Rental ordinance discussion stalled By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

The Alexander City City Council tabled a reading and possible decision on an ordinance to provide for inspections and certificate of occupancy for housing rentals at Monday night’s meeting. The decision came after discussion in a public hearing revealing area landlords were never allowed an opportunity to present their thoughts in the process to come up with a ordinance. Most thought it would hamper their ability to help those needing housing with added costs that would be passed on to future tenants who

often struggle with paying rent already. “I am able to help people that need a house to live in,” rental property owner Faye Edmondson said. “Please don’t penalize us as the landlords. If someone has hardships, I will try to work with them as long as they are honest with me.” “It will just be another burden on landlords,” rental property owner Annette Lynch said. “We already have to do so much.” Landlords also said the inspection process would keep them from closing deals due to the added scheduling issues for the inspections.

The Alexander City Police Department is investigating a Thursday night robbery. Deputy chief James Easterwood said the robbery took place about 11 p.m. as Dominos was closing. “A male came in the side door wearing a mask while holding a gun,” Easterwood said. “He pointed the gun at workers there. He was able to get money from the register and then fled on foot.” Easterwood said no one was injured in the incident and investigators are seeking the public’s help in the case. If anyone has information that may help police in the robbery, they are asked to call investigators at 256397-1023.

Two Polaris RZR ATVs collided early Saturday morning leaving Ryan Scott Mask of Alexander City dead and three others injured. A call was placed to emergency dispatchers about 12:20 a.m. Saturday morning following a collision of the side-by-sides on Walker Ferry Road near Elkahatchee Road. The Alexander City Police Department and the Alexander City Fire Department were dispatched to the scene. “We responded to a call and rendered aid,” Alexander City Police deputy chief James Easterwood said. “We helped transport the injured and handed the scene over to state troopers.” Alabama Law Enforcement Agency State Trooper Cpl. Jess Thornton issued a release on the accident, giving some insight to the events of early Saturday morning. “Ryan Scott Mask, 26, was killed when the Polaris RZR ATV he was operating collided with another Polaris RZR ATV,” Thornton said in the release. “Mask, who was not using a helmet or restraint system, was pronounced dead a short time later at Russell Medical. A passenger with Mask was injured and transported to a local hospital. The driver of the other Polaris and a passenger were also injured and transported from the scene.” Other details of the accident are not available as Alabama State Troopers continue to investigate.

Much-needed update Fire department getting new breathing apparatus By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

THE PROFESSIONALS”

DEAR ABBY: My husband has less and less interest in me. It started with the last presidential election. Since then, I have cut way back on politics because he doesn’t want to hear any of it. Being an activist on several fronts, including politics and other areas, this is a big, emotional part of who I am. I get so upset by his silences that I stop talking to him completely. I’m spent from feeling so lonely, so unworthy of love, helpless, hopeless and powerless. I can’t take this much longer. He says he wants to be with me, and he has just started private therapy. I, too, am in therapy. I was ready to draw up divorce papers when I suddenly changed my mind. I told him I’d wait a year for him to have his therapy, and then we’d review everything we had learned and proceed from there. Have I made a mistake? Right now, I can’t stand to be around him. He can be the world’s greatest giver, but

DEAR ABBY Advice

other times he’s a selfish, insensitive, arrogant knowit-all. I don’t know if I’m still in love with him. Does this proposed one-year respite have any chance of working? -- SAD WIFE IN BUFFALO DEAR WIFE: Yes, it does. It appears that in the midst of your pain and turmoil you experienced a brief moment of clarity. Your decision to give your husband -- and yourself -- a year of therapy and then revisit the issue of divorce was both wise and brilliant. You married each other for a reason; now give yourselves a chance to remember what it was. DEAR ABBY: New neighbors moved in a few doors down from us. A few weeks later, they hosted an open

house and invited about 15 families from the homes closest to theirs. They served food and graciously gave everyone a tour of the home, which had been completely renovated. My husband and I arrived about the same time as another neighbor, and the three of us visited with our hostess. As she rolled out the red carpet, the other neighbor proceeded to talk about the history of the home -- who had lived there and what the house had been like when she visited there as a friend of the previous owners. She then announced that the man who owned the home years ago had committed suicide -- in the home. The hostess maintained a gracious stance, but my husband and I were horrified. Should the neighbor be told that her comment was inappropriate? -HORRIFIED IN THE EAST DEAR HORRIFIED: Because the comment may have cast a pall over the housewarming, it was inappropriate. However, it may

