Lending a hand
City officials recently announced details for the sale of the Guest House, which was declared surplus property during the Sept. 24 city council meeting. The property will be sold through a sealed bid process. The property is being offered as-is with “no warranties whatsoever.” However, interested parties can schedule an appointment to view the property. Once the bid process closes, the Tallassee City Council will review submitted bids during the Nov. 13 council meeting. This is the same process city officials utilized to sell Seven Gables, another historic property that the city once owned and operated as a rental venue. Both properties have well known historic backgrounds. The Guest House recently appraised for $340,000. However, it could sell for far less. Seven Gables appraised for 497,000 but sold See BIDS • Page A2

Residents of Tallassee have a big heart, which is a fact that has been proven time and again. Now it is two of the townspeople who are in need of help and a group of Tallassee alumni is stepping up to lend a hand with a Boston butt fundraiser this Saturday from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. at Suzannah’s Photography, located at 305 James St. “The Tallassee High School Class of 1981 is raising money to help Tony and Lee Ann Mann,” event coordinator and THS class of 1981’s Suzannah Wilson said. “Many Tallassee people will know Tony

The storm strengthened rapidly once it moved into the warmer waters in the Gulf of Mexico and many had little time to prepare.

Bids

for $217,000. However, the Guest House comes with 21 acres of land, which is considerably more than the Seven Gables property, and according to the city attorney, John Smith, “You’re more likely to get closer to fair market value with raw land than you are for the land that has the two structures on it.” The decision to sell comes after mayor Johnny Hammock approached the council last year to explain the financial burdens of owning and operating the historic property. “The city loses money every year just to keep the doors open for weddings, parties and other special events,” Hammock explained. Now that the bid process is open, city officials hope to sign the property over to another party in the near future. Those who are interested in owning this historic property can submit a sealed bid to the Tallassee City Clerk Barbara Garnett, by noon on Nov. 7. For more information call (334) 283-6571.

Evacuees The couple found themselves in the tiny community of Red Hill where they met two local women, Tina Yankey Brooks and Debra McLain, who brightened their day during a very dark time. “We stopped at the gas station to get some soda and she saw us,” McGee said. “We looked like a mess. We looked like we were from Florida. She asked if we were evacuees.” Fitzgerald is a well-known disk jockey, known as Fitzdog for 95.9 Classic Rock out of the Mexico Beach area who found himself unemployed during the worst possible time. “My husband’s company dissolved and fired all of the employees because they didn’t want to deal with the cleanup,” McGee said. Uncertain of what the future held, McGee told Brooks they needed cash more than anything. Yankey came through with cash for the couple, but she had also overheard Fitzgerald asking for directions to a thrift store. The couple had to leave the hurricane-ravaged area hastily and with five family pets in tow, had limited space for necessities. “I asked what he was needing from the store,” Yankey said. “He said they weren’t expecting it to be so cool up here and needed some sweatshirts.” Brooks reached out to friends that she calls “God’s angels” and together they bought the couple warm clothing and gave
continued from page A1
them $500. “I made a few phone calls on my way to Walmart and a couple of angels gave me $540 cash and money to help get them some clothes,” she said. “We were able to get them a couple of sweat suits and a jacket each along with a few other things.” Yankey’s generosity didn’t stop there. She and her “angels” are collecting supplies for the couple, with Tractor Supply Store on Gilmer Avenue in Tallassee as the drop off point. They are asking for items like bottled water, batteries of all sizes, work gloves, flashlights, tarps and other essential items. The couple says they have made a lifelong connection and are very appreciative of what Brooks and all of her “angels” have done for them. “When everything is done and I have rebuilt my little guest house, she will be the first one to come to stay in it. We are friends for life,” Fitzgerald said. The couple says everyone they encountered while in the area has been very welcoming. Their temporary neighbor, Dr. Mark Lindsey of Montgomery, has also offered a helping hand and a tasty treat during the unexpected stay in Alabama. “He’s not taking any more patients but he noticed this thing on my arm and asked me to come into his office so he can check it out,” he said. “Who does that? What kind of doctor
does that? He’s just such a great guy. He even brought us some honey. He makes honey and brought us a jar of it last night.” With great short-term neighbors and an entire community rallying behind them, it’s now a wait-and-see for the couple. “We have applied for FEMA and adjusters are coming to look at our home, which is destroyed. We are trying to apply for whatever aid we can find. We are working with creditors so that we can conserve what money we have,” McGee said. Right now the couple is staying in a friend’s vacation home on Lake Martin but they hope to go back to the Mexico Beach area and get back to some sense of normalcy as quickly as possible. “We are trying to find some kind of housing closer to home so that we can help our community and work on our home. At this point, we are grasping for whatever. It was a blow we weren’t prepared for. People can’t work, can’t pay their bills. I don’t how to put it. It’s like your life is just gone,” McGee said. “There’s nothing there. There’s no electricity, no water, no sewage, no food, no gas, but that’s our home and that’s what we are trying to get back to.” For those who would like to help, the couple has set up a GoFundMe account at https:// www.gofundme.com/tammymcgee-family-hurricane-aid

