Council talks city system upgrades

Members consider GIS mapping, hydraulic modeling By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer

The Tallassee City Council is considering GIS mapping and hydraulic modeling to upgrade the city water, sewer and gas systems. If approved, this measure could cost about $140,000 but could save much more than that in the long term.

A hydraulic model is a mathematical model of a fluid flow system such as a water system, a sewer system or a storm system and it’s used to analyze systems’ hydraulic behavior. A geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage and present all types of geographical data. In this case, that data would be

underground pipes that have been in place for years and, in some cases, are in unknown locations. “Just like most cities, we’re not really sure what’s there,” CDG Engineer Scott Trott said, “how old it is, what needs to be replaced and what doesn’t.” The initial steps are documenting and mapping all the components of the city’s water, sewer and gas systems. “The first thing we have to do is map everything and collect data,” Trott said. “We generate an entire map of the

system.” Once all components of the water, sewer, and gas systems are accounted for, that data can be stored in a central location that is accessible by everyone who needs access to the hydraulic model. “We take this information and keep it all in one database that everyone can access,” he said. Once the data is collected, engineers determine what adjustments need to be made to run the system at maximum See COUNCIL • Page A3

Student FFA car wash set for Saturday

First steps to a new high school in progress

By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer

Is your vehicle dirty? If so, leave it that way until Saturday and bring it over to Advanced Auto on Gilmer Avenue between 7 a.m. and noon so Tallassee High School’s Future Farmers of America students can wash it for you. Local FFA students are holding the first annual car wash Saturday and “everyone is encouraged to attend,” according to FFA vice president V’angela Holmes. “The car wash is new this year,” Holmes said. “We have the meat sale each year, and we will still have that, but this is new for us.” Funds from the upcoming car wash will directly benefit FFA See CAR WASH • Page A7

Wade Shipman first presented members of the Tallassee City Council with drawings of the new school in February. After Tuesday’s public hearing, THS students are one step closer to a new school.

The City of Tallassee held a public hearing to discuss and consider approval of a request by Tallassee City Schools for rights to portions of Preer and King Street as well as public alley right-of-way. Tallassee schools asked the city to abandon rights to the streets that run immediately east of the high school’s current campus so that a parking lot can be constructed. “Our intention is to do a couple of things,” See SCHOOL • Page A2

Local vendors invited to showcase goods at farmers market

Carr speaks to Rotary Club Carmen Rodgers / The Tribune

Councilman Damian Carr spoke to the Tallassee Rotary Club on Thursday afternoon. Carr explained his take on beautification, safety and infrastructure within his ward. Carr’s district recently underwent a face-lift after the longstanding and decaying Old South building came down. ‘I am so glad to have that building down,’ Carr said. ‘Some may not realize just how unsafe that structure was. The top of that building was falling in and could have fallen on someone. It is safer now and looks much better in Jordanville since the removal of that building.’

Tallassee Board of Education superintendent Wade Shipman told the council Aug. 28. “One of those is to move the street over onto the property that we already own. We will rebuild the street in that location and pay for the cost of relocating the utilities that run underneath that street as well.” All of the houses in this general area are already owned by the school board but the roadways are owned by the city. He said the district also plans to rebuild the parking area to will help get cars off of King Street. Currently, most students park along the street adjacent to campus, creating little room for regular traffic and even less room for emergency response

vehicles. The board would also like to acquire the right of way to a nearby alleyway. “Our goal is to keep that alley open so that will become a through-alley all the way to that road. Just like it is now, except it will come to, basically, a three-way through our parking lot,” Shipman said. Council members declined to vote on the matter until a later date and asked for a scope of the anticipated work, a timeline and an agreement from the school system to occur all financial responsibilities that may arise during the process. With meeting schedules in place, Shipman said the board can have those conditions for the council sooner than later.

“We have a work session coming up at our board meeting, which is also a budget hearing) on Sept. 6 and some of that will be discussed at that meeting,” he said. “And we have two meetings back to back, so on the 11th when we have our second budget hearing, (also a board meeting). I expect the school system will appoint an architect and approve the architectural contract.” The council has to make a decision on this request by Oct. 6 and it will most likely hear the matter once again at the last regular council meeting in September. “No later than the Sept. 25 council meeting,” city attorney John Smith said.

