New Dadeville budget includes raises By Cliff Williams Record Staff Writer

The Dadeville City Council included a five percent raise for city workers when it approved a $2.6 million budget for 20152016 Tuesday evening. “This budget includes a five percent raise for all city employees,” Council Member Randy Foster explained. “It has been six years since the last raise for city employees.” The budget’s $2.6 million in revenue is the same revenue from the previous budget.

Voters reject hike in Still Waters fire district service fee

In the finance committee meeting, members Mickey Tarpley and Randy Foster along with Mayor Joe Smith and City Clerk Mike Gardner explained that with the reopening of Piggly Wiggly they hope revenue will remain the same or better. “If we are able to find some additional revenues, we will need to set those aside to cover projects like the courthouse square project,” Gardner said. The project will need matching funds from the city in the neighborhood of $80,000. In addition to the raise for city employees

the budget gives some relief to some city employees. “This budget includes some monies for part time help in the cemetery, parks and recreation and the fire department,” Foster said. “The cemetery and parks and recreation would mainly be spring and summer help and the fire department would be year around.” It was not easy to get the employees’ raises and the part-time help. “It took some manipulating to get the numbers to work out,” Foster said. Discussions in the finance committee

went back and forth between a three and five percent raise with the five percent raise including no purchases of vehicles for the city. The budget passed and the copy provided to The Record has no new vehicles in the budget. Foster was especially proud of the budget. “I have been on the council for 11 years,” Foster said. “This is the first time we have approved the budget before Oct. 1 in that time. In the past, we have always been a week or two after the first in passing the budget.”

Voters said no to an increase in the fire service fee in Tuesday’s special election in the Stillwaters Volunteer Fire and Rescue District by a vote of 214 to 203. Turnout was good for the special election. “We had over 40 percent of the approximately 960 voters turn out which is real good I think,” Tallapoosa County Probate Judge Leon Archer said. “A general election normally sees about 40 percent turnout.” Stan Gillies is pleased to see the matter defeated. “There are a lot of people beyond the gates of Stillwaters that cannot afford this increase,” Gillies said. According to the Tallapoosa County Probate Judge’s office, any registered voter living in the district could vote on the matter. Voters could be both renters and property owners they just have to be registered voters. The issue of increasing the fee has been debated in the department for the last few years. Posts on the department’s Facebook page say the matter has been brought up at the last two annual meetings of the department and that costs of running the See FIRE, Page A5

County Administrator Blake Beck explains the fine points of the new budget.

The Tallapoosa County Commissioners unanimously approved a $14.5 million budget Wednesday morning that relies on about $900,000 to meet spending demands. Included in the budget is a mild increase for a new community corrections program that is expected to not only fund itself, but possibly add additional revenue over time. There are no cost of living pay increases for county employees included,

but $55,000 in merit increases were budgeted. “Over the last seven or eight years, local, city, county and state budgets have had some very serious funding cuts,” Beck said. “Those cuts have had a very serious impact on many of those employees in those areas. We’ve been fortunate that we haven’t had to that in the county. We’ve been able to provide the same services that we always have and we’ve maintained the same benefits as far as insurance that we have over that time. See COUNTY, Page A3

“We’ve seen some increases, about 7 percent, in health insurance again this year. We’ve been able to give cost of living increases every year but one in the last five or six years. So even though it’s not all that we would like to do, we feel good about being where we are in terms of the budget.” Beck said that one of the biggest challenges is the county’s level of debt service. The bonds owed will again force the county to use about $100,000 from reserves to pay those debts this year. “We are in a situation where some of those debts will be paid down over the next two or three years and that will help when that happens,” Beck said. “But we are in a far better place than where we were seven or eight years ago. We’ve done that by paying our debts and not borrowing any more. It’s not real sophisticated, but we are getting to a better place and there is some light at the end of the tunnel.” Commission Chairman Steve Robinson praised the county employees for maintaining a hard line on spending and working to keep the

budget lean. “Whether it is on a school board, a private business or here in county government, we are all being called on to do more with less,” Robinson said. “So it calls for us to be good stewards of the money we have, but it also means that we have to be more innovative and efficient. I’d like to commend Blake Beck, his staff and all of our department heads and county employees for answering the challenge. You look at this budget and you realize that we are in much better shape than many counties across the state.” The commissioners also approved a resolution that will make Tallapoosa County Emergency Management Agency Director Jason Moran the county’s safety coordinator. He will be responsible for safety compliance in the county operations, which could result in saving on the county’s insurance rates. It was also announced that the Tallapoosa County Courthouse in Dadeville will be closed on Oct. 12 in observance of Columbus Day.