City to plant new Christmas trees this week File / The Tribune
City officials say it’s time to replace the Christmas Trees at Bell Park, Veterans Park, and the Community Library after outliving their use. The new trees are Momi Firs, which grow at a much slower rate than the previous trees and should serve their purpose for a longer period of time.
By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
As October moves along, city officials are looking ahead to the Christmas holidays. In order to make Christmas enjoyable, city officials are replacing the city’s Christmas trees. “The tree in front of city hall in Veterans Park has outlived its usefulness,� said Tallassee mayor Johnny Hammock. “The tree at Bell Park is dead and the tree at the library has also outlived its usefulness.� According to Hammock, the Christmas tree at Veterans Park and the library has become unmanageable and too big for city employees to decorate safely. The new trees will be furnished by a local nursery at a discount. “A local nursery, 3 a.m. Growers, is giving us one tree and offering the other two trees at a discounted price,� he said. With the official Christmas tree lighting less than two months away, there is little time to spare in planting the new trees. “We plan on planting them this Wednesday,� said Hammock. The new trees will be Momi Firs, which is a species native to central and southern Japan, growing at low to moderate altitudes of 50-1600 meters or 150-5,000 feet. It is a mediumto large evergreen coniferous tree growing to 160 ft. tall and six and a half feet in diameter, with a broad conical crown of straight branches rising at an angle of about 20° above horizontal. The bark is scaly greybrown, with resin blisters on young trees. According to Hammock the slower growth rate of the Momi Fir will allow the city to utilize the new trees for much longer than those in the past.
Halloween sure it’s people you trust. Make sure you know the area,� Tallassee police chief Matthew Higgins said. Several local churches and organizations have scheduled other events for those looking seeking an alternative to going door to door to trick or treat. “There are a lot of churches in the area that have trunk or treat or festivals and we encourage parents to take children to those because those are the safest bet these days.� Whether you choose to go door-todoor or join in the festivities elsewhere,
continued from page A1
Higgins asked everyone who is on the road to put safety above all. “We encourage everyone to be safe and slow down while driving, be mindful of the surroundings, and watch out for the little ones because they may be dressed in costumes that can make it difficult to see them,� he said. In addition, parents are encouraged to inspect candy before allowing children to consume it. “It’s always best,� Higgins said. “It could be a flaw in packaging so just take a minute and examine the candy.� There are a few other safety tips that
parents should keep in mind during Halloween and to help ensure adults and children have a safe holiday, the American Academy of Pediatrics has compiled a list of safety tips. All costumes, wigs, and accessories should be fire-resistant. Avoid masks that can obstruct vision. If children are allowed out after dark, fasten reflective tape to their costumes and bags, or give them glow sticks. When buying Halloween makeup, make sure it is nontoxic and always test it in a small area first. Remove all makeup before children go to bed to

THE TALLASSEE TRIBUNE
Football 2018: Sometimes, classy behavior still shows up T his fall, a plethora of personal projects has precluded an active effort (for lack of a better term) by yours truly in following football all that closely. That said, there have been some interesting incidents that have happened on the field that might need to be cited from a peripheral point of view. Let’s start locally. This year’s Tallassee High School team is acquitting itself well in Coach Mike Battles Jr.’s seventh season at the helm. What’s particularly noteworthy is that the Tigers are once again in the 5A classification instead of 4A. Such pingpong categorization, which began in 2006, has at times probably made coaches and fans think they needed to take a Dramamine tablet, but regardless of the school size of its opponents, the THS team has participated in the playoffs in all six of Battles’ previous seasons here and as of this writing, they’re poised to do it again this year. College football began with a bit of different hoopla when several perennial also-rans
such as Stanford, Syracuse, and Kentucky made impressive starts. After UK beat South Carolina on Sept. 29, a sportscaster who was covering the game was yowling a nearmantra of “Kentucky is 5-0” not unlike Howard Cosell’s staccato repetition of “down goes Frazier” in 1973. The NCAA’s targeting regulations (and the penalties that accompany them) seemed to be a bit more complicated than some fans might have originally expected. The rules aren’t just about helmet-tohelmet contact, although that action is usually the most obvious violation. Replays of actions that generated targeting penalties are mandatory, and a lot of observers might think that some of the calls are controversial, since slow-motion review makes some of them appear to be oh-so-close. That said, the kinetic-andcollision forces of football validates the necessity of such regulations. If there’s some kind of lexicon or handbook regarding NCAA rules and penalties,
WILLIE MOSELEY Columnist
and said booklet or whatever lists violations in alphabetical order, it stands to reason that “taunting” immediately follows “targeting.” A list of taunting penalties can be sussed out online, and they all make sense. However, while any example of taunting isn’t classy, there’s one facet of such malevolent buffoonery for which there apparently isn’t any penalty, apparently because the individuals being dissed are spectators, not opposing team members or officials. Therefore, fans in the stands technically aren’t, er, interacting with the participants on the field, other than rooting for and against teams in a vociferous manner. However, it still strikes a casual observer as corny when a player makes a touchdown (often in a spectacular manner), and he faces the opponents’ fans in the stands and raises an
index finger to his face mask in a “shhh” pantomime. Some years ago, this space speculated that opposing fans are probably responding to a “shhh” diss with a single-digit salute of their own, albeit with a different finger. The “shhh” performances continue in 2018, and one wishes that college coaches would simply instruct their charges to refrain from such taunting. Players may be able to get away with it, but it ain’t right. As for pro football, Colin Kaepernick is still unemployed on his own volition, but he’s been making donations to certain organizations and causes. Such “charity” will reportedly total a million dollars, which is why the “sacrificing everything” line in Nike’s ad campaign featuring Kaepernick is fraudulent. I know several persons who, for numerous reasons (including Kaepernick’s actions), are abstaining from viewing pro football once again this year, or at least, they’re monitoring the games of only one team that’s a personal favorite.
Controversies aside, there can still be moments of simple class exhibited on the gridiron, and the keystone example so far this season was the response to the head injury of a Tennessee State player, in a game against Vanderbilt on Sept. 29. Linebacker Cristion Abercrombie collapsed on the sidelines, and as of last Saturday, was still in critical condition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Immediately following that game, the head coaches of both teams called their players into a prayer circle in the middle of the field. Subsequent actions honoring Abercrombie have happened in ensuing games. For example, his initials and jersey number were on decals on the helmets of both Murray State and TSU players on Oct. 13. That’s class. Such laudable behavior ought to be practiced and experienced more often than taunting and showboating.

