Coosa, Dadeville face off on the hardwood

Plan how to fill that holiday plate

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

It happens every year in November and December.

Families and friends gather for the holidays and the interactions are often centered around food. Grandma’s dressing, mom’s sweet potato casserole, turkey, ham and breads of all sorts seem to be

on the buffet. Don’t forget the desserts of 20 different varieties, too.

There is nothing wrong with eating at family gatherings but it appears we are visiting the buffet too often while overloading the plate over and over again. A national study shows Alabamians are among the most overweight residents in the U.S.

Unemployment up slightly

Lisa Neese of Alexander City has struggled with overeating much of her life and often around the holiday family gatherings.

“I ate to a point I was miserable at the holidays, to the point I would not want to eat again,” Neese said. “Then an hour later, I was eating again.”

In June 2017, Neese

sought help for her weight issues through Overeaters Anonymous, traveling to Auburn for meetings and learning ways to avoid the holiday stuff while still sampling much of what is offered.

“I am able to eat what I want,” Neese said. “I just have to calorie count.”

At its Monday meeting, the New Site Town Council tabled a proposal that would keep town hall open without a break on weekdays to give residents more chances to conduct business.

Town Hall is currently open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. weekdays but closes from noon to 1 p.m. so town employees can take a lunch break. The council discussed eliminating the lunch hour while finding a way employees can still take their lunch breaks.

Councilmembers are split — some want to change the hours, while others sought to table the proposal and discuss it further with town employees before reaching a decision. The town clerk said she hadn’t heard about the proposal before the meeting and Mayor Phil Blasingame took the blame for that.

“That’s my fault,” he said. “I want to sit down See COUNCIL • Page A10

While unemployment has gone up in Tallapoosa County, the number of those without a job in Coosa and Elmore counties has remained steady for the last year and is better than the seasonally adjusted statewide rate of 4.1 percent, according to October figures from the Alabama Department of Labor.

Elmore County was among the lowest unemployment rates in the state in October at 3.3 percent — it was 3.2 percent a year ago.

Coosa County’s rate of 3.9 percent in October was up slightly from 3.8 percent in October 2017.

Unemployment in Tallapoosa County worsened from 3.9 percent in September to 4.2 percent in October, and it was 3.6 percent a year ago.

Overall, the labor department said October marked the sixth straight month a record number of people were working in Alabama — 2.122 million, which is 40,377 more than See UNEMPLOYMENT • Page A11

Student earns failing grade as a vacation house-sitter DEAR ABBY: Our family went away for a twoweek vacation. One of my co-workers suggested I hire her daughter to stay in our home and take care of our pets and plants in our absence. The daughter is 20 years old and a student.

We agreed upon a generous payment and paid her as soon as we got home.

Everything was fine, except our stockpile of Costco items (granola bars and juice boxes) out in the garage was nearly depleted.

When I asked her about it, she texted me back almost in a joking way that she had helped herself and meant to replenish the supply, but it had slipped her mind. She had also “borrowed” a couple of items from our home she forgot to return (blow-dryer, a game and our wine glasses), but returned them once it was brought to her attention.

I was happy just to come home to my plants and animals being alive and our house in one piece. My

suppose the omission could be chalked up to immaturity, but I do think it should be mentioned.

DEAR ABBY Advice

husband, on the other hand, was not. He suggested I inform my co-worker that I won’t be hiring her daughter again because she was very unprofessional. What is your opinion on the matter?

-- HOUSE-SITTING IN THE EAST DEAR HOUSE-SITTING: I agree with your husband.

Although the daughter isn’t a professional house-sitter, she should not have taken items from your home without permission or without informing you about what she had “borrowed.” And if she was not given permission to help herself to the goodies in your garage, she should have left them where they were or offered to compensate you for them upon your return. I

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating this guy for 2 1/2 years. We started dating when he was separated and in the process of getting divorced. My friends and family have met him, but he has introduced me only to his friends. He didn’t want me to meet his family until now. (I don’t know why.) He has a 3-year-old daughter.

One day I sent him an article about “your kids shouldn’t be the most important.” Well, he became upset because he thought I was trying to separate him and his daughter. I tried to explain that the article says you should love yourself first, but he still misunderstood me. I told him I’m tired of him doubting us and my love. He isn’t sure if we are going to get married in two years.

What should I do? I want this relationship to work, but

at the same time I feel like he is dragging me nowhere.

-- VERY INSECURE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR VERY INSECURE: You say that although you have met this man’s friends, you still have yet to meet any members of his family. Why not? After 2 1/2 years, this is a red flag. That after all this time he says he isn’t sure he wants to marry you is an even bigger one.

