Schools plan for use of sales tax funds By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

Tallapoosa County Schools Superintendent Joe Windle knows what he must do with the lion’s share of money he receives from the additional 1 percent sales tax. The main reason Windle asked the Tallapoosa County Commission for the increase was to allow the county school system to meet the State Department of Education’s requirement for a reserve

fund equal to one month of its operating expenses. The Tallapoosa County Commissioners approved the tax by a 3-2 vote on May 11. The tax plan was supported and pushed by Windle, who was hoping that the funds would help return the system to the black as well as allow for several capital projects. Commissioners T.C. Coley, Emma Jean Thweatt and George Carleton Jr. all voted in favor of the tax, while com-

missioners John McKelvey and Steve Robinson voted no to the proposal. The resolution approved by the commissioners included a three-year provision where the Tallapoosa County Schools must work towards a property tax referendum to add a more stable source of funds. The tax began being collected from consumers on Monday. Windle said Wednesday that one month’s operating expenses for Tallapoosa County Schools equals

Dadeville Elementary School teacher Teresa Brunetti may have finally found a home for her and her family after the support she received following a lung cancer diagnosis almost a year ago. “I am a military brat,” Brunetti explained. “I have lived a lot of different places, but never felt the kind of support I received here in this community.” Brunetti, known as Netti by most of her students, explained the military lifestyle she experienced growing up. “Once you are part of a military family, after a couple years you think – OK, where do I go next,” Brunetti said. Brunetti might have been wondering where the next stop was going to be but was slowed down a little following a bout with lung cancer. “I had numbness and tingling in my fingers,” See TEACHER, Page A5

Brunetti was diagnosed with lung cancer almost a year ago. After a partial lung removal, Brunetti had to leave school again for chemo and radiation after cancer was found in her lymph nodes. The school rallied around her and her story served as motivation for students.

The Union and Reeltown Volunteer Fire Departments are hoping a new class at Reeltown High School leads to new cadets for their departments. “The idea came from the Union Fire Department,” Reeltown Fire Department Assistant Chief Pete Mastin said. “We are right here on the school’s campus, so there is no travel, and no school bus involved. We presented it to principal Tom Cocharan and he was excited about the addition to the health class.” “We wanted to show the students what all the fire department is about, not what they think it is See TRAINING, Page A10

He added that the county school system will likely collect approximately $1.2 million from the additional sales tax and, over the next two years, commit between $700,000 and $800,000 each year toward building its reserves. “That will obviously be our first priority, building that reserve to the point the state requires,” said Windle. “We probably will try to put at least $700,000

Amtech and the Lake Martin Community Hospital, designated as pacesetters for Lake Martin Area United Way’s annual campaign, have both seen employees greet the annual fundraiser with giving attitudes. As pacesetters, the companies’ job was to jumpstart the Lake Martin Area Untied Way’s fall campaign by agreeing to run their own workplace campaigns early and report their results at the campaign kick-off. Both Amtech and Lake Martin Community Hospital had campaign goals of $10,000. As of Tuesday, AmTech employees had pledged

Keeping it simple

Mark Tuggle unsure of future, won’t rule out another office By David Granger Record Staff Writer

When Mark Tuggle said last week that he wouldn’t run for reelection when his term as District 81’s representative in the Alabama House of Representatives ends in 2018, he started a lot of speculation. Why would a young man – Tuggle is only 50 – bow out of the state House after only two terms? When he went public last week at the quarterly meeting of the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce, Tuggle cited his belief in term limits. He reiterated that belief on Friday. “It’s real simple,” Tuggle said. “Sometimes I believe people lose track of the simplicity. I don’t know how else to say it. I believe in term limits. I know that some believe the voters should set the term limits and I understand that philosophy. But, for me, I think two four-year terms is right.” Tuggle won his initial term as the representative for District 81 in 2010. He defeated Shane Grimes in the Republican primary and then bested Democratic incumbent Betty Carol Graham, winning 56 percent of the vote to Graham’s 44 percent. Tuggle won reelection in 2014, easily defeating Democrat Dylan V. Oliver with 67 percent of the vote. In the 2015 legislative session, Tuggle served as chair of the State Government committee and was a member of the Internal Affairs and Ways and Means Education committees. Tuggle said that

word of his announcement began to filter out among his colleagues in Montgomery on Friday. “I think it’s starting to get out,” said Tuggle, who traveled to the beach this past weekend to celebrate his wife, Michelle’s, birthday. “I’ve gotten a few texts. Some of them were surprised and some of them weren’t. I think they may have been most surprised to see it come out so far ahead of the end of my term.” As to what’s next for him, Tuggle said he really hasn’t begun to think a lot about it. “Again, I’ve got three years left in my term, so I have some time,” Tuggle said. “But, yeah, another public office is certainly a possibility, be it in the Alabama Senate or some other office. “There are some things – some offices – I’ve thought about, but, right now, they’re occupied by friends of mine. I’m not going to run against a friend. That’s not me. It would have to be the right opponent at the right time. That said, if the right opportunity arises, further public office is definitely still on the table.” Tuggle also said it’s possible that he would quietly return to his forestry business. “I’ve been a forester for 26 years and it’s something that I really enjoy,” Tuggle said. “Is it possible that I would just do that? Sure. That’s a distinct possibility. At this point, there are a lot of possibilities.” Tuggle said another possibility he has entertained is going back to his college alma mater, Auburn University, as an instructor in the

