months. Cheldon Blake Deason, 37, of Dadeville was arrested for theft Monday. Police say he is responsible for taking at least 5 iPads and a laptop from the facilities where he worked.

“After investigations by detectives, he was arrested,” deputy chief James Easterwood said. “He was identified as the thief.” Deason was charged with theft third degree which carries a punishment of up to one year in jail

WHAT A DOPE

Cops arrest man as he returns to store to pick up marijuana

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

During Monday night’s meeting of the New Site Town Council, the council heard from one of the engineers involved in the water upgrade and improvement project and took a first look at the proposed budget for fiscal year 2019. Jeff Harrison with CDG Engineers & Associates went before the council to explain what happened at the project bid opening earlier in the day and the financial impact it would have on the town. The project was broken down into two parts, with one handling installation of generators, upgrading the booster stations at Hillabee Creek and on Highway 49 and other similar issues, while the second revolved around installing new water meters that can be read remotely. “The good news is part two (the water meters) came in under what was initially budgeted for, but the bad news is, part one went over what was budgeted for,” Harrison said. “Putting both parts together, the project will run $588,637.” However, Harrison said, despite the project being more costly than what was initially estimated, the fact $285,000 of the project cost will be forgiven, leaving the town with just over $300,000 in debt services is not the worst place to be in.

fficers with the Alexander City Police Department got a little help from the defendant Tuesday after he left his marijuana behind at an Alexander City store. “It appears he called the store to see if they had marijuana he dropped while shopping earlier in the day,” deputy chief James Easterwood said. “We found out about it and were there waiting on him. After he acquired his bag, we arrested him.” Officers arrested 61-year-old Phillip Pierce for possession of marijuana second degree. Pierce was transported to the Tallapoosa County Jail and was released on a $500 bond. His Honda Accord was also towed from the store. Possession of marijuana is a Class A misdemeanor and is punishable by up to a year in the county jail and up to a $15,000 fine. Returning to pick up the marijuana could prove to be a costly mistake.

The Outlook

A close relative has started working in the adult industry. She now dresses provocatively, showing lots of skin. She has also covered much of her body with tattoos and adopted the lifestyle of someone in that field. Our family assumes she’s “going through a phase” and has no idea what she’s really up to. I have two small children I don’t really want around her, but I’m not sure how to handle the situation. I don’t want to tell her mom what she’s really doing, but at the same time, I don’t want my kids thinking that’s how people in society are. Please help. -- NERVOUS IN NEW YORK DEAR NERVOUS: If you no longer want to be around this person, no law says you have to be. If your relatives ask you about your absence, tell them the reason. If they don’t, don’t tattle. This isn’t an emergency; rest assured her parents will find out eventually. As to her being a bad influence on your children, take

DEAR ABBY Advice

this as an opportunity for a teachable moment about people coming in “different packaging” and not judging a book by its cover. DEAR ABBY: I’m confused and not sure what to do. I’m a 32-year-old single mom who is a hopeless romantic. I’ve been seeing someone for six months. He is already talking about marriage and a happily ever after, which I am ready for. The downside is, not long after we started dating, I met someone who makes me question everything. He’s someone I can’t actually be with because -- yes, he’s married. I’m disgusted with myself for allowing this to happen, but the minute our eyes met, my heart skipped a beat.

What I’m asking is, do I settle for the guy I’ve been dating because that’s what I’m ready for? He’s a great guy who cares a lot about my daughter and me. I can be a faithful and loving wife, which he wants. Or should I let him go because my heart truly isn’t there? Please help me, even though I don’t deserve it. -- SETTLING DOUBTS DEAR SETTLING: Warning: Heartbreak ahead. Although you say you are ready for marriage and happily ever after, I don’t think it’s true. I can’t warn you strongly enough not to marry one man while in your heart you yearn for someone else. It’s a recipe for disaster, and the collateral damage will be not only Mr. Six Months but also your child. DEAR ABBY: I received a drunken text from my son’s friend telling me my son is gay. It rambled on about their relationship. I decided not to question my son about it because, if it is true, it won’t

