Teen arrested in Reeltown social media threat

By MITCH SNEED Editor

Submitted / The Record

This comment, shown in a cropped screenshot, was one of the threats posted on a Tallapoosa County Board of Education Facebook post Monday evening.

Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department investigators have a 15-year-old in custody who is believed to be involved in a threat posted via social media against Reeltown High School and Reeltown Elementary School late Monday.

Sheriff Jimmy Abbett confirmed that someone was taken into custody at about 6 a.m.

Tuesday after investigators worked throughout the night to locate the responsible party.

“It doesn’t appear that it was a credible threat at this time, but this is still an active investigation,� Abbett said. “But we do have someone in custody and school is still being held as scheduled today.�

The threats, one that talked of a shooting and another that mentioned a bomb, were posted on the Tallapoosa County Board of Education Facebook page as a comment on a positive thought posting.

Judy Waters and two other representatives from the recently formed non-profit organization “Everything’s Art� presented their plans for bringing a greater art community to Dadeville to the Dadeville City Council at Tuesday night’s meeting. “We want to consider many avenues of involvement here in town,� Waters said. “We want to provide art lovers with a place to come and view art, and a place to do art as well.�

Currently, the group is working to renovate a building in downtown Dadeville to meet their needs, namely having a front section serving as a gallery, while the back portion of the building will be made up as a workshop where art classes and other similar events can be held.

As a non-profit, the group will be able to apply for grants in order to further their offerings to the public. The plan Waters and her associates presented was to open the new facility at the end of June, and work with programs like the City of Lights to revive the local arts community, adding to what Dadeville offers its residents and visitors alike.

Rodeo Club in person during normal business hours, or by calling 256-252-1023.

Bates comes to Dadeville riding a wave on success on the gospel music charts.

His single “Judging Judas� hit the No. 1 spot on the Christian Country Music Chart in February. Bates said that success proved that good music and a good job cross any and all lines. “I’ve been a country singer almost my whole adult life,�

Bates said. “When you are with a major label you do what someone else tells you to and sing what they want you to sing. It’s almost like you work

for hire. That song would never have been recorded, much less released on a major label. But being at the point I am now, I get to sing songs that have meaning to me and my life.

That makes it special to me and I think the fans sense that when they come out to hear us.�

Bates said fans are likely to hear everything from his standard hits, stuff from his “Me and Conway� CD, country classics, some gospel and songs that cross all emotional realms. “I love for people to come to a show and leave with the feeling it was at a big party in a field or in their backyard,�

Bates said. “My mama told me to ‘go up there and close your eyes and sing what you feel.’ That’s exactly what I have been doing and it sure feels good.�

The emotional nature of his music often pulls from some rough times Bates survived in his life.

Bates said he became addicted to meth in 1999 and was arrested in 2001 for grand theft and drug possession. He said he could make a lot of excuses, including the grind of travel and performing non-stop.

But when Bates left prison, he was determined to learn from the ordeal. “It taught me what’s

important in life and how to put stuff in its proper place,�

Bates said. “From what I went through it’s also taught me to be a little more understanding, especially when people who are struggling are making an honest effort. “It also taught me to enjoy every minute, because you never know what tomorrow will bring. I’d like to think some of that shows up in my songs because that’s exactly what I feel in my heart.�

The Rodeo Club is located at 10268 County Road 34 in Dadeville. Call 256-252-1023 for information on Saturday’s show.

Library and the program starts the week of June 14,� library director Abbi Mangarelli said. “The weekly programs will be on Thursdays at 3 p.m., running through July 19.�

This year’s program is musically themed, “Libraries Rock,� and is open to all ages, though Mangarelli said it would be focused more on toddlers and young adults. “I’m excited that it’s a musical theme this year,� Mangarelli said.

continued from page A1

When participants register for the program, Mangarelli said they would set their reading goals along with one of the librarians before signing a reading contract for the agreedupon goals. For those who meet their goals, there will be prizes awarded, as well as for the top readers for the program. The amount read will depend on the participant’s age, with younger readers being logged on the time spent reading, while older

readers will be keeping track of the titles they complete.

