Mosquito control discontinued
Hammock said city will no longer spray for the remainder of year By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
After hearing from concerned parents, Tallassee Mayor Johnny Hammock said the city will no longer spray for mosquito control for the remainder of the year. This move comes after concerned parents contacted city officials
City awarded $520K TAP grant
because city employees were straying insecticide in the area while the youth league football teams were at practice. “We are no longer going to spray for mosquitoes this year.,” Hammock said. “We are close enough to the end of summer, so we are not going to spray anymore.” Hammock says the city utilizes a popular mosquito repellent, Mosquito
Master 214, which has been used in the U.S. for more than 50 years. According to the Mosquito Master 214 label, the pesticide is harmful to humans and animals if swallowed or absorbed through the skin. It is toxic to aquatic organisms including fish and aquatic invertebrates. The product is also “highly toxic to bees” exposed to direct treatment on blooming crops or weeds. Mosquito Master 214 has two active ingredients, chlorpyrifos and permethrin. Chlorpyrifos, sold under many brand names, is an organophosphate pesticide

used to kill many pests including insects and worms. It’s used on crops, animals, and buildings. Introduced in 1965 by Dow Chemical Company, chlorpyrifos acts on the nervous system of insects. Permethrin has been used much longer than chlorpyrifos and appears to be much safer than its counterpart. Permethrin, discovered in 1973, is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines — the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system.

Annual agriculture day postponed until 2019
By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
Imagine a downtown area with a fresh facade, underground power lines, freshly laid sidewalks, updated lighting and free Wi-Fi. This vision could soon be the reality thanks to a Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) grant benefiting the downtown. The $520,000 grant funded by the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT), requires a $205,000 match, much less than the typical 50/50 match. “This is a big one — $725,000 worth of work for $205,000,” Tallassee Mayor, Johnny Hammock said. “This is the largest grant that we have been awarded since we took office in 2016.” See GRANT • Page A2

Since that time, Hammock and the current city council have secured more than $1 million in grant funds. This grant would give the entire downtown area a face-lift. “This will be a streetscape in downtown Tallassee,” Hammock said. “Streets, sidewalks, trees and other stuff. It will be great.” According to ALDOT, the TAP grant provides funding for programs and projects defined as transportation alternatives, including on- and off-road pedestrian and bicycle facilities, infrastructure projects for improving non-driver access to public transportation and enhanced mobility. The grant will also help with community improvement activities and environmental mitigation, including recreational trail program projects, safe routes to school projects, and projects for planning, designing or constructing boulevards and other roadways, largely in the right-of-way of former interstate system routes or other divided highways. If the funds are sufficient, this could repave sidewalks in the downtown area to Tallassee High School’s campus. With plans for a new high school in the works, this project could turn the tide for the struggling downtown area. “This is great news for the city of Tallassee,” downtown business owner Haley Daniels said. “Downtown Tallassee has so much potential, and this grant is another step. I believe this will draw more people to shop downtown and draw more businesses into the area. I am excited for the future of downtown Tallassee.” The council was set to on an ordinance to accept this grant and begin the process of rejuvenating Tallassee’s downtown area during Tuesday’s council meeting.

for years and is considered to be “effective and safe,” the same cannot be said about chlorpyrifos. On March 29, 2017, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt denied a petition to ban chlorpyrifos. However, on Aug. 9, 2018, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the EPA to ban the sale of chlorpyrifos in the United States within 60 days. Because of the recent concerns voiced by parents, Hammock says the city could take a different approach to mosquito control next season. “We will have to evaluate the situation and make a decision before next spring,” he said. The council members were scheduled to discuss this topic during Tuesday’s regularly scheduled city council meeting.

by which a longarm sewing machine is used to sew together a quilt top, quilt batting and quilt backing into a finished quilt. The longarm sewing machine frame typically ranges from 10-14 feet in length. Lumpkin says the idea to display and sell local quilts came from a neighboring library. “The library in Auburn has quilts in its library from local groups that are swapped out periodically,” she said. There are quilts of various sizes and themes. The University of Alabama and Auburn University quilts are available, as well as quilts with a myriad of colors and patterns, each uniquely fashioned. “They are all one of a kind,” Lumpkin said. “No two are the same.” The quilts vary in price, with the highest priced at $175. With the sale of each quilt, the library will receive 10 percent of the proceeds. The money will help to furnish bring in new reading materials and other library expenses. “Books, tables, chairs and anything that the library needs,” she said. To allow everyone an opportunity to view the quilts, they will be on display for several weeks. “They make great gifts, and with Christmas approaching, this is a perfect time to purchase one or two,” Lumpkin said. “Some of the smaller ones would make great throws, and the larger quilts could fit a bed. They look great on display also.” Three different groups stitched the quilts that are on display and Lumpkin encourages other quilters to get involved. “We welcome local quilters and would like to display others,” she said.

pressing apple cider and much more. The event also features a variety of farm animals, tractors and other innovative farming equipment. The popular attraction is a favorite among locals, drawing a large number of people to the Tallassee area. This year, however, coordinators need time to regroup and reorganize the event after instrumental contributors from Auburn’s Department of Agriculture recently retired. “We had several people who are closely associated with it who recently retired,” Auburn Department of Agriculture Communication and Marketing specialist Jamie Creamer said. “We haven’t replaced them yet, and as a result other personnel have been spread pretty thinly, so the decision was made to hold off this year, take a rest and return next year.” Ag and Adventure Day is an annual event that has grown in popularity and size over the years. “Every year it has grown, and more activities have been added,” Creamer said. “But this year we didn’t have that manpower.” According to Creamer, several people have reached out to the university to learn more about this year’s Ag and Adventure Day, only to met with the disappointing news of postponement. “We have had so many phone calls and emails asking about it, some from as far away as Dallas County. It hurts to say that we won’t have it this year, but the good news is, it will return,” she said. “It will be back in 2019.”

