tudents in Mandi Durr’s entrepreneurship class welcomed guests to Benjamin Russell Tuesday morning to help celebrate the official grand opening of the Wildcat Den, a student-run shop located inside Durr’s classroom.

“We have been open since about the third week of August,” Durr said. “Sales have been good overall.”

The Wildcat Den offers customers a variety of items, including BRHS apparel and school supplies. Should students need things like tri-fold boards for a class project, or forgot things like pencils and notebooks, they are able to come down to the store and purchase what they need.

Willard Hall Thornton slowly walked up to the bench of Judge Tom Young Jr. with a oxygen tank in tow to assist in breathing on Day 2 of his trial.

Unlike earlier in the day, when he took the stand in his own defense, fighting charges of sex abuse of a child under 12 years of age and firstdegree sodomy, Thornton admitted his guilt as the jury was three hours into deliberating his fate.

“I touched (the victim) inappropriately,” Thornton told Young.

Thornton pleaded guilty to the sex abuse charge, and the sodomy charge was dismissed.

The plea was offered by District Attorney Jeremy Duerr as it appeared the jury was headed

The New Site Town Council discussed the role of town attorney Mack Clayton in the New Site Gymnasium project Monday night, clarifying what he would do as everything moved forward.

Now that Clayton has all of the necessary information, including everything town clerk Shelia Fuller said she had, councilman Toby Hanson asked if Clayton would be handling everything with the engineers involved.

“He’s going to get with them and then we’ll go from there,” councilman Michael East said. “He is going to be our liaison.”

Councilman Billy Daniel said communication is key moving forward. Leading up to this point.

East said information from the state fire marshal came through Clayton to the town.

What started as a quick trip to the Panama City, Florida area to assist victims of Hurricane Michael taking a few things to help, but it has turned into a mission for the Alexander City Church of Christ.

“The people we were helping are parents of an Alexander City resident,” Alexander City Church of Christ’s Brendan Chance said. “She works at Jim Pearson Elementary School and stayed another day.”

Chance explained the couple’s story as they rode out the storm just north of the Lynn Haven area where President Donald Trump visited with victims this week.

“They went to bed thinking it was not going to be that bad,” Chance said. “They did not think it was going to be a Category 4 or 5 hurricane – nobody thought it would do that much damage See HURRICANE • Page A6

DEAR ABBY: My husband has an extensive sexual history. He has had sex with more than 80 partners. All the encounters were when he was in high school and in his early 20s. Most were one-night stands with female friends.

When we met, he was honest, and I was understanding. He didn’t keep in touch with any of those females (pre-Facebook). But now he’s friends with several of them on Facebook, and while he doesn’t “talk” to them, he comments and “likes” many of their posts. This makes me uncomfortable because I don’t feel that past sexual partners should be part of one’s life once someone is married. I’m not jealous or insecure, I just think it’s disrespectful. Am I controlling? -- ANXIOUS IN ARIZONA DEAR ANXIOUS: Your husband was certainly active. Was he also able to keep his grade point up? You say he has been honest with you about his sexual history. Nowhere in your letter have you indicated that

DEAR ABBY Advice

there has been any infidelity.

I suspect that in spite of your denial, you may be feeling a bit insecure, and if your husband is telling you that you’re coming across as controlling, that is the way he perceives it.

“Liking” the Facebook posts of someone you haven’t seen in decades isn’t inviting the person to have an affair. If I were you, I’d calm down.

DEAR ABBY: How do I get across to my parents that I don’t want them exposing my minor children to my mentally ill sister? “Evangeline” is bipolar, has borderline personality disorder and sometimes acts out in public. They know how strongly I feel about this but find ways to expose my children to her anyway. My kids don’t want to be around

Evangeline, but my parents continue to push her on them.

I’ll give you an example: They’ll take the kids out to dinner and “bump into her unplanned” at a restaurant. I don’t know what else I can do other than tell them I don’t like it. But when I do, they refuse to listen and get upset when my kids tell me they saw her.

Please advise. -- LOOKING OUT FOR MY KIDS DEAR LOOKING: Mental illness isn’t contagious. As long as Evangeline is on her medication, she poses no threat to your children. Is it beyond the realm of possibility that these encounters with her ARE actually unplanned? Sometimes people -- myself included -- get into the habit of patronizing certain restaurants because they are nearby and serve reliably good food. It’s easy to fall into a comfortable pattern.

Because you feel so strongly about these encounters, tell your parents you prefer they take your children to places your sister doesn’t frequent.

However, if they persist in

“pushing her on,” as you put it, then you may have to consider restricting your parents’ visits with the grandkids to situations you can control.

DEAR ABBY: Can you tell me why women wear high-heeled shoes? I cannot think of any benefits women derive from wearing them. Is it because they think high heels make their legs look more attractive, because it’s the fashion or some other reason?

-- BAFFLED AND CONFUSED DEAR BAFFLED: Not only do high heels make the legs and ankles look more attractive, when a person wears them they appear to be a few pounds lighter because they look taller. THAT’S why! (Guilty as charged.)