change our relationship. It really doesn’t matter to me. They live in another state. This is a dilemma because I worry about this “friend” not being trustworthy. Is this my business? Should I tell my son? What if he gets upset? -- TAKEN ABACK DEAR TAKEN: You should absolutely have a talk with your son about the text you received. Ask him if what the friend said is true, and if it is, why you didn’t hear it from him. Don’t be angry or accusatory. Just be sure to assure him how much you love him and that your feelings for him have not changed. He may need to hear you verbalize it.

The Alexander City Kiwanis Club held a social at The Coffee Corner Tuesday evening inviting those interested in the club to visit with members and learn more about what the civic club does.

Budget

continued from page 1

Using a similar approach, the proposed water budget estimates $409,000 in revenue and $394,000 in expenses. It was explained everything was built in already and that the water budget was very straightforward. The New Site Town Council also handled the following items: • Minutes from the Sept. 4 meeting were approved. • The council opened seven sealed bids on a recently made surplus 1998 Chevrolet truck. The council approved a motion to accept the high bid from Mavis Freeman of $2,600. • Horseshoe Bend basketball coaches Erica Meigs and Chad Kison went before the council to request funding for projects at the school gym, including getting a new scoring table and folding chairs, painting the hallways between the gym floor and the locker rooms and putting screens on the side of the bleachers to keep people from getting underneath them. Blasingame said the town will be donating its regular $5,000 to the school in the upcoming budget, but would like to see a detailed spreadsheet from the coaches regarding all the items they mentioned. “I would like to commend whoever did the recent work on the gym,” Blasingame added. • The council agreed to have a work session Monday, Sept. 24 to go over the water upgrade issue as well as the matter of the old New

current model, the town’s debt service payment will only be around $24,000 per year, less than an estimated $38,000 per year had the town been required to pay the full amount back. After hearing Harrison’s presentation, New Site Mayor Phil Blasingame said he and the council would like to see a more detailed breakdown of the project. “Put it all in a spreadsheet and help walk us through it,” Blasingame said. “This gives us the chance to take our time and look at it.” During the budget discussion, Blasingame reviewed the total revenue so far for the town, and despite unexpected revenue in the form of commissioner John McKelvey donating funds to the New Site Senior Activity Center among other things, New Site was in good financial shape. Cutting out these items, the town has collected $366,000 in revenue, and using the average of the last 11 months as a guide, revenue is expected to be right around $400,000. Trying to be conservative and not get extravagant, the proposed budget as it is currently written estimates a revenue total of $359,000, while projected expenses amount to $358,000. These totals were made with a lower sales tax in mind and did not account for the potential revenue from any new businesses coming to town. “Everything looks good,” councilman Mickey Carter said.

Site gymnasium. “We want to try to find a way to get that gym open so Horseshoe Bend has another place to practice in,” Blasingame said after the meeting. • Town clerk Shelia Fuller said the meeting with Walnut Hill Water Authority representatives to discuss an online bill paying system had gone well. While Walnut Hill has only recently gone over to such a system and was not able to fully assess the impact having such a system in place has had yet, Fuller said installing an auto-draft option to being would be a step towards online bill paying. The council approved purchasing a new computer to handle the payments, as well as upgrading some of the town’s computer software to receive such payments. • It was reported approximately 40 local seniors were currently enjoying themselves on an overnight trip to the Ark Encounter museum in Kentucky. • Blasingame said he and others will be in Montgomery Thursday to meet with representatives from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs regarding the topic of bringing a health clinic to town. • The council approved moving two certificates of deposit to Valley National Bank for a period of 13 months. The next meeting of the New Site Town Council will be at 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 24 in the meeting room of the New Site Town Hall.