Party

continued from page 1

Sheriff Jimmy Abbett said that seven adults and 10 minors were all cited for being minors in consumption of alcohol. “We got a complaint at about 11:35 p.m. Friday regarding a house party in that area,” Abbett said. “Officers observed several people who appeared to be under the legal age drinking. “We have a protocol that we follow in those situations. Those who are 18 and older are arrested and taken to jail where they are offered a bond. The parents of the juveniles who are accused are contacted and they can be released into their custody.” Abbett said that the ages of those cited ranged from 15 to 19. In all two teens age 15, six age 16 and two age 17, four age 18 and three age 19. Abbett said that the owner of the lake house where the party was held was unaware of the gathering. He said that those cited were from areas all across the county and was unsure if it was related to the Tallassee-Dadeville football game that was held on Friday. “I know it is impossible for a parent to know everything that a child is doing, but they need to have an open and frank discussion about alcohol and the consequences that are possible when they make

an adult decision,” Abbett said. “They may not understand it today, but they were fortunate that we did come. Had someone left that party impaired we could have had a much more tragic set of circumstances unfold.” The names of the juveniles charged were not released, but he adults who were arrested were: • Morgan Hutchinson of Lake Point Circle was arrested for minor in consumption of alcohol. • Brockton Wallace of Redland Road in Tallassee was arrested for minor in consumption of alcohol. • Jacob Burke of 13th Avenue North in Alexander City was arrested for minor in consumption of alcohol. • James Isbell of Clay Street in Tallassee was arrested for minor in consumption of alcohol. • Christopher Dean of Hunters Ridge in Tallassee was arrested for minor in consumption of alcohol. • Jacob Ware of Johnson Street in Tallassee was arrested for minor in consumption of alcohol. • Brett Giddens of Wind Creek Farms Road in Alexander City was arrested for minor in consumption of alcohol.

Talk of Wind Creek additions is encouraging

he potential of additions at Wind Creek State Park to create a firstclass conference center is exciting

news. And now that both our Tallapoosa County Commission and Alexander City Council have thrown their support behind the effort, we hope Alexander City and Tallapoosa County residents will give it their full-fledged support as well. We feel comfortable that conference accommodations, a 250-room hotel, an 18-hole golf course and other recreational additions would turn Wind Creek – already one of the biggest engines for the area’s economy – into one of the most desirable conference locations in the state for corporations and other groups. As an added bonus, it would likely expose countless individuals who might not otherwise experience the Lake Martin area to all it has to offer, bringing them back again and again with their families and other groups to one of the true recreational jewels of the South. We sincerely hope that all the necessary parties can come to the table to make the Wind Creek conference center happen sooner rather than later. This project is yet another that the Alexander City-Tallapoosa County area needs to help establish it as bona fide destination for both tourists and business groups needing time away from their offices either to plan or just take a much-deserved few days’ break. Yet as much as we’d like to see the project happen quickly, we want something the area will be proud of. We want a tastefully designed, well-constructed and well-planned destination that offers everything visitors to a full-service resort at a beautiful location like Lake Martin would expect. This proposal comes on the heels of word earlier this year that a zipline attraction is planned in the near future at Wind Creek State Park. It is still unclear what cuts to the state parks budget in the recently passed state budget will have on the parks, but we hope that the direction will continue to be forward thinking rather than stuck in neutral or being shifted to reverse. After all, as our most precious natural resource in the area, Lake Martin deserves only the best. We trust that those working to bring this proposal to fruition agree. And we trust that all of our readers see the value such a project would add to the area, both through economics and reputation. We ask that you join us and advocate for this project in any and all ways you can.