New Site Along with discussing Clayton and his role, the council also approved a $7,000 grant to complete the fire alarm installation project. Councilman Mickey Carter said, if the town is unable to use it, the deadline to turn it back in is July 2019.

The council also talked for several minutes about the clinic project. Fuller said a surveyor had been on site Friday, marking off areas next to town hall. Carter mentioned work may have to be done to move a residential driveway, depending on the final footprint of the project. Hanson was asked where his property line in the area was.

While he was not sure of the line’s exact location, Hanson said he was working to find it.

The New Site Town Council also took action on the following matters: • Minutes from the Oct. 1 meeting were approved.

• The council approved its annual $5,000 donation to Horseshoe Bend School, earmarking the funds for the school’s

basketball programs.

• It was explained the small blue flags popping up around town are marking where water meters are located as work prepares to begin on upgrading the town’s water system.

• The first edition of the town newsletter is ready to be printed, giving residents information about the water system upgrades, events at the senior center and an update on the clinic project. The council approved a payment of $250 to have the newsletter printed.

• Seven invoices from CDG Engineers on the water improvement project were paid.

• The council was informed Alabama Power could redo the lights at the walking track.

However, the council agreed the additional monthly cost of $178 for the six lights was too high. “I make a motion we not mess with them,” Hanson said. The council approved the motion.

• Fuller said everything is progressing on obtaining software for online bill payments, while she and assistant clerk Brittany Brown will be going through online

training regarding the software today.

• For lack of a motion, the council decided not to participate in the February 2019 Severe Weather Preparedness Tax Holiday.

• It was announced Tallapoosa River Electric Cooperative does have a program in place to update street lights throughout town, converting them over to light-emitting diode (LED) lights. This work will take place over a two-month period.

• The council approved amending the budget by $230 for janitorial services with Wendy Voss due to a small cleaning schedule change.

• The council approved extending New Site Senior Activity Center Director Jan Kennedy’s contract, giving her a small raise in the process.

• Now that an official job description for Kennedy has been finalized, the council approved the official description. The council also approved Resolution No. 2018-120, noting certain events and expenditures at the senior center to be serving a public purpose.

• Though Kennedy

was absent from the meeting, she had spoken with some of the council earlier in the day and said everyone taking part in the state Masters Games were enjoying themselves.

• Fuller said the Retirement Systems of Alabama are changing how the employee pension system is reported on. Fuller said she will be attending an event in Montgomery on Oct. 24 regarding this.

• Daniel mentioned the list of places throughout town to look at adding water lines to in the future. While he feels more discussion could be held off until later, he still wants to make sure the council is thinking about this project once others have been completed.

• Roger Coker with the water department said he and Carl Jackson have been working hard repairing at least nine leaks throughout town, which can be attributed to old lines.

The next meeting of the New Site Town Council will be Monday, Nov. 5 beginning at 5 p.m. in the community room of New Site Town Hall.

Lots of events to enjoy this week

Today’s

S

ummer may be the busiest time of the year in the Lake Martin area, but just because temperatures have dropped and the leaves have started turning colors, there is still plenty to do around town and the county.

Wind Creek State Park will be hosting its annual Fall Festival Saturday, beginning with a 5K run at 8:30 a.m.

This will be followed by the festival’s carnival, trick or treating, costume parade and hayrides through the park.

Even though guests to the festival who are not camping at Wind Creek will have to pay the day use fee, this is a small price for all of the fun and excitement waiting inside the park’s gate.

Also on Saturday, Main Street Alexander City is holding Fall for Downtown, where attendees have an opportunity to shop with local merchants and get some great deals on early holiday shopping. There will also be a pumpkin roll down Alabama Street, a special farmers market on Broad Street and a kids’ area in Strand Park with lots of fun activities. There is no cost to attend Fall for Downtown, and the fun in downtown begins at 8 a.m.

The Lake Martin Area United Way will be holding its annual fashion show fundraiser Thursday night, giving locals the chance to come out, see the latest fall fashions available at local retailers, enjoy some good food and help out a worthy cause. There will be live entertainment, a silent auction and nearly 80 models showing off the latest clothing trends.

Even though the seasons change and the peak of lake season has ended, there is no shortage of fun events to take part in and enjoy. With so much on the calendar these next few days, get out and make the most of this weekend in Alexander City and the Lake Martin area.

Daily Poll Tuesday’s question: Is it too early to carve pumpkins?

The story of Shorty Price

S

ince this is Alabama vs.

Tennessee week and we have a governor’s race in three weeks, allow me to share the story of Shorty Price.

Alabama has had its share of what I call “run for the fun of it” candidates. The most colorful of all these perennial “also ran” candidates was Ralph “Shorty” Price. He ran for governor every time.

His slogan was “Smoke Tampa Nugget cigars, drink Budweiser beer and vote for Shorty Price.”

In one of Shorty’s campaigns for governor his campaign speech contained this line, “If elected governor I will reduce the governor’s tenure from four to two years.