School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences. Currently, his daughter, Dee, is a student at Auburn where she is a member of the Auburn University Marching Band’s flag line. “I’ve definitely thought about the possibility of going back to Auburn as a forestry instructor,” Tuggle said. “I have 26 years in the business and a lot that I feel like I could share. That has certainly entered my thought processes.” Wherever he ends up and whatever he ends up doing, Tuggle says serving House District 81 will always be one of the greatest honors of his life. “I don’t have any regrets,” Tuggle said. “So far, this has been one of the greatest adventures of my life. Every time I walk into that chamber, I feel a sense of honor and duty that few ever get to experience. It’s humbling.” Finally, Tuggle says he will always feel a sense of duty to House District 81. “I love my district. The people here elected me twice,” Tuggle said. “That’s a lot of trust. I’ll do anything I can do for my district whether I’m in (the Legislature) or not.”

Sept. is National Preparedness Month By Corey Arwood Record Staff Writer

September is National Preparedness Month, and that means gearing up for peak hurricane season and any other unpleasant surprise, natural or man made, that might lie in wait along the way. The Emergency Management Agency of Tallapoosa County wants residents to be ready. Jason Moran, director of the county EMA, said this month’s efforts are all about “trying to make the public more aware of the importance of preplanning.” Moran said that, lying so far inland, the primary concerns for Tallapoosa County residents during hurricane season are heavy rains and winds that could bring down trees and power lines. To remedy this, Moran said to invest in back-up emergency power and to test generators. The theme of this year’s National Preparedness Month is “Don’t Wait. Communicate. Make Your Emergency Plan Today.” The month will be broken down into weeks and focused on themes of common emergency scenarios. This week’s theme is flood, next week is wildfire, following that

hurricane, and finally, power outage. Moran said that his desire is for everyone in the county to have an emergency plan that will cover all these incidents. To accomplish this, he said that each family should have a kit that contains essential goods per person, adequate for at least 72 hours. He advised that the basics of the kit should include water, nonperishable food, a weather radio, a flashlight and extra batteries. A firstaid kit and any medications should be accounted for and he said the family pet should be

included in any plan as well. For further information on emergency preparedness and planning, Moran said to call the Tallapoosa County EMA at (256) 825-1078 or anyone can come by their office in rooms 9 and 16 at the Tallapoosa County Courthouse.

Respect alone should have taken care of saggy pants

ews that the Dadeville City Council will be exploring an ordinance to ban the practice of men wearing their pants below their hips, thus exposing their underwear, was met with quite a stir on The Outlook’s website as well as on social media. This is an issue that has been addressed by municipalities and in courtrooms across the nation. While some call it a fashion trend that is no different than wearing camouflage or ripped jeans, others call “sagging” indecent exposure and an insult to others who are forced to look at undergarments or exposed skin. Instead of jumping on a soapbox one way or another, we yield to the Oval Office. When the name of President Barack Obama is mentioned, it too sparks varying reactions, much like sagging pants. But in this case, it’s hard to argue with the Commander in Chief’s comments regarding the practice. “Here’s my attitude: I think passing a law about people wearing sagging pants is a waste of time,” Obama said in a 2013 interview. “We should be focused on creating jobs, improving our schools, getting health care, dealing with the war in Iraq. Any public official who is worrying about sagging pants probably needs to spend some time focusing on real problems out there. “Having said that, brothers should pull up their pants. You’re walking by your mother, your grandmother, and your underwear is showing. … What’s wrong with that? Come on. There are some issues that we face that you don’t have to pass a law [against], but that doesn’t mean folks can’t have some sense and some respect for other people. And, you know, some people might not want to see your underwear — I’m one of them.” Obama also said that employers who ban sagging pants or similarly provocative fashions in the workplace are well within their rights. It’s a shame that laws are needed for this kind of thing. It’s a greater shame that respect alone for one’s self – and for others – doesn’t take care of the problem.

Editorial Our Some dogs chase the mailman, Mission mine apparently eat the mail instead

hursday Mary Lyman and I went to Birmingham meet my brother and his wife and my mother for her 77th birthday party at Chuy’s, which is one of her favorite restaurants. Mary Lyman and I left from Alexander City around 3:30 p.m. so we could arrive at the appointed party hour: 5 p.m. You all know what driving on Highway 280 in Birmingham is like around quittin’ time. It was like that Thursday. We feed our two dogs around 6 p.m. each night. I know that fact seems a bit out of place here in the story, but it will become important later. The birthday party was a success, everybody had a good time, the meal was good and the tres leches birthday cake was good enough to wind up being a new birthday tradition. Mary Lyman and I drove back to Alexander City, arriving around 8:30 p.m. It was dark, but as we pulled into the driveway, we saw something rather large and unusually light colored out in the yard. We got out of the car and walked to the strange object and cut on our phones to shine down into the grass. We found a cardboard

