Murder cases continued to next term By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

The latest plea docket session for the Fifth Judicial Circuit was held Tuesday morning at the county courthouse in Dadeville, with a large number of cases being brought before Judge Ray Martin. A number of cases saw the defendant accepting a plea deal offered by the state, while others will continue to move forward through the judicial process to trial. In some of the more high-profile cases brought before Martin Tuesday

morning, the plea negotiations remain open and will return to the court when the judicial session opens again on Dec. 3, while a handful of others are set for trial, either during the upcoming term or have been held over for the next term. Dazmon Notorious Shaw, who has been charged with the September 2017 murder of John Farrell Adamson on Jah Street in Dadeville, saw his case continued to the next term. Fredrick Banks Williams, who is the defendant in a murder case dating back to a 2016 incident in Camp Hill, also saw his case

continued to the next term. Cobe Deshawan Bowens, who has been charged with four counts of manslaughter could have his case called in December. Bowens was out on bond, but it was revoked in August. Bowens turned himself over to authorities in January 2016 after leaving the scene of an accident in Camp Hill. James Moss, Eric Moore, Willie Ballard and Angela Barnett all lost their lives in the accident. Martin said the trial of Joshua Mark Vernon, who was allegedly involved with the November 2017 incident when

Shane Vernon escaped from the Coosa County Jail and led authorities on a chase across Alabama and Georgia before being apprehended near Atlanta, will be called on Dec. 3. Joshua Vernon is charged with robbery in Tallapoosa County in the event. Among those whose options remain open until the start of term on Dec. 3 include Earl James Beavers, who is charged with rape in the second degree; Jody Wayne Gann, who is charged with attempted murder and Michael Troy Ruff, who is charged with willful abuse of a child.

Salvation Army extends Angel Tree application deadline

Tuggle is chief of staff of house speaker

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

Alabama Speaker of the House Mac McCutcheon has appointed former State Rep. Mark Tuggle to chief of staff of the office effective immediately. “As a member of the Alabama House, Mark set Tuggle himself apart as a leader and proved a valuable source of wise counsel, so I’m pleased to continue utilizing his talents as my chief of staff,” McCutcheon said. “Alabama faces many challenges that the legislature must resolve and Mark will play a large role in developing and passing needed solutions to what ails us.” Tuggle said he appreciated the confidence McCutcheon placed in his abilities and looks forward to continue working with the members of the Alabama House. “When I decided against See TUGGLE • Page 5

Local families in need can have a brighter Christmas holiday this year, thanks to a program offered by the local offices of the Salvation Army. The organization has extended the application deadline for its annual Angel Tree program, helping area families make the Christmas season a little merrier and giving those who may need a little help more time to apply for assistance through the program. “We extended the deadline through next week,” Tabatha Glassburn with the Salvation Army said. “We will be taking applications Tuesday through Thursday of next week.” When a family looks for help through Angel Tree, Glassburn said an initial phone interview is held, followed by a more personal interview. These interviews help the Salvation Army determine the specific See DEADLINE • Page 5

Clients and employees of the Tallapoosa County Department of Human Resources now have a new building. The building and the services it helps provide are a huge part of the economy. “We are about a $15 million a year business here in Tallapoosa County,” Alabama Department of Human Resources commissioner Nancy Buckner said. “About $10 million is through benefits that gets out in the community and helps drive the local economy.” DHR provides services for many in the community like family assistance, food assistance, family services and childcare services. The new building was much needed – just the family visitation room alone justifies much of the cost of the new facility on Highway 49 South in Dadeville. It is much larger and provides a separate room for supervisors to view through one glass. “This is long overdue,” Buckner said. “This is a wonderful day and you can’t appreciate it until you go through the building where these wonderful people currently work.” See DHR • Page 9

