Community corrections program taking shape By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

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,

New Community Corrections Director Beth Alford is busy getting everything in place for a possible January start up for the program. The hope See CORRECTIONS, Page 2 is to be able to keep closer tabs on newly released inmates.

Camp Hill Council looks for new revenue

School board gets update on sales tax

By Cliff Williams

BOE also approves corrective action for recent state audit

Outlook Staff Writer

Officials at Camp Hill say they have a revenue problem. “Between the IRS and some other things we just don’t have much,” Mayor Danny Evans said. With sewer system problems, owing the IRS over $100,000 and barely getting by the council has started looking into ways to increase revenue. “I think we need to look at all sources, not just one,” Councilmember Will York said. “Not to raise all of them but to see where we might be able to get additional revenue and also see where we are with other towns in the area.” York was not the only one with ideas – Mayor Evans had one too. “The town has 12 acres on Holley Ave.” Evans said. “It is the old filter plant. I think we need to sell it to help us get over this hump.” The council agreed to get it appraised but stopped short of listing the property for sell yet. In addition to possible increases in sewage and water rates, a sales tax increase was also brought up. “I think we need to look at sales tax too,” Councilmember Ezell Smith said. “I don’t like it but we are lower than most everyone else and while we are looking at possible revenue, I think we need to look at that too.” The council agreed to look into all possibilities to generate revenue but no decision was made Monday night See CAMP HILL, Page 7

Churches work with Operation Christmas By Corey Arwood Record Staff Writer

Last year, there were nearly 800 children from other countries that received boxes filled with toys, personal care items and the gospel, courtesy of people right here in our area. It was the first time First Baptist Church in Dadeville had taken part in the project, and the 54 cartons worth of packages were sent by horse-trailer to the next distribution center before being shipped to their remote destination. This year Tucker said that she expects to collect and transport yet more packages for more children, and surpass their first year’s efforts in Operation Christmas Child. The church is one of the areas two drop-off locations, along with Vertical Point Church in Alexander City, for

OCC’s National Collection Week, which is Nov. 16- 23. Tucker is the program coordinator at the church. She said the packages include school supplies, clothing and other basic hygiene goods. But for her, as well as the projects parent organization, Samaritan’s Purse, the mission is the message. “For me I know that I am helping to spread the gospel to a child in a another country,” Tucker said. The contents of the box, Tucker said, are necessities, but the process of their delivery is the actual mission. The Samaritan’s Purse website says that each box is a “powerful tool for evangelism,” its slogan, What goes in the box is fun! What comes out is eternal! It is part of what the SP calls its efforts to See CHRISTMAS, Page 2

Dadeville is home to state’s baaaaaadest young goat farmers By Mia Osborn Record Staff Writer

Covenant Farm in Dadeville is home to four Alabama National Fair winners, only two of which are humans. Nelson Smith, age 15, and his little brother Caedon represented the family farm in the fair’s Youth Goat Show on Nov. 7 in Montgomery. “Nelson is pretty much our farm manager,” said the boys’ mother, Nichole Smith. Both Smith boys are involved in the daily care of the goats, but when the time came to register for the Alabama National Fair, the animals were divided between them so both would have goats to show. “We’ve been showing goats about three years, but we’ve had goats on and off for the boys’ whole lives,” said Nichole. This is not Nelson and Caedon’s first experience with professional goat showing. The Smiths have participated at various other fairs and youth

shows. Their goats also placed in the 2014 Youth Goat Show. The Smiths raise Boer goats, which are used for their meat. Nelson Smith says the judges rated their Boers with this in mind. “A lot of it has to do with if they’re correct as far as their body structure. They’re a meat goat brand...If one goat has more meat or is bigger, that’s what they go by.” Nine-year-old Caedon had a slightly different idea of why his goat, Reign, took home the prize. “I guess we won because the judge liked her,” he said. Reign and another of the Smith goats, Fancy, won grand champion prizes in their respective categories. Each of the other five Smith goats also placed in their classes. Nelson Smith said he works hard to feed, groom, and care for his family’s goats, but their success at the fair wasn’t due to him. “The Lord blessed us and let us win,” he said. “Win or lose, we praise Him all the time.”

Tallapoosa County Board of Education Board members got an update on income from the new onecent 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.