If you can’t steal enough to last you the rest of your life in two years, you ain’t got enough sense to have the office in the first place.” He would use recycled campaign signs to save money but he rarely garnered two percent of the votes in any campaign.

Shorty loved Alabama football. Following the Crimson Tide was Shorty’s prime passion in life. You could spot Shorty, even though he was only 5 feet tall, at every Crimson Tide football game always sporting a black suit, a black hat with a round top, his Alabama tie and flag.

I do not know if Shorty actually had a seat because he would parade around Denny Stadium or Legion Field posing as Alabama’s head cheerleader. In fact he would intersperse himself among the real Alabama cheerleaders and help them with their cheers.

There was no question that Shorty was totally inebriated in fact, I never saw Shorty when he was not drunk.

Shorty worshiped Paul “Bear” Bryant. Indeed Bryant, Wallace and Shorty were of the same era. Like Bryant,

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist Shorty hated Tennessee.

Speaking of the Tennessee rivalry, I will share with you a personal Shorty story.

I had become acquainted with Shorty early on in life. Therefore, on a clear, beautiful, third Saturday, fall afternoon in October, Alabama was playing Tennessee at Legion Field. As always, Shorty was prancing up and down the field. I was a freshman at the University on that fall Saturday. Shorty even in his drunken daze recognized me. I had a beautiful date that I was trying to impress and meeting Shorty did not impress her. Shorty pranced up the isle and proceeded to sit by me. His daily black suit had not been changed in probably over a year. He reeked of alcohol and body odor and my date had to hold her nose.

After about 20 minutes of offending my date, Shorty then proceeded to try to impress the crowd by doing somersaults off the six-foot walls of Legion field. He did at least three, mashing his head straight down on the pavement on each dive, I thought Shorty had killed himself with his somersaults.

His face and his head were bleeding profusely and he was developing a black eye. Fortunately, Shorty left my domain and proceeded to dance with Alabama cheerleaders that day as bloody as he may have been.

Shorty was beloved by the fans and I guess that is why the police in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa seem to ignore Shorty’s antics. However, that

was not the case in a classic Alabama game four years later. By this time I was a senior at the University and we were facing Notre Dame in an epic championship battle in the old New Orleans Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Eve. It was for the 1973 national championship. Bear Bryant and Ara Parseghian were pitted against each other. We were ranked No. 1 and 2.

One of the largest television audiences in history was focused on the 7:30 p.m. kickoff. It was electrifying.

Those of us in the stands were awaiting the entrance of the football team, as were the ABC cameras. Somehow or other, Shorty had journeyed to New Orleans, had gotten on the field and was posed to lead the Alabama team out on the field.

As was customary, Shorty was drunk as ‘Cooter Brown.’

He started off by beating an Irish puppet with a club and the next thing I knew two burly New Orleans policemen, two of the biggest I had ever seen, picked up Shorty by his arms and escorted him off the field. They did not know who Shorty was and did not appreciate him. Sadly, Shorty, one of Alabama’s greatest fans, missed one of Alabama’s classic games sitting in a New Orleans jail.

I have always believed that Shorty’s removal from the field was a bad omen for us that night. We lost 24-23 and Notre Dame won the National Championship.

See you next week.

Wildcat Durr said the store recently obtained a heat press, so customers will be able to have names and numbers printed onto the backs of many of the shirts the store sells.

Towards the end of last school year, Durr said she asked Benjamin Russell principal Dr. Anthony Wilkinson if having this store would be possible.

Wilkinson approved the plan, while classes in the engineering department helped produce the wooden structure the store utilizes. Durr feels the store fits in perfectly with the overall vision of moving Benjamin Russell forward, giving students handson experience in running a store should they decide to become entrepreneurs or simply work retail after finishing their education.

“We’ve been learning spreadsheets and tracking inventory,” Durr said.

In addition to helping students prepare for life after school, Durr said the store will also benefit some of the athletics at BRHS. According to Durr, enough of the proceeds from the store will go towards keeping the inventory stocked, while the rest will go

into the school’s general account and the athletic teams. For example, the basketball teams will receive some of the proceeds from the two different styles of basketball T-shirts.

“Out of everything we’ve had for sale, the Alma Mater shirt (a long-sleeve T-shirt with BRHS in block letters on the front and the words of the alma mater shaped into a wildcat head on the back) has been the best seller so far,” Durr said.

Looking to the future, Durr

said she and her students would like to take the Wildcat Den online, as well as making the store mobile to sell gameday merchandise at sporting events.

Not only will this give parents and fans the chance to purchase shirts and other items as they arrive at the game, but also further cements the partnerships Durr wants to forge with every sports team at the school.

“We may do some special events with some of the sports,” Durr said.

Durr also wanted to thank the sponsors who helped make the Wildcat Den a reality, including Plain and Fancy Cleaners, Pediatric Associates, Dianne Naler CPA, Security Pest Control, JR’s, Radney, Radney and Jackson, Morris, Haynes, Hornsby, Wheeler and Knowles LLP, Russell Medical, Caldwell Electronics, Daughtry Insurance Agency, River Bank and Trust and Valley National Bank.

