PRIMARY TUESDAY: Polls open at 7 a.m. today STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
It’s Election Day in Alabama and there are plenty of questions to be answered. Will Alabama help push Donald Trump even further out front of the pack in the race to be the Republican Party’s Presidential nominee? Will Hillary Clinton re-take the lead over Bernie Sanders on the Democratic side? Will Tallapoosa County’s Damon Lewis earn the right to face Democrat

Jeremy Duerr in the fall with a win over Chambers County’s Bill Harris in the GOP primary for District Attorney? Will Mike Rogers hold off Larry DiChiara in the race for the GOP nomination for Congress? Voters will answer those questions and more today as polls in Tallapoosa County and across the state are open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. by state law. Anyone in line before 7 p.m. will be allowed to vote. Poll workers should
identify the last person in line at 7 p.m. and no one should be allowed to vote after that person.

State law also requires that each voter carry with them to their polling place a government-issued photo ID. According to the alabamavotes.gov, a voter can use any of the following
TAKING THE PLUNGE
Expert says it’s a good time to buy or sell By DAVID GRANGER Staff Writer
Lake Martin waterfront sales totaled 12 units during January, an increase in sales growth of 33 percent from the same period in 2015 and equal to the January peak in waterfront home sales at Lake Martin established in 2012, according to a report from the Alabama Center for Real Estate. “Overall the market is very strong – overall sales volume is up 43% over the same period last year,” said Steve Arnberg, vice president of real estate sales for Russell Lands on Lake Martin. “It’s a great time to be a seller because values are going up. It’s a great time to be a buyer because interest rates give more buying power.” The ACRE report also said the Lake Martin waterfront median sales price during January was $521,714, an increase of 55.7 percent from January 2015 and an increase of 25 percent from the prior month. Arnberg warned about the misleading volatility of the ACRE numbers. “Average prices and median prices in a monthly report can be a bit volatile,” Arnberg said. “A 55 percent increase over last January (which was $335,000 in my reports) is an indication of that. I would fear that someone seeing that one stat would think the market is red hot and a buyer would be scared off a purchase fearing a bubble or a seller See LAKE • Page 3

City remains mum on audit of golf course funds By MITCH SNEED Editor
Cliff Williams / The Outlook
Top, nearly 20 people joined in the first ever Polar Plunge at Windcreek State Park Saturday. The park gave participants a t-shirt, hot chocolate and a fire to warm up. Right, John McGuire, of Auburn, brought his own float for the fun event, unfortunately the float sprung a leak. Some of the participants even had a contest to see how long they could stay in the cool water.
Five weeks after Alexander City Mayor Charles Shaw said he had hired a firm to do a forensic audit to get to the bottom of checks made out to the city golf course that never cleared the bank, there is still no news to be made public. Shaw said Monday that he wasn’t sure if the audit was complete. Shaw said he hopes that auditors and Attorney Larkin Radney can meet with him “next week” to discuss the matter. “We have no indication that (the forensic audit) is complete,” Shaw said. “We hope to have a meeting with them and our city attorney next week.” Shaw did say he had been in communication with the auditors, but would give no indication as to if they had made any of their findings known. “There’s nothing that I’m prepared to talk about at this time,” Shaw said. The issue was raised by resident Wendell Scroggins at a council meeting on Jan. 25, alleging that a number of checks that patrons had See AUDIT • Page 3
Chonita’s Cookers win big at Talladega Cook-Off By DAVID GRANGER Staff Writer
The pressure is off for Chonita’s Cookers until the 2016 state finals of the Alabama Wildlife Federation Wild Game Cook-Off in August. That’s because the Alexander City cooking team secured its spot in the state competition by winning Saturday’s Talladega cook-off with its Pheasant Isabella Tacos. “It was crazy up there Saturday,” said team member Severa McGrady. “We also came in third place in fish with our Cajun Shrimp Nachos, but the tacos got us the spot in state.” McGrady said, even with a state spot secured, the Cookers will likely compete in a couple more competitions before the state finals on Aug. 6. “The good thing is that there’s no pressure Submitted / The Outlook now,” said McGrady. “We can just throw Chonita’s Cookers, including Mark McGrady, Severa McGrady, Angel Davis and Joey Davis, was presented some new recipes out there and try them the “Best Overall” award by Talladega SuperSpeedway’s Russell Branham (left) and Patrick Barfield (right) at See WINNERS • Page 3 Saturday’s Alabama Wildlife Federation Wild Game Cook-Off held at Talladega SuperSpeedway. +