The Guest House could soon be on the market more money to maintain the property than we take in on rental fees.” Tallassee Mill carpenters built the Guest House in 1941 on a secluded point facing Lake Talisi at Graveyard Creek. This house was used for hosting guests from the Baltimore Mills. Members of the city council agreed with selling the property but would like to keep some of the land around the house and Hammock has already ordered a survey of the land to make this accommodation. The Guest House was appraised last year at just over $522,000, which includes 22 acres of land surrounding it. A portion of a nature trail that is owned and operated by the city is located on the property. The property also has water frontage on Lake Thurlow council members would like to retain.

Tallassee City Council councilman Bill Godwin suggested the city should consider selling the Guest House, a long-standing historical home it owns and operates as a rental venue. “We’ve been really successful in selling some of the property the city doesn’t need to be dealing with for liability and other reasons,” Godwin said. “Seven Gables and the Patterson Building, those worked out well. The next thing we need to look at is the Guest House.” Tallassee Mayor Johnny Hammock agreed with Godwin. “The city is not in the business of rental property,” Hammock said. “We are spending

The Guest House was deeded to Tallassee in 2010 under the George McCain administration. Since Hammock and members of the council are in agreement with selling the property, they must now declare the property surplus before any further action can be taken. “Once we have everything in place, we need to declare this surplus and decide what we are going to ask for this, and maybe use the same process that we used for the Patterson Building and Seven Gables,” Godwin said. Both properties were sold through a closed bid process and if Godwin has his way, this process will begin very soon. “I think it’s time to get this piece of city property off of our plate,” he said. “I want us to be very aggressive in getting this done.”

efficiency. “We can figure out if there is a way to save power, increase pressure and more,” Trott said. “We’re trying to move water through the system more efficiently.” According to Trott, this system would also regulate water pressure. Using the data collected, engineers would be able to determine where in the city water pressure is low and what is causing the pressure to drop in that area, and make the necessary adjustments to increase it. A hydraulic model would also allow for better water quality. When water

remains in the tank too long it can lose some of the additives that make it safe for consumption. “After so much time, the chlorine in the water will evaporate,” said Tallassee Mayor Johnny Hammock, who is also the city’s superintendent of utilities. A hydraulic model would calculate the amount of water used and in each of the city’s water tanks. Based on that information, the system could automatically flush water whenever needed. Hydraulic modeling could also help the city plan for the future. According to Trott, hydraulic modeling

would determine if a system could accommodate new development. “All you would have to do is put that information into the system,” he said. Currently, there are more gas lines mapped in the city than water lines. Therefore, it’s the city’s water and sewer system that would need the most updated mapping. Having a hydraulic modeling system in place would allow remote access to the water supply and the ability to increase water pressure, potentially

saving homeowners money through a better ISO rating. There are certain standards that fire districts must meet to obtain the best ISO rating, including communications, fire department operations and community risk reduction. More water pressure could have a greater impact on that ISO rating. It could also simplify the city’s annual ISO reporting because that data would accessible by the push of a button rather manually entering this information.

THE TALLASSEE TRIBUNE

Gaillard’s ’60s chronology is a worthwhile tome T he “50-years-after” annum regarding 1968 is now two-thirds over. This year has seen the release of beaucoup special edition magazines and documentaries about what some have termed the most turbulent year in modern history. Events cited include the Tet offensive in Vietnam, the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, and the first voyage by humans to the Moon. Most of the occurrences that are recounted weren’t upbeat, which means that 50 years later, they may need to be commemorated but not necessarily celebrated (the flight of Apollo 8 being an exception). And one wonders to what extent such programs and publications have attained “plethora status.” There are limited ways that history can be documented if a modernday work sticks to the facts (as known), so it wouldn’t be surprising to experience a creeping indifference to even more 2018 shows, magazines or books about 1968. That said, I recently read

an advance copy of a Sixties retrospective called A HARD RAIN: America in the 1960s, Our Decade of Hope, Possibility and Innocence Lost (NewSouth Books), written by Frye Gaillard. He’s from Mobile and came of age during that decade. Gaillard has written numerous times about the South. His latest work covers national and international events from an entire decade and is abetted by his informed Southern perspective. And I hadn’t been familiar with some of the extensive details he imparts. For example, I didn’t know about the later life of Joe McNeill, one of the first four protestors at an early lunch counter sit-in (a Woolworth’s in Greensboro, North Carolina, in January of 1960)—McNeill went on to become a general in the U.S. Air Force. Gaillard’s history is chronological, of course, and he deftly mixes civil rights events, national politics, entertainment, and scientific achievements of each annum without presenting each year in a cookie-cutter manner. The segues from one topic to another within a

