Hilton explains addiction

National recovery addict gets in addicts’ brains at Tallassee High School seminar

By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer

The auditorium inside Tallassee High School was filled with eager listeners Thursday as national recovery advocate for Bradford Health Services Tim Hilton, took the stage to explain chemical addiction in a way that everyone could understand.

Hilton explained addiction as a combination of imbalances in the brain.

“The disease is a dysregulation of the neurotransmitter pathway system, which results in a diminished flow of dopamine to the frontal lobe,” Hilton said. “The dopamine in the frontal lobe See ADDICTION • Page A2

The city of Tallassee and Tallassee City Schools recently announced a joint campaign to encourage families in the community to get healthy by walking. The new Healthy Families Initiative began earlier this month and to increase interest in the campaign, the Tallassee Chamber of Commerce has joined the effort. The chamber will host a kickoff walk on Monday from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. and with this walk just two days prior to Halloween, participants are encouraged to wear a fun costume.

The Healthy Schools Initiative is an ongoing campaign that expands the 50 and 100 Mile Club at Tallassee Elementary School to include everyone See WALK • Page A2

RVFD celebrates Fire Prevention Month at Reeltown Elementary

This month is Fire Prevention Month and the Reeltown Volunteer Fire Department members set aside last Wednesday to introduce themselves to the younger members of the community through their annual Fire Prevention and Safety Day held at Reeltown Elementary School.

“Every year in October we visit and teach the kids fire protection and fire safety,” fire chief Cade Cosby said. “The younger children need to know what we look like and to understand we are here help.”

Students in pre-K through fifth grade were taught important lessons like how to escape a building that is on fire, what do after escaping a fire, but most importantly, they were introduced to local firemen.

Students also had the opportunity to ask questions and become familiar with the fire department and some of the equipment it utilizes.

“We teach them to call 911 once they are safely out of harm’s way, what the equipment is used for, the expense of the equipment and we have the See FIRE • Page A3

Addiction

continued from page A1

chemically forms the coping system, so when we talk about addicts and alcoholics, we are literally talking about a disease that has altered or diminished the individual’s coping system.”

Hilton broke the brain down into three sections, the frontal lobe, the brain’s neurotransmitters, and the primal brain. The primal brain is responsible for survival, drive, and instinct, while the frontal lobe is responsible for problem solving, memory, language, judgment, impulse control, and reasoning.

The primal brain also creates stored memories, especially those that have the greatest “reward.” Those stored memories are what drive the impulses or signals that regulate the brain’s frontal lobe. Therefore, an addict’s brain will receive a greater “reward” and form a stronger memory of the effects of a narcotic. It is

that memory that, in most cases, tends to override all other rewards systems.

To put it plainly, an addict would choose drugs over the last available bite of food even if that meant starvation because active addiction occurs within a primal part of the brain; addicts often rank alcohol or drugs above food and water.

Hilton also explained the harmful effects of enabling, or “loving someone to death” by providing life’s essentials and allowing the addict to continue a normal lifestyle without financial consequences.

According to Hilton, active dependency stops the proper functioning of the brain’s neurotransmitters, which is essential for processing emotions and connecting to people and surroundings. Over time with substance abuse, toxins build up and cause the neurotransmitters system to shut down entirely.

Walk

At this point, addicts have lost the physical ability to experience empathy or compassion, often resulting in a loss of friends and family.

Luckily, these neurological pathways are not gone forever. Once an addict stops using, the neurological transmitters begin to repair themselves and over time users will once again be able to more properly process emotions.

The brain’s reward system can also be rewired through positive reinforcement.

“That craving may always be there, but you will be able to overcome that urge,” said Hilton.

Hilton encouraged anyone that may be battling with an addiction to reach out for help. To those who have a loved one struggling with an addiction, Hilton offered this advice, “They don’t need enabling. They don’t need judgment. They need love.”

opportunity to talk to them one on one,” Cosby said. “That’s really what it’s about. It gives them a chance to get to know us.”

In this small town, the fire department is made up of community members and it’s important to spark interest in the adults and the children who may want to volunteer in this closeknit organization through demonstrations and other community events like this.

“It’s a recruiting tool, more so for the kids in the fourth and fifth grade,” Cosby said.

There were three generations of firemen at the school-day event and Jake Yarborough was the youngest.

Yarborough first expressed interest in becoming a fireman in the fifth grade and it was Cosby who kindled his interest in pursuing the career.

“He had to do a project about what

he wanted to do when he grew up and he said he wanted to be a fireman. He had to get someone from that career field to come to speak to the class and he asked me to do it. I came, we became friends and I kind of took him under my wing. I don’t know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but here he is,” Cosby said with a grin.

Keeping with the tradition, Cosby’s mentor was also on hand for Fire Prevention Day to express the significance of introducing the younger generation to the important role the local firefighters have in the community.

“It’s important that the children understand how much the fire department means to this town. It’s important for them to understand, even at that age, that it’s about community service. Cade was recruited as a high school student and so was Jake,” Reeltown VFD’s Pete Mastin said.

Mastin has been a member of the fire department since 2003 and he says this is a way to give back to the community that has welcomed him as one of its own.

“I look at it as a privilege,” he said.

“I’m not from here. I was born and raised in Montgomery and I traveled all over the country before coming here. This community has been very, very good to me and I like to pay my debts back.”

The fire department has a cadet program for students at the high school level and it offers classes on important emergency response procedures.

“We have three members now that are students who are cadets or firefighters,” Mastin said. “We’re teaching an emergency responder class for the high school and we have put about 40 students through that in the last four years. Even if they don’t join

the fire department, they know CPR skills, they know what to do if someone has a broken hip, and they know the basic skills of keeping someone alive.”

Fire Prevention and Safety Day allowed students to get an up-close look at firefighting equipment, medical emergency equipment while engaging students.

After lunch, the morning clouds dissipated and the sun came out.

Temperatures rose just enough for the last class of students to enjoy a quick mist of water from the big red tanker truck. Following the demonstration and with an abundance of student laughter and delight, it’s a safe bet the three generations of firemen who hosted this event could have very well met their fourth generation somewhere in that mass of excited fifth-graders.

Further fast food follies

ears ago, I’d advocated a bit of mutual respect and courtesy between workers and customers at fast food restaurants, noting that while “burger flipper” was generally considered to be a derogatory or condescending term, at least such folks were employed.

We’ve all had positive and negative experiences at such establishments, and the prevailing “look-at-me” attitude of the citizens of selfie nation has assured that some bizarre encounters at a counter or a drive-thru window can be seen across the globe, since gazillions of folks have a cell phone with a camera on their person at all times (and security cameras at such establishments also figure into such documentation).