Two charged with attempted murder after pursuit “Purple Cow” Chevron gas station on Alabama 143 in the town of Elmore. Franklin said they forced the couple to withdraw money from an ATM, and the couple fled after they gave the money to Mann and the juvenile. Mann and the juvenile drove Mann away and hit an iron guard on a railroad crossing close to 143 in Elmore. According to Franklin, a 47-yearold “good Samaritan” saw that their car was incapacitated and stopped to help. Mann allegedly tried to take the man’s cell phone and then stabbed the man seven times. “He actually was leaned over,

A man and a juvenile, both of Eclectic, were taken into custody on Sept. 2 after a manhunt through various parts of Elmore County. Ronald Jason Mann, 32, who lists an address on Ginger Lane, and a 16-year-old juvenile were both charged with two counts of robbery in the first degree and attempted murder in the first degree. According to Elmore County Sheriff Bill Franklin, Mann and the juvenile picked up a middle-aged couple, who the suspects knew, from the 6000 block of Holtville Road in Wetumpka and drove them to the
trying to look at the battery (in their car) when he was stabbed,” Franklin said. Franklin said Mann’s knife pierced one of the man’s lungs, his liver, his back, his neck and his lower abdomen. The man was transported to a nearby hospital and was reported to be in critical condition as of Tuesday. “We’re concerned about him, because he was in that condition last week. We’re hoping he’ll get better soon,” Franklin said. Franklin said Mann and the juvenile tried to leave in the victim’s car, but could not find the keys and left on foot.
While police were searching for Mann and the juvenile, Franklin said they received information from an area in Coosada that led to the arrest. Both suspects were arrested and booked into the Elmore County Jail on bonds totaling $750,000 each. Attempted murder and first degree robbery are both Class A felonies, which are punishable by a maximum sentence of life in prison. Both cases were assigned to Elmore County Circuit Court Judge Glenn Goggans. Franklin said Mann’s arrest came only days after he bonded out of the Elmore County Jail on previous charges. “Mr. Mann is a frequent flyer here. He’s been in jail several times,” Franklin said.
Eclectic holding 26th Alabama Cotton Festival on Oct. 13 By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
The town of Eclectic is getting ready to celebrate the 26th annual Alabama Cotton Festival, which will be held on Main Street from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 13. Assistant Town Clerk Elizabeth Geer said the Cotton Festival serves to celebrate the town’s origins as a cottongrowing community while also providing a plethora of fun activities for the whole family. Geer said the Cotton Festival will feature a variety of vendors, a live DJ, live entertainment, a car show, a dog show, an art and photography show, the Alabama Cotton Queen Pageant and a Kids Zone. “It’s just to get out there and mingle and have fun without technology,” Geer said. This year, she said they are bringing back the Cotton Run 5k and fun run, which has not been a part of the Cotton Festival for about three years. The Cotton Run starts at 7 a.m., and is expected to last about an hour and a half. Geer said the Cotton Festival will also hold the second annual chicken race at noon, where

they plan to race live chickens. Because both the University of Alabama and Auburn University’s football teams have home games on the day of the event, Geer said the games may be projected on a wall for people to watch at the Eclectic Warehouse event venue. “We will have an Alabama

said. “It started out as a yard sale, and then it just kind of grew.” Rowe said the Cotton Festival was initially started by Eclectic the Beautiful as a community-wide flea market, and morphed into an annual festival after local merchants got involved. Typically, Geer said the turnout at the Cotton Festival is high, and people come “from all over” to participate. “Last year, we had about 5,000 people come through. Eclectic’s only got about 1,100-ish people,” Geer said. “We’ve had good attendance for years, but I do believe the last year was the largest we’ve had in a while,” Rowe added. Currently, Geer said she has over 90 vendors registered to participate in the Cotton Festival, and she is expecting about 20 more to sign up before the event. “A lot of our vendors use this as their first event. It kind of gets their names out there,” Geer said. More information about the Alabama Cotton Festival can be found on the town’s website, Townofeclectic.com, or on the “Town of Eclectic” Facebook page.

THE TALLASSEE TRIBUNE
Recalling ‘that non-championship season’ of 1965 T
here’s a group of former Sidney Lanier High School athletes that meet monthly for lunch at a Montgomery buffet restaurant. Most of them graduated in the first half of the 1950s, which means they’re in their 80s. From what I can determine, the youngest regular attendee started at Lanier but transferred to Lee High School when Montgomery’s second white public high school opened in the fall of 1955. The camaraderie of the attendees is obvious at such meetings, and such regular get togethers probably aren’t unique in this nation. One would imagine that thousands of former athletes from thousands of high schools might converge on occasion to catch up with each other, particularly if their exploits had resulted in memorable seasons. A 1972 play, “That Championship Season,” addressed such an assemblage (of basketball players). The drama won a Pulitzer Prize, and was made into a movie a decade later. Another movie version was presented on a cable
premium channel in 1999. The basic plot of “That Championship Season” isn’t upbeat. Any celebratory attitude regarding the reunion of the former members of a state championship basketball team is quickly doused. Instead, the assorted mid-life crises of the players are displayed and dissected, and their coach doesn’t come across as an ultimate role model either. However, most of the reallife reunions with which I’m familiar weren’t, and aren’t, “downer” experiences. In this area, there have been reunions of players coached by Tallassee’s “Hot” O’Brien and Reeltown’s Duane Webster, which were positive experiences for everyone who attended, and that’s the way those types of events should be. Championship aspirations also figured into the chronicles of the Lanier football teams in the mid-‘60s. The Poets won the first two Alabama high school official playoffs in the ’66 and ’67 seasons, going undefeated in both campaigns. Lanier would also win the crown in 1968, after

experiencing one defeat in the regular season. Nevertheless, the Poets were the official state champions for the first three years in the history of the playoffs. The playoff brackets were smaller when official championships were initiated. School classifications only went as high as 4A, and the original 1966 playoffs were held in 4A alone. There were only two semi-final games and a final contest. The 1966 championship game was against Lee (the second meeting that year). Many fans at the sold out Cramton Bowl will still tell you that the 9-7 Lanier win was the greatest game ever played in that legendary stadium. But a year earlier, the 1965 season had turned out to be an aberration for the usuallypowerful Poets. Imagine the
shock and consternation in Montgomery when, four games into the ’65 campaign, the Poets’ record stood at 1-3. They’d lost to A.G. Parrish of Selma, Tuscaloosa, and Leon of Tallahassee, Florida. Lanier’s football program was perceived as reeling, and more than one letter to the editor of a Montgomery newspaper decried the abilities of head coach Bobby Wilson and his staff. The Poets won two more games to even their record at 3-3, but some fans were dreading that year’s Homecoming game on Oct. 22 against Murphy of Mobile, because the visiting Panthers were ranked number one. Lanier blanked Murphy, 17-0. The Poets beat Davidson the next week, setting up a Nov. 5 sojourn to Dothan’s Rip Hewes Stadium for the next-tolast game of the season. The hometown Tigers had never lost in that venue, having finished 9-1 in ’64, when the stadium opened. They were also undefeated in the current season, and were now ranked number one going into the
home game against Lanier. Lanier prevailed 13-7, defeating a top-ranked 4A team for the second time in a single season. The season ended with a 6-6 tie against Lee, giving the Poets a final record of 6-3-1 for 1965. Coach Wilson would note that for all of the championships his teams might attain, he was equally proud of the way the 1965 team had pulled itself out of an early-season quagmire to grind out more than one memorable win. A reunion of Wilson-era football players was held in 2003, when the venerable coach was in declining health. He died two years later. One wonders how many of Bobby Wilson’s former players recall and revere the 1965 comeback season, compared to the championship seasons. The same line of thinking could apply to the alumni of any football team of any era, anywhere.