Editorial Our I am amazed that I have made the speed limit Mission

omorrow, I will hit the speed limit. Fifty-five years

old! It’s a wonder that I’ve made it this far. Born prematurely, ugly all my life, a non-athlete. All I had going for me this whole time were my smarts. And some folks would debate that. But seriously, what brought me this far – through all the poor decisions and tough times – is simple. Love. My parents, both humble teachers with picket-fence dreams, saw those dreams come true and, in the meantime, had three kids that all turned out pretty darned decent. In fact, I’m the one that screwed the family tradition up. My sister and brother, both older, also became teachers. But me? I had to write. And I was encouraged to write. In fact, I was encouraged to do anything and everything wholesome that I chose to do. That’s the kind of people my parents were. I lost my Dad four years ago. He was perhaps the hardestworking man I’ve known. My Mom still lives in the family home and still gives her three kids what she can. Mostly love. And she loves hard and unconditionally.

DAVID GRANGER Staff Writer

But there’s one person who has really made a difference in my life. She’s the one who flagged me off a bad road onto a much smoother one. We “met” in our 30s. Both had a failed marriage behind us. Each of us had a young son. We had actually met years before, in high school. We graduated in the same class, hung with the same crowd, were friends, but never dated (Although there is the one picture in a yearbook where I apparently escorted her at a Harvest Queen Festival, though neither of us recalls it.). But chance brought us across each other’s path some 15 or so years later and I fell in love with her. I can remember the moment. The exact moment. We were in the car headed out on a date and she looked over at me and smiled. My heart waved its white flag. We were married not too long after that and we’ve created our own little blended family. Not without problems, mind you. There were tough times that required tough love. Others that required

understanding. But we made it and now our sons are happily married, have careers, lovely wives and beautiful children – all boys! – of their own. Put another way, we’ve a lot to be thankful for. But I have more. Frankly, I haven’t always been the best husband. In fact, sometimes I’ve been downright wrong, taken my wife, the greatest gift God has ever given me, for granted. But what does my wife do? She does what only she could do. She loves me. Believe me when I say that there were times when I could have been a statistic. Believe me when I say that I have flirted with many ugly things in my life. But, more than anything, believe me when I say that I have a wife who has led me away from all that, always forgiven my many shortcomings and to whom I owe a much greater debt than I could ever repay. Yes, I turn 55 on Sunday. I don’t want a party and I certainly don’t want gifts. My life and the people in it – especially my wife, Lynn – are the greatest gifts I could ever receive.

Good things come to those who wait

ood things come to those who wait is a phrase praising the virtue of patience. For example, I waited all summer for the season premiere of NCIS to see what would happen with Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs after he was shot on the season finale, and I was not disappointed. It was a great episode and well worth the wait. Construction always seems to take forever. I believe the widening of Frederick Road in my hometown of Opelika began just after the Civil War. Perhaps I’m a bit off on the start date, but it did take a while. I think everyone agrees that it was well worth the wait. The other night I bought a ribeye that was marked down to half-price due to its sell-by date rapidly approaching. I quickly placed it into my basket and wanted to eat it that night but decided to let it marinate overnight, and, believe you me, it was well worth the wait. The good news is that I left it on the grill just long enough to cook the bloody moo out of it, which only took about five minutes on each side. I like it bright pink

JODY FULLER Columnist

but not bloody. Anything beyond that, you’ve waited too long. I’ve been waiting on a used washer and dryer for almost two months now. I thought I’d have it much sooner, but that just didn’t happen, and that’s ok. I spent several days at the laundromat just down the road. It’s so close that I wouldn’t stay there for my clothes to wash. I’d just run back up there and put them in the dryer. I actually enjoyed going up there, too. I talked to a lot of nice people, and it reminded me a lot of my childhood. My granddad, you see, owned a washateria in Dadeville. I spent many days in that hot facility with Bugles from the vending machine on my fingers like claws. Sadly, the laundromat here doesn’t have Bugles. For y’all from north of the Mason-Dixon Line, a washateria is a southern alternate name for laundro-

mat. As a person who stutters, I can say that our number one pet peeve is when someone finishes our sentences for us. We have something to say, so please be patient, and it will most likely be well worth your wait, besides it’s just the polite and respectable thing to do. We are in such a fastpaced society and nobody wants to wait for anything. We expect everything immediately. In some instances, it’s a good thing. When we order something online, we get it in just a few days. When I was a kid, it took eight weeks to receive an order in the mail. I don’t know how my Sea Monkeys survived the trip, but it taught me patience, and I wouldn’t trade that for all the monkeys in the sea. Right now, I’m waiting on Auburn to turn start winning again. It’s a good thing I have patience. Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq. He is also a lifetime stutterer. He can be reached at jody@jodyfuller.com.