Bird republishes column in light of Moseley’s ‘current fame’ This “Bird’s Eye View” originally appeared in The Tallassee Tribune in 2007. In light of Willie G. Moseley’s current fame as the author of the complete guide to all things Atlanta Rhythm Section, here is another look at an earlier tribute to a local icon.
T
he Central Alabama area has been blessed to be home base for dozens, perhaps hundreds, of famous people. In the past couple of weeks, I have had the opportunity to interview two people on my radio program who have made significant contributions to the musical culture of this region. This past Saturday, Eddie Wohlford was the guest on my show. For those who have lived around here long enough, you’ve seen Eddie on television, and you’ve heard him play at restaurants and lounges through the years. I had never met Eddie, but invited him to be a guest on my program to discuss his latest gig performing at Dabbo’s Restaurant in Montgomery. What I got was a history lesson about the music of the river region. Eddie began to describe his background, how he initially planned to be a band director or a music minister for a church. His plans changed, and he hit the road with a folk/rock band called Harvest. Wohlford played with many musicians we’d know from this area, such as Beth Nielsen Chapman, and some who live around here, such as George McCain, but I will share the story of Harvest’s most famous alum. Tommy Shaw performed with Harvest all over the place, but
MICHAEL BIRD Columnist their regular gig was at Keglers Kove, a bar next to Bama Lanes in Montgomery. Tommy was contacted by a rock group in Chicago named Styx, who had begun their ascent to stardom thanks to a single called “Lady.” Shaw hopped the Delta flight to Chicago, and was picked up at O’Hare airport by Styx’s personal assistant, Greg Budell. And the Montgomery boy made good; his song “Crystal Ball” headlined the next LP released. The truly interesting fact is that Greg Budell went on to become a disc jockey, and he now lives and works in Montgomery, Ala. where the only person he’d known before from Montgomery was Tommy Shaw. Small world. Eddie was interesting enough, but I have to give credit to someone who provided me with more details and tidbits than my brain could handle: Tallassee’s own Willie G. Moseley. Willie G. Moseley, as you know, does a great job writing for this very newspaper. Some of you may also know that he is an avid vintage guitar collector, and in his spare time he writes a monthly column for Vintage Guitar magazine. This is a worthy accomplishment, as he is in constant contact with some of the greatest guitar gods of the rock era and is the envy of those who wish they could meet or play with some
of these people. Moseley has written an outstanding new book, titled “Heart of Dixie: Everyman Observations of a Transitional South.” It was released at Tallassee Trade Day, but I was fortunate to receive an advance copy. For anyone who grew up in this area, Moseley’s book is a mustread. You will learn about the hopes and dreams of a rock band called the K-Otics, who competed headto-head (and single-to-single) with the Swingin’ Medallions on a song called, “Double Shot of My Baby’s Love.” The life of being a little fish in a big pond, or, as it were, an extra in “Big Fish,” is described with thrilling, page-turning detail, particularly as Moseley crosses paths with some real celebrities past and present. There are recollections of the Jim Crow south, and its lasting repercussions. You will also read the greatest description of a LeeLanier football game I’ve ever read, from an eyewitness who is a lot closer to the game than you’d expect. The night before Willie G. Moseley appeared on my radio show, Lanier beat Lee at Cramton Bowl. It only seemed appropriate, given that his book was written with the heart of a poet. Each word in Moseley’s book speaks volumes, and the prose is such that it’s like he’s sitting in the room talking with you. I loved it, and I recommend you read it, as well.

The Shorty Price story
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, 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 sixfoot 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.

