County talks budget:

Commissioners discuss retirement incentives, tourism position, more

like revenue would be even for next year. “Property tax is basically flat,” Beck said. “We did see a modest increase last year with Sabal Trail.” Commissioners are also looking at adding an employee for county tourism efforts. “It would be a one-person department instead of an authority,” Beck said. “It makes things faster and gives

the commission more direct input.” Beck said the anticipated budget for the new department would be about $110,000 for operations, salary and benefits. The commission gave the nod for Beck to go ahead and start advertising the position, though the commission has yet to approve the new position or the budget. The position would likely be contracted similar to See COMMISSION • Page 3

Possible incentives for retirements and raises were mentioned as the Tallapoosa County Commission started to look at next year’s budget. “We are looking at offering incentives to encourage employees to retire,” county administrator Blake Beck said. “Two to four employees

would be eligible.” Beck declined to comment on the specifics yet, only saying the incentive would be cash for retirement eligible employees and would only be available for a limited amount of time. Beck explained pay increases were being examined for deputies in the Tallapoosa County Sherriff’s Department for retention efforts. Beck told the commission it looks

The Tallapoosa County Health Department is gearing up to help residents make it through the winter and avoid the flu. The health department will host a flu shot clinic from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 17 at the Dadeville Health Department. There is another opportunity from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 24 at the Alexander City Health Department. It may seem early for flu shots since the temperature is still reaching about 90 degrees every day, but Health Department Nurse Supervisor Wendy Pritchard said this is the usual time the clinic begins to administer the vaccine. “Some people choose to wait until October,” she said. “I think a lot of the places like Walmart and Walgreens put theirs out as soon as they get it.” The shot is available at the health department, and individuals can request it. Pritchard said some people want to get it early and have the situation out of the way. However, there are some misconceptions about a flu shot. See FLU • Page 3

Economic development, education and healthcare are at the top of Republican candidate Ed Oliver’s platform during his campaign for the 81st District seat in the Alabama House of Representatives. Oliver, 62, made a decision late to run for the seat, but after a talk with a close friend in the Legislature, he was convinced to head to Montgomery and sit down with high-ranking Republican political figures. That conversation consisted of current 81st District representative Mark Tuggle, Alabama Speaker of the House Mac McCutcheon, and Majority Leader Nathaniel Ledbetter. After that discussion, Oliver said he made a difficult decision to throw his hat into the ring to represent the district. Oliver finished in the top two during the primary election in June and then defeated Terry Martin in the runoff election a month See OLIVER • Page 9

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I love each other very much. But we are both so jealous we fight every day. The only time we get along is during sex and right after. Recently, he found an email I had written when we first got together in reply to a message I had received about becoming an escort. I didn’t follow through with it, and I have never cheated. I was broke at the time, and he had just been sent back to prison. I didn’t know what to do. How can I earn his trust and keep our relationship from becoming toxic? -- TRYING TO MAKE IT WORK DEAR TRYING: If the only time you and your boyfriend get along is during sex or right after, your relationship is already toxic. Rather than fight and accuse each other of infidelity every day, couples in healthy relationships build each other up and support one another. Total honesty between partners is essential. If he can’t

DEAR ABBY Advice

believe what you tell him, there can be no love, because there is no trust. DEAR ABBY: I am a 13-year-old girl and I hate my family. I have had an eating disorder for three years, and my parents haven’t noticed. (It doesn’t show because I’m regular-sized.) I think my parents hate me. They try to stuff me into a mannequin shell that doesn’t fit. It’s like I am a doll and not a person. I don’t know what to do, and I am suicidal. But when I think about all the ambitions I have, I’m able to withstand another day, even though it is hard. Please help me. -- DEPRESSED TEEN IN WASHINGTON