KENNETH BOONE Publisher

shipping box from the Fussy company, the top opened rather neatly. And a cardboard gift box, also opened neatly. And a whole bunch of crinkly, festive packing material spread around the yard and a black raffia ribbon, slightly gnawed. The dogs had stepped back a few yards, watching us in the dark. There was a mixed tension in the air. We could hear that we’re-so-happy-your-home panting, but they weren’t rushing up to greet us. We rooted around and couldn’t find anything that came in the boxes. We couldn’t find a return address. We stood there in the dark talking. “Did you order anything?” she asked. “No. Did you?” “I wonder if it’s the seat cover I ordered? I don’t think it could fit in that little box,” I said. So we bend over and extended the iPhone flashlight search. That’s when we saw

the small white piece of paper bearing the words: “The team at East Alabama Powersports, LLC appreciates you! Enjoy your cookies!” We both whirled around and looked at the dogs. They stood in the dark, panting. We couldn’t tell if they had the decency to meet our gaze or whether they were looking away, trying to whistle nonchalantly. Mary Lyman and I burst into laughter. “Looks like somebody enjoyed the cookies,” I said. There was no sign of a dog scuffle, and if there was crumb left, it was too small for a mouse. I imagine after the delivery service left the box by our front door, they both picked up a corner and dog-trotted out into the yard, where they sat down facing each other with the box between them, and took careful turns gnawing through first the shipping box, then the gift box, then both grabbing the loose ends of the black raffia bow and like Lady and the Tramp eating spaghetti. There was no sign of the cookie container, I assume that will appear this weekend in the same yard. Boone is publisher of The Record.

Of course, none of this is an exact science, but it’s not too far off. I’m getting old; there’s no getting around it. When I was a baby, Richard Nixon was president. When I was a baby, The Godfather was still in theaters. When I was a baby, Auburn beat Alabama in a game simply known as “Punt Bama Punt.” At 43, I’m a middle-aged man, and I have the five-gallon buckets to prove it. I also have the gray hair, although not as much as I had last night, because I spent half the night in front of the bathroom mirror plucking many of those unwanted gray hairs. When one’s hair is as short as mine, it can be challenging to pluck the right one. So, for every gray hair I plucked, I plucked four good hairs. Now I have a bald spot on the side of my head and need to get to the barbershop at some point to get all that straightened out. I actually enjoy hanging out in the barbershop. I think that’s another sign of getting old. When I look amongst my best friends, who are

JODY FULLER Columnist

all roughly the same age as me, I realize that it could be worse. One has had gray hair for 20 years. There is another one who is bald. Then, there is another who is gray and bald. Oh, and one of them is a Bama fan. For years, there has been very little programming on TV worth watching, so like most old guys, I watch the weather and re-runs of The Andy Griffith Show; however, I’ve recently discovered two incredible shows on CBS starring Mark Harmon and Tom Selleck. The shows have been airing since 2003 and 2010, respectively. Where have I been? I also have a fondness for keeping Cool-Whip bowls, but that’s about it. Someone recently gave me several empty name brand butter bowls, and, although I was grateful, I could only look at the label and say, “I can’t believe it’s not…Cool-Whip.” I’m strictly a Cool-Whip bowl kind of guy. I’m loyal to the end. This trait was no doubt passed down from my grandparents who lived in Elder, a suburb of Dadeville. There are, however, some things about my grandparents

and getting old that would suggest that I’m still young at heart. For example, nowhere in my home is there a jar of salve. Old people love salve. It’s the cure-all for everything. I can’t tell you the last time I ate a circus peanut, and I’m certainly no fan of pear salad: pear, mayonnaise, cheese, and a cherry. Who thought that was a good idea? I’m surprised they didn’t put salve on it. Also, I’ve never asked anyone to “jiggle the handle.” I kid about getting old. I graduated from Opelika High School 25 years ago, and, sadly, there are about 20 classmates that are no longer with us. At 43, I feel better than ever, and am grateful to God for each day. My hair turning gray is simply a sign of maturity, and I’m fine with that. I need all the maturity I can get, but when I start craving buttermilk and cornbread in a glass each night for a late night snack, just go ahead and take me to the car dealership the next day to buy a Buick. That’s when you know you’re getting old. Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq. He is also a lifetime stutterer.

The Dadeville Record

Cliff Williams / The Outlook

Teresa Brunetti leads her class through vocabulary words recently at Dadeville Elementary School.

Teacher Brunetti said. “I had shortness of breath in just about everything I did. I was thinking I was having immune system issues. I was just really fatigued.” Brunetti was seeing a local pulmonologist. “They could see a spot but did not think it was cancer,” Brunetti said. “They did the scans and other stuff too.” It was the encouragement of a co-worker that led Brunetti to get a second opinion. “A teacher down the hallway said to just go over to Cancer Centers of America and see if they can figure out what is going on,” Brunetti explained. “It took them a couple of days, but they came back that it was lung cancer. It was a surprise because my mother died of it when I was young. She smoked and I never did.” That was October of 2014 and Brunetti soon had surgery. “They did surgery and removed the lower part of my lung followed by chemo and radiation.” Brunetti started seeing the support of the community. “The students and faculty were concerned when I went in for surgery about a year ago,” Brunetti said. It was not long and Brunetti was back to teaching, but then got some not so good news on a follow-up visit. “Six months later they found cancer in my lymph nodes,” Brunetti said. “We started making plans for another round of chemo and radiation.” That is when everyone at Dadeville Elementary came together. The outpouring of support spilled into a YouTube video made by Dadeville Elementary School principal Chad McKelvey. Called Netti Strong that featured almost everyone at the school from students to faculty to staff. “We had seen how instrumental a video could be to send a message to kids,” McKelvey explained. “We felt like video would help spread

