Judge denies motion to dismiss lawsuit By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
The lawsuit against eastside mill owner, Tommy Hudson, is back in full swing after Circuit Judge Tom Young denied a motion filed by Mt. Vernon Pine, LLC, to dismiss the claim. The council recently reinstated the lawsuit after the Tallassee City Council voted to halt legal action against Hudson once an agreement to clean up the mill site was reached. However, work at the site has come to a standstill. The original decision to bring suit against Hudson came during the July 2016 council meeting
when the building inspector at the time, John Stonaker, explained the walls remaining at the mill site were in danger of collapse and with only a fence around the structure to keep the public off of the property, it could potentially be a liability issue. During the May 2017 Tallassee City Council meeting, council members voted to dismiss the lawsuit without prejudice after discussions with Hudson began and a cleanup agreement was reached. The cleanup started just a few weeks later, and by June of 2017, it was in full force. Recently, work to clean the site has stopped, and on Aug. 26 the lawsuit was reinstated. See LAWSUIT • Page A2

The third annual Dam Century Ride is only three weeks away, set for Oct. 6, and coordinators are eagerly waiting for it. “I am really excited about it,” Tallassee Chamber of Commerce Director Jerry Cunningham said. Registration for this event has already begun and will be open until the day of the ride. With cyclists from around the Southeast expected, the Tallassee Chamber of Commerce hopes this event will spotlight the city. This year, there will be three courses to choose from, so riders of all skill levels may participate. There will be an 18-mile course for the beginner cyclists, and a 60- or 100-mile ride for the more experienced cyclist. No matter the distance, a cyclist will take in the sights from Elmore, Tallapoosa, Macon, Bullock and Montgomery County. See RIDE • Page A3

The Tallassee City Council discussed mosquito control options during Tuesday’s work session after Mayor Johnny Hammock announced the city was halting the service for the rest of the year. This move comes after concerned parents contacted city officials because city employees were spraying insecticide near the recreation center’s practice football fields in east Tallassee while children were there. “We are no longer going to spray for mosquitoes this year,” Hammock said. “We are very close to the time of year that we normally stop spraying.” It costs the city just more than $13,000 to spray mosquito control, and See MOSQUITO • Page A2

Hammock says Hudson asked for dismissal, pointing out the condition of the longstanding westside mill and comparing the two. However, there are several key differences between the two mill sites. The Tallassee Redevelopment Authority owns the westside mill and they, along with the Tallassee Historical Society, had the site added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the country’s historic buildings, districts, sites, structures and other objects worthy of preservation. It was
established as part of the National Historical Preservation Act of 1966 and is overseen by the National Park Service. While both mills are considered eyesores to many, Hammock says the eastside mill poses a great safety hazard and must be cleaned up sooner than later. “I’m not sure what’s in there,” Hammock said. “I don’t know if there are things in there that could pose a threat to our water treatment plant or a threat to the environment. The Tallapoosa River is right there, and it’s a natural resource.”

Hammock said saving this money is a viable option. “I’m going to get beat up anyway, whether we spray or don’t spray,” he said. “Do you all want to save the $13,000?” 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 is used on crops, animals, and buildings. Permethrin has been used much longer than chlorpyrifos and appears to be much safer than its counterpart. It is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system. While Permethrin has been in use 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. During Tuesday’s work session discussions, most of the council is in favor of continuing the practice. “We need to continue to spray for mosquitoes,” councilman Darrell Wilson said. “Schedule it where the ball fields are sprayed once a week and ask the teams not to practice on that day of the week.” Council member, Sarah Hill, voiced concerns over poor drainage issues in some Tallassee neighborhoods. “There is so much standing water, and the mosquitos are so bad,” she said. Only about half of Tallassee’s neighboring municipalities use mosquito control. The town of Eclectic and the City of Tuskegee do not spray mosquito control. The town of Millbrook does spray mosquito control, and the City of Wetumpka uses mosquito control in pellet form rather than spraying for the pest. The council has to decide on this before next year’s warm weather arrives. “We will have to make a decision before February of next year,” Hammock said.

Would you tell a guy you like him, but hated his wife? It’s an odd thing to love Jesus, but hate what He loves. The Bible tells us, “Christ loved the church and gave himself for Her” (Ephesians 5:25). He “nourishes and cherishes the church” (verse 29). RevelaƟon pictures the church as “a bride adorned for her husband” (21:2) and refers to the church as the bride of Jesus in at least four places. Jesus was faithful in worship aƩendance: “As his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day” (Luke 4:16). So if we say, “I love Jesus, but not the church” — well, nope, sorry, that dog won’t hunt. One simply can’t believe His words without believing what He said about His church.

Oliver North visiting with Tallapoosa County Republicans a national celebrity as our featured speaker,” Tallapoosa County Republican Party 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

A retired Marine, television show host and member of the National Security Council during the Ronald Reagan administration will be paying a special visit to Alexander City in October. Col. Oliver North is scheduled to be the guest speaker at a dinner of the Tallapoosa County Republican Party Thursday, Oct. 25 at The Mill Two Eighty in Alexander City. Doors open for a pre-dinner social at 5:45 p.m., with the dinner and program scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. “While we have had very successful and well attended dinners over the past 20-plus years, this is the first time that I can recall we have had

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. Along with North, many local and state candidates in November’s election will also be present at the dinner. Tickets will be required to attend the dinner. For more information about the event, or to purchase tickets, contact Bates at tallagop@outlook.com, or at 256-749-0715.
Hygiene