In addition to the overall goal awards, the library will also be providing readers with bingo cards containing squares with specific objectives, such as “read a book of poetry� or “read an author you’ve never read before,� which can be filled in as participants complete those goals.

Prizes will be awarded to readers who make a bingo on their card.

While she was in the process of lining up a summer full of guests, Mangarelli said Dr. Magical Balloons, who has been a part of the summer reading program before, has been confirmed as a guest for the June 21 program.

With so many activities on the horizon for the summer, the reading program at the Dadeville Public Library is sure to be an exciting time for readers looking to keep active

during the break from school. “We’re happy to be offering this again,�

Mangarelli said.

Abbett could not comment on how the suspect was identified, but Lt. Bill Hough is recognized as one of the state’s best cybercrimes investigators after going through extensive training in these matters.

Fifth Judicial Circuit District Attorney Jeremy Duerr was also involved Monday

Ironically, a similar threat went out against Macon County Schools Monday. There is no indication if the two incidents may be related.

Schneiderman latest corrupted by power Our Mission Electronic threats no DAVID OurView

longer anonymous

A

routine Monday quickly took a turn Monday evening after threats against Reeltown High School and Reeltown Elementary were posted to the Tallapoosa County Board of Education Facebook page.

Overnight, Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department investigators worked their network of sources and developed an IP address where they believe the threat originated.

A 15-year-old female, a student at Reeltown was taken into custody.

The quick work of investigators and the way the entire ordeal was handled should be applauded.

School officials took down the site and communicated with parents by alternate means. They were able to quickly determine that there was no credible threat and were able to open schools, with added security, as scheduled.

Of the many questions still to be answered in this case, one stands out: Why? Why would a student make such a threat, and with such violent overtones?

Did the person responsible consider this some kind of prank?

Was it a sick practical joke that went over the line? Didn’t the poster realize that in this time of school shootings and mass terror attacks that even the mention of a shooting or a bomb at a school would touch off panic?

What the heck was the person who did this thinking?

Obviously, they weren’t thinking at all.

For years, the online world’s cloak of anonymity provided people the ability to say and do things without fear of coming face to face with others and law enforcement in particular.

These days, the digital footprint that every keystroke leaves is traceable and people need to understand that before they pull stunts like this.

Just as technology has developed, so has the ability of investigators to track down those who insist on spewing hate online. In this instance, some solid internet sleuthing led to the IP address where the original Instagram post was created and a person is in juvenile detention.

We hope this will serve as a warning to any person who entertains the thought of pulling something like this in the future. If you try a stunt like this, investigators will track you down and put you in jail. So, don’t do it.

“P

ower tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

Those are the words of Lord John Acton, a 19th century English Catholic historian, politician and writer.

And they have never been made more evidently true than on Monday with the meteoric fall of former New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.

It was on Monday that The New Yorker hit the newsstands featuring an account of Schneiderman’s assault of four women. Two of the women – Michelle Manning Barish and Tanya Selvaratnam – spoke openly on the record about their relationships with the 63-year-old Schneiderman.

The other two women expressed to New Yorker writers Jane Mayer and Ronan Farrow they wished to remain unidentified.

It was also on Monday that Schneiderman, who had stepped up as a champion of the #MeToo movement in New York (He sued Hollywood’s disgraced Harvey Weinstein demanding greater compensation for the victims of his alleged sexual crimes), chose to step down from his position.

In a statement issued Monday night, Schneiderman said the allegations “which I strongly contest” would “effectively prevent me from

GRANGER Managing editor of TPI’s Elmore County newspapers

leading the office’s work at this critical time.”

Schneiderman has been a vocal critic of President Trump and more recently taken on Scott Pruitt, Trump’s embattled head of the Environmental Protection Agency.

But all of that official angst is over now for Schneiderman, likely because he let the power of high public office in a media capital like the state of New York corrupt him.