Durr said the Wildcat Den is open for students before school begins, during break and lunch, and before events like pep rallies.

“There are endless possibilities for what we can do here,” she said.

inland.”

Chance described the drive south into Florida.

“Highway 231 south of Dothan is rough,” Chance said. “It gets really rough south of I-10.”

Chance explained storm damage was everywhere.

“It is rough,” he said. “There absolutely no infrastructure. It’s very primitive – no power, no water.”

Chance said the area did not get the storm surge often seen at the coast as hurricanes come ashore but it did have plenty of wind damage from the hurricane strength winds the area faced.

Chance has helped out with recovery missions in the past but this one is easily some of the worst damage he has seen.

“I have done about eight or so of these missions,” Chance said.

“This takes the top of the list though in the destruction.”

The Alexander City Church of Christ is planning another trip to the area this upcoming Saturday and is hoping residents in Alexander City can help with donations. They are seeking small grills, ‘Matchlight’ charcoal, lighters, batteries, coolers, water and basic building supplies to start the cleanup, but nothing like sheetrock yet as there is no storage. Donations can be dropped off at the church at 945 Tallapoosa St. at the annex between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. through Friday.

The church is working with the Church of Christ’s disaster recovery efforts and through the Jenks Avenue Church of Christ and Palo Alto Church of Christ in Panama City.

“We want to encourage everyone to help out,” Chance said.

“Maybe it’s a case of water, a cooler or tarps. We can all do a little bit.”

The Alexander City of Christ is not the only group in Tallapoosa County helping in relief efforts in the panhandle of Florida.

The Alexander City Area Ministerial Association is planning a drive similar to what it did for Hurricane Florence in the Carolinas and Copper’s Grill is accepting items to be transported to areas affected by Hurricane Michael.

Plea to being deadlocked.

The jury heard the case and retired to the jury room at 10:46 a.m. Tuesday to deliberate Thornton’s fate. At noon, the jury broke for lunch. After reconvening at 1:15 p.m., the jury returned to the box at 1:45 p.m. still undecided. Then Young gave jurors further instructions about deliberating more and telling them to take time to hear the reasons why other jurors are convinced one way or the other on their decision.

“That is what I call a dynamite charge,” Young told the courtroom after the jury returned to deliberate.

Duerr explained the plea offer while the jury was still out, but it appeared it would be deadlocked on a decision.

“It is a ‘best-interest’ plea,” Duerr said afterwards. “It saves the cost of paying for the defense attorney again, the witnesses, but most importantly it saves the victim from having to live it again.”

Young sentenced Thornton to five years in prison, but split his sentence meaning Thornton will serve 45 days in

continued from page A1

jail and three years on probation.

“Truthfully, he will spend the rest of his life on probation,” Duerr said. “He will have to register as a sex offender the rest of his life.”

Just hours earlier, Thornton said he did nothing wrong as he testified in his own defense.

Thornton spoke clearly into the microphone as his attorney, Ken Wright, asked questions about what witnesses said Monday he did to a child who was 3 and 4 at the time of the abuse about five years ago. Thornton acknowledged having relationships with two women but denied the sex abuse claims of an alleged victim known to him who is now 9 years old.

One of the witnesses claimed Thornton used a vibrator or sex toy on the child.

“I had no such toy,” Thornton told the jury.

Duerr asked Thornton about using sex toys on young girls.

“No,” Thornton responded. “I am not

like that.”

In his closing statements, Wright said the witness accounts did not match that of the victim. Some of the accounts included using sex toys and various inappropriate touching on multiple occasions. “(The victim) said he touched her on her bottom,” Wright stated from a lectern in front of the jury box. “Witnesses said on at least three occasions (Thornton) inappropriately touched (the child.) (The victim) only said once.”

Two witnesses stated in front of the jury they saw Thornton touching the child and doing inappropriate things.

“It would be insane if it happened from them to allow it to continue,” Wright said in his closing argument.

Duerr had the last say with jurors before they were dismissed to the jury room to deliberate Thornton’s fate. Duerr told jurors he cannot select his witnesses; they come to him because of the case.

“As the state we don’t get to pick the victims and witnesses,” Duerr said. “I

admit they were not great witnesses.”

Duerr took issue with Thornton and Wright bringing an expert witness to challenge the creditability of the forensic interview comparing to a card game.

“I am playing five-card stud,” he said.

“I have to play the cards I am dealt.

The defense is able to play the game as seven-card draw. They get seven cards and only have to play five and they get to discard and draw again. I don’t get to go out and buy my witness for $8,000. I don’t get that luxury.”

Duerr stated this is not like some television shows where everything is cut and dry.

“There is no ‘ah-ha’ moment like in ‘CSI,’” Duerr said. “It is what it is.”

Duerr left the jury with a statement referring to Wright’s opening remarks in the trial from Monday.