Hammock said. “We’ll give these supplies to the school nurses and guidance counselors. If a student needs something they can discreetly come and ask for it without being embarrassed.” While these supplies have been delivered, this campaign is ongoing, and Hammock says the class hopes to furnish the elementary and middle schools in the area with a Youth
Hygiene Care Chest. “We only have enough for the high school right now, but we are still taking donations,” Hammock said. There are several items on the collections list including toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, soap, shampoo, conditioner, feminine hygiene products, wet wipes, Q-Tips, dental floss and hand sanitizer. Donations may be dropped off in
Tallassee at City Hall or the Chamber of Commerce. Donations can also be made at the Wetumpka Chamber of Commerce or the Millbrook Chamber of Commerce. Leadership Elmore County began in 2000 when representatives from the Millbrook, Tallassee and Wetumpka Area Chambers of Commerce met with educators at the Elmore County office of the Alabama Cooperative
Extension System to design a leadership program that would fit the needs of Elmore County residents. The program begins each year in September. Every year the class is also required to select, develop and execute a class project. The program concludes in May with the class graduation. For more information contact the Leadership Elmore County Class of 2018 at 2018LECCLASS@gmail.com.
Ride
continued from page A1
“All the routes will be challenging, but you will find yourself surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in Alabama,” Cunningham said. According to Cunningham, the chamber could not pull this event off without the help of sponsors. Sponsorships opportunities are still available. The chamber will also host the best rest stop contest during this year’s Dam Century Ride with cash prizes for the winner. Each rest stop is responsible for providing the cyclists with refreshments. Coordinators are encouraged to be as creative as they would like when choosing a theme for their rest stop. Area businesses, clubs, and organizations are encouraged to
sponsor a rest stop along the course and the first-, second- and third-place winners will be recognized following the ride. With two successful rides already in the books, Cunningham says this event will put Alabama on the map. “We hope to make this a big success so that in the future we may be able to be on the Alabama Backroads Series,” he said. Alabama Backroads is an organization dedicated to informing cyclists about century rides across the state. If you are interested in registering for or sponsoring this upcoming century ride or if you would like additional information on this upcoming event, contact the Tallassee Chamber of Commerce at 334-283-5151.
Cyclists from around the region will soon embark on Tallassee to take part in the annual Dam Century Ride that is scheduled for Oct. 6. This century ride is hosted by the Tallassee Chamber of Commerce. File / The Tribune

9/11 documentaries should be presented annually
T
hese are times when the validity and/or believability of so-called television “documentaries” has gotten somewhat nebulous. I found a definition of “documentary” online that reads: “A movie or a television or radio program that provides a factual record or report.” That’s the traditional interpretation; i.e., that the presentation is told for the truth. However, certain recent programming, presented in a documentary format, has come across as warping known facts and/or creating outright false scenes in order to enhance its entertainment value. “Fake documentaries” have been discussed herein previously and they won’t be visited in this essay. It’s been 17 years since The Day Things Changed. Like any traumatic event, almost everyone who remembers the horror of Sept. 11, 2001 can recall (1) where they were when airliners crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in rural Pennsylvania, and (2) where they were when they first saw the video images of the carnage. A lot of media outlets and
organizations have done a commendable job of marking the anniversary. Some programs that had been broadcast on earlier 9/11 anniversaries are being re-broadcast, such as “102 Minutes That Changed America,” first presented on the History Channel in 2008. It was originally broadcast commercial-free, and its length was 102 minutes. Reportedly, its video footage was acquired from more than 100 news organizations and average citizens. “102 Minutes That Changed America” is an unadornedyet-organized collage, for lack of a better term. It focuses on the actions and reactions of ordinary Americans (mostly in New York City) to the largest terrorist act ever committed on U.S. soil. The presentation has no narration, and a virtual realtime clock regularly appears in a corner of the screen. What dialogue there is comes off as occasionally chilling—a one-way telephone conversation between a first responder and someone trapped on the 105th floor of one of the Towers. There are also communications with firefighters who entered the buildings and would
WILLIE MOSELEY Columnist ultimately not exit. Call it “temporary idealism” if you wish (considering currents times), but persons of different races, nationalities, and ethnicities are shown helping each other. Reportedly, citizens of 90 countries were killed. One bearded rescue worker talking on a walkietalkie is wearing a yarmulke, and the wording on his yellow safety vest is written in Hebrew. One ominous voiceover urges bystanders to get away from the area, because “the building is not stable.” Not long afterwards, the first tower collapses. The impact belches out a monstrous, malevolent, grayish-tan cloud that surges like a giant amoeba through the concrete canyons of the Big Apple, as terrified onlookers flee. The rampaging, toxic entity almost appears to be alive. The same type of scene is repeated when the second tower comes down.
Right or wrong, such dramain-real-life scenes may remind some viewers of movies such as War of the Worlds or Cloverfield, but such a reference isn’t laudable. One important facet shows first responders being treated for exhaustion, smoke (and toxic dust) inhalation and injuries, which underlines the dangers inherent to such occupations. One of the last video appearances in “102 Minutes That Changed America” is unforgettable. A small child, whose family apparently lives near the World Trade Center, announces to her parents, “It’s not there anymore.” Another presentation, apparently new this year, was titled “9/11—Escape from the Towers.” It recounted the efforts of more than one group of employees of companies which had offices near the impact points on each tower. The new effort is more of a traditional documentary, with narration, computer graphics showing construction and escape routes, etc. Some of the participants had not told their stories publicly since the event. The repetitive
present-day video bust shots of some of the survivors slowly turning their heads towards the camera might come off as a bit specious (fault the producers, not the participants). However, their stories are riveting. One woman was seven months pregnant at the time, and another woman, who was wheelchair-bound, was carried down 65 flights of stairs by two strangers. One survivor accurately noted that he and his peers had started that day as fellow employees, and ended up becoming lifetime brothers and sisters. 9/11 documentaries are numerous, and since their (ideal) primary function should be to inform instead of entertain, continuing such annual presentations about that traumatic day in recent history should be requisite. Because as morbid as those memories are, vigilance mandates that they should never be forgotten.

