Community corrections program taking shape By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

Mitch Sneed / The Outlook

New Community Corrections Director Beth Alford is busy getting everything in place for a possible January start up for the program. The hope is to be able to keep closer tabs on newly released inmates.

Teacher touts new science standards

Beth Alford’s office in the basement of the Tallapoosa County Courthouse in Dadeville is easy to miss. The new director of the county’s Community Corrections is tucked in a small space in the basement, with a paper sign attached to her door. While you have to look hard to find her office, there is plenty of work going on inside.

Alford officially began her job on Nov. 1, but she has been working on getting the innovative new program up and running since the middle of September. Community corrections allows for local handling of select inmates prior to their full re-entry into society. The program makes sure that the inmates are working, paying restitution, fines, fees and child support. The program also offers them support in finding work, learning job skills and making sure

BRHS’s Sassano dispels myths By Corey Arwood Outlook Sports Writer

Alexander City Schools, along with the rest of the 137 school-systems throughout the state, have begun reviewing potential science textbooks for use starting next school year. There was an open hearing held last week by the Alabama State Textbook Committee for public review of the different textbook options. Now it is up to the decision of each school which textbook will be chosen to represent the recently revised science standards. A science teacher at Benjamin Russell High School welcomed the changes that have been made to the standards and said that they were long overdue. Emily Sasser-Sassano teaches 12th grade AP Biology and Human Anatomy & Physiology. A BRHS graduate, she got her B.S. in biology from Faulkner University, and obtained her master’s of education in biology from Auburn University at Montgomery, and has national board certification in adolescence and young adulthood. She was the state’s lead biology teacher for the Global Climate Change Education committee, a partnership between Auburn University and NASA, and was a part See SCIENCE, Page 2

Just over an inch and half of rain fell Wednesday in Alexander City with over seven-tenths of an inch falling between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m., when the above image was taken. A maximum wind gust of 32 m.p.h. was recorded at 11:15 a.m. City oﬀicials dealt with two calls of trees down as a result. Several auto accidents in the area were attributed to the wet, slick roads. Today’s weather starts with fog before 8 a.m. before becoming sunny with a high of 70 degrees.

Tallapoosa County Board of Education Board members got an update on income from the new one-cent sales tax and approved a corrective action plan that is needed for the audit that is soon to be released from the Alabama Department of Public Examiners. “Our October statement from RDS reflects the first month of collection of that new sales tax,” Tallapoosa County Schools financial officer Phil Blasingame said. “It showed collections of $232, 507 for September. It is about double when compared to the previous month with $115,879 being collected in August.” With the update some board members think the county commission will get the answers it is looking for. “Is this what the commission wanted?” Board Member Michael Carter said. “This is really the first month that we can give them any numbers. I thought it was odd they requested this in October.” “It was collected in September. and given to us in Oct.,” Blasingame said. “We just got it, we have not had a chance to do anything with it. Blasingame went on to explain how the funds will be used. “Our No. 1 priority and what we have stated since we have asked for the tax was to first take care of the reserve. We are looking at $1.974 million to get the reserve fund back to where it needs to be. That will take care of the deficit balance there. What it looks like with the new tax is it will take us two years to get this.” The new sales tax will help correct finding from a yet to be released audit for fiscal year 2014. See EDUCATION, Page 3

that they have the tools to keep themselves out of trouble with the law in the future. Alford, who has been in corrections and probation since she was 18 years old, said she has known about the program since it was first introduced in the state. That’s why she feels it will be a great asset to Tallapoosa County. “I think that most people want to do the right thing, but they may See CORRECTIONS, Page 3

Football season is always a great time to come out and support your favorite team. This Friday night, the Benjamin Russell Wildcats take on Bessemer City at our very own Sportplex in the quarterfinals. Wildcat fans need to be in full force to show these players, band, cheer and dance squads how proud we are of them for representing the Alexander City community. Playing football in November also allows the Wildcat Athletic Department an opportunity to give back. That’s exactly what the Cats want to do this Friday night and this is how. BRHS Principal Dr. Anthony Wilkinson has agreed to partner with the Tallapoosa County Crisis Center to help our local families during the upcoming holiday season.

“This Wildcat game is a great school and community event and it comes during a tough time of the year for so many needy families,” Wilkerson said. “We’d like to take advantage of a great turnout Friday night to generate can goods and nonperishable items for the Tallapoosa County Crisis Center. “A great crowd participation will hopefully transform into a great donation from our Wildcat Athletic Dept. and our fans. Just as we appreciate the warm outpouring of support that we received from our fans with our “214th Christmas Card” campaign, we’d greatly appreciate our fans getting active with the “Wildcat Can Drive.” The Tallapoosa County Crisis Center will have boxes set up inside the gates on the home side from 5:30-