Put your cards on the table with him as you have with me, and tell him you think it would be better for both of you to start seeing others because even after 2 1/2 years he still isn’t ready for a commitment and you are.

the inspiration for this event.”

The fun begins at 3 p.m., with several choral groups providing musical entertainment throughout the event.

There will be hot chocolate and warm punch for attendees, while children will have the chance to meet and take photos with Mrs. Claus.

Hidding said two mailboxes will be set up for children to mail letters to Santa, while a table with paper and pencils will give children who may not have already made their list for Santa the opportunity to write one.

The celebration will conclude around 4:30 p.m., when Dadeville Mayor Wayne Smith lights the Christmas tree on the lawn next to the front steps of the courthouse. As soon as he flips the switch to light the tree, store owners will flip their own lights on, creating a massive burst of color all around the square.

“The city seems

overwhelmed with excitement for this,” Hidding said. “The storefront owners on the square are all on board. When we first approached them, we told them we would line people up to decorate their windows if they were too busy, but they all said this was such a great thing, they would do it themselves.”

While the City of Dadeville does not officially sponsor the event, Smith said he

and the council were more than happy to have given Everything’s Art their blessing to move forward with the festivities.

“It’s going to be great,” Smith said.

“It’s all really coming together and I’m really excited. It’s really going to be something.”

Smith said he is excited to have the role of flipping the switch to light the tree, calling it an honor and a privilege.

Hidding said he hopes to see the courthouse square packed with people enjoying the lights and festivities.

“We hope and anticipate this becoming an annual event,” Hidding said.

“I’m hearing people all over town talking about it. We’re running an art contest with the local school, and we’re hearing that students are talking about it all over the school.”

Tree lighting an exciting start to Christmas season

E

verything’s Art, an art guild in Dadeville is sponsoring a tree-lighting ceremony on the courthouse square in Dadeville Sunday afternoon. The festivities will have a little something for everyone, including hot chocolate, choral groups, photos with Mrs. Claus and the chance to write a letter to Santa.

It will wrap up when Dadeville Mayor Wayne Smith flips a switch and the lights on the tree next to the front steps of the courthouse blaze their glory into the darkening sky.

The lights in storefronts surrounding the square will blink on immediately following the tree lighting, making the area around the courthouse a bright and exciting place to be.

Now that we are entering the Christmas season, decorative lights are going up on light posts in cities and towns across the country, inflatable snowmen and Santas fill suburban yards, and Nativity sets occupy special places alongside the secular decorations.

To go with all of this, Dadeville hit upon a great way to ring in the start of the holiday season. Everyone in town, plus residents from the surrounding area, can come together, enjoy some live music and refreshments and get ready for Christmas as one, followed by the mayor adding more light to the festivities when the tree shines forth.

With so many things in this world dividing us along any number of lines, events such as Sunday’s treelighting are a way to bring us together and remind us what we all have in common with each other. Since the event is free, it is an easy way we can all gather as one and begin anticipating all Christmas brings to us.

A round of applause goes out to the members of Everything’s Art for running with the idea of a treelighting ceremony, the Dadeville City Council and Mayor Smith for giving their blessing to the event, and to the general public for getting so excited about the festivities.

With everyone getting involved and taking part in the tree lighting, this event can only grow bigger, giving all of Tallapoosa County a Christmastime event we can all enjoy for years to come.

Auburn vs. Alabama, football and politics

T

he only sport that Alabamians enjoy more than Alabama politics is college football.

We especially love the Alabama vs. Auburn football game. Folks, this is Alabama/Auburn week in Alabama. The Alabama vs.

Auburn annual event is one of the fiercest of college football rivalries. It is the game of the year. It is a state civil war that divides friends and even families.

It is bragging rights for the entire year. The loser has to live with his boasting next door neighbor for 364 days.

It seems that one must choose a side no matter if you despise college football and could care less who wins. Newcomers to our state are bewildered on this fall day each year.

They cannot comprehend the madness that surrounds this epic war. It is truly that, a war. It is the game of the year.

Young boys all over Alabama grow up playing football in their front yards and dream of playing in this big game. It is said that when these two rivals meet one can throw out the record books. However, that is not necessarily true. In fact, in 90 percent of the games the favorite has won. A lot of SEC championships and bowl games have been decided in the game. It has made many Alabamians’ Thanksgiving holiday either joyous or sad. I liked the rivalry better when it was played at Legion Field, but I am an old-timer in heart and age.

The game was not played for 40-years between 1908 and 1948. Myth has it that the game was halted because of the intense rivalry. That is not the case.