WILLIE MOSELEY Columnist

particular year are smooth and sensible. One gets the feeling that Gaillard probably leans a bit liberal in his personal socio-political philosophy, but thankfully, whenever he interpolates a personal recollection, such a rumination doesn’t come across as sanctimonious finger pointing or collective-guilt handwringing. Civil rights and its personalities does indeed get the bulk of attention in Gaillard’s book, which might be expected from an Alabamian who came of age during that decade. He’d encountered Martin Luther King in person in Birmingham, and got to hang out with Bobby Kennedy when he was a student at Vanderbilt. Personality profiles of other historical figures come across as brief and straight-forward. He makes his disdain for

Mississippi obvious as well, declaring the Magnolia State to have been “the most oppressive of all Southern states” and labeling early Sixties governor Ross Barnett as a buffoon. And there are plenty of anecdotes to back up such pronouncements. Gaillard also cites the evolution of multiple genres of popular music, and how some of it affected American lifestyles and socio-political changes. In addition to expected coverage of phenomena such as the British Invasion (which commenced in February 1964, when the Beatles played on “The Ed Sullivan Show”), he notes the earnest vocal stylings of the great (and underrated) Arthur Alexander, as well as Janis Joplin’s breakout performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, among other iconic musical events. Barry McGuire’s protest song “Eve of Destruction” is also cited. One tidbit not in the book is that most teenagers in Montgomery wouldn’t have known about that song back then, because it was banned on the Capital City’s pop-oriented radio stations.

The Space Race receives its due in A HARD RAIN, as do dangerous events such as the Cuban Missile Crisis and the advent of the Berlin Wall. The author’s overall attitude in his chronology seems to be a straight-on “for better or worse” and that style should be appreciated by readers. Sometimes, a history enthusiast with limited space in a personal library might have to rotate books out to make room for different books about the same subject(s), if said individual thinks another book does a better job of covering the facet of history in question. For example, having read and owned several books about the Manhattan Project, I eventually just retained DAY ONE: Before Hiroshima and After (Simon and Schuster) by Peter Wyden. And Frye Gaillard’s A HARD RAIN would be an exemplary work regarding the 1960s for such libraries.

Ways to light a cigarette or pipe I

used to smoke. I took up the habit as a teenager and in those days, I thought it was hot stuff to be a smoker. I was a heavy smoker until early 1989 when a throat problem caused me to quit cold turkey. None of this is what I want to talk about. I can’t remember my first cigarette lighter, it was probably kitchen matches. At 16 I along with a lot of other boys got a job in the mill. There was no air conditioning in the mill and a person started sweating the time he walked in the door. Matches would get wet and not strike, causing a lot of problems. The army issued a round tube-like waterproof container that would hold about twelve matches. We carried these around to keep our matches dry. Book matches were very popular, so a lot of businesses advertised their business on the cover of the matches and a person had to look at the cover every time he got a match. Banks, barbershops, clothing stores and cafes were big customers for book matches. Finally, it came time to get a lighter. All service stations had cards of lighters hanging on the walls. The most popular of these lighters was the zippo lighter. They were a little heavy with a flip top and advertised to “light in the wind.” During World War II and Korea, it was the GI’s

RONALD BRANTLEY Columnist

favorite lighter. The government in those days put a small pack of cigarettes and a pack of matches with each meal of C-rations or K-rations. Another thing the zippo would do is leak if you overfilled it with lighter fluid. If this happened it would get on your pants and leg and lighter fluid will blister you. These lighters can be found in antique shops with different types of military insignia engraved on them. There were a lot of imitators to the zippo, but none could completely copy them. Next to zippo was the Ronson. Ronson shot for a little higher class then the zippo. One Christmas I got a Ronson lighter; it was very classy, petite, and had my initials on it. I was very proud of this lighter, but it was small and did not hold much lighter fluid and it was not windproof. I kept it for my dress-up lighter. Daddy was a pipe smoker and one day I ran into a lighter with a pipe lighter on it; if it was tilted just right it would throw a little flame out making it easy to light his pipe but he liked