DEAR ABBY: I loved the letter from “Ready for the Reunion” (July 31), who wondered why some people in her high school graduating class didn’t respond to the notice of the reunion. Some of us would like to completely forget high school and everything associated with it. I missed my 10th, 20th, 30th and 40th year reunions. I did consider going to the last one, but then I started reading my former classmates’ posts on the reunion website. It seems everyone is retired, wealthy, has numerous grandchildren, at least one retirement home in an exotic locale and spends their time relaxing and jetting around (or so they say). I’m still working, not wealthy, not particularly successful and have moved from my home state to the backwoods of middle America. Basically, I have a boring life, so I have nothing to brag about. I didn’t go. I’m still in contact with the important people in my life from high school and just don’t need the aggravation of attending a

reunion. -- STAYING HOME DEAR STAYING: Thank you for your input. I received a large number of responses to that letter, many of which were emotionally charged: DEAR ABBY: My class just had its 45th reunion. I live 20 miles away, but have never attended one and I never will. My best friend and I were bullied, insulted and excluded by our high school peers. After 45 years, we are still close friends. Neither of us has any desire to see any of those people ever again. High school was a miserable experience for us, and we couldn’t wait to graduate and go off to college. Why would we want to socialize with them now? We forgave them long ago, but

have no desire to relive those days. People need to realize that sometimes we move on and don’t need to revisit the past. -CAROL IN GEORGIA DEAR ABBY: My high school experience was traumatic to the point that it put me in therapy. People who look forward to these things look back on their high school days with fondness. I’m guessing that’s because they weren’t picked on for being fat, not coming from a rich family or being a minority. I would rather walk barefoot across broken glass than spend another minute with my high school class. I ignore the invitations because my mother taught me if I can’t say anything nice, I should say nothing at all. -- RAY IN SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. DEAR ABBY: Successful turnouts often occur as a result of personal outreach from the committee. A personalized note, phone call or other kind of targeted communication (“Dear Susie, we’d love to see you again. Please come.”) will make a difference to an alum. --

Science of CCRS’ efforts to refine and implement the roll out of new science standards. Sasser-Sassano gave The Outlook a free AP course lesson on why the new standards and textbooks are important for BRHS students: Q: What are your thoughts on the prospect of new textbooks and standards? A: I do believe the old science standards were a bit outdated and needed a facelift. The re-visitation of standards hasn’t really been done in over a decade and the textbooks students are currently using are somewhat vague on issues that the scientific community has long aligned itself with as fact. For example, in the current textbook terminology, evolution is still referred to as a ‘controversial theory,’ and there are stickers on the inside covers of biology textbooks that warn students of the presence of these topics within the text. Q: So, what about evolution? A: While the teaching of evolutionary concepts might be controversial to some, the fact remains that there is evidentiary support for the biochemical unity among all living organisms.

FORMER REUNION PLANNER IN WASHINGTON DEAR ABBY: Of the 280 missing students, for a quarter of them to be deceased would be par for the course. “Ready” should create a Facebook Groups page for her high school graduating class. Ours is very popular -- 35 percent of our former classmates are already part of it. -- PETER IN NAPLES, FLA. DEAR ABBY: It is possible that many of the graduates never received the invitation. Email contact information, phone numbers and addresses change often. I didn’t receive anything about my 10-year reunion, but a few of my friends said they did. I can’t respond to an invitation I didn’t receive. -- ROD IN OMAHA Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Regardless of whether or not someone ‘believes’ in evolution, the fact remains. There is no controversy about how all the organisms on the planet are related. The differences among organisms should not be evaluated as a difference in kind, but rather a difference in degree. How closely or distantly related two organisms are in molecular content can be determined by genetic comparison. And these genetic comparisons tell a story of evolutionary divergence in the fossil record of shared ancestry. Q: How do you extinguish undue controversy from a subject like this? A: Some confusion lies in people’s misconception of what evolution is and what it is not. Darwinian evolution and natural selection are mechanisms of genetic change that occur in organisms already in existence. The origins of life can be studied in a separate arena and context, and not necessarily intertwined into one broad, overarching concept. Q: Could you give a for instance? A: The example I often use with my students is: when was the

last time you had to take a trip down to the local health department and get your vaccine for the bubonic plague? The bacterial infection wiped out thousands and thousands of humans, especially during the late Middle Ages. But did everyone perish? No. Why not? Because those individuals with the strongest resistance to the infectious agent survived. And if they survived, they were able to live long enough to pass those resistance characteristics, genes, to their offspring who continued the lineage. So the logic stands, the new science standards are necessary in order to reflect current findings in the biological world. These new standards will be based on established scientific knowledge. Q: What will the adoption of the new curriculum actually mean for your students, and your classroom? A: Another big change that I personally align my own teaching, methodology and pedagogy with is a push towards a more “handson” approach to learning scientific content. My mantra in the classroom is that ‘doing is learning.’ It’s not enough for students to simply hear about science – I want them to do

science. There is a need for student-led investigation and student-led exploration. Q: What does that entail? A: Cookie-cutter laboratory experiments are a relic from the past. The best learning, in my opinion, occurs when students are actively engaged in their own learning process. Get them up out of nicely aligned rows of desks reading a passage about bacterial transformation and instead have them create, explore, design, develop, and manipulate their own strain of genetic mutations in E. coli and watch the light bulbs above their heads illuminate. Q: An example? A: Why not create ‘glow in the dark’ E. coli by genetically recombining firefly DNA with bacterial DNA? What better way to DO science and prepare them for a world heavy in genetic discovery? I want my students to experience science and not simply become what I call ‘sitters and soakers’ of the content. And I believe that the new science standards will reflect this transition towards a more tangible and effective avenue of learning.”