The true history of the ceasing and renewal is that after the 1907 games, the schools could not agree on the terms of the contract.

The dispute involved meal money, lodging, officials

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist and how many players each side could bring. Football was not the passion it is today so the two schools let the matter rest and the fans did not seem to care.

That began to change as college football grew to a major sport in the 1940s.

When the series resumed, a popular myth was that the Alabama Legislature called a special meeting and forced the teams to play. This never happened, but the Alabama House of Representatives did pass a resolution in 1947 to encourage, not force, the schools to meet in football, and the officials at Alabama and Auburn agreed. The Presidents of Auburn and Alabama simply talked with each other and decided it would be in the best interest of the schools to start playing again on an annual basis.

The contract was drawn up, the papers signed and the rivals literally buried the hatchet. On the morning of December 4, 1948, the president of each school’s student bodies dug a hole at Birmingham’s Woodrow Wilson Park, tossed a hatchet in and buried it.

The series began again in 1948 with a 55-0 Alabama victory and the teams have squared off every season since.

Alabama leads the series 45-36-1. This record reveals that Alabama has not dominated the series, like it has against other SEC rivals and other national powerhouse programs.

In the political arena, the University of Alabama alumni have dominated the Alabama political scene. During the 60-year period from 1910 through

the 1970s, almost every Alabama Governor, U. S. Senator, and Congressman was a graduate of the University of Alabama, either undergraduate, law school, or both.

Currently, our state’s most prominent and powerful political figure, Richard Shelby, is a graduate as an undergraduate and the law school at the University.

A couple of Auburn men broke through the ice to grab the brass ring of Alabama politics, the governor’s office, Gordon Persons won in 1950 and Fob James, a former Auburn halfback won in 1978 as a Democrat and came back and won a second term as a Republican in 1994. In recent years, since 1982, Governors George Wallace, Don Siegelman, Bob Riley and Robert Bentley have all been Alabama Alumni.

However, our current Governor, Kay Ivey, is an Auburn girl through and through. She and her best friend, Jimmy Rane, became political allies at Auburn. They both have turned out fairly well.

Newly elected state representative Wes Allen of Pike County was a walk-on wideout on one of Alabama’s National Championship teams.

He was coached by Gene Stallings and Dabo Swinney. Wes’s father is state senator Gerald Allen of Tuscaloosa. This is a first in Alabama political history, a father and a son tandem serving in the Alabama Legislature together.

See you next week.

Letter to the Editor

Answered prayers this Thanksgiving Dear Editor,

As we enter this Thanksgiving season, individually we should not only humble ourselves voicing genuine appreciation for our bountiful land and so much we as Americans have, but also let us look deeply in ourselves and acknowledge “no” as an answer to prayer too.

I asked God for patience. God said no, patience is a byproduct of tribulations; if it is given then it isn’t earned.

I asked God for happiness. God said no, I give you blessings and happiness is up to you.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said no, his spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.

I asked God to take away my habit. God said no, it is not for me to take away, but for you to

give up.

I asked God to remove my pain. God said no, pain draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

I asked God to grow me spiritually. God said no, you must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God for all things. God said no, I give you life so you may enjoy all things.

I asked God teach me to love my fellow man as much as He loves me. God said, “Ah, you finally have the right idea.”

This day is yours; this life is yours; this great country is yours, don’t throw it away.

God’s blessing be with you this season.

James W. Anderson Talladega

The Outlook

Abbey, she was our cat

I

t was a beautiful fall day. I was out strolling Abigail on our quiet country road when Lucy called. “Mom just called.

Abbey was hit by a car,” she frantically said. “We need to go.”

I hurried on back as quickly as I could. I was kind of numb.

Abbey was our cat, and when I say “our cat,” she was, indeed, our cat. Mimi’s, Lucy’s, and mine. We all had the clipped-ear beauty at different times in our life when we needed her the most. Wherever she was, she made herself at home.

She had a sister named Waffles, who was hit by a car on East University Drive in Auburn during the summer of 2014. East University is a busy road with lots of traffic during the day and night. I don’t remember a whole lot about Waffles. In fact, I’m not sure I ever saw her alive. I did, however, pick her up from that asphalt on that hot July day and bury her. The lonely road where Mimi lives now in Dadeville is the exact opposite. It’s Mayberry.

Abbey was an inside/outside cat and would let you know when she wanted out and when

JODY FULLER Columnist she wanted in. She’d sit right by the door until someone bigger than her came along to open it.

The porch was her favorite place to be, but she would wander over to the large vacant lot across the road, too. There is a ditch and a small pecan orchard. I’m sure she found all kinds of trouble to get into.