And most of such episodes probably fit into the “negative” category.

Some sordid incidents still go reported without video, however. More than one episode has been chronicled in the news about employees at fast food restaurants refusing to serve cops or other persons in

specific occupations.

Usually, the pseudosanctimonious workers have been immediately fired once the incident was investigated by restaurant owners/management.

Good riddance.

As for videos, one showed a reportedly-intoxicated customer at a Taco Bell blaming racism for the lack of french fries on that restaurant’s menu. This incident happened before Taco Bell began offering a new item called Nacho Fries.

In July of 2014, a University of Oklahoma football player named Joe Mixon slugged a woman in a restaurant. His blow knocked her into a table, and several bones in her face were broken. It’s all there on the security camera video, which wasn’t released until late 2016.

However, the current champion of battles in a burger box is Erika Chavola, 24, who won the title in mid-July at a McDonald’s in Las Vegas.

Chavola was the supervisor on duty, and her opponent was customer Sabrinah Fontelar, who has reportedly worked as a stripper (which means her moniker may be a stage name).

WILLIE MOSELEY Columnist The storyline recounts that the customer asked for a water cup (who even knew McDonald’s had such items) but Fontelar tried to fill it with soda instead, whereupon Chavola shut down the drink machine.

By the time the cell phone video cranked up, the scantilyclad Fontelar was seated at a counter, apparently arguing with Chavola, who’s not on camera.

Fontelar was heard to yell “fight me” more than once, and she tossed a french fry behind the counter.

The provocation with a flying deep-fried weapon apparently pushed Chavola over the edge. She charged like a bull into camera range from the right, as Fontelar desperately heaved a milkshake at the supervisor then smacked her in the face with a tray.

But it was no contest, mainly

because Chavola is about three times the size of Fontelar. The McDonald’s employee crashed into the obnoxious patron and began pummeling her mercilessly, tossing her around like a rag doll.

It was almost like Chavola had been taking mixed martial arts fighting lessons from UFC (ultimate fighting championship) icon Chuck Liddell. The combatants were finally separated, whereupon Fontelar picked up a stool, then decided against swinging it.

One wonders how often Chavola and persons of her ilk have to put up with the likes of Fontelar (or worse). It probably happens more than most of us know. Can’t say that Chavola’s reaction was appropriate, but in some respects, it’s understandable.

And contrast that viral brawl with a simple-yet-memorable incident in which I was the dine-in customer at a fast-food restaurant in Fairburn, Ga. a while back.

I ordered some chicken fingers, which had to be cooked.

When the order was brought to my table by an employee,

she said with a smile, “I also brought a few packets of ketchup for you. Hope you enjoy it.”

When I finished and prepared to leave, I approached the shift manager, who happened be in the dining area.

“I need to speak with you about the employee that brought me my order,” I said.

“Yes, sir?” she replied, as a concerned look swept across on her face.

“She was very courteous and professional, and I appreciated it,” I said.

The manager’s relief was obvious, and she thanked me for my comment. Her countenance at the beginning of our exchange had indicated she didn’t expect a compliment.

So there are still also simple acts of courtesy that can and do happen in a fast-food environment. Too bad it’s just the bizarre events that appear in the news.

H

Trick-or-treat

alloween is known as an evil day of ghosts, goblins, and serial killers. But, from this pagan festival came a holy day and its story is among one of the most interesting developments in history.

The term Halloween is a contraction of the words that spelled out “All Hallows Eve,” the night before All Hallows Day (or All Saints Day in modern vernacular). In the year 835, Pope Gregory III moved the Catholic church’s holy days of All Saints Day to November 1 and All Souls Day to November 2, respectively.

“Hallow” is not a word to fear, incidentally. As defined

by Merriam-Webster, it means “to make holy or set apart for holy use.” This explains its use in the Lord’s Prayer: “hallowed be Thy name.”

Europeans traditionally believed this is a special time of the year when spirits can make contact with the physical world, and when magic is at its most powerful. The darkness that seems to envelop the universe on this scary evening, especially in horror movies, certainly has a legend unlike any other holy day on the calendar. The Celtic people of England, Ireland, and Scotland celebrated Samhain at this time of year. Samhain was a harvest festival in which the ancient pagans set bonfires to burn the bones of their slaughtered livestock and any damaged crops. As immigrants moved to the United States in the 1800s, they brought these traditions with them.

MICHAEL BIRD Columnist During Samhain, the pagans ritually wore costumes and masks to keep evil spirits away. When the Romans took over Celtic territory, they incorporated the festival Feralia, symbolized by Pomona, the goddess of fruit. The tradition of bobbing for apples began here, and to these people the word Halloween literally meant “to eat kids.”

Dennison Manufacturing Company (now Avery Dennison) was a major manufacturer of Halloween cards and supplies in the early decades of the 20th century. They even distributed a Halloween merchandise catalog.

(Interestingly, Dennison was located in Framingham, Mass. from 1897 until recently, when Avery Dennison closed operations there.)

The post-World War II era saw the rise in popularity of Halloween trick-or-treating as the quintessential autumn event. Particularly during the 1950s, Halloween costumes and the sale of Halloween candy became profitable enterprises for American companies. Jack-o-lanterns, scarecrows, pumpkins, witches, spiders, mummies, vampires, tombstones and other characters of fall have been a part of the All Hallows tradition through the centuries.

Dressing up in costume

isn’t only for children. Among adults, the most popular costumes continue to be witch, pirate, vampire, cat, and clown, along with pop culture icons of the day.

The jack-o- lantern is traced back to Stingy Jack, a greedy, gambling, hard drinking old Irish farmer who tricked the devil into climbing a tree, and trapped Ol’ Scratch by carving a cross into the tree trunk. In revenge, the devil placed a curse on Jack which dooms him to forever wander the earth at night. (More realistically, a jack-of-the-lantern was an Irish name for a carved turnip or pumpkin with a candle inside, placed on doorsteps and in window sills to light the night.)

Today, Halloween ranks only behind Christmas as the second most popular holiday for decorating in the United States. It also ranks high for profitability along with Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Christmas.

The next time you’re watching Michael Myers from ”Halloween,” Leatherface from ”Texas Chainsaw Massacre” or Jason from ”Friday the 13th,” consider that once upon a time, Halloween was a day to remember the faithful departed while celebrating hunters and gatherers. We will probably never view Halloween in such a way again, but let us recall how it all began. Trick or treat.

Frank Johnson: The Legend and the Free State of Winston

T

hose of us who are baby boomers remember the tumultuous times of the 1960s. We lived through the Civil Rights revolution. Those of us who grew up here in the Heart of Dixie witnessed the transpiring of racial integration first hand. Most of the crusades and struggles occurred here in Alabama, especially Montgomery.