not have come as a complete surprise to the new owners. In the state where I reside, real estate agents are required by law to disclose that there had been a death in the house (suicide, murder), which might affect the value of the property. If you feel the need to say something to the neighbor who made that tasteless comment, by all means do so. TO MY JEWISH READERS: Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, begins at sundown. During this 24-hour period, observant Jewish people fast, engage in reflection and prayer, and formally repent for any sin that might have been committed during the previous Hebrew year. To all of you -- may your fast be an easy, but meaningful, one. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Chairwoman Denise Bates said in an email. “We are very excited to welcome Col. North to Alexander City and the Lake Martin region.” After graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, North served in the United States Marines for 22 years, receiving the Silver Star, the Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts during his service career. North was also a key player in the Reagan administration, serving on the National Security Council and working as the government’s counter-terrorism coordinator from 1983 to 1986. North was involved in the rescue of more than 800 medical students from Grenada during the 1983 invasion, the capture of the terrorists who hijacked the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro and the planning of attacks on terrorist bases in Libya. More recently, North has written 13 books, all of which have been on the New York Times bestseller list. He hosted the Fox News Channel’s “War Stories with Oliver North” from 2001 to 2016, founded the Freedom Alliance, an organization that provides college scholarships to the children of American military personnel killed in the line of duty and is the current president of the National Rifle Association.

Top left: The new masks will include a feature that will allow better communication through the mask to the radios. Top right: In addition to vibrating when air pressure in the bottle gets low, the new mask even gives heads up display letting the firefighter now about pressure in the bottle. Above left: The old packs require the bottle to be connected via a nut adapter which at times made for a long gap in air as the bottles were changed. Above right: Pictured are the old air pack on the left, and the new on the right. The old equipment is 14 years old.

Fire said. “Electronics are required like the passive device. It’s the alarm that sounds when a fireman is standing still. Heads up display that shows how much air pressure you have. The straps are also falling apart.” Brewer handles a lot of the maintenance on the current breathing apparatus but he can only do so much. “We probably spend about $3,500 to $4,000 on repairs and that is if I can’t fix it,” Brewer said. “They have taught me how to work on them.” The new ones come with a lot better warranty. “The new ones have a 10-year warranty which is great,” Brewer said. “The old ones had a two-year (warranty).” Another advantage of the new breathing apparatus system is how quickly air can be resupplied. “The old ones are slow to change out the bottles,” fire chief Reese McAlister

continued from page 1

said. “You just pull two rings and it pops out.” The old system has a nickname but also represents the challenge for firefighters changing air bottles. “When I went through fire school, they called it the toxic bottle change,” McAlister said. “You change it without taking your mask off. You have to hold your breath.” How long a firefighter had to hold their breath depended on how fast someone could unscrew the coupling device, replace the bottle and connect the new bottle. Another feature Brewer is pleased to see on the new devices is something similar to the buddy system in SCUBA. It maybe the most important feature on the new apparatus. “If I run out of air, I can hook mine into yours and get out,” Brewer said. “Right now, we don’t have that capability. It is a huge safety feature. It is a

great thing to have.” The city will still have to ante up a 5-percent match of $13,600 but it gets added to the grant allowing them to spend $285,600. Brewer said volunteer departments in Kellyton and Ourtown/Willow Point received similar grants. The grant is through a program started after 9/11 when the Department of Homeland Security realized firefighters were operating with old equipment and often times could not communicate with others. Congressman Mike Rogers serves on the Committee on Homeland Security in Congress. “Tallapoosa County’s first responders are our first line of defense,” Rogers said in a statement. “I congratulate the men and women of the Alexander City Fire Department for receiving this grant and hope it will ultimately help increase the safety for all local citizens.”