T
A tale of two Pauls
his was the first time. It was a coincidence, and it’s probably the last time. But Friday, Sept. 7 is a date I’ll remember forever in my record-loving mind. Two of the greatest artists of all time released albums of new music on Friday. How many people who were writing and performing songs in 1958 are still writing and performing fresh, new pop music in 2018? That’s right – just these two guys: Paul Simon and Paul McCartney. Paul Simon was performing with his elementary school best friend Art Garfunkel back then as a rock duo called Tom & Jerry. They had a hit with “Hey Schoolgirl,” and even appeared on American Bandstand. Of course, within five years, they would make it big as Simon & Garfunkel, and record some phenomenal and unforgettable music. Paul McCartney had just joined John Lennon’s band the Quarrymen, and together with Paul’s buddy George Harrison they began performing all over the Liverpool area. Lennon and McCartney would go on to become perhaps the greatest songwriting duo of the rock and roll era, and composed a body of work that will be listened to and performed for years to come. In other words, even if Paul and Paul had stopped in the 60s, we’d still remember them for their legendary work. For whatever reason, though, their restless muse keeps them alive. And after all these years, these guys are still putting out quality work, even when they could be sitting at home collecting royalty checks. For Simon, his new album is actually a reimagining of some of his older work that may have fallen through the cracks. His new recording, “In the Blue Light” finds him partnering with jazz great Wynton Marsalis at Lincoln Center
MICHAEL BIRD Columnist for some terrific updates to Simon’s compositions. A couple of standouts: the album begins with a slow-jam Dixieland version of “One Man’s Ceiling is Another Man’s Floor,” from 1973. The swampy vibe carries over to some of the other tracks, featuring guitarist Bill Frisell in the mix along the way. “Darling Lorraine,” a forgotten track from 2000, is stripped of its world beat sound of 20 years ago, exposing a one-sided end to a weary relationship. A favorite is “Rene and Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After The War,” a 1983 B-side now sounding like the music one would hear at closing time in a jazz bar. Simon’s lyrics are still unbeatable. He crams more meaning into his sentences than just about any other writer. And yet, he recently told an NPR interviewer, “I literally felt like a switch clicked, and I said, ‘I’m finished.’” If his farewell tour is any indication, he is done with the road, but hopefully the new album shows he still has a lot to say in the studio. It’s hard to imagine Paul McCartney ever quitting the road. The only time he took off was when the other Beatles opted not to tour. Since he began his post-Beatles group Wings in 1972, and since 1981 as a solo artist, Sir Paul has released dozens of albums and performed thousands of concerts. Like Paul Simon, Paul McCartney refuses to go quietly. McCartney’s new record, “Egypt Station” is carried by a theme of a train trip, complete with linking music
and sound effects at each stop. The album is produced by Greg Kurstin, who has also been behind the boards for Adele, Sia, and Beck in recent years. Paul has been on a tear lately, appearing in a pretty special “Carpool Karaoke” segment with late night host James Corden and in hilarious sketches with The Tonight Show’s Jimmy Fallon. He’s also performed in some surprise concerts around the U.S. as well as in his homeland. Musically speaking, he still holds the firmest grasp on melody of anybody in his generation. His tuneful new single, “Come on to Me” sounds like a song you’ve known forever, on about the second spin (in fact, my 4-year-old daughter was singing it without any prompting just yesterday). But there are some really great tracks on this record; “Who Cares” and “C-Link” completely rock like Wings were still together, and Paul’s voice sounds like it did in the 70s. “Dominoes” and “Despite Repeated Warnings” take on more mature themes with music to match. “Happy With You” and “I Don’t Know” are also quality tracks with great musicianship and production that would be the envy of an artist half – or a third – of Paul’s age. Who would have thought back in 1964 when “The Sound of Silence” or “I Want to Hold Your Hand” were riding the charts that these guys would still be around? I, for one, am grateful that these two Pauls put out some awesome new music on the same day. Let’s treasure them while they are still here and play some of their new stuff along with the old.