Things around that make up my house
I
’ll have to go back more than 20 years to tell you about my house. At 33 or so years ago my boy went to Reeltown and found himself a bride. He brought her home and life changed altogether around the Brantley household. As years went by and three children later, I decided it was time to go in a different direction. “I’m going to build me a house,” I said. We drew some plans on notebook paper and started to work. I had been saving up some things I wanted in this house to make it my home. I had the mantel board that came out of mama’s house. This is the mantle that we hung our stockings on at Christmas. There was always a can of Sir Walter Raleigh pipe tobacco sitting there and a jar of Bruton Snuff. This mantel was over the fireplace that kept us warm in the winter. I have one large room in my house that acts as a den, living room, and kitchen. One wall is made from mill wood from Mt. Vernon Mills. To plane this lumber, we first had to get the travelers out. If you worked in the mill you should know what travelers are. There was a little shack like house that sat where I was going to build my house, built before 1900s and only had two rooms.
RONALD BRANTLEY Columnist We used the twelve-inch boards for another wall. When they tore the teacherage down on King Street, I got some of the floor joist and planed them down and made two big kitchen tables, one for my son Ronnie’s house and the other for mine. I cleaned off a bunch of the flooring at the teacherage and hauled a load of floor joist home. When I got back someone had already got the others. I had enough for two tables though. I first joined the church at Friendship when I was 16 years old. Years later they wanted new lighting, so they sold the old hangdown globe lights to members for the price of the new lights. I bought one; little did I know at the time that the old light that I bought would someday hang over my kitchen sink. My pantry was built by Ronnie and you would have to see it to appreciate it. My pots hang from the ceiling on a rack. The holders came from the Girdner’s Quick Freeze in Jordanville. On my walls are drawings of the Alabama covered bridges
that I made as I visited each one years ago and a huge painting of the Roseman covered bridge that Ronnie brought back from Iowa after he visited Winterset, the town that inspired the movie “Bridges of Madison County.” There is a dial-type phone that hung from the wall in the Coffeebreak trailer where we made and broadcasted the Coffeebreak TV show for 16 years. Also, there’s a Gene Autry cap gun that came from Gene Autry, Okla. and my family Bible is in a showcase that was built by Billy Jack Lindsey as a housewarming gift when I moved in to this house. Two Adirondack chairs built by the late Stell Rape, a dear friend of many years ago, are on the front porch. There is one bedroom, a huge bathroom that also serves as my laundry room and a sunroom that runs the length of the back of my house. That covers part of it but not all of it. You haven’t seen the martin gourds, the fish pond, the donkeys or our dog Scout yet. The next best thing is to say, y’all come to see me now and then.

Letters to the Editor
Don’t get shut out on election day Dear Editor, In the Georgia governor’s race 53,000 new voter registration applications are “on hold” in the office of Georgia’s white secretary of state Brian Kemp who is running for governor against the progressive African American former state representative Stacey Abrams. Seventy percent of the registrations now on hold are from black voters and they have not been informed that their applications are on hold. This should serve as a wakeup call for voters everywhere. Your vote is your voice and this is another example of how
Republican controlled legislatures in some states have decided that certain voices must not be heard. Those voices include African Americans, Hispanics and other people of color; low-income workers and young people (especially the college educated). Election roadblocks and outright voter suppression came in many forms. In addition to implementing photo ID requirements, early voting and church sponsored initiatives such as “Souls to the Polls” have been targeted in some states because they tend to benefit low-income workers and people of color. Furthermore, attempts have been made to intentionally reduce
the number of polling places in low-income or minority areas and in some states college students are not allowed to register using their school address or their student IDs are no longer accepted. The deadline to register in Alabama is Oct. 22, and I encourage all citizens to be proactive regarding their voting rights. You can check your registration status online at Sos.alabama.gov/alabama-votes or contact the Elmore County Board of Registrars at 334567-1150 if you have questions. Michael E. Waters Elmore
Reader says wake up to what is happening to us Dear Editor, People are getting too big for themselves. They think they are much better than anybody else, but they are very wrong. We need to stop and think of how we would feel if someone was really mean to us for no reason at all. I am going to give some great scriptures to read for everybody’s own good. Read Luke 18: 9, 11 and 12. Also read Romans 2: 1 through 3. It upsets me a lot when all you can hear is so-and-so did this or that. We are not to go around
repeating what we hear that is bad. Make sure what you hear is true. We are not to go around talking about other people unless it’s something good. Look around at all the murders we are having today, on account of people not caring for other people. My husband and I were at the boat landing. We were feeding the ducks and geese. We had six or eight small children come where we were, and one of the little boys asked, “May I have some bread? Thank you.” They would say thank you and give the others some of the bread. Those were the most precious children I have seen in a
long time. People need to get back to real life with teaching our children. Most children don’t know anything but their old (iPads) and things to play all these crazy games of shooting and murdering. Someone gave me a boat full of crazy games and movies, but I wouldn’t give them to my great-grandchildren. I didn’t like the look of them. Our children, down to our great-grandchildren, are not going to know how to do anything for themselves. Betty Wesson Wetumpka