Corrections learning job skills and making sure 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 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. It’s a way for them to get back and be a productive member of society and they are still inmates. They just sleep at home and I serve as the warden, so to speak. “This allows to ease overcrowding in jails, without releasing them without any accountability.” The program is also a potential moneymaker, as the county would receive from the

state Department of Corrections $10 per day per inmate in the program and would charge a yet-undecided fee to inmates who participate. If 80 inmates are in the program, that would mean the potential of $24,000 per month in revenue. If everything goes as planned, Alford believes that the firs participants could begin in January. “We are excited about the potential,” Alford said. “Monetarily it makes sense. It will help with crowding and it has the potential to make a difference in the lives of those who are part of the program. “That is really a winwin situation.”

grow congregations and plant new churches worldwide. Gospel related messages are attached in the child’s native language, Tucker said, and then delivered by missionaries in each country. To participate Tucker said to go to the OCC website and select a gender and age group. From there she suggested using a small plastic, Rubbermaid style, box that could go to further use by the child and his or her family. However she said that a box could be picked up at one of the drop-off locations as well. Toys should be included among the packages contents, just for fun items, Tucker said. Stuffed animals and other recreational toys like balls are accepted, nothing war related, she said. She discouraged sending anything liquid, or that could melt. A shipping fee of $7 dollars should be included in the box, and Tucker said that can be in cash or check.

Derby of candidates for governor in Alabama Social Secu ity W

e Alabamians love the governor’s race. When talk turns to politics in our beloved state, it usually leads to the governor’s race. It does not matter if the governor’s race is four years away, political gossip starts early as to who will run for governor. As each new race approaches it is talked about more than ever around the coffee clubs from Sand Mountain to the Wiregrass and from the Tennessee Valley to the Gulf Coast. It is comparable to college football being the king of all sports in Alabama. The last governor’s race lacked some of the drama since a popular incumbent, Dr. Robert Bentley, was running for reelection. You couple that with the fact that popular Republican incumbents were running for second terms in the Attorney General, Agriculture Commissioner, Lt. Governor and Treasurer races. This made for a dull year in 2014. Well that will not be the case in 2018 because Alabama’s constitution prohibits more than two consecutive four-year terms in our constitutional offices. Therefore, all of the aforementioned constitutional offices will be up for grabs. There will be no incumbent Attorney General, Agriculture Commissioner, Lt. Governor or Treasurer. Those posts will be wide open, along with several state judgeships, all 140 members of the legislature and all 67 sheriffs. The same two-term limit applies to the brass ring of Alabama politics. The governor’s office will also be wide open. The 2018 Governor’s Race will be a fun and exciting horserace to follow. It may be one for the record books. Folks, I am going to follow it

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist

for you. Beginning this week and continuing for the next few weeks, I will handicap the potential horses in the 2018 race. Periodically, I will do a horserace checkup column where we will review the initial handicapping and keep you posted on their progress and placement. It will be a horserace with a wide open field of thoroughbreds and “also rans.” We will call it the 2018 Alabama Derby. Before we begin the 2018 Alabama Derby handicapping, let me begin with two caveats. First, over the past three decades the governor’s office has lost some of its power and thus luster. The legislature has finally taken its position of power designed for it by the constitution. In bygone days powerful governors, like George Wallace, controlled the legislature almost as though it was an appendage of the governor’s office. That day is gone. Today, the legislature may be the most powerful and independent branch of government and they have rendered the governor irrelevant in the legislative process. This current administration is a prime example. Secondly, Alabama has essentially become a one party state when it comes to statewide politics. My belief is that the Republican Party is king in Alabama politics. The proof is in the pudding. A cursory look at our statewide elected officials reveals that there are 26

statewide elected officeholders, including all statewide elected judges, and all 26 of these posts are held by Republicans. We are indeed one of the most Republican states in America, if not the most Republican. My observation is that this Republican dominance of the Heart of Dixie politics will not change in my lifetime. Therefore, winning the GOP primary in Alabama gubernatorial politics is tantamount to election in the Heart of Dixie, so the winner of the June 2018 Republican gubernatorial primary will be your next governor and will probably hold that post for eight years. Over the next three weeks I will handicap the horses in the 2018 Alabama Derby. I will begin in reverse or descending order with the last place handicapped horse first and end with the favorite or first place horse discussed last. We will go in descending order. I have begun the Derby with 18 potential horses. In alphabetical order they are: Tommy Battle, Young Boozer, Bradley Byrne, Mike Hubbard, Kay Ivey, Tim James, Walt Maddox, Del Marsh, John McMillan, John Merrill, Jim Main, Roy Moore, Arthur Orr, Greg Reed, Vaughn Stewart, Sandy Stimpson and Luther Strange. We will begin handicapping these potential horses next week. See you next week.