The corrective action plan was passed without discussion. Windle briefly explained what the plan was. “It is to go with audit findings,” Windle said. “We have to get an audit every year.” The plan was included in the packet for the board and since passed by the board makes it public record. The plan includes findings from the yet to be released audit and the board responses to those findings. The findings and responses include: • a deficit balance of $247,921.45 in the general fund on Sept. 30, 2014 and the capital budget overstated by the same amount. The board’s response stated the negative balance was due to funding cuts and debts exceeding revenues. That the board is working on savings measures and the recent sales tax increase will help correct the problem. • a problem with how $800,000 in debt issuance was recorded for the roof renovation at Reeltown school. • management is for having controls in place to prepare financial statements to include inventories of capital assets. The board did not conduct a physical year end inventory and does not appear to have adequate control procedures in place to make sure the inventory is taken. • the board used the public school fund to cover deficit balances in the general fund against Alabama Code. The board’s response stated that this was would be solved once cash

balances were replenished with the new sales tax. • a independent contractor was paid $88,000 without notifying the retirement system. • all classroom instructional support funds were not spent and the board did not return $13,154.13 to the trust fund as per Alabama Code. The board responded that the money was given to the schools and that in some cases the coding errors were made. • The board was unable to provide documentation of public works bids for construction of the new central office building. The board responded that the documents were lost in the move to the new building and are working with McKee and Associates Architecture and the bidders to recreate the documents. The board approved a $3,000 supplement for Lisa Heard. “Ms. Heard has taken on additional duties in the Central Office since Linda Davis retired,” Windle said. “She has taken on her duties over curriculum and is sharing special education duties with Casey Davis and Barbie Buchanan” The board recognized students from the Dadeville High School Future Business Leaders of America program who produced a video titled “How We Achieve Excellence in our Schools” that place third in a state wide contest with the Alabama Association of School Boards. In the annual open session of the board where anyone was allowed 10 minutes to speak to the board,

Board member Matilda WoodyardHamilton brought up concerns raised to her by some parents of students about the amount of time that is devoted to sports teams practices and how some of the students are unable to complete all of their homework. Windle said he would address the principals and athletic directors on the matter. The Board also: • re-elected Martin Johnson to serve as chairman and Michael Carter as vice chairman of the board. •approved Regions Bank, PNC Bank, Prime South Bank and USAmeri Bank to be the official depositories for the board of education and its schools. • approved the minutes from the Oct. 8 regular meeting and the Oct. 16 employee suspension hearing where two Dadeville Lunchroom employees were suspended for five days without pay. • approved Matilda WoodyardHamilton to attend the Alabama Association of School Boards Conference in December. • approved payment of the bills. • approved the monthly financial report. • approved the financial statement. • approved the leave of absence of a bus driver. • approved the leave of absence of a paraprofessional to complete an internship for a teaching certificate. The Tallapoosa County Board of Education is scheduled to meet again on Dec. 14 at 5 p.m.

Corrections not have ever been in a situation where they had the tools they needed to stay on the straight and narrow,” Alford said. “That or they may not have ever been given a very specific list of exactly what is expected of them. “That’s what this program is all about. There will be constant contact and the people who are a part of it will know, that there are no three strikes. If they mess up, they are gone.” Alford also set aside concerns about the thought of inmates being back in society.

The Department of Corrections decides which inmates are eligible for the program according to DOC regulations. Inmates with Class I felonies are excluded from the program, which is largely for nonviolent offenders. Alford said that currently there are 81 that have been identified by the DOC as eligible for consideration to be a part of the program in Tallapoosa County. “We get the final say in who we accept and who we don’t,” Alford said. “There are no violent criminals that are eligible.

he brutality of Isis and the horror of Friday night’s bombings are a half a world away. Too often, things that are out of sight for us are out of mind. Yes, we pay attention on the news networks, but is what is happening with Isis really unimaginable here? Let us consider the slippery slope. Already, some here are complaining gay marriage, abortion and other issues indicate a movement away from religious law. The truth is, the freedom to believe or not believe as we wish – not the need to turn wholly toward any one religion – is one of the fundamental building blocks of this nation. In the beginning, we celebrated our ability to believe differently rather than bemoaned that we did. It is a belief in different sects of the same religion – Islam - that has created the mess in the Middle East. The split between Sunnis and Shias dates back almost to the death of Mohammed. Since that time, their differences have caused a continuous rise and decline of disputes between them. And America’s efforts to bring peace to the regions that have suffered from these disputes have earned it the reputation of a meddling Satan. Isis (Sunni) is the latest – and likely the greatest threat – of these anti-American jihadi groups. Isis believes their Shia brothers must die to purify Islam (Interference from countries like the U.S. and France must stop, as well). Certainly, any religionbased difference here falls short of that. But beware the slippery slope. Let us avoid it in our discourse and our politics and instead celebrate our abilities to be different – with regard to religion and otherwise – rather than let them divide us.