Mawmaw got bit
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. 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
JODY FULLER Columnist 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 sour kraut and weenies. Those things were good!

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist
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 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.

J.E. ‘Hot’ O’Brien Stadium Each year the Kiwanis Club puts out a Christmas ornament for sale and over the past years they have put out about 10. I have one of each on my mantle board. By the way, this mantle board is the same mantle board that my Christmas stockings hung from in mama’s house. Someday I will tell you about all the things that make up this house. These ornaments show the Hot O’Brien Stadium and when I saw it memories of this stadium came flooding back. I can remember back before it wasn’t O’Brien Stadium, even back to the wooden fence that surrounded the field. Baseball was a big sport and there was there wooden grand stand behind home plate. Next to it was the concession stand and above the concession stand was the announcers booth, on either side was the restrooms on the left facing the field was the men’s and on the right was the women’s restrooms. At one baseball game my older brother was going to boost me over the fence, he was bigger and could climb over. We hollered through the cracks of the fence, catch me when I come over. He then boosted me and on the other side was Cecil Thrash one of the towns two policemen, he caught me in his arms. I hollered run Mickey run and my brother took off. Cecil gave me a talking to and carried this seven-year-old
RONALD BRANTLEY Columnist criminal to the front gate and ran me home. Then came the cement block wall after all the professional baseball games had been played and football was the big sport. Some new concrete bleachers were built, and locker rooms built for the ballplayers and we were on our way to a fifty-seven-game winning streak in high school football victories. As years went by all night singings became the rage of the south and our town became the draw for this area of Alabama. Groups like The Blackwood Brothers, The LeFevre’s, Hovie Lister and the Statesman, plus many more of the nations top quartets performed here. Many more things happened as the years passed. One of the biggest attractions I’ve mentioned before in other articles were the acrobatic halftimes by Loree Atkins. Let’s go to the name J.E. “Hot” O’Brien. A group of Tallassee people comprised mainly of Hot’s ballplayers got together and with the entire town’s approval gave the name J.E. “Hot” O’Brien to the stadium.
Ned Butler approached me about putting the name across the press box, but he said we don’t want the public to see it until we unveil it. I made cutout letters, as I installed each letter I covered it with a canvas. All of this was done the day before the unveiling. On the grand day crowds of people showed up and with speeches and ceremonies it finally came time to show the name. I was nervous as a cat because I wasn’t sure that when I pulled the rope the canvas would fall exposing the sign. I was waiting and when the time came I yanked the rope and it came down perfectly. The crowd clapped, and I breathed a sigh of relief. The marble monument telling of the 57-game winning streak was placed near the front gate, it has been moved two or three times. I don’t have time or room to tell you how it came about that we painted the park and paid for it. That will come another day. If you buy one of these Christmas ornaments that are now on sale look at it closely it has some good stories to tell. If you are old enough memories will come flooding back.

After 9/11, how unified are we? “D
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 post9/11 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 fate, with
JOHN TURES Columnist
African-Americans most likely to agree with the statement, followed by whites, AsianAmericans 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 African-Americans led, followed by Hispanics, whites and Asian-Americans. 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.

No shame in hard work A
few weeks ago, a photo of a man working as a cashier and bagger at a grocery store was posted to social media. The pictures made the rounds, and before long Twitter and Instagram were work-shaming actor Geoffrey Owens for bagging groceries at a Trader Joe’s store in New Jersey. British newspaper The Daily Mail picked up the story, which made it to Fox News. From there, within a day or two, everyone seemed to have an opinion. Worse yet, it seemed many people took glee in making fun of the actor for his side hustle. Owens, who played Dr. Cliff Huxtable’s son-in-law Elvin Thibodeaux on “The Cosby Show” from 1985 to 1992, has never stopped being a working actor. In the quarter-century since “Cosby” went off the
MICHAEL BIRD Columnist air, he’s appeared in numerous television episodes and stage productions. In the wake of the Bill Cosby scandals of recent years, however, the cash flow from “The Cosby Show” reruns dried up as the program was permanently pulled from syndication. Owens found steady employment over the past year and a half at Trader Joe’s. When Owens spoke publicly following his job-shaming incident, he said he hoped his experience would lead to a “new recognition about dignity of work and the dignity of the
working person.” The actor also noted that “one kind of work is not better, superior, than another kind of work.” Here in The Tallassee Tribune back in 2008, I wrote an essay titled “Because of Super Foods,” a play on the title of Kate DiCamillo’s Newbery Awardwinning book “Because of Winn-Dixie.” In all of the years writing for the newspaper, I have never received more comments from readers than I did when I wrote that particular column. Reflecting on Geoffrey Owens’ situation, I went back and read my own words from back then. They are reprinted below.