How can people trash such a beautiful place? Retaliation I for Paris

OurView

attacks is a slippery slope

The 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.

t’s funny how what you do affects your attitude. Last Saturday, I was part of a team that worked cleaning up the Tallapoosa River. Our crew was a tiny part of the much bigger Tallapoosa River and Lake Martin Clean Up efforts. It was supposed to rain. The river was running brown, fast and high. But I was happy to be there, happy to be giving up a Saturday morning for a very good cause, happy to be on the river any time. If you edit that down, I was happy, happy, happy. Besides, the air temperature was around 70 degrees, and the water temperature wasn’t too cold. Harold Banks, Chuck Browne, Ruben Thornton and I got into our boats – my Jackson Kilroy, a kayak-canoe hybrid, and three solo canoes. We headed downstream while two more paddlers, Julie Burns and Liz Parker, drove their sit-on-top kayaks down to Jay Bird Creek to clean up around the landing and paddle below the rapids. The river was strong and it was running high enough so we didn’t have to follow the primary rule of paddling between the Horseshoe Bend and Jay Bird Creek boat ramps – STAY LEFT! In the summer, you’ll be pulling your boat over scores of rocks if you go right. Stay left and it’s an easy trip. Except on Saturday, when you could pretty much go anywhere without hitting a shallow spot. The water was running fast enough that sometimes we could see trash on the shoreline but we

couldn’t stop to pick it up. I’m happy to report that was not the case most of the time. Also happy to report that most of the river was relatively clean. I’m not happy to report that parts of the river were absolutely filthy, those parts where roads come close to the riverbank. I probably picked up a total of a dozen cans and bottles between Horseshoe Bend and the downstream end of Peter’s Island. However, just across Fox Creek, Harold and I stopped at a red-clay landing. We had spoken to Shane Harris and knew a trash pick-up crew had already been there that morning. We could see their footprints and the immediate area was trash free. However, a just few feet into the woods all around the road there was enough trash to fill a dumpster. So we started picking up. Harold gave me a big black trash bag that I carried into the woods. There I put it down and, without moving more than 15 feet, filled it so full of bottles that I could barely lift the bag. Beer bottle, after beer bottle, after beer bottle. I’d pick up a handful without moving my feet, take a step and find myself balancing on a leaf-covered longneck or two while facing another half dozen bottles within reach. At some point, while I was bent over in the

woods, the blood rushing to my head while my hands were filled with bottles and broken glass, I began to get angry. Cleaning up after people will do that. Just this week Tallapoosa County was recognized as the prettiest county in Alabama the Beautiful. That stretch of the Tallapoosa River, which is filled with clean, flowing water, and in the early summer, acres of Cahaba lilies, is one of the most beautiful places I know. I cannot comprehend how anybody who comes there to enjoy the outdoors can think this is a good place to leave trash. But obviously it happens all the time. On the way downstream, I straddled a 60-pound trash bag filled with bottles and broken glass in the front of my kayak. And I kept filling up the back of my boat as we paddled – we all did. And we brought in hundreds of beer bottles and lots of other trash. Ruben pulled a tire off the bank and managed to get it downstream in his canoe. It’s been a week and I can still feel the blood rushing to my face when I think about it. If you drink beer on the river, please drink from cans. And crush your cans after you drain the beer. And carry the small crumpled aluminum disc’s home with you. It’s easy. And it saves our most beautiful places. We could run the same stretch of river and pull out the same amount of trash next week. Probably need to. Boone is publisher of The Outlook.

Catfishing ain’t what it used to be

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

JODY FULLER Guest Columnist

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.

on what increases would be made. The council voted to allow Dr. Jon Broadaway to install a small aerator to see if it will work to help bring down numbers in the town sewage effluent. “What Dr. Broadaway wants to do is put an aerator like from a catfish pond in one corner of the lagoon,” Mayor Danny Evans said. “If it works and ADEM is happy with the idea it could save us money on the sewage system.” The idea is to run a test on a small scale that the council approved at a cost of $1,750. If ADEM is happy with the results, the total project would cost about $40,000, much less than the estimated $4 to 6 million the town was looking at to repair the town’s sewage system. The council voted to let Dr. Broadaway install the aerator with the help of town employees. Joe Harmon of David Hicks and Associates spoke with the council about what his company can do to help the town increase revenue from water customers. “Everyone has water loss,” Hicks said. “Some comes through hydrant use but some is lost due to old water meters.” Harmon went on to explain that his company, an engineering firm, can help the town put together a grant application that would change out the water meters. “With older meters, we see loss,” Hicks said. “ The meters do not represent the amount of water that goes by them.” In addition to the increase in revenue due to reclaiming water loss, Harmon explained that the new meters would be radio read.