DEAR ABBY: I read that there is a suicide somewhere in the world every 40 seconds. Numbers rise at holiday time. Feeling like a child whose nose is pressed against a window, seeing others from the outside as they enjoy the warmth of the moment, can lead to thoughts of abandonment and despair. That’s why I have a mission -- I set an extra place at my table. I can attest that it works. One year I announced in church that my home would be open to anyone who didn’t have a family. A woman came forward and accepted my invitation. We spent the day getting to know each other and bonded in friendship. Please encourage your readers to set an extra place at their holiday table. My brother committed suicide. I move forward in his honor. -- FULL OF GRATITUDE IN PHOENIX DEAR FULL OF GRATITUDE: Please accept

DEAR ABBY Advice

my sympathy for the tragic loss of your brother. I’m pleased to help spread the word. Isolation can be a killer, and inclusion can be a lifesaver. Bless you for what you are doing. I hope other readers will consider it and follow your example. DEAR ABBY: I have a dilemma I don’t know how to maneuver through. I have been working as an intern at a company for about 18 months. During the summer, I completed a test I needed to become fully licensed in my field. However, I’m still working in my current position at intern wages, although I have repeatedly requested a meeting with my employer to talk

money. He continues to say he doesn’t have time, and we will discuss it later. He even agreed to a time on a certain day but failed to show up for the meeting. When I emailed him the amount I want, he replied, “We’ll talk about it later.” Should I continue to press the issue? Call him? Email? Or just look for other work? -- CONCERNED ABOUT MONEY DEAR CONCERNED: You have done enough. Pushing your employer further won’t help. The ball is now in his court. Start quietly looking for another job -- one in which your skills will be appropriately compensated. DEAR ABBY: How can I tactfully tell an elementary school teacher in whose class I assist that she uses poor grammar and words that aren’t words (i.e., “I boughten this yesterday,” or, “Her and me went to the soccer game.”)? I am fond of this teacher but feel she’s doing a

disservice to her pupils. Other than that she’s a devoted, energetic teacher. It is really difficult to bite my tongue. -TACTFUL IN THE EAST DEAR TACTFUL: Children model their behavior after the example the adults around them provide. That a teacher would consistently do what she’s doing in a classroom setting is shocking. How could she have become a licensed educator with such poor English skills? Politically speaking, I don’t think that as her subordinate you should take it upon yourself to correct the woman. I do think this is something you should discuss with the school principal.

Celebrating Dia de los Muertos

Photos by Donald Campbell / The Outlook As part of the larger Open Door Wednesday events at Benjamin Russell, students in Amanda Fennel’s anatomy classes held a special Dia de los Muertos celebration. The students tied their anatomy lessons in with the traditional Mexican holiday by painting models of the human skull to look like the calavera, or decorative skulls often made of sugar and which play an important role in the Day of the Dead celebrations. Each of the bones that fuse together to make the skull were painted in a different bright color, highlighting each bone and its specific location. The students also built traditional Dia de los Muertos altars to add to the occasion.

A military soldier and scholar, who View Voter turnout a now serves his fellow veterans promising sight T

Our

esidents throughout Tallapoosa County flocked to the polls Tuesday for the 2018 midterm elections, overwhelmingly selecting GOP candidates to fill out local, state and national offices and approving the four proposed amendments to the state constitution. While the Republicans celebrate and the Democrats wonder what could have been, there is one thing both sides can agree on was a strong positive to see from everyone in the county — voter turnout. An estimated 51.74 percent of registered Tallapoosa County voters, or 15,769 citizens, made their voices heard at the ballot box, a percentage Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett said was the most number of votes cast he had ever seen. This is a promising sight to see. While this is still far from the 100 percent of registered voters we would like to see casting a ballot on Election Day, having more than half of those eligible to vote taking advantage of their right to do so is a positive sign. Generations of Americans have fought and died to secure this right we so dearly enjoy, so we owe it to those who have served — and those who never came home — from Lexington and Concord to Afghanistan and Iraq to take advantage of the ability to vote. While the next major round of elections is a year and a half away, there are still many other opportunities to exercise your rights as a United States citizen. Attend a city council or school board meeting. Voice your thoughts on issues with your congressman or senator. Encourage them to support a measure you agree with, or reject something you might not like. However, it still all boils down to casting a ballot on Election Day. We applaud those who did vote Tuesday, and encourage those who didn’t to be sure to exercise this right the next opportunity you get.

