Resident finds missing woman near woods Monday By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

The search for Kristin Noel Fuller, 28, of Alexander City is over. Fuller was found by a passerby on Monday afternoon around 4:45 p.m. coming out of the woods on Barrett Road just south and east of where it intersects Kerley Patten Road. Alexander City resident Scott Simmons went to school with Fuller and was a passenger in a vehicle traveling Barrett Road going home from work at about 4:30 p.m.

Sex abuse trial resumes today

“I saw her right in my peripheral (vision) in the woods coming out. She made it right there,” Simmons said pointing to the spot where Fuller was exiting the woods. “We stopped just up at the curve. My ride left me. I said I am not leaving her. He said, (he) had to go. I said go. He said, ‘the tire was going flat.’” Simmons was happy to have spotted Fuller when he did. “I am glad I seen her,” he said. “I was running to her. She just collapsed. She was tired, scratched up everywhere.” See MISSING • Page 3

OKTOBERFEST

2013 case finally gets to be heard by jury

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

More witnesses are expected today as the trial of Willard Thornton continues. Thornton was charged in July 2013 with sodomy and sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12. Thornton was 62 at the time of the report and the alleged victim is known to the defendant. Assistant district attorney Kevin Hall laid out the state’s case in his opening statement to the jury stating the victim disclosed details to a forensic interviewer. “(He) licked my monkey,” Hall said the victim said. “And a few days after the original incident he touched (the victim’s) breast, buttocks and vaginal area.” The child victim made disclosures to family who reported the alleged abuse to the Department of Human Resources who in turn reported it the Alexander City Police Department.

The Alexander City City Council approved contracts for more sewer work Monday night. “I make the motion we keep things flowing the right direction,” council member Bobby Tapley said of the sewer work. The work will be completed through two contracts – one for up to $535,000 worth of work, while the other is for up to $150,000. The work will involve major cleaning, root removal and the relining of sewer lines and manholes in parts of the city. The council also approved a change order on projects at the T.C. Russell Airport. With one project coming in under budget by about $33,000 due to less rock being found, the change authorizes the funds to be spent on some lighting. At the airport, the council also approved filing a pre-application for state

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating my boyfriend just over a year. We live and work together, which I enjoy. He, on the other hand, expressed from Day 1 that all he asks for out of our relationship is “space.” I’m fine with that, but now it seems he needs more and more space. (An example: Spending nights at friends’ because they go out drinking on the weekends.) I have told him I think it’s selfish because weekends are the only free time both of us have together. And lately, it has become a few weekends out of the month. My friends and family think it’s bordering on inappropriate because when you’re in a relationship, you want to spend time with the person you love. I’m at a crossroads. Part of me understands where he’s coming from; another part of me thinks it’s a copout. I’m wondering if I should

DEAR ABBY Advice

put up with it for now until we find separate jobs (if that will even solve the problem) or if I should kick him to the curb. Advice? -- MATTER OF SPACE IN FLORIDA DEAR MATTER OF SPACE: A man whose idea of a good time is going out drinking with his buddies to the point that he can’t make it home isn’t ready for an exclusive relationship. While I don’t advise “kicking him to the curb,” if your idea of a satisfying relationship is spending weekends enjoying each other’s company, tell him you need more than he’s prepared to give you and it would be better if one of you moved out.

DEAR ABBY: My wife has fibromyalgia and Behcet’s disease, an autoimmune disorder. We also have a 5-year-old daughter with special needs. My wife constantly complains about how much pain she’s in as she spends most of her days smoking and playing on her phone. She refuses to exercise and flits from doctor to doctor trying different pills and homeopathic remedies. I’m in the military. I work full time and go to college full time. I take care of the cooking and cleaning around the house. She has gained a tremendous amount of weight, and I am no longer physically attracted to her. I’m also beginning to feel like her illnesses are an excuse to take advantage of me. If I hear, “You promised to love me ‘in sickness and in health’” one more time, I’ll explode. I feel trapped and I want to run.

What do I do? -- FEELING DOWN IN DELAWARE DEAR FEELING DOWN: You are carrying a heavy load. But as tempting as it may seem, running away won’t make your problems disappear. You have a child who needs you and a wife who is legitimately sick. It’s time to explore what services may be available to you and your family through the military. A good place to start would be www.militaryonesource.mil. It is a 24/7 support resource for the military community that offers, among other things, face-to-face nonmedical counseling.