matches better and kept using them. One time while in Georgia at an auction I bought a big sack full of corncob pipes. I knew that Runt Sayers would rather smoke a corn cob pipe than any other. I bid and got all these pipes for almost nothing. The next day I carried them to the National Guard Armory where we met for coffee and I supplied him with at least a year’s supply of pipes even if he changed every week. There is no telling how many boxes of matches he used up just lighting his corncob pipe. In later years somebody got smart and started selling plastic lighters that came full of fuel. You could watch it as the fluid went down in the lighter. These lighters sold for about $1 each and you could throw them away when empty. They came out with a butane lighter, but they never caught on. Thank goodness I never worry about that anymore. I never knew that anything could smell so good at one time could smell so bad now, but a cigarette does. Most café, theatres and some ballparks don’t allow smoking anymore.

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist

Flowers talks ’78 governor’s race S

ince this is a gubernatorial election year, let’s reminisce about an epic governor’s race. The 1978 governor’s race is one of the classics in Alabama political lore. That governor’s race between the three heavyweights, former Governor Albert Brewer, Attorney General Bill Baxley, and Lt. Governor Jere Beasley, was expected to be titanic. All three men had last names beginning with the letter “B,” thus, the press coined the phrase “the three Bs.” The Republicans were relegated to insignificance on the gubernatorial stage. Therefore, the winner of the Democratic primary would be governor. Meanwhile, over in east Alabama, a little known former Auburn halfback named Fob James strolled into the governor’s race. Fob’s entry evoked very little interest, only curiosity as to why he would want to enter the fray against three well-known major players. Fob was exposed as a card carrying Republican but even a political novice like Fob knew he could not win as a Republican so he qualified to run as a Democrat along with the three Bs. Fob had become very wealthy by starting a successful manufacturing company in Opelika. When Fob signed up to run for governor the press wrote him off as a rich gadfly who simply chose politics, rather than golf, as his pastime. Little did they know that the fact he was rich and had a lot of time on his hands could spell trouble for the average political opponent who had to worry about fundraising and feeding their family while running a full-time campaign. Fob realized he was no political professional like the three Bs, who had spent their entire political adulthood in public office, so he sought out professional advice. He had the money to think big and wanted to know who was the best political consultant in the South. It was an easy answer. Deloss Walker, a political public relations genius who lived in Memphis. His track record for electing governors of southern states was 5-0. Walker was the most renowned and expensive political guru in the country in 1977. Fob quietly sought out Walker, who at first refused to take Fob’s race. Walker’s first impression was that even he could not mold Fob into a winner against three well-financed, experienced thoroughbreds. Walker’s one condition for taking the race was Fob must do exactly what he said. He must be scripted and never deviate from Walker’s pat ads and speeches. Nobody was aware Fob had garnered the genius Walker and had already been to political school when he signed up to run for governor in the spring of 1978. Brewer, Baxley and Beasley ignored Fob. Baxley even praised him saying, “Fob would be a good governor. Too bad he’s not a serious candidate.” Those words would come back to haunt Baxley. Walker’s initial polling showed Fob actually had some name identification from being an Auburn halfback in the 1950s. It also picked up on the fact that Auburn alumni yearned for an Auburn man to be governor instead of a University of Alabama alumnus. However, Fob’s best attribute was that he always followed Walker’s script. He traveled the state in a yellow school bus and let the three Bs tear each other up. Baxley, Beasley and Brewer spent all their time and money attacking each other with negative ads, all the while Fob ran positive ads evoking a clean image of himself. By mid-May most Alabamians had seen so many negative ads and mudslinging by the three Bs they were of the opinion that all three had probably shot their mothers in a bar fight but they liked old Fob James, even if they thought his name was “Bob James.” It was too late for the three Bs when they saw a poll about a week before the election showing Fob ahead of all three of them. Baxley refused to believe it and kept hammering at Beasley and Brewer, ignoring Fob. When the votes were counted, Fob was in first place. Baxley finished second because black voters were with him. Brewer was third and Beasley finished fifth behind State Senator Sid McDonald. Fob easily beat Baxley in the runoff. After all, what could Baxley say? He had run all over the state for three months saying Fob would make a good governor. Fob James had pulled off one of the most amazing upset victories in the history of Alabama politics. The Fob James story of the 1978 governor’s race is truly one for the record books. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist.