The New Yorker’s account of Schneiderman’s troubles paints a picture of a harddrinking man that perpetuated much of the abuse he’s been accused of in the midst of sexual encounters with the women – so hard drinking, in fact, that, to Barish’s shock, he once showed up at her door to apologize for an incident of alcohol-fueled alleged assault with an “armload of flowers” and a case of wine.

Barish says he called her a “whore” and slapped her with an open hand during a moment that was supposed to be intimate. One of the unidentified women says Schneiderman also slapped her with an open hand. In her

case, the blow left a mark that remained visible the following day. She sent a picture of how her face appeared after this incident to The New Yorker.

Schneiderman was also accused by Selvaratnam of spitting on her and calling her his “little brown princess.”

Selvaratnam is Sri Lankan.

Certainly there are two sides to every story, even the sordid tale of Schneiderman to which we were introduced on Monday. But The New Yorker appears to have done excellent reporting in this instance. There are things cited in the article that make it difficult to believe Schneiderman did not assault the women who have made these claims.

Yes, he was a champion of women’s rights in his public persona. But, if the stories about Schneiderman are true, what he allegedly did to these four women when alone with them has caused much more pain than his work has brought about good.

Another man corrupted by his political power?

Perhaps. And, if so, our culture needs to try to get to the bottom of what creates these monsters.

Five days in my lucky blue shirt

I

was going to wear my white shirt, but I didn’t have a clean undershirt. So, I wore my blue shirt to my fourth straight event without washing it. Then, the next day, I wore it to my fifth straight event. It wasn’t dirty. It was clean-ish.

I’m not opposed to having my dress clothes cleaned, but if it’s not visibly dirty or blatantly smelly, I’m going to wear it a time or two before taking to have it cleaned.

The first two events took place over in Georgia, and, dare I say, both events were rather peachy. The initial wearing of the shirt this time around was at a fundraiser for the 127 Legacy Foundation in Snellville. It was exciting and a blessing to have family and friends in attendance.

I performed at this fundraiser two years ago, so I was honored they’d have me back. They are a worthy organization. Their mission statement says it all: we assist orphanages and children’s homes across Indonesia as they reach, rescue and restore the lives of needy children with the love of God. Four days later I was down in the lovely town of Blakely. I know I wasn’t stinky, because the South Georgia gnats didn’t carry me away. The “no-seeums” in that part of the state are in a league of their own.

My Blakely day was just perfect. The drive down was wonderful. There’s a lot to see and do in South Georgia, and I can’t wait to take the family back down that way. History, nature, state parks, and Indian mounds are in abundance in the area.

I performed at the Blakely Chamber of Commerce for their Administrative Professional Luncheon. We had

JODY FULLER Columnist an absolute blast. It’s truly one of the best days I’ve ever had doing comedy. I could do no wrong, but it wasn’t about me; it was them. They wanted to laugh, and boy did they!

There were maybe 100 folks in attendance and three of them were guys. The demographics were significant for the day, because earlier in the day, I received a message from a very kind lady at a church in Florida who told me the committee had passed on me speaking at a lady’s conference this summer.

While she was in my corner, the rest felt I couldn’t relate to them.

That made me laugh. They don’t know my story. I was raised by a lady and live with a house full of ladies. I think I’m a subject matter expert on ladies. Well, as good as a man can be anyway, which doesn’t make me an expert at all, does it? I think I just confused myself.

My blue shirt hung in the closet for a few days, before I broke it out for an abbreviated performance at the Beta Sigma Phi social gathering in Alexander City. I’m from around here so I usually call it “Elex City.” With exception of Jake, the owner of the restaurant, the room was 100 percent female. We had so much fun. Take that, Florida church ladies.

I’d planned on retiring the blue shirt, but as stated previously, I didn’t have an undershirt to wear with the white shirt. I thought I needed the white shirt for my gray suit that I’d planned on wearing,

but Lucy, in her infinite wisdom, told me that my blue shirt would match my gray suit. Who knew? Not me.

The next day, I was back in Alex City at Russell Medical Center’s Cancer Survivor Dinner. You talk about a good time. I can’t put into words how blessed I was to be there.