“It also saves on labor when reading the meters,” Harmon said. “Someone in a truck just drives by,” Harmon said. “ A laptop reads the meters and then it matches up with the billing system saving money from reading the meters to inputting the data into the system. My conservative estimate is a three percent increase in revenue and I have seen as high as ten percent.” Mayor Evans was happy with the idea. “Where were you three years ago,” Evans said. The council voted to allow Harmon to pursue the grant for the project especially since the business works on a contingency basis – the business only gets paid if the town gets grant money and decides to go with the project. Councilmember Smith encouraged all to donate food to the Camp Hill Library Food Drive. • heard of the possibility of someone wanting to lease or purchase the old airport to be able to land planes for lake residents. • discussed just asking for a flat fee from the organizers of the SoPhi Block Party who would like to use the old airport for the event next summer. • approved to allow Hand and Associates to install municipal QuickBooks, provide training and enter the previous three years of documents into the system from $9,900 plus cost of the software and any needed computer upgrades. • approved to pay the bills as far as the money will go. • approved the minutes from the Oct. 19 meeting.

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. 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 Woodyard-Hamilton 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 Woodyard-Hamilton 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.

The God Questions So, if you could ask God any question, what would it be? Would it be “Why does a good God allow suffering?” How about, “What really happens when I die?” Or, “Do all roads (and all religions) lead to you?” “Was Jesus really your son?” “Is the Bible true and can I trust what it says?” These are all great questions, and at New Covenant Church we’re exploring the answers. Come join us – no question is too tough!

Holiday First Presbyterian Church News: I enjoyed services at the Presbyterian Church last week. Before the sermon, we had a lovely choir group sing “Love Lifted Me”, consisting of singers Dale Brassell, Debbie Evers, Tony & Nina Johnson, and even Rev. Ben! It truly lifted us all. Rev. Ben’s sermon was titled “…provoke one another to love and good deeds…encouraging one another…” with scriptures from 1st Samuel 2 and Mark 13. The synagogue was about to be destroyed and Mark commented that there was much to be worried about in the world. In preparation for the celebration of Thanksgiving and Christmas, we look forward to celebrating peace with our loved ones. Remembering the wars and deaths all over the world, let us consider how to encourage one another. “Provoke one another to love and do good deeds.” Where is the peace and goodwill toward others?

Sports Record The

Jones signs baseball scholarship with Crimson Tide By Robert Hudson Record Sports Editor

A Dadeville Tiger is officially taking his skills to Tuscaloosa. Dadeville senior outfielder Cal Jones officially signed a scholarship to play baseball for the University of Alabama on Friday in front a DHS library filled with family, friends and students. Cal said he is truly blessed to sign with the Crimson Tide. “It’s just a blessing and very exciting to be a part of the Crimson Tide,” Cal said. “I’m just looking forward to my senior year here at Dadeville and getting up to Alabama and working hard to try and find my way up there.” In 2015, Jones was named first team on the 2015 Alabama Sports Writers Association All-State Baseball Team and hitter of the year in Class 4A. Jones finished the season with a staggering .592 batting average in 125 at-bats and 39 games during Dadeville’s run to the second round of the Class 4A State Playoffs. Jones also had 13 doubles, two triples, four home runs, 30 RBI and 20 stolen bases in 2015. David Jones, Cal’s father and an assistant on the DHS baseball team, said he is proud as a father and coach to see his son achieve one of his lifelong dreams. “This is the proudest day in your baseball career because you get to move on to the next level,” David said. “We all