Reeltown student wins Go Build America award Staff Report The Record

Go Build Alabama, an initiative of the Alabama Construction Recruitment Institute (ACRI), awarded Reeltown High School Senior Hunter Waites with the Go Build Alabama Future Skilled Workers of America (FSWA) Award for September 2015. Described by those around him as an excellent student with big ambitions, Waites possesses a high degree of maturity for someone his age. While at Reeltown, he has capitalized on the opportunity to advance his skills as a welder, and is enrolled in the dual enrollment program with the Edward Bell Career Technical Center in Camp Hill. Following high school, Waites plans to attend Southern Union State Community College where he will continue his education and training in the trade. “I enjoy welding,” said Waites. “There’s something uniquely special about working with my hands

to create something honest and useful. It’s what I want to do.” In receiving the award, Waites became the first student named as the FSWA Student of the Month in the 2015- 2016 school year. The award also makes him eligible to receive a $1,000 scholarship to advance his training as a welder after graduating high school. Through the FSWA Student of the Month program, Go Build Alabama is able to recognize outstanding high school students throughout the state who demonstrate an interest and aptitude in the skilled trades.

nominate students for the Go Build Alabama Future Skilled Workers of America Award. Nominations are accepted throughout the year. To be eligible, students must be juniors or seniors with a demonstrated interest in construction careers. They must also either be enrolled in, or have been enrolled in, technical courses related to the skilled labor industry, and have plans to continue their training and education in the construction trades upon graduation. Visit www.gobuildalabama.com to download a nomination form. ACRI launched the Go Build campaign in August of 2010 in an effort to address the issue of worker shortage in the construction trades. One third of all skilled tradesmen are over the age of 50 and with their retirement on the horizon training programs are not producing a sufficient number of young workers to replace the number retiring. Go Build Alabama aims to recruit the next generation of skilled construction trade workers.

department’s ambulance have gone up. According to the posts, the rising costs are from the department having to staff the ambulance with a qualified paramedic and driver 24/7 with costs expected to rise as the department pays its paramedic on duty and says it will soon have to pay the driver when the state mandates the driver must be an EMT. The campaign had been bitter at times. Callers to the newspapers said that they had signs opposing the increase moved, stolen or damaged in the days leading up to the vote. A sign at the old entrance to Stillwaters appeared to have been cut down Tuesday morning. Calls to the Stillwaters Volunteer Fire Department seeking comment were not returned.

A REFUGE FOR THE HOMELESS

Buddy’s Barn Building Project will be to concrete our 120’x41’ barn area where the majority of our dogs live getting them up and out of the dirt. This will make it easier to clean and sanitize, making their stay with us better. We kindly ask for your gifts of support and to help us make this dream come true for our dogs. Our goal is $15,000. Each dollar raised will be matched.

Wind Creek remains open but will see increase in day fees and slip rental By David Granger Record Staff Writer

Though Wind Creek State Park escaped the Alabama State Parks System’s closure list, it may see some increases in fees, according to a Wednesday release from the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. In addition to closure of five parks and reduction in operations at several more, ADCNR also announced on Wednesday additional revenue options to be implemented in October, some of which may affect Wind Creek, including: • Increased day fees at parks will from $4

per adult to $5 per adult (smaller parks with fewer amenities may receive a different fee structure); • An eight percent increase on select base lodging rates, coupled with a new 5 percent discount for Alabama residents; • Increased marina slip rental fees; • A new resort fee to address resort maintenance costs not directly tied to other fee structures; • A new park pass program to capture the present unrealized day-use revenue in ungated parks; and • A new backcountry permit to attend to trails and related backcountry recreational services/pro-

grams. The five state parks that are slated for closing Oct. 15 are Bladon Springs in Choctaw County, Paul Grist near Selma, Chickasaw in Marengo County, Florala in Covington County and Roland Cooper near Camden. “It is with great disappointment that we have to make this announcement today,” said Gunter Guy, Commissioner of Alabama’s Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. “Due to these recurring administrative transfers by the legislature from our department and the impact they’re having on our state parks