DEAR ABBY: I’m 39 and seven months’ pregnant with my husband’s only child. Since becoming pregnant, I have become somewhat withdrawn due to depression. My doctor prescribed Paxil, but my husband won’t allow me to take it. I don’t leave the house unless I absolutely need to because he accuses me of cheating on him daily. Two nights ago he took a single female friend out to dinner and they were gone for five hours. It hurt my feelings because in my view it was disrespectful on both their parts. When they got back, I was sitting outside and she wouldn’t even come to say goodbye to me. When I asked my husband why I hadn’t been invited, he said, “Neither of us wanted you there.” In his eyes he has done nothing wrong. He tells me I’m crazy and I need mental help. Am I wrong for being so upset? -- NOT CRAZY IN TEXAS
National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) -- the phone number is 1-800-7997233 -- because you may need help to get safely away. DEAR ABBY Advice
DEAR NOT CRAZY: Not at all. It appears you are married to a controlling, emotionally abusive man who may be cheating on you. One of the hallmarks of philanderers is that they will accuse the innocent partner of cheating. Feeling depressed during a pregnancy under these circumstances isn’t surprising. (If you felt any other way, you WOULDN’T be normal.) That your doctor would prescribe an antidepressant and your husband would “not allow” you to take it is alarming. If you have close friends and family, I urge you to tell them what’s going on. And while you’re at it, contact The
DEAR ABBY: I currently live in a situation where my husband, our two kids and I share a home with my parents, two sisters and younger brother. Sometimes it seems crowded because there is no privacy and a lack of respect. Lately I am having a problem with my sister. Despite the fact that she and my family share the upstairs level of the home, she continues to walk around nude or in her undergarments throughout the day because she “hates” wearing clothes. At various times my family members and I have had uncomfortable encounters with her over this. I have talked to her about it repeatedly, but she refuses to cooperate. I think it’s rude, inconsider-
ate and inappropriate, not to mention a completely avoidable problem. What do you think? Am I wrong for being upset that her behavior doesn’t change and the message doesn’t seem to get through to her? -- CLOTHES-MINDED DEAR CLOTHES-MINDED: I agree that your sister’s behavior is inappropriate. She should not be parading around in a state of undress in front of your husband and children. Because she has chosen to ignore your requests, enlist the help of your parents to get the message across to her. It’s their roof she’s under, and perhaps they will have better luck.

Smokin’ Aces – Jason Hilyer, Jackie Hilyer, Greg Moore and Jesse Weeks – took second with its stuffed wild turkey breast called Longbeard’s Last Stand.

written for goods and services at Lakewinds seemed to have been lost in the process, never clearing the patrons’ bank. Alexander City Parks and Recreation Director Sonny Wilson said at the same meeting he believes the amount of missing funds could be as much as $120,000. Shaw said several times over the last 37 days that the accounting firm of Carr, Riggs and Ingram has been working independently and meeting with key staff to look into the matter. Scroggins said he knew of several checks, some of more than $1,000, that never cleared the bank. Scroggins said that he was aware of two of his checks that never cleared, one as recent at Dec. 10.

investigation. Shaw said as of Monday at 3 p.m., the Alexander City Police Department has not been asked to launch and investigation. A search of incident reports with the Alexander City Police Department found no reports of missing golf course checks being investigated for the last seven months. Councilmember Tony Goss said that delay in getting answers is creating more questions with city residents. “The delay is unfortunate in that it is hurting the city’s credibility,” Goss said. “Having this issue lingering creates a cloud over the mayor, the council and everyone involved.”