grew up Alabama fans, so it can’t get any bigger for us. We’re just tickled to death. We’re grateful for everyone coming out to show their support. There are a lot of good friends here, family, folks that have helped coach, teammates, preachers and we just want to thank everyone for what they’ve done, and Roll Tide.” Cal said the coaches and campus were a big part of his desire to join Alabama. He said he has been a fan as long as he can remember, and he hopes to provide speed and versatility to the Crimson Tide. “The coaches, the atmosphere and I’ve always been a huge Alabama fan. Everything about Alabama, I love,” Cal said. “I just can’t wait to be there. I can run fast and being an athlete I can bring a little bit more tempo to the game.” Going into 2016, Cal said he wants to improve all areas of his game. “The main thing I want to work on is the mental part of my game, and just being a better teammate,” Cal said. “But you always want to work on all phases of your game. I’m just going to work hard. That’s all there is to it.” DHS Head Baseball Coach Randy Nolen said the fact that Cal was able to sign Division-I right out of high school says a lot about his skills and character. “It means he’s a pretty good player to sign with Alabama, Division-I right out of high school also means he’s a pretty good student,” Nolen said. “To have this much

support means he’s a pretty good kid. It’s a pinnacle and this is as good as it gets, as far as a coach, watching your players achieve this and knowing what kind of person and player he is. That’s the thing that’s exciting is knowing his potential and knowing he’s got this opportunity to play Division-I right out of high school.” Nolen added that Cal only has the potential to get even better, and with his work

ethic, the sky is the limit. “But it’s also exciting knowing the kind of potential he’s got, dare to say, to probably be watching him playing pro ball and maybe in the big leagues one day,” Nolen said. “I know he’s got that passion, that drive and I know that’s ultimately what he wants. He’s a pretty determined kid who’s overcome a lot as far as injuries with the knee. He’s special.”

Lyman Ward starts golf program, partners with new Stillwaters ownership By Robert Hudson Record Sports Editor

This week was a week of firsts for Lyman Ward Military Academy as they teed off for the first time with their new golf program. LWMA began practice for the first time with its new golf program, announcing Stillwaters Golf Course as its home course. “We don’t have a golf course, and we actually just made ourselves a green, but we needed a place where the cadets could actually learn how to golf,” said Lt. Col. Pat Kelly of LWMA, who will serve as the coach. “So, I came out to Stillwaters and met Rob, and he just volunteered. He’s already given them one lesson on how to hit with the irons. They’re excited because we’ve never had this type of opportunity before.” Rob Witherington, PGA Professional and Director of Golf at Stillwaters, said the partnership fits in perfectly with the mission of a golf pro. “As a PGA Professional, my primary focus daily is to take care of the business here, but also to promote the game of golf and expand it,” Witherington said. “So anybody that shows an interest in golf, the pro is there for them. So, when Pat came by – he’s one of our residents on site and a part of our family here – he asked will you partner with us and went over the details. I said this can work.” Witherington joined as the new golf pro at Stillwaters, which is under new ownership in Keith Hiett.

Hiett said serving as the home course of LWMA is a great way to spread interest in the game of golf. “We’re excited about it. We feel like to make this place successful, we’ve got to help people and part of that is growing the game,” Hiett said. “That’s what’s big for us. Rob is going to be a big part of that because a part of his job is growing the game. Part of growing the game is getting youngsters involved.” Kelly said the cadets also show their appreciation for being able to use the course through various projects at Stillwaters. “Community service is important, espe-

cially for the cadets, and they wanted to do something to give back to Stillwaters,” Kelly said. “They’ve got a lot of different jobs that we can do here, and in fact the cadets put in a couple hours the other day pressure washing. They want to give back because they appreciate being able to come out here.” Witherington said he is happy to be able to help out, as he has shown some of LWMA’s new golfers the basics of the game. “So, it’s my time and energy and our wonderful facility that are available to these young men,” Witherington said. “They did a great job in their first clinic that we did, and

we’ll just continue to work on their game and help them improve. At some point, we’ll let them loose on the drive range and let them practice a bunch and they will then go on the course and play some real golf.” While the season of competition does not start until the spring, Kelly said the cadets have a lot of time to get practice on their game. “We’ll start competing in February, so that will give us plenty of time to practice,” Kelly said. “We’ve got different skill levels – some of them are just starting off and some of them can drive the ball 325 yards.” Christopher Matricia, a senior on the team, said the new team is a great way for him to get back into the game and hopefully one day take his abilities to the next level. “It gives me a chance to continue to play the game of golf while I’m at school away from home,” Matricia said. “I started playing when I was 7, stopped when I was 12, but I’ve picked it back up last summer. I hope to continue to build my game and hopefully play in college.” Junior player Corey Colvin said he is excited to be a pioneer with the school’s first golf program. “It means a lot because when I looked at the website for the school, I wanted to see if they had a golf team, but they didn’t. Once I got here, they started it, so I was happy with the fact that I could play while I’m here,” Colvin said. “I’ve been playing since I was three. I want to get as good as possible so I can go play in college. I feel like I can do that with this program.”