DEAR TEEN: Because you feel your parents may not take you seriously, be brave and tell a trusted teacher or counselor at school everything you have written to me, including your thoughts of suicide. Eating disorders can be very serious, and they are not always obvious. Because your feelings of depression are so strong that you sometimes feel you can’t go on, you need more help than an advice columnist can give you in a letter. Please don’t wait, and please let me hear from you again. DEAR ABBY: When did it become someone’s right to walk into a business with a pet? People walk in and never ask. Some of those animals hike their leg, and their owners giggle and never offer an apology or to clean it up. Dogs have jumped up on other customers while their owners stood there and said, “Don’t worry. He won’t bite.” The last customer came

in with a full-grown German shepherd! I’ve gone through training on service animals, and these are definitely not service animals. What happened to common courtesies? -- TAKEN ABACK IN OKLAHOMA DEAR TAKEN ABACK: The demise of common courtesies happened right around the time when people began believing they were the exception to the rules. When ADA legislation was passed, it was so that people with disabilities would have access to things that ablebodied people take for granted. What you are experiencing is an abuse of that law by dishonest, uncaring individuals who have no sense of shame.

“It does not give you the flu,” she said. “Most of the time when people say they got the flu from a flu shot, they have already been exposed to the virus.” Pritchard said those individuals have to think about the people they come into contact with every day at the grocery store, touching gas pumps or anything else where human contact is involved. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, flu vaccines given with a needle are currently made in two ways. First, the vaccine is made either with the flu vaccine viruses that have been “inactivated” and are therefore not infectious. The other way is with no flu vaccine viruses at all. The most common side effects of the influenza shot are soreness, redness, tenderness or swelling where the shot was given. Low-grade fever, headache and muscle aches also may occur, according to the CDC says. On the flip side, just because a person gets a flu shot, it doesn’t mean he or she won’t get the flu, Pritchard said. However, if they do, it’s typically a milder case. The reason for people still getting sick could be based on new strains of flu every year. The shot will protect against the virus from the past year but there can always be new strains, she said. “It is better to get a flu shot than not get one,” Pritchard said. The CDC recommends getting a flu vaccine every year for everybody who is six months and older, even when the viruses the vaccine protects against have not changed from the previous season. A person’s immune protection from vaccination declines over time, so annual vaccination is needed to get the optimal protection against the flu. For more information about getting a flu shot through the health department, call 256-329-0531.

Commission the county administrator and the county engineer. Another possible issue with the budget is increasing costs of health insurance. Beck told the commission they had been told there would be an increase of 5 to 7 percent which amounts to $50,000 to $70,000. The accounts of the county are also being audited. “As you know, we are being audited for the last two years,” Beck said. “It is a little tough as we are doing it with new software.” Beck said no major issues are expected. A re-plat of part of Driftwood Subdivision off of Young’s Ferry Road was approved because of buildings being built over or near property lines. “This is probably going to be a common thing,” engineer David Moore said. “It is not affecting roads or utilities.” Moore told the commission what has happened in several developments is outbuildings and other structures have been built too close to property lines and in some cases across property lines. The re-plats will be somewhat common to correct the issue for mortgages and insurance purposes. Moore asked the commission about doing this administratively, to which the commission agreed for this purpose when it did not involve roads or utilities. A representative of the Tallapoosa County Board of Education informed the commission the board had approved a resolution to hire Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood for a facility study and 15 years of enrollment information had been provided to the group. The plan should be ready in the next 60 to 90 days. Workers’ compensation insurance will now be handled by the Association of County Commissions of Alabama Workers Compensation Self-Insurer Fund. Beck said the county could will see a savings of 15

percent with a three year contract. The contract will end in 2021 and the county would see savings of about $20,000 a year with the move. The commission went into executive session for

35 minutes to discuss the good name and character of an individual. The commission also: • approved the minutes from the Aug. 13 meeting. • approved warrants

and purchase orders. • approved two Family Medical Leave Act requests. • approved material bids for the road department for items such as signs, rock, asphalt plant

mix and other items the county would spend more than $15,000 on in a year. • approved a final plat for Ponder Village at Lake Martin. • approved a preliminary plat of Long Leaf