Monday, while crossing the road to come home, it happened.

It wasn’t anyone’s fault. The sweet lady wasn’t speeding.

Mimi said the lady and her friend stopped to check on her.

They were very kind and were obviously disturbed by what had taken place. Sometimes bad things happen, and it’s nobody’s fault.

Abbey was Lucy’s cat first, even though she has a cat allergy.

She just loves animals that much.

Abbey stayed outside a lot when

she lived with her but was inside enough to often wake her up with cat paw slaps to the face. When Abbey wanted to your attention, by golly, she got it.

At some point, she started hanging out exclusively over at Mimi’s, who lived right next door when they both lived in Auburn. We used to eat over there a lot. One evening after dinner, I went to the living room to rest due to one of my headaches. I dozed off but was awakened several minutes later with a cat paw slap to the face. I started petting her and she began to bite ̽ that fun, playful bite that barely breaks the skin. I liked this cat.

When we moved, she stayed at Mimi’s. A year or so later, she sold her house and bought a new one on the other side of Auburn.

Due to pet restrictions, she couldn’t take Abbey, so she came back to us.

At the same time, Lucy and I were going through some very difficult times. She rented a house in Opelika and I moved back to my house. To make a long story short and due to her

cat allergy, I decided to take in Abbey.

I was in no way a cat person.

To be honest, I’d planned on keeping her for a couple of days and if that didn’t work out, I was going to rehome her. I wouldn’t have dropped her off at the pound or anything like that. I would have taken my time in finding the perfect fit, but I wasn’t going to keep her. Ruby, my lab, had never been around cats and she was my priority all the way.

That first day and night, I locked her in the bathroom.

Ruby stayed close to the door, wondering what the heck was on the other side. When I finally let her out the next day, they instantly became best friends.

I’d seen cats and dogs love each other like that on TV and online but never in person. They truly loved each other and I loved that cat in a way I never knew possible. She was so cool, so sweet, and just so much fun. For the next two years, the three of us were inseparable.

Then a funny thing happened.

Our family got back together and

we had a baby. We named her Abigail but often call her Abby, without the ‘e.’ By now, Mimi had moved to Dadeville and gladly welcomed Abbey home.

She loved it at Mimi’s. She was a great lap cat, and that’s what Mimi needed.

We still routinely go over for dinner and I would always go spend a little alone time with her.

She was such a sweet soul.

It might sound stupid, but with tears in my eyes, I told Ruby what happened. Somehow, I think she understood.

I buried her at Mimi’s, her forever home. Abbey the Tabby lived a good life. She was cool.

She was sweet, and she was just so much fun, no matter where she called home. She was our cat. Rest easy, sweet girl. You will be missed.

Thanksgiving brings back memories of family celebrations

H

ere we are in the week of Thanksgiving and delicious food shared by families. Since my family are all in England where this holiday is not celebrated, I’d like to share a few special thoughts of them.

My mother always made a special roasted dinner on Sundays and we always ate as a family at 1:30 p.m.

ROSIE MORGAN Columnist My dad worked every other Sunday until 1 p.m.

So his arrival home and hungry determined every Sunday dinner time. Mum always made a “pudding”

on Sundays. It was often a light steamed pudding with syrup and breadcrumbs at the bottom. It almost tasted like pecan pie at the bottom served with custard as a sauce and was always delicious. This was one of my dad’s favorites.

We didn’t see very much of my dad’s brother Eric and sweet wife Ivy only for the very occasional Sunday afternoon tea. They lived in Welwyn Garden City close to London where “Band of Brothers” with Tom Hanks was made some years back.

Uncle Eric was captured in 1941 Singapore by the Japanese at age 14 during WWII and was a prisonerof-war along with his father Albert de Broise until freedom came at the war’s end.

Eric wrote some sad recollections about those years in Changi Prison, but never discussed this with anyone. Notes about the time were found in the attic after his death. Uncle Eric’s grandson Simon de Broise married Amy in London. Eric and Ivy’s first great-grandchild Isla May de Broise was born on Nov. 14, 2013. It was also her great-grandfather Eric’s

Christmas at the Falls

birthday, as well as the 65th birthday of the Queen of England’s first child, Prince Charles. So, when the London Bells toll each year for Prince Charles’ birthday they do also for Isla, and as they live in London, they hear the bow bells.

Happy birthday to Tory Phillips Nov. 24. She is a lovely, sweet-hearted young lady who works in her mother Jamie’s dog grooming shop in Alex City. Nov. 28 is the special 60th wedding anniversary celebration for that dear and sweet ‘Ott’ couple Pete and Peggie Sue in Nixburg. I heard that Peggie was making her famous dressing for the family meal. Very many good wishes for James Hall Turner of Kellyton as his birthday falls on Nov. 29.