Mario Powell, who has been involved with setting the event up. “There are other schools in the surrounding counties who have done things like this, and we thought it would be a good idea.” The fun begins Friday evening, as participants will be attending the homecoming game when Benjamin Russell takes on Chilton County. Saturday, Powell said the event continues with a tailgate-style celebration at the Sportplex on the same side as the softball fields. Beginning at 1 p.m. and going until 7:30 p.m., Saturday’s event will have a little something for everyone. “We will have live music throughout the day,” Powell said. “We’ll also be having several field day events like dodgeball and kickball, and we also plan on having inflatables for the kids. We want this to be a family-oriented event.” Along with this, Powell added the event organizers have been working on information to put together a float for the high school homecoming parade. So far, Powell said the event has gotten a lot of positive responses, with more than 3,000 people responding on a private Facebook page for Benjamin Russell alumni and many having pre-registered for the event. Even though any graduate of Benjamin Russell is welcome to attend, Powell recommended attendees get with their graduating class to coordinate what each group of alumni will be bringing to the event. While the event is designed to bring graduates from throughout Benjamin Russell’s history together in one spot, there is also a generously giving side to the reunion. The money collected from preregistration and admission at the gate will help fund a scholarship to be given to a graduate of the Class of 2019. For those who have not already registered, Powell said admission is $15 in advance and $20 at the gate Saturday. “We want to give back to the community,” Powell said. Powell wanted to recognize those who have been key in helping put the reunion together, including Patrick Judkins, Demetrius Fleetion (Mr. Fuji), Buffy Colvin, Shanta Young and LaToria Stowes. Powell also said Tallapoosa County Commissioner Steve Robinson has been helpful in providing the group with valuable information. “We’re really excited to be having this,” Powell said. “We want this to become an annual thing.”

Libraries are a valuable tool

Today’s

Scripture

S

eptember is Library Card Sign-Up Month as libraries across the country hold special events to encourage the public to sign up for library cards of their own. Here in Alexander City, we are lucky to have facilities like the Adelia M. Russell Library and Mamie’s Place Children’s Library available to us. It is true library cards allow patrons to check out books, but there is so much more the library, and ownership of a card, can provide. With a library card, patrons can use library computers to access the internet and all of the information found there. Mamie’s Place has a bookcase full of DVDs parents and children can check out and enjoy. Russell Library has a digital magazine collection, where patrons can “check out” some of the most popular magazines on a variety of subjects. Patrons can download them to a computer or mobile device and hold onto the magazine for as long as they want. Signing up for a library card is not difficult. All it requires is documentation proving you live in Alexander City. It can be a utility bill or a driver’s license. So long as it has a valid Alexander City address on it, you are good to go. A phone number and email address are also valuable when registering, as the library can send you text reminders for when items are due back and email you a monthly newsletter, giving you information about events taking place at the library and new books available for checkout. As George R.R. Martin wrote in the book “A Dance With Dragons,” “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies…. The man who never reads lives only one.” Having a library card makes it that much easier to access the multitude of volumes contained within the walls of the Russell Library and Mamie’s Place. If you do not currently have a library card, take the time to register for one. Your passport to adventure on a million different worlds awaits.

Reflecting on the 1986 governor’s race

S

ince this is a gubernatorial election year, allow me to share an epic governor’s race with you. The 1986 governor’s race will be remembered as one of Alabama’s most amazing political stories. In 1978, Fob James sent the Three B’s, Brewer, Beasley and Baxley packing. Brewer and Beasley had been permanently exiled to Buck’s Pocket, the mythical destination for defeated Alabama gubernatorial candidates. However, Bill Baxley resurrected his political career by bouncing back to be elected lieutenant governor in 1982, while George Wallace was winning his fifth and final term as governor. Another player arrived on the state political scene. Charlie Graddick was elected as a fiery tough lock’em up and throw away the key attorney general. Graddick had previously been a tough prosecuting district attorney in Mobile. When Wallace bowed out from seeking reelection in 1986, it appeared the race was between Bill Baxley, the lieutenant governor, and Charlie Graddick, the attorney general. It also appeared there was a clear ideological divide. The moderates and liberals in Alabama were for Baxley and the archconservatives were for Graddick. Baxley had the solid support of black voters, labor and progressives. Graddick had the hard-core conservatives, including most of the Republican voters in Alabama. The Republicans had gone to a primary by 1986 but very few Alabamians, even Republicans, participated. It was still assumed that the Democratic primary was tantamount to election. The Democratic primary would draw 800,000 Alabama voters while the GOP primary might draw 40,000, so most