Trial Thornton is represented by Ken Wright. Wright told the jury in his opening statement the timeline of when the abuse was reported did not add up. Wright did admit to the jury upfront Thornton was not the straightest arrow in the quiver. “He is a rogue,” Wright said. “He is a ladies’ man and it has gotten him in trouble.” Case agent Erin McWaters testified they searched Thornton’s residence for evidence. “We had information he had child pornography,” McWaters said. “He had videos of girls dressed in school outfits.” McWaters said the investigation led authorities to believe he had other tapes as well. “He possibly had video tapes of his sex acts but did not,” McWaters testified. “There was nothing illegal.” Hall asked the now 9-year-old alleged victim, who was 3 when the alleged abuse occurred, what happened. “He told me to come into his bedroom,” the victim said. “He told me to pull down my pants. He touched my private parts with his private parts.”

continued from page 1

The mother of the alleged victim told jurors she delayed reporting the abuse because she didn’t know what to do. Tracy Stockdale admitted to having a relationship with Thornton and seeing some of the abuse. “He laid (the victim) on the bed and put something on her,” Stockdale said. “He kept messing with her. He was pulling on her private parts. I kind of felt awkward. She was telling him to stop.” Stockdale’s daughter Crystal Varden also testified for the state. Varden stated she had also had a relationship with Thornton and Stockdale was not happy about it. Varden recounted a story similar to Stockdale. “I saw him put the rag down,” Varden said. “It happened again.” Varden explained Thornton did not see or know she witnessed another incident recalling Thornton had the victim’s pants down around the thigh and was using a toy on the victim. Varden explained she and Thornton had fought. “We got into a physical altercation when I was 19,” Varden said. Varden told Wright in

Council and federal funds for lighting on the runaway and lighting the part of the taxiway not yet lit. “It is kind of like putting feelers out,” community development director Al Jones said. The work would cost more than $600,000 and the city’s match would be 5 percent, or about $31,000. It involves replacing lights that have been in place since the 1970s. The lighting has been damaged by lightning and has caused some runway closures. The new lights would replace the damaged system making things better all the way around. “This is a more efficient system,” Jones said. “This new lighting would also reduce the minimal number of shut downs we have had out there.” The mayor was authorized by the council to execute a contract with Jackson Thornton for an electric, gas, water and wastewater rate study. The cost of the project is not to exceed $60,000. Jones said the Alabama Municipal Electric

front of the jury she reported the abuse to DHR in Elmore County. Hall called forensic interviewer Morgan Jenkins to the stand. “(He) touched me with wing-wing,” Jenkins said the 4-year-old child told her in a 2013 interview. Jenkins said the child also disclosed Thornton touched the victim’s private area with a knife. Wright asked Jenkins about leading the child through an interview and noticing hints if the child was being coached. He also asked Jenkins what she recommended. “I recommended an extensive forensic interview,” Jenkins said. “This was not a clear-cut disclosure.” Jenkins testified she felt as if the child was not coached. The state rested and Wright called the first witness in Thornton’s defense, Dr. Stacy Ikard who is the former head of the National Child Advocacy Center (NCAC) in Huntsville. Ikard stated she had been in private practice since 2003 but had conducted some 2,000 forensic interviews in her

Authority would fund $25,000 of the study and the other monies would come from funds coming back to the city from the Korens building deal. “There are no new changes to the general fund,” Jones said. The council also: • approved minutes from the Oct. 1 regular meeting and the Sept. 26 work session. • approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute a contract with the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department for fiscal year 2019 to house city inmates. The costs involve a $50 booking fee and $10 a day for food per city inmate. • approved the annual Hometown Christmas Parade for Monday, Dec. 3. The normal council meeting falls on that day and the council also moved the meeting that day to 5 p.m. so members could ride the city float. The next meeting of the Alexander City City Council is Monday, Nov. 5 at 5:30 p.m.

three years. It through the same center Jenkins received training for forensic interviews. She testified she thought much of Jenkins’ interview was improper. “There were several leading questions,” Ikard stated. “There was not a lot of narrative disclosure.” Ikard testified she believed Jenkins used language the victim could not understand. “There were a lot of questions she asked that were not age appropriate,” Ikard said. District attorney Jeremy Duerr questioned Ikard on the state’s cross-examination challenging the number of interviews Ikard did during her stay as head of the NCAC and main forensic interviewer. Duerr presented Ikard with documents stating the center did just over 1,200 interviews in the time Ikard was there. Ikard told Duerr and the jury she had reviewed the 25-minute video of the forensic interview in the case and had looked over records for DHR for a total of about 20 hours. Thornton’s trial continues today in front of Judge Tom Young at 9 a.m.