Council gets a look at 2019 budget By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
Tallassee is expected to take in $9.5 million in revenue in 2019, according to finance committee chairman Bill Godwin, and is expected to expend about $9.3 million, he told fellow council members during the Sept. 11 regularly scheduled work session. According to Godwin, the finance committee focused on regular line items, especially the regular line items with larger associated expenses, such as water, gas, sales tax and more. Committee members then compared those expected expenditures to the projected revenue to create the 2019 budget.
Newly generated revenue sources were also factored in the estimated fiscal budget, such as the new imposed ad valorem tax and one cent sales tax increase, which were passed by the council in April of this year. “We project an additional $450,000 in ad valorem tax,” Godwin said. “These are new taxes that we have never had in the city of Tallassee.” This newly imposed tax was passed by the council in April, along with a one cent increase in sales tax. Lost revenue and revenue that could be reduced over the next year was also factored into the projected fiscal budget. “We sold Seven Gables and we will not have the revenue that it generated this year,” he said. “We tried to factor in any
revenue that may go away or be reduced. The same thing with expenditures; we are looking at expenditures that could go away. Those are few and far between.” Expenditures for certain line items in the projected budget have been adjusted, such as the costs of some cast iron pipes that was increased to $200,000, Godwin said. Council members were asked to carefully review the proposed fiscal budget over the next two weeks to ensure any necessary adjustments are made before they have to vote on it. “Any money that we feel doesn’t need to be used on a certain line item can be moved to another line item where it’s needed,” Godwin said. Tallassee Mayor Johnny Hammock
expressed concern over work schedules for regular city employees and asked the council members to consider extending their time off during the upcoming holidays. He said some of the employees thought it would be nice if they could have New Year’s Eve off this year. “That’s not a scheduled holiday but it falls on a Monday. They could be going out of town and things like that and it could be a long weekend for them,” Hammock said. Members of the council will review the 2019 fiscal budget during a work session scheduled for Sept. 25 beginning at 4:30 p.m. at city hall and are expected to vote on it at the regularly scheduled council meeting at 6 p.m.
City of Tallassee to celebrate Family Week By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
On Tuesday, the Tallassee City Council proclaimed Sept. 24 as Family Day and Sept. 23-29 as Family Week. The proclamation, sponsored by the Alabama Family Rights Association, encourages the entire state of Alabama to participate in this year’s Family Day/Week. “Family Day brings together communities across the state and nation to celebrate the positive influence parents have on their kids,” Tallassee Mayor Johnny Hammock said. Family Day is a coast-to-coast crusade to celebrate parental engagement as an effective tool to help keep the nation’s children drug-free. According to AFRA, families are the cornerstones of an orderly society. However, over the last several decades, Alabama families have grown progressively weaker. “This proclamation encourages residents to join together in observing this day and week by devoting time with their families and by engaging in activities that will honor and strengthen both our city’s and state’s families,” AFRA’s state president Kenneth Paschal said. Family Day in Alabama has evolved to Family Week and expanded to reflect the importance of connecting with children throughout the week and making a concentrated effort to implement programs that stress the importance of a child’s needs and the importance of interacting together as a family. Additionally, scientific data indicates when both parents are actively involved in a child’s life, the outcome is measurably improved; children who spend significant time with their parents and family members have decreased the chances of youth suicides, school dropouts, juvenile drug abuse, teen pregnancies and incarceration. Furthermore, research shows children with hands-on parents are far less likely to exhibit risky and disruptive behavioral problems. According to AFRA, this is an important community and national initiative to remind parents, communities and leaders children whose parents are not engaged and involved in their upbringing and care are children “at risk.” “We are asking you to eat a meal or do some other activity together,” Hammock said.

The council was created in honor of Alvin McCraney, who was a local educator, glee club and choir director, and a renowned vocalist and performer who made a great impact on the art programs in Tallassee. After his death in 1963, Dr.
John Cottle and other members of the community founded the McCraney Arts Council to honor man was so well regarded for his contributions to the art programs in Tallassee. Since its creation, the arts council has provided members with various opportunities to attend local performances by professional artists, from theatre to music, all while introducing locals to the arts. Some of the art council’s past performances include, “Robinson Crusoe” and “Tom Sawyer.” Gifts to the council are tax deductible and go toward ensuring the arts remain a staple in Tallassee. For more information on how to support the McCraney-Cottle Arts Council, call Cunningham at 334-283-5151.
Almost every driver has encountered it — grass clippings in the roadway. Not only is unsightly, but it can also be dangerous, and one council member is encouraging residents to be considerate and dispose of grass clippings properly. “I’m thankful people are cutting grass, don’t get me wrong,” councilman David Stough said. “People are cutting their grass and putting it out in the road. Sometimes grass gets pretty high and I’ve seen the road covered in it.” Stough said he reached out to the municipal building inspector, Andy Coker, only to find out the city had no regulations in place regarding the improper disposal of grass clippings. “We don’t have ordinances on this,” he said.
Stough stressed the safety hazard grass clippings in a roadway could pose to drivers, especially drivers who are on two wheels. “Not only does it look trashy but I’ve seen cases where motorcycles have slid out from under people.” The city’s infrastructure has been an area of concern for many years, and Stough says grass clippings can make their way into the drainage system and cause big problems. “Not only is it a safety hazard, it looks bad and it could be stopping up our drains,” he said. “We already have a bad drainage problem.” According to Stough, the solution to this unsightly, unsafe problem is simple. “If we could encourage everyone to not throw their grass slipping in the road,” he said. “That would be great.”

USDA trade mitigation program could help area farmers STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue launched a trade mitigation package aimed at assisting farmers suffering damage from trade retaliation by foreign nations, according to a news release by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Producers of certain commodities can sign up for the Market Facilitation Program, while USDA will begin to purchase identified commodities under a food purchase and distribution program. “These programs will allow President Trump time to strike long-term trade deals to benefit our entire economy, including the agricultural sector, in the long run,� Perdue said. “Farmers will tell you that they would always prefer to sell a good crop at a fair price, rather than receive government aid, and that’s what long-term trade deals will accomplish. But in the meantime, President Trump has promised that he will not allow American agriculture to bear the brunt of the unjustified retaliation from foreign nations. Today we are putting the President’s promise into action.�

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue launched a trade mitigation program that could help local farmers.
Programs to be employed include: • USDA’s Farm Service Agency will administer the Market Facilitation Program to provide payment to corn, cotton, dairy, hog, sorghum, soybean and wheat producers. • USDA’s Agricultural
tance programs, such as The Emergency Food Assistance Program and child nutrition programs. • The Foreign Agricultural Service and the Agricultural Promotion Program, $200 million will be made available to develop foreign mar-
Marketing Service will administer a good purchase and distribution program to purchase up to $1.2 billion in commodities targeted by retaliation. USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service will distribute those commodities through nutrition assis-
kets for U.S. Agricultural products. The program is designed to help agricultural exports identify and access new markets. For more information on the programs or contact a local FSA office, visit www. farmers.gov.
Area groups leading Hurricane Florence relief efforts By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
After Hurricane Florence lashed the Carolina coast, efforts to provide relief in the aftermath of the storm are taking shape in Tallapoosa County. The Alexander City Area Ministerial Association has started collecting supplies to be sent into the hardest-hit areas, while the Lake Martin Area United Way is taking monetary donations for relief efforts. “We have done this in previous years,� association vice president Pastor Rick Levell of Marshall Street Church of God said. “We are just trying to be proactive and help folks. Back after the tornadoes in 2011, everyone was coming to help us, so I tell people we need to help others back.� Currently, the ministerial association is collecting non-
perishable food items, pallets of bottled water, diapers, formula, bar soap and other necessities, according to Levell. Clothing and other such items are not being taken, but any kind of non-perishable food and water will be accepted. One suggestion Levell had for his congregation, as well as those in the community wanting to donate, was to simply add $10 onto the regular grocery budget and get whatever $10 will purchase. Levell said the current plan is to collect everything by Friday, Sept. 21, at which time the ministerial association will rent a truck, load all the collected items up and transport them to where they are needed. However, this plan is completely contingent on the storm and when it moves along. “We could go longer on our collection time. It’s all dependent on the storm,� Levell said. “We

appreciate whatever anyone can give.� For those who may not be able to obtain food and water, Levell said the church would also accept monetary donations for gathering supplies, renting and fueling the truck transporting the donations. Before dropping off supplies or money, Levell asked the public to call the church first at 256-234-3180, then try Levell at 256-750-1899 and make sure someone was at the church to receive donations. Lake Martin Area United Way Executive Director Sharon Fuller said the United Way Worldwide has changed how those in need can get information, while the local organization has started taking in financial assistance to be spread out among the affected area as needed. “Those in need can text ‘FLORENCE’ to 898-211 to receive detailed, state-specific information,�

People can go online to UnitedWay.org/Florence to donate, or they can stop by our office and give.� Along with these two groups, the Central Alabama Electric Cooperative, which services portions of Tallapoosa County, has sent 16 linemen to North Carolina to assist the Carteret-Craven Electric Cooperative with repairing any potential power outages in the area around Havelock, North Carolina. With recovery efforts yet to fully get underway, knowing these supplies and funds will be ready to go when they are needed is a refreshing sight. “I want to go ahead and thank everyone in advance for being supportive and giving. Everyone in the community is always good about giving,� Levell said.

I
encourage people to read their Bible every day, asking God to incline their hearts and open their eyes to see wonderful things in God’s word. But I must admit that some of the daily readings are more interesting and inspiring than others. Do you find this to be true for you, too? For example, a couple of months ago I was reading in the second half of Joshua. Now the first half of Joshua is exciting— Joshua becomes Israel’s new leader; they cross the Jordan on dry ground. The walls of Jericho fall. Then the cities of Canaan fall one by one as God gives them victory over their enemies in battle after battle. But in the second half, the stories of conflict and conquest are replaced by an account of the divisions of the land among the tribes and clans. I understand how the material was relevant and important to those people receiving their allotment of the promised land. I see why it mattered to their
www.TallasseeTribune.com THE TALLASSEE TRIBUNE
descendants. But reading about it today is like reading legal property descriptions, titles and deeds in the musty old record books in the basement of the county courthouse. It’s important information, but it’s not very interesting. It’s not our property, and it was a long time ago. Am I the only one whose mind could wander while reading those descriptions? I admit my mind wandered as I sipped my early morning coffee and let the words roll past my eyes without much mental connection. Then after all the cities and pasture-lands and allotments and hard to pronounce names of faraway places and people, the light came on when I came to this: “Thus the Lord gave to Israel all the land that he swore to give to their fathers. And they took possession of it, and they settled there. And the Lord gave them rest on every side just as he had sworn to their fathers. Not one of all their enemies had withstood them, for the Lord had
Not one MIKE MCELROY East Tallassee Church of Christ given all their enemies into their hands. Not one word of all the good promises that the Lord had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass” (Joshua 20:43-45). Centuries had passed since God promised their ancestor Abraham that he would do this. Decades had passed since God brought their parents out of Egypt. But the Lord finally brought Israel into the land of Canaan. He gave it to them, and gave them rest in it, just as he had promised. But the part that really caught my eye was the double “not one.” Did you notice it? “Not one of all their enemies had withstood them... Not one word of all the
good promises...failed.” “Not one” enemy had prevailed against the Israelites. They had encountered many enemies as they moved into and conquered the land. Joshua chapter 12 names 31 Canaanite kings who were defeated. There were no exceptions to what God said would happen. “Not one” word of all God’s promises failed. Joshua led Israel during a time of transition and new experiences for the people. Their parents were the Exodus generation, slaves delivered from Egypt by God’s power. With the exception of Joshua and Caleb, everyone in the group that entered Canaan had either been very young at the time of the Exodus, or had been born in the wilderness in the past 40 years. Now they were settling down to live free in their own land, no longer slaves, no longer wanderers. Whatever God promised came to pass. God’s word was sure and accurate, from the big picture to
the specific details. The Israelites had the best possible guarantee of success—promises made by a God who cannot lie. When God said it, it happened. What’s the lesson for us? Passing time, scary enemies and challenging new situations have no effect on God’s word. He is outside of time and bigger than any threat his people face. In a changing world, God’s people can trust his sure promises. Do you sometimes doubt God’s promises? Which ones, and why? Do you trust the promise of forgiveness in Christ? Do you believe that he will never leave you or forsake you? Do you rest assured that he will provide for your needs? Remember, not one enemy withstood. Not one word failed. Trust him. As Paul reminded us about Jesus, “All the promises of God find their ‘Yes’ in him” (2 Corinthians 1:20). Mike McElroy is a regular faith columnist for The Tribune.