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist Republican leaning voters felt that in order for their vote to count they had to vote in the Democratic primary. Baxley and Graddick went after each other with a vengeance in the primary. The race was close. Graddick came out on top by an eyelash. He encouraged Republicans to come vote for him in the Democratic primary. They did and that is why he won. This was not something that had not been happening for decades. Brewer would have never led Wallace in 1970 without Republicans. Fob would have never won the Democratic primary and thus become governor in 1978 without Republican voters. Basically, Alabama had been a no party state. We still have no party registration law. So how do you police people weaving in and out of primaries without a mechanism in place for saying you are a Democrat, Republican or Independent? After Graddick defeated Baxley by less than 25,000 votes in the runoff primary, the Democratic Party did the unthinkable. They convened the hierarchy of the party, who clearly favored Baxley, and declared Baxley the Democratic nominee because they guessed Graddick had won the primary with Republican crossover voters. They paraded experts in front of their committee to testify that Baxley should have won if just Democrats had voted. They boldly and brazenly chose Baxley as the nominee in spite of the fact that Graddick had clearly gotten the most votes. This move went against the grain of the vast majority of Alabama voters. They felt

that Graddick, even if they had not voted for him, got the most votes and should be the nominee. The Democratic party leadership sloughed it off. They assumed that the Democratic nominee would win regardless. After all, there had not been a Republican governor of Alabama in 100 years. In addition, the Republicans had chosen an unknown former Cullman County Probate Judge named Guy Hunt. Hunt had no money and no name identification. The Democratic leaders guessed wrong. The backlash was enormous. The bold handpicking of a nominee who had not received the most votes was a wrong that needed to be righted. Baxley did not help his case any by ignoring Hunt and dismissing him as a simpleton. He mocked Hunt saying he was unqualified because he only had a high school education. Baxley, as politically astute as he was, should have realized that he was insulting the majority of Alabama voters who themselves only possessed high school educations. This created a backlash of its own. When the votes were counted in the November general election, Hunt was elected governor of Alabama. This 1986 result gave new meaning and proof to the old George Wallace theory that more Alabama voters vote against someone than for someone. Alabama had its first Republican governor in 100 years. The 1986 governor’s race will go down in history as a red-letter year in governor’s races. It was truly historic and memorable. See you next week.

Mamaw got bit by what?

M

awmaw Jennings was bitten by a timber rattler a couple of weeks ago. At her age, one would think she’d be wise enough to stay clear of those rattling rascals. Until this year, I’d only seen one rattlesnake in the wild, alive or dead, in my lifetime. Really. And, I’ve spent a lot of time out in the woods and on the road. While out on our drives with the baby, we have seen quite a few, alive and dead. They are some big ole fat jokers. I think the influx of bad snakes is due to all the senseless killings of good snakes. And, yes, there are good snakes. In fact, most snakes are good. There are few words that rattle my nerves more than “the only good snake is a dead snake.” The two words “Roll and Tide” come to mind too, but the list is short. Venomous snakes look like pure evil. Good snakes have round eyes and look genuinely happy. Really. Use Google. It’s powerful.