Closures

system’s budget, we are having to make some very difficult decisions to offset the loss of revenue. These five parks were selected for closure because they have consistently lost money over the past several years. However, the Alabama State Park system is important to the majority of the people in this state and I hope that we can find a solution to this budget issue by the next legislative session.” In addition to the closure of five parks, a number of parks and park facilities will reduce staff and operational hours. Rickwood Caverns and Blue Springs will be closed during fall and win-

renewed in Dadeville at the probate office in the county courthouse. “It is very sad news,” Archer said. “I want to stress that this doesn’t mean that you can’t get your license renewed much the same as you always have. We will still handle that through the probate office. But what this does mean is that if you have a teen who is getting licensed for the first time or have to get a new license after coming from out of state, you will have to travel. “This is just very disturbing that people are going to have to travel that distance. It’s just a shame that it has come to this.” Archer said that officials stressed that if you must go to another office, it’s important to make an appointment to reserve time. The closures of the driver license offices are the results of the state Legislature’s cuts to the ALEA budget for fiscal year 2016. However, the legislature did include language in the general fund bill that read, “It is further

the intent of the Legislature that all driver license offices and trooper posts in operation at the beginning of fiscal year 2015 remain in operation during fiscal year 2016 and that any reductions in force implemented by the agency in fiscal year 2016 focus on areas of operation not directly impacting services to customers.” Gov. Robert Bentley, citing encroachment by the legislature on his executive role, has asked the Alabama Supreme Court to review the constitutionality of that legislative directive. ALEA will now allocate all of its driver license personnel to district driver license offices throughout the state, according to state Secretary of Law Enforcement Spencer Collier. “Throughout the 2015 Legislative sessions, we communicated our concerns … by addressing the ongoing shortage of driver license division personnel created by past budgets and our ability to meet the needs of citizens should additional cuts be imposed,” said

Collier. “Additionally, we took a proactive approach to solve a decade-old funding issue with the driver license division’s operations by increasing the cost of the driver license to recoup a portion of the cost it takes to actually produce the license. The Legislature then reduced ALEA’s General Fund appropriation by the projected recoupment revenue thereby negating the proactive steps taken by the agency. “We appreciate the support of those legislators that have helped our agency and strive to provide the most efficient use of the taxpayer’s dollars. With the new budget cuts passed

by the Alabama Legislature for fiscal year 2016, and with our limited personnel … driver license examiners will be utilized to staff district driver license offices full-time and will no longer provide staffing to these 31 county-owned, satellite locations.” In August, ALEA’s Collier floated a plan for phased closure of driver license offices that would have closed all driver license offices except those in Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery and Mobile on March 1. However, according to Sgt. Steve Jarrett, a spokesman for ALEA, that phased approach is no longer being considered.

ter. Desoto and Cheaha Lodge & Restaurant will operate on weekends only during fall and winter. The system will try to find a concessionaire to operate Lakepoint’s golf course. If it can’t, the golf course will be closed. Finally, Bucks Pocket’s campground will be closed and the park transitioned to an unmanned, day-use only park to be managed by a nearby resort park. “Closing parks, reducing operations and laying off staff was something we hoped we could avoid,” said Greg Lein, Director

HOME SWEET HOME

Tigers hope to bounce back with homecoming win over Munford By Robert Hudson Record Sports Editor

After a 28-22 non-region loss to Tallassee, the Dadeville Tigers will try to get back in the win column as they enter the most important part of their season. The Tigers (3-2, 2-0 in Class 4A-Region 3) will host the Munford Lions (3-3, 1-2 in Class 4A-Region 3) on Friday at 7 p.m. in Dadeville. The Tigers will have to move forward with a new quarterback, as senior ShawnDarius Jennings is out for the season after fracturing his kneecap against Tallassee. Dadeville Coach Richard White said the Tigers will go ahead with a dynamic athlete in Margarius “Scooter” Buchanan behind center. “We’ve just got to get our new quarterback ready and get some things done based around what he does positively,” White said. “He did a great job in the second half when ShawnD went down in the fourth quarter. He led us to two scoring drives, so there were a lot of positives there. Scooter is a winner. Margarius is a winner and he wants the ball in his hands. He just gives us a different dynamic at quarterback with the things that he can do.” Munford enters Friday’s game coming off a 42-28 non-region win over Lincoln. White said the Lions have a highpowered offense and that the Tigers cannot take plays off like they did last week. “Munford is a very good football team. Offensively, they’re tough,” White said. “They’re scoring about 40 points a game, so we’ve got to be able to play a lot better defense

than we did last Friday. We’ve got to tackle better and pursue the football. We didn’t do a good job of that on Friday night. We kind of loafed a lot.” In order to right the ship and take control of their postseason destiny, White said the objective is simple: win. “We’re going to have to win some

ballgames,” White said. “Munford is in a do-or-die-situation. They have two losses in the region and they’re coming in here knowing they can’t afford another loss. Our kids are going to have to step up to the challenge and we’ve got to figure out a way to win a football game. It’s just as simple as that.”