A good many of the landmark Civil Rights court decisions were handed down in the federal court in Montgomery. The author and renderer of these epic rulings was one, Frank M. Johnson, Jr. He served as federal judge in the Middle District of Alabama for 24 years from 1955 through 1979.

Johnson’s judicial decisions brought death threats to him and his family from whites opposed to integration. He was vilified by most white Alabamians at that time and became George Wallace’s favorite whipping boy. Wallace referred to him as a “lying, scalawagging, carpetbagging integrationist.”

Frank Johnson, Jr. was born in Winston County in October 1918. Winston County attempted to stay neutral during the Civil War. It was a Republican stronghold in an overwhelmingly Democratic Alabama.

In contrast to the Black Belt planters in South Alabama, the people who settled North Alabama were small farmers. The land they settled on was hilly and not as conducive to growing cotton.

Rather than large plantations and slaves, the fiercely independent hill country farmers had 40 acres and a mule.

Therefore, when the winds of division between North and South began to blow in the 1850s, an obvious political difference between North and South Alabamians arose. In 1860 there were only 14 slave owners in Winston County. With the election of Abraham Lincoln, the crucial decision of secession arose. Contrary to what most presentday Alabamians think, it was not an easy unified decision that we should leave the Union.

A secession convention was held in January 1861, in Montgomery. The vote was extremely close.

The delegates split 54-46 for secession. The Black Belters from South Alabama were for creating a confederacy of southern states to protect their slave ownership and way of life. The hill farmers from North Alabama preferred to not secede. These North Alabamians voted against secession from the Union at that time.

Shortly after the secession convention, citizens of Winston County met at a local establishment, Looney’s Tavern. These yeoman farmers of the hills were obviously reluctant to leave the Union for the cause of the planter and his slaves.

Legend has it that on July 4, 1861, the good people of Winston County decided to secede from Alabama and remain in the Union. That is why they are known in Alabama political history and folklore as “The Free State of Winston.”

That same sort of independent streak was a hallmark of the Johnson family who were some of the earliest settlers of Winston County.

Judge Johnson’s father served as one of the few Republicans in the Alabama Legislature in the first half of the 20th century.

Frank Johnson Jr. studied law at the University of Alabama and graduated at the top of his law school class in 1943. He then distinguished himself as a U.S. Army officer in World War II. He was wounded at Normandy and received the Purple Heart. After the war, he settled in Winston County and began practicing law in Jasper.

Although the Democratic Party dominated southern politics, Johnson was a lifelong, Winston County Republican. Therefore, he led the 1952 Dwight Eisenhower campaign for President in the state. After Eisenhower became president, he rewarded Johnson with a federal judgeship.

In 1955-1956, shortly after taking his seat on the bench, Johnson became involved in a formative event of the Civil Rights movement. Rosa Parks was arrested for violating a Montgomery ordinance requiring racial segregation on the city buses. In response, the African American community organized a boycott of the bus system and nominated Reverend Martin Luther King as its leader. Johnson ruled that the Montgomery ordinance violated the due process clause of the 14th Amendment.

The ruling was the first of many by Johnson which eliminated racial segregation in public accommodations such as parks, libraries, bus stations and airports during the 1950s and 1960s.

Johnson’s decisions were legendary and groundbreaking. He became the central defender of Civil Rights in America from his federal bench in Montgomery. The Federal Courthouse in Montgomery is now named in his honor. Judge Johnson died in 1999.

The older I get

ometimes when the weather is gloomy, and I am in one of those moods where I start thinking about a different time and a different world. I turned the radio on and Alan Jackson was singing “The Older I Get” and this only added to those thoughts, my memories, loves, the few friends that are left from my childhood. The older I get the better I am at forgiving.

Thinking of the small town I grew up in and how it disappeared, how all stores closed at least a half a day on Wednesday and all day on Sunday. Then big stores like Walmart moved into Alabama and opened every day and challenged our laws, then everybody started opening. This made the small mom and pop owners open too, just to survive.

I guess I’m writing to the older group today.

I wonder how many places you remember? Let’s start with Lootie Toots produce stand. All of us go to Elmer’s Restaurant now and back then we went to Lootie Toots in the same area, or Tubby’s Café on Gilmer Avenue, right where the four lane turns into a two lane and right across the street from the old WTLS radio station.

I remember a lot of places no longer there like, Margaret’s Café in the East Tallassee Shopping Center. Everybody knew and liked Dacil and

I

RONALD BRANTLEY Columnist Margaret Chandler and worlds of people traded with them.

Before it was Margaret’s it was Weldon’s.

Another place was the State Farm Insurance office in South Tallassee; the agent was George Thompson and the office sat in the corner of South Tallassee and Wall Street Roads. Later this became the McKinnish Beauty Salon and remained that way until it closed many years later.

Are you hanging in there with me and how many have you remembered so far?

Here is one, Freeman’s GMC dealership in the Big Bear Shopping Center. Later it was the Freeman Ford Co. and he moved to the present location.

Can you remember Maddox Florist on Barnett Boulevard?

WACQ is located there now and across the street was the Snack Shop located left of the Mt. Vernon Theatre entrance and on the right was the Western Union office.

Another business located there was the Farm Bureau office and Fred Ransom was Tallassee’s first agent. It is now called Alfa. Do you remember the commercial on TV years ago?

The doorbell would ring, a little girl would go to the door, open it and say, “it’s the Farm Bureau man.” Later it was the Ye Olde Gun Shoppe run by Spurgeon Morgan and even later, Bobby Keahey had a barbershop there.

Do you remember when there was a monument sales service at the West Tallassee end of Benjamin Fitzpatrick Bridge? On the east end of the bridge was a bicycle repair shop and even later was the Tallassee Rescue Unit headquarters. While I’m talking about this subject the rescue unit was a large efficient organization that was always on call and assisted in recovering several drowned bodies over a period of time.

On Gilmer Avenue was Roy’s Café, operated by Roy Rigsby, located in the area of the Tallaweka Baptist Church. It was a good place to get a burger and a shake. The Dairy Bar was a standard for years and now it is a washeteria.

Like I said at the beginning of the article, sometimes I start thinking of a different time and different people and places. If you remember these people and places you are no spring chicken either.

Falling into autumn

just finished doing a little yard work. Nothing big. I dragged some brush that Lucy cut over to the burn pile.

I then filled some holes in the yard with some dormant ant beds that I poisoned a few days ago. I need to rake, but I sure to love the freshly, fallen leaves. I love being outside in the fall.