JODY FULLER Columnist My cousin thinks Mawmaw was bitten early in the day, but they didn’t find out until around seven o’clock that evening. My cousin Jeb located the culprit out in the yard. It was actually not one but two timber rattlers. One of them was 4 and half feet long. Mawmaw usually likes to stay out of the heat, so I’m not sure what she was doing out there that time of day. Piddling, perhaps. They gave her Benadryl and she toughed it out. Mawmaws are tough like that. Some people think a snakebite is automatic death, however, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 7,000 and 8,000 people are bitten by venomous snakes in the U.S.

every year. Of those, only about 1 in 500 will die from the bite they receive. In fact, deaths by snakebite rarely exceed 10 in any given year in this country. I rattled those stats off by using the power of Google. After learning that Mawmaw had been bitten, a family friend reached out to ask how she was doing. He assumed she was doing fine, since he’d seen her piddling around out in the yard earlier in the day as he passed by but wanted to be sure. He’d heard all about it from another friend at the barber shop. Believe everything you hear at the barbershop. It’s the closest thing you’ll hear to the Gospel. My Mawmaw Jennings, who passed away in 1991, was born in 1899. She was known as Miss Ruby. The Mawmaw Jennings my friend was referring to is Jeb’s mother and Miss Ruby’s daughter-in-law Barbara, who is the widow of the legendary Curwood Jennings. Now don’t get Barbara mixed up

with “Ronnie’s Barbara.” You see, Ronnie is Curwood’s only surviving sibling, and he too, married a Barbara. Both are beautiful, sweet, and wonderful women. Confused yet? Well, confusion is what this article is all about. Barbara wasn’t bitten by a snake. Neither was Barbara. Miss Ruby certainly wasn’t bitten by a snake, as far as I know. But, Mawmaw Jennings was indeed bitten by one, right smack on the face. If you’re going to get bitten by a snake, that’s apparently the place for it to happen, if you have four legs, anyway. Mawmaw Jennings is a Siberian Husky and belongs to Jeb. Here’s the tale, according to my cousin. The real Mawmaw Jennings always said she was coming back as one of Ginger’s cats. Ginger is Jeb’s sister. In later years, he noticed Mawmaw would tilt her head a lot when she was looking at somebody. For example, at the funeral home when Curwood died, she

looked sideways at someone and said, “She’s a short fat thing!” One night, he noticed his dog tilting her head looking at him and realized, “This is Mawmaw Jennings,” so from that point on, that’s what he called her. There was absolutely no harm in the confusion as to who was bitten, but it just goes to show you how things get misreported and how rumors start. Always be careful with your words and know the facts before you begin a sentence with the words “I heard.” Those words make my short list, too, and I likely need to heed my own advice. Jeb wasn’t 100 percent certain it was her until one night when he caught her making no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies. I won’t be sure until I see her making sauerkraut and weenies. Those things were good! Fuller is a columnist for The Outlook. His column regularly appears in the paper.

Pray for those suffering from the storms How Social Security defines disability D

aily showers last month kept things outside fresh and plants watered, but now we badly need some rain since the promised thunderstorms last week were only two-minute showers, at least that is what Nixburg received. Getting no rain does slow down the growth of grass, but doesn’t help much else. I share the sadness of many over flooding, damage and loss of life throughout our coastal and inland neighboring states of the Carolinas and Virginia. The Atlantic coastline has been fated to get the brunt of dangerous storms in the past few years. Luckily, they did get a week or more of warning about the need to evacuate. Things get so serious when families decide not to leave and wait out the storm. Often they need rescuing putting life-savers in jeopardy, exposing them unnecessarily to the germs carried in flood waters.

ROSIE MORGAN Columnist

Wilmington was hit so hard that it is isolated and closed to traffic for miles. Food and other necessities of life are being flown in. I have a friend who lives in Wilmington, so hope things are well there for the family. The weekend brought some gentle breezes, but not much relief from the heat of the day. It reminded me of McAllen, Texas. Even though it was a steamy hot Sunday, the crowds turned out for the 13th annual Bark-in-the-Park for the Elmore County Humane Shelter held at Fort Toulouse in Wetumpka. There were 32 business supporters helping to put this together for a great day of dog and owner fun including The Landing at Parker Creek and Castaway Vet Clinic.