Talks THE TALLASSEE TRIBUNE
STEVE FLOWERS Columnist
Flowers talks illegal immigrants and census
C
onservative Republicans, like Jeff Sessions, have been obsessed with illegal immigrants for years. Sessions is and has always been a stickler for obeying the laws of our land. He is the most honest, upright, squeaky clean, politician I have ever seen in my lifetime of observing politics in Alabama. He is like Dudley Do Right, only shorter and straighter. He was an Eagle Scout and you can tell he was not making it up on his resume. He epitomizes a grownup Eagle Scout. He has never outgrown the straight and narrow path. During his 20-year tenure in the U.S. Senate as our junior Senator, he was the ultimate ideologue and one of, if not the most, conservative members of the Senate. He did not just give lip service to his reactionary positions, He put leg service in to every rightwing cause and issue. He was the Attorney General of Alabama before his election to the U.S. Senate. Prior to that he was the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama in Mobile. Being a prosecutor has always been his passion. Therefore, when Donald Trump offered him the U.S. Attorney General post that is why he took it. Most U.S. Senators would have balked at abandoning a safe Senate seat they could stay in for life. Our Senior Senator, Richard Shelby, would have laughed in Trump’s face if he offered him a Cabinet position. Shelby would have told him, “Thanks but no thanks.” If Trump had offered him his job as president, Shelby would have considered it a demotion. Probably the only reason that Jeff Sessions will not be fired by the irrational Trump is that he knows that Shelby and Mitch McConnell and the Republican Senate leadership would automatically dissolve any power that Trump has as President. He would be rendered irrelevant when it comes to how any federal dollars are appropriated. For you see, Chairmanship of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee trumps the President every day of the week. There is an old adage that those that have the gold make the rules. Trump understands that rule. Having said all that, Jeff Sessions and Donald Trump are right. We have immigration laws in this country, the same way that we have bank robbery and mail fraud laws. Without these laws and the upholding and adherence to these laws, we would have complete anarchy in the United States. It is not right or lawful that Mexicans enter the country illegally while other people from Brazil, China or Europe are properly applying for citizenship. The law should be upheld. States like California have been gleefully welcoming illegal immigrants for decades. It has basically ruined the once Golden State. They are now so deep in debt from giving free health care and school systems to illegals that they will never recover. My interest has been here at home in Alabama. It was not our problem. However, folks, it now is our problem; because California may steal one of our seven Congressional Districts by counting illegal, undocumented Mexicans in the 2020 census. Alabama is now at risk of losing a seat in the U.S. House and concurrently an electoral vote in the presidential elections because we have experienced slower growth than other states; especially those who count people who are here illegally. Conservative states like Alabama have filed suit in federal court to stop the count of illegals. The census count is immensely important. It determines the number of seats that each state has in Washington, which also determines the number of electoral votes which ultimately decides the presidency. California wants to use these illegal residents to steal congressional representation from conservative states like us and even states like Ohio who have not harbored hordes of illegal immigrants. This court battle will boil down to a simple question: Who should be counted? The biggest census battle to determine the answer to this question was started by the Trump administration and implemented by Attorney General Sessions. It is a mandate that the census questionnaire will ask: Are you a citizen? Folks we have a lot at stake. To lose a congressman to a state like California due to the counting of illegal aliens, could mean not only less representation but billions of dollars in federal grants for Medicaid, Medicare, housing assistance and transportation. You may have been ambivalent about illegal immigration, but it affects you and it could affect you very adversely if you reside in Alabama. See you next week.

It’s about that time of the year
I
t was about this time every year that we got our big Sears and Roebuck catalog. The reason I say big is Sears sent out smaller catalogs during the year. If a person ordered a shotgun, he could expect a catalog of hunting equipment later. It was the big one that all of us looked forward to. Lay that catalog flat down on the bedroom floor and start turning pages. I could care less about the women’s dresses, shoes or girdles, I wanted to get to the toys, bicycles, wagons, and other things of true value. Not foolishness like girdles, tea sets, or girls’ dresses. We didn’t have much or hardly any money so about all we could do is wish and daydream. My brother was about five years older than I was. As we turned the pages we came up on the hunting boots. These boots came up to the bottom of your knees and the socks were long enough to come past the tops and fold over. He took a pencil and drew a circle around those boots. The price, shipping and all, was around $8. If mama had it she would have bought those boots in a minute, but daddy was a different person when it came to spending money, so we didn’t waste our time asking him for it. We made a dog-
RONALD BRANTLEY Columnist ear on that page, so it would be easy to find when we went back to look at it. Now, I was a different case altogether. I could find all kinds of things, so I dog-eared a lot of pages and put circles around a lot of pictures. A Gene Autry cap gun, I wasn’t to hip on the Gene Autry cowboy suit, but I did want a cap gun and leather holster that slung down low on my leg for a fast draw. I’ll tell you more about this later. Of course, I wanted a bicycle but that was way out of my dream world; maybe a coaster wagon. There were so many things to look at and dream about, a person could fill up a rainy afternoon or night after homework was done just looking at that shiny new catalog. Once we got the new catalog we were free to do whatever with the old one. The girls had been saving cracker boxes just for an occasion like this one. They would go to the women’s section, cut out a pretty woman in a pretty
dress, and they would paste the picture to the cracker box then cut around it to make stiff paper dolls. The girls got really good at this. The hardware pages were thin and could be used in the bathroom in case we ran out of toilet tissue. The other slick pages we used for building fires in the stove and fireplaces so none of the catalog was wasted. I do wish we had saved the catalog my brother marked. Let us go back to the Gene Autry cap gun. Some fifteen years or so ago a lady friend of mine heard me talking about the cap gun and she got in touch with the Gene Autry Museum in Gene Autry, Oklahoma. She bought the gun from somewhere, I don’t know how much she paid but of all the guns in my cap gun collection, this one means the most to me. Life would be much better if we knew what to save and what to throw away. I would have kept that catalog.