Catfishing ain’t what it used to be

Opinion

Retaliation for Paris attacks a slippery slope

Outlook The

hen I was a kid, my granddad would often take us fishing at Uncle Curwood’s catfish pond out in the suburbs of Dadeville. We would walk through the woods to get there, but that was about as difficult as it got. Catfishing is probably the easiest type of fishing there is. You simply throw out the bait and wait. Something will bite, eventually. My granddad had a compost pile and in the compost pile were the biggest earthworms I’ve ever seen. We’d use them for bait sometimes, but he didn’t want us to use up all of his worms. Worms were good for the compost, so sometimes we used stink bait. Whew! That stuff smelled terrible. Some things just stink: stink bombs, stink bugs, and Alabama’s recruiting tactics. Today, there’s something else that stinks and that is online catfishing. According to Wikipedia, catfishing is a type of deceptive activity involving a person creating a sock puppet social networking network for nefarious purposes. Catfishing can be part of a romance scam. These predators like to lift photos of service members, because many of us have online photos of us in uniform. I reckon many

women have a soft spot for guys in uniform, and the last name on the uniform makes it easier for the scam artist to create a fake profile on social media and dating sites. In the past week, I’ve reported accounts using my photos and last name with first names such as Rooney, Clinton, Carroll, and Davis Don. Is that the best they can do? What about Gus, Cam, Cadillac, or Bo? Unfortunately, the scams often turn out bad for the victim. If they’re lucky, they just have to deal with a broken heart. Sadly, many of them have to deal with broken bank accounts. The scam artists tell the victim a bogus, hard luck story and ultimately asks for money. That’s when some of the ladies get suspicious, while others take the bait. I have random women from across the globe contact me after “finding” the real me on Facebook. Many of them are confused and irate. Some of them are relieved to have found me thinking I was the fake me, and others are relieved to find the real me to let me know that a fake me was

using my photos to catfish vulnerable ladies. Clear as mud? Yeah, catfish like muddy water, too. I do have a soft spot for some of the victims, but at the same time, I just don’t see how anyone can be so susceptible to these scams. It’s quite obvious to identify a fake profile. If the person has only had an account for a week, they only have three friends, and you don’t know them, why would they be sending you a friend request? Be smarter than the average fish. There is really no sport to catfishing. You simply bait the hook and wait. There are some fish in the pond who are smart enough to ignore the bait, while there are others that nibble just to get an idea of what’s going on. Then there are those that go all in without exploring the situation and take the bait hook, line, and sinker. In the catfishing world, there is no shortage of stink bait. Obviously there’s a market for it. The pond is a dangerous place, so be careful out there. Catfishing ain’t what it used to be.

Today’s

Take time to recognize Rural Health Day

ear Friends, Today, November 19, hospitals and others across the country celebrate National Rural Health Day. It’s a great time to reflect on how lucky we are to have 50 rural hospitals in Alabama serving the needs of our local communities. If we were to offer a collective annual report, it would look something like this: Last year, our rural hospitals employed 15,000 people, provided emergency care to more than 620,000 individuals, inpatient care to 110,000 and delivered approximately 10,000 babies. We created two jobs for every one we funded, provided thousands of dollars in additional economic impact and were the reasons many communities were able to attract new business. We served as the backbone of health care in our communities, supporting doctors’ offices, dialysis clinics, pharmacies and other necessary health care services. We saved lives, extended lives and simply made thousands of lives better. However, our success wouldn’t have been possible without you, our local communities and neighbors. So as we celebrate Rural Health

JIM PEACE Guest Columnist

Day, those of us who work in rural hospitals, particularly, the healthcare team at Russell Medical Center, want our communities to know how much we appreciate all of you. Your support and patronage through the years has been critical in preserving good care throughout rural Alabama. You’ve trusted us to deliver your precious children and grandchildren and then care for them when they broke a bone, were bitten by a stray animal or injured while playing sports. You’ve allowed us the privilege of treating your aging parents, giving them comfort and a better quality of life. You’ve stood with us and watched as our team of doctors, nurses and other clinicians saved lives. You’ve also cried on our shoulders when the only hope we could give was for a peaceful and dignified passing of your loved one. You are our neighbors and our friends, and we’ve

been through a lot together. You’ve come to our grand openings, and we’ve gone to your weddings. You’ve watched as Russell Medical Center has grown from a small infirmary in the 1920s to a modern facility offering the latest technology and treatments. You’ve seen the health care benefits of having good local care, and you have also probably enjoyed the economic benefits of our presence in the community. In fact, many of you probably work at our hospital or have a family member who does. Health care is changing; there are new treatment options, new medicines and new ways to better coordinate and provide your care. However, no matter what changes, one thing remains constant … our commitment to you and your family and our gratitude for your trust. So, when we count our blessings this week, we’re counting all of you who have entrusted us with your most precious possession, your lives. Warm regards for a blessed Thanksgiving, Peace is CEO & President of Russell Medical Center.

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your friendly demeanor will warm up a friendship. You might have difďŹ culty mixing together various people in your day-to-day life, as you have quite the plethora of personalities around you. Listen to your inner voice when dealing with a partner. Tonight: Follow your gut. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You will take the lead if no one else wants to. You might not want the extra work or the time lost, but you know that you will succeed. How well you do could be beyond your wildest dreams. Choose a stressbuster to relieve some tension. Tonight: Work through the stress. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Keep reaching out to someone with whom you can be 100 percent yourself. Be open when dealing with a creative project. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll realize that there is no point in a hiding your opinion. An important person in your life could challenge your choices. Tonight: It is your call. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Reach out to a loved one you care about. This person also cares about you. You often share news that might be thought of as questionable or not valid as of yet. You know what you want, but might not be ready to take the needed leap of faith. Tonight: Listen to a suggestion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Someone might be more contentious than you realize. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be surprised, as you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t often see this side of this person. However, you could be wearing rose-colored glasses. A loved one will share an important evaluation. Tonight: Spend time with your favorite person. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Clear up as much as possible in the morning, though you might feel as if you are jumping through hoops. Prioritize, but ďŹ rst take into consideration a partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requests. He or she might need to chip in, as you can handle only so much. Tonight: Go