Shelter director Rea Cord sends out huge thank yous to all that donated, participated, all the volunteers and those dog owners that came out to enjoy the afternoon with their dogs. Beautiful deep pink spider lilies are popping up everywhere, they make great cut flowers in a slender vase. They will open up inside even if you cut them in the ‘just budding’ stage. We are just weeks away from the Halloween season. Then before we know it, Thanksgiving will arrive. My favorite celebration is Thanksgiving because it is about caring families being thankful, spending time around a large dinner together which usually consists of special dishes only made for such a special date. I already look forward to turkey and all the trimmings and left-overs for several more days. The Coosa road crew did return and work on some holes they

missed on our road last week, repairing several holes where my asphalt driveway meets the county road. Returning home on Saturday, there was a whole group of plump poultry on the driveway. It was as if we were herding the flock and they followed us to the top of the driveway at the house. They seemed to mind the dogs barking, but didn’t seem too bothered about us people. It was as if they were welcoming us back home. A couple of thoughts to ponder, “He who doesn’t save pennies will never have dollars” and “A grudge is too heavy a load for anyone to carry.” Until next week, keep smiling and always stay hydrated.

isability affects millions of Americans, in one form or another. Social Security is here to help you and your family, but there are strict criteria for meeting the definition of disability. The definition of disability under Social Security is KYLLE’ D. also different than it is for other MCKINNEY programs. We do not pay benefits Alabama Social for partial or short-term disability. Security Public We consider you disabled Affairs Specialist under Social Security rules if: • You can’t do work that you did before • We decide that you cannot adjust to other work because of your medical condition(s) • Your disability has lasted or is expected to last for at least one year or to result in death. This is a strict definition of disability. Social Security is also required by law to review the current medical condition of all people receiving disability benefits to make sure they continue to have a qualifying disability. Generally, if someone’s health hasn’t improved, or if their disability still keeps them from working, they will continue to receive benefits. To help us make our decision, we’ll first gather new information about a benefit recipient’s medical condition. We’ll ask their doctors, hospitals and other medical sources for their medical records. We’ll ask them how their medical condition limits their activities, what their medical tests show and what medical treatments they have been given. If we need more information, we’ll ask them to go for an examination or test for which we’ll pay. Social Security is a support system for people who cannot work because of a disability. You can learn more about Social Security disability at www. socialsecurity.gov/disability and also by accessing our starter kits and checklists at www.socialsecurity. gov/planners/disability.

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your delightful style and willing ways help others move out of a rut. You might become the cheerleader for several friends and associates. Group discussions produce multiple workable ideas. You will likely decide to veer oɈ-course. Tonight: Swap war stories with a friend. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You see a situation from a more detached perspective than many people. Others often see no beneĂ„t from periods of contemplation and thought. You know better and embrace the power of detachment, which you enjoy and indulge in regularly. Tonight: The party goes on and on! GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be in a situation where you want to allow others to run the show, to their delight. You’ll enjoy sitting back. Visualize more and say very little. You might be pleasantly surprised by what someone comes up with. Tonight: Let your mind Ă…oat from topic to topic. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be questioning details revolving around a key person in your life. Instead of overthinking the matter, let your feelings Ă…ow and lead the way. Emotions are sometimes more accurate than logical analysis. Tonight: Make it your pleasure to respond to a loved one’s request. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You will feel a lot better later in the day when you look back at how productive you’ve been as of late. Make some special time for just you and a loved one you don’t spend enough time with. This action could cause ear-to-ear smiling. Tonight: Start with a leisurely dinner. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have a unique viewpoint when it comes to handling a key problem. A creative style marks your work and actions in general. Remain open and clear about your choices. Others will listen, though they might not necessarily agree. Tonight: Catch up on some sleep if you can.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be slow to start. In fact, you might not get started until evening -- but once you do, you move with unusual quickness and certainty. You have the ability to accomplish a lot in very little time. Be reasonable about what you expect, even from yourself. Tonight: Dinner for two. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be in a position where you want to break away from it all. On some level, your reaction to pressure is part of what causes so many challenging situations. Try to assume a more laissez faire attitude, and you will be a lot happier. Tonight: Head home, then decide. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Keep reaching out to someone you care about. You might feel uneasy about dealing with some diɉcult interactions with this person. Ask yourself if you can approach the situation diɈerently. Later in the day, communication Ă…ourishes. Tonight: Chat the night away. CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) Stay upbeat in how you approach a trying creative venture and the person involved. You might be overly serious in dealing with this person. If you lighten up, the end result could be a lot better. Your positive energy might be needed in various situations. Tonight: All smiles. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) If you feel like withdrawing for a little while, give yourself permission to make those feelings valid. You will experience a surge of energy later in the day that could help you make up for lost time. It is important to have a few calm hours to yourself. Tonight: On top of the world. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Use the daylight hours to the max. A meeting helps you solidify a decision. You might be overly serious about a certain goal. Be willing to listen to others’ concerns; these thoughts need to be honestly valued. Given time, you’ll realize what you desire. Tonight: Catch some zzz’s.