“You heard in the opening statements from the defense you could call him a ladies’ man,” Duerr said. “All we have heard about is how he likes young girls.

Go back and find the ladies’ man guilty.”

Great weather and crowds for area fall festivals H

ere we are in mid-October already. This past weekend’s weather was just splendid.

Maybe you were able to get out to enjoy Oktoberfest in Alex City or the 26th Alabama Cotton Festival in Eclectic.

Both festivals had perfectly fantastic weather. The sort that makes people want to get out and spend some money. While the outside truly beckoned to me, I just needed to catch up with some inside chores that also called my name.

Do mark your calendar for next Thursday, Oct. 25 when the lady Chit-Chatters group will meet at 11 a.m. in Rockford for this month’s luncheon at The Triple RRR

Caf«. We’d love for you to join us there for delicious food and friendly company.

This may be just the sweet break you need for the month. ChitChatters do not meet in November since that month seems to be filled with cooking and baking at home for the family Thanksgiving.

Then on Thursday, Dec. 6 the Chit-Chatters group meet for our special Christmas themed gathering. We always have so much fun at this one as we play ‘Dirty Santa,’ which always brings

lots of laughs.

For those who love an evening outing for entertainment mark your calendar for “The Return,” a Beatles Tribute Band brought to you by Alex City Arts. It is also set for Thursday, Oct. 25 in the BRHS Auditorium.

This ‘Fab Four’ show begins at 7 p.m. and tickets will be on sale at the door from 6:30 p.m. for $15 each.

I

t was yet another wonderful day at Eagle Creek Baptist Church this past Sunday. It always is. Our pastor talked about forgiveness and peacemaking and empathy and baseball. It was a good day.

Lucy was at home laid up in the bed with a bad case of sinusitis. She was also exhausted from Abigail’s first birthday party the previous day.

I can’t believe our little miracle baby is already a year old. Anyway, Abigail and I went to church by ourselves. Since it was just daddy and daughter, she wore her jeans, just like her dad. She left her bow at home, too. She was okay with that. I left mine at home, too.

It was business as usual.

It’s like one big happy family. Really. Just about everyone in the church is related one way or another, and they welcome us in as their own. I’m sure they’d welcome you too. Just saying.

JODY FULLER Columnist Speaking of family, I met a guy just last week who told me we were cousins. When I asked how, he said that his great grandfather and my great-great grandfather were third cousins, twice removed on his step-mama’s side – or something like that. I’ll be sure to add him to the Christmas card list.

But I digress.

The music at the church is awesome! I’ve written that before in this column.

The organist and pianist have been playing together for over half a century.

The choir really brings it week in and week out, and the congregation belts out those old hymns. I love it.

Psalm 98:4-6 says, “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth;

break forth into joyous song and sing praises!

Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody!

With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord!”

Sunday morning, at our small, country church, we tried singing a newer, contemporary praise song.

The song is called “You Are My All in All.” They lyrics were beautiful and displayed for all to see but none of us knew how it went. We tried. Seriously, we tried.

It wasn’t pretty. The choir director stopped the music, so we could get readjusted. We started again. Still, not pretty. We stopped again. A “joyful noise” it was not. It was just noise on a musical slinky. I don’t know. I can’t describe it, but the good news is that we were all laughing. It was fun, and the sounds of laughter are always joyful to me.

things and good advice from my mum. She shaped my life.

When bad collections of words are broadcast throughout the nation they are more difficult to just forget and seem to stay with us. When we are told that we are ‘despicable’ because we want a great America, well that just makes me angry. I don’t like the way that groups are reported to all think the same and I really dislike being lumped into the group of women, because I know I don’t feel like ‘all’ other women. I wish we could just all be Americans, as we all live here and hope for equality. If one does not love it here, they are quite free to leave. Remember all the so-called ‘stars’

and from the middle of the choir, the pastor’s wife shouted, “Let’s just sing ‘Amazing Grace,’ a capella.”

And so, we did. We rocked that small, country church. Now that was a joyful noise. We can never go wrong with the Babe Ruth of spiritual hymns.

Never.

“Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound.”

Praise God. Praise God. You know how that bonus verse goes.

Things don’t and won’t always go as we desire – no matter how hard we try, but as long as we trust in Jesus, His amazing grace is all we’ll ever need.

Dadeville’s Jamarion Wilkerson, left, makes a catch against LaFayette during a 7-on-7 this summer.

After taking last year off, Wilkerson decided to rejoin the football team this season.

T

he Auburn Tigers’ 2018 season officially hit rock bottom on Saturday as they fell to the Tennessee Volunteers 30-24 on an absolutely gorgeous fall afternoon in the Loveliest Village.

A strong argument could be made it was an unacceptable loss.

Then again, another might retort it was more of a humiliating loss. I think we’ll just split the difference and consider it embarrassingly unsatisfactory.

It was the Vols’ first conference victory since 2016 having lost the previous 11 straight. Think that’s bad? Ole Smokey had not defeated an SEC West opponent since 2010 losing 14 straight (until Saturday).