The Holley estate sale was well attended this week on Highway 22. I saw many familiar faces like Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cooper, Lila Graves and the lovely Joyce Reeves. I was able to meet her very beautiful daughter Rhonda, whose husband thought she looked like a “Lola” and that’s what he affectionately calls her. She does suit

The new Winn-Dixie parking lot was super and inside is so fresh and clean. I enjoyed shopping there. All workers are very friendly and that makes a difference with good bargains and plenty of cashiers. Last week, twice in Wal-Mart, just two cashiers were open with long, slow lines. Makes us wonder what the busy season will be like as we get close to Christmas. It’s just around the corner.

with our town employees and discuss this matter further.â&#x20AC;?

Councilmember Billy Daniel said he likes the idea of keeping town hall open. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things are fixing to pick up around here,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel we need to be there to serve the public.â&#x20AC;?

Councilman Mickey Carter added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were elected to make decisions.â&#x20AC;?

But Councilmember Bree Walton had reservations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have we discussed it with (town employees)?â&#x20AC;? she asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really feel we should.â&#x20AC;?

Councilmember Toby Hanson said he likes the status quo but town clerk Shelia Fuller expressed surprise, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the first time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hearing about this. I would have appreciated having been talked to on this matter.â&#x20AC;?

The council then tabled the issue until its next meeting Dec. 3.

In other action at the meeting: â&#x20AC;˘ It was announced town attorney Mack Clayton would review pertinent information

to clarify insurance for town employees. â&#x20AC;˘ Police chief Philip Weddle said his department has been busy and Blasingame added Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett recently commended Weddle and officer Justin Farr for their hard work. â&#x20AC;˘ The council approved a pair of resolutions. One designated Blasingame and Fuller as town representatives to sign documents regarding a supplemental loan to upgrade the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water system.

The other authorized the town to enter into an agreement with Sentell Engineering for a grant application to pave the walking track behind town hall. â&#x20AC;˘ New Site Senior Activity Center director Jan Kennedy said the center had a good turnout for both the November game night and the Veterans Day program, and added several attendees thanked her for the Veterans Day program.

Kennedy also said the heat is working well at the center. â&#x20AC;˘ The council held its first

budget and finance review of the new fiscal year and said revenue from the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water system has exceeded expenditures by nearly $13,000 while the general fund has $2,000 more in expenditures than revenue. Blasingame said that is because the council has paid its annual $5,000 donation to Horseshoe Bend School. â&#x20AC;˘ Carter said a state inspector saw no structural damage during a recent inspection of the New Site gym. With the inspection complete, the council will allow Clayton to review the information and see what needs to be done. The council also approved a motion to allow Clayton to send the information to the county building inspector. â&#x20AC;˘ Blasingame said the council is continuing to consider moving the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accounts to various institutions to earn interest. â&#x20AC;˘ It was announced town hall will be closed Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving holiday.

The next meeting of the New Site Town Council will be Dec. 3 at 5 p.m. at town hall.

Holiday Edition, November 21-22, 2018

Advocate diagnosed,â&#x20AC;? Mullins said.

As an ambassador for Autism Speaks and a volunteer for the Autism Society of Alabama, Mullins said she works with legislators in Washington, D.C., and Montgomery to help educate them about the disorder and encourage them to support legislation benefitting those with ASD. She has met with officeholders such as U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers and Alabama Sen. Tom Whatley, both of whom paid special attention to what Mullins had to say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to Rogers about getting him to join the Autism Caucus,â&#x20AC;? Mullins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He listened to me and was very receptive to what I was saying. Sen. Whatley was the same way. I had an unscheduled meeting with him, and we ended up sitting and talking for 45 minutes.

I feel we do have some good leaders.â&#x20AC;?

Mullins encouraged Whatley and other state representatives to support HB 284, which now makes it possible for families of autistic children to have various forms of therapy covered by their health insurance. HB 284 passed the Alabama House of Representatives 100-0 and the Alabama Senate 33-1 before being signed into law by Gov. Kay Ivey on May 19, 2017.

While meeting with representatives and senators is a key part of Mullinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work, she also spends time with local families, helping them better understand ASD and how they can work through the disorder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I educate them on things like their rights and the resources available to them,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I help talk them through the process.â&#x20AC;?

Mullins is a key organizer for the autism walk in Alexander City every year, visits local businesses every April to light their buildings blue in support of World

continued from page A1

Autism Awareness Month, and is planning a transitional resource fair to be held on Jan. 10 in the Benjamin Russell High School media center.