ANDY GRAHAM Columnist

Who said Joe Burrow couldn’t beat Auburn?

S

top me if you’ve heard this one before. The Auburn Tigers blow a double-digit lead in the second half of Saturday’s game and lose to the LSU Tigers in heartbreaking fashion. Sound familiar? It should. For the second year in a row, Ed Orgeron bested Gus Malzahn in a highstakes, SEC-style battle of wits. My goodness, who would’ve ever believed that sentence could actually even exist in our known reality? Well, believe it because it rings with the unmistakable tone of truth. A lot has been made about the referees and especially the pass interference calls on the final drive. I would say there were a few penalties I disagreed with — as I do every single Saturday — but this game was not ultimately decided by the officials. Auburn should never have been in the position where all LSU needed was one drive to win the game. Gus Malzahn, Chip Lindsey, Kevin Steele and every player on offense and defense are responsible for the outcome. It was a team effort. There were two specific points I felt very comfortable and confident about going into the game. I knew there was a high probability the running games for each team would end up canceling each other out. Auburn ran for 130 yards and LSU ran for 121 yards. That left a battle of quarterbacks pitting Jarrett Stidham against Joe Burrow. This was the matchup I felt like Auburn would win all day every day. As it turned out, Burrow simply outplayed Stidham. Now, in fairness, it wasn’t like Burrow played a phenomenal game, but he did make the plays that needed to be made during crunch time. He threw for 249 yards and one touchdown without throwing an interception. Stidham threw for 189 yards and one touchdown but threw two critical interceptions and could not move the offense in the fourth quarter. The other aspect, in which I felt like I was standing on sure footing, was LSU’s offense could not consistently drive the entire field against the AU defense. I am 0-for-2. LSU had five drives of at least nine plays covering 34, 48, 75, 60 and 52 yards. Those drives accounted for 16 of the Tigers 22 points. The other six points came on the 71-yard pass play in the fourth quarter. Again, the Auburn defense didn’t play terrible by any means, but it continues to give up big plays and allowed LSU to run 77 plays on a brutally hot day. It’s obviously just one loss and certainly not the end of the world. An See GRAHAM • Page 11

Jenni Roy, second from left, has taken over as the new head coach for Dadeville’s volleyball team.

NEW WOMAN IN CHARGE Jenni Roy takes over as Dadeville volleyball coach

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Now midway through the volleyball season, Dadeville is undergoing a big change, as Jenni Roy is being ushered in as the Tigers new head coach. Roy, who has been the junior varsity head coach this season, will take over for Felicia Edwards. “I’m transitioning into the varsity role, and I’m really excited about it,” Roy said. “It’s my second year at Dadeville, but the passion that the players have and the team has and the school has is just invigorating. I’m loving every second of it. I feel very lucky.”