o commemorate this year’s Veterans Day, I’d like to tell you about one of our graduates. He’s the model of a leader, one who does so by serving his fellow veterans. Jason Peden probably had collegiate ambitions. But he put them aside, serving our country as an aircraft structural repairer in the U.S. Army for six years, from 2006 to 2012. Shortly thereafter, he enrolled at LaGrange College. Unless you knew him well, you’d never guessed he was in the U.S. Army. He was quite humble, though eager to learn and lead. He could be counted upon to help with conference presentations, attend Hallock Lectures at Columbus State University while helping with talks, and even playing an active role in our Model United Nations, managing local high schools through our crisis simulations and role playing countries. He probably never bargained for so much math, and so little CNN vs. Fox News style arguments past each other. But that’s how we teach political science at LaGrange College, with an emphasis on researching theories, constructing hypotheses, data collection, and statistics. But he took it on like any challenge. He was one of the researchers who statistically analyzed

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I am writing this letter in regards to our volunteer fire department in the Town of New Site.

I can tell you it takes

a lot of time, hard work and dedication from the volunteer men and women, which do a great job. They do many fundraisers to raise money to keep the fire department running like the fish fry on Oct. 13. They did a great job and I for one wanted to tell all the workers thank you! Also tell all the members of the Classic Cruisers Car Club thank you for all the

hard work they do for the fire department. Lastly, thank you to all the Tallapoosa County commissioners who have helped our fire department over the years. Everyone in the community take time to tell all of these people thank you for all that they do in our community. Curtis Mims New Site

Are you as relieved as I the election is over? While the election process is a precious right we enjoy, it nevertheless sometimes taxes our patience with the relentless mudslinging and nonstop TV ads. Yet, I always look forward to casting my vote. It was not totally unexpected there were troublesome delays with incredibly long lines Tuesday, both locally and nationally. While the national media reports that more 39 million Americans voted early, there were long lines across the country the entire day. Georgia reports that several voting locations had voters complaining they waited up to three hours to vote. Locally, The Birmingham

News is reporting the voting process in Alabama was marred by long lines, machine malfunctions and other inexplicable delays statewide. In Talladega, significant delays were present, especially at the Spring Street voting location. Personally, I experienced unnecessary delays both Tuesday and during the primary election earlier this year. Some of my neighbors stated that they were unable to vote after going to Spring Street twice because the workers were unable to find their names, even though they are lifetime residents of Talladega. Other friends said they didn’t try since they had experienced past delays. Social media over the past 24 hours was replete with complaints of long

lines outside the building and down the sidewalk as late as 6:30 p.m. at Spring Street. The complaints seemed to be either malfunctioning machines or workers unable to promptly process voters. Currently, 37 states allow early voting. It is time for Alabama to come into the modern world and allow early voting. Thousands of working Alabamians simply cannot spare the time to stand in long lines to vote. By virtue of the outdated process, we are denying the right to vote by not providing a fluid and modern system. Sources: The Birmingham News, November 7, 2018 James W. Anderson Talladega

seeking another term in the house, I assumed my work in state government had ended, but Speaker McCutcheon convinced me to continue serving the citizens of Alabama in this new role,” Tuggle said. “As a former member, I’ll be able to advise new house members with the perspective of someone who has once held the same responsibilities and I will work with the returning members as someone they already know and trust.” Tuggle was twice elected to the House District 81 seat, served as chairman of the House State Government Committee and also held a seat on the House Internal Affairs Committee. For the past eight years, Tuggle served on the prestigious House Ways and Means Education Committee which allocates more than $6 billion in education funding to Alabama’s K-12 public schools, community colleges, and public colleges and universities. A professional forester for more than two decades, Tuggle retired from the Alabama Power Company prior to his house service and later worked as a freelance consultant on forestry and timber matters. He and his wife, Michelle, have one daughter, Dee. Out of an overabundance of caution, McCutcheon secured approval from the Alabama Ethics Commission regarding Tuggle’s appointment to his new post.