I usually try to motivate my audience with my talks, but this time around, I was the one being motivated by this room filled with brave warriors.

The show went rather well.

Afterwards, a gentleman told me, “You and Jeff Foxworthy are the two funniest comedians I’ve ever met.” I considered that high praise. When I asked him what comedians he’d met, he told me, “Well, you and Jeff Foxworthy.”

The next day, I wore my blue shirt to a radio interview in Birmingham. I don’t know why; it was radio, after all. The interview was in regard to a fundraiser I’m honored to be a part of in Bessemer. It’s to support the Clay House, which is a safe place and advocacy group for abused children and non-offending parents.

When leaving, I gave LaShon, the executive director of Clay House, a hug. She got make-up all over my right shoulder, so after five events, it was officially time to send my blue shirt to the cleaners.

The fundraiser is on May 10, so I’ll probably have it back by then. If not, it’s okay. I have three of them.

Two previous suspects in trouble again

In a follow up to an April bust, two suspects charged previously have continued to run into trouble with the law. On April 16, the Task Force arrested Alysha Royer and Johnathan Hubbard for trafficking methamphetamine.

The two individuals made bond and were subsequently released on April 17. On April 26, both subjects were arrested a second time for possession of a controlled substance after found to be in possession of meth and cocaine.

While in jail on May 3, Royer was found to be in possession of a controlled substance after meth was found. She was also charged with promoting prison contraband in the Tallapoosa County Jail.

Royer is being charged for this crime as well.

continued from page A1

a grand jury indictment had been returned against him. “The arrest stems from an investigation into the sexual abuse of a child that was reported to police on Aug. 10, 2015; the incident occurred at a residence on Oak Street,� the release stated. “The investigation was initiated when officials were made aware that a child had possibly been sexually abused by Williams, while in his care prior to August 10th in 2015. The Auburn Police Division, with the assistance of the Lee County Department of Human Resources, investigated the incident.�

The case had been presented to grand juries on two separate occasions and each time insufficient evidence was found to proceed to trial with the case.

Auburn Police Chief Paul Register said he was unaware if any new evidence had emerged between the two previous presentments and this one.

Williams, who is a staff writer and photographer for Tallapoosa Publishers, issued a brief statement. “From the time these claims initially arose, I have maintained my innocence,� Williams said. “The allegations were taken up by two grand juries in October 2015

and August 2016. I am innocent. I have and always will maintain my innocence.�

Williams was transported to the Lee County Jail and was released after posting a $50,000 bond. Outside of civil matters and a divorce, only a traffic ticket is listed in Williams’ criminal history.

Court records show a June 6 court date has been set for a hearing in the case. By definition, an indictment is only an allegation Sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12 is a Class B felony in Alabama and a conviction can carry a sentence of two to 20 years in prison.

The Dadeville Record

Drill

continued from page A1

Dadeville Healthcare, a nursing home facility, did take part in the practice.

“Because they are in the danger zone, the nursing home is going to go into their emergency mode,” Dadeville fire fighter and city council member Roy Mathis said.

For this scenario, the nursing would evacuate to another facility.

“We evacuated 97 residents and transported them New Covenant Church,” Prime Healthcare’s Brantley Newton said at the press conference. “They are now back.”

For the drill, the facility practiced for a hazardous event, a shelter in place and to evacuate. The residents and staff never left but did practice by going to staging points for evacuation or to shelter in place.

In the event of a disaster like this, the Lake Martin Area United Way would be helping with 211, a system to help to get information out to family members of those involved. It allows for family members to get information on an incident.

The system can also be used for everyday needs.

Taking part in Wednesday’s drill was the Dadeville Police Department, the Dadeville Fire Department, the Jacksons Gap Police Department, the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department, Tallapoosa EMS, Tallapoosa County Board of Education, Dadeville Healthcare, the Tallapoosa EMA and the Alex City Rescue Squad.

If it were a real world situation, a lot more activity would have been seen around Dadeville.