Letters to the Editor
Gubernatorial debate good for Alabama Dear Editor, We are a little more than two months away from Election Day and Gov. Kay Ivey is still dodging candidate Walt Maddox’s debate challenge. The Maddox campaign recently released a video on social media showing an empty debate podium with “Kay Ivey” written on it and a caption that lists the “debate topic” as abortion, guns and the U.S. Supreme Court. Ivey has refused to debate both her primary challengers and Maddox. Gov. Ivey needs to remember she is an “appointed” incumbent as
opposed to an “elected” incumbent and there is a difference. As the Lt. Governor she was appointed governor upon the resignation of Robert Bentley and many of us have questions about her views that would be vetted through actual debates during the election process. In addition to the “debate topics” that were listed in Maddox video, I have more questions that strike closer to home here in Alabama that I would like to hear their view on. These include statewide issues such as economic development in depressed areas, the growing healthcare crisis we face, Medicaid
expansion, and our prison crisis among others. I would also like to hear their views on local issues such as their role in addressing citizen’s concerns regarding possible illegal actions taken by county commissions (an issue I raised in Elmore County this year). The bottom line is straightforward. No candidate running for office should be given a pass on engaging in public debate in order to get fully vetted. Gov. Ivey, the ball is in your court. Michael E. Waters Elmore
What purpose does the Alabama Ethics Commission have? Dear Editor, I am disappointed to find myself, once again, in a position to ask what purpose the Alabama Ethics Commission serves to the people of this state. To whom are the elected officials or those seeking public office to look to for ethical political leadership? The people of Alabama need an Ethics Commission that will enforce the laws and regulations it is charged with enforcing, with consistency. When campaigns file their fundraising disclosures with the Secretary of State’s office, they are required to file on a given date no later than 11:59 p.m. When candidates and political action committees (PACs) fail to file these reports in a timely manner, the law requires the Secretary of State’s Office to issue a civil penalty based on the amount of contributions and expenditures from that reporting period. In the event that a candidate or PAC wishes to appeal the penalty, the Secretary of State’s office is required to send those requests to the Alabama Ethics
Commission, allowing members of the Commission to determine whether the penalty should be upheld or not. At three previous Ethics Commission meetings, in February, April and June of 2018, the commission waived fines on 12 appeals that were filed outside the 14-day window allowed by law. However, during the Commission’s meeting on Sept. 5, they declined to hear cases filed outside the 14-day window, saying they didn’t have jurisdiction and declining to rule on whether that penalty would stand — despite having previously done so previously 12 times in 2018. It is the position of the Secretary of State’s Office that these specific matters were improperly set aside and should be reinstated by the Commission. And, in spite of a request from counsel for the Ethics Commission, the Secretary of State’s Office will continue to adhere to the requirements of state law which clearly establishes the Commission as the sole body with authority to overturn a penalty issued for a campaign or political action committee
filing a financial disclosure form after the due date. Previously, Ethics Commission Executive Director Tom Albritton stated, “the commissioners reviewed those files and discussed them in detail before our meeting. So they reviewed every one of them as they have for every meeting.” If that is true, then why have they just now become aware of these appeal date issues? Each appeal delivered to the Alabama Ethics Commission is delivered as a file which includes each file that was not timely filed and a copy of the date the appeal was filed. The Code of Alabama directs the Secretary of State’s Office to work in conjunction with the Alabama Ethics Commission to administer the Fair Campaign Practices Act. Therefore, without communication and cooperation between our agencies, as well as the commission’s consistent application of the laws and rules established by the legislature, the FCPA does not work.

County school board holds first budget hearing By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Staff Writer
The Elmore County Board of Education discussed federal and state allocations, as well as projected expenditures, for the 2018 and 2019 fiscal years during a budget hearing Thursday afternoon. According to Elmore County Public Schools Chief Financial Officer Jason Mann, the majority of the allocations from the state increased from last year. The projected budget for the 2018-19 academic year is more than $106 million. The majority of funding comes from the state and roughly $26 million is expected to come in from local sources. Mann said they were allocated more than $67 million from the state to cover more than 11,000 students enrolled in Elmore County. However, they are expected receive less funding than initially stated due to fluctuating numbers of students at the J.F. Ingram Trade School, which is attended by residents of the Frank Lee Youth Center. He said the decrease will not affect day-today business. “I know for a fact the number in this budget is (currently) half a million dollars more than it’s
to be about $13 million. Mann said portions of the budget will be used to increase its focus on the system’s alternative education, virtual education, career-technical education programs and professional development for staff. Mann said they are concentrating on expanding the system’s virtual school program, “attacking� construction needs for a new Redland Middle School, a new Elmore County Technical Center, as well as building arts facilities and additional classrooms throughout the area. He also said the system is looking to hire more special education staff. In the future, Mann said ECPS is looking to continue allowances for out-of-district student participation, increase the presence of student resource officers on campuses, expand mental health services and implement new programs for the Elmore County Alternative Program. A second budget hearing is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 17. More information about the budget will be available online at Elmoreco.com, and questions can be directed toward Mann at jason. mann@elmoreco.com
going to be, come October 1,� Mann said. Superintendent Richard Dennis said the decrease in funds will be a loss for the system, but will allow for a more accurate accounting process at a state level. “For the greater good, I think it’s in the right direction,� Dennis said. Mann said state allocations for classroom instructional support, pay raises, school nurses, technology coordinators, programs for at-risk students, transportation and career-technical education increased from last year. Elmore County was also awarded grants from the state for the pre-K classrooms at several elementary schools. In federal funding, ECPS Mann said allocations for students from low income households, teacher training special education and career-technical education increased, while funding for English as a Second Language (ESL) students slightly decreased. Mann said the decrease was due to a decline of ESL students in the area. ECPS’s projected expenditures amount to more than $109 million and by the end of 2018, the general fund balance is expected

THE TALLASSEE TRIBUNE
Tallassee creates vision for the future, adopts comprehensive plan STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
After months of planning, the Tallassee City Council has passed a 2040 comprehensive plan that will carry the city into the future. The Central Alabama Regional Planning and Development Commission (CARPDC) managed this project for the city. The Tallassee Planning Commission approved the 2040 plan on Aug. 6, and the city council ratified it at its Aug. 28 meeting. This participatory project kicked off this past October with a leadership retreat held at city hall. CARPDC secured a $51,000 USDA Rural Business Development Grant on behalf of the city to fund the project. Many Tallassee residents participated in community meetings where they shared ideas on topics such as transportation, utilities, environment, recreation, senior services, economic development, tourism, education and public safety. CARPDC recorded hundreds of comments received at these meetings to use for each section of the plan. City department managers also contributed their professional insight through onsite interviews conducted by CARPDC planning staff. Tallassee City Schools, the Chamber of Commerce, the Industrial Development Board, and the Talisi Historical Preservation Society also contributed to the planning process. “The comprehensive plan is the document that shapes our priorities and goals as we work to make Tallassee a thriving city that enhances the quality of life for all residents. I enjoyed hearing from everyone as they shared their ideas to improve the city and create new opportunities for everyone,� Mayor Johnny Hammock. Creating this plan took a group of volunteers from the community who wanted to aid in the development of a long-term plan for the future. “I moved to Tallassee for the small-town atmosphere, and want to help the city prosper any way I can,� said Joyce Vella, Tallassee resident and Planning Commission member. Throughout the comprehensive planning process, I heard ideas that I have never thought of and was inspired as I learned more about our city’s history and our community’s vision for its future.� The plan will be updated periodically as the city’s needs and priorities change.