Earlier this morning, one of my dad’s childhood friends – our friend now – dropped off a bucket of okra from his garden that sits on the banks of the Tallapoosa River. He brought us a mess of catfish, too – already cleaned.

After that, we took some pictures of Abigail amongst all things autumn, minus a pumpkin. We needed a pumpkin. We have one now. The backdrop of my pawpaw’s barn was special. We laid a quilt on the ground for her to sit and crawl on. Making it even more special was that it was a quilt my grandmother made for me when I was just a young’on.

Now, Lucy is inside with the baby, trying to get her down for a nap. I was up with her at 5 a.m. She was up with her at 2 a.m. She gets up way more than I do. Abby likes to nurse. Now, I’m sitting under the oak tree, listening to the wind, the leaves, the birds. It’s a good day.

The wind is blowing through the trees and the leaves are slowly blanketing the ground.

The sounds from the wind chimes are enough to put me to sleep right here on this bench.

JODY FULLER Columnist The dogs must have been listening too. They are all asleep in the yard. Off in the distance, I hear the occasional cow’s moo.

There are no doubt, some donkeys, too.

The crows are cackling in all directions. There’s a red tail hawk in a tree across the road.

There’s a pileated woodpecker somewhere pretty close. He’s busy. I think I just heard a turkey.

I hear footsteps cracking through the leaves on the floor of the woods. What is it? A squirrel? A deer? A coyote?

From our porch that wraps half way around the house, Lucy saw one cross the road in the middle of the day just a few weeks ago. It’s probably that turkey.

If it was 40 years ago, it would have been me. It would have been my brother.

We played in the woods. We climbed trees. We built forts.

We played with guns made out of sticks. While I appreciate the moment, I will always cherish the days gone by.

We didn’t always do right but always knew right from wrong.

One time, while up the road at our other grandparent’s house, we started a fire in the woods.

We were playing with matches when grandmamma called us in for lunch. We blew out the fire and covered up our wrongdoings with pine straw. That was not one of our finer moments.

When it was all over, our rear ends were on fire and rightly so.

The baby just started crying.

We hear that a lot these days – and nights. She’s teething. One day, I will cherish these memories too. As Trace Adkins’ song says, “You’re gonna miss this.”

And I know I will. We sure love our little miraculous munchkin.

She’s a special child. Aren’t they all?

My late father was born in this house, on this farm. So were my aunts and uncles. It’s a privilege for us to be able to raise our daughter here, just down the road from my mama and step-dad and just miles from Lucy’s mama, too.

I can close my eyes and see and hear all the love and laughter that filled this home so long ago and continues to do so today.

I open my eyes. I open my ears. I hear the sounds of nature. There is nothing like fall in country. Sometimes, I can even hear the river.

Community rallies around hurricane evacuees

By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer

Could you imagine having 18 unexpected guests in your home who have no other place to go and no home to return to? This was Johnnie and Faith Payne’s reality after Hurricane Michael slammed the Florida Panhandle earlier this month, leaving many of Paynes’ friends and family members with no place to go.

Faith was born in Tallassee but moved to the Panama City area of Florida years ago. She moved back to her hometown last year to be closer to her parents while remaining in close contact with friends and family in the sunshine state.

“I lived in Panama City for 20 years,” Faith said.. “I moved back to Tallassee last year to be near my parents to help them. All of my friends and my husband’s family are from Panama City, Lynn Haven and Vernon. My best friends lost their home and all as the roof caved in.”

The Paynes already had a house full when friends and family sought refuge there.

“My husband and I have five children,” Faith said.

She also has two children from a previous marriage who were impacted by the historic storm.

Submitted / The Tribune

Meloney Douds and her son Winston visited the Tallassee library for some rest and relaxation after seeking refuge in the area following Hurricane Michael.

“My ex-husband and I have two girls together. They live here with me but visit him weekly,” she said. “His entire family lost their home as a tree fell on it. It will be months until they restore power there.”

With limited space of their own, the Payne’s opened their home without hesitation.

“We are housing is 18,” she said.

Not only did the Paynes open their doors during this time of need, but Faith also reached out to the community asking for beds, food and other needed supplies. That’s when residents of Tallassee and surroundings communities answered the call.

“Father McElroy and his fellow pastors, the Tallassee Rotary Club and Nancy Meyers of Eclectic donated so many items. Laurie Rygiel bought us all dinner the first night everyone arrived.

She brought over lasagna, Viola meals and paper plates. We were so very thankful. Barbara Williams donated an air mattress to us and Tracy Penn Hart donated bunk beds and drinks,” Faith said.

While unexpectedly in town, one family received free medical service from a local healthcare provider for their sick child.

“Sarah Covington at Covington Healthcare treated a 6-week old baby I am housing for free and also covered the medications,” Faith said.

The past week and a half have been a whirlwind for the Paynes and the friends and family who are staying with them.

Most are continually making the trip to and from the devastated area to start the process of rebuilding. Thanks to the community’s outpouring of donations, that process may be more bearable.

“We have been sending fuel, generators and food and water down daily to Panama City,” Faith said. “We were able to help a lot of people in Florida with supplies this weekend and the families staying with us were well taken care of due to donations.”

Most of those who had to flee the hurricane will return to their home to rebuild. However, thanks to the hospitality shown by local residents, Tallassee’s population may soon see a slight increase.

“A couple of the families that we have staying with us have made the decision to relocate to Tallassee,” Faith said.

“After seeing how great of a community we have and how present God is, they want to become a part of the Elmore County family.”

With a lengthy recovery process ahead, the Paynes say they will continue with this supply drive for as long as needed. To donate to the Payne family call 850.532.3527 or visit https://www.facebook.com/ donate/175995233322845/1760906 13313307/

Tallassee woman named independent sales director for Mary Kay

By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer

Earlier this year, The Tribune ran an article about a local Mary Kay independent sales director, Sandra Kay Conner, who earned the use of a free Mary Kay career car as a result of her outstanding achievements in the business. Now, another local woman is well on her way to great things in the same company.

Local entrepreneur and businesswoman Shelby Rodgers of Tallassee has achieved the status of Mary Kay independent sales director by exceeding sales and team building goals set within her Mary Kay business.

Rodgers began her business as an independent beauty consultant in 2017 and has achieved the status of independent sales director. As such, she will also provide education, leadership and motivation to other Mary Kay independent beauty consultants.

“I started my business in September of 2017 and was focused on being a director,” said Rodgers. “That is what I wanted and that is what I did.”

In preparation for the next phase of her business, Rodgers was invited to attend Leadership, a Mary Kay conference where she will learn valuable information regarding business management, marketing strategies, sales technique and personal development.