Sept. 11 gives us a chance for reflection

eventeen years ago, America changed forever. Sept. 11 will always be a day when Americans think about where they were when first hearing the news the World Trade Center was struck by a hijacked airplane. American Airlines Flight 11 hit the north tower first at 8:46 a.m., followed shortly by United Airlines Flight 175 hitting the south tower at 9:03 a.m. Half an hour later, news broke that American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the western façade of the Pentagon. At 9:59 a.m., the south tower of the World Trade Center collapsed. Minutes later, United Airlines Flight 93 crashed into a field in Pennsylvania at 10:03 a.m. after brave passengers refused to let the hijackers take over the plane. The carnage — as far as attacks are concerned — was finally over for the day. The bravery of the first responders in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001, is something we should never take for granted. It is important to remember those men and women who were on the plane, and those who were going about their day at the office, unsuspecting their life was going to end in minutes. It’s critical to think about the men and women who got the call and dove head first into a pile of rubble that used to be two iconic buildings in New York’s skyline to save lives. In today’s world of political divisiveness, we feel today is the perfect time to set aside political lines and remember we all live in a great country that allows us particular freedoms we may not get everywhere else. While attending the prayer walk at the Benjamin Russell High School parking lot tonight or spending time with loved ones, take a moment to reflect on the day our country was rocked back on its feet and how we are blessed to live in a free country.

Outlook The

The Kavanaugh Hustle

enate Republicans and President Trump share the same inclinations when it comes to one of the worst habits in our politics: Placing ideology and partisanship above the health of our institutions. While Trump is destroying the honor and reputation of the presidency, Senate Republicans are doing all they can to destroy the legitimacy of the United States Supreme Court. When it comes to this last line of appeal in our legal system, the GOP has treated court appointments the same way machine politicians once treated jobs in city sewer departments: If you have the clout, you use it to place your people. Period. And on this one, the machine hacks hold the higher moral ground, because the consequences of the Brett Kavanaugh Hustle and the Merrick Garland Mugging are much greater than the costs of giving somebody’s brother-in-law the task of fixing the pipes. Conservatives are willing to bend and break the rules, violate decorum and tradition, hide information and push Judge Kavanaugh through at breakneck speed. They want a Supreme Court that will achieve their policy objectives — on regulation, access to the ballot, social issues, the influence of money in politics and the role of corporations in our national life — no matter what citizens might prefer in the future. This is not fantasy. The Roberts Court again and again has swept aside precedent to foil the wishes of the elected branches of our government on the Voting Rights Act, campaign finance reform, environmental rules and a host of other issues. We are witnessing conservative judicial activism on a scale not seen since the New Deal era brought about a crisis over the Supreme Court’s authority. Kavanaugh will push the court much further right. Everything we know

E.J. DIONNE Columnist about him points to a man who is fierce and unapologetic in his partisanship and relentless in advancing his ideology. His confirmation will be the equivalent of handing the court over to the Heritage Foundation and the legal staff of Koch Industries. It is characteristic of hypocrites to be unctuous and judgmental. How else to describe the attitudes of the GOP senators rushing Kavanaugh to the bench, and their defenders in the conservative legal academy who long to undo 75 years of court precedents? Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee are legitimately outraged over the haste with which Republicans are forcing Kavanaugh through and the cover-up of mountains of documents from his past. When Elena Kagan was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Obama in 2010, all but a very small proportion of the records from her extensive service in the executive branch were turned over to the Senate. In Kavanaugh’s case, tens of thousands of documents are being held back through a vetting process run by partisans for partisan purposes. And when Democrats on the Judiciary Committee howled about rigged hearings and did whatever they could to bring more information to light, Republicans primly accused them of lacking civility. Imagine you’re punched in the face, and when you complain loudly and raise your arm to shield yourself, you’re called a brutish norm-breaker. The talk of civility is laughable in light of the Republicans’ refusal to give Garland — a judge whose quality Kavanaugh himself extolled — either