Jeremy Pruitt is now 5-1 against Gus Malzahn as a defensive coordinator and head coach.

Tennessee was inevitably going to win an SEC game at some point. I just wish Auburn and Gus Malzahn had not been so accommodating.

The Tigers look like a team that has completely lost its confidence and that’s a difficult thing to get back this far into the season. Jarrett Stidham’s three turnovers (two interceptions, one fumble) led directly to 14 points for the Big Orange.

Sadly, Auburn played probably the best first half of the season against UT on Saturday. The offense racked up 289 total yards and 17 points.

However, continuing a common theme under Malzahn, Auburn either made no adjustments at halftime or it made the wrong adjustments.

The Tigers managed only 28 total yards of offense in the third quarter and produced zero points. To make matters worse, the intense malaise that has been infecting the offense is apparently viral and has now infiltrated the defense.

Considered by most top-10 caliber defense only a couple of weeks ago, Auburn was gutted on the ground

by Mississippi State last week and then bombed through the air

by Tennessee on Saturday. Muchmaligned Volunteer quarterback Jarrett Guarantano threw for 328 yards against the Tigers. His previous high on the season was 172 yards. He had only 322 passing yards combined against East Tennessee State & UTEP. I think even the most ardent supporter understands this season has fallen by the wayside. It’s never wise to assume victories or defeats in advance, but Auburn is staring a 5-7 season dead in the face if things continue on the current path.

With all due respect to the seniors, it’s time for the Tigers to start playing for 2019. Identify the underclassmen with the most promise at every single position and give them some quality experience going into next year. I’m certainly not advocating benching all seniors, but younger players need to play and that especially goes for the quarterback position.

As far as Gus Malzahn is concerned, the water cooler talk among fans is undoubtedly if he will be fired and paid a $30 million buyout. I still think that is very unlikely, but who knows on the Plains. I’ll be honest, I don’t think Malzahn should be bought out. I think that’s too easy. He created the mess and he should have to be the one to fix it. If he can’t fix it in three or four years, fire him and pay him $10 million if he doesn’t resign.

Auburn University did not learn the lesson from the Gene Chizik tenure.

Cutting a check to make things go away ensures the lesson will never be learned. Despite popular belief, sometimes you just have to live with the consequences of your poor decisions.

As a fan, I’m willing to endure the next four years, come what may, if it means Auburn finally learns its lesson.

Wilkerson rejoins football team after year off

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

With basketball as his main sport, Dadeville’s Jamarion Wilkerson decided to take last season off from playing football. He figured it would better prepare him to be the Tigers’ starting point guard.

And while Wilkerson did have a very successful season with the basketball team last year, there was something missing.

“I really wanted to help the team out,” Wilkerson said. “A lot of my

friends were playing too, so I just decided I might as well.”

Wilkerson also had a bug in his ear in the form of Tiger football coach Richard White.

“We kept bugging him because we needed him out here,” White said. “He’s a nice-sized kid, and he’s gonna get taller. He’s athletic and we needed his skillset out here at wide receiver.”

Although he didn’t play as a sophomore, Wilkerson is now a starting wide receiver for the Tigers and has become one of quarterback Slade McCullers’ favorite targets.

Wilkerson is second on the team with 23 receptions and 221 receiving yards.

“I think I just jumped back in it,” Wilkerson said.

In addition to being a starter on the offensive side of the ball, Wilkerson also plays in spots on defense.

“We throw him in at safety every now and then,” White said. “He didn’t really like it at first, but I think we’ve moved him into that a little bit in situations and I think he’s liking it now.

He’s more of an offensive guy though.”

Cougars down Dadeville in straight sets

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

Despite a back-and-forth battle on the volleyball court Tuesday night, the Central Coosa Cougars spoiled Dadeville’s Senior Night and walked out with a straight set victory over the Tigers, 25-22, 26-24, 25-16.

“I really encouraged them to fight for the win and try their hardest,” Dadeville coach Jenni Roy said. “I was really proud of how they worked together as a team. All the matches were close and they worked together, and that’s what I was proud of.”

Coosa coach Doris Gamble said, “Last week, Donald Campbell / The Outlook we had one of those weeks where we only had practice.

the Tigers, also competing on the track and field team during the spring. Because Dadeville graduated so many from the boys basketball team, Wilkerson will be forced into a leadership role early and often, but playing football should help with that.

Not only does playing football keep Wilkerson in shape during the offseason, which he said is the biggest advantage, it also has a lot of skills that will transfer onto the court, including running and jumping.

But for White, who is also the athletic director at Dadeville and encourages student-athletes to play multiple sports, toughness is the biggest thing Wilkerson will learn from football that’ll help him in his other sports.

“Getting knocked around is a big one,” White said.

“In basketball, he’s really a guard, but if he does have to get down there and rebound, he bangs bodies with people, which you do out here (on the football field) every time. I think that toughens him up for basketball.”