During this resource fair, local organizations and businesses will share information with attendees on how children with ASD can transition from high school into adulthood.

While Mullins wants to see more people involved with the autism walk and stronger support from local businesses every April, she is happy to see those who have been involved already taking a stand on the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Understanding the disorder is the big challenge,â&#x20AC;? Mullins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Understanding that a child with ASD is not typical does not mean they cannot succeed in life.

They can achieve great things, they just go about it in a different way.â&#x20AC;?

For example, Mullins said Torrie can successfully handle several things at once.

Other key challenges Mullins said must be overcome include making sure those with ASD receive the therapy they need in order to be fully successful and making sure the general public views those on the autism spectrum in a positive light, to see their possibilities instead of their disabilities.

In the future, Mullins wants to see more appropriate educational avenues for those with ASD, including technical schools and programs helping those on the autism spectrum become more productive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about making them feel special and successful, yet being appropriate for them,â&#x20AC;? Mullins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be a process of years to get this going, but I do believe it is an achievable goal. They are not less important than other people. However, if the community doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support them, they will be lost.â&#x20AC;?

The Outlook

November is Hospice Month STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month. Community Home Health and Hospice is the only locally owned and operated non-profit home care and hospice agency serving Tallassee, Eclectic, Reeltown, Wetumpka and surrounding communities. Located at 1526 Gilmer Avenue in Tallassee, the healthcare company strives to be the area leader in quality in-home care services.

They cover Elmore, Macon and Tallapoosa counties and have staff available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The Community Home Health care team guides and instructs patients on the road to recovery in their most comfortable environments – their homes. Their team of skilled nursing, medical social work, therapists and home health aides work hand in hand with patients, families and their healthcare pro-

viders to achieve their recovery goals.

Sharon Tatum, Community Home Health care director, stated the agency opened in 1994.

“We have made it our mission to provide restorative care with compassionate hearts and skilled hands,” Tatum said. “We have a personal interest in our community and the surrounding areas, because not only do we work here, we live here. Our families, friends, neighbors and church families are here.

This hometown foundation enables our team to provide an unparalleled level of personalized care that enhances your home health experience and most importantly, your recovery. I am honored and blessed to be part of such a skilled and dedicated team of professionals.”

The Community Hospice Care team began caring for patients in 2001. They understand the complexity of issues that surround hos-

pice care and end of life.

The Community care process is designed to maximize a patients and families quality of life. They offer patients and their loved ones comfort, support and guidance when facing a terminal illness.

Patients can receive care in their homes, in a nursing home, or in an assisted living facility. Families receive services during the care process and also receive continued services after the death of a loved one.

“Folks tell me all the time how great my staff is. I can honestly say that each person working for Community Hospice Care is not just doing a job — they see their role in hospice as a personal ministry, caring for their neighbors, friends, and community. It is a wonderful service and I am so blessed to be a part of it,” Community Hospice Care director Kim Vest said.

The Community Hospice Care team also consists of volunteers. The Heart of

Unemployment in October 2017.

“More than 40,000 Alabamians now have jobs that didn’t last year,” Secretary of Labor Fitzgerald Washington said in a statement.

“That means that they are contributing to our state’s economy and providing for their families.

Our labor force continues to grow, reaching its highest level of 2018, and the vast majority of those are finding jobs, which tells us that people have confidence in our economy.”

The civilian labor force (CLF) increased to 2.21 million in October, its highest level of 2018, representing a year-over-year increase of 48,254, according to the labor department.

“Additionally, we broke the record

continued from page A1

for the number of jobs our economy is supporting — again — beating the previous record by more than 12,000 jobs,” Washington said.

“We’re beginning to see retail hiring pick up in preparation for the holidays but over-the-year gains in high-wage industries like manufacturing and construction are extremely encouraging, with yearly gains of 3.88 percent and 2.52 percent, respectively.”

Over the year, wage and salary employment increased 34,500, with gains in the professional and business services sector (+12,500), the manufacturing sector (+10,200), and the construction sector (+2,200), among others, the labor department said.

Average weekly private-sector

earnings were again up over the year, rising by $18.88 per week, and construction earnings reached their highest level in history, rising to $984.13 per week, according to the labor department.

The preliminary, seasonally adjusted October unemployment rate is 4.1 percent, which is unchanged from September’s rate and above October 2017’s rate of 3.8 percent.

Counties with the lowest unemployment rates are Shelby County (2.8), Cullman County (3.2), and Marshall and Elmore counties (3.3).

Counties with the highest unemployment rates are Wilcox County (8.8), Clarke County (7.1) and Lowndes County (6.8).