The Dadeville Tigers will have to continue the 2015 season without one of their most important players. Dadeville Coach Richard White confirmed that senior quarterback/safety ShawnDarius Jennings will miss the remainder of the 2015 season after fracturing his kneecap during Friday’s 28-22 loss at Tallassee. “ShawnD is having surgery in the morning (Tuesday) at St. Vincent’s Hospital,” White said. “He’s got a fractured kneecap and he’s done for the season.” Jennings, a University of Alabama commit at safety, was named second team All-State as an athlete for Class 4A by the Alabama Sports Writers Association in 2014. The 6’2, 217-pound Jennings is rated a three-star prospect by recruiting outlet Rivals.com, landing him at No. 15 in the state on Rivals’ Alabama Spring Top 25 players list. Jennings is also rated as the No. 1 safety in the state of Alabama and a three-star prospect by Scout.com. “Surgery is tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. Thanks for all the prayers,” the senior tweeted out on Monday. As for the Tigers, White said they will move forward with junior Margarius Buchanan under center.

Dadeville falls to Tallassee on the road By Willie Moseley The Tallassee Tribune

Members of the Tallassee High School Class of 1996 have some happy 20th reunion memories to take home, particularly since their alma mater topped the alwaystough Dadeville squad in a hardfought contest. Both teams share the “Tigers” nickname, and Tallassee’s “den” proved to be inhospitable to the visitors from the northeast Tallapoosa County. Dadeville came into the contest with a 4-1 record, and was ranked in the Alabama 4A top ten, while Tallassee, one of the smaller 5A schools in the state, was 3-2. The home team received the opening kickoff, and was driving when a pass went off the fingertips of Brady Hancock and was intercepted. DHS couldn’t get a drive going, and punted. Tallassee then drove for their first score, sparked by a 54-yard scramble by quarterback Will Peters to the Dadeville five-yard line. From there, running back Teddy Brooks took the pigskin into the end one off-tackle at the 3:31 mark. The extra point attempt was no good. Tallassee’s defense was up for the challenge of containing Dadeville’s highly-rated quarterback Shawn Jennings, and frustrated the visitors’ signal-caller all night, as exemplified by five sacks and a Felix Kennebrew interception late in the first quarter. The home Tigers team put on an impressive drive early in the second period, capped by Brooks’ run for the score, which was similar to his first touchdown. THS failed to convert for two on this touchdown as well. Dadeville mounted its own push that saw Jennings crossing the goal line, but the TD was called back due to a penalty. The visiting Tigers finally tallied a score with a pass from Jennings to Tyreke Stone at the 6:51

mark. A two-point conversion was good, but penalties on other drives would slow or stymie Dadeville’s efforts for most of the night. Later in the second quarter, Tallassee’s Jamarcus Miller intercepted a pass and returned it to the Dadeville 23, but THS couldn’t cross the goal line. The teams went into their locker rooms with Tallassee leading 12-8. Turnovers plagued the visitors in the second half as well. Early in the third session, a tipped pass was intercepted by Tallassee’s Nic Talley. Strong running by Brooks and Casey Baynes resulted in a score by Kiwanis Woods at the 8:11 mark. This time the conversion for two was good, and THS was up 20-8. Dadeville began working in other players such as Margarius Buchanan and Kadore Glenn at the signal-calling position in addition to Jennings, who was called for intentional grounding and was also sacked by Jake Baker. Most attendees would probably contend that the game’s most memorable play happened in the fourth quarter, when Jennings was hit behind the lines by Talley. As the ball went spinning wildly out of his hand, THS senior Jeremy Noah picked up the errant pigskin, and using his teammates’ blocking, barreled 60 yards for a touchdown with 8:07 left in the game. Jennings was injured on the play, and did not return to action after he was helped off the field. Tallassee’s conversion was