Tigers taking positives from first area loss By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Tallassee faced one of its biggest tests of the season last week in the team’s third match of the season. After two area wins over Valley and Beauregard, the Tigers hosted the reigning Class 4A state champion St. James. The Trojans won in straight sets but not without a little fight from Tallassee. “We just try to stay focused on every point,” Tallassee coach Katie Rigsby said. “Playing a team that is the defending state champions, you just have to remain focused on every single point. You’re going to see some bumps in the road playing a team like that.” The Tigers saw one of those bumps pretty quickly, losing the first eight points of the match. Tallassee couldn’t make up for the slow start and dropped the opening set 25-6. The Tigers were outmatched but Rigsby knew her players were not giving up. See VOLLEYBALL • Page B2

Tallassee rebounded in a big way last week with its victory over Class 5A No. 4 Carroll. The Tigers will look to continue their momentum this week when they host the Bobcats from Early County, Georgia. Tallassee coach Mike Battles said his team is ready for Friday’s game and the Tigers are not looking at things differently just because their opponent is from another state. “It’s still the same game,” Battles said. “There’s no mind change for the game at all. We’re going to prepare

The Bobcats defeated Eufala 28-3 in the second week after forcing seven turnovers. Running back Aaron Yarbrough rushed for 220 yards and two touchdowns in the win. “They’ve got a good team,” Battles said. “Early County has been down for a couple of years but they’re 3-1 right now.

Holtville’s Buck leads Bulldogs to victory in debut

By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Holtville has seen its share of troubles on the football field over the last decade. Things looked to be getting worse again when quarterback Drake Baker left Week 2’s loss to Handley due Buck to an injury to his throwing elbow. However, sophomore Braxton Buck stepped into the role and found success in last week’s game against Childersburg. In the team’s home opener, Buck threw for 196 yards and four touchdowns while completing 13 of his 19 pass attempts. He also added 28 rushing yards. “Braxton did a tremendous job,” Holtville coach Jason Franklin said. “He was very efficient, running the offense well and making some big throws when we needed it.

The quarterback does a good job of distributing the ball across the field. They’re very athletic.” The Tigers only loss this season was a 40-21 defeat to Greenville.

tanhope Elmore hosted Tallassee in a volleyball match Monday night but the circumstances around the court mattered more to the Mustang program. Before the varsity match, SEHS coach Virginia Barber and the players held a moment to honor three women who are currently battling cancer. “We’ve been talking all year about how this game was just a little bit more than a volleyball game,” Barber said. “We told them to play for
something different today, to play for somebody and they did. They know the meaning behind this.” Both Carrie Ward and Trina Stephens, who both have daughters on the junior high volleyball team, were on hand to receive a bouquet of flowers and recognition from a full crowd at the Stanhope Elmore gym. Yvette Johnson was also honored but couldn’t attend. After the three were recognized on the court, the PA announcer allowed time for a moment of silence for all other friends and relatives who had died from cancer. See CANCER • Page B2

Was Baker Mayfield even that good or can anyone play quarterback at Oklahoma? And will anyone even challenge Alabama this season? These types of things are questioned during September of every season. And while most of them are proven to be a little crazy before the end of the season, what if some them are real? What if this Alabama team is actually unstoppable? The Crimson Tide are off to a historic start. This season’s squad is the first team in the history of the SEC to score at least 50 points in each of its first three games. It has an average margin of victory of 47.3 points per game and that’s against one ACC opponent, one Sun Belt opponent and one SEC opponent. That is likely not going to hold up but the number is well on its way to topping the record for a See SABAN • Page B2

Reeltown to face toughest test so far By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
There’s no doubt about it — Reeltown is a good football team. But the question remains: Just how good are the Rebels? That question should be answered Friday night. Although they have dominated every team they’ve faced so far, the Rebels haven’t exactly faced off against the toughest competition. Reeltown (4-0, 2-0 Class 2A Region 4) has beaten its four opponents by a combined score of 15814, but those opponents have a combined four victories and two of those wins come against each other. This week will be a different story, though. The Rebels head home for the first time this season, and they’ll play host to LaFayette, which is ranked No. 9 in Class 2A by the Alabama Sports Writers Association. “This will be our biggest test,” Rebel coach Matt Johnson said. “It’s our first home game, so that’ll be huge for us, but they’re a different opponent.” While LaFayette’s 1-2 (0-1) doesn’t jump off the page, the Bulldogs are in the exact opposite from the Rebels as they’ve played the likes of Thorsby and Lanett, which are both in the top 10 of their respective classes. But both of those teams handed the Bulldogs a loss. Although Reeltown understands the implications this game could have, the Rebels aren’t preparing any differently than they did for their first four contests.