along with fun plans. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your playfulness marks the early day, yet you realize that you need to focus and clear out certain tasks quickly. You have the drive and follow-through to complete what you must. Notice a tendency to get angry easily. Process what is going on. Tonight: Get physical. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to handle a problem as fast as you can in the morning. If you are single, someone you meet could be deceptive. Get to know this person better before getting involved. If you are attached, you could misread your sweetieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intentions. Tonight: Remain open and caring. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Speak your mind, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry too much about how others respond. You simply are clearing the air. You have a lot on your mind that could involve your personal life and the choices you would like to make. Remain sensitive to others. Tonight: Enjoy the moment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Make sure that you have enough money in your bank account. You might come across a deal that is too good to be true. Your creativity remains key to an important project or interaction; use it well. Tonight: Listen to your intuition once more. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wake up feeling ready for the world, but shortly thereafter you could get tripped up by a misunderstanding. Be aware of what is being offered to you, and respond clearly. Someone might be provocative. Try not to take this personally. Tonight: At a favorite place. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Listen to a conversation carefully. You might want to replay it several times over in your mind as well. Relate to one person directly. Pressure builds when dealing with a higher-up who tends to be too ďŹ ery for your liking. Tonight: Others respond to you well.

WILDCATS TIP OFF NEW SEASON Benjamin Russell seeking consistent improvement entering 2015-2016 season By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

With football winding to a close, high school basketball has tipped off another year. The Benjamin Russell Wildcats opened the 2015-2016 season on the road Tuesday with a 77-58 loss to Talladega. Benjamin Russell Coach Jeff Hines said there were some positives in the defeat, but added the Wildcats will continue to work on improving their defense. “I saw a lot of good things in the first half against Talladega, which is a very good opponent that we went on the road to open up with. It’s a team that’s been to regionals before,” Hines said. “I thought we played a pretty good first half. I thought we defended not like we want to defend, but being first game we did some good things. Obviously, we’ve got a ton of work to do. I was disappointed in the way we defended during the first half and took care of the basketball.” Hines said the Wildcats had 22 turnovers on the night in the opening loss, but while the mistakes can be chalked up to inexperienced, he said there will be no excuses this season. “Like I said in the summer, we felt like we were going to be really inexperienced this year because we had a lot of new faces and we’re only bringing back five guys from last year’s team with only two seniors,” Hines said. “However, that’s something that we can’t use as a crutch and we’re not going to use it as an excuse. We’re going to work hard to do the things that we have to do to be successful.” And with more than a handful of players currently competing for a state title on the gridiron as members of the Wildcat football team, the Wildcats are not yet a finished product. But in the meantime, Hines said he was pleased with the efforts of his team in Tuesday’s game. In particular, he has been pleased to see point guard Quen Reese continue his upward momentum that began last year. “Quen Reese came right out of the gate and scored 34 (points). He was 13-of-23 from the field all together and 6-of-15 from three, so he had a good night,” Hines said. “I was disappointed that he had six turnovers, but we’ve talked about that and he understands it. Playing point (guard), he’s going to commit some turnovers, but he didn’t have but two turnovers in the first half and four in the second half. He’s a junior and he’s got tremendous upside.” Hines also added that the Wildcats received strong con-

tributions from some of the newcomers to the team. “I was really impressed with the way Tanner Barnett played last night. Tanner is a new addition and he led us in rebounds last night with 10,” Hines said. “We’re keeping a stat this year that I’ve kept in past years which is a deflection stat, which tells me what guys are active. There were three guys tied with four and Tanner was one of them. He’s going to have to get more minutes.” But overall, Hines said the mission is to continue to get better and for the Wildcats to be playing their best basketball when region play begins next year. “We’re a work in progress. It’s not going to be pretty, and I told our guys last night that I’m very proud of the way they played last night,” Hines said. “All I told them is to play their best tonight, but your best is not going to be what we want it to be in January when area play starts. “That was one game of 29 for sure games, so it’s a grind. I try to stay even-keeled,” Hines said. “We’re back to work preparing for Briarwood, a very good team. Hopefully, from game one to game two we’ll make a lot of progress.” BRHS travels to Briarwood tonight at 7 p.m.

Who is the best Bama back ever? That’s debatable D errick Henry is beginning to draw superhuman comparisons. The names, “Bo” and “Herschel” have been uttered by commentators in the past month as Henry continues to run through and around anyone wearing an opponents’ uniform and turned the Leonard Fournette for Heisman campaign into an afterthought on the Bayou. Personally, the 6-foot-3, 243-pound behemoth reminds me of Eddie George or Adrian Peterson. Long legs. Big stride. Powerful arms. And speed. In other words, you might tackle him, or assist, but you will be punished. After rushing for 1,458 yards through 10 games – including 236 at Texas A&M, 210 vs. LSU (Buga Nation just went out of business) and 204

last Saturday at Mississippi State, Henry appears well on his way to New York City and the Heisman ceremony. But how does he stack up against the Tide’s all-time greats at the position? Shaun Alexander is Alabama’s all-time leading rusher with 3,565 yards. Should Henry, who has 2,830 yards, stick around for his senior season, barring injury he will cruise past this record. Alexander’s best season came in 1999, when he rushed for 1,383 yards and

19 touchdowns with a 4.6 yards per carry average, helping Mike Dubose’s team win the SEC. Remember Bobby Humphrey? He’s Alabama’s second all-time rusher with 3,420 yards, with a career-best season of 1,471 yards and 15 touchdowns coming in 1986. He averaged a whopping 6.2 yards per carry, too. Then there’s T.J. Yeldon, who started ahead of Henry in 2013 and 2014. Yeldon’s best season was 2013, when he finished with 1,235 yards and 14 touchdowns, averaging 6 yards per carry. Mark Ingram won the Heisman Trophy in 2009. How? He rushed for 1,658 yards and 17 touchdowns on 6.1 yards per carry, helping the Tide win the BCS crown.