hat was Hurricane Florence has moved into the northeastern and New England states, having lost its intensity and much of its structure as it moves over land. While the storm may not be what it once was, Florence’s impact is not yet over. People throughout the Carolinas are still hurting as they pick up the pieces and begin to rebuild their lives, trying to return to some semblance of normalcy. That is where we here in Alexander City come in. The Alexander City Area Ministerial Association is gathering supplies to be transported to the areas hardest hit by the hurricane, while the Lake Martin Area United Way is accepting monetary donations for relief efforts. Currently, the ministerial association is accepting donations of non-perishable food items, pallets of bottled water, baby formula, diapers, bars of soap and other critical items. Pastor Rick Levell at Marshall Street Church of God said the current plan is to gather items until Friday, at which time the association will be renting a truck and transporting everything gathered to locations needing the supplies. Donations can be dropped off at the church, though donors are asked to call the church at 256-234-3180 to make sure someone is at the church to accept donations. Those wanting to give to the United Way efforts can give online at UnitedWay.org/Florence, or money can be dropped off at the local United Way office in Alexander City, according to Lake Martin Area United Way Director Sharon Fuller. When the tornado outbreak of April 2011 ravaged Alabama, people from around the country sent supplies to help us get back on our feet. Alabama Power employees were working alongside power companies from neighboring states and those farther away to restore electricity to those in need. Why should we not do the same for our neighbors in need? We should do it for more reasons than just repaying the favor for those who helped us in 2011, however. We should want to do it because there are people who need a hand, and we can be there to help provide that hand.

o you know where the director of student engagement is?” the man dressed as a hospital worker asked me on our campus. “We’d like to do a blood drive later this month.” As I walked him over to the office, I remarked, “We must be your smallest blood drive of the southeast.” He shook his head. “Actually, LaGrange College is one of our best places to have blood drives. You have three times as many blood donors as bigger universities.” “Per capita?” I inquired. He replied, “No, that’s in overall numbers.” After 9/11, our nation’s blood banks were overwhelmed by blood donors, each hoping to help our nation recover in some small way. Donations poured in. But was that a different time? Do we still see ourselves as linked by a common fate? Matt Baretto, Lorrie FrasureYokely, Edward Vargas and Janelle Wong wondered the same thing. Right after the 2016 election, they surveyed what percentage of Americans see themselves as having a “linked fate” that “affects us all.” Whatever post-9/11 spirit we had then may not be as strong as it once was. It was reassuring to see a little more than 60 percent agreed we do have a common

JOHN TURES Columnist

fate, with African-Americans most likely to agree with the statement, followed by whites, Asian-Americans and Hispanics. But that’s still almost 40 percent who disagree, who see it as everyone for him or herself. Among those who agree with the statement “a lot,” again AfricanAmericans led, followed by Hispanics, whites and AsianAmericans. Only about 30 percent of Americans see such unity as a big priority. At our church, our pastor and youth ministers organized a “Blessings in a Bookbag” where our church kids would pack meals for needy students to have a meal or two over the weekend. Turnout wasn’t too bad on a late Sunday afternoon, where kids gave up watching the NFL or playing video games to help students they’ll probably never meet. Do the kids “get it” in a way some adults might have forgotten? It was encouraging to attend the Auburn University football game last Saturday. The students and fans generally treated the visiting Alabama

State University fans pretty well, even cheering the ASU band with the same intensity as a “War Eagle” battle cry after each Auburn Tiger touchdown (that band was really that good!). But students told me a fraternity mocked ASU’s graduation rate in a classless pregame display. Moreover, as we debate the response to Hurricane Maria, I heard at a different school, some kids were claiming we shouldn’t help Puerto Rico because “they aren’t really Americans.” Not only is the statement false, but shouldn’t we be our brother’s keeper even if they weren’t Americans? Nearly 150 students packed into our presentation, discussion and prayers on 9/11 this year, in a room with seating for only 75. One student who spoke was moved to tears, saying how happy her dad in the armed forces would be if he could see the turnout and hear the students speak. I pray we don’t need another 9/11 tragedy to regain that spirit of unity, and to understand we share that common fate, no matter our race or ethnicity. John A.