Dadeville’s season ends in second round loss to Andalusia By David Granger Record Staff Writer

Fifty years after the 1965 10-0 Dream Season that brought Dadeville a state championship, the 2015 version of the Tigers had hoped to create a dream season of their own. But the Tigers were awakened tonight at Tiger Stadium 44-26 to the nightmare of visiting Andalusia and junior running back Jamal Hourel, who gained 185 yards on 24 carries and scored five touchdowns to lead the Bulldogs to the third round of the Class 4A state football playoffs. The Bulldogs, now 11-1 on the season will travel to 9-3 Munford in the round of 16. Dadeville finishes 6-6 on the season. “We fought hard the first half,” said Dadeville head coach Richard White. “The second and third quarters got away from us a little bit. Got a turnover down there and couldn’t turn it into any points and the wheels kind of fell off. “Hats off to Andalusia, they’ve got a real good football team. But our kids played hard. They never gave up. There were some things that probably didn’t go our way at times, but that’s just part of football.” White was proud of his seniors for getting this year’s Dadeville team to the second round of the playoffs. “Our seniors have been here four years and they’ve worked their tails off,” White said. “They had a winning season and they got us to the second round against a lot of adversity. But that’s just something we’re used to doing around here.”

Dadeville took the game’s opening kickoff and drove 80 yards on eight plays to take its only lead of the night. Junior quarterback Margarius Buchanan – who rushed for 164 yards and a touchdown on 34 carries and passed for 130 more yards and three touchdowns, two to senior receiver Tyreke Stone and another to senior Isaiah Hicks – did all of the work, running for 48 yards and passing for 32 more, including the 9-yarder for the score to Stone with 8:34 left in the opening stanza. But the lead didn’t last as Andalusia’s Jaylon Washington took Dadeville’s ensuing kickoff back 79 yards for the Bulldogs score and Chase Hopkins’ PAT gave Andalusia a 7-6 lead. Andalusia went to its bag of tricks immediately, pulling off an onside kick that the Bulldogs recovered at the Dadeville 48. The seven-play touchdown drive included five Hourel runs, including the three-yard score with 5:47 still to play in the first. This time, Hopkins’ extra-point try flew wide left and the Andalusia lead was 13-6. Dadeville came roaring back. On thirdand-2 on the ensuing drive, Buchanan rambled 47 yards down the left sideline to the Andalusia 10. He scored from three yards out two plays later and, for good measure, kicked the PAT to tie the contest at 13 at the end of the first quarter. The Bulldogs looked as if they were going to pull away in the second quarter as Hourel found paydirt twice, once from 42 yards out to cap a five-play drive and again from eight yards out. The second drive began with Hourel’s 44-yard ramble to the

Dadeville 44 and a tacked-on unnecessary roughness penalty against the Tigers. With 5:45 left in the half, Andalusia had increased its lead to 27-13. But Dadeville wasn’t out of fight. The Tigers marched 80 yards in 11 plays to cut the lead back to seven on a drive that saw a Bulldog interception of a Buchanan pass wiped out by an interference penalty before a Buchanan-to-Hicks pass capped the drive to close out the scoring in the half. Andalusia would stretch its lead to 30-20

in the third quarter on a 26-yard Hopkins field goal before blowing the game open in the fourth with touchdown runs by Hourel on consecutive drives, one from 27 yards out and the other a 12-yarder. Hopkins nailed both PATs. Dadeville scored its final touchdown of the game and of 2015 as the clock ticked inside the two-minute mark, Buchanan hitting Stone on a 20-yard strike. The try for two failed.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. – Psalm 119:105

“D

iamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” was introduced by Carol Channing in the Broadway production of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. (1949). In a 1953 remake, the leading role of Lorelei Lee was played by Marilyn Monroe whose performance etched the song into history by becoming the 12th most important film song of all time. To find out what intrigues a man, I did a little research to see where the phrase “dogs are a man’s best friend” originated, whether an old floppy eared hound dog lying on the porch or the birddog pointing a covey of birds. History says that the friendship of a dog was first “said” by Frederick II, King of Prussia, referring to his Italian greyhounds as his best friends. I began to think on these two phrases. As I have never been one who really enjoyed wearing a lot of jewelry the idea of a diamond has never