Eddie Lacy was incredibly imposing in 2012, helping the Tide win the 2012 national championship. Lacy averaged 6.5 yards per carry that season, running for 1,322 yards and 17 touchdowns. Trent Richardson ran for an eye-popping 21 touchdowns and 1,679 yards in 2011, leading Alabama to Nick Saban’s second national championship in Tuscaloosa. He averaged 5.9 yards per carry. Then there’s Henry. He has at least four games to play and already has 19 touchdowns. At his current pace, he could flirt with – or surpass – 2,000 yards. These are known: Charleston Southern and Auburn remain on the regular season schedule, with Florida waiting in the Georgia Dome next month.

If Henry didn’t have to play behind Yeldon the past two seasons, there’s no telling how many more yards and touchdowns he would already have. However, he has only 263 career receiving yards, compared to Alexander’s 798 and Richardson’s 730. So who’s the best Bama back ever? That’s debatable. What’s amazing, however, is the amount of talent that played the position over the years – particularly since Nick Saban’s arrival.

Holman Floor Company was founded in 1965 by Dawson Holman Sr. and his wife Edith, and passed down to Dawson “Bubba” Holman Jr. and his wife Nancy. The founder’s granddaughter and her husband, Buffie and Neal Watts, operate the company today and focus on a high level of customer service and support. “Bubba Holman, Buffie’s dad and previous owner, always conducted business by treating his customers right,” Neal said. “He gave them a fair price and always made sure they were satisfied with the product and service equally. Bubba was also always willing to help when a need arose in the community.” Buffie and Neal strive to do business the same way. The owners and staff of Holman Floor Company are experts in the flooring business. From the installation of hardwood flooring, carpet, tile and natural stone to refinishing existing hardwood floors, Holman Floor Company is hands down the most trusted name in flooring in the area. The company has helped commercial and residential clients for almost 50 years with their mission to “offer the highest quality products and design, delivery and installation services to our customers day in and day out.” Personalized service is key for Holman Floor Company. According to current owners, Neal and Buffie Watts, “We walk our customers through the floor-buying process and educate them on our product offering so they are able to make an informed choice

based on what their top priorities are in flooring. We become more a partner than a supplier, and pay a great deal of attention to customer service just like ‘the good old days.’” The customer’s satisfaction is crucial, Neal said, because a satisfied customer is a life-long customer. The Watts are third-generation owners. Holman Floor Company was incorporated in 1988 and as lifelong residents, they are proud to call Tallapoosa County home. As the parents of three very active children, the Watts said they understand the needs of the community’s schools, churches, after-school activities and organizations. “All of the local businesses give back tremendously to see that our children succeed and shopping locally is the driving force to the area’s success,” the owners said. Shopping locally, rather than a major chain, means “you are more likely to get your questions or concerns answered in a timely manner and you know exactly where to go if you need to speak with the owner.” “There is a much higher level of accountability from a local business,” says Neal. “Local owners know their business depends on repeat customers and they are counting on completing the job in exactly the way it was contracted. Not to mention the fact that in a small town word travels fast. We like for that word to be a good one.”

Growing up in the insurance business, Stephanie Goss Daughtry spent many nights in the Nationwide office here in Alexander City while her mom, Mary Parker, finished up her day. Fast forward to the year 2015 and the agency, purchased from Mary when Stephanie and her husband Mark made the move back to Alexander City, is headed into their 34th year of family-owned business. According to Stephanie she realizes how blessed they are that she and Mark are able to carry on her mother’s reputation and dedication to the community and their insurance needs. Under Mark and Stephanie’s ownership, Nationwide Insurance has expanded to three locations to better meet the insurance needs of its customers. In 2005, the Daughtrys branched out to the Opelika area and more recently opened an office in Columbus, Georgia. According to Mark, “Unlike Stephanie who was raised in the business, I didn’t have insurance experience but certainly welcomed the opportunity to learn and move with Stephanie back to the hometown she loved.” The Daughtrys work to provide locals with any and every type of insurance they need. In tune with the climate of today’s market, the Daughtrys and their employees are constantly researching trends and opportunities to make sure they get the best packages and discounts. “We are a very hands-on group,” Mark said. “We closely monitor new options and changes in the insurance world and relate that back to each of our clients’ accounts. If something comes along that makes sense for one of our customers or could potentially lower

We are very careful to customize our services to each individual who walks through our door.” In addition to always looking out for their customers’ best interests, another perk of doing business with Nationwide Insurance is the familiar group of faces you see when you walk in the door, which helps to increase the trust that the clients have in their agents. “All of our employees have been with us for a decade or more,” Mark said. “That’s dedication and passion, not to mention that they are true experts in this business. We’re a big family in our office. We work as a team to make sure each customer is our No. 1 priority when they step in the door. Our entire staff always looks out for our customers’ best interest. Knowledgeable, friendly top of the line customer service best describes our employees, and that is what it’s all about.” In addition to strengthening the faith clients have in their services, Nationwide Insurance wants Alexander City to know that it also has faith in its people and the city as well. “We purchased our own property this year which resulted in an exciting move for our agency. We hope it serves our customers well, and knowing that we’ve invested in our home town is an amazing feeling, “ said Mark. The Daughtrys believe that local support only serves to help the community grow. “We believe in our area, and love our hometown,” Mark said. “We have three very involved sons who participate in many activities in our area.