Trump is right to protect Americans from ICC

S

hould an unaccountable United Nations court, created by a treaty to which the United States is not a signatory, and the Senate has not ratified, be allowed to investigate, try and imprison American citizens? Unfortunately, this is no longer a theoretical question. In November, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague, Fatou Bensouda, announced she was seeking a formal investigation into alleged war crimes committed by U.S. military forces and CIA officers in Afghanistan. Bensouda — a Gambian lawyer who is answerable to no government or institution — claims unbridled power to investigate, charge and prosecute American citizens, no matter what the U.S. government says. A pretrial chamber of the court, made up of judges from Hungary, France and Benin, reportedly will approve her request in the coming days. Who gave these foreign magistrates the right to try U.S. citizens, whose government never assented to the court’s jurisdiction through our own democratic institutions? No one. And, yet, they are preparing to exercise this supranational power for the first time. That will not happen if the Trump administration has anything to say about it. In a speech this week to the Federalist Society, national security adviser John Bolton delivered a stark warning to the ICC: “If the court comes after us ... this administration will fight back to protect American constitutionalism, our sovereignty, and our citizens. No committee of foreign nations will tell us how to govern ourselves and defend our freedom.” Should the court act against U.S. citizens, Bolton said, the United States will bar ICC judges and prosecutors from entering the country,

MARC THIESSEN Columnist sanction their funds in the U.S. financial system and prosecute them in the American criminaljustice system. I know something about the ICC, because I was present at its creation. In 1998, as a staff member for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, I attended the Rome conference where the treaty was negotiated. The committee’s chairman, Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) warned, unless checks were placed on the ICC prosecutor’s unfettered discretion to prosecute U.S. citizens — including a U.N. Security Council “screen” that would permit the United States to veto cases going forward — the Rome treaty would be “dead on arrival” in the Senate. When those protections were rejected, Helms introduced the “American Servicemembers’ Protection Act” to bar U.S. cooperation with the ICC and to punish the court for any efforts to prosecute Americans. The measure was approved in 2002 by a bipartisan 75-to19 vote. So not only has the Senate not ratified the ICC treaty, it has explicitly authorized the president to use “all means necessary” -- including military force -- to shield American citizens from ICC prosecution. We were told back then all of this was unnecessary, and the idea a rogue ICC prosecutor would ever go after Americans was ridiculous. The court would focus on grievous human-rights abuses by the world’s tyrants, not on democracies with robust and transparent legal systems capable of policing their own citizens. That was a lie. Not only is the ICC threatening Americans, it has our

democratic ally, Israel, in its crosshairs. In 2015, Bensouda opened a preliminary investigation of Israel for actions defending itself against Palestinian terrorist attacks in the West Bank and Gaza — despite the fact the court has no jurisdiction because Israel is not a party to the treaty, and because Palestinian territories cannot be a “state party” to the treaty considering they are not a “state.” In May, the Palestinian Authority’s foreign minister, Riyad al-Maliki, traveled to The Hague to hand over a criminal referral against Israel and to urge the court to indict and prosecute Israeli officials. The ICC is not just a threat to U.S. citizens and our democratic allies — it is a hindrance to democratic change. Since the end of the Cold War, almost every peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy has involved some form of amnesty. The existence of the ICC makes it more difficult to convince dictators to step down, because the option of safety in exile has effectively been eliminated. Without a credible guarantee they will remain unmolested abroad, dictators may well decide they are better off holed up in their palaces. The lesson to tyrants such as Venezuela’s Nicols Maduro, Nicaragua’s Daniel Ortega, or Iran’s ayatollahs is clear: If the people rise up, it is safer to fire on the crowds than to flee. By taking on the ICC, the Trump administration is not just protecting U.S. citizens and American sovereignty — it is striking a blow for democracy across the world.

Council

continued from page 1

“Time is of the essence,� Lynch said. “We cannot wait a day or two or more for inspections.� Edmondson said both she and the city will lose money by adding the inspection process “I need to make that deal,� Edmondson said of signing a lease and moving in a tenant. “The city makes money when I pay taxes on that rent,� she said. “The city makes money through the tenant with power, water.� Mayor Jim Nabors formed a committee to look at the issue earlier in the year and appointed Dr. Eric Tyler to chair it. Nabors had informed the committee HUD had Alexander City with more than 3,000 rental properties in the city limits, 44 percent of the housing and most of it was more than 20 years old. The idea was to come up with something to make sure tenants were a provided a safe, sanitary and secure place to live. Landlords argued the process to remove tenants due to nonpayment of rent and other issues often leads to burdens on them to correct issues caused by the tenants they are trying to remove. Some mentioned cat liter being put in sink drains while others mentioned holes put in walls and trash left behind. These are things they try to deal with quickly while obtaining another tenant “Our side has not been considered,� Lynch said. “You unlock the door. You carry in a shovel wearing a face mask and shed tears.� Landlords said it was not uncommon for tenants to leave behind trash, destroyed furniture and food. Tony Goss said many of the issues the