a hearing or a vote. That was not just incivility. It was an abuse of power reflecting the political right’s determination to seize control of the court by any means necessary. Two Republican senators could derail their party’s court packing, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine. Moderates and progressives appreciated their willingness to break with their party in previous instances, particularly in saving the Affordable Care Act. But by voting to confirm Kavanaugh they would be ratifying everything in politics they claim to be against. This is not just about their pledges to protect the right to choose on abortion. It’s also a test of whether they mean what they say about wanting politics to be less partisan and more consensual. Caving into the power brokers and ideologues on this will follow them for the rest of their careers. If the Trump era produces a backlash so strong that a Democratic president and Congress pass breakthrough economic and social policies, conservatives will count on their court majority to block, dismantle or disable progressive initiatives. And short of impeachments or courtpacking, there will be nothing officials elected by the people will be able to do about it. This is a fight about democracy itself. Right now, democracy is in danger of losing. E.J. Dionne writes about politics in a twiceweekly column and on the PostPartisan blog.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Focus your energy on enhancing the beneĂ&#x201E;ts of a situation that you deal with nearly every day. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll experience a great deal of advantages from relating to one speciĂ&#x201E;c person, ranging from Ă&#x201E;nancial gains to emotional support. Tonight: Thank a special person in your life. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) An oÉ&#x2C6;er might be heading your way. Your feelings might be out of control when dealing with a key person. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always keep it together! Look at a trip or workshop as being positive. You might be bounding onto new turf. Tonight: At a favorite spot with favorite people. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You breeze along, touching base with many people. Your curiosity might be piqued along the way. Anchor yourself when dropping in on a favorite person. Your light and easy style, though charming, might seem superĂ&#x201E;cial to others. Tonight: Wherever you can be spontaneous. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You express your compassion through your domestic talents. You inadvertently create a positive change in attitude by oÉ&#x2C6;ering a caring thought or gift. Someone appears to be transforming right in front of your eyes. Tonight: Relax with a bubble bath or massage. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You tell it like it is, yet you also engage in the art of diplomacy. You can make someone smile even while criticizing him or her! This person might not realize the gist of your conversation for hours. Reorganize your schedule to your liking. Tonight: Be a little naughty. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You feel intensely about several people, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to limit how much you express those emotions. Ultimately, your choice of self-expression will be what sets the tone for the day. You will touch the other party with your thoughtfulness. Tonight: Balance your checkbook Ă&#x201E;rst! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Whether it is raining or sunny, you

beam. In some way, a situation conforms to your liking. You understand the ups and downs, and might not be thrown by them. Invite a friend to a late lunch. Decide that the glass is half full, not half empty. Tonight: Indulge in a glass of bubbly. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might have caught a case of the blues. Can you put it to music? Play a favorite tune and process those feelings. Know that a change in perspective can transform your mood and the situation. Try it -- you have nothing to lose. Tonight: Find Libra for a more upbeat time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Friends, associates and family members donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to charge through your door. See the negatives of such unparalleled popularity. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requests, but you can spend a limited amount of time with most of them. Tonight: The going could get wild! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You wonder why so many people are saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to you. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as if your wish is someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s command. Incorporate this attitude into the workplace or in situations where you are the leader. Others comply with ease and wonder why you seem so easygoing. Tonight: Out late. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have a surprise up your sleeve. Others see the diÉ&#x2C6;erence in your attitude. Curiosity will energize several friends to make inquiries. Know that you do not need to say anything. The less said, the better. The experience will intensify for you as a result. Tonight: Think â&#x20AC;&#x153;adventure.â&#x20AC;? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Allâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well on the personal side of your life. You are poised and well-informed. These characteristics tend to emerge more and more when dealing with a diÉ&#x2030;cult friend or associate. Zero in on an important goal or project. Tonight: Respond to a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overtures.

later. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy to be in the race and the experience to this point has been great. However, he knows things canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fixed overnight if elected. Industrial development and growth in the district is one of the top issues on Oliverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list. He said Russell Athletics is gone and the district needs to move past it. He said several businesses pay employees $9 an hour, and while the area is happy to have them here, higher wages are needed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is hard to support a family at $9 an hour,â&#x20AC;? he said. Oliver said the economy is entirely different today than it was 30 years ago due to the influence of technology and rising costs of essential goods. He said he wants to see the district filled with small businesses that want to be in the region and expand. To do that, there needs to be good real estate prices and lower startup costs. Additionally, those starting businesses need to want to raise a family in the district. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to move here and then send their kids to our schools,â&#x20AC;? he said. Another major part of Oliverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign is education. He said schools in the 81st District need to be competitive with surrounding areas to entice families to live nearby. He said ACT scores and the percentage of students receiving free lunches are weighed heavily into that decision. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a major advocate of public schools and the Republican-led Legislature passed the largest education budget in the state since 2006. Oliver said Dadeville schools and Alex City schools both have their own set of challenges. He said Dadeville

has 76 percent of its students on free lunch with low ACT scores and Alex City has 50 percent of its students receiving free meals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those two numbers are what people look at,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ACT score is the number that compares schools to the rest of the country.â&#x20AC;? He praised the activities happening at each school, adding there are great programs, but generational poverty has led to the free lunch numbers being what they are. He said it is something the area has been fighting for a long time. Oliver also urged the use of technical schools, citing Edward Bell Career Technical Center in Camp Hill. He said the average starting salary is $40,000 a year after finishing

the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can come up with the jobs, the workforce will come,â&#x20AC;? he said. Healthcare is also a big campaign issue for Oliver. He said Medicaid expansion is not going to happen in Alabama because the Republicans in the Legislature donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to start a social program that generations of people will pay for and incentivises people not to work. He said it would also dissuade companies from coming into the district, and create a tax nightmare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The state economy would come to a screeching halt,â&#x20AC;? he said. Also under the healthcare umbrella, he said hospitals are close to shuttering their doors, which causes those in rural

areas even more problems with access to healthcare. He said there is an aging population in the district and 15 percent of the population doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive. Oliver said he wants to find three pieces of legislation to help the district if elected.

BRHS assistant football coach dies in car crash By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

File / The Outlook

Curtis Glaize was a first-year teacher and offensive line coach at Benjamin Russell.

The Benjamin Russell family is mourning the death of Curtis Robertson Glaize, who was killed in a singlevehicle crash at 2:13 a.m. Sunday. Glaize, 24, was a first-year teacher at Benjamin Russell High School and was also an offensive line coach for the football team. “The kids are doing about as good as you can expect,” said Benjamin Russell head football coach Kevin Smith, who broke the news to his team Sunday afternoon. “We’re going kind of day by day. He’d only been here a short time, but all of them are affected. He had a little bit tighter relationship with some of the younger kids because he ran all

our scout teams for offense. He had the JV guys a lot, so they really had a pretty good bond.” Glaize was a former player at T.R. Miller under coach Jamie Riggs, who had a career record of 293-62. “He always told me he felt lucky to get to play for the coach that he got to play for,” Smith said. “T.R. Miller has a very good football tradition.” After graduating from T.R. Miller, Glaize went to Auburn University, where he received a bachelor of English in language arts education. He graduated from Auburn in December 2017. From there, Glaize got an internship at Auburn High School where he formed a relationship with Jeff Williams. Williams is the one who introduced

GENERALS DOMINATE

Glaize to Benjamin Russell and Smith. “It was kind of funny because I got an email from Curtis sending me his resume about the same time coach Williams was giving him glowing reviews,” Smith said. “In a nutshell, coach Williams said, ‘I worked with this guy for a year and if you get the chance to bring him in, you need to do that.’” Glaize was hired by Benjamin Russell as a mass media teacher, and Smith immediately brought him onto the Wildcat coaching staff as an offensive line coach and offensive coordinator for the JV squad. “I knew right then that he was a guy that was really passionate and wanted to get into coaching,” Smith said.