at checkout continued from page 1

the word of trying to support one of our faculty members and spread it across the school and community and teach a life lesson.” Some said McKelvey was the driving force behind the video “He was like a little kid,” para-professional Lisa Moran said. “Mr. McKelvey was going up and down the halls on her last day here in the spring – checking to make sure she was still in the room working.” On that last day Netti had a sub so that she could catch up on paperwork before she left April 27 for another round of chemo and radiation. “He (McKelvey) called me from across the hall from where I had been working,” Brunetti said. “He came in like a little kid. It was adorable. He said I have something for you to see.” Brunetti and McKelvey then walked across the hall to her room. “There was a slew people just waiting. They showed the video. I was boohooing like a baby,” Brunetti said. The students have used Brunetti’s as a

motivation tool. “They started doing everything for Netti,” Moran said. “If the kids did not want to do something, someone would say, ‘Do it for Netti.’ They really supported Netti. Everyday, the kids asked when is Netti coming back.” The support did not stop on that April day. “They kept sending me notes and videos supporting me,” Brunetti said. “It was really great.” Brunetti is happy to be back teaching, but the staff and students of Dadeville Elementary School are just as happy. “It’s wonderful to have her back,” Moran said. “No one can fill her shoes.” Brunetti says things are now stable. “I go back in October to see where things stand,” Brunetti said. “My scans are stable. It does not appear to be growing or spreading.” The ordeal has made Brunetti rethink the military lifestyle of moving every few years. “There is a lot of support here,” Brunetti said. “I think we are going to end up staying here awhile.”

A day late and dollar short

to be on the best seller list for years ave you ever heard the idiom, “a day late and a dollar short?’ and has survived the test of time. In fact the translation to the English I concluded the meaning was language was made in 1611, over “an individual or event had arrived 400 years ago. The Holy Bible is the too late to be of any real help.” God inspired book. It is an For me, the best example old book, but never too old! of being too late occurred The Bible speaks of two disover 43 years ago. I took tinct groups of people; the every physical education individuals who are saved class available in high school through faith and are going and played on several orgato Heaven and the individunized sports teams, whether als who choose to deny or softball, volleyball or basJackie Wilbourn ignore Jesus Christ and are ketball.

It was not until the he only asks that you come today, just Federal government passed Title IX as you are, and accept his free gift, in 1972 that gave females their civil the gift of eternal life. Take a moment rights that prohibited discrimination in time and ponder the sweet words in education. The law not only broke found in John 3:16. “GOD loved down barriers in sports for women the world so much that HE gave his and girls but it also opened the door ONLY begotten SON that if YOU for girls to pursue math and science.

Pacesetter both Amtech and the Lake Martin Community Hospital, designated as pacesetters for Lake Martin Area United Way’s annual campaign, have both seen employees greet the annual fundraiser with giving attitudes. As pacesetters, the companies’ job was to jumpstart the Lake Martin Area Untied Way’s fall campaign by agreeing to run their own workplace campaigns early and report their results at the campaign kick-off. Both Amtech and Lake Martin Community Hospital had campaign goals of $10,000. As of Tuesday, AmTech employees had pledged $10,372.17. Lake Martin Community Hospital employees had pledged $7,000. Lake Martin Community Hospital got a later start in its campaign. “I still have several employees that I need to reach to discuss United Way’s 2016 campaign with,” said Stacy Deloach, Lake Martin Community Hospital’s human resources director, who is leading its campaign. “When both businesses were asked to serve as Pacesetters, they did not hesitate to say yes and they were so honored to do so,” said Sharon Fuller, executive director of Lake Martin Area United Way. “I have heard testimonies from employees of both businesses of times they had to ask for help and were so glad United Way agencies were there to help. “I personally love going into the businesses and sharing the good things all the 26 agencies do. I was able to bring in a few of the agencies at some of the meetings for (the

continued from page 1

agencies) to share as well. We live in a very giving community and feel sure that, with the pacesetters’ great start, others will follow suit. But it takes everyone working together and giving to make our goal.” Mallory Padgett, director of human resources at Amtech, led its campaign. She said Amtech has supported the United Way campaign for more than 10 years but has increased employee participation over the last 3 years. “Once we were asked to become a pacesetter, we decided to take a look at our numbers from last year, which were roughly around $8,700, and set our goal for the upcoming year at $10,000,” Padgett said. “Sharon and her staff came out to Amtech on Aug. 12 to talk about United Way and how it worked. What we were really excited about was the guest that they brought with them – Jimmy Harmon, the director of the Tallapoosa County Girl’s Ranch. Jimmy was an amazing speaker. If I must name a turning point in our campaign, it was definitely the moment they heard Jimmy’s stories about some of the girls at The Ranch. He definitely left some of us in tears. “Once the presentation was over, we had an overwhelming amount of support begin for such a great cause. The employees were then asked to complete a pledge card over the next week and we strongly encouraged all of our participants to pledge their fair share. A fair share is equal to 1 hours pay per month for a total of a 12-month period.” Deloach said Lake Martin Community