Good Hope Baptist to host Fall Fest on Sunday

Members of the Tallassee Rotary Club met with fellow Rotarian Adolphus Gauntt who is also the bishop at God’s Congregation Holiness Church last Thursday to tour the new church building. Pictured are, from left, Dr. Mark Williams, Jan Dzuirlik, Dustin Funderburk, Pastor Aldophus Gauntt, Stephanie Weldon and Laura Leigh Peters.

GCHC holds first services in new church building

By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer

With a chill in the air, it seems fall is finally here to stay and the folks at Good Hope Baptist Church in Eclectic are celebrating with a Fall Festival this Sunday beginning at 4 p.m.

There will inflatables, face painting, hayrides, a popcorn stand and much more for kids and adults alike.

If you would like to celebrate Halloween a little early or if you are seeking an alternative to traditional door-todoor trick-or-treat, there will a parking lot designated for trunk or treat. In addition, there will be a costume contest.

“Come dressed in your costume,” Red Hill Fire Department’s Chad Moore said. “It will be a great time for the entire family.”

Members of the Red Hill Fire Department are coordinating this event and they hope to include a dunking booth with a few special guests.

“We are asking local fire chiefs to take part,” Moore said. “Right now we have Josh Dorminey, Eclectic’s fire chief, Eclectic police chief, Robert Head, Red Hill fire chief, Charles Chambers and a few other first responders.”

With plenty of fun scheduled and an opportunity to “dunk a chief,” this event should have something for everyone.

“This event is for everyone in the community and surrounding communities,” Moore said. “We hope everyone will come out and have a great time.”

G

od’s Congregation Holiness Church is a long-established house of worship with a deep history in Tallassee. The church has been working to construct a sanctuary for years and with the help of community members, that began on Valentine’s day.

Bishop Adolphus Gauntt, his wife Nina and several members of the congregation gathered on a cold morning to celebrate a groundbreaking, signifying the start of the building process.

Over the past eight months a lot has taken place and on the site of a former empty lot, today stands a brand new church built with adoration.

“One young man, in particular, did a lot,” Gauntt said. “He came to me and said ‘pastor, we are going to build the church’ and he did.” That young man was Ben Bruce who Gauntt had spent a lot of time mentoring.

“He said he wanted to give back,” Gauntt said. “He did a great job. We are so grateful.”

Plans to construct that new church building first began more than years ago.

“This started years ago when Carpenters for Christ came here to build it. That did not work out and the group ended up building a church in Georgia,” Gauntt said.

Despite the setback, Gauntt did not become discouraged and remained confident the project would come to fruition when the time was right.

He said not only is the new

construction the product of a lot of contributed time, sweat and manpower, most of the church’s interior is furnished with items that were donated.

“The pews were given to us from a church in Auburn,” Gauntt said. “That church was having new pews installed and asked if we would like these. I wasn’t going to say no.”

The move to the new church also offers more space, with plenty of room for future growth.

“We can fit almost twice as many people in here,” Gauntt said.

GCHC held the first service in the new sanctuary on Sunday, Oct. 21. With the determination and faith that went into the construction of the new church, it was a day Gauntt and the entire congregation will remember forever.

Reeltown VFD to hold 15th annual steak dinner fundraiser

By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer

It is almost time for one of the area’s most anticipated fundraisers. The Reeltown Volunteer Fire Department has scheduled the 15th annual steak dinner and cash drawdown for Nov. 3 at Reeltown High School beginning at 5 p.m. with the cash drawing at 6.

Only 200 tickets will be sold for this event. Each of those tickets goes into the drawing

for total of $7,500 in prizes.

“I suggest buying tickets early because they are going fast,” Reeltown Volunteer Fire Department’s Pete Mastin said.

With the cash giveaway this year, close to $100,000 will have been awarded to the participants. The first ticket and the 100th ticket drawn will both win a $500 cash prize.

The 20th, 50th, 75th, 125th, 150th and 175th tickets drawn will receive a $250 cash prize.

Finally, the 200th ticket drawn will take home $5,000.

Each ticket costs $100 and,

in addition to the drawing, is worth two steak dinners. Extra dinners will be available for $15.

“This is the most important fundraiser of the year,” Mastin said. “This pays for the department’s insurance coverage and other expenses.

Insurance costs are near $10,000 annually.”

The Reeltown Volunteer Fire Department is an allvolunteer agency, covering much of southern Tallapoosa County and northern Macon

County. In addition to fire emergencies, RVFD responds to traffic accidents, medical emergencies and other service issues in the community.

The RVFD responds from two stations with a total of eight pieces of apparatus.

Automatic and mutual aid agreements with adjoining departments helps enhance the response capabilities of all involved, thus lowering the insurance ratings in these jurisdictions.

While RVFD receives some financial support from

Tallapoosa County and the state of Alabama, the bulk of expenses are paid through annual voluntary dues of $50 from residents of the fire district. In September, notifications of the yearly assessments was sent to approximately 1,100 households. Last year, only 407 of the 1,100 households paid the voluntary dues.

For more information, contact any member of the RVFD or call 334-257-4403.

Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life

astor John Ortberg once asked author Dallas Willard what he needed to do to be “spiritually healthy,” and Willard replied, “You must ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.”

But what does it mean to “be in a hurry?” What does “being hurried” actually mean? I want to briefly evaluate whether “hurry” is simply from society in general or whether it is a more so a state of our hearts.

Within this article is a series of questions and statements trying to diagnose this problem of hurry and discover solutions. Does the fact that we have “hurried hearts” cause us to feel more hurried than we should? Can we say that the “hurriedness” and the “busyness” of life is not nearly as impactful from outside of ourselves as it is coming from within ourselves?

If we can assume, at least in some measure, that our hearts are at the root of our “hurried” problem, then what are the roots within the heart that are causing this problem? Is busyness and stress due more so to outside influences pressing upon us, or is

the busyness and stress, rather, a symptom of a diseased heart that is “ate up” with being hurried? Is hurry something merely imposed upon us, or is it a status of the heart? Is hurry more a heart problem, or is it more a societal problem?

Could it be that part of our hurried lifestyles, rooted in a “hurried heart,” is due to the fact that we are so distracted from within? What is the relationship between being hurried and being distracted? And how could being undistracted, or removing distractions, cause our hearts to slow down and not to hurry so much?

Could it be that we are so unfocused in life that we, thus, feel hurried in some manner?

Does a lack of focus contribute to our being hurried so much?

Could it actually be the case that if we were more focused on the right things that hurry and anxiety would decrease in our lives?

Our hearts are going in so many directions, it’s easy to see that we are not devoted to just one thing, but to many things. Could

BILLY REINHARDT Riverside Heights Baptist Church there be a way to find one thing (God) that would unify all of the other things that we are devoted to so that we could focus on doing one thing, rather than many things? Also, could narrowing down our lives to being devoted to one thing (God) cause our hearts to be less hurried?