Overeating visualizes her portion sizes so she won’t overeat and also drinks water before the meal. Neese understands and prepares herself to say “no thank you” when offered more and will slow down while eating.

Neese also takes an item she knows she can eat and others will enjoy. After a meal, Neese will often have a cup of hot tea.

A free app on her phone — My Net Diary — has helped Neese track her calorie intake and the calories she burns throughout the day.

Since June of last year, Neese has lost 77 pounds and has maintained her weight for about five

Hospice Volunteer Program provides local volunteers to work with patients and families in the home setting.

Patient volunteers visit with patients and sometimes read, play games or just fellowship with them. Some volunteers also work in the office. Office volunteers answer phones, copy, file and assist with events and activities.

The coverage for Community Home Health and Hospice Company is around 35 miles from the home office on Gilmer Avenue, beside Pizza Hut. They employ excellent, local staff and volunteers to take care of patients. This means they can get to you or your family member quickly to provide services. Referrals can be accepted from any hospital or physician’s office. For more information, call Community Home Health at 334-283-4522 or Community Hospice Care at 334-283-4250.

months.

Neese is not alone in her struggles with weight.

Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control suggest Alabamians are overeating more than just at the holidays. A 2017 CDC study listed Alabama as one of seven states with 35 percent of the population labeled as obese. The others are Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and West Virginia.

Neese’s weight-loss journey led her to start an Overeater’s Anonymous group in Alexander City.

They meet at the Trinity Campus of First United Methodist Church next to Russell Medical on

Thursdays at 6 p.m. Neese said about eight people on average attend and as many as 20 have come.

“People think of it as a diet club, but it’s not,” Neese said. “I have yo-yo dieted all my life. It is not about diet, it is about a lifestyle change. It digs into why you’re wanting to overeat.”

With Overeaters Anonymous, there are no dues, fees or weigh-ins.

Unlike Alcoholics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous is not about giving up food.

“In AA, they give up alcohol entirely,” Neese said.

“We can’t give up eating altogether, we just have to find the moderation.”

For more information about Overeaters Anonymous, contact Neese at 256-749-0160.

SPLIT DOWN THE MIDDLE

Central Coosa boys hold off Dadeville late

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

With just under two minutes remaining in Tuesday night’s boys basketball game, Dadeville’s Jay Patrick nailed a putback to give the Tigers their first lead of the night. It looked like they might pull off a miraculous comeback against Central Coosa after trailing by as many as 14 points in the second half.

But it wasn’t meant to be, as Coosa’s Noel Jones sank his fifth 3-pointer of the night to put the Cougars ahead for good with 29 seconds left. Jones hit the front end of a one-and-one, and teammate Jovon Richardson added a steal and a pair of free throws to ice a 53-49 victory for the Cougars.

“That was a huge 3

by Noel there,” Central Coosa coach Jeremy Freeman said. “That’s just part of our scheme; it’s there all the time.

Then 3 out of 4 at the line to give us that cushion and get us out, I’ll take it.”

For the second game in a row, Coosa looked like it would breeze by its opponent. The Cougars (2-0) built a 22-10 lead after the first frame, but then it became the battle of the 3-pointers.

Patrick, who had an exceptional game with 19 points and 10 rebounds, scored back-to-back longballs to pull the Tigers (0-1) within seven points.

“He shot it so well,” Dadeville coach Jesse Foster said. “He’s a solid young man.”

The Cougars’ lead stayed at 10 points or fewer until Richardson joined the 3-point party with one of his own to go ahead 44-31 with

1:55 left in the third.

From there, the Tigers went on an eight-point run, including one from beyond the arc by Jamarion Wilkerson, and the Cougars led just 45-39 heading into the fourth.

“We were down 14 in the second quarter, and we told them we weren’t going to call timeout,” Foster said. “We wanted them to keep fighting.

We just wanted to keep shooting it, and we were going to get one shot to get us back in the ballgame and we did.”

Dadeville finally tied it up on Patrick’s 3-pointer with 3:34 remaining and went ahead on Patrick’s putback.

But the final effort wasn’t enough, as Central Coosa’s defense, which generated 21 Dadeville turnovers, took control.

“You always gotta remember, everybody is going to give us the best

shot they have,” Freeman said. “We’re in their place, it was their first game and the crowd was involved. It was just a great atmosphere, and I’d like to congratulate them for such a great game.

Every night, we’re going to get people’s best shot and the ultimate goal is to win.”

A sloppy first half didn’t remain that way for the Dadeville’s girls basketball team Tuesday night.