The happy homework helper I

’ve stated before in this newspaper column that my mother is a candidate for sainthood. She is the kindest, most patient person I know – and she’s had a lot of practice dealing with me over the years, as I probably tested her patience in every which way. In elementary school, as the homework got harder, I entered into a lazy streak. Our fifth grade was so large, we were combined with the sixth graders – so I had the same teachers for two years, as well as a lot of the same material. One of my teachers had to take an extended medical leave, and we had a long-term substitute who really piled on the extra work. The regular teacher, who had grown up with my mother and was a family friend, was still making the assignments and grading the papers, but since she wasn’t actually in class she made sure every moment was filled with material. And book reports, written reports, and big projects. The project that would be the most time-consuming was an endof-unit report. My assignment was a study of Mexico. We were reading about the civilizations that comprised the Americas. So, it was the Mayans,

MICHAEL BIRD Columnist Incans, Aztecs, and so on, for several weeks, culminating in a typed notebook with our own research on a topic. Mister Lazy Fifth Grader sure didn’t feel up to doing the project, so I let the assignment sit there in my homework folder for weeks. Then, the night before it was due, my mother started working on the Mexico report – for me. As a teacher of over two decades, it pains me to say this, but the 10-year-old version of me didn’t care that my mom stayed up reading articles in WORLD BOOK and National Geographic magazines trying to come up with enough sources to make a bibliography. All the while, I sat there eating and watching television like a total loser. Even as I went to bed, I heard the Smith Corona electric typewriter going into the wee hours. I started to feel a little guilty, just a little, but not enough to get up and help her. The next morning, I was given

a bright orange folder complete with beautiful pictures clipped from those National Geographic magazines; a hand-drawn map of the area I had “researched”; and a full report, typed and doublespaced. As I loaded up for school, boy did I feel like a jerk. Especially when my absentee teacher graded the project and gave it an A. Too bad I was not man enough to tell my teacher that it wasn’t even my own work. Today, with the benefit of hindsight, I imagine my teacher knew who did that project – it was too good. My mother is a far better writer than I am, certainly at that age, and she didn’t make typing mistakes – rather, if she did, she would retype the whole page that had contained the error. There are parents out there who do homework for their children. I have seen evidence of this numerous times throughout my career, and wonder if those kids feel as guilty as I still do for being too sorry to do it myself.

It’s the thought that counts

here we were, gathered around the table at Mama Lucy’s chowing down on a pot of delicious homemade gumbo. Someone from church had loaded her up with a whole bunch of “okry.” It was, as I recall, the first time she’d ever made it. It was good. Real good. We enjoyed it, in spite of swatting at fruit flies like King Kong on top of the Empire State Building. Both the kitchen and dining room were infested with those little pesky pests. I’d never seen anything like it. It was like a second-grade science project gone terribly wrong. Between bites, we’d grasp at the air like a one-armed mime climbing a ladder. Before it was over, we had them all stirred up and were reaching out and grabbing them like a game show contestant going after cash money in a wind tunnel. Mama Lucy had apparently been saving her compost in a stew pot. We all have gardens and are fans of compost. Compost is a good thing, so why waste a good thing? Here’s the problem. She kept her pot of compost inside. We kept inquiring and digging deeper and deeper. We were in tears – so

JODY FULLER Columnist much laughter. We really need to have our own reality show. The Karashians have nothing on us. Seriously. Keep up with the Kardashians or Follow the Fullers. I know what I’d rather watch. Mama Lucy had been adding to her pot for many months, but it was just rotting vegetables. There was no dirt, leaves, or anything like that. Rotting vegetables. Nothing else. In her defense, she did have the top on it, but that didn’t faze the fruit flies a’tall. The temperature was perfect for them and they were multiplying at a rapid pace. If I was a fruit fly, I would have been all up in it. It was the place to be. She has a garden too. So when we asked her why she hadn’t used the compost herself, we almost lost it. She’d been saving the compost all these months so that she could give it to us as a gift. Hey, it’s the thought that counts. We do appreciate her very much, but holy cow, that was

funny. I think she laughed harder than us. When we left that night, I saw the stew pot outside on the deck. I wanted so badly to look in it, but somehow, I was able to get past it. I can’t imagine how nasty it must’ve been. Something good did come from all of this. I had a similar pot at home, top and all. We’d been using an aluminum pan, but no more, thanks to Mama Lucy’s shenanigans. We keep it on the porch and go pour it into the compost pile every day. We don’t want no stinkin’ fruit flies so close to the house. She made gumbo again a week later. It was even better than it was the first go around, and there were no fruit flies in sight. As I look back on that first night, I sure hope no one was watching us through the window. They would have surely thought we were crazier than we actually are. We’re not, but as we all know, it’s the thought that counts.