The Dadeville Record

Hospital has been a part of the Lake Martin Area United Way campaign for five years now. “Sharon (Fuller) has been at some of our departmental meetings to discuss the campaign and what United Way is,” said Deloach. “As for the rest of the employees, I have been talking to them on a one-on-one basis or by office locations, trying to catch their slow times and even dropping in at different shifts. Almost everyone I have met with has been very enthusiastic and willing to help out where they can. They have all been very open to hearing about United Way and learning about what all they do for our community. It has been a great response.” At Amtech, Padgett said they have events planned to reward those who have participated in their campaign. “We plan to have a giveaway on Sept. 9 and any participant that pledged their fair share will be eligible to win one of 24 different prizes,” Padgett said. “Also, to add a little fun to the mix, every employee that pledged to give a fair share will enjoy getting their car washed by the members of our Senior Leadership Team here at Amtech.” The Lake Martin Area United Way needs your support to reach its campaign goal and help the 26 agencies it supports. You can send your donation to Lake Martin Area United Way, P.O. Box 876, Alexander City, AL 35011 or give at their office at 17-B Main Street in Alexander City. For more information, contact them at 256-3293600.

to $800,000 aside the first two years for that purpose. With what we have left, we’ll look at taking on some smaller projects.” Among the smaller projects Windle mentioned was replacement of carpet in about 25 classrooms at Horseshoe Bend. “We’ve replaced the carpet in a few of them already,” Windle said. “But we still have about 24 or 25 that have their original carpet. We want to replace that with VC (vinyl composition) tile. We’ll schedule replacement in about 5-7 of the rooms per year until we knock them out over a 2-3 year period.” Windle said he would also like to use a portion of the money to replace the roof over the welding and industrial technology shops at Edward Bell Technical Center and renovate the bathrooms in the old, original part of Dadeville Elementary School. “Our bathrooms in the new part of the school are fine,” Windle said. “But those in the old portion have been there since it was built in 1977 and they’re in terrible shape.” Windle said that once the State’s reserve requirements have been met, the system will likely begin to let bids for larger projects, including a new bandroom and gymnasium at Reeltown, an upgrade to the gymnasium at Dadeville, system-wide technology upgrades and systemwide camera upgrades in its security systems. Alexander City consumers will now face a 10 percent sales tax, making it among the highest sales taxes in the state. In unincorporated Tallapoosa County, the 1 percent increase will raise the tax to 6 percent. Camp Hill and Dadeville residents will see sales tax rise to 9.5 percent, while Jackson’s Gap and New Site will increase to 9 percent.

Reeltown Fire Department adopts plan for fire service billing By Griffin Pritchard Record Staff Writer

The Reeltown Volunteer Fire Department last month adopted a resolution to bill for fire protection services. “We’ve always mailed bills to the insurance companies,” said Joe Neal Gober, immediate past chief of the Reeltown Fire Department. “But we’d get very few payments back. The insurance companies would avoid us and give the money straight to the homeowner.” Reeltown Fire has elected to go with Huntsville-based Covenant Solutions Inc. According to their website – www. csrevenue.com -- the company specializes in “recovering incident response cost for services provided by fire departments and rescue squads through ‘non tax based’ revenue reimbursement sources.” “They are a Christian-based group of people and they go after the insurance companies,” said Alan Milam, current chief. “We weren’t wanting anyone to go out there and strong-arm our community.” According to the resolution, which went into affect Aug. 1: “The Reeltown Volunteer Fire Department hereby adopts billing responses to and / or recovery from minor and major emergencies and disasters requiring purchases to replace supplies, periodic and scheduled maintenance of apparatus, fuel purchases, rehabilitation supplies, repair and / or replacement of protection gear and equipment required by the Reeltown Volunteer Fire Department, OSHA, NFPA and /or other associated guidance.” Reeltown Fire averages around 26 volunteers and services an estimated 1,200 homes and has mutual aide agreements with surrounding fire agencies. With all that, the department has received an ISO rating of 5. “That affects how much money (insurance companies) are collecting and the water boards are working to put in more fire hydrants,” Milam said. As of August, a few more than 400 residents have paid the annual $50 fire

service charge. “The engine and the tanker, anytime they run, it’s not like cranking your car and driving down the road,” Milam said. “It’s a big diesel engine and it weighs a lot. So you’re talking about two or three miles to the gallon. It’s expensive. I know fuel prices are down. It costs $600 to do a service on it.” He went on to say that given the cost of fuel and wear and tear on the service vehicle, costs average around $200 for an hour when on the scene of a fire or a wreck. Milam and Gober both said that Reeltown Fire had attempted to do billing on their own. “If we get $250, that’s more than we’ve been getting,” Gober said. Milam added: “Insurance companies would either A) ignore our bills or B) send it to the property owner and the owner spend it without knowing it was supposed to come back to (RVFD).” “We are a volunteer organization and we don’t receive any tax money,” Milam said. “We are not receiving any kind of funding that gives us a regular income. We depend on dues and on fundraising to keep it going. The people paying their dues are the same ones buying the barbecue tickets and tickets to the steak dinners.” The resolution went into effect Aug. 1. The resolution reads: “The contracted cost recovery provider is hereby directed to bill for services provided for highway/road vehicle crash responses, extrication services, landing zone services, rescue services, fire suppression services, hazardous materials services, roadway cleanup/mitigation services and other services or expenses, as directed by the implementation of this foregoing policy.” “We have a well-trained fire department,” Milam said. “We’ve got some very generous people in this community. I don’t think people realize how much of a key role we play, not just in terms of fire safety, but in how (fire departments) can affect your pocketbook.”