Missing

continued from page 1

Family reported Fuller missing early Saturday. “We started looking for her,” Alexander City police chief Jay Turner said Sunday. “We interviewed friends and family Saturday, followed up again (Sunday).” According to police Fuller’s car was found on Barrett Road just off the road near a creek. Family members said she left behind her phone, which is unusual for Fuller. All day Sunday, the police department, along with members of the Alexander City Tallapoosa County Rescue Squad searched the woods of the area off Barrett Road for Fuller. Family members of Fuller also took part in the search and wanted to thank those departments and individuals taking part in the search. Rescuers called off the physical search Sunday afternoon while investigators at the police department searched for more clues to Fuller’s whereabouts. Police are still asking if anyone knows anything about Fuller’s disappearance to call the department at 256-234-3421 as they continue to investigate the case. Simmons was afraid something had gone terribly wrong. “It scared me someone from Alex City could be missing for three days,” Simmons said. “I was afraid she was dead.”

View Oktoberfest provides excitement for all

aturday, the Alexander City Parks and Recreation Department held its annual Oktoberfest celebration at the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex. From the 5K run in the early morning hours to the wide range of vendors offering up craft items and food of all kinds, this year’s festival had something for everyone. Local vendors and those from farther away lined the roadway, selling artwork, cheese, handmade nativity sets and much more. Local civic groups offered guests information about the organizations, encouraging new members to join up, while agencies like the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department and Tallapoosa County EMA shared more about themselves. Churches and politicians were also in attendance, working the vote and spreading the gospel. For those who needed a break, there were barbecue trucks, hot dog vendors and an ice cream stand offering up food and drinks. Live music filled the air in the hollow next to the playground, letting visitors rest for a moment and enjoy the show. In addition to the vendors and the music, there were vehicles of all makes and models on display, some of which dated all the way back to the early 1920s. Sports cars from the 1980s sat right next to family cars from the 1930s, while iconic vehicles like the 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air were right nearby. There were also a handful of mascots interacting with guests throughout the park. The Alexander City Fire Department brought Sparky the Fire Dog with them, while Eddie Eagle and McGruff the Crime Dog accompanied officers of the Alexander City Police Department. With so many moving parts involved, it was a nice sight, seeing everyone working together to make this year’s Oktoberfest an unforgettable experience, while guests from throughout the area took advantage of the recently arrived fall weather to enjoy their Saturday in the park and seeing what all there was to enjoy. Let’s all be thankful our community offers up events like these for us to enjoy. At the same time, let’s all take a moment and enjoy these events when they come around. Those involved work hard to make them possible, so let’s get the most out of them.

Most honest president in history?

onald Trump may be remembered as the most honest president in modern American history. Don’t get me wrong, Trump lies all the time. He said he “enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history” (actually they are the eighth largest) and “our economy is the strongest it’s ever been in the history of our country” (which may one day be true, but not yet). In part, it’s a New York thing — everything is the biggest and the best. But when it comes to the real barometer of presidential truthfulness — keeping his promises — Trump is a paragon of honesty. For better or worse, since taking office Trump has done exactly what he promised he would do. Trump kept his promise to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, something his three immediate predecessors also promised yet failed to do. He promised to “crush and destroy ISIS,” and two years later he is on the verge of eliminating the Islamic State’s physical caliphate. He promised to impose a travel ban on countries that he saw as posing a terrorist threat, and after several false starts the final version of his ban was upheld by the Supreme Court. He promised to punish Syria if it used chemical weapons on its people, and, unlike his immediate predecessor, he followed through — not once but twice. Trump pledged to nominate Supreme Court justices “in the mold of Justice [Antonin] Scalia,” and now Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh sit on the high court. Trump also pledged to fill the federal appellate courts with young, conservative judges, and so far the Senate has confirmed 29 — more than any recent president at this point in his administration. Trump vowed to pass historic tax reforms, and