Jackie Wilbourn Bethel Baptist Church

appealed to me. My thought is that money can be spent more wisely. Be aware I am not “bashing” the ones who enjoy their “sparkling rocks” but it’s not for me! Now dogs are a totally different story. In fact, King Frederick II should not have been so gender specific when he made his statement; “dogs are MANKIND’S best friend.” I can pull into my drive way and out struts “Ruby” and “Smiley” to greet me at the car with their tails wagging faster than a box fan. Their job is to guard and protect, no one comes in without permission. As I enter the door to our home and there stands little “Pearl the Pug” whose

audible sound mimic the words, “missed you”, If I were to ask you who or what is your best friend, what would your reply be? In His Word, the root word friend is mentioned numerous times and the word love is usually written in conjunction with the word friend. Why didn’t scripture tell us that diamonds or dogs will make us happy; because they are not eternal? The real definition of a true friend comes from the Apostle Paul, “For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commandeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:7-8). “Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for a friend.” (John 15:13. Now that is friendship!

HHHH Your playfulness might not be appreciated as much as you would like. Be careful, as others could be much more serious than you are. Tap into your instincts, and you will be able to avoid a problem. A Ă&#x2026;irtation marks your day. Tonight: Time for some spontaneity. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Tension continues to build, no matter what you do. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to do your thing, but something or someone could be holding you back. On some level, you might feel cornered by the circumstances. Know that you can walk away. Tonight: Follow someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Be willing to state your case and get feedback. You will see how creative others become when interacting with you. A neighbor or sibling could be seeking you out. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Ă&#x201E;ght an inevitable conversation. You might not want to react to what you hear. Tonight: Hang out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Watch what goes on with your Ă&#x201E;nances. Be careful with an unusual offer that feels too good to be true, because it probably is. Try to detach when hearing new information. Focus on your goals and on the productivity of a relationship. Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Your ideas strike people as being unusual, but they often prove to be more workable than othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; suggestions. A friendship continues to rank high in importance; however, you might want this person to change in some way. Accept him or her as he or she is. Tonight: Out late. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might not want to share whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really going on in your mind. Others will recognize that something is going on with you, and could pressure you. A boss also is likely to be extremely demanding. Try to understand where everyone is coming from. Tonight: A must appearance.

Former Tallassee officer pleads guilty By Kevin Taylor Tallassse Tribune

Former Tallassee Assistant Police Chief Chris Miles, 41, pleaded guilty to one count each of obstruction of justice, deprivation of rights and distribution of marijuana in federal court Tuesday. Sentencing for Miles has been set for Feb. 23 at 10 a.m. before Honorable Judge Myron H. Thompson in Montgomery. Miles was originally indicted on two counts of obstruction of justice as well as deprivation of rights pertaining to the investigation and questioning of accused sex offender Stephen Conrad Jr. April 2013. Miles was involved with the investigation and arrest of Conrad on more than 100 counts of sexual abuse of children less than 12 years old. But most of those counts had to be withdrawn when it was discovered that Miles forced Conrad to confess. In the indictment, it alleged Miles â&#x20AC;&#x153;assaultedâ&#x20AC;? Conrad, while he was in the Tallassee Jail. Miles then lied to an FBI agent about hitting Conrad in the head twice with a pack of copy paper while in custody and was being questioned. The fourth count alleged that sometime in 2013 Miles distributed â&#x20AC;&#x153;a mixture and substance containing a detectable amount of marijuana.â&#x20AC;?

Miles used his position as assistant chief to steal approximately 16 pounds of marijuana from the main evidence room to later sell to a known drug dealer for $4,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miles was a maverick, working outside the law,â&#x20AC;? said U.S. Attorney George Beck Jr. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fortunately, the overwhelming majority of our law enforcement officials act reasonably and with the bounds of the U.S. Constitution.â&#x20AC;? Miles resigned from the police department shortly after he was arrested for breaking into the Tiger Pride convenience store in Shorter on Oct. 20, 2013. Tallassee Police Chief Jimmy Rodgers said shortly after the burglary in Shorter, an investigation by the Alabama Bureau of Investigation led to the internal probe of the police department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is where we found some discrepancies, and it led to subsequent charges at the federal level,â&#x20AC;? Rodgers added. Conrad pleaded guilty to four counts of sex abuse and was sentenced to 16 years in prison on Oct. 6. Conradâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Brandy Jean, pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual abuse of a child under 12 years old and sentenced to 10 years in prison in February. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Willie G.