Holley’s Home Furnishings: Buying local means shopping local, and for the home furnishing needs of Alexander City there is a well-established store with deep roots in the community. Holley Home Furnishings is a second-generation family owned store whose namesake comes from the Holley family that has made up its two generations of owners throughout the stores 55 years in business. Holley’s recently expanded their operations and opened a second location on Wetumpka Highway in Montgomery. And while a store opening for some large national retail furniture chain is routine, a second store opening can be a big step to take for a locally owned and operated business that has been in the same area since Eisenhower was president. But even with its new location, Holley’s is still local, and the Holley’s value local. “Supporting local businesses is supporting our community through tax dollars and the many donations and sponsorships

Local business has been serving area for 55 years

local businesses provide for our schools, churches, etc.,” said Ralph Holley. Holley is the current president of Holley’s Home Furnishings and son of Austin Holley the store’s owner since 1960. Holley’s success, according to Holley, comes from five and a half decades worth of loyal customers and the growth from new ones. Holley attributed this to what he said was name brand furniture at fair prices and great customer service. And that service comes from what Holley called a great sales staff, which he said were knowledgeable, friendly and eager to help. Holley said this “superior customer service,” and the store’s range of free services, and what he said was, brand name home furnishings and home office products kept local customers choosing Holley’s over their competition. And buying local Holley said was vital to their growth in the area.

Caldwell Electronics: Quality products and great customer service for your electronic needs Regardless of your electronic needs, Alexander City is blessed to have a hometown business that has just what you are looking for. Caldwell Electronics Inc. is the local Radio Shack franchise. The business was started by Merrell and Ann Caldwell in 1976. “I managed business from 1995 to 2005 and purchased the business from my parents in 2005,” Owner Cam Caldwell said. “We have enjoyed serving the residents and our area and we currently employ five salesman.” Caldwell Electronics is an electronics retailer, specializing in car and marine audio, cell phone service from Southern LINC and Page Plus and computer sales and service. “We provide installation of TVs, home entertainment audio and security surveillance cameras,” Caldwell said. “We offer computer repair service, including virus removal, software cleanup and hardware replacement. We have on-site car and marine radio installation of radios, amps, speakers and lighting.” What makes Caldwell stand out from the competition? The owner says it’s service. “Service – that is the main reason we are still in business,” Caldwell. “Several electronic retailers have gone under and more are on the way but we have survived by providing service of not only the products we sell but any product that our customers have

questions about.” That kind of service is understandable when you look at Cam Caldwell’s background. He said that he has loved electronics since he was a small child. “I worked at Radio Shack my whole life,” Caldwell said. “I started at age 6 demonstrating the latest Christmas toys and worked my way up to owner. I’ve always loved electronics and with the ever-changing world of the computer industry, it keeps me constantly studying and learning something new.” Caldwell said he has plans for a bright future here in Alexander City. “We do not have any plans of expansion but we do have plans to be a part of Radio Shack’s national relaunch of the brand,” Caldwell said. “Radio Shack corporation has been purchased by General Wireless and they are planning a rebranding of the sales and services provided by its local stores.” Caldwell said his staff is a big part of the store’s future. “I have the best guys a storeowner could ask for,” Caldwell said. “They have the willingness to learn something new everyday and are glad to do it. They are always waiting to service anyone that walks through our doors. My guys have a level of knowledge in the retail electronics field that is unmatched in the Tallapoosa County area. Come in and give them a try, you’ll be impressed.”

Crystal Clear Skin:

Residents have access to the latest in skin care techniques By Crystal Jarvis Crystal Clear Skin Owner

I was born and raised in Alexander City. As a young adult I decided to go to Opelika Technical College to pursue Cosmetology. Although I enjoyed being a stylist my passion became skin care. In the early 90s I moved to Phoenix, Az where I made my love of skin care a career. In January 2000 I began working at Just For You Salon and Spa in Tempe, Az becoming Salon manager in 2005. Always striving to improve I furthered my education through multiple training and hands on classes becoming certified in many techniques and procedures. My client list had grown exponentially so after 15 years I formed my own company, Crystal Clear Skin. The plan was to create as great a business for myself as I had helped create at Just For You. As I made plans and set goals in Arizona, in Alabama my mom’s health declined and I had a decision to make. Afraid of the unknown and of letting go of a business I’d spent 15 years building I packed up my four Pekingese and moved to Alabama to be with mom. Along with the encouragement and support of my family I’ve decided to continue my love of skin care and began anew with Crystal Clear Skin in Alexander City. I am currently renting a room inside Durbin Chiropractic. My goal is to move into my own suite next door no later than early spring of 2016. I offer pampering facials, treatments for aging and hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin), acne treatments, chemical peels, microsweep, dermaplaning, full body waxing and permanent makeup. Most treatments are for men as well as women. I enjoy connecting with my clients, really listening to them about their concerns and educating them on proper home care. Product ingredient is very important to me. I want my clients to have the best treatment at the best price. Yes, my goal is to be successful in business, but more important it’s about helping people feel great about themselves. Life has a way of steeling our