“The danger zone for this is a halfmile,” Mathis said. “If it were the real world, we would have to shut down the town. If you go a half-mile from here, you have the courthouse, DHR and the school.”

our city,” Tallapoosa County EMA Director Jason Moran said at a mock press conference. “There was a MVA that involved a gas truck and a school bus.”

“The first units arrived to find a Tallapoosa County School bus had rear ended a propane truck,” Dadeville Police Sgt. Jonathan Floyd said. “The first officers on the scene noted that we had a live leak with the propane truck and that there were multiple injures on the school bus.”

But before Tallapoosa EMS could take care of student victims from the Edward Bell Career Technology Center, the Dadeville Fire Department had to take care of the leak on the propane truck.

Four firefighters took two hoses with water creating a shield from the truck to approach the truck’s emergency shut off.

Finally, medics could take care of the seven students on board and take them to Lake Martin Community Hospital for care.

“We had our students from our career tech center that were en route to a field day on the bus as well as one of our teachers and the bus driver,” Tallapoosa County School Superintendent Joe Windle said at the press conference. “At this time, all parents who had students on board the bus have been notified. If you have not been notified, you did not have children on the bus. We have also relocated the board of education to Dadeville High School.”

If this scenario were real, the Dadeville High School auditorium would have been used as a reunification center as the elementary school would have been evacuated as well.

This was first disaster drill held in several years in Dadeville and it provided everyone involved a chance to hone their skills for when the real thing happens.

Left, personnel from Tallapoosa EMS load a mock patient who was removed from the “wrecked” school bus in Wednesday’s drill. Below, Tallapoosa County EMA Director Jason Moran speaks at a mock press conference for the drill.

• Minutes from the April 24 meeting were approved.

• Mayor Wayne Smith was proud to announce that the A-TRIP/Lafayette Street project was essentially completed.

• Councilman Dick Harrelson said he had spoken with the third contractor who had bid on the project to repair the police department building. This contractor showed he had all of the necessary insurance and licenses to complete the project. With this information, the council voted to approve Resolution 18-014, an agreement to have the police department building repairs completed by the approved contractor.

• All of the paperwork to continue with the courthouse square project is currently at ALDOT and awaiting further action.

• Building Inspector Michael Richardson said the building department recently held a hearing to rezone a property on Whatley Street from residential to commercial, and approved going ahead with the rezoning.

While the council will have to approve a resolution at the next meeting to officially allow this change, the council did approve a motion to follow the department’s recommendation.

• Brent Payne with the cemetery department asked if it would be possible to look at getting another part-time employee to help with maintenance. The council approved a motion, allowing him to begin the interview process for the spot.

• Eugene Collum from the street department said work on an issue spot along Cusseta Street had been fixed.

• Police Chief David Barbour brought up concerns about speed issues at the intersection of Young’s Ferry Road and Gibson Road. It was mentioned the city could look at potential caution signs along the approach to the intersection.

• Library Director Abbi Mangarelli said it had been a busy month at the library, while they were also able to collect three boxes worth of canned goods during fine amnesty month.

• During the pre-council meeting, Councilman Roy Mathis reminded everyone of the mock disaster drill Wednesday morning. He also said he has received a number of complaints from people wanting to know why the crews working on repaving Highway 280 could not do the work at night. Smith replied that ALDOT, not the city, sets the work schedule for projects like this, and works at night in larger cities with plenty of available lighting. Lastly, Mathis asked if city employees working outdoors would be going to a schedule of 10 hours a day, four days a week as they have in the past. If this decision was approved, he believed there would need to be some coordination between the city departments.

• Smith said he received a call from a local businessman regarding food trucks in the city limits. He asked the council to be thinking about it, believing food trucks can be a positive addition to the city, but wanted to make sure the playing field is still level for everyone.

• Councilwoman Betty Adams said the resident at 399 Martin Luther King Jr. Street had asked about having a drain cleared. Adams also said she has received several more complaints about dogs running loose in town.