DHS Marching Band recieves donation By Corey Arwood Record Staff Writer

Kenneth Boone / The Record

This aerial view of fall leaves in full color near Chimney Rock on Lake Martin is one example of the beauty oﬀered in Tallapoosa County. That beauty made the Washington Post declare our county as Alabama’s Most Beautiful county.

ALABAMA’S MOST BEAUTIFUL Washington Post ranks Tallapoosa as state’s prettiest By Corey Arwood Record Staff Writer

Tallapoosa County was recently named the “prettiest” county in all the land of Alabama. It held the top spot in the Washington Post’s list of “The 7 Prettiest and 10 ugliest counties in Alabama.” Elmore and Baldwin were deemed the lesser worthy runners-up, and some of the “ugly” counties had names like Dekalb, Bullock and Crenshaw. The Post article Post article was called “Every county in America, with areas ranked by scenery and climate,” which got its numbers from the USDA and what is called the natural amenities scale. This scale takes into consideration the degree and amount of “natural amenities” present within every county of the US. These amenities consist of geographical variations like the presence of water, such as lakes or rivers, and mountainous terrain, among other factors like how temperate each region is throughout the different seasons.

Tallapoosa County was ranked 433rd. But considering that there were a total of 3111 counties ranked, that places it relatively high on the national scale. “I think it’s a tremendous honor … but it’s also one that I think is very deserving,” said John Thompson, president of the Lake Martin Resource Association. Thompson has been in the Tallapoosa County area since 1992, and this is his fourth year as president of the LMRA. He has also been involved in organizing efforts to clean local rivers for about eight years, and he said the latest effort brought out 300 volunteers. Thompson said that he has done extensive hiking, backpacking, canoeing and kayaking in many different areas. “No other state or county had as many great offerings as far as the outdoors and the environment is concerned,” said Thompson. Sen. Jeff Sessions was at Horseshoe Bend National Park on Friday and com-

mented on the ranking. “I don’t know how they rate those things, but you can’t get much better than Tallapoosa County,” Sessions said. He said that he thought the area was particularly pretty and that the combination of valleys and rivers and hills is what appealed to him. He said that it was good for the local economy, and was comparable to industry in importance. “I do think that beauty creates an opportunity for attracting vacationers and people that come for recreation and retirement,” said Sessions. A lauded photographer based in the area, Jim Denney said he agreed with the ranking. “I think that Tallapoosa County is an outstanding county, especially for a photographer … We’ve got so many creeks and great scenes here on the lake,” Denney said.

The director of the Dadeville High School Marching Band was presented with a $500 check by the local Kiwanis Club for new band uniforms at its weekly meeting on Thursday. Ryan Gresko just took the position as band director for DHS and also Councill Middle School last year. “This is going to go to good use, and I really appreciate it and the kids will,” Gresko said. “We want them to look sharp, to have something that they can be proud of.” He spoke about his efforts to reinvigorate the band program and increase its membership, and also the recent renovation efforts of the DHS band facilities. Gresko said his goal within the next five years is to get 100 students enrolled in band. “Uniforms are expensive, they are so expensive just to get 100 marching band uniforms, that’s the coat and the pants with the hat and the plume, 100 is anywhere between $28,000 and $32,000.” He said that the program’s goal is to raise $30,000. Within the last three months or so, they have raised a little over $20,000. There was also a belated Veterans Day salute extended to the veterans among the Kiwanis members present at the meeting. After that the club members and guests were given a performance by Tom and Matt Campbell of the Campbell Brothers. The Dadeville duo, both natives of New Orleans, entertained the club with their blend of folk, Celtic, country and bluegrass music played

on dulcimer, harmonica and acoustic guitar. After their performance the Tom gave guests an impromptu tutorial on dulcimer technique. “We love it and it’s as much their musical talent as their senses of humor,” Betty Hayes, Kiwanis Club member, said. Next week the club will host Dadeville Police

Chief David Barbour and Investigative Sgt. Johnathan Floyd as part of National Law Enforcement Month. They will field questions and comments and deliver a state of affairs talk on crime and safety issues for the Dadeville area. Guests are invited but must contact Betty Hayes in advance.

256-234-6071 1945 Hwy 280 • Alexander City, AL

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.”

Nationwide:

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

their rates, we’re on it. 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. We are active members in

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 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 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.

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.”

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.