Girl Scouts’ Daisy registration opens; troop leaders still needed By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
It is time for the local Girl Scouts to start meeting again and local organizers are looking for girls who are interested in joining the organization. “Girl Scout Daisy Troop #9746 will start meeting this month,” troop leader Kami Scarborough said. “The daisy troop is currently signing up daisies, kindergarten through first grade. Meetings will be held once a month.” While the Daisies are ready for
registration, the other membership levels are not because the organization is still in need of volunteers to serve as troop leaders. There are five membership levels beginning with Daisy and ending with Ambassadors. However, only the Daisies have a troop leader for the upcoming year. This could be bad news for the older girls who would like to join the organization. According to organizers, this volunteer organization supports girls and young women across the country
represented on the uniform by a small, golden, six-pointed membership star, with colored background discs that represent a level. According to Girls Scouts of America, adults, both men and women, can join the organization and participate as leaders or in other volunteer roles. Adult volunteers do not need to have a child in the program in order to volunteer. For more information about the program, contact Scarborough at kamiscarborough@gmail.com
from all backgrounds. “At Girl Scouts, your girl will prepare for a lifetime of leadership, success, and adventure in a safe, no-limits place designed for and by girls,” Scarborough said. Girls are placed in the appropriate level of Girl Scouts based on their grade level on Oct 1, the start of each new Girl Scout year. There are exceptions for “special needs” but Girl Scouts who are “young in grade” have not been specifically considered. Each year of membership in scouting is
With cooler temps ahead, 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,” she 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.

so if you can carve out a few hours perhaps one day/week to come help on a weekly basis we would love for you to stop by. The thrift store is a great place to help and the volunteers there are truly a tight-knit Volunteer Family! If you are interested but want more info, just email the shelter at hselco@bellsouth.net or send a Facebook message to the shelter (Humane Society of Elmore County). The thrift store has its own Facebook page: Tail’s End Thrift Store for the Humane Society of Elmore County. Volunteering in our Thrift Store is helping our animals as all of the proceeds from sales there come straight to our shelter to help our funding and our work caring for more than 300 animals every day. And you can always come over for a break from the Thrift Store to visit our pets and see how your efforts are making a positive difference. For everyone who donates and shops at our thrift store, please also thank our volunteers for their endless hard work on behalf of all the pets we want to help now and long into the future.

ers came through in a huge way! Thank you to everyone who dropped food by, had it shipped to us from Amazon, Chewy and Walmart, and donated money, as we are now back to a healthy level of dog food on hand for the 142 dogs in our care right now. As a non-profit organization there are two groups of people critical to our success – donors and volunteers. We are truly blessed with a huge support base and are humbled by the support we receive on a daily basis. But we don’t just sit back as we work very hard at fund-raising through multiple venues, the most important being our Tail’s End Thrift Store. Our store is actually a quite large and very labor-intensive operation that is run 100 percent by Volunteers. Besides being open for shopping three days a week (Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.) there is work to be done on other days sorting, pricing and moving donations so this means there are Volunteer opportunities throughout the week. To help spread the work load we would love to bring in additional volunteers,

What’s in your heart?
“I
desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.” (Psalm 40:8) Remember the credit card ads about a group of traveling Vikings? The company touted the perks and benefits of using their card, showing the misadventures of the Vikings in modern day settings. The ads told us that our lives would be greatly enhanced by charging our purchases on their card, and that it’s foolish to risk your happiness by carrying the competition’s card. The tagline of the commercials, always delivered by one of the Vikings, asks, “What’s in your wallet?” Today I have a more important question for you: What’s in your heart? What’s in your heart matters infinitely more than what’s in your wallet. I’m skeptical about a particular credit card’s ability to enrich your life and save you from disaster. (Credit
cards typically do the opposite of those things.) But I’m confident that having the right thing in your heart will bless you in many significant ways. Now since you’re reading the Faith column, you probably have some interest in spiritual things. You may answer the question, saying, “Jesus is in my heart” or “God’s love is in my heart.” That’s good. Or maybe you’re really sharp and you noticed the text at the beginning of this article, and your answer is, “I know. God’s law is in my heart.” But how can I really know what’s in my heart? How can you know what’s in yours? It might require Superman’s x-ray vision to look inside your closed wallet to see what credit card is in there. A doctor could use some fancy medical equipment to look inside my body and see some things about my physical heart. But what’s in
MIKE MCELROY East Tallassee Church of Christ our spiritual heart shows up in very visible ways. Jesus said that what’s in your heart shows up in your life. It shows up in your speech: “How can you speak good when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34). Suppose you go to one of those restaurants where they let you get your own drink. You fill your super-size cup, right up to the brim, with good ol’ sweet tea. As you walk to your seat, you trip over your shoelace and spill your entire drink onto a very large gentleman who does not seem very happy to make your acquaintance. That’s not buttermilk dripping off his
from it flow the springs of life” (Proverbs 4:23). It is foolish to program your heart (and thus your life) with the degrading filth and meaningless trivia of the world. Your heart can be the best defense against temptation and sin if it’s programmed with the right information: “I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you” (Psalm 119:11). The devil’s lie is less persuasive when our hearts are full and content with God’s truth. Would you be blessed and satisfied? What’s in your heart? Would you avoid the heartbreak and ruin of falling into sin? What’s in your heart? Would you draw near to God? What’s in your heart? It is well worth the time and effort to store God’s word in there. Deeper faith, brighter hope and greater strength can be yours by having his word in your heart.
ears and chin, is it? No, it’s sweet tea. What a vessel is filled with is what spills out when it’s jostled. It shows up in evil thoughts and actions: “For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person” (Mark 7:21-23). We don’t like to think these sins (some reprehensible to us, some tolerated in ourselves) could be coming from our heart, do we? Surely some external force, some inescapable situation caused us to do those ungodly things. Jesus said, “No. When you do that, it’s coming out of your own heart.” No wonder Solomon counseled, “Keep your heart with all diligence, for