Horseshoe Bend’s Maggie Wood goes up for a kill against Wadley on Monday night.

Horseshoe Bend takes straight set victory over Wadley By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

In the early goings of Monday night’s volleyball match, it didn’t look like it was going to be an easy day at the office for Horseshoe Bend. But after going point for point with Wadley through the first half of the opening set, the Generals

took off, dominating the rest of the way. They won, 25-11, 25-7 and 25-15. “I think we just needed to settle in,” Horseshoe Bend coach Julie Turner said. “Sometimes when we play at home, we get a little rattled. We worry about everything else around us, and we need to focus in on what we’re doing.”

Wadley even held a 7-5 lead in the opening points, but after the Generals took a 10-9 lead, they never trailed again in the opening set. Ashley Clanton got the Generals going with five straight service points, two of which were highlighted by kills from Harleigh Moss. But Horseshoe Bend really starting dominating

when Maggie Wood took the service line. “Our serves were really good tonight,” Turner said. “I was really pleased with how we served the ball tonight, and that was something we needed to work on. I thought we did real good in that area.” Wood reeled off eight See GENERALS • Page 12

Auburn, Alabama blow out non-conference opponents By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

As expected, both Auburn and Alabama dominated Saturday, with the Tigers defeating Alabama State, 63-9, and the Crimson Tide downing Arkansas State, 57-7. Questions had been surrounding Auburn’s rushing attack after it had just 147 yards in the opener against Washington. But against a lesser opponent, the Tigers proved extremely potent on the ground, gaining 429 rushing yards and six touchdowns against Alabama State. “I’m glad we got the victory,” Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said in a release. “I liked the way that we put the game away early. We got a chance to play some young guys which was much needed. A lot of those guys are going to be playing this season and we got them out there to get experience and get their feet wet.” JaTarvious Whitlow led Auburn (2-0) with 122 yards on the ground, while See COLLEGE • Page 12

o the surprise of no one, I spend a great deal of my life apologizing. I admittedly screw up more than a ceiling fan-installer (see, because a ceiling fan-installer has to ‘screw up’ in terms of getting the bolt connections in place because the fan is on the ceiling. Never mind, I am sorry for this terrible analogy.) Anyway, below are various apologies from me to the people who deserve them most: College football teams. I am sorry … for doubting Georgia. What the Bulldogs did to South Carolina last Saturday is outlawed in 49 states (New Mexico is slow to get on board). UGA coach Kirby Smart is using the template Nick Saban created to destroy SEC East opponents — and all opponents in general — unmercifully. The most important aspect is to be dominant in the trenches. In last Saturday’s contest, Georgia had 271 yards rushing; South Carolina had 54. That’s definitely being dominant. I am sorry … I believed in South Carolina. Look up one paragraph to see most of the reasons why. The main reason should be I had faith in Will Muschamp. Yes, he is recruiting well in Columbia, but there was no real indication he’d be able to go toe-totoe scheme-wise with Kirby Smart. I am sorry … I picked Washington to be in the College Football Playoffs. The final score of the Auburn game may have seemed close, but where did the Huskies look like the better team position-wise? Running back, maybe, but that’s it. The Tigers were bigger, stronger and faster everywhere else. My other picks of Clemson, Wisconsin and Alabama are all viable candidates, but I seriously messed up believing a Pac-12 team was good enough to make a run. I am sorry … to the woman driving the light blue 2009 Mercedes I cut off in traffic this morning. My bad. But in my defense, I was in a hurry. I am sorry … I wasn’t in Lexington, Kentucky late Saturday night. I bet that place was partying like it was 1986 after the Kentucky Wildcats defeated the Florida Gators for the first time in 31 years. Finally, I feel sorry … For the scoreboard operator in Oxford, Mississippi this coming weekend. Whoever is in charge of that unenviable duty in the Alabama versus Ole Miss game is sure to get carpal tunnel syndrome trying to keep pace with those two teams. So that’s all the mea culpas for this week. Stay tuned next Tuesday as I am sure I have messed up a lot more by then.