good, giving them a 28-8 lead, but Dadeville wasn’t finished. A drive for a TD at 6:29 (no conversion) brought the score to 28-14, and the recovery of a THS fumble at the DHS 40 yard line with less than two minutes left yielded a score by Buchanan with 14.4 seconds left. The two-point tally made the home team’s margin 28-22, but Tallassee recovered the expected onside kick and ran out the clock. After a raucous celebration in his team’s locker room, Tallassee head coach Mike Battles Jr. noted that his team had done exactly what it had to do to win against a traditional rival like Dadeville, which, in the 2015 contest, was to control the ball on offense, and contain Jennings on defense. “Putting in game plans is easy,” the THS coach said. “Getting your kids to believe and execute the plans to perfection is very difficult, and our kids were close to perfection tonight. Even when (Dadeville) hit a play or two, we stuck with the game plan.” Battles said that his coaching staff “made a couple of twitches at halftime, but we knew what we were up against – (Dadeville was) very athletic, very fast and big, and there was no room for error.” The THS skipper praised his offense’s efforts by emphasizing “We blocked well, and did just enough. Of course, our defense put us in some good positions with sacks and causing fumbles. The kids played a full 48 minutes. It went down to recovering an onside kick with 14 seconds left, and that’s how Dadeville-Tallassee games go. My hat’s off to the assistant coaches and the players.” Preliminary statistics indicated that Brooks was Tallassee leading rusher with 122 net yards on 20 carries, while Woods took second in the yardage tally with 43 yards.

Rebels seek to ride momentum to win over Ranburne By Willie Moseley The Tallassee Tribune

The image of the (2A) Reeltown Rebels’ head football coach Jackie O’Neal on the cover of last weekend’s Sports Extra pretty much said it all—the veteran RHS skipper was running onto the field with his arms raised in victory, and a big grin on his face. O’Neal’s exuberance followed his team’s 53-42 triumph over 4A Elmore County High School, which included six touchdowns by senior running back Cody Martin. Of the three non-conference games that 2A-Class RHS has played against 4A-Class teams in 2015, the Rebels won two. However, the Rebels (3-2) must turn around this week and concentrate on several consecutive area contests. “A come-from-behind win like that showed us how our kids can execute,” O’Neal said on Monday, “but that was a non-region game, and we’ve now got four region games in a row.” The Tallapoosa County Schools system had Monday off, but the Rebels squad practiced. The first of the quartet of area contests will be this Friday at Ranburne, located east of Heflin in Cleburne County, near the Georgia state line. The Bulldogs are the furthest opponent from Reeltown in their 2A region, and currently sport a 4-1 record, including a ten-point win over LaFayette, which defeated Reeltown earlier in the season. O’Neal noted that Ranburne’s quarterback, Dylan Wiggins, is the focal point of the Rebels’ defensive preparation. Wiggins is a 6-1, 185-pound senior. “They’re going to be running a spread, and he does a good job of controlling the ball,” said O’Neal, “particularly on pass plays. He moves around well in the backfield until his receivers get open.” The game begins at 7 p.m. on Friday.

The Dadeville Record

The $1.7 billion state budget is patched together and bare-bones T he State of Alabama fiscal year begins this week and we finally have a budget for the year. Constitutionally, the only mandatory requirement that the Legislature has each year in their legislative session is to pass the budgets. The Education budget was approved during the four-month regular session, but it was uncertain if we would have a budget for

the beleaguered general fund. Gov. Robert Bentley called a special session in early summer to pass a budget. However, despite costing taxpayers around $400,000, there was still no budget.

Therefore, Bentley called yet another special session for September. The third time was a charm. A budget was passed with only two weeks to go until the fiscal year begins this Thursday. It is uncertain what would have happened if the legislature had failed on its third try. Most people assumed the state would have simply closed down. The governor and Legislature avoided a total shut down of State government. However, most state agencies and most state workers would argue that the recently passed budget partially shuts down state operations. It is indeed a patched together, bare-bones budget. The $1.7 billion general fund budget level funds the major departments of Medicaid, Corrections, Mental Health, Human Resources, Pardons and Paroles and the Court system. Most other state agencies saw cuts of between 5 to 10 percent from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget. In the end, the legislature cobbled a budget together by taking $80 million dollars out of the education coffers and

also passing a 25-centsper-pack increase on cigarettes, which will raise another $70 million dollars. Therefore, the general fund is receiving around $150 million in additional funding. Gov. Bentley began the year proposing a hodge podge of tax increases totaling $720 million dollars of new money for the general fund. He later pared that down to $540 million dollars in proposals. The Legislature quickly and decisively made it clear to our old doctor governor that they were real Republicans and they did not want any part of new tax revenue. They sent Bentley a message that they adhered to the cardinal Rule of Republicanism, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No New Taxes.â&#x20AC;? It also was made apparent to the administration that the governor might propose, but the Legislature disposes when it comes to appropriating state dollars. In the end, however, the Legislature did adopt $150 million of the $540 million proposed by the governor in February. As the final special session began, it was generally bounced about that