HOOPS ON HORIZON
LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
It’s time for Eli Manning to go
T
his has become a heated debate over the last several days. After Eli Manning and the New York Giants were absolutely demolished by a Philadelphia Eagles team that isn’t exactly looking like the defending Super Bowl champions, the question of when the Giants will part ways will Manning has become the fodder of talking heads and columnists all over. So, I’ll take my stab at it. I’m a big Eli Manning fan, to be honest. Having to come after brother Peyton Manning and live up to the hype of father Archie Manning, nothing about Eli’s path to success was easy. While people say opportunities are given to those with connections — and yes, that is true — in Eli’s case, he had to know he was getting into a lifetime of, “But is he as good as Peyton?” It’s really hard to compare the Manning brothers. Eli has won two Super Bowls while it took Peyton his whole career to match that total, but Peyton was named the league’s MVP an incredible five times — more than any player in the history of the NFL — and Eli never earned the honor. Statistically, it’s difficult to compare because Peyton played from 1998 to 2015, while Eli has been playing since only 2004, so his big brother has a few years on Eli. But Peyton does lead in career completion percentage, passing yards and touchdowns, rushing yards and touchdowns, according to Sports Reference. Eli does have fewer interceptions, but not by much considering the number of years they’ve both played. Either way, regardless of how Eli compares to Peyton, he’s still a fine quarterback. He’s been a staple for the Giants for years, led them to a pair of Super Bowls and has been a fantasy football players’ dream. Confession: The only reason the Eli Manning debate interests me is because Drew Brees was on a bye so I had to use Eli as my starter Thursday night and already my prospects for winning this week are not looking good. Eli finished with 10.24 points on Yahoo. For a fantasy football quarterback, that’s embarrassing. I have kickers who do better than that. Anyway, back to the point. Eli Manning has done wonders for the Giants. He started in 210 consecutive regular season games up until last season, and no matter what you say about a player, if he’s getting more than 13 years worth of starts, he’s doing something right. Back before the 2017 season, Eli said he planned to play until he was 40. That gave him four more years in a Giants uniform. New York must have believed in him, as it extended his contract until 2019. But with Manning’s dismal start to the year, it’s time for the Giants to part ways. Not only is New York 1-5 to start the season, but Manning’s numbers speak for themselves. He’s hit the 300 passing yard mark only once this season, and he’s thrown four See ARBOGAST • Page B5
Area basketball teams begin practice as season nears By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Monday marked the official start of the season for winter sports at that meant players made their way to the basketball court for the first practice of the year. With one month to go before games begin, several teams had to deal with missing players as fall sports wrap up but it did not stop the excitement from showing. “There’s a lot of excitement coming off the area championship,” Tallassee coach Keiven Mixson said. “It makes it tough having to prepare for the first six or eight games without the football players but I think it makes you better.” The Tigers won eight of their final nine games last season and finished 14-12 before losing just three seniors from last year’s squad. However, Tallassee was missing three players who will be with the football team until the end of the season. Mixson said the team is focusing on fundamentals as the Tigers start their practice shorthanded. Tallassee still had 11 players at its first practice as the team works through defense and fast break drills before starting to put in the game plan and set plays. The Tallassee girls team had to deal with some missing players of its own but new coach Terrel Brown said it was important to get out for practice. “It was great to finally have the team out on the court,” Brown said. “We had nine girls at the first practice and three more playing volleyball.” Brown said he uses the first week of practice to work on fundamentals and conditioning to get the team into game shape. The Tigers are expected to play a fast pace game which includes a full-court press and Brown said they’re going to need every girl on the roster. The Tigers begin the season with a road trip to Auburn and Brown said the team is already showing excitement for the challenge. “What a way to welcome me back to coaching,” Brown said. “But the girls have shown no fear and that gets me excited to coach a team that is not afraid.” Elmore County coach Rodney Taylor said the team will continue to focus on See HOOPS • Page B2