Reeltown student Cody Martin practices CPR Tuesday at the Reeltown Volunteer Fire Department. Martin is taking an EMR class in an elective slot at Reeltown High School

Training about,” Union VFD EMS Officer Cecelia Johnson said. “All in an effort to see if it will help with recruiting volunteers, especially in the younger generation.” The students appear to be liking what they are doing in the class. “This is more in-depth,” student Jasmine Blackmon said. “This is more hands-on,” Reeltown student Cody Martin said. “In health, we talk about the body and its parts. Over here, we learn how to save people’s lives. We just got CPR certified last week.” The class is the first one on the way to becoming a firefighter or EMS. “At the end of the class, those who are 18 can take a test to become EMR certified,” Mastin said. “This course is mandatory before the fire fighter one course.” The class is paying dividends for the department already. “We have two cadets between the Union and Reeltown departments in the class,” Johnson said. “We might have a third.” The class started at the beginning of the school year and finishes in December with another group of students walking to the Reeltown Fire Department in Jan. All in the effort to start a different class next school year. “We hope that we can start the fire fighting one class here next year,” Mastin

continued from page 1

said. Both Mastin and Johnson hope the effort encourages a younger generation of volunteers. “Traditionally, younger volunteers come from parents who are involved in volunteer departments,” Mastin said. “We have got to keep the interest going, Johnson said. “We cannot do this forever. We want to get them interested while they are in school. When they realize what it is, it spurs more inter-

est but it goes both ways. They may discover it’s not for them.” The class is doing one thing for sure – training people to be able to help others even if they do not join the department or get certified. “The students, regardless of if they take the EMR test, will be better able to render aid until more trained help arrives.” Mastin said. “If anybody needs help, we will be ready,” Martin said.

TRENCH WARFARE Battle on the line to play big role in Dadeville vs. Beauregard

Reeltown ready to open region play at LaFayette By Robert Hudson Record Sports Editor

The Class 2A No. 8 Reeltown Rebels will open area play on the road Friday, as they will travel to face the LaFayette Bulldogs. Reeltown (1-1) will enter Friday’s game looking to bounce back from last week’s 40-13 loss to rival Dadeville, while Layette (1-0) will enter coming off a 39-22 seasonopening win over Loachapoka. Reeltown Coach Jackie O’Neal said the Rebels want to start region play with a win in order to maintain control of their postseason destiny. “It’s always important to get off on the right foot in region play because you don’t want to start off in the loss column,” O’Neal said. “That makes you have to depend on too many other people. You want to take care of business when you’ve got the opportunity to, and you don’t want to put your playoff positioning in someone else’s hands.” In order to get the win after last week’s first loss of the season, O’Neal said the Rebels will have to clear up the self-inflicted mistakes, as penalties and a turnover in the red zone doomed Reeltown against Dadeville. “Well, we’ve got to stop being our own worst enemy. That’s what a lot of the problem was last week,” O’Neal said. “We played a very good ball club, but we were too generous. We’ve got to eliminate that and eliminate the stupid penalties.” Both teams will be much the same as their 2014 counterparts, as Reeltown will look to establish the run and O’Neal expects the Bulldogs to rely on the spread offense. “They’re basically like they were last year. They’re going to run the spread,” O’Neal said. “They’ve got athletes and they’re going to try and spread you out to get them in space. What we’ve got to do is go up there with our minds set on Reeltown getting better. And we’ve got to do things better the way that we usually do it, and if we do that, everything will take care of itself.”

Dadeville’s JaMichael Cox (77) wraps up Reeltown’s Zach Lyles (33) during last Thursday night’s game in Reeltown. Dadeville Coach Richard White expects this week’s game against Beauregard to be decided in the trenches.

By Robert Hudson Record Sports Editor

The Class 4A No. 4 Dadeville Tigers will host the Beauregard Hornets in their home opener on Friday at 7 p.m. The Tigers (1-0) enter Friday’s game off a 40-13 win over the rival Reeltown Rebels, while Friday’s game in Dadeville will serve as the season opener for Beauregard. Richard White, head coach of Dadeville, said the Tigers will have to contend with the Hornets’ spread offense and depth on both sides of the line. “They’re a spread team that likes to run the football. They do a lot of the same thing that Auburn University does as far as offense,” White said. “We’re going to have to play well. They’ve got a really good football team. They’ve got three guys that go about 290 (pounds) on their offensive line and they’ve got a couple guys around 245, so they’re pretty big up front. Their defensive line is totally different guys, and what I mean is that their offensive line

plays offense and their defensive line plays defense, so it’s going to be a numbers game.” With the game likely to be decided in the trenches, White said it’s important that the Tigers rotate players in and out and play their gap responsibilities. “We’ve got to keep our kids swapped out as much as we can and keep them hydrated. The size is a concern because they’re really big,” White said. “But we’ve got to prepare and be gap sound in what we do defensively, and we’re going to have to tackle well. We can’t just go out there and arm tackle because they’ve got very good running backs.” And while Dadeville will also enter the game looking to establish the run, White said the Tigers will have to adapt if it’s not working. “We’ve got to set the tone of what we’re trying to do and establish our running game against their big front. And if we can’t, we’re going to have to spread them out to loosen them up and throw the football a little bit,” White said.