Volunteers might be jumping back onto scene

I Donald Campbell / The Outlook

Dadeville’s Areona Wilson gives the ball a solid pass Tuesday night against Central Coosa.

Volleyball knew.”

Neither team gained a major advantage during the first two sets. Instead, the early phases of the match were a back-andforth affair, with each side breaking the other’s service and hardly allowing streaks of more than one or two serves. Coosa’s largest lead in either of the two sets was six points, while the Tigers never held more than a four-point advantage over the Cougars.

However, Coosa finally put some distance between itself and Dadeville in the final frame, thanks in part to fourserve streaks from Katie Windsor and Kera Dunham and a six-serve run from Aliona McKenzie to walk out with a victory in three sets.

“Out of all three of the sets, we did struggle through the sets, but our serving was what

continued from page A8

helped us jump back, and then our serving got better,” Gamble said. “Our serving got better and we began to pass a little bit more and we had a few attacks on the net, so we sorta got in a little rhythm there.”

Despite the three-set loss, Roy felt her team showed a lot of fight the entire night and was proud to see them not hang their heads and give in when things started to go south.

“I think they overcame a lot of adversity within the games, never letting it get too far apart, keeping the score close,” Roy said. “I was just really proud of them and the effort they gave. I think our girls kept a good head on themselves and never gave up and that’s all I could ask for out of them.”

As both the Cougars and

the Tigers prepare for their final matches before the area tournament, both Roy and Gamble felt there were positive things to take away from Tuesday night’s match, as well as negative things to be addressed.

“I’ve got a ton of things we’re talking about,” Gamble said. “We didn’t do a good job of covering off of our blocks.

We didn’t line up very well on those. Our timing was off, and on our serve receiving, we were really poor on serve receive tonight.”

Roy said, “We just have to keep fighting. It’s just all about keeping on. We really just are gonna continue to keep working on our game and playing it tight, together. Our idea is to stay humble over hype. Our attitude is what we really keep most important.”

t’s been a minute since Tennessee beat Alabama on the gridiron.

Well, several minutes. Well more than 9 million minutes, actually.

Chances are that fact won’t change this coming Saturday, either. Despite Tennessee’s stunning upset of Auburn last weekend, the Volunteers probably don’t have the horses to run a race with the Tide. However, after a decade of wallowing in an orange haze, the University of Tennessee may — may — be a competitive force in the SEC again in the near future.

I don’t want to read too much into the Vols beating Auburn (since the Gus Bus has seen the wheels roll off, the transmission fall out and the GPS system go haywire), but the UT I saw Saturday showed signs of life.

And while a simple “beep” on the EKG doesn’t equate to greatness, it is certainly more than what the Vols have been showing lately.

Now, I know Tennessee and ‘Bama have a pretty heated history. Some fans even consider UT a bigger rival than Auburn (for the record, I don’t).

Common sense and sheer fandom dictates I should, as a ’Bama fan, always hope for the worst for the Big Orange. However, I am actually slightly glad to see Tennessee near the limelight again.

College football is built on a foundation of rivalries. Ohio State v. Michigan, Texas v. Oklahoma, Georgia v. Florida, etc. The sport is just better when these games are in doubt prior to kickoff. For the last 11 years, the only “doubt” in the Alabama-Tennessee game was whether the Tide would cover the Vegas spread.

This Saturday’s contest will probably be no different. One has to assume Tennessee can’t put up the same gaudy numbers through the air against the Tide as the Vols did against AU. Even if they could, Tua Tagovailoa and/or Jalen Hurts could easily match and surpass the Tennessee offensive attack.

But, the times may be a-changin’ … And that’s a good thing for football fans.

As a post script to this short column, I want to add I was happy for Tennessee on Saturday and its coach Jeremy Pruitt. He is a good, genuine guy that deserved this victory. For just a second, I put aside the TennesseAlabma rivalry and cheered, “Go Big Orange!”

Then I saw Phil Fulmer on the UT sidelines, clapping and smiling and reveling in the moment. Memories of how Fulmer once did all he could to ruin the Alabama program came flooding back. Later, a video surfaced with Fulmer leading a team song in the locker room. The lyrics were how Tennessee “doesn’t give a damn about the whole state of Alabama.” I regretted being a Vol fan even if for only a second.

So, while the body of this article was to point out college football’s health is more vibrant with strong rivals, I am officially ready to extend the ’Bama winning streak Saturday in glorious fashion.

on Lindsey Road in Eclectic.

Michael Holton served as the mayor of Eclectic for two years, and stepped down from his position in 2014, citing family issues. At the time of the murders, April Holton had filed for divorce about a month earlier.

Madison Holton was later indicted for the murder of his father, but an Elmore County grand jury dismissed his charge for the murder of his mother.

Elmore County Sheriff Bill Franklin said the ECSO received a call from Michael Holton at about 4 p.m. on Sept. 11, 2016, telling deputies that Madison Holton had thrown a party and “trashed” their house.

Franklin said deputies arrived to find Michael Holton on the front yard and Madison Holton handcuffed on the couch inside, and discovered

drug paraphernalia during a search of the house.