city has with rental properties could be solved by enforcing three ordinances on the books – property maintenance code, weed abatement and non-usable vehicle. “If the city enforced those, most of the rental issues would be taken care of,� Goss said. Lynch suggested using state code to file a complaint against those landlords not following the law. Council member Eric Brown thinks there is a “middle ground� to be found to look out for the tenants and be fair to the landlords. “It is tough to find middle ground,� Brown said. “I went with guys from church to help clean up a place. We went in and it smelled. Someone started to smoke. It was the best cigarette I ever smelled.� Brown said as a business person he understood the cost of doing business and how it can add up but could also see not dealing with issue putting a liability on the city. At the same time, property rentals do not interest him from a business standpoint. “I wouldn’t touch rental properties ever,� Brown said. “I don’t care if I could make a $1,000,000.� It is not the first time the idea to inspect rental units has come up. “This same issue came up in 2015,� city attorney Larkin Radney said. “The then mayor did not appoint a committee. There was a room full of people then too. The landlord association said they would bring something forward and I don’t think they ever did.� The council appointed three new members to the committee to see if “a middle ground� could be found on

Karen Marable speaks in favor of the rental ordinance Monday night. The council tabled discussion and a decision on the ordinance to allow landlords a chance to be involved in the committee.

BREEZING ON BY

M

iscellaneous thoughts from around the college football universe… 1. The University of Mississippi’s campus isn’t the nicest… Or largest… Or most crowded. However, it may be the most fun. In fact, because it isn’t the nicest, largest or most crowded, those missing ingredients may help it be the most fun. The Grove is as-advertised and it is littered with so many good-looking people it looks like a J. Crew Catalog exploded. And friendly? You bet! (Wait… We still can’t bet in Alabama can we?). Anyhoo, the whole environment also lacked the nervous anticipation which is so palpable in some of the more successful SEC venues. 2. It’s a good thing Ole Miss fans weren’t really worked up about whether the team would win because after their initial 11 second first-pass-of-the-game touchdown, the Tide inflicted 59 minutes and 49 seconds of pain on the Rebels. 3. So, my preseason College Football Final Four consisted of Washington, Wisconsin, ’Bama and Clemson. Washington looked pedestrian against Auburn, and Wisconsin lost at home to BYU Saturday. I think it’s fair to say neither of those teams is getting in. 4. Taking my first mulligan, I am rearranging my CFP teams to be: Alabama, Clemson, Penn State and West Virginia. Oklahoma is a popular pick but it has lost a key component in its arsenal to injury, and I simply refuse to put Ohio State in a projection because I think karma gets Urban Meyer down the road. 5. I knew Arkansas was in for a rough year, but I did not dream the Hawgs would be battling Rutgers for the (un)coveted title of “Worst Power Five Team.” Even with Auburn’s issues, the Tigers are still a 28-point favorite against Arky this weekend … And I think that number is really low. 6. People can say Auburn lost to LSU because of Gus Malzahn’s mistakes (that may be fair) or complain the refs cost AU the game (that is definitely unfair), but maybe we all underestimated Ed Orgeron’s coaching prowess. For the second straight year, Auburn had a two-score lead on LSU and for the second straight year LSU overcame that deficit despite its not having an allworld quarterback. That speaks to Coach O’s ability to keep his team mentally focused. We all take our shots at the man, but the league is more SEC-ish with Ed Orgeron in it so perhaps its best he sticks around awhile. If he keeps winning big games, he will be around a lot longer than any of us thought. 7. Who would have thought Kentucky’s upcoming three game stretch of Kentucky, Florida and Auburn would be so emotionally charged? Sure, the Auburn game is always big and the UF contest brings Dan Mullen back to Starkville, but that Kentucky game in the Bluegrass is sneaky-good football this Saturday. 8. Another game to watch this weekend: Georgia at Missouri. I don’t think Mizzou can win, but if UGA can stymie that passing game, you will know it can still play championship defense.

