tonight: Be naughty and nice! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Stay close to home, but be ready for a change of atmosphere. A roommate or close family member is likely to express his or her discomfort in a way that is meaningful and direct. Do not have expectations for how others might react. Tonight: Dinner for two. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Keep a conversation from heading in a direction that you are not comfortable with. You have a unique style that might distract others. Tap into your imagination, and you will Ã&#x201E;nd an easy resolution. Steer away from controlling people. Tonight: Smile the night away.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be in the mood to deal with taxes and other serious matters. A conversation could be intimidating, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll prove to be on top of your game. Others seek your understanding and caring. Anything can happen when you open up a door. Tonight: Your treat. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You succeed when you are true to your word. You will discover a strong response to this trait, which beneÃ&#x201E;ts you in many ways. You tend to be secretive, but if you follow through, others will be less concerned about your elusive ways. Tonight: Beam in what you want. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could feel as if you have less going for you than usual. That might be true, or perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not, but either way, there is no need to be defensive. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to take a step back and decide to schedule a few days oÉ&#x2C6; just for you. Tonight: Make it an early night. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Zero in on what you want. You might sense what someone else needs, but you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be sure unless you ask him or her directly. Being open to othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feedback is necessary. You seem to be able to know who is on the phone before you even answer it. Tonight: Play it like you mean it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A loved one might be impressed by your strong sense of direction. Consider treating this person to a late lunch and having a heart-to-heart conversation. Over a meal, people tend to relax more. Be sensitive to someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demands. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to respond to a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inquiry. Make sure you speak in a tone that leaves open the possibility of continuing the discussion at a later date. Clearly, many diÉ&#x2C6;erent ideas can lead to a reasonable resolution. Tonight: Read between the lines with a close loved one.

Decorated boats will add even more to the pageantry. Pastor Paul Messer of the Red Ridge United Methodist Church will offer the blessing. If you want to attend but do not have a boat, contact a board member and they will set you up with a ride. A $5 donation is suggested and is provided to a local charity. The best way to make this a successful event is through word of mouth, so please

Dadeville defeats Reeltown Tigers get 8-4 win in varsity baseball Battle of Highway 49 By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor

The Dadeville varsity baseball team won Wednesday’s Battle of Highway 49 as the Tigers defeated Reeltown 8-4 at home. “I’m proud of our guys,” Dadeville head coach Kyle Caldwell said. “They came to play today. I don’t know why but they had a little extra today. I guess you do that when you play a rival.” The Tigers came out in full force by scoring three runs in the first inning. The big playmaker of that inning was Dadeville senior Landon Tidwell, who made an RBI homerun that also sent senior Landon Wilson home from third base. “I think he (Reeltown senior Alex Giddens) was pitching pretty good,” Tidwell said. “Then he threw one in there, and I knew it was gone right when I hit it.” Dadeville remained consistent throughout the contest, scoring single runs in the second, third, and fourth innings. Then the Tigers added two final runs in the sixth. Reeltown trailed for most of the game, scoring their first run in the third inning, courtesy of a steal from third base by Reeltown

senior David Flurry. There they stayed until adding three more in the seventh inning — all of which were generated by walks. Dadeville senior William Claybrook led the Tigers on the plate with three hits. Dadeville junior Seth Broome earned the win for the Tigers. In four innings on the mound he had one strikeout and allowed five hits, two walks and gave up just one run. “I really couldn’t have done it without the team,” he said. “I did all I could up there but they really helped me.” Broome was pleased with how his team performed on the

home field. “It was an incredible game,” Broome said. “We pulled it through but we couldn’t have done it without each other as a team. We hit it well, this is the best we’ve hit all season. Our fielding was very good too, so it all came around.” Tidwell agreed. “We played pretty well and did a lot of good things,” he said. “We saw a lot of improvements.” Caldwell saw the importance of taking on and overcoming an undefeated team. “I thought it was good that our guys had to compete every inning,” he said. “When it gets

down to area play, that’s what you’re going to have to do.” Caldwell also tipped his hat to the Rebels for their performance in the rivalry game. “Reeltown brought it,” he said. “They’re a good ball team, and they never gave up.” Despite the win, Caldwell still sees room for improvement from his Tigers. “We hit the ball pretty well at times,” he said. “We still made some minor mistakes. But they can be fixed and that will definitely help us in the long run for the playoffs, hopefully.” Reeltown senior Calvin Burton led at the plate for the Rebels with two hits. Reeltown junior Joby Newman II took the loss for the Rebels. In 3.1 innings on the mound he had five strikeouts, allowed five hits and one walk and gave up two runs. Wednesday’s win brings the Tigers’ overall season record to 7-4. The loss drops Reeltown’s overall season record to 8-1. The Rebels next host Lanett Friday at 4 p.m. The Tigers next head to Tallassee Friday at 4:30 p.m. then host Tallassee Saturday in a double-header that starts at 1 p.m.

Top Flight gymnasts earn spots in upcoming regional competition in Florida By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor

Several athletes from Top Flight Gymnastics and Cheer took honors in the 2017 Alabama Men’s State Championship in Huntsville over the weekend, qualifying them to represent the state at regional competition in Daytona Beach, Florida, at the end of Sam McCollum April. Dadeville ninth grader Sam McCollum, a 2017 Academic AllAmerican, took third Parker Lehman place all around in level eight. Within that he placed first in the floor and high-bar events. “I felt good because I haven’t placed for regionals since I was at Level 5,” he said. The high-level honor qualifies McCollum, who has been competing in gymnastics for

the past four years, to move on to compete against fellow Level 8 gymnasts from across the Southeast. “I’m excited and I’m trying to add skills to my routine,” he said of the Daytona Beach trip. Also excited about the trip is Parker Lehman, the homeschooled eighth-grader from Jackson’s Gap who took first place in level five.

“I’m going to try to do well at competition,” he said of the upcoming regional competition. Three third-graders also took individual honors in level four at state. Camden Hadaway of New Site won first place all around. Sam Lee and Elijah Jackson, both of Alexander City, placed second all-around. Despite the honor, Lee

wasn’t completely happy with his performance in Huntsville. “I messed up in a lot of places,” he said. New Site fourth-grader Jackson Chambers took second place all around at level four. In addition to earning individual honors, the Top Flight Level 4 boys’ team took first place in team competition.