Roy was a cheerleader in high school, and although she didn’t play volleyball, she’s been around the game a lot. Many of her friends in her hometown — Roy grew up in the Dothan area —played on volleyball travel teams. “I went to a lot of their games and some of their practices as well,” Roy said. “So I’m familiar with it, but I’ve gotten very familiar very quickly starting this summer.” Dadeville is going through a bit of a rebuilding year after the graduation of five starters from last year’s successful squad. The Tigers have won just two matches so far this year and are 2-5 on the season.

But like Roy moving into the head coaching spot, Dadeville has also gone through some transitions on the court due to injuries and replacing all those starters. As the new head coach, Roy is trying to keep her team mentally focused and said teaching those aspects of the game is more important than just wins and losses. “We’re just trying to keep our head in the game,” Roy said after the Tigers’ loss to Horseshoe Bend on Monday. “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.”

Goshen coach amazed by growth in popularity of volleyball STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

Amy Warrick has coached for more than a decade and she is astonished at the surge in popularity of volleyball. Even at smaller schools, such as Goshen High in Pike County where Warrick is head volleyball and softball coach, girls — and fans — are flocking to the sport. “We get great community support,” Warrick said. “At our season-opener at home against Brantley, we had more than 700 people here.” Goshen’s population is 255. “I’ve seen this sport just take off in the past few years,”

Warrick said. “We can’t keep the kids out of the gym. We’d love to have a boys’ team, too. When I put the nets up, they get so excited. They want to know how to play the right way. It’s a fast-paced, fun game. There’s something that everybody can do.” Goshen fields three teams: varsity for ninth- through 12th-graders; junior varsity for eighth-, ninth- and occasionally 10th-graders; and a junior high squad for seventh- and eighthgraders. “I have a team of 13 to 14 girls,” Warrick said, “but I’ll have 60 come to tryouts.” According to Alabama High School Athletic Association

figures reported to the National Federation of State High School Associations, 10,095 students participated in volleyball in Alabama in 201718 from a total of 384 schools. That total is up 2.2 percent from the year before. Volleyball is the No. 1 girls’ sport both in Alabama and in the United States in terms of participation. “In physical education classes, we have a lot of kids playing volleyball,” Warrick said. “You don’t have to force them to play (for exercise). When I have open gym time outside of school hours, I’ll see second- and third-graders playing.” Warrick, whose team

finished second to St. Luke’s Episcopal of Mobile in last year’s Class 2A volleyball state tournament, has been head coach at Goshen for five years. She was an assistant at Goshen and, before that, at Ariton for a total of seven years. As a coach, Warrick and all AHSAA coaches and administrators must also focus on ensuring the health and safety of student-athletes. “One thing our county system requires is to have all coaches certify every year in CPR,” she said. “The certifications are good for two years, but we certify every year.

LAST-SECOND LOSS Photos by Cliff Williams / The Outlook

Auburn lost a heartbreaker to LSU, 22-21, on Saturday. Top left: Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham tries to escape a collapsing pocket against LSU. Top right: Auburn’s Asa Martin leaps LSU’s Greedy Williams. Bottom left: Auburn’s JaTarvious Whitlow is brough down by LSU’s Devin White (40) and Andre Anthony (46). Bottom right: Auburn’s Darius Slayton is unable to come up with a Jarrett Stidham pass as LSU’s Kristian Fulton defends.

early loss to LSU actually galvanized the last two Auburn teams that went on to play in the SEC championship game. However, this just has a sickening (all-toofamiliar) feeling of a different verse in the same old song. I’ve always said I don’t mind getting beaten by a better team. I might not enjoy it, but it’s understandable. I do not believe LSU is a better team than Auburn. In fact, I’ll go on record and say LSU will lose at least four games. Of course, Auburn might too, but I still think my Tigers are better. The offensive line needs to improve especially in run blocking. The Auburn offense needs more explosive plays and the Auburn defense has to stop giving up so many explosive plays in the secondary. There’s a lot to work on, but Arkansas has been good medicine this year for their opponents. My prescription for the Tigers is to clobber the Hogs and call me in the morning.