The Tigers led Central Coosa by just three points at halftime, as neither team shot well in the opening half, but that changed in the third quarter. Dadeville came out of the locker room with a nine-point run, and the Cougars never recovered in a 39-27 loss.

“One of my pet peeves is I want us to be more in shape,” Tigers coach Pam Holloway said. “To me, that helps them in so many other aspects of the game of what to do and when to do it. But I’m pleased with the effort, especially being the first game.”

Both teams struggled with turnovers. Dadeville finished with 21 miscues, but that was nothing compared to the Cougars’ 30 turnovers. It was especially bad in the third quarter when Coosa coughed it up 11 times.

“You can see the youth for us,” Coosa coach Syreeta McKinney said. “They’re very young, so there’s a lot of work that needs to be done but we’re going to keep See GIRLS • Page B2

Horseshoe Bend’s cheerleaders had a fine showing at the Tallapoosa River Youth Football League competition, where they were judged on spirit and enthusiasm, crowd participation, difficulty of moves and transitions within the routine, as well as overall knowledge base of motions and timing of those motions within their routine. Top: Horseshoe Bend won the gold division for cheerleaders ages 10, 11 and 12.

but to the Tigers’ credit, they are 3-1 when the teams were evenly matched (2010, ’13, ’14, ’17).

Unfortunately, the 83rd addition of the Iron Bowl does not fall into the category of evenly matched.

There’s a reason Alabama is such a predominant favorite over the Tigers. It’s a really good team with really good players and really good coaches. However, no team is unbeatable and Auburn isn’t exactly chopped liver. So how can the Tigers win the Iron Bowl?

They’re going to need an outstanding performance from the defense just to stay in the game. Auburn’s front seven is one of the best in the nation at creating negative plays and disrupting the rhythm of the opponent. The secondary will, honestly, need to play its best game of the season.

The Tigers have also caused 20 turnovers this year. They’ll need to turn Alabama over at least four times while not coughing up any themselves.

I thought Stidham played his best game against Alabama last year and he’ll need to replicate that again Saturday. Auburn must stretch Alabama’s defense by utilizing its talent at wide receiver.

The Tigers can’t abandon the run altogether, but they’ll need to have success through the air early and often in order to set up the run. Finally, the offensive line will need to have its best game of the year by far.

Is that all? And I thought this was going to be difficult.

Did I mention how sick I am of playing the role of David?

working. It was a disappointing loss, but it just wouldn’t fall for us tonight.

“I don’t even want to talk about (our shooting). That’s the worst shooting game we’ve had in a long time.”

Although the Cougars (1-1) were cold from the floor, the poor shooting was also due to Dadeville creating some chaos defensively. That was especially true early in the third quarter, when the Tigers put up several back-to-back steals with fullcourt pressure. “(In the third quarter), we had some girls come in that stepped it up defensively and hit a couple good shots,” Holloway said.

“That helped us out a little bit.”

Dadeville (1-0) also went to work on the boards in the second half. After being out-rebounded 25-18 in the first half, the Tigers held a 26-20 advantage on the boards in the second half. Janiya Wyckoff led the way with 10 rebounds, while Nena Pearson

and Layla Grace each had nine.

De’Asia Doss also contributed eight boards.

“I was a little bit more pleased with it,” Holloway said. “But I’m

stickler, so I want them to block out a lot better. A lot of boards came right to us, and we didn’t block out so we missed them.

They outworked us on a lot of

those and they were able to get the putbacks.”

Central Coosa’s one shining star was Shae Suttles, who finished with the game’s only double-double. In addition to a team-leading 11 points, Suttles brought down a staggering 27 rebounds.

“She was doing her job,” McKinney said. “It’s just being able to get her the ball. That’s what we couldn’t do tonight.

She didn’t get the touches that she needed tonight, and that’s something we’re going to have to work on.”

Pearson, who did not play most of last season, was a big standout for the Tigers in her return. She contributed 12 points, three assists and a steal in addition to her nine rebounds.

“She’s come back with a whole different attitude,” Holloway said. “I’m going to give anybody another chance if they prove it to me, and so far, so good.”

double-double with 10 rebounds.

For Coosa, Casson Robbins added two 3-pointers and Omar Gaddis and Richardson each had one. For the Tigers, Wilkerson and A.J. Williams scored three times apiece from beyond the

arc and Cam Tai’s only bucket was a 3-pointer.

Despite the loss, Foster is encouraged by falling to Coosa by only four points.

“I told them that those guys are probably one of the best

teams we’ll play all season,” Foster said. “They just beat Sylacauga, who won the (Class) 5A state championship and killed them by 20-something, and they only beat us by four. So we’re going to be all right.”