Reeltown will see the return of Cameron Faison this week.
“At this point with LaFayette coming in, you don’t have to tell your kids what’s on the line,” Johnson said. “If I have to tell our players what this game means, then we’re in trouble anyway. But we’re not changing our approach, we’re looking at it like we have to do what we can to control what we can and keep getting better every play. We don’t want to have someone make us react.” The toughest part about preparing for LaFayette is how multiple it is. Both offensively and defensively, the Bulldogs present multiple formations and fronts.
Defensively, Reeltown expects to see both a three-man and a four-man front. “They send a lot of pressure, they’re very sound and very disciplined defensively,” Johnson said. “They’re decent sized too. (Julius Bullard) is a heck of a ballplayer, but mainly they’re extremely athletic and fly to the football. (Jaquavian Boston-Gaines) is an edge rusher, outside linebacker type, and he’s extremely athletic.” Offensively, LaFayette is led by quarterback Jaelin McCurdy. “They’ll spread out and run some tight
end stuff, but they also have some two-back formations,” Johnson said. “They run a whole bunch of (run-pass options), so they mix it up. They have some really good stuff offensively that makes you have to play extremely sound defensively. They’re good at getting out in space and creating one-onone matchups.” Luckily for the Rebels, they should see the return of running back Cameron Faison, who missed last week’s game due to an injury. Receiver/linebacker Eric Shaw was pulled from last week’s game midway through the second quarter with a muscle strain, and Johnson said he’s day to day. “Having Cam back will help out a lot,” Johnson said. Because of their lopsided scores, the Rebels have also gotten some good playing time out of their younger guys. Johnny Brown led the second string with a touchdown last week, and having so much experience has led to some depth for the Rebels. Johnson also said the offensive linemen are improving each week. “Landon Kelley is starting to come along, and Robert Langston is starting to figure it out a little better too,” Johnson said. As Reeltown is defined by its running game, the Rebels will look to get Faison and Keke Hughley going early and establish a strong rushing attack against the Bulldogs. “I think we’ve gotta do what we do offensively,” Johnson said. “We have got to be able to run the ball, and we’ve got to be able to handle the pressure that they put on our defense. We’ve gotta limit big plays.”

“I think we came out a little nervous in the first set so I was proud that our girls were able to keep their cool and stick with it,” Rigsby said. “A lot of teams would fold after that first set beatdown.” The Tigers responded well and took their first lead of the match after scoring two of the first three points in the second set. The two teams traded blows but Tallassee stayed close and took an 11-8 lead after four straight points with Sally Shipman serving. Unfortunately for the home fans, that lead was quickly erased when St. James responded with a 6-1 run to retake the lead. The Trojans did not surrender the lead again and won the second set 25-18.
“I want my team to play teams like that because playing good-caliber teams is going to make you better,” Rigsby said. “It really made us step up and our level of play definitely got better today. That’s what we can take from it as a positive.” In the final set, the Tigers took a 2-0 lead but St. James would once again erased the deficit. There were several long rallies during the set but Tallassee could not find a spot on the court to get the ball down against the St. James defense. “You want to be the team to put a ball down but I’d much rather see rallies,” Rigsby said. “It was good to see because we weren’t getting those rallies in the first set. We were
making them work for points instead of handing it to them.” Setter Kayla Jolly said she was impressed with the defensive improvements the Tigers made throughout the match. Rigsby said that will be the team’s strength this season and outlasting opponents will be a key to success. The first three matches of the season were against area teams and despite the loss to the area favorites, Rigsby believes her team is in a good position early in the season. “Area is all based on seeding and so far, so good,” Rigsby said. “We’re 2-1 and I’m still proud of them because it’s going to be tough for anyone in our area to beat St. James.”

Both teams were pink on their uniforms while Stanhope wore jerseys with “Together We Are Stronger” written on the front. Donations were accepted at a table at the front of the gym. According to Barber, the game raised $337, which would be split between the three families. “We do a pink out game with Tallassee in October,” Barber said. “So, when we found out we had all of this going on, we asked if they would help us out this year on our end.” After the pre-match events, there was still volleyball to be played and Stanhope got off to a quick start. The Mustangs took the first set 25-17 without ever trailing. Tallassee responded with a dominant performance in the second set. After rallies resulted in several lead changes, the visitors held a 12-10 lead on a kill by

points, including two kills from Gabbi Taylor. Stanhope Elmore finished off the match, winning the set 15-10. “I was just out there trying to keep my team up out there,” Taylor said, “trying

to keep the energy going so we could win as a team.” The match was the first of three matches for Stanhope during homecoming week. The Mustangs improved to 5-1 on the season with the victory. “It’s a busy week with homecoming activities and different things going on,” Barber said. “So, we just have to stay focused when we get on the court.” Lotte Preusser led the Mustangs with 11 kills, including two in the final set. White was the team’s leading server, connecting on all 17 service attempts. Alisson Evans led the team with four blocks to go along with four kills. The loss dropped Tallassee to 2-2 on the season. Jordan Walters finished with a team-high five kills and had two aces for the Tigers.
Nick Saban team. A 27.8-point margin of victory record was set by the 2012 Crimson Tide. Alabama has seemingly found a cheat code for its offense with Tua Tagovailoa. The sophomore is one of the favorites for this year’s Heisman Trophy and has been nearly perfect to start the season. His 72 percent pass accuracy is already the highest for any Alabama quarterback with at least 50 pass attempts in a single season. He has had the help of a receiving core led by Jerry Jeudy. He already has six receiving touchdowns, which is the most by an Alabama receiver in the first three games of the season. In fact, during Amari Cooper’s record-setting, 16-touchdown season, he never had a three-game span with six receiving touchdowns. With the success of the air attack, the Tide have not had to rely on their rushing attack as much but that does not mean the backs are slacking off. Leading rushers Najee Harris and Damien Harris have combined to average 7.1 yards per carry. Their average is currently higher than Saban’s best backfield duo of T.J. Yeldon and Kenyan Drake, who averaged 6.5 yards per carry in 2013. Defensively, the Crimson Tide have forced two turnovers per game. That ranks second among Saban-coached teams in Tuscaloosa, just behind the 2.2 per game that the 2009 team forced. And that squad was Saban’s