would be tempted to ask way too much for their home and not be able to sell. “Rather we like the 12 month comparison where we compare year over year. That analysis takes out the volatility found in the monthly numbers. So here are the annual stats. For the 12 months ending in January 2015 the median waterfront sales price was $395,000. Median for the year ending January 2016 was $430,500. That is an increase of 9.7 percent – in real estate that is a very impressive increase – especially when compared with returns from the stock market, money markets and savings accounts. Even more impressive – and possibly of greater interest to your average reader is that for the same periods the average sales price for a waterfront residential property (houses and condos) increased from $456,124 to $513,361. That is an increase of 12.5%. If I owned

a lakefront property I would feel better about the value of that asset for sure.” Arnberg said that he expected the trend of increasing waterfront prices to continue because there is greater demand for fewer properties. To add to the trend, lower long-term mortgage rates will be a factor, too, he said. “I think this trend is likely to increase because there is a smaller supply of homes (monthly supply is 33 percent less than last year’s level) and more buyers (transactions are up 27 percent over last year) so lower supply with higher demand nearly always leads to increased prices,” Arnberg said. “A significant factor fueling this demand will be the decrease in interest rates. Long-term mortgage rates do not always follow Fed rate increases. Today’s rate is a good bit lower than the rate in November.”

Our
Opinion
Vote today, F it’s important E
lection Day is upon us. Today, we get to make important decisions about who will make our wishes known in local and state government. As important as voting is, more and more these days we see people who don’t feel the need to cast their ballot. Some think they don’t have the time or feel like their vote doesn’t matter or simply do not care – the truth is that voting today is as important as it ever was. There have been many, many that have been decided by less than 100 votes, especially on the local level. So thinking that your vote does not count could not be farther from the truth. Maybe you feel that when it comes down to it, all the candidates are the same, so why bother voting. Even if this is how you truly feel, remember that the winning candidates may have an enormous impact on our lives. They vote on tax rates and how your money is spent. Since we don’t get to weigh in on each issue, we have to elect people who feel the same way that we do if we can even hope to have our views heard. Consider this: Our government is supposed to represent us. If we don’t express our wishes about who we want representing us and about the proposed laws and changes to laws, we will not be represented as intended. A vote is a powerful form of expression and power. The truth is that we are rarely asked our wishes or opinions about things that matter. So when we are asked to voice our wishes, we should do so – or perhaps people will quit asking. America is a nation where every voice can be heard and those who vote ensure that in at least this one way, their voices are heard. Why would you want to miss out on that opportunity? Even more importantly, men and women over the years have sacrificed everything to ensure we continue to have the freedoms we have, including the right to vote. So today, go to the polls and make your wishes known.

If a fifth grader in a rural Alabama county can only access the Internet via a dialup connection, she will be at a competitive disadvantage compared to her peers in Birmingham or Atlanta. For a recent college graduate who has moved back to his hometown to start a new business, access to quality, high-speed Internet is essential to grow his company and create jobs. A young doctor opening a rural health clinic must send huge amounts of data to other medical practices and hospitals to effectively care for her patients. In each instance, data and information must be transmitted quickly via broadband networks for our Alabama student, entrepreneur, and doctor to succeed. Yet there is a roadblock confronting Alabama’s economic growth: right now, only 66 percent of Alabamians have access to high-speed (broadband) Internet and only a minority of that 66 percent have Internet access via fiberoptic cable. Fiber-optic is a method of delivering broadband that is significantly faster than either cable or DSL, the two alternative delivery modes for broadband. So currently, some Alabamians don’t have access to any high-speed Internet and far too few have access to the fastest delivery method in fiber-optic broadband. Because of the large initial cost to install fiber optic networks necessary for broad-

band Internet, many private telecom/cable companies are unwilling to invest in extending crucial Internet services to rural Alabama. That is why only 44 percent of Alabamians living outside cities have broadband Internet service, according to the Federal Communications Commission. To help fill the broadband gap and spur economic growth, I have introduced legislation in the Alabama Senate to allow public providers of municipal telecommunication services to invest in fiber optic broadband Internet networks. These public entities are already delivering much needed phone service and other utilities to areas that traditionally would not receive a connection. Now, they need to be given the same chance to help increase high-speed Internet connectivity. It levels the playing field for competition, which only benefits consumers. My legislation will improve Internet access by creating new providers, which will directly correlate to increased economic development. Locking our municipal telecom providers into arcane coverage areas is a shortsighted approach to protect growthlimiting monopolies. I believe competition is a good thing for consumers. Internet providers – private and municipal alike – have a profit motive to provide the best service at the best price. However, the municipal ser-
vice does not have to generate large profits for shareholders, which means they are more likely to expand coverage to areas where a longer return on capital investment is expected. Some private companies like Google have decided to partner with cities like Huntsville and Austin, Texas to build new fiber-optic networks. That is wonderful. But I am not willing to penalize a smaller city or a rural area if a private company makes a business decision not to invest there. If private Internet providers choose not to build broadband networks in smaller locales, then municipal utilities should have the option to develop those underserved areas. To my mind, it is question of economic fairness for the consumer and economic development for the state. A lot has been said recently about the need to improve Alabama’s roads and bridges, and I certainly agree that our transportation system needs an upgrade. Yet if we ignore the pressing need to expand broadband Internet in Alabama our schools and businesses will languish behind other Southeastern states, no matter how much money we spend on new roads. Over 1.6 million Alabamians lack access to high-speed Internet: that number must be reduced, and quickly, if our state is going to compete and thrive in the twenty-first century.