After losing its region opener to Greenville, Tallassee has responded with three consecutive wins in Class 5A Region 2, including last week’s victory at Rehobeth. The Tigers have back-to-back wins since the team’s bye week and will look to extend their winning streak to three games for the first time this season on Friday night. Tallassee will be celebrating Senior Night this week when it hosts Charles Henderson. “It’s very important but not for the players or coaches,” Tallassee coach Mike Battles said. “It’s important for all of those people that those seniors will have out there and all the people that made it possible for those young men to come out and play football. It’s for all of us to express our thanks.” Tallassee (5-2, 3-1) will hope there is a little something extra to celebrate on Friday. With a victory, the Tigers will clinch See TIGERS • Page B2

yards per reception. During his first season as a quarterback, Levett has seen huge improvement in his down-field passing. He connected with Markevious Mathews for a 50-yard pass, his longest of the night, and had two completions of 25-plus yards to Trent Cochran-Gill. “I wish we had him for two or three more years now,” Battles said. “He threw some tremendous passes. We put ourselves in bad situations on offense because of penalties but then to have Kalvin step back and throw a 45-yard pass to hit the guy. It’s made a big difference.” Despite his big performance in the passing game, Levett made the biggest impact on the
game using his legs. On just 11 rushing attempts, Levett ran for 184 yards and two touchdowns. His first score came on a 65-yard run in the first five minutes of the game. “I was just trying to make a big play right off the bat,” Levett said. “Coach wanted us to start off quick.” Levett finished the game with 22 total offensive plays recorded: 11 pass attempts and 11 rush attempts. On those 22 plays, the Tigers averaged 17.3 yards. Levett’s big play ability and consistent play have helped Tallassee find an offensive rhythm this season. Battles, a 22-year coaching veteran, said players with Levett’s skill and mindset make things easier on the
coaches. Battles compared Levett to Zac Stacy, a former player of Battles at Bibb County, who went on to play for the St. Louis Rams in the NFL. “(Stacy) could do everything,” Battles said. “Kalvin is a lot like him because he can do so much. He’s just one of those athletes that doesn’t come around often.” Levett said having big performances is a great feeling but he is looking for more improvement as the regular season ends. “I just want to continue to get better,” Levett said. “Teams are going to get harder in the playoffs so we have to be ready.”

Cameron Faison has been an integral part of Reeltown’s success this season.
Reeltown gearing up for playoffs in final weeks By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
With the Class 2A Region 4 title already secured, Reeltown’s football team has two games remaining on the docket before beginning its playoff journey. It hits the road for the final time this regular season on Friday as it heads to Vincent for a region matchup. The Yellow Jackets (3-4, 2-2) are still fighting for their playoff lives. They are currently in a tie with LaFayette for the No. 3 seed behind the Rebels and Thorsby. Vincent and LaFayette meet next week. Vincent is led by running back Christopher Hardie, who stands at 6-foot-2, 250 pounds, and also plays on the defensive line. Hardie lit up the Horseshoe Bend Generals last week and also ran all over Central Coosa prior to that. Reeltown (7-1, 4-0) has been dealing with some bumps and bruises recently, so it’ll be looking to get through these next two weeks without any major injuries. Cameron Faison and Keke Hughley have been staples for the offense, but the Rebels have been trying to get more going through the air with the thought they’ll need an extra weapon during the postseason. Defensively, the Rebels have been stout all season but are coming off a less-than-stellar outing last week against Central Coosa. Reeltown gave up 12 points to a struggling Coosa team and even trailed 6-0 after the first quarter. Reeltown still came away with a big victory, but it’ll be looking to play a complete game from start to finish this week at Vincent.

their 11th consecutive postseason appearance. “Every extra game you get is a blessing,” Battles said. “Half the schools in the state will finish up on week ten so any extra week you get to work with the kids, it’s just a blessing. It’s bonus football.” Charles Henderson (2-4, 2-2) started the season slow but inserted itself back into playoff contention with a win against then-No. 7 Carroll last week. The Trojans could jump all the way to second in the region standings with a win Friday. “We have a tough opponent,” Battles said. “Charles Henderson isn’t an ideal opponent to play on a night like Senior Night or something when you have your mind on something else.” In last week’s win, quarterback Pooka Jones threw for 176 yards and a touchdown for the Trojans. Sean McKinney caught the touchdown pass and Jonathon Carter had a rushing touchdown in the win. Charles Henderson’s strength may be at the line of scrimmage. The Trojans have three offensive linemen standing at 6-foot-3 or taller and five who weigh at least 250 pounds. “They’re going to dwarf us up front,” Battles said. “They’re just big and athletic. If you just look at their record, you’ll be in for a long night. We’re going to have to play

really well to be in the ball game.” The Trojans also have the size on the defensive side of the ball, led by 6-foot-4 senior tackle William Coppage. The defense has allowed 34.5 points per game this season but limited Carroll’s strong offense to just seven points last week. “I don’t know if they’re doing anything differently,” Battles said. “They have a great group of linebackers and play downhill. They’re great at getting to the
ball.” Tallassee saw what Charles Henderson is capable of during this week’s film session. Battles said the Tigers have to clean up some mistakes which have come up over the course of the season or the Trojans can very easily come away with a win. “If we get 10 or 12 penalties or have two or three turnovers, we won’t win the ball game,” Battles said. “They’ve got a good team. We can’t make those mistakes.”