Simplicity means to choose less and to not live extravagantly or with too much abundance. To live in a cluttered space means that there are piles of books or clothes or papers (you name it) that are crowding our space and that are, therefore, taking over our minds. I’ve personally experienced inner anxiety whenever I’ve been around too much clutter, particularly my own. My old office at my former employment was a mess, and it was my fault. I had books and

papers and periodicals all over the place. Within my heart, I was stressed about my office. There was nothing simple about my office. Could it be that the anxiety and hurriedness of my heart would decrease should I seek to increase simplicity and eliminate physical clutter from my life?

Simply read the Scriptures below and reflect on them and see if God will use His Word to help eliminate hurry and anxiety in your life.

Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” (Psalm 23:4).

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore, do not be anxious

about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.

Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” (Matthew 6:33-34).

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7).

“Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village.

And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house.

And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, ‘Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.’ But the Lord answered her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.’” (Luke 10:38-42).

Give back to schools, people who need it

A

few high school football games were put on hold two weeks ago, which is not a normal occurrence in the South.

It takes something pretty major to cancel or reschedule a ballgame around here.

But the disaster of Hurricane Michael wreaked havoc on the Southern part of the state, and it was time to put the ball down for a night and focus on what’s really important.

Last Wednesday, the Alabama High School Athletic Association Central Board of Control unanimously approved to give assistance to Cottonwood High School, which suffered significant damage during the storm last week.

In photos published by Dothan Eagle, some of Cottonwood’s damage included the visiting bleachers toppling nearly to the ground.

It’s great to see the AHSAA reaching out to a school in need during a time like this.

With the holiday season right around the corner and an air of unrest surrounding the country, it’s extremely important now more than ever to give back to those in need, regardless of how much you can give or in what way. Find a purpose that’s meaningful to you.

In addition to the ASHAA donating funds to Cottonwood High School, there are plenty of organizations around Tallapoosa County that are raising funds or material items to help those who were harmed or are still in need after the hurricane.

If you’re a student, being a volunteer for your community looks great on college applications and is also a way to give back to a place that’s given to you. I’m always in awe when I see football teams or volleyball squads doing something for their community.

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it’s great to see volleyball teams around the area hosting Dig Pink days to raise money for either an organization or someone specifically in need within the community.

I wrote a story for our Breast Cancer Awareness special section about what local football teams are doing to honor the cause, and while wearing pink may make football teams look great, it doesn’t necessarily help anyone.

That’s why I loved the idea the Reeltown Rebels do, which is every player who wants to wear pink must donate $10 that will then be collected and given to someone in need.

A lot of student-athletes in this county have aspirations to play at the collegiate level. At the next level, it becomes that much more important to be a pillar of your community because you’re in the public eye. The Auburn Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide players are heroes in the eyes of many young people, and it’s important to take that status and use it to teach good lessons.

So whether it be donating something to hurricane relief or taking part in a Habitat for Humanity build, volunteering at Lake Martin Animal Shelter or raising money for someone suffering from cancer or another disease, find a way to get involved. Not only will it be good for the person you’re trying to help, but it’ll also make you feel better about your purpose.

Keep this lesson in mind with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up. If you’re blessed enough to have a giant turkey and a pile of presents under the tree, just remember not everyone is. See if you can find a way to help.

FIGHTING FOR HOME SPOT Tallassee wraps up region play on the road

By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Despite having a spot in the postseason waiting on them, the Tallassee Tigers will have a lot on the line this week when they travel to Beauregard for the final Class 5A Region 2 game of the season. Tallassee will need to bounce back from last week’s overtime loss to Charles Henderson and coach Mike Battles believes his team will be ready.

“There’s still a lot of football to be played so we just have to get back out there and get to work,” Battles said.

“It’s disappointing because it was one we had control of and that’s very unlike us.”

Tallassee (5-3, 3-2) lost its chance at a region title last week but it can still finish second to secure a home playoff game with a win and a Charles Henderson loss. If the Tigers lose, they will get the No. 4 seed and have to go on the road for the first round of the playoffs.

“The only thing we can control is our game on Friday night so that’s where we’ll put our efforts in,” Battles said.

“We’re just going in to try to win this game and the rest of it will take care of itself.

When it’s said and done on

Friday night, we’ll see where we stand.”

The Tigers returned to the top 10 for the first time in four weeks last week but it was short lived with the loss to Charles Henderson.

However, Tallassee has not lost back-to-back games since 2016 and has hosted a playoff

game in four of the last six seasons. The Tigers will hope both of those streaks continue Friday night.

Beauregard (4-4, 3-2) will also be playing for playoff seeding this week. With a win, Beauregard would get the region’s No. 2 seed and host a postseason game for

the fourth consecutive season.

The Hornets clinched a spot in the postseason with last week’s win at Carroll but a loss to Tallassee would drop them to the No. 4 seed.

“They’re a spread offense and defensively they’re sound,” Battles said. “They’re See TALLASSEE • Page B2

Tigers attack too much for Mustangs

Tallassee’s volleyball team celebrated its Senior Night on Thursday against Stanhope Elmore.

Elmore County Player of the Week

Having an “off” night against a team feeding off a gym full of hometown folks is never a recipe for success, as the Stanhope Elmore Mustangs dropped a best-of-three series to the homestanding Tallassee Tigers on Senior Night.

“They played outstanding, probably the best we’ve played in a couple of weeks,” Tigers coach Katie Rigsby said. “We’ve been in a little bit of a slump. It’s Senior Night.

I told them to bust their butts for the seniors and (the rest of the girls) did.

We had some mistakes; we are always going to have some mistakes.

Martin helps Bulldogs take over in home win

By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Boykin Field was a quiet place to be Friday night when Holtville found itself down by double digits in a game it needed to win to keep its playoff hopes alive. However, things changed early in the second quarter when junior Hunter Martin got involved with a big special teams play.

With the Bulldogs trailing 13-3, Martin came around the right side of Talladega’s offensive line to block a punt.

The ball bounced all the way inside of the Tigers 5-yard line before Holtville fell on the ball, setting up a touchdown run by Alex Gibbons.

XC teams compete at Tiger Classic STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

Auburn hosted the 22nd Annual Tiger Classic on Saturday morning where 542 students competed across four different varsity divisions.

Tallassee was without its top runner Woodrow Dean for the race but the Tigers still put together a good performance.

always pretty good and they do a good job out there so hopefully we can make it a good football game.”

After losing their first three games of the season, the Hornets came storming back, winning four of their last five games. In those four victories, Beauregard averaged 34 points per game on offense.