Ride Against Domestic Violence set for Oct. 13 By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

Three local motorcycle groups are working to raise funds for the surviving children of the July 7 murder-suicide that claimed the lives of Redland Elementary School teacher Charlene Orsi and her daughter, Cadence Orsi. Bob Orsi, the husband and father, killed both of them, police said, before killing himself. Cadence Orsiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two triplet sisters were injured, and their older sister escaped and was able to run for help.

The injured sisters are said to be in stable condition and working towards recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A bunch of the motorcycle groups wanted to do something to raise money for the (surviving) kids,â&#x20AC;? Blue Knights of Alabama member Bubba Ganous said. The Blue Knights, along with the Iron Warriors Motorcycle Club and the Shamrocks Motorcycle Club, are hosting Ride Against Domestic Violence at Redland on Oct. 13. Ganous said registration opens at 9 a.m., and the cost is $20 per bike. The ride will begin at 10:30 a.m., is

expected to last between 45 minutes and an hour and will be routed through Wetumpka and Tallassee. Ganous said he and other members of the community felt the need to help. Hopefully, he said, the ride will raise money and make the community more educated on an important issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It happened right in our backyard. It was so close to us,â&#x20AC;? Ganous said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What better time to do it than in October, when we recognize domestic violence? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not attention that goes to this.â&#x20AC;? Ganous said he also hopes the event will inspire more members of the

community to lend their support to the family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, this will be a chain reaction,â&#x20AC;? he said. All of the proceeds will benefit the Orsi family. Because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the early stages of planning the event, Ganous said there is not a set fundraising goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest goal is to raise some money for the family, and the other goal is just to bring attention to the issue itself,â&#x20AC;? Ganous said. Ganous also said no one has to ride to get involved, and donations are always welcome.

Save the Tatas nets $50K for Joy to Life Foundation By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer

The numbers are in and collectively, the Save the Tatas benefit ride raised more than $9,000 this year, and cumulatively, more than $50,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We raised $9,206 this year and $51,000 over eight years,â&#x20AC;? Save the Tatas founder Helen Phillips said. More than 100 bikes participated in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poker run-style benefit ride, which took riders on a 125-mile course that began in Wetumpka at Quail Walk Country Club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At last count, there were 102 bikes, but several more joined us after that. Probably around 110 to 115 bikes in all, with about 150 people taking part in the ride,â&#x20AC;? Phillips said. The ride took a scenic route, and bikers made the first stop in Alexander City for gas and the group made a second stop in Dadeville at Nifferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on Lake Martin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone said the scenery was gorgeous,â&#x20AC;? Phillips said. The ride ended at the VFW on Riverside Drive in Tallassee. Phillips began the benefit ride in 2010 after someone she loved was diagnosed with breast cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started this ride because of my mama,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It continues to grow because so many of you that believe in the cause. Joy to Life foundation does a lot for men and women throughout the state.â&#x20AC;? All proceeds from this benefit ride go directly to The Joy to Life Foundation, an organization with a mission to provide free mammograms and other breast cancer screenings

Operation Christmas Child ramping up for the 2018 season By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer

As the calendar moves into September, many have begun to think ahead to the fall and winter months. For many, this means planning for the holidays and coordinators with Samaritan’s Purse would like to remind everyone about this year’s Operation Christmas Child. This program began in 1993 and since that time more than 157 million Operation Christmas Child gift-filled shoeboxes have been distributed to children in more than 160 countries and territories. With donors across the United States, OCC collected more than 8.8 million shoeboxes in 2017, packed with a variety of items including toys, school supplies and hygiene items. Coordinators ask those who are packing a shoebox to consider which items should and should not go into it. It is important to consider the packaging of an item. It’s important not to pack hygiene products that could break or spill inside the shoebox while en route. This year the ministry is sending more than 11 million shoebox gifts to children suffering from various conditions including poverty, natural disasters, war, disease and famine. Local churches will often hold donation drives year-round and collect supplies for this campaign until the drop-off date. Most area churches open drop-off locations in November of each year. Although most local drop-off locations for gifts are closed for a few more months, anyone can be a part of this life-changing project by packing a shoebox gift online at samaritanspurse.org/buildonline. Participants can also challenge others to pack boxes online with them or use a shoebox gift card to share the opportunity with friends and family. Several local churches participate in the yearly OCC campaign, including Tallassee’s First Assembly of God, Carrville Baptist Church, Santuck Baptist Church, Eclectic United Methodist and more. To learn about year-round volunteer opportunities or to serve with Operation Christmas Child, visit samaritanspurse.org/ occ.