“We’ll have to do what we have to on offense to win the ball game.” Another area White highlighted is playing sound on special teams. He said the Tigers gave up too many yards on returns during last week’s season opener against Reeltown. “We’re also going to have to be sound in our kicking game. We can’t have kickoff returns from them get to the 40 and past midfield,” White said. “Punt returns, we have to do the same thing and cover well. We didn’t do a good job with that last week. We let Reeltown’s guy get away from our gunners a couple times and our kickoff team let them return the ball way too far. We’ve got to clean that up.” White said the Tigers will also have to correct the holding penalties on outside runs. “Offensively, we’ve got to quit the holding penalties on our wide receivers. We get people on the edge and get a big gain but it gets called back for a holding call,” White said. “We’ve got to get that fixed.”

No. 4 Dadeville uses early surge to defeat No. 4 Reeltown By Robert Hudson Record Sports Editor

REELTOWN – The Class 4A No. 4 Dadeville Tigers jumped out to a 21-0 lead that was too much to overcome for the Class 2A No. 4 Reeltown Rebels, as the Tigers topped their rivals 40-13 on Thursday at Nix-Webster-O’Neal Stadium. Dadeville (1-0) jumped out to a 7-0 lead early in the first quarter when quarterback ShawnDarius Jennings went in from 3-yards out followed by the Margarius Buchanan extra point. After forcing a Reeltown (1-1) punt, Dadeville capped a drive that started in Reeltown territory with a 40-yard touchdown pass from Jennings to Tyreke Stone pushing the lead to 14-0 with 5:18 left in the first quarter. The Tigers added to their lead early in the second when a Jennings pass went through the hands of teammate Phillip Russell and into the hands of Stone, who raced up the Rebel sideline for a 44-yard score. The point after made it 21-0 with 9:13 left in the first half. Dadeville Coach Richard White said the early start was the big difference between this year’s game and last year’s 7-0 loss. “It was big,” White said. “We struggled in last year’s game offensively and we didn’t make plays, but we made those plays tonight.” Reeltown countered two plays later when senior running back Cody Martin took the sweep up the home sideline for a 67-yard touchdown, as Kiyaski Taylor’s extra point made the score 21-7 with 8:37 left in the second. The Tigers punched right back on the following drive with a 22-yard touchdown run by Kadori Glenn capping off a 44-yard drive and making it a 28-7 game with 6:32 left in the half. The Rebels cut the deficit to 15 before the break when quarterback Takoreyon

Edwards dived into the end zone for a 9-yard touchdown. However, the extra point was blocked by Jennings to make it a 28-13 game with 1:04 left in the second. Reeltown threatened to make it a onescore game with 29 seconds left in the third, driving all the way to the Dadeville 16-yard-line. But a fumble by Reeltown’s Jamon Matthews was recovered by Dadeville’s Trevorous Johnson to end any further threats from the Rebels. Dadeville’s DJ Pearson scored on a 6-yard run in the fourth, and Tiger cornerback Isaiah Hicks returned an interception 52 yards for a touchdown for the final two Dadeville scores of the game. Martin led Reeltown with 140 yards on 20 carries. Jennings went 6-of-13 with 146 yards passing and two touchdowns through the air and one rushing on the night. Stone had three catches for 104 yards and two touchdowns. Reeltown Coach Jackie O’Neal said the Rebels simply did not play up to their standards, and that Dadeville got the big plays when it needed them. “We didn’t play like we expected to play, and it looked like they got every break it was. That’s how it is in games like this. You just wake up tomorrow morning and get ready for the next one,” O’Neal said. “When you play hard, good things happen for you. Both teams played hard and they just had some good things happen for them and we didn’t. That’s part of the game – you don’t cry about that. You play the game when you’ve got time to play it and after that you go on to the next one.” White said he was proud of the way the Tiger defense made adjustments after the halftime break. “Defensively, I thought we played well at times. We gave up a long run and we gave up some yards to their power-I set right there, which we knew they were going to get in,” White said. “We just didn’t make the right adjustments. We

made adjustments at halftime and started shutting it down.” As for the adjustments that need to be made after the season opener, White said the Tigers will clean up some miscommunication on a few plays that were called and will need to get in better shape moving forward. “Overall, I thought our team played well for this first game. It’s hot, there was cramping everywhere, but I’m proud of our guys for gutting it up and playing,” White said. “We’ve got to get in better

condition because it’s going to be this hot next week. We also had some miscues on the sideline with our playcalling. We’re not reading the board right and getting it to our wristband. We had three or four wrong calls that didn’t get signaled in right. So, we’ve got to clean that stuff up. Overall, I’m pleased. There are things we’ll work on next week, but our kids deserved this win.” Reeltown will take the field again Friday at LaFayette, while Dadeville will host Beauregard.

The Dadeville Record

Alabama has a long relationship with feds I t is common knowledge that the Indian casinos in Alabama and throughout the country are granted federal sovereignty and are not subject to state intervention and authority. Several years ago state attorney general Luther Strange filed a hail Mary frivolous lawsuit against PCI Gaming Authority for political posturing purposes. The federal district court in Montgomery took about three weeks to rule against the state. It was ludicrous that the suit was filed. Federal District Judge Keith Watkins pretty much implied as much by ruling so quickly. It was a perfunctory decision that could be written by a first year law clerk in less than an hour. One of the puzzling questions is why in the world the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has sat on their final ruling for over three years. Speculation in Montgomery is that there is an agreement between Luther Strange and former Alabama attorney general and now 11th Circuit Jurist Bill Pryor to delay the ruling. They are close Mountain Brook buddies. There was a very poignant and telling caricature of George Wallace during his heyday that very accurately depicts Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-standing relationship with the federal government. In the picture Wallace has his hand out receiving federal money. In the other hand he has a dagger ready to vehemently attack Washington. This same scenario of taking federal money while criticizing the federal programs that sustain Alabama continues today. We receive a lot of federal dollars, folks. In fact, a recent government analysis revealed that Alabama is in the top three states when it comes to receiving funds from Washington. Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial relationship with the federal government is very beneficial. According to an analysis from WalletHub, Alabama is ranked third in economic dependence on the federal government. WalletHub included three measures in their ranking. First they studied the number