“They’re just executing really well,” Battles said.

“We’re going to have to play sound. They can do a lot of things so we’ll just have to do a good job against the big play. Hopefully we can get that corrected.”

The Hornets have had plenty of success on the offensive side of the ball, led by quarterback Quatavious Seroyer. He has competed 60 percent of his passes this season and averaged 227.1 yards of offense per game.

Seroyer has accounted for 18 touchdowns this season.

Isaiah McKissic is the go-to receiver for the Hornets and has been one of the best in the state this season. McKissic is a 3-star recruit with offers from

“I saw I had empty and I was wide open,” said Martin, who is the Elmore County Player of the Week. “I didn’t really think, I just went. I try to stay level headed.”

Holtville scored another touchdown to give itself a 17-13 halftime lead but Martin was just getting started.

Martin Talladega got the ball first to start the second half and drove into Bulldog territory.

The Tigers faced a fourth down from the 25-yard line and Martin introduced himself to quarterback Nigel Scales for the first time. He chased Scales down 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage for his first sack of the night.

“I just think we needed to come together as a team,” Martin said. “We had to do a job and our job was to put pressure on the quarterback. We worked

win to be in the playoffs but it would certainly help momentum and confidence to add another win before postseason preparation begins.

on it all week, it was our focus.

And we did it.”

After Talladega took the lead in the third quarter, Holtville missed a field goal and needed a defensive stop to get back in the game. Martin added another sack to go along with a quarterback hurry while forcing the Tiger offense into a three and out. The Bulldogs got the ball back and scored on the next drive to take the lead for good.

“I try to just do my job and go 100 percent on every play,” Martin said. “In my opinion, that’s how you play. Play with your team and that’s how you get things done. I couldn’t do it by myself, it took all 11 of us out there.”

Martin added two more sacks in the fourth quarter as the Bulldogs pulled away.

Holtville’s defense held Talladega’s offense to 124 total yards in the game and zero points in the final three quarters.

Scales entered the night as one of the region’s top quarterbacks but he completed only a third

of his pass attempts and was tackled for a loss seven times.

“It’s about preparation,” Martin said. “We prepped for him all week and put our heart and soul into this week. We did a lot of conditioning because we knew it would come down to the fourth quarter. We had to come together as a team.”

Martin finished the game with five total tackles, including four sacks, to go along with two quarterback hurries and the blocked punt. Holtville coach Jason Franklin said Martin’s performance was just another way to show the improvement the defensive group has made.

“He’s been getting better every week,” Franklin said.

“But this isn’t just about one individual player. We’ve miraculously seen a change in our demeanor with our whole group. It’s in the locker room and the guys are playing hard.

Everyone is just doing their job.

If we put them out there, we expect them to make plays and they’re doing that.”

them in back-to-back sets like we did is big and gives us momentum going into the area tournament.”

In the first game of the best-of-three affair, Stanhope Elmore jumped out to a 7-2 lead. Jordan Walters, who finished the night with four kills and 14 attacks, broke the rally and moved the Tigers one point closer.

Gabbi Taylor broke Tallassee’s shortlived rally and pushed the Mustangs up 8-3, but then the Tigers began closing the gap. Walters and Madelyn Martin scored on back-to-back kills and moved the mark to 9-8 with the Mustangs on top.

The two squads continued to trade volleys until a Kayla Jolly ace knotted the match at 14-14.

After seeing her squad scramble to find a defensive answer, Mustangs coach Virginia Barber called time out.

“We had some adversity to get through this year,” Barber said. “We’ve just got to figure it out. We’ll be fine though. We’ve just got figure it out.”

Coming out of the break, the Tigers pushed ahead 18-15. Lotte Preusse, a force at the net most nights, had trouble finding the range on attacks, but dropped back-to-back kills in for Mustangs points cutting the deficit to 20-17.

The Tigers added two points to go ahead 22-17. With Walters serving, Tallassee extended their lead to 24-20. Courtney Taylor and Allison Evans scored successive points for the Mustangs making the score 24-22.

Stanhope Elmore added another score to make it a one point game.

The game ended, however, when the Mustangs misplayed a Tallassee volley into the net for the Tigers point.

Tallassee took the first set, 25-23.

“Knowing that we can play that hard, coming from behind is good for our girls,” Rigsby said. “The crowd support was a huge factor.”

Set 2 was nowhere near as close as Tallassee won 25-13.

The Tigers and Mustangs contested the first eight points of the game to a 4-4 gridlock. Walters and Sally Shipman combined at the net to block an Allison Evans attack. From there, the Tigers went on an 8-0 run with Belle Haynes serving and recording a trio of aces during that run.

Rikki McAdams broke the rally with a slap that fell to the floor through a gap in the Tigers defense. Stanhope Elmore added three more points and closed the deficit to 12-8.

Rigsby called a timeout to talk things over with her squad. The Tigers were called for a double touch on the next volley allowing the Mustangs to inch closer.

Shipman slammed a kill through the defense of the Mustangs to give Tallassee a point and the serve. The Tigers led 12-9 used a 7-3 rally to push ahead 19-12.

The score moved to 20-12 following a Mustangs return into the net.

“We didn’t play very well, honestly, and we are going to have to make some adjustments,” said Barber.

“Going through the things we’re going through, we’ve just got to make some adjustments and we’ll be fine. We’ve got some girls that want to work and be here and a part of this team.”

Walters took the serve for the Tigers and effectively ended the game on a 5-1 run. She hammered down a kill on the first serve and an ace on the second.

Martin added two kills then Walters ended the game with a pair of aces.

Volleyball aside, the night was also a celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness as the Tigers rolled their annual Dig Pink game into the Senior Night atmosphere.

“This was the first time we’ve done this and had Senior Night at the same time,” Rigsby said. “I think we may do this again. It’s such a special night. We may continue to make this a tradition.”

For Tallassee, this is the eighth year they’ve hosted a Dig Pink game raising nearly $20,000 in that time frame.

The Slow Moving Sloth!

Sloth Word Search

A sloth is a type of mammal that lives in the tropical forests of Central and South America and is most well-known for how slowly they move about. Sloths are usually around two feet tall and live in the trees. They have two or three toes, depending on the species, with long claws and small, round faces. Sloths are almost always seen in the trees and never on the ground. This is because sloths cannot walk. When on the ground, they must pull themselves around by their claws; this makes them very susceptible to danger from other animals. For this reason, they almost never leave the trees. Sloths move about slowly and silently from branch to branch.