Letters to the Editor
Reader: We need to be sure city department heads are doing their jobs Dear Editor, We currently have a manager/department head over each department in our city. Each one of these manage their department. It is my understanding that the city engineer(public works director) should manage most of these departments. It would a good idea to hold a meeting with all department heads a few days prior to each council
meeting to discuss accomplishments and goals with the mayor and council and city engineer. This meeting would assure all departments were coordinating efforts together making everyone accountable and not interfering with one another’s work. If the heads of departments work closely with the city engineer, mayor and council then there certainly would not be a need for a new manager on
board. We do not have the funds in our budget for a new manager. So the answer is not to change our current form of government, it is to assure that all seven-plus managers we already have in place are doing the job before them. We do not need a City Manager! Lorenzo H. Grant Alexander City
Voters need to stand up and say it’s time for change Dear Editor, The presidential election is not a congeniality contest! It’s not choosing someone to go out for a cup of coffee or a coke with, and who decides what kind of behavior is “Presidential” anyway? We absolutely have to elect someone who can haul us out of the third world status our government has voted, ruled and spent us into! If we don’t elect someone who can turn America around our economy, military, Christian values and the Constitution will soon be history. We have finally learned that “Conservative Talk
Media”, reaps more profit if we have a Liberal administration that people can grippe about, so Fox has contributed a million plus to Hillary. We are not angry at Obama, but at the media, labor and political parties that have given us Obama and elected employees who go to Washington and forget who is paying their salary, office rent, secretary and staff. Formerly, both the media, political and labor parties controlled who we voted for. It’s more than just Trump’s Outsider status, we have finally realized that the political & labor parties
and Media are responsible for the nation’s imploding. “We the People” may be slow on uptake and processing the information, but we have finally caught on and are “Mad as Hell and We’re Not Going to Take It Anymore!” Or at least not for this election cycle. Hopefully, if ‘We the People’ prevail, some will stay engaged to provide an anti-socialist direction for the future. Thanks for your attention. Sherry Sellers Alexander City

All About Peppers
A pepper is a type of pungent (strong tasting, often spicy) fruit that comes from a variety of different plants. Peppers are used mainly for cooking; they are sometimes dried and ground into spices, used fresh in recipes, jarred and pickled, or made into sauces. A few peppers are known for their medicinal purposes, but all peppers are high in vitamins and antioxidants, making them healthy. There are two main types of peppers--mild, sweet peppers and spicy, hot, chili peppers. Peppers can range from mild to excruciatingly hot, and they vary in color from dark red, orange, or green to light yellow. Most of the heat in peppers comes from a chemical found in them called capsaicin. The more capsaicin, the hotter the pepper is. The heat from peppers is rated by a measurement system known as the Scoville Heat Unit System, created by Wilbur Scoville in 1912. Pure capsaicin is a massive 16 billion on the Scoville scale. The sweet bell pepper measures zero on the scale, while the hottest known pepper, WKH &DUROLQD 5HDSHU WRSV RXW WKH VFDOH DW D UHFRUG ,W ZDV EUHG VSHFL¿FDOO\ IRU KHDW E\ UHsearchers in South Carolina and was recorded as the hottest pepper on Earth in 2013. Other types of hot peppers are the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion (previous record holder for hottest pepper at 2,009,000 Anaheim, Banana, Bell, Bhut Jolokia, Scoville units) and the Bhut Jolokia (1,000,000 Scoville units) once known as the World’s spiciest hot Carolina Reaper, Cayenne, Cherry, pepper. There are also more common peppers like the habanero chili (350,000 Scoville units), Thai Habanero, Hungarian, Jalapeùo, pepper (100,000 Scoville units), cayenne pepper (50,000 Scoville units), and the Jalapeùo pepper Moruga Scorpion, Naga Viper, Poblano, (8,000 Scoville units). The sweet peppers--bell peppers, banana peppers, cubanelles, pepperoncinis Pot Douglah, Pot Red, Santa Fe, Scotch and Anaheim peppers--are commonly used for cooking. Bonnet, Serrano, Thai