of federal employees per capita in a state. Secondly, they compared the amount of federal revenue received to total state revenues and third a comparison of federal revenue to federal taxes paid. Alabama receives $3.28 for every $1 in federal income taxes paid by our residents. Amazingly, 37 percent of Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state spending is paid for with federal money. The survey estimates that nearly 12 percent of Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workforce are federal government employees. This illustrates what a gigantic impact our federal military bases have on Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy. Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Maxwell and Gunter in Montgomery and Fort Rucker in the Wiregrass are extremely important to Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic wellbeing. There is a glaring irony in the study. The states where the Republican Party dominates are more likely to be dependent on federal government dollars. Last year the Bureau of Economic Analysis did a detailed study of the 50 states and ranked them in order of per capita income. The analysis ranked Alabama 42nd in the nation in per capita income. Our per capita income is

$36,501. They came to that figure by taking all of the money earned by Alabamians and dividing it by the number of people living in the state. Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s per capita figure was 18 percent lower than the national number or, in other words, Alabamians earned 82 cents for every dollar earned throughout the country. We are not only a low-income state, we are also a low-growth state. Alabamians personal income grew by only 1.8 percent, whereas most southeastern states saw growth of at least 2 percent or more. However, if you happen to be a teacher or state employee in Alabama, your income decreased. The states with the highest percentage of growth in 2013 were Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. Therefore, it appears that if you live west of the Mississippi your income grew the most. Over the years in Alabama we have had a large number of dry counties. That means they do not sell alcohol in these counties. Of Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 67 counties, 25 do not allow alcohol sales countywide. Most of these counties are in north Alabama. This region is very conservative and very religious. Alabama is known as the Bible Belt and north Alabama is the buckle of the Bible Belt. However, it is not a bad reflection of those

counties that they are dry. Since we are discussing economic statistics, a cursory look at those 25 counties will indicate a direct correlation to prosperity and per capita income. These counties are also in the top tier of Alabama counties when it comes to per capita income. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading political columnist. His column appears weekly in 72 Alabama newspapers. Steve served 16 years in the state legislature. He may be reached at www.steveflowers.us.

September is Voter Registration Month By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill and other secretaries of state from around the nation are reminding citizens that September is National Voter Registration Month. Merrill is working with Alabama’s federal, state and local leaders to remind Alabamians of the importance of exercising their right to vote, as well as working to ensure that all eligible Alabamians can exercise their right to vote. “The need for public information and education regarding voter registration and related deadlines is extremely critical as Alabama voters prepare to take part in the 2015 statewide election and the 2016 presidential election cycle,” said Merrill. “Registering to vote empowers eligible citizens to exercise their right to vote on Election Day. I am thankful to all the secretaries of state who are highlighting the importance of National Voter Registration Month and Day.” Alabamians are urged to go to alabamavotes. gov to register to vote or find their polling place. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, only 38.5 percent of all registered voters in the

United States cast ballots in the November 2014 elections. In Alabama, 40.9 percent voted, the lowest participation in a nonpresidential election in the state in at least 28 years. In Tallapoosa County, 41.3 percent of all registered voters cast their ballots, according to the Leon Archer, Tallapoosa County probate judge. The state in which the highest percentage of registered voters participated in the 214 elections was Maine, where 60.5 percent of those registered voted. Only five states saw more than 50 percent of their registered voters turn out to vote: Maine, Colorado (55.2), Wisconsin (53.8), Iowa (51.5) and Oregon (51.8). The lowest turnout of registered voters for the November 2014 elections was 30.2 percent in Texas. Other states that saw less than onethird of their registered voters participate at the polls were Nevada (32.6), Oklahoma (32.3), New Jersey (31.5), California (30.8) and New York (30.6). The nation’s Secretaries of State established September as National Voter Registration Month as a non-partisan means of encouraging voter participation and increasing awareness about

state requirements and deadlines for voting. The National Association of Secretaries of State has also declared Sept. 22 as National Voter Registration Day. Links to online voter registration portals and voter registration forms can be found online at www.nass.org. “Each September, we ask eligible citizens to help celebrate democracy and make voting part of our back-to school and back-tobusiness routines,” said NASS President Tom Schedler, who serves as Louisiana Secretary of State. “Thanks to state adoption of new and improved technologies, registering to vote has never been faster, easier, or more convenient for people with busy lives. We are grateful to all of the Secretaries of State who are helping to celebrate and share the good word about National Voter Registration Month.” Eligible citizens who are 18 years of age or older may register to vote. Every state except North Dakota has a registration requirement for voting. Updating voter registration information is critical for people who have recently moved, changed their name, or had their voting rights restored. Most states, including Alabama, allow eligible voters to

verify their registration status online.

A smartphone app to access voter registration information and tools is available in the following states: Arkansas, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.