$200 million dollars was the amount needed to keep state government at least afloat for another year. Even though the large agencies like Medicaid and Prisons were level funded, they said rising costs could still affect basic services. This budget keeps prison capacity in the state at 200 percent. The federal courts took over California prisons at less than 150 percent of capacity. The Alabama Department of Environmental Management was emaciated. Its budget was reduced from $1.2 million to $280,000, a 77 percent cut. Their director indicated that they would make up their deficit by raising fees on permits by 20 percent. The Department of Senior Services and the Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office were especially hit hard. Most insiders believe the attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget has been targeted the past two years because Attorney General Luther Strangeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office is prosecuting House Speaker Mike Hubbard. The real loser in the General Fund battle is public education. For over three decades, from the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to 1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, education dollars were sacred. Paul Hubbert and his AEA were so

powerful and dominant that he would have never allowed the Legislature to rob $80 million from the educators to balance the general fund budget. When the Republicans took control of the Legislature in 2010, they made it their mission to dismantle and destroy the AEA. They accomplished their mission in four short years. Therefore, it was an easy prey to simply take education money to resolve this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dilemma. This budget is only a short-term fix. There were no long-term solutions addressed. The general fund budget will need another transfusion next year, but for now the legislature has found an easy solution â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just take it from education. The AEA has no political clout or power anymore. In fact, the AEA has been so decimated they do not even have a PAC. Let the fiscal year begin. The next regular session is only four months away. See you next week.

Fast-tracked disability now has 200 conditions

ith the addition of 35 new Compassionate Allowances conditions involving cancers and rare diseases, there are now a total of 200 disabling conditions that qualify for Social Security’s expedited disability process. The Compassionate Allowances initiative fast-tracks disability decisions to ensure that Americans with the most serious disabilities receive their benefit decisions within days instead of months or years. In addition to increasing the list of eligible conditions, the agency has achieved another milestone. Since October 2008, nearly 200,000 people with severe disabilities nationwide have been quickly approved using the expedited process. Compassionate Allowances allow us to quickly identify diseases and other medical conditions that, by definition, meet Social Security’s standards for disability benefits. These condi-

KYLLE’D. MCKINNEY Alabama Social Security

tions primarily include certain cancers, adult brain disorders, and a number of rare disorders that affect children. Compassionate Allowances permit Social Security to target the most clearly disabled individuals for medical approvals based on objective medical information that we can obtain quickly. Using the Compassionate Allowances criteria, most cases can be medically approved in less than two weeks. Compassionate Allowances conditions are added as a result of information received at public outreach hearings, comments from the Social Security and Disability Determination Service communities, input from medical and scientific experts,

and research from the National Institutes of Health. We also consider which conditions are most likely to meet our current definition of disability. For more information about Compassionate Allowances, including a full list of qualifying conditions, please visit www. socialsecurity.gov/compassionateallowances. Kylle’ D. McKinney is a public affairs specialist with Alabama Social Security.

Ben’s sermon was great, with scriptures from the books of Numbers 11 and Mark 9. Do you know why the book is named “Numbers”? Because the Lord asked Moses to count the people and so he did. Therefore, the book is named “Numbers”. Rev. Ben commented that this past week was quite memorable for us all: Yogi Bear died, and Pope Francis visited! Yogi was a beloved man whose witticisms were enjoyed by all. USA Today printed many Yogi comments, including the one when he said: “I never said many of the things I said.” Pope Francis’s many visits and religious services were well televised and enjoyed by thousands. He is truly a man of God, beloved by many. By what means do WE preach the gospel? When we serve at Loaves & Fishes to feed the hungry, work with and give to the residents of the Girls Ranch, give school supplies to the Presbyterian Children’s Home, etc. THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Enjoy Life. It has an expiration date!