joy. Allowing yourself to totally relax for an hour while someone pampers you is regenerating. While all skin care is exciting and ever changing I have become very sympathetic with people suffering from acne issues. The teen years alone are challenging. Adding acne in the mix can be devastating to their confidence and self esteem. Acne can and does follow some into adulthood causing minor to severe scaring as well as hyperpigmentation. It’s a wonderfully, joyful and amazing moment when a person realizes their skin is improving. Sometimes they cry, almost always I cry! Other than skin care I have another passion in my life; areola tattooing for breast cancer survivors. I formed Breast Ink in 2010. I’ve known so many women who’ve suffered through mastectomies and breast reconstruction. Most people don’t realize that when the breast is removed it’s the entire breast not just the tissue. After reconstruction they have a breast that’s lacking color. That’s where I come in. I literally tattoo an areola on their new breast. Sometimes a patient chooses not to have a nipple implant or it isn’t recommended by their surgeon. In that case their given a 3D tattoo; it looks three dimensional, but is actually flat. I’ve obtained certifications in New Mexico, Arizona and California. The reaction on a woman’s face when she looks at them is breath taking! They’ve been through so much to get to that point. They’ve lost something very precious. It’s the most humbling experience I’ve ever had. I’m honored to be able to be a part of their journey. I have to add that I’ve noticed the change in Alexander City. People everywhere have felt the sting of the economy. It’s incredible to see downtown being reborn. The boutiques and shops are beautiful. The music in Strand Park is wonderful; the fashion shows are so much fun. Enough good can’t be said about the farmer’s market. “Alex City” has become part of the “in crowd!”

Radney and Langley Funeral Homes: Local businesses are Tallapoosa County’s most trusted names in serving area families in their time of need Radney Funeral Home was founded in 1938 and operated from the basement of the Radney Furniture Company on Alabama Street in Alexander City, Alabama. The funeral home was founded by Mr. William Larkin Radney. He owned and operated the funeral home until his death in 1997. During that time he also held many governmental positions in the town including Town councilman and Mayor. He also held offices in the Alabama Funeral Directors Association. In 1952 the funeral home moved into its current location on Dadeville Road. The property was purchased from the Russell Corp. and was formerly a part of the town’s first country club. The building has undergone two major renovations since its building in 1952. Upon his death, Radney Funeral Home came under the ownership of Mr. Radney’s three children. Shortly after the change of ownership, Randy Anderson was named manager of the funeral home. Randy is only the third manager of the funeral home since its founding. The Radney Family sold the funeral home to Randy in 2006. The Langley Funeral Home was founded in 1910 in Camp Hill, Alabama by Mr. John Langley. The original funeral home was located beside the Camp Hill Cemetery. The funeral home remained in the Langley Family for three generations. Upon their retirement in 2013, Wade and Debbie Langley sold the Langley Funeral Home to Randy Anderson. Radney Funeral Home and Langley Funeral Home is staffed with the most professional, dignified caregivers possible. Radney’s directors are nationally certified and strive to better serve the families who entrust their loved ones into our care. Through its history, Radney has continued to provide the best in funeral and memorial services with burial and/or cremation and monuments. “Radney Funeral Home and Langley Funeral Home are different from others in our community because we have the most well trained, compassionate caregivers,” Anderson said. “When we take a loved one into our care the family can be assured that we will always properly care for the deceased and provide the care and support needed by the survivors.”

Anderson said he got his start in the business a quarter of a century ago. “I began in funeral service 25 years ago this year,” Anderson said. “I began as a part time associate and worked through my apprenticeship to become a licensed funeral director. Five years later I accepted a full time position with Radney Funeral Home and attended mortuary school to complete my licensure. I became manager of Radney’s and remained in that position until I assumed ownership.” Anderson said they are always looking for ways to serve customers better. “We are always looking for new ways to better serve our communities,” Anderson said. “We are constantly training and receiving continuing education to assure that we provide service with excellence.” Anderson said he has a dedicated staff that work hard to help their customers. The staff includes: Brian Cummings – Managing Funeral Director,Tommie Smith - Funeral Director, Larry McConatha – Funeral Director, Scott Jordan – Apprentice Funeral Director, Cindy Brazzell – Receptionist, Tammy Ozment – Admisitrative Assistant, Kim Norrell – Financial Services, Darrell Mobley – Advanced Planning Specialist, Timmy Anderson – Cemetery Services, Evan Caldwell – Cemetery Services, Ryan Anderson - Cemetery Services, Kasey Ray – Administrative Office, Advanced Planning Specialist, Larry Cummings – Post Service Care, Baron Gregg – Funeral Service Associate, Ronnie Betts - Funeral Service Associate, Clyde Coker Funeral Service Associate, Horace Patterson - Funeral Service Associate, Steve Crowe – Funeral Service Associate, Jack Craver Funeral Service Associate, David Lashley - Funeral Service Associate, Steve Sherrer - Funeral Service Associate, Mike Kelly Funeral Service Associate, Riley Foshee – Funeral Service Associate, Danny Champion Funeral Service Associate, Tommy Harrelson - Funeral Service Associate, Madison Brown – Funeral Service Associate and Wyvolee Anderson – Telephone Services.