Countywide cleanup set for Saturday By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
As the summer draws to a close, the temperatures outside are beginning to drop, and people are spending more time outside. The cooling temperatures lend to more outdoor activities like football games, but it’s also a time to think about spending some time cleaning up around the yard. Starting at 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 15, the Elmore County Commission is hosting its free Countywide Cleanup Day. The event is on the second Saturday of every month. Countywide Cleanup Days offer county residents 10 convenient locations across Elmore County to drop off household and lawn trash at no charge. This event is geared toward residential waste only. Organizers ask participants to bag and seal all household trash for regular pick up. Bagging and closing trash bags also prevent blown out garbage on the roadside. For those unable to take part in the September cleanup, the next one is Oct. 13. The same times and locations apply. Additional cleanup dates, times and locations, including a map with directions and GPS coordinates, are listed on the Elmore County web page Calendar of Events at www.elmoreco.org. Drop locations include: CEWSA Redland Road facility, the Coosada Post Office, the Town of Elmore annex, the Elmore County Judicial Complex, the Emerald Mountain Equestrian Center, Holtville High School and in Kent at the old highway department building.

New board members appointed to the Mt. Vernon Theater’s executive board By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
The Mt. Vernon executive board has a couple of new faces. Brooke Rigsby and Noah Griggs Jr. were recently appointed and both say they look forward to serving the theater and its patrons. The board is made up of community members who are committed to the theater’s success. Both Griggs and Rigsby are lifelong residents of Tallassee and local business owners. Rigsby owns and operates Studio B Dance Center, and Griggs is owner and operator of the 1220 Café. As local businesses owners, both understand that growing the theater will bring visitors into Tallassee and directly impact the local economy and businesses owners. “Excited to be here and to be a part of this,” Griggs said. “We’re trying to make a difference. We’re trying to make Tallassee a better place to live and we are going to do that.” Rigsby says she is enthusiastic about what the future holds for Tallassee and the Mt. Vernon Theater. “I am excited to see what can happen at the theater,” she said. Members of the executive board meet

once a month to discuss upcoming events and other details surrounding the historic theater. Lately, members have been busy creating a holiday lineup, which will include the Montgomery Ballet’s presentation of “The Nutcracker.” Additionally, LIFT Ministries will present the “Polar Express” with a special appearance of Santa Claus. Tallassee’s Friends of Tuckabatchee are already hard at work planning the upcoming performance of “The Magic of Christmas”, a live performance written by local favorite, Adrian Lee Borden. For the comedy lovers, the theater has planned a special presentation of National Lampoon’s “Christmas Vacation,” with a tacky sweater party with special prizes for
the tackiest sweater. There are also discussions about bringing two Christmas classics, “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “A Christmas Story,” to the theater. September and October events include the Birmingham Children’s Theater’s presentation of “Rumpelstiltskin”. The theater will also host a costume party and present “Hocus Pocus,” a Halloween favorite. Board members are encouraging everyone to come to see what the theater has to offer. “It’s always exciting,” executive board president Gene Lawrence said.

The Tallassee Chamber of Commerce is hosting another Chamber Chat at 5:30 p.m. Monday at Primesouth Bank. The chats bring people together in a friendly atmosphere, chamber director Jerry Cunningham said. Food and refreshments are provided. “This event will give people the opportunity to network and meet fellow community members,” Cunningham said. The chats have become a regular part of the chamber’s lineup, with the most recent event hosted at BB&T Bank. The turnout was due to busy summer schedules, but coordinators are hoping attendant will approve. “I think everyone was wrapping up their summer vacations and other summer activities,” Cunningham said. Chamber Chats are open to the public, and local businesses are encouraged to host the event. According to Cunningham, attending or hosting a Chamber Chat is a great way to keep up with everything that is going on in the area. “The biggest thing is networking, meeting new people, talking and finding out what’s going on in the city,” he said. Those planning to attend this month’s Chamber Chat, are asked to invite someone to come along. “I encourage everyone to bring a friend and show support for our chamber members,” Cunningham said. For more information about the upcoming Chamber Chat, or to find out how to host an upcoming chat, call 334252-5151.
Tallassee creates vision for the future, adopts comprehensive plan STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
After months of planning, the Tallassee City Council has passed a 2040 comprehensive plan that will carry the city into the future. The Central Alabama Regional Planning and Development Commission (CARPDC) managed this project for the city. The Tallassee Planning Commission approved the 2040 plan on Aug. 6, and the city council ratified it at its Aug. 28 meeting. This participatory project kicked off this past October with a leadership retreat held at city hall.
CARPDC secured a $51,000 USDA Rural Business Development Grant on behalf of the city to fund the project. Many Tallassee residents participated in community meetings where they shared ideas on topics such as transportation, utilities, environment, recreation, senior services, economic development, tourism, education and public safety. CARPDC recorded hundreds of comments received at these meetings to use for each section of the plan. City department managers also contributed their professional insight through onsite interviews conducted by CARPDC planning staff.

Tallassee City Schools, the Chamber of Commerce, the Industrial Development Board, and the Talisi Historical Preservation Society also contributed to the planning process. “The comprehensive plan is the document that shapes our priorities and goals as we work to make Tallassee a thriving city that enhances the quality of life for all residents. I enjoyed hearing from everyone as they shared their ideas to improve the city and create new opportunities for everyone,” Mayor Johnny Hammock said. Creating this plan took a group of volunteers from the community who wanted to aid in the development of
a long-term plan for the future. “I moved to Tallassee for the small-town atmosphere, and want to help the city prosper any way I can,” Tallassee resident and planning commission member Joyce Vella said. Throughout the comprehensive planning process, I heard ideas that I have never thought of and was inspired as I learned more about our city’s history and our community’s vision for its future.” The plan will be updated periodically as the city’s needs and priorities change.