only undefeated team in his coaching career. It does not matter which of Saban’s teams is the best but there is still one thing Alabama hasn’t reached during his 12-year tenure: a 15-0 season. Since the College Football Playoff was introduced, an extra game was added for a team to win a national championship. Alabama has gone 14-1 in both seasons when it won the playoff. No NCAA FBS Division I-A team has ever gone 15-0 in the history of college football. As with every season, Alabama will likely find its biggest challenges in November with games against LSU and Auburn. Those are two defenses that could provide enough problems with their pass rush to disrupt this terrifying offense. However, with the start the Crimson Tide have had, it would not be crazy to think this is the year we see history being made. Almost every aspect of this team appears to be setting a new record for the Saban era. Last week, Alabama posted a 62-7 win in a stadium that had given Saban teams of the past plenty of troubles. There is something different about this year’s team. If you’re an Alabama fan, enjoy it. If you’re not, maybe you should start watching some baseball instead.

Bark in the Park draws hundreds of dogs, pet owners By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Staff Writer
The Humane Society of Elmore County held its 13th annual Bark in the Park celebration at Fort Toulouse Sunday afternoon. Humane society executive director Rea Cord said Bark in the Park was a celebration of the love between a dog and his or her owner. “We’re here to celebrate that bond that we all have with the pets that we think so much of,” Cord said. “Many of these pets are adopted, and that’s always neat, or they’re adopted from other groups or other shelters, or they come from somewhere else. As long as they love them, that’s all we care about it. The event featured a “Blessing of the Pets,” by Rev. Bob Henderson from Trinity Episcopal Church, a “Pup Parade,” several dog contests and a variety of vendors. Cord said visitors also had the opportunity to adopt a dog or have their pets microchipped. Cord said Bark in the Park typically has a high number of attendees, and 500-700 people turned out for this
year’s event. “There are lots of familiar faces, but we love the new faces, too. It’s just always a good event,” Cord said. “I think a lot of people look forward to it every year. For a large chunk of folks at this event, they come every year. They put it on their calendar and they don’t miss it, because they thoroughly enjoy bringing their dogs out. Or they just come out to see all the dogs.” Andalusia resident Alicia Vines said she and her dog Ellie traveled more than an hour to attend Bark in the Park. “Anything I hear of that we can do together, we do it,” Vines said. Vines said she admired her surroundings at Fort Toulouse. “I liked the atmosphere, with the river and the trees and the moss,” Vines said. She said she enjoyed showing off Ellie in the Pup Parade, where Ellie received lots of compliments on her fluffy, white fur. “She always does,” Vines said. “And kids always want to pet her.” Redland Elementary School thirdgrader Gracie Garrison said she was

“forced” to go by her mom, but ended up having a great time. “We adopted a dog today,” Gracie said. “It’s been so much fun that I want to scream.”
The dog was named Milo by the shelter, but she said they planned to rename him once they got home. She also said she enjoyed eating ice cream before lunch at the event.

Week 3 — Sept. 28 This week’s Alabama Sports Writers Association high school football rankings:
Battles said the team’s problems in that game could be fixed. “A lot of the things we did against Greenville were self-inflicted,” Battles said. “We didn’t play real well and had some stuff that was uncharacteristic of us. Hopefully, we don’t make those same mistakes. That’s what we take away from it. If we do what we’re supposed to do, we could make the outcome different.” Tallassee’s loss to Greenville was its first home loss since 2016, ending an eight-game winning streak in front of the home crowd. Friday’s game will give the Tigers a chance to start a new streak but Battles said the team is not thinking about that. “We want to win home and away,” Battles said. “None of that matters to us. If it happens to be at home, that’s great but if it’s not, we still want to win.” With almost half of the regular season gone already, Battles said the team has to use every bit of its practice time. With a non-region game this week and a bye week on the horizon, the Tigers can make a big stride to improve before the end of the season. “It’s hard to believe but it’s already Week 5 of the season so we can’t waste anything,” Battles said. “We have to make the most of all of the time we have on the field.”

couldn’t have been prouder of the way he played that night.” Buck’s performance led the Bulldogs to their first region win since 2013, ending a 29-game losing streak against

region foes. Buck said he always has nerves before a football game but his teammates helped keep him calm before the game began. Buck said it did not take long to find some confidence
once he hit the field. The sophomore connected with Drew Nobles for a 65-yard pass down the home sideline early in the game. Buck said seeing the crowd fired up helped him perform the way he did. “We have a really great fanbase and they just kept encouraging me,” Buck said. “And it’s a good feeling when you have teammates catching the passes to help you out.” Nobles was one of four receivers to catch a touchdown pass from Buck. JaDarius Carter and JaDerrick Carter each had one while Peyton Cox added a 21-yard score. “He made some good throws and his teammates were making the catches for him and that was huge,” Franklin said. “The other team was trying to bring pressure but Braxton was able to put the ball where his guys can catch it and they did. He made some plays early and the confidence level was high. They trusted him.” Buck has seen playing time in every game this season but the game against
Childersburg was his first career start for varsity. This season, Buck has completed 62.5 percent of his passes for 299 yards with six touchdowns and zero interceptions. The Bulldogs had not scored 35 points in a region game since their 2011 win over Childersburg. Buck said the team played well as a whole, giving credit to the offensive line and the coaching staff as well. However, Franklin knew Buck was at the center of that offensive success. “He led our team and had great poise all night,” Franklin said. “I never saw him get rattled. We were able to move the ball well and put some points on the board.” With Baker’s status still being unknown, the Bulldogs continue to prepare Buck for more playing time. Holtville travels to Elmore County this week in attempt to end a seven-game losing streak in the rivalry. And if Buck’s first start was any indication, he’s ready to start a new chapter for Holtville football.