MARC THIESSEN Columnist signed the first major overhaul of the tax code in three decades. He vowed an unprecedented regulatory rollback, with a strict policy to eliminate two existing regulations for every new regulation. In his first year, he achieved $8.1 billion in lifetime regulatory savings and is on track to achieve an additional $9.8 billion this year. During the campaign, he told African American voters, “What do you have to lose? ... I will straighten it out. I’ll bring jobs back. We’ll bring spirit back.” On his watch, African American unemployment reached the lowest level ever recorded, and his tax reform included a little-noticed provision creating “Opportunity Zones” to try to revitalize struggling towns and inner-city communities. Trump promised to cancel President Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan, withdraw from the Paris climate accord, approve the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, and open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to exploration. He fulfilled all of those pledges. On trade, he kept his promise to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and impose tariffs on steel and aluminum. He also committed to renegotiating NAFTA and the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement — and recently signed new deals with Mexico, Canada and South Korea. He committed to imposing tariffs on China to force it to open its markets and stop its theft of intellectual property — and is following through on that pledge. Whatever one thinks of Trump’s trade policies, he is doing exactly what he said. The president pledged

historic increases in defense spending, and delivered. He pledged to bring back manufacturing jobs, and manufacturing jobs are growing at the fastest pace in more than two decades. He pledged to sign “Right to Try” legislation to give dying Americans access to experimental treatments, and did. He pledged to take on the opioid epidemic, and will soon sign a sweeping bipartisan opioids package into law. Where Trump has failed to keep promises, such as building the wall or repealing Obamacare, it has not been for a lack of trying. Only in a few rare instances has he backtracked on a campaign pledge — such as when he admitted that he was wrong to promise a complete withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan and reversed course. I’m glad he did. But whether one agrees or disagrees is not the point. When Trump says he will do something, you can take it to the bank. Yes, he takes liberties with the truth. But unlike his predecessor, he did not pass his signature legislative achievement on the basis of a lie (“If you like your health care plan, you can keep it”) — which is clearly worse than falsely bragging that your tax cut is the biggest ever. The fact is, in his first two years, Trump has compiled a remarkable record of presidential promise-keeping. He’d probably say it’s the best in history — which may or may not end up being true. It’s too soon to tell. Marc A. Thiessen writes a twice-weekly column for The Post on foreign and domestic policy and contributes to the PostPartisan blog.

Virtually as far back as one can recall, the favorite political tactic employed by the left is preaching, “the wealthy are not paying their fair share of taxes.” Really? Let’s take a snapshot look at today’s world. The official population count of the United States is roughly 327 million. Yet, according to a recent report published by the Pew Research Center, only 1,400 of top income earners pay more in taxes annually

than the bottom 70 percent of the population. Additionally, 45 percent of Americans pay no taxes whatsoever. Nonetheless, politicians know full well to prevail, they must cater to that 70 percent of low taxpayers and addressing the tax burden of the top 1,400 taxpayers carrying the load of taxes will not deliver the votes. The Office of Management and Budget reports in the most recent fiscal year, the IRS collected a total of $1.66 trillion (that’s with a T) in annual taxes from individual

taxpayers. Just consider the staggering amount of taxes the wealthiest 1,400 are paying of this total. The next time you witness a patronizing politician claiming, “the wealthiest are not paying their share,” please recall these statistics.

HOW DO BATTERIES WORK?

A battery is a device that converts chemical energy into electric energy. The electrical battery was invented in Italy in 1800 by Alessandro Volta. A battery, also known as a cell, is composed of a few simple components. Each cell has two conductors called electrodes which are usually made up of metals. Each battery has a positive (cathode) and negative (anode) electrode. Batteries also contain another component called an electrolyte. The electrolyte is usually a liquid, gel, or paste, which contains the electrons. The cathode attracts electrons while the anode pushes them away, thus creating the electrical current. The ends of a battery are called terminals. Often times, several batteries are used together to increase the current or voltage. Voltage is a unit of measurement that represents how much elecWULFLW\ VRPHWKLQJ PD\ FUHDWH 7KH WHUP ZDV QDPHG DIWHU 0U 9ROWD 7RGD\ WKHUH DUH PDQ\ GLá&#x201A;&#x2021;HUHQW VKDSHV DQG VL]HV WR EDWWHULHV LQ RUGHU IRU WKHP WR ÂżW LQWR PDQ\ REMHFWV $ FRPPRQ KRXVHKROG EDWWHU\ VXFK DV RQH WKDW LV XVHG LQ D Ă&#x20AC;DVKOLJKW LV FDOOHG D SULPDU\ EDWWHU\ $ SULPDU\ EDWWHU\ LV RQH WKDW cannot be recharged once it has been depleted of energy. More and more people are now buying rechargeable household batteries to conserve the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources. Rechargeable batteries, which also include cell phone and car batteries, are called secondary batteries. A secondary battery is one that can be recharged with an electric current, for example, a power outlet.