What’s keeping you?

“I

t is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables.... But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” - Acts 6:2,4 The complaint was valid. Some widows were being neglected in the church’s daily benevolence ministry. The crisis created by the neglect was real. It threatened the unity of the young church. How did the apostles handle this important challenge? The apostles had a clear sense of their calling. They knew their role and responsibility in the growing community of disciples in Jerusalem. As leaders, they were ultimately responsible for addressing the threat. They also knew they did not have to personally do the work to get the job done. So the apostles appointed and commissioned

seven men to solve the problem. The widows’ needs could be met, and the apostles could stay on task, praying and ministering the word to the people. It’s a beautiful picture of how a healthy body of believers should function, with members knowing and doing their respective work. Let’s take a different lesson from the apostles’ words in our text for this week’s column. Spending time in prayer and with the word of God should be a priority for all disciples of Christ, not just leaders. It’s true that leaders have the special task and accountability for leading and feeding the flock. That duty requires extended time with the Lord. But every child in God’s family needs time with the Father. The apostles knew their priority assignment would suffer if they gave time to other matters that

MIKE MCELROY East Tallassee Church of Christ clamored for their attention. My question for you and me today is this: What other matters in your life are threatening to rob you of your prayer and Bible study time? Like the apostles, we may find that even things good and right in themselves can take time that should be spent with God. It’s good and important to be busy in good works, serving others in Jesus’ name. It’s very important to take adequate time for family life. God also wants us to work to provide for ourselves and our families, and be able to help others. But if we let such

opportunities take every available moment of our days, we will miss the blessing God intends to give us in our personal time with him. It’s also easy (and enjoyable) to give too much time to recreational pursuits. I doubt that any well-balanced Christian sees any harm in good, wholesome entertainment. Everyone needs time to relax. But if my television, my computer, my video game, my phone, my book or any piece of recreational equipment robs me of time for prayer and the word, I have a problem rooted in my priorities. As Jesus said in the parable of the soils, the cares of this world have a way of choking out the Word. I also fear that we will neglect prayer and Bible study when we lack a sense of our dependence on God. When I don’t think I need directions, I’m not likely to

listen to someone trying to tell me. When we’re blessed with plenty of material things, we’re in danger of losing a sense of dependence on God to provide. We might agree that it’s fine for you to listen to God and talk to him if you want to or need to. But if we think we’re doing fine, thank you, we may not choose to devote much if any of our time to earnest searching the Scriptures and fervent prayer. The apostles knew that nothing was important enough to divert their attention from praying and ministering in the Word. May God grant you and me the grace to realize that our own time with God is too important to allow anything to keep us from it. Mike McElroy is pastor at East Tallassee Church of Christ and a regular faith columnist for The Tribune.

REGION PLAY BEGINS

The Tigers will host Greenville in the 5A Region 2 opener Friday night.

Tigers finish home stand with region opener By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Tallassee continues to move up in the Class 5A Alabama Sports Writers Association rankings after starting the season with two home wins over quality opponents. The Tigers will stay in the friendly confines of J.E. Hot O’Brien Stadium this week as they host Greenville in the 5A Region 2 opener. Tallassee coach Mike Battles has been impressed with his team’s start but does not think playing at home has had that big of an effect. “I don’t think home field advan-

tage is that big of a deal,” Battles said. “Obviously, we like playing at home better than being away because we don’t have to do a lot of different things and change the schedule a little bit. But I think our kids would play this way wherever they were. I don’t think being at home is what’s building their confidence.” Tallassee finished last season with a 6-0 record at home and is off to a good start to match that record in 2018. The Tigers are 17-4 in home region games under Battles. With several teams preaching the importance of region games, Battles and his staff downplay

any changes in intensity. “We don’t approach region play any different than we approached Montgomery Catholic,” Battles said. “We approach every play like this is the most important play or this is the most important game because it’s the next one.” Greenville (1-1) visits Tallassee after an 18-13 loss to Carver Montgomery. This is Greenville’s first road trip of 2018. Despite a rough start for Greenville, Battles knows about the offensive threats the visitors could bring. See TIGERS • Page B2

Freshman runner leading Tallassee in 2018 By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Reeltown’s Tre Tre Hughley helps his team warm up despite his injury during last week’s game against Dadeville.