CACC drops home match to Snead By ROBERT HUDSON Sports Editor
Robert Hudson / The Outlook
Central Alabama Community College’s Kallie Beall serves during Saturday’s match against Snead State at the Cal Alison Tennis Complex.
The Central Alabama Community College Lady Trojans fell 7-2 to Snead State on Saturday at the Cal Alison Tennis Complex. CACC tennis Coach Wes Coleman said the Lady Trojans were able to capture victories in No. 1 singles and No. 1 doubles, but had to drop points in other areas due to one player being out sick. “We won at our No. 1 singles. Kallie Beall won that No. 1 singles match, and we won at No. 1 doubles with Kallie and Kacy Howard,” Coleman said. “We were definitely shorthanded. We played the match with five players, so we had to forfeit our No. 6 singles line and our No. 3 doubles line, so we started in the hole before we played.” Coleman said the Lady Trojans will have two home matches this week against a pair of unfamiliar opponents. Coleman added he expects the Lady Trojans to be at full strength this week. “We play Marion on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. and we play the rescheduled match with Faulkner on Friday at 2:30 p.m.,” Coleman said. “Both of those are home matches and we haven’t seen either one of those teams in action before. We had seen Snead previously – we played them twice in the fall – but we haven’t seen either one of those two teams before. “Hopefully, we’ll get two good days of practice before that Wednesday match and we should go into this week with a full lineup.”
Benjamin Russell defeats Tigers, Bulldogs By ROBERT HUDSON Sports Editor
The Benjamin Russell Wildcats baseball team wrapped up the weekend with a pair of victories in Tallassee’s Field of Dreams Tournament. On Friday, Benjamin Russell defeated rival Dadeville 7-1 behind a complete game from the mound by pitcher Corley Woods. And on Saturday, the Wildcats road their bats to a 21-6 win over Holtville. Richy Brooks, head coach of Benjamin Russell (5-2), said the Wildcats are pleased to capture a trio of wins last week, but added that there is still room for improvement. “When we finally got to play – three games in three days – we knew we were going to kind of be testing our pitching,” Brooks said. “We got a complete game from Corley on Friday, which was big to help us get into Saturday. We’re pleased. We won three games, but there are still some things we have got to do better.” In the win over Dadeville, Woods pitched seven innings and struck out 11 batters. Benjamin Russell’s Neal Turner had two hits and a RBI, while Connor Brooks also had a couple of hits for Benjamin Russell. Landon Tidwell had one hit and one RBI for Dadeville. Dadeville’s Landon Wilson pitched three innings and struck out three batters, while William Claybrook also pitched three innings and struck out two for the Tigers. Against Holtville, Benjamin Russell was led by Timmy Lawson with four hits and six RBI at the plate, while Darius Jackson had five hits and four RBI. Austin Elliot added two hits and Tanner Barnett had two RBI for Benjamin Russell. Elliot pitched four innings and struck out two batters. Benjamin Russell was trailing Holtville 4-3 before scoring six innings in the top of the fifth, adding five runs in the top of the sixth and finishing with seven runs in the top of the seventh inning. Moving forward, Brooks said he wants to see improvement defensively. “We’ve got to play better defense. We’re not playing great defense right now and we’re having too many errors and too many walks pitching,” Brooks

said. “Those are things that we’ve got to continue to focus on and work on, but I know right now we’ve got too many walks when we’re pitching.” Brooks added that the Wildcats have been down a few key pitchers, but expects the younger players to step up and fill the void. “This week, hopefully, with it being a little bit more spread out will help us out. We’re playing Tuesday and then Saturday, so hopefully we can
have some guys recover during that stretch,” Brooks said. “Until we get everybody back, which we don’t know that we will, and healthy again we’re just going to have to have some guys step up again and log some innings. We got some young guys we were hoping to get a few innings in, but now they’re going to get more than a few.” Benjamin Russell will host Auburn at the Sportplex today at 5 p.m.