Franklin said deputies received a call less than 30 minutes later, after Madison Holton went to a neighbor and called police to return to the house.

When authorities arrived at the Holton residence again, both of Madison Holton’s parents had been shot in the head. Michael Holton was found dead, and April Holton later died from her injuries in a Montgomery hospital.

In earlier news reports, some of Madison Holton’s maternal relatives have maintained his innocence. April Holton’s brother and father, Michael Evans and Charles Owenby, have publicly stated that April Holton’s death was the result of a murder-suicide, in which Michael Holton shot his wife and then himself.

It’s time to inspect your home’s chimney

By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer

Central Alabama was spared the brunt of Hurricane Michael, but the storm did usher in cooler weather for the area and professionals say there is still time to service those chimneys before the cooler weather settles in.

Over time, chemicals can build up inside of a home’s chimney and that buildup can cause serious safety hazards if left unchecked.

“If you don’t have your chimney inspected and cleaned, then you could have a chimney fire,” Soot Masters Chimney Sweeps’ Susan Crawley said.

Homeowners are encouraged to call a professional chimney

sweep for an annual chimney inspection before the first use of the season. Only a qualified professional will be able to identify and resolve maintenance issues.

“Build up and creosote in the chimney could cause it to catch on fire,” Crawley said.

Creosote is a category of carbonaceous chemicals formed by the distillation of various tars and pyrolysis of plant-derived material, such as wood or fossil fuel. They are typically used as preservatives or antiseptics.

During an inspection, each component of the chimney should be examined.

“It’s also important to have the chimney

pipes inspected because if any storms have come through and shifted that over on to the structure, that could radiate out and cause a house fire as well,” Crawley said. “The CSIA, the Chimney Safety Institute of America, recommends that you have it inspected annually and swept as necessary.”

A chimney inspection is considered routine maintenance but often homeowners wait until the last minute to schedule the service. While chimney sweeps are busier than ever right now, homeowners are encouraged to schedule an appointment to have the homes inspected for any potential safety concerns.

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You seem to go where the unexpected occurs. Use caution with any Ă&#x201E;nancial decisions. Do not overthink an oÉ&#x2C6;er at the moment. You might need to lessen your load rather than take on more responsibilities. Consider this possibility, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll begin to mellow out. Tonight: Out late.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your determination could be met by someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stubbornness. It might be easier and more eÉ&#x2030;cient to go along with this personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes, unless you Ă&#x201E;nd his or her ideas impossible. Your response is likely to surprise many people. Tonight: Could go until the wee hours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Reach out to someone who helps you see the big picture. You could be taken aback by what you see when you let go of being right. Armed with more understanding, you can Ă&#x201E;nd a midpoint of agreement between yourself and others. Tonight: Make it OK to be self-indulgent.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Come to an agreement with others.

You will see a situation much diÉ&#x2C6;erently if you can walk away from your position. A meeting could surprise you with its agenda. The topic might not feel as on-target as you might like. Flow with the moment. Tonight: Make time for a friend.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could feel as if you are being pulled in diÉ&#x2C6;erent directions. You might Ă&#x201E;nd that you enjoy yourself more and become less and less invested in what you see as problems.

Consider being less available to diÉ&#x2030;cult people. Tonight: Accept an appealing invitation to a party.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out to a loved one at a distance who understands you well. This personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments could open you up to another perspective.

Caring evolves as others witness your attempt to understand where they are coming from. Open up to a possible change. Tonight: Exercise Ă&#x201E;rst.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be confused by someone with whom you felt you had a steady agreement. Suddenly uproar occurs.

You can do very little to return to what was, nor should you want to.

Release what is frivolous or unneeded, and proceed. Tonight: Time for some fun and games.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might Ă&#x201E;nd that a friend suddenly becomes unstable. Do not wonder what is needed. Let go, and allow this person to be who he or she is. Sometimes everyone needs to break free of constraints -self-imposed or otherwise. Express understanding. Tonight: Head home early.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Open up to a new idea that could invigorate your life and make it much more exciting. At Ă&#x201E;rst this possibility could shake you up. The more you think about it, the more enthusiastic you become. Do not push another person away. Tonight: Invite a favorite person to join you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A child or new friend topples your sense of well-being with his or her unpredictability. Rather than react, take a hard look at what is occurring and let go of the unneeded.

Sometimes diÉ&#x2030;culties stem from too much to do and from being overwhelmed. Tonight: Pay bills Ă&#x201E;rst.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You feel diÉ&#x2C6;erently than you have in a while. A shake-up, while upsetting, frees you up to do what you really want. If you are not sure of your true desires, take some time to re-evaluate. Encourage simpliĂ&#x201E;cation. Tonight: Surround yourself with people you value and trust.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You make an eÉ&#x2C6;ort by reaching out to others. Though everyone might not respond, you could hear news that is likely to shock you. Relax and allow the situation to unfold naturally; soon you will realize what is motivating or triggering it. Tonight: Get a good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep.