Lying and daily bread
D
o you know Agur? If you do, I’m impressed. If you don’t, it’s okay. He’s not exactly a major character in the Bible. Agur’s name is mentioned only once in the Bible. We know his father’s name— Jakeh. That’s it for personal information about Augr. But we do know quite a few things he said. Preachers (maybe even this one sometimes) credit Solomon with all the Proverbs, sort of like attributing all the Psalms to David. But near the end of Solomon’s collection of wise sayings, the wise king includes sayings gleaned from a couple of other sources. Agur is cited as the source for the striking words found in Proverbs 30. Some of the most pointed lessons and poignant images in the whole book are in the chapter that has his name in the first verse. But it’s not one of Agur’s proverbs I want to meditate on today. Instead, I’d like us to focus our thoughts for a few minutes on the prayer included in his words:
“Two things I ask of you; deny them not to me before I die: Remove far from me falsehood and lying; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me” (Proverbs 30:7-8). Agur’s first request is not hard to understand. He asked to be far removed from falsehood and lying. Whether we were the liar or the one who’s been told lies, we know the destructive power of falsehood, don’t we? We don’t want to be guilty of a sin that seems to be as common as breathing among the human family, but is actually an abomination to God. And we don’t like to have relationships with, do business with or vote for people who do not tell us the truth. We get that one. But how about the two part request of the second petition? “Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me” (verse 8). The NIV puts that last phrase, “Give me only my daily bread.” That makes
MIKE MCELROY East Tallassee Church of Christ it clear, doesn’t it? Here, hundreds of years before Jesus taught his disciples to pray, is a pre-echo of Jesus’ prayer: “Give us this day our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11). Asking God to keep him from poverty is one thing. We have probably prayed something like that. But how about asking the Lord not to give us wealth? Have you ever asked that? I may have prayed something like, “Father, don’t give us a single dollar that would turn our hearts from you.” But most of the time, don’t we pray for more, not less, material things? Agur asked to be spared from the peculiar pressures that come with the extremes of both poverty and wealth. I like how he expressed his awareness that God is the one in control, giving him what
he had. And he expressed his trust in God to provide for his needs. But the text also has a statement of distrust in himself about handling wealth or poverty: “lest I be full and deny you and say, “Who is the Lord?” or lest I be poor and steal, and profane the name of my God” (verse 9). Agur knew human psychology. He realized we tend to credit ourselves in prosperity. God warned the Israelites about that very thing before they took the cities and ate the crops in Canaan. He said, “And you shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. Take care lest you forget the Lord your God…Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.’ You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth” (Deuteronomy 8:1011, 17-18). It’s easy to start trusting the gifts and forget the Giver (1 Timothy 6:17). Agur also knew it was in
him to steal if he got hungry enough. So his request for daily bread was like a guardrail against dishonoring his God by dishonest deeds. It’s another way of expressing trust in God. Our full kitchen pantries may make the prayer for daily bread sound hollow, simplistic or irrelevant. When we have money in our pocket and there’s food at the store, we may forget that God provides our sustenance. This mindset is a guard against greed, and a reminder to be content with what we have. It takes faith and courage to pray Agur’s prayer and mean it. Ask God for the grace to trust him completely to free us from fretting about material things, and to enjoy a peaceful contentment with what his hand provides. Do we have enough faith in God’s goodness and faithfulness to pray like Agur did? Mike McElroy is pastor at East Tallassee Church of Christ and a regular faith columnist for The Tribune.

HITTING THE ROAD After a surprising defeat at the hands of Greenville last week, the Tallassee Tigers will look to recover as they hit the road for the first time this season. The Tigers (2-1, 0-1 Class 5A Region 2) will play in Ozark against the Carroll Eagles on Friday night and Tallassee coach Mike Battles is ready to see how his team will respond to the first loss of the season. “We know it’s still early in the season,” Battles said. “We’ll learn from our mistakes and get back to work. Our kids are traditionally bounce back kids.” Since Battles took over the program in 2012, the Tigers are 11-5 in the week following a loss. They have not lost consecutive games since a three-game losing streak in the middle of the 2016 season. Carroll (2-0, 0-0) enters the game coming off a bye week. The meeting with Tallassee will be Carroll’s first home game and first region game of the season. The Eagles are 0-6 all-time against the Tigers but have had a program resurgence under coach Roger McDonald since the two teams last met. The Eagles have won 25 consecutive regular season games, dating back to the 2015 season. The school returned to 5A in 2016 and have won a region title in each of the last two seasons. Carroll is ranked No. 4 in the latest Alabama Sports Writers Association poll. “We know the team that we play is really

Tallassee’s Tavarious Griffith (2) scores a touchdown in a game earlier this season.
After just three weeks of the 2018 season, the Tallassee Tigers have already seen their share of physicality in the gridiron. With opponents they’ve played play a hardnosed style of football, the Tigers have had to match that toughness every week to have a chance to win. Tallassee senior Andy Baker has been a big part of that toughness this season. Baker plays on both sides Baker of the ball, lining up as the strong tackle on offense and as an outside end on the defensive side. Tallassee coach Mike Battles said Baker played 140 snaps in the team’s season opener against Montgomery Catholic. “He’s a three-year starter, a team leader, he just does everything for us,” Battles said. “As long as he’s out there, I feel pretty good.” Baker does not get much of a break during games and a majority of his time is spent at the line of scrimmage. While he spends limited time in pass coverage as a linebacker, the senior said he enjoys the physical play of being in the middle of every play. “There’s a few plays where I will stay outside of the line but I’d say 80 percent of my time is spent in the trenches,” Baker said. This is Baker’s third season on the defensive side of the ball but he did not start on the offensive line until the middle of his junior year. He said playing both ways has helped him improve at each position. “It’s helped me to know what to expect,” Baker said. “I know what each side of the ball is thinking.” Since his sophomore season began, Baker has recorded 21 tackles for a loss, three sacks See BAKER • Page B2

A group of Reeltown defenders swarm the Wolves’ in last week’s game against Fayetteville. Although Reeltown (3-0, 1-0) is favored to win against Horseshoe Bend (0-3, 0-1) Friday, it’s not ready to get complacent.
Reeltown looks to remain undefeated By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
For the 16th time, Reeltown and Horseshoe Bend will meet on the gridiron this Friday night. And the Rebels, who have cruised by all three of their opponents so far this season, look to pick up their 17th victory against the Generals. Heading into Friday night’s Class 2A Region 4 game, the squads couldn’t be in more opposite positions. Reeltown (3-0, 1-0) is undefeated and has outscored its opponents 117-14 so far this season. Horseshoe Bend (0-3, 0-1), on the other hand, is still searching for its first win and is coming off a 39-0 loss to Thorsby. The Rebels sit at No. 3 in the Class 2A Alabama Sports Writers Association rankings, and although they’re easily the
favorites this week, they’re not ready to get complacent. “We’ve gotta attack every single day the same way because the mission doesn’t change,” Reeltown coach Matt Johnson said. “We’re going in there with the mentality that what we’re doing still isn’t as good as what we could do. Being 3-0 is great, but as far as any of our goals, we haven’t accomplished anything else.” Reeltown is coming off a big win against Fayetteville, during which most of the starters were taken out after the first quarter. With the recent injury to Tre Tre Hughley, it’s been good for the Rebels to get reps for some of their younger players. Johnson said Scooter Brooks came on strong during last week’s game against the Wolves, and the Rebels also saw the return of Johnny Brown.
“When you have an opportunity to get some younger guys, who have been putting in the work, to get some reps, that’s great for those guys,” Johnson said. “They deserve it, and they did a very good job. There were some definitely bright spots with those guys.” But it’ll be the dual threat of Keke Hughley and Cameron Faison at tailback that’ll really carry the load for the Rebels, and Horseshoe Bend knows exactly what those guys are capable of. Last week, Faison rushed for more than 100 yards and did it on just five carries. “We have to try to limit the big plays,” Horseshoe Bend coach Josh Averett said. “They’ve got so many guys that are so explosive. You gotta try to make them drive the ball down field and hopefully See REELTOWN • Page B2