LEMON JUICE BATTERY EXPERIMENT You will need: 2 large lemons, 2 copper pennies, 2 large paper clips, copper wire, scissors, knife, small LED lightbulb (such as a Christmas tree lightbulb)

WHICH ROBOT GETS CHARGED?

Step One: Take the copper wires and cut 3 pieces about 10 inches in length. With the 1st wire, wrap about 2 inches of wire around it. With the 2nd wire, do the same to a paper clip. With the 3rd wire, wrap about 2 inches around the last penny and at the other end, wrap another 2 inches around the last paperclip. Step Two: Take the 2 lemons and gently roll them around to loosen the pulp. (Be sure not to break the skin.) Have a grownup cut 2 small slits into the top of each lemon, large HQRXJK IRU WKH SHQQLHV DQG SDSHU FOLSV WR ÂżW LQWR Step Three: In the 1st lemon, place the penny attached to a wire in the left hole. In the 2nd lemon, place the paper clip attached to a wire in the right hole. Then take the last wire and place the paper clip into the right hole in the 1st lemon and the penny end in the last hole in the 2nd lemon. See the diagram to the left. Step Four: Take the loose ends of the wires and attach them to the light. Step Five: Once the wires are attached, a chemical reaction will occur and a few seconds later the lightbulb will become lit. If nothing happens, be sure that the loose wires are attached to the proper sides of the lightbulb. *This experiment can be used with potatoes, oranges, or limes, as well. If you do not have an LED lightbulb, a small digital clock will also work. Some lightbulbs may require more than two lemons.

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your interactions with a higher-up remind you of the power and control others like to wield. You understand your inner power, and you refuse to become engaged in othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; issues. Go oÉ&#x2C6;, network and work on an important relationship. Tonight: Relating individually would be best. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Information you receive forces you to reassess certain decisions. Though at Ă&#x201E;rst you might be upset, as you process, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see the strength of this new position. An associate encourages you to move forward and not worry about what is next. Tonight: Catch up on a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s news. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your strength emerges when relating on a one-on-one level. You might agree with another person, and vice versa. You can bridge a problem by accepting that not everyone thinks as you do. Do not sign oÉ&#x2C6; on any joint ventures right now. Tonight: A talk could be intense. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Others might not realize how challenging they really are. In fact, you cannot seem to make a decision without them. Your sense of humor kicks in, which helps lighten up the moment. Trust your creativity and ingenuity to come forward for you. Tonight: Let the fun begin. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) As charming as you are, some people will not respond as you might like. Someone who is into control games is unlikely to acquiesce to your graceful or engaging ways. Maintain a positive outlook and breeze past diÉ&#x2030;cult, power-happy people. Tonight: A surprise greets you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) One-on-one relating will be positive if you can escape the shackles of a control game. The only way to win is to become oblivious to the other partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games. Your perception is likely to open up a conversation. You can only beneĂ&#x201E;t from such a situa-

tion. Tonight: Let your hair down. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your ability to tell it like it is emerges. You can say nearly anything to someone because of your verbal skills. People sometimes have strong reactions after they internalize the meaning of your words. You might want to prepare for this. Tonight: Happily nested at home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might have diÉ&#x2030;culty identifying with others. You will see that there is an appropriate response once everyone realizes and feels free to share their opinions. Do not encourage someone to do something that he or she might regret later. Tonight: At a favorite haunt. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your ability to bypass diÉ&#x2030;cult people emerges. You might not like what you see. Not playing into othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; issues often forces them to look at themselves. This response might not occur immediately, but it will in time. Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Out and about. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Listen to what someone else is sharing and the possibilities that surround a certain decision. You might have more options in front of you than you realize. Investigate news with an eye to whether it is factual. Ask questions, if need be. Tonight: Go for more of what you want. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your unique approach and perception could make all the diÉ&#x2C6;erence in how a diÉ&#x2030;cult situation resolves itself. Right now your views might not be appreciated. Open up to new ideas and weigh the pros and cons -- at least to yourself. Tonight: Get a good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A meeting points you in the right direction and toward the right choices. Your ability to move forward without being distracted might be a challenge. Your mind tends to Ă&#x2026;oat from one topic to another. A friend means well, but might push you too hard. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; play area, pumpkin painting area and face painting booth open at 9 a.m., with the pumpkin roll down Alabama Street set to begin at 10 a.m. Along with all of these events, Smith said there will be a special farmers market on Broad Street beginning at 7 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been hearing has been really positive,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is really excited, and a number of them have said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happier it got pushed back to earlier in the day.â&#x20AC;? During the everpopular pumpkin roll, children will have the chance to try and get a pumpkin to go down the hill on Alabama Street, though Smith said it sometimes takes three or four rolls for the pumpkins to make it all the way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sign-ups for the pumpkin roll begin at 9 a.m.,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get there early. While the kids get the chance to race pumpkins, it is all about having fun.â&#x20AC;? One new fall activity included in Fall for Downtown is an apple tasting sponsored by PATH (Prosperity Again Through Health). Participants will have the chance to go around downtown to places like Wine Emporium, Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and others to taste test various kinds of apples. Smith said Main Street was excited to be adding this to the list of activities for the event. There is no cost to attend Fall for Downtown, and Smith encouraged everyone to come out and have a fun day, enjoying some quality family time together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking forward to everything (Saturday),â&#x20AC;? Smith said.