• City Attorney Robin Reynolds provided the council with copies of the recently passed Emily’s Law, regarding vicious dogs. Smith said Wednesday he was in the process of reviewing the law and believed it would help with the issue of dogs in town.

•When Dadeville native Bucky Heard came to town Sunday and sang at First Baptist Church of Dadeville, Smith presented him with a proclamation, celebrating the musician and declaring Sunday to be “Bucky Heard Day” in Dadeville.

• Resident Raphord Farrington said the beautification committee will be having its first meeting this evening.

He also said he has been talking with a company about spraying to control kudzu and privet on private property in the city.

Rebels capture area title against Horseshoe Bend

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

For the second year in a row, Reeltown’s softball team took down its rival, Horseshoe Bend, to earn the Class 2A Area 8 championship.

The Generals beat LaFayette in a pair of 15-0, three-inning games, but couldn’t quite overcome Reeltown. They lost the first game, 5-0, then the Rebels came out on top in the title game, 7-2.

“It feels good,” Reeltown coach Kelli Hilyer said. “It feels like what we’ve been doing these past couple years has really paid off. I was thinking the whole time, though, that it’s so awesome that in our area here, two schools in our county (are going to regionals). You’d thinking winning (the area) helps because you get a runner-up from another area, but in regionals, all the teams are tough.”

Horseshoe Bend proved last year that being the runner up out of Area 8 may not be such a bad thing, as it advanced to state as the South Central Regional runner-up while Reeltown was sent packing.

“I feel pretty good (about regionals),” Horseshoe Bend coach Hagen Vickers said. “Like any coach, I’ve done my digging, finding out about the other teams that are going to be down there. I feel like if we can keep this going and take it down there with us, who knows? We might get to play Reeltown again and get another crack at them.”

The Generals got much closer to Reeltown during Thursday’s area tournament than they had earlier in the season, but the Rebels’ offense was just too much to handle, as they combined for 28 hits in the two games.

“Well, last weekend we had some trouble hitting the ball, so we really focused this week in practice on seeing the ball and a lot on bunting,” Reeltown senior Kayli Hornsby said. “We improved today. We took everything from practice and put it in the game.”

Lizi Arbogast / The Record

Reeltown won the Class 2A Area 8 softball championship last Thursday with a 7-2 victory over Horseshoe Bend.

In the first game, Reeltown opened the scoring with a run in the first inning then tacked on two more in both the third and fifth frames.

Katlyn Jaye led the offense with three hits, while Morgan McGuire, Hornsby, Ayriana Stoneback and Ashlynn Thomas each had a pair of hits. Stoneback drove in two runs.

In Game 2, the Rebels scored early and often before holding off Horseshoe Bend for the win.

Reeltown opened the scoring with an RBI double from Hornsby in the top of the first, then Hornsby and Jaye switched places, as Jaye notched a double of her own.

Jaye drove in another run in the third with her second double of the day, and Makenzie Baker hit a sacrifice fly to drive in Kelsey Jaye.

Reeltown scored some insurance with two runs in the fourth inning on doubles

by Kyndel Lee and Hornsby.

Horseshoe Bend wasn’t without its opportunities though. In the second, Horseshoe Bend got two on with an Ivy

Vickers single an error, but the Rebels erased the threat with a double play. In the bottom of the fifth, the Generals put two on with only one out by drawing back-toback walks but they couldn’t drive any in.

“We just couldn’t get the momentum going,” Hagen Vickers said. “We played them well today, we just couldn’t find the momentum at the right time. I’m proud of the way they played because we definitely played them better than we have previously this season.”

Finally HBS broke through on a tworun single by Ivy Vickers in the bottom of the sixth, but that was all she wrote.

Stoneback kept the Generals on their toes all day, allowing just eight hits through two games. She struck out 18 and walked only three, and neither of the runs Reeltown allowed were earned.

“I think she’s just mentally tough,” Hilyer said. “Her and KK (Katlyn Jaye) work well together. They call the game with each other. They know how to calm each other down. I think Ayriana likes a little competition, so she steps up in the big situations.”