need of each family and if they qualify for assistance through the program. “Some of the typical families we get coming in have had some kind of small disaster,” Glassburn said. “They may have had a loss of income due to medical issues, a fire or a weather disaster.” For those who clear the interview process and become part of the program, a paper angel is put on a Christmas tree located at the Salvation Army store on Highway 22. Customers coming into the store can select an angel off the tree, which will have a list of items they can purchase for one of the children in the program. “People can also donate money for the Angel Tree if they want, and we go out and buy the items on the lists,” Glassburn said. “If people want to purchase gifts off of one of the angels, we do ask them not to wrap the items. When we receive the items, we go through them to make sure we know what’s there and can place the gifts with the right children.” Although the number of local families applying for

assistance has declined in recent years, Glassburn said she felt this showed more people throughout the area were not facing as much hardship and did not have to worry as much about where Christmas gifts would come from. “This is one of the things the Salvation Army is most well-known for,” Glassburn said. “The real success of this program is to see big smiles on the kids’ faces on Christmas morning.” As the program has helped an untold number of families over the years, Glassburn said she regularly hears back from those the program has helped, with the families thanking the organization for the help in making the holiday season that much more festive. For any family who may need help with their Christmas and would like to seek assistance through the Angel Tree program, Glassburn said the Salvation Army’s store number is 256-215-3730. “We want to make sure we get the message out,” Glassburn said. “I do believe this is a successful program.”

The Dadeville Record

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might Ă&#x201E;nd the morning tense and possibly even difĂ&#x201E;cult. Do not allow a close associate to push you beyond your limits. Optimism surrounds you. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts for granted. Reach out to a loved one at a distance whom you care a lot about. Tonight: Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes.â&#x20AC;? TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Try as you might, you cannot deny the importance of a key person in your life. Opportunities emerge when you least expect it. An offer that could increase your income needs serious evaluation. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call something a done deal until it really is one. Tonight: Defer to others. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Use the earlier part of the day for routine matters. You could be prone to push someone too hard in an attempt to have him or her see a situation as you do. Remember to respect othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; differences. You can learn a lot from this person. Tonight: Accept an offer that seems too good to be true. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your mind seems to be focused on a situation that could play out in several different ways. No matter how you look at this matter, you see tremendous potential. What is stopping you? Go for what you want, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doubt yourself. Tonight: Play until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too tired to continue. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might sense that someone is aggravated with you. You might be surprised by what you discover if you let your guard down. Not everything in your immediate realm is exactly as you think it is. Do some much-needed research. Tonight: Start the weekend early if you can. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Speak your mind without hesitation. At Ă&#x201E;rst, you might run into some restrictions. A partner could have a sharp tone to his or her voice. Allow your imagination to Ă&#x2026;ourish, and keep your attitude positive. Good luck follows you. Tonight: Stay open-minded and encouraging.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be rightfully concerned over a matter that keeps rearing its ugly head. Let go of your reservations for now. Know that everything will work out just Ă&#x201E;ne. Once you stop worrying, you will feel much better. Your concerns seem to melt away. Tonight: Hang out. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might feel as if you are on top of the world right now. Please note that you have a tendency to go overboard. You might have a close-to-impossible time reining yourself in. Perhaps it would be best if you just let the chips fall where they may. Tonight: Paint the town red. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You enter one of the most signiĂ&#x201E;cant days of the year. Jupiter, the planet associated with abundance, enters your sign and initiates a new 12-year luck cycle. The Ă&#x201E;rst year of this cycle is often unusually lucky. You have reason for celebration. Tonight: Beam in what you want. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A lot is going on behind the scenes, and you seem to be aware of what is happening. You will notice a tendency to land on your feet, no matter what happens. Honor your feelings, but give others the time to spill the beans or share with you Ă&#x201E;rst. Tonight: Play it cool. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Deal with a boss directly. You would be well-advised to pursue a matter of interest as soon as you can. By midafternoon, a group or a one-onone meeting seems to energize you. A friend roots for you to take a risk. Know that follow-through counts. Tonight: In the limelight. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Look past the obvious to see the long-term implications of a certain decision. You know you must come to an understanding with a higher-up. In the next year, you will gain more prestige in your Ă&#x201E;eld. You could be up for a promotion. Tonight: Forward ho!