UPSET ALERT:

Auburn turnovers, defensive woes cause loss to Vols

STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

Anthony Schwartz flashed his world-class speed on the Tigers’ longest play of the season but Tennessee defeated No. 21 Auburn 30-24 Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium. “Very tough loss, very disappointing,” Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. “I really felt like we would come out and play our best game. We got off to a good start, things were going good. Our kids fought to the end. I’m proud of our kids’ fight. We give Tennessee credit and congratulate them.” Auburn started fast, driving 75 yards, mostly on the ground, on the game’s opening possession with Chandler Cox’s 1-yard touchdown putting the Tigers up 7-0. The Tigers were 3-for-3 on third down on the drive, with Jatarvious Whitlow moving the chains each time. After Schwartz gained 17 yards to Tenessee’s 3, Cox scored his second career rushing touchdown two plays later. After Tennessee answered with a field goal, Auburn responded with a 20-yard Anders Carlson field goal to lead 10-3 after the first quarter. The Volunteers tied it at 10 on a 42-yard yard touchdown pass from Jarrett Guarantano to Ty Chandler early in the second quarter. Guarantano completed 21 of 32 passes for 328 yards and two touchdowns. After Auburn’s defense forced a three-and-out, Jarrett Stidham found Schwartz on an out route. The freshman track star broke a tackle then raced down the Auburn sideline for a 76-yard score to give a 17-10 lead with 3:26 left in the first

half. After the dash by “Flash,” Tennessee kicked a field goal, trimming Auburn’s lead to 17-13 at the half. Tennessee forced three Auburn turnovers, hit several long pass plays, and outscored the Tigers 17-7 in the second half. Late in the third quarter, the Volunteers took a 20-17 lead on a 25-yard pass to Jauan Jennings, then scored again 51 seconds to take a 10-point lead on Alontae Taylor’s fumble return. Seth Williams caught a 14-yard touchdown pass with 37 second left to make it 30-24, but Tennessee recovered the onside kick to secure the win. Williams led Auburn with 85 receiving yards on five catches. Stidham was 28-for-45 for 322 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.

“I’ve got to do a better job, got to hold onto the ball, not turn it over,” Stidham said. “It’s not fun losing like this, but like I’ve said, our guys, they’re hungry to get better every week. I know, collectively as a team, we’re going to stick together. We’re going to block out all the outside noise, and we’re just going to continue to grind for each other like we have all along.”

Tide goes over 500 yards for seventh straight game

The No. 1 Alabama football team defeated Missouri, 39-10, Saturday night at BryantDenny Stadium behind a threetouchdown performance by sophomore quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on Homecoming in front of 101,821 fans. The Crimson Tide (7-0, 4-0 SEC) netted 564 yards of total offense against the Tigers (3-3,

0-3 SEC) in the win. On the offensive side, Tagovailoa threw for three touchdowns, all in the first half, while going 12-for22 in the air for 265 yards. Sophomore wide receiver Jerry Jeudy hauled in three passes for a career-high 147 yards and a touchdown while fellow sophomore wide out DeVonta Smith caught four passes for 100 yards and a score to give the Crimson Tide two 100-yard receivers for the third game in a row.