Horseshoe Bend scoots past Dadeville in straight sets By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Horseshoe Bend’s volleyball team made easy work of Dadeville to kick off a tri-meet with Handley on Monday afternoon. The Generals picked up a victory in straight sets, winning 25-12 and 25-10. “We’ve definitely improved since the last time we played them,” Horseshoe Bend coach Julie Turner said. “Our serving, of course, is our stronger point, which was evident in the way we served tonight.” The Generals looked truly unstoppable in the opening points of the second set. Ashley Clanton started her team off with 10 straight service points, including five aces. After Dadeville’s Sidaesha Heard knocked down a kill to give the Tigers their first point of the night, the streak didn’t last long. HBS’ Maggie Wood responded with a kill of her own to put the serve back in her team’s hand. Chloe Prickett then reeled off eight straight points to put the Generals ahead 18-1. Dadeville had quite a few unforced errors and had a difficult time on serve receive

as well. An injury to Deshiah Russell early in the first set made the Tigers move some people around again. “We’ve had some transitions lately and had an injury at the beginning of the game, so we’re just trying to keep our heads in the game,” said Jenni Roy, who is transitioning into the role of head coach for Dadeville. “Communication is a big one. We’re just trying to keep our heads up and our attitude straight; that’s what we’re

continuing to focus on. Our mantra is humble over hype, and that’s what we try to keep first. Our attitude and our integrity is most important.” Getting such a big lead allowed Horseshoe Bend to try out some new things. After the season-ending injury to setter Karsen Kinman, Kate Lewis has taken over the top job but the Generals are also trying to get Kennedy Singleton involved. “We got to bring Kennedy in for a little while and got her

some good reps, which is what she really needs,” Turner said. “We still gotta work with Kate some. She’s comfortable with Caly (Carlisle), and she sets Caly a lot. We’ve gotta learn how to distribute around and that’ll come with time. “(Monday night) I wanted to stop setting outside and start going middle sometimes, and it’s just a different motion for her. She feels comfortable pushing it out instead of up, so that’s what we’ve gotta work on.” Although Horseshoe Bend’s offensive juggernauts of Carlisle and Wood dominated, Dadeville provided some challenges by showing off its quickness and scrappiness. There were multiple long volleys. “They have some very good hitters, and it’s good to get exposed to that and have that practice,” Roy said. “I thought our girls responded pretty well, though. We kept it going and we rallied a lot. We didn’t just let it go, so I was really proud of that. Coming into it, we knew they were going to be hitting so I thought we did a good job of that. We’ve just gotta get our spikes and our hits in as well.”

Lyman Ward racks up school record for points in win STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

Lyman Ward Military Academy had one of its best showings in school history on the football field Friday night. The Fighting Rangers racked up 64 points, setting a school record for points in a game, en route to a 64-16 victory over Lighthouse. “Well, in the past for the most part, wins have come by the skin of their teeth, so they’ve never had a chance to get some confidence,” Lyman Ward coach Roland Bell said. “Now they’re looking up and saying, ‘We finished the second half of that other game like you said we should, and we got this one. We’re actually a pretty good

team, aren’t we, Coach?’ And we are. Now we just need to keep working and getting better every day.” Joseph Reese was the star of the show for the Rangers. He finished with five rushing touchdowns to go along with two passing. He amassed 236 yards on just 13 carries, and at quarterback, Reese was 3-for-6 for 78 yards and two scores. “Obviously he is, for the most part, the offense right now,” Bell said. “But we’re trying to work with him to help build the other guys because none of them, except for one, has played ball before. We’re trying to get Joseph to work with them and get them more confidence, showing them how to take handoffs and where to run, so we don’t have

to run him all the time so teams can’t focus only on him.” Preston Linkenauger also got in on the action at QB. He was a perfect 2-for-2 and both of his completions were touchdowns. Michael Rogers, Stone Crowson and Bogdan Maples all had at least one scoring reception. Crowson also led the defense with eight tackles. Saywer Ray had five tackles, and Linkenauger and Sekou Diallo each had four. “Cody Stone did well too,” Bell said. “It was his first game. He started late so I didn’t let him dress the first week, and he only played half of this game. But we had him playing at corner mostly, but he was a headhunter out there.”