Tallapoosa County Department of Human Resources director Brenda Floyd speaks at the grand opening for the new building for the Tallapoosa County Department of Human Resources Monday afternoon.

DHR

continued from page 1

DHR was in its former building for 50 years and Buckner was on board for a new building from her first visit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has been a huge supporter of us getting a new building,â&#x20AC;? Tallapoosa County DHR director Brenda Floyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;About three years ago she came by on a Friday afternoon. It was about 4:20 in the afternoon and I was still at work. When she left, she said we are getting a new building.â&#x20AC;? The building has been a group effort designed by Goodwyn Mills and Cawood and built by First Team Construction of Auburn, but it took local officials to make it all happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had the full support of our (county) commission,â&#x20AC;? Floyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cannot tell you how much I appreciate that. Through the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation of a public building authority, we have been able to have the construction of this building take place. They were a key part in this.â&#x20AC;? The need for a new building was first raised in July 2015 and the commissioners began the search for a piece of prop-

erty. After one site was turned down, the focus moved to the Highway 49 parcel. After being given the thumbs-up from the state, the commissioners purchased the property in May 2016. The county commissioners had to set up a Public Building Authority, then secure bonds using the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit rating. In March, the Dadeville City Council rezoned the property so it would be appropriate for a public service building. When all is said and done, the county will actually own the building, but will lease the building back to DHR and the rent paid by the agency would repay the bonds. Floyd believes November is a great time of year to open the new building considering the services DHR provides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an appropriate time to open this building right here at Thanksgiving,â&#x20AC;? Floyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are grateful for it and what we are able to do for the people that will come through the doors here.â&#x20AC;?

Kristen S. Osborne, Esq. awards Horseshoe Bend student Colby Landon Cheaney the DAR Tohopeka Chapter Good Citizen Award for all of Tallapoosa County Wednesday.

DAR recognizes Good Citizen Award winners Wednesday By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

For two years in a row, the winner of the Tallapoosa County Good Citizen Award from the Tohopeka Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution has come from Horseshoe Bend. Colby Landon Cheaney was recognized at a special event of the local DAR chapter Wednesday at the Tallapoosa County Board of Education offices in Dadeville, along with the other school winners from every high school in the county. “It feels awesome to be the winner,” Cheaney said. “All five of us, we’re all really talented. This proves my hard work has been worth it, that I’m moving in the right direction.” Along with Cheaney, the organization recognized Margaret Handley Owens from Benjamin Russell, Amber Noelle Wilson from Dadeville, Morgan Jessica Haley McQuire from Reeltown and Jonathan McLain from Lyman Ward Military Academy as the Good Citizen Award winners from their respective schools. As part of the Good Citizen Award contest, each of the participants had to submit a resume and an essay on a nationally important topic. “My essay topic was, ‘In Future Years, What New Challenges Will Americans Face?,’” Cheaney said. “In it, I talked about cybersecurity, agricultural issues and environmental issues.” Everyone involved with Wednesday’s program believed it was one of the best moments of the year to be a part of. “Students are one of the things I love most about the DAR,” group member and Tallapoosa County Board of Education representative Betty Carol Graham said. “If you have good citizens, you have more opportunities in your community.” Tallapoosa County School Superintendent Joe Windle added,