AU Sailing Club hits Lake Martin for practice By AMY PASSARETTI Lake Martin Living Editor

Of all the possible lakes Auburn University’s Sailing Club could use for practice, its members are grateful to have Lake Martin and the Dixie Sailing Club as home to their boats and practice field. The sailing team owns eight 420s; two 22s and a 27, which are all housed at DSC. The eight-year old Auburn University club had to start from scratch after the club was dismantled in the 90s due to lack of interest. Now, the club has more than 90 members, of which about 20 are active on the lake. “The AU Sailing Club really defies the stereotype of some average college clubs. We actually enjoy getting out on the lake and spend as much time as possible there,” said Michael Zeller, race side fleet captain. The choice of Lake Martin was easy, not only due to proximity, said Zeller, but also because of the quiet area where DSC is located, along with the abundant space to practice necessary runs and maneuvers. “We do have a disadvantage from other colleges who live directly on the water, but Lake Martin gives us a good challenge on wind. We are able to gauge different types of wind a little easier,” Zeller said. ”But we do have a longer sailing season due to our weather.” Another huge asset, said Australian native Kolbein Corriço, is the top-notch water quality. “This is some of the cleanest, clearest water I’ve seen in the world. If you sail, you can’t worry about falling in the water, so Lake Martin provides a good feature for that security,” said Corriço, who transferred to AU from Sydney University in Melbourne. With more than 12 years of sailing and windsurfing experience off the coast of Australia in rough waters, Corriço brings a unique skill set to the club. He even volunteers his time and knowledge to the DSC youth program. “I feel like it’s in AUSC’s best interest to express how helpful Kolbein has been this year by bringing his skills and sailing knowledge to our youth as a volunteer. He also serves on the DSCYP board of directors and is a great asset to our officers,” said Stephanie Childers, vice president of DSC. The symbiotic relationship between AU and DSC is valuable to both parties. The university sailing club members offer

rushed the ball 14 times for 62 yards and a score. Junior linebacker Mack Wilson and redshirt sophomore Quinnen Williams led the Tide defense. Wilson finished with a team-high 11 tackles and a sack while Williams tallied seven stops and Alabama’s first safety since 2015. For the seventh consecutive game, Alabama scored on its opening drive when Tagovailoa found Jeudy for an 81-yard bomb to put the Tide on the board just 23 seconds into the game.

Auburn’s sailing team stores its boats at the Dixie Sailing Club and uses the quiet area of the lake to practice for competitions.

assistance during DSC workdays and help with ground maintenance, when possible within their college schedules. Corriço is vice commodore of the AU sailing team, which means he monitors the water, manages practices and oversees the day-to-day operations. “The biggest job I have is to keep everyone in my eyesight. Safety is the top priority. Even though sailing is a pretty safe sport, it has the potential to be risky,” said Corriço. Brett Lattimore, commodore of the fleet, runs what happens at the lake and is in charge of organizing all races and regattas. The team tries to attend four to five races in the fall season and about six in the spring. They typically compete throughout the Southeast, as the club is part of the Southern Atlantic Intercollegiate Association of Sailing but has traveled as far north as North Carolina and as far south as Eckert, Florida. “We have a very wide range of skill levels in our club. You don’t have to know how to sail to join. A lot of what our club does is having older members teaching the younger or newer members how to sail,” said Zeller. Jeremiah Sain had never sailed before and visited Lake Martin early last month for his first round instructions from Zeller and other members. The longer-standing

members walked Sain through set up and rigging of the boat, along with launching and learning the ropes on the water. “I really like to try new things, and I am excited for this opportunity. I love being outdoors and anything that involves being outside,” said Sain, a sophomore at AU. Like Corriço, French exchange student Line Jouin is used to rougher waters off the coast of Hyeres where she is a sailing instructor. Jouin is attending AU for one semester and jumped at the opportunity to join the sailing team. “I want to try every club because it is the best way to meet people since I am alone here and know no one,” Jouin said. The Mediterranean Sea, which Jouin sails, is home to many World Cup competitions, and she said she enjoys the waters and softer winds of Lake Martin. Although Jouin has to learn the sailing terminology in English to react quickly on the boat, she said everyone has been extremely friendly upon her visit to the States. “You have, by far, the most welcoming people here at Lake Martin. It’s amazing,” said Jouin. “And I have seen a lot of lakes, and there is nothing as pretty as here.” For more information about the Auburn University Sailing Club, visit the Facebook page.