Generals’ top running back and also had a pair of sacks on defense last week against Thorsby. Going into Friday night’s game, the Generals are still trying to find their identity, but the Rebels aren’t expecting it to be a walk in the park. “We thought we were going to be somewhere else as this point and right now we’re struggling to find ourselves and figure out who we are,” Averett said. “That’s always a struggle.” Johnson said, “We expect their best. They’ve always played us extremely tough, and you go back probably six or eight years, this game has always been close. We expect to see the best Horseshoe Bend that we’ve seen all year, and that’s what we want.”
Elmore County Player of the Week
Patrick explodes for more than 300 yards By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
During Elmore County’s first ever win over Leeds on Friday night, DJ Patrick burst onto the scene. Patrick’s performance, which got the attention of the high school football community around the state, was capped off with his fifth rushPatrick ing touchdown of the game in the final minute to give the Panthers a 35-28 victory. “Coach looked at me and I knew it was coming,” said Patrick, who is the Elmore County Player of the Week. “I didn’t feel any pressure. I had no doubt that I was going to score on that play.” Patrick started his big night early in the first quarter with a 61-yard touchdown run to give the Panthers the first lead of the game. The senior added two more long scores before halftime, rushing for another 61-yard touchdown and a 60-yard touchdown. He put Elmore County up 21-0 in the second quarter. “It didn’t feel any different from any other game at the time,” Patrick said. “I just wanted to come out, run hard and beat them.” When Leeds erased the three-touchdown deficit, Patrick said that feeling changed. With the game tied 21-21 in the fourth quarter, he knew it would be a game to remember. “When they came back, I knew that I had to step up,” Patrick said. “I saw our guys looking down so I had to do something to be a leader and give us that excitement back.” As expected, Patrick delivered. Throughout the game, Leeds

had been avoiding Patrick in special teams. However, on the kickoff after Leeds tied the game, Patrick caught the ball and broke free to midfield to set the Panthers up in a good position. On the first offensive play, the senior took the ball 50 yards for the touchdown to retake the lead for the home team. “He plays offense, defense, every special team so it’s pretty impressive,” Elmore County coach Jordan Cantrell said. “He gives credit to the guys up front but he carries the ball really hard as well. He can read those blocks.” Patrick ran out of the wildcat for most of the game. The Panthers threw only six passes but the one completion made the difference for Patrick’s team. With Patrick off the field, fellow senior Shakwan Bickley caught a 35-yard pass to set the offense up at the 1-yard line. That set up Patrick’s final touchdown run of the night. “We knew who we were giving the ball to at the end,” Cantrell said. Patrick finished the night with career highs in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in a game. His 305-yard, five-touchdown performance came on just 19 carries. In the two previous meetings with Leeds, Patrick rushed for just 84 total yards and one touchdown on 33 carries. The game was Patrick’s 17th 100-yard game and third 200yard game of his career. The senior now has 461 rushing yards and seven touchdowns through two games this season. At his current pace, he could set a new school record for rushing yards in a season and pass his personal goal of 2,000 yards. “I still have that goal so I just have to keep running hard and not go down easily,” Patrick said.

and a field goal block. He has averaged 5.3 tackles per game during that time. “He goes 100 percent on every play,” Battles said. “He blocks hard and then turns around and plays every play on defense.” This season, Baker has had a bit of the pressure taken off of him as an offensive lineman. Kalvin Levett has taken over as quarterback and his running ability can make things easier for the blockers. It can also surprise them. “It definitely helps having a mobile quarterback but it can get a little confusing,” Baker said. “You’re blocking one guy and he cuts inside because Kalvin has just taken off in the other direction.” Levett said Baker has made
Baker it easier to get in sync with the offensive line. “It’s fun being able to work
with him on offense because we always work on the same page,” Levett said. “We’ve been working together to get better and it all starts at the line. So, when they do a good job, it just clicks.” When Baker is not on the football field, he is preparing for the wrestling season. He has made it to the final meet of the season in three consecutive years, falling in the state title game twice. Baker said football is his first love but wrestling has made him a better player. “Wrestling has helped on both sides of the ball,” Baker said. “It helps with tackling. And on the offensive line, it’s all about the low man wins which is the same thing so it definitely has helped me.”

good,” Battles said. “We need to continue to practice and improve so we can compete on Friday night.” Carroll allowed just one touchdown in each of its first two games this season. Over the course of the regular season winning streak, the Eagles have given up just 10.2 points per game. Tallassee, which fell out of the rankings this week, is averaging 21.7 points per game this season. Kalvin Levett is continuing to transition into the quarterback role. While there have been flashes of brilliance from Levett, there are still clear problems on the offensive end for the Tigers. Friday’s matchup with Carroll will not make things any easier. “They’re huge on both sides of the line,” Battles said. “It’s going to be another challenge where we have to deal with pure mass that we just can’t match.” Carroll’s extra week of preparation could
make it more difficult for the Tallassee offense to find success on the road. Battles admitted the bye week may help the Eagles but he said it’s just another challenge for the Tigers to complete. “It’s probably a little bit of an advantage but I don’t think it will be the difference in the game on Friday night,” Battles said. On offense, the Eagles will bring a power rushing attack that is led by running back Jonathan Fells. The Troy commit is listed as 5-foot-11, 220 pounds. He has four touchdowns through the first two games of the season. Last season, Fells finished with 1,123 all-purpose yards and had six games with at least 100 rushing yards. “They’re not complicated but they’re good at what they do,” Battles said. “They do a good job of staying low and making it difficult to tackle.”