Ref-hating, 2017 recruiting and NFL Combine
A
nother year, another week at the AHSAA basketball championships. Hopefully I will have a good report on those games next week, but for now below are a few sorted topics. Alabama overcame poor free throw shooting and even worse officiating to defeat Auburn Saturday in a game that the Tide had to win. ‘Bama’s NCAA hopes are still alive, perhaps only because Auburn had charity stripe and striped shirt issues themselves. Regardless, a win is a win in this crucial month for Alabama. Eventually someone other than Retin Obasohan is going to have to step up down the stretch to cement a Big Dance bid, but for now it’s all about surviving and advancing. I have a disdain for ref-haters. It’s not ALWAYS the officials fault your team lost. The game has human error built in and we should all accept poor calls on occasion. That said, the Alabama-Auburn contest was practically ruined by bad officiating. The only bright spot was it was so near-criminally terrible that both teams fell victim. I don’t think there was an advantage gained by either squad as both were the recipient of poor calls throughout the day. Far be it from me to slow the game down with more in-the-moment reviews but I am all for a thorough post-game review of the ability of the three guys impersonating referees last Saturday. Last week on the Talkin’ Tuscaloosa podcast (@TalkinTusc) I record each week with Jimmy Stein, I had a mini-rant about the Alabama women’s basketball team. Why can’t this squad get better? Each year the Lady Tide seems to be anchored to the bottom of the conference standings. Then, that night after we recorded the podcast, Alabama defeated the Tennessee Lady Vols for the first time in 32 years. All is not right with the world and the UT program isn’t what it once was, but maybe – just MAYBE – that type of win can change the women’s fortunes. 2017 recruiting is already burning up the interwebs. The state of Alabama has a four-star-studded field and there are national guys that are sure to be All-Pros one day. However, my favorite name in this recruiting cycle is one Markaviest Bryant out of Georgia. He is a fourstar talent and being looked at by just about every SEC school. Some coach will be a very happy camper come signing day 2017. However, he is my personal fave based on the name alone. I can just hear a reporter asking his coach now, “Coach, how is the Bryant kid looking?” “Well, as always, he is the ‘Markaviest’ one out there.” Derrick Henry had a Monster NFL Combine. He weighed in at 247 pounds. He leapt 37 inches in the air. He ran a 4.52 forty-yard dash, which is astounding considering his size. Yet, there are those that STILL don’t buy into his abilities. They discount his Heisman season in the meat-grinder that is the SEC. They attribute his success to Alabama’s all-around greatness across the board. They see an upright runner who couldn’t possibly take a long-term NFL beating. My warning to that bunch: Pass over him at your own peril. Robinson is a sports columnist for The Outlook and is president of the Lake Martin Area Bama Club.

Alexander City Elks Lodge gives back
Cliff Williams / The Outlook
The Alexander City Elks Lodge made two presentations Monday night. A check in the amount of $3,000 to Camp ASCCA and, bottom, a basketball to Dadeville Elementary School fifth grader Neill Trotman. Trotman stole the hearts of the Elks at their recent Hoops Shoot event where Trotman competed. “I have worked with youth programs since I became an Elk,” Andy Milwid said. “One of the things we always thought was important was not that you get knocked down but that you get back up. How many times can you face adversity and still keep a smile on your face. Neill came to Hoops Shoot. He did not win it but he won the hearts of everyone there for his effort.” For his effort the Elks gave Neill the Mr. Attitude Award and a leather Elks basketball. Elk Tim Funderburke told how the lodge acquired the funds for the donation and why the camp is so special to them. “This is the profit from the New Year’s Eve Bash with the Sweet Young Uns,” Funderburke said. “The camp is important to us. It is just two miles up the river from our lodge.” Camp ASCCA’s Dana Rickman explained how the camp would use the donation. “This money is going to our campership fund,” Rickman said. “That is the fund that helps campers who cannot otherwise afford it come to camp.” Rickman also let the Lodge know that they had been recognized for their efforts at Camp ASCCA. “You are the organization of the year for Camp ASCCA,” Rickman said. “It is in recognition of your volunteerism and donations.”