To say that Dadeville’s three-sport star Qua Tucker stole the show at the 4A State Track Meet in Gulf Shores would be an understatement.

Tucker finished the meet with four gold medals with times of 10.63 seconds in the 100, 21.80 in the 200, 14.12 in the 110 hurdles and a 39.39 in the 300 hurdles.

Dadeville track coach and principal Chris Hand said it was an incredible performance to witness.

“It was just an awesome display of speed and athleticism,” Hand said. “The hurdles are his best events and he just dominated in both of those, but in the 100 and 200, he had to work and drive to win those.

“I think people know what a special runner he was going in, but if they didn’t, they do now. It was a treat to watch and we sure are going to miss him.”

Tucker, who won three golds a year ago, has signed to play football at Troy University, where he is viewed as a can’t miss prospect at receiver.

The Tigers were also represented by Josh Taylor who placed seventh in the 300 hurdles with a time of 42.53. Ladarrius Moore placed ninth in the triple jump with a leap of 41 feet 6.75 inches. Jalen Sullivan leapt 38 feet 3.25 inches for a 21st-place finish in the triple jump. Jamauri Chislom pushed the shot put to a 15th place finish with a distance of 40 feet 6.25 inches.

The distance team at Benjamin Russell did well at the state meet.

Farm tour gives students ideas about agricultural careers

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Just where does food come from?

What jobs are out there that will allow someone to be outside?

Those were just a couple of questions the Tallapoosa County Farmers Federation helped answer with a farm tour for Tallapoosa County junior and senior students at the farm of Neal Kelly just south of Alexander City.

“We wanted to get them out on a real working farm,” Tallapoosa County Farmers Federation’s Vickie Watkins said. “We are hoping to spark an interest in farming or anything agricultural.

Ag careers is the main scope of it.”

More than 100 students from Benjamin Russell, Dadeville, Horseshoe Bend and Reeltown schools toured the farm and officials with the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the Alabama Forestry Commission, the Alabama Department of Transportation, Auburn University, the Extension Service and the Cattlemen’s and Farmers

associations were on hand to explain some of the many jobs in the world in agriculture.

The event was made possible through a grant from the Coosa Valley Resource Conservation and Development Council.

Kelly gave a demonstration of the sawmill on his farm, though he said he doesn’t really run it.

“She (Lucy Lawrence) has been sawing for me a little over six years,” Kelly said. Not only is she good, but she can run this thing’s computer. You program it to cut the dimension lumber you want.”

Kelly did say he could run the Wood-Mizer after a few modifications.

“If I had to run it, I would take a hammer and beat it all to pieces and figure out how to straight wire it to make it work.”

The sawmill is not the only place Lawrence helps Kelly as he tried to give the students an idea that agriculture is not just for guys.

“I tell her all the time she is my right hand man,” Kelly said.

“Not only at the mill, but she feeds cattle for me or whatever.”

Kelly introduced his friend Maron McConnell to the students.

Neal Kelly speaks with students as Lucy Lawrence operates a saw mill at Friday’s farm tour at Kelly’s farm.

He explained McConnell is more of an artist able to take the scraps from the sawmill and turn them into works of art. McConnell said he doesn’t need the big pieces of lumber to make some of the wooden trays he makes.

McConnell is also able to use wood products in a different way.

“This was a straight back chair like your great-great grandmothers sat in,” McConnell said. “I put these rockers on it and I recaned

the bottom.”

McConnell has also made baskets but doesn’t sell them.

“I probably have 15 hours in the making of that basket,” McConnell said. “Some folks get $15 for that. I am smarter than that.”

Other presenters shared how technology can be used to help with gardening and even helping ALDOT manage grass in its right of ways. Some shared how their

work schedules are flexible and allow them to be outside while also providing material for stories best suited for a comedy show or around a fire at sunset.

Watkins hopes the event gets the students interested in an agricultural career.

“We are just trying to get them interested in it,” Watkins said.

“Hopefully they leave with a better understanding of what all can be agriculture.”