“This is one of our favorite days. It’s just a joy to have you all here. Students, I want to congratulate each of you.” Along with the presentation of the Tallapoosa County Good Citizen Award, the DAR members heard a national defense report from the group’s National Defense Committee chairwoman Janell Kozak, as well as a few remarks from guest speaker Kristen S. Osborne, Esq. “Veterans Day is a day we set aside to recognize all veterans,” Kozak said. “It was chosen originally to recognize Armistice Day and the end of World War I, which came to an end on the 11th month, the 11th day and the 11th hour.” Kozak added, while the United States has only officially declared war against a foreign power five times, the country has been involved in many more military operations against America’s enemies. At the same time, many technological advances have come out of military think tanks and through military conflicts, including quieter Velcro, the internet, telephone communications and much more. “Really, I’m speaking to the five of you winners,” Osborne said. “There are seven things I have learned and I want to share with you all as you move forward.” Osborne’s seven points included making mistakes and not being ashamed of them, exploring everything, remembering to leave a legacy of the things they did while alive, not being afraid to chase power, communication is everything, take care of themselves and do not give up. As the event wrapped up and guests enjoyed the reception to follow, virtually everyone involved felt the day had been an enjoyable success. “A lot of work goes into our Good Citizen Award contest efforts,” Tohopeka Chapter Regent Peggy Jackson Walls said.

Heroes stepped up to lift Tigers in Athens in 2005

uburn faced fourth down and 10 from its own 34 with just 2:05 remaining. The Tigers trailed Georgia 30-28 and hope was all but lost. Brandon Cox didn’t think so. The senior quarterback from Trussville rocketed a pass across the middle only an Auburn receiver could catch. Devin Aromashodu didn’t think so. Somehow, the speedy receiver found a crease in the Bulldog secondary, hauled in Cox’s pass and raced 63 yards to what appeared to be the winning touchdown. Courtney Taylor didn’t think so. The physical wide receiver followed Aromashodu stepfor-step to the goal line — and pounced on the ball in the end zone just seconds after Aromashodu fumbled at the 1. The ruling: Taylor’s quick action prevented a touchback, and since a team cannot advance a fumble, the ball was spotted at the Georgia 1.

JOE MCADORY Columnist John Vaughn, another excellent kicker in Auburn’s long line of specialists, booted the chipshot field goal on the final play of the game and Auburn left Athens, Georgia, victorious, 31-30. That was 2005 and Auburn hasn’t won Between the Hedges ever since. But whatever became of Auburn’s heroes on that November night at Samford Stadium? Cox isn’t throwing footballs anymore, but he is making an impact in Georgia. He’s the Director of Business Development at Hoar Construction in Atlanta and was previously a commercial leasing associate for the Daniel

Corporation. In other words, he plays a big part in commercial construction projects. “That game will be on TV every now and then and I’ll watch it,” he told me in a 2016 interview for Harbert Magazine. “For some reason my palms get sweaty and I get nervous watching even though I know what’s going to happen. To hush up a crowd of 90,000 people with one play was pretty spectacular.” Aromashodu spent seven seasons in the NFL before settling on a career in banking. The former passcatcher with the long last name is a mortgage broker in Birmingham. Taylor, who holds Auburn’s all-time receptions record with 153, played briefly with the Seattle Seahawks and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2008. That doesn’t stop him from continuing to make an impact. Taylor lives in Kent, Washington, where he

works as a special education paraeducator. The man who kicked Auburn’s final game-winning points in Athens, Vaughn is an award-winning neuroscience sales representative at Vertical Pharmaceuticals in Nashville, Tennessee. There you have it: a developer, a mortgage broker, an educator and a pharmaceutical sales representative. That’s what a college education is all about anyway, right?

The picks

Auburn at Georgia: There was a time when the road team owned this series. Georgia has won the last five meetings on its home soil, while the teams have pretty much split in the battles at Jordan-Hare as of late. This year’s Georgia team isn’t as talented as the one that played Alabama for the national championship, but it’s still extremely formidable as the ranking and record attest.

DeAndre Swift and Elijah Holyfield had to like what they saw from Auburn’s surprisingly porous rush defense against Texas A&M. The Tigers must fix that issue against Georgia if Auburn is to have any chance here. As for the Tiger offense, throw the normal game plan out the window and get crazy. Auburn has nothing here to lose, so why not turn Jarrett Stidham loose and chunk it on every down? Georgia will shut down the run. Georgia 35, Auburn 14. Mississippi State at Alabama: The Tide is vulnerable here only because this game follows the overhyped date with LSU. Also, Alabama is nursing a few injuries. Tide 33, State 7. Joe McAdory is Communications Editor at Auburn University’s Harbert College of Business.