Often, they hang in the trees, but they will also sit among the branches. Sloths are a brownish color, but they sometimes appear to be green because they are also covered in a type of algae RQ WKHLU IXU 7KH DOJDH KHOS WR FDPRXÀDJH WKHP LQ WKH WUHHV 6ORWKV DUH PRVWO\ QRFWXUQDO $ IHZ species are awake some during the day, but for the most part, they sleep during the day and roam through the trees at night to eat leaves and fruit. They also sometimes eat insects. Although sloths cannot walk, they are incredibly good swimmers and are very agile in the water. he six species of sloth living, living the pygmy sloth is a critically endangered species, while the Of the ned sloth is considered vulnerable. vuln maned

Reaching more than 22,000 households in Tallapoosa and Elmore counties The Dadeville Record

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) The Full Moon invites extravagance. The decision to let go might have more to do with frustration than pleasure. Consider the possibilities, as they head in your direction. A noteworthy idea or happening could come out of confusion. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have been displaying a quirkier facet of your personality as of late. You might not know why, and you seem unable to go further into the topic at hand.

Goodwill emerges. As a result, you feel optimistic and positive that everything will be Ă„ne. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your instincts might drive you to react strongly, when there really is no reason for that kind of response. Take in all the facts, and consider the pros and cons of proceeding as you have been. In fact, the less said, the better. Stay on top of your game. Tonight: Hang out with a friend.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You feel pressured by a friend to make a choice that you normally wouldn’t.

You could get moody and might want to distance yourself. Remain optimistic that things will go well. A visit and a chat with a loved one help make you feel cared about. Tonight: Get into the moment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Pressure to smile and say that everything is all right might be high. You probably need to speak your mind and allow others to get a better sense of what is going on in your mind. Someone greets you with a big smile; listen to his or her news. Tonight: Dinner for two.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out to someone you care about.

You could have diɉculty getting past all the activity around you, or around this person. Do not give up, and you’ll Änd a way to break through. Caring Åows naturally between you. A child becomes more responsive. Tonight: Time for fun.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

A partner or loved one might give in to a desire to be extremely overindulgent.

You might go along for the ride until you are faced with reality. No matter what is going on, stay centered, even if you do not have the self-discipline you might desire. Tonight: Explore a new place.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might be unusually energized. Try to funnel some of this energy into a creative project rather than allow it to dissolve. Your sense of direction could play an important role in what goes down. A loved one enjoys hanging out with you. Tonight: Just act natural.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Even if today’s Full Moon has the eɈect of making you want to be around friends and visit with several diɈerent people, pace yourself. Your nerves could become jangled with everything that is occurring. You might want to open up to new ideas. Tonight: Kick up your heels.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be in the position of needing to be in two places at once. Despite being unable to meet the immediate demand, you somehow manage to make everyone happy. Express your caring and concern to a friend who will appreciate your thoughtfulness. Tonight: Let it happen.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your instincts might point to staying close to home. You are likely to do just that. Whether you just need some time oɈ or are needed elsewhere when something occurs, a change of pace is appropriate. You are able to read between the lines. Tonight: Lie low if possible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The Full Moon encourages you to daydream. You also might decide to fulÄll a long-term wish. You see beyond the obvious when dealing with others.

You even might notice a missed detail or two. Stay centered. A trip might be in the oɉng. Tonight: Read between the lines.

THE TALLASSEE TRIBUNE

Pet of the Week – Clarabelle

C

larabelle is a 2-year old Lab-Hound mix girl, weighing about 50 pounds. She is a happy go lucky gal – playful, goofy and sweet.

Clarabelle is great with other dogs, but not good with chickens and thinks chasing cattle is way too much fun. Looking for a running partner, perhaps? Clarabelle could be your perfect match.

Our adoption fees are $100 for dogs & $50 for cats under one year-old. Cats over one year-old can be adopted by approved adopters for a fee of their choosing. This adoption fee completely covers the mandatory spay or neuter, basic immunizations, de-worming, microchip, heartworm check for dogs, a rabies vaccination if old enough and a free health exam with your participating veterinarian.

To meet all the great pets at our shelter come to 255 Central Plank Road in Wetumpka, go to our website at www. elmorehumane.org for more information, email us at hselco@ bellsouth.net or give us a call at 334-567-3377.

We are open for adoptions from Monday through Fri day between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Tattoo fundraiser coming up on Nov. 19

By REA CORD HSEC Executive Director

Remember our first ever Putts Fore Paws Golf Tournament Club back in August? Thanks to Alabama News Network; Emerald Mountain Golf Club; the 15 great teams who played and our sponsors Montgomery Subaru, Greenville Foot Care, Harriott II Riverboat, Buffalo Rock and the Montgomery Biscuits, we had $2,700 brought to us last Thursday by Chris and Louis! Now that is a great start indeed, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who made this such a success. Don’t worry if you missed out, as they are already looking ahead to Aug. 22, 2019 for our second Putts Fore Paws. Mark your calendar for even more fun.

We hope you have your calendar marked for Nov. 19 to either get your first tattoo or add to your body art. This 24-hour tattoo event starts at 10 am on the 10th, at Mad Tatter Tattoo Studio. That means that you have until 10 a.m. the next day to get one of three specific black ink tattoos (American Flag, Paw Print, Skull) for $20 each. They are not only hoping to set a state record for most tattoos in 24 hours, but are splitting the proceeds with our shelter and the Slapout Fire Department.

We are looking forward to seeing lots of folks, and there will be food, entertainment and more. See you in Slapout!

There are just far too many lost pets lately, and we have a great way to help these pets get back home quickly. We can make custom ID

tags at the shelter in just a few minutes and have many choices of shapes, sizes and colors. Large tags are $10, and small tags are $7. Pets with identification often never have to even come to a shelter as the finder can reunite the pet with the owner directly. Stop by the shelter at 255 Central Plank Road in Wetumpka anytime from Monday through Friday between 8a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 8a.m. to 3p.m. We will be happy to make as many tags as you need!

Our shelter not only has daily expenses, but has a long-term future and visions that will require continual funding. Financial donations, estates, land and more can be donated in many different ways. Most often, the only information a lawyer will need is our legal full name, address and tax

number, which is Humane Society of Elmore County, Inc. at 255 Central Plank Road in Wetumpka. We will supply our tax number as needed.

Since we are a 501(c)3, non-profit organization, your donation may also prove you with a tax benefit in return.

We also have a Humane Society of Elmore County Endowment with the Central Alabama Community Foundation (CACF). This is a restricted donation, in that you would be designating your funds strictly to our shelter’s endowment, which could greatly help secure long-term funding for our shelter’s future. For more information on supporting us through the CACF, go to www.cacfinfo.org/ giving.html, contact them at (334) 264-6223 or write them at 434 North McDonough Street in Montgomery.