Shaun Shivers also hit the century mark with 117 rushing yards. Six different Tigers — Shivers, Kam Martin, Harold Joiner, Malik Miller, Jarrett Stidham and Anthony Schwartz — scored rushing touchdowns. Stidham went 6-for-11 for 113 passing yards and one touchdown through the air. Defensively, the Tigers forced four turnovers and held Alabama State to just 47 rushing yards.

Alabama rolls past Arkansas State

The top-ranked Alabama football team cruised to a 57-7 win over Arkansas State in the Crimson Tide’s home opener at Bryant-Denny Stadium Saturday afternoon. Alabama threw five touchdown passes in the first half with sophomore Tua Tagovailoa completing three and junior Jalen Hurts connecting for two scores. For the game Tagovailoa completed 13-for19 passing attempts for a career-high 228 yards and four touchdowns, while Hurts went seven-for-nine for 93 yards and two

scores. The six scoring tosses equals the second most in a game for UA school history. Tagovailoa’s four touchdown passes also ranks second on the individual singlegame touchdown passes list. Sophomore running back Najee Harris eclipsed the 100-yard mark for the first time in his career after running for 135 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries. Five different receivers caught touchdown passes, including two by sophomore Jerry Jeudy. Offensively, the Tide finished with 599 yards of total offense – 321 through the air and 278 on the ground. On the defensive side of the ball, sophomore defensive back Xavier McKinney paced the Tide with a careerhigh seven tackles as Alabama limited the Red Wolves to a single third quarter touchdown. Junior defensive back Savion Smith posted the Tide’s third non-offensive touchdown of the season with a 38-yard interception return for a touchdown in the second quarter.

Glaize “He had a great personality and got along really well with the kids. Coaches that are that young struggle with relationships because, really, he was closer to the kids’ age than he was to mine. “They either want to be buddies with the kids, and if they don’t do that, they go the other way and try to compensate by not relating to them or being standoffish. Curtis did an awesome job of going between, having a mature relationship with them but also being very nice and caring. The kids really liked him. That

straight service point, including five straight aces, to cap off the first set. Horseshoe Bend’s serves were once again on point in the second set with long runs from Chloe Prickett and Wood. In the third and final set, the Generals started to try some different things out, moving Kennedy Templeton onto the front row to try some serving duties. Nadia Freeman, who is a newcomer this season, also got more time as a blocker, and although the frame was much closer, especially early on, Horseshoe Bend once again ran away with things. For the second match in a row, the Generals showed off their offensive versatility with five different players recording at least six kills. Wood and Caly Carlisle each had six kills, while Moss finished with three. Clanton picked up two kills, and Jahia Jennings recorded one. But it was the Generals’ serving that really carried them to the victory. They finished with 17 total aces. Wood led with five, while Carlisle and Prickett each had three. Clanton, Kate Lewis and Abby Cheatam all nailed two apiece. Horseshoe Bend has an 8-2 record heading into area play. The Generals face off against LaFayette then head to Woodland on Thursday. “It’s really still uncertain because I don’t know what the other teams have,” Turner said. “After this week we’ll see what we’re going to do, but I do feel

enabled him to coach at a high level because the kids believed in him.” Although Glaize didn’t spend too much time with the Wildcat family, he was immediately a member of it. Smith reminisced about Sunday workdays, when he said Glaize was never late and was always the last to leave. “There were a couple of nights here where it was just he and I in the building, and I had to tell him to leave,” Smith said with a laugh. “He was definitely a hard worker.” More than that, Glaize

embodied the message Smith and his coaching staff have been trying to preach to the Wildcats. “His highs never got too high or his lows too low,” Smith said. “He was a very even-keeled guy from what I knew of him. He was always very articulate, and he was a good communicator. He had a very easygoing personality.” Benjamin Russell cancelled its JV game against Wetumpka on Monday night and plans to do something in remembrance of Glaize during its home game Friday against Selma.