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\ GLႇHUHQW VKDSHV DQG VL]HV WR EDWWHULHV LQ RUGHU IRU WKHP WR ¿W LQWR PDQ\ REMHFWV $ FRPPRQ KRXVHKROG EDWWHU\ VXFK DV RQH WKDW LV XVHG LQ D ÀDVKOLJKW 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 Earth’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.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You seem to go where the unexpected occurs. Use caution with any Ă„nancial decisions. Do not overthink an oɈer at the moment. You might need to lessen your load rather than take on more responsibilities. Consider this possibility, and you’ll begin to mellow out. Tonight: Out late. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your determination could be met by someone else’s stubbornness. It might be easier and more eɉcient to go along with this person’s wishes, unless you Ă„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„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 diɈerently 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 diɈerent directions. You might Ă„nd that you enjoy yourself more and become less and less invested in what you see as problems. Consider being less available to diɉcult 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 person’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„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„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„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 diɉculties stem from too much to do and from being overwhelmed. Tonight: Pay bills Ă„rst. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You feel diɈerently 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„cation. Tonight: Surround yourself with people you value and trust. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You make an eɈort 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 night’s sleep.

Auburn football season officially hits rock bottom
Arbogast
he Auburn Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2018 season officially ANDY hit rock bottom on Saturday as they fell to the GRAHAM Tennessee Volunteers 30-24 Columnist 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 weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just split the difference and consider it embarrassingly unsatisfactory. It was the Volsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first conference victory since 2016 having lost the previous 11 straight. Think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a difficult thing to get back this far into the season. Jarrett Stidhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three turnovers (two interceptions, one fumble) led directly to 14 points for the Big Orange.
season dead in the face if things continue on the current path. With all due respect to the seniors, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be honest, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Malzahn should be bought out. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too easy. He created the mess and he should have to be the one to fix it. If he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fix it in three or four years, fire him and pay him $10 million if he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. As a fan, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m willing to endure the next four years, come what may, if it means Auburn finally learns its lesson.
interceptions compared to just six touchdowns. His completion percentage has gotten progressively and exponentially worse since the Giantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; game against Houston â&#x20AC;&#x201D; their only win of the year. Now, this is not to say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fault. The Giants were smart in drafting Saquon Barkley in the spring rather than a quarterback because even a young, spry QB wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to do much behind New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive line. The Giants defense is also giving up a ridiculous amount of points. But in the NFL, when your team isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t successful, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re usually looking at getting rid of your coach or your quarterback. As Pat Shurmur is in his first year, it makes sense to give him a little time. But with the fine crop of quarterbacks thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be ready for next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for the Giants to start planning their exit strategy from the Eli Manning era.

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. Much-maligned 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. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never wise to assume victories or defeats in advance, but Auburn is staring a 5-7

THE TALLASSEE TRIBUNE
Date reset for Holton trial By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
The trial date of an Elmore County teenager who was indicted for the 2016 slaying of his father has been rescheduled for the third time. The trial of Jesse Madison Holton, 19, who currently lists an address on Highway 231 in Titus is set to begin at 8:30 a.m. on Oct. 22 under presiding judge Sibley Reynolds. Madison Holton’s trial was initially scheduled for March, and then reset for June. Madison Holton was initially arrested and charged with two counts of murder
by the Elmore County Sheriff’s office on Sept. 12, 2016, the day after he was said to have fatally shot his parents, Jesse Michael Holton and April Owenby Holton. At the time of his arrest, Holton listed an address 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 editions of The Tribune, 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.
Wind Creek holding annual Fall Festival this weekend By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
One of the busiest weekends of the year at Wind Creek State Park is coming up, as the park prepares for its 12th annual Fall Festival celebration this Saturday. “All of our 586 campsites have been booked up for this weekend,” Wind Creek superintendent Bruce Adams said. “We try to hold it every year on the third weekend in October. We try to avoid having it on Halloween weekend.”
Cindy Rigsby 334-399-6357
Adams said the fun begins for campers Friday evening, with a pumpkin carving contest and educational presentation, while there may also be a movie scheduled if there is good weather that evening. The main event kicks off Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m. with a 5K run. There will be a carnival set up in the equine camping area opening at 12:30 p.m. The carnival includes rides, inflatables and a game area where guests can earn tickets to win prizes. The carnival will be followed by a costume parade at 4:30 at the playground, trick-or-treating from 5:30 to
6:30 and hayrides to start at 7 p.m. Judging of the campsites decorated for Halloween will also begin at 7 p.m. While Adams said there is a lot of labor involved in putting the festival together, he feels it is well worth it, giving everyone in attendance the chance to have fun in a family-friendly environment. “Everyone enjoys it. We hear a lot of positive reactions from everybody,” Adams said. “We already have people booking campsites for next year’s festival.” In some regards, Adams said the
weekend of the Fall Festival is the busiest weekend of the year at the park, even more so than the Labor Day weekend. He estimated the event averages between 3,500 and 4,000 people on Saturday, while some campers were already setting up their decorations Monday afternoon. For those who want to attend the fall festival but have not reserved a camping spot, Adams said the day use fee will apply for park guests. “While it takes a lot to set it up and clean up afterwards, we really enjoy putting this on,” Adams said.