Reeltown’s Tre Tre Hughley suffers major knee injury By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Just when Reeltown thought it would see the return of its three-headed running back monster, as Keke Hughley came back from last year’s season-ending injury, things came to a crashing halt. On the Rebels’ very first offensive play of the season, Keke’s brother, Tre Tre Hughley, suffered an excruciatingly similar injury.

“The very first play on offense at Bullock County, we were running an outside run and he was reading the flow of the defense,” Reeltown coach Matt Johnson said. “He stuck his foot in the ground to cut back, and he planted to cut back and his knee just popped right out. It was just all in the cut and reaction; his knee just didn’t take it.” Just like Keke’s injury See HUGHLEY • Page B3

Woodrow Dean started running when he was 8 years old. In 2012, the Tallassee native ran the 1-mile race at the FUMC Pancake Run in Montgomery and finished first with a time of 7:02. Six years later, Dean continues to run but he’s not stopping at 1 mile. Dean is now a freshman at Tallassee in his third season running with the varsity cross country team. The Tigers have a young squad, allowing Dean to become a leader on and off the course. The freshman is looking to spread the sport around the community. “Track and cross country isn’t the biggest thing here in Tallassee,” Dean Dean said. “So I want to put it out there so that more people will come out and join.” Dean said he used to play other sports as a kid but began to focus on running when he realized how good he could be. He stopped playing baseball when he joined the high school track and cross country teams in seventh grade. “Coach (Mark) Baynes is down at the middle school and he recognized this group in the sixth grade,” Tallassee coach Danny Worley said. “He earned his money with this group.” In the first meet of the 2018 season, Dean started with a win at the Smiths Station Panther Stages. He set a personal record, running the 3K race in 10:03.50 and finishing more than a minute ahead of second place. His time sits as the ninth fastest 3K time in the state this season. “It tells me that I can definitely go faster,” Dean said. “Knowing that it’s already there and I haven’t See DEAN • Page B3

very year as September begins, everyone becomes consumed with the feeling of football. And as a Southerner, I understand that feeling. However, it seems like football has forced us to neglect one side of the most exciting months in all of sports. Everyone knows October baseball is the best baseball but the excitement happening around Major League Baseball this season has made it impossible to look away during September. Between battles for playoff spots, record seasons and award races, there is too much at stake during the final month of the season. As a New York Yankees fan, baseball has always been my first love. Getting to stay up past my bedtime as a kid to constantly see my team win divisions, pennants and world titles made me a fan for life. My appreciation for fall baseball will never waiver. That’s why it hurts me to know what we have seen from the Boston Red Sox this season has been historic. While the 116-win record may be out of reach now, Boston will easily pass the century mark in victories and will easily win the American League East over my Yankees, who have the second best record in all of baseball. And to top things off, Boston has two MVP candidates with one of them having a real chance at the AL triple crown. The worst division in baseball easily goes to the AL Central but you still cannot look away as Cleveland holds on to two of the league’s top players. Jose Ramirez and Francisco Lindor are both having MVP-caliber seasons but the bar appears to be a little higher than normal with so many big performances. Meanwhile, the Oakland Athletics have surprised everyone and appear well on their way to securing a playoff spot many people thought was out of reach. The team is somehow 2.5 games behind the reigning champion Houston Astros for the AL West title. The worst part of this division may be the most entertaining team, with the best player in baseball in Mike Trout and international superstar Shohei Ohtani, is well out of the playoff picture already. Being in Braves country, I cannot forget about the National League. Of course, who would want to with the excitement the no DH (wrong but that’s for another time) league is bringing this season? Atlanta is leading its division behind the power of youth and award-winning performances by Freddie Freeman and Ronald Acuna Jr. Everyone knew these Braves could do some damage but they are well ahead of schedule as one of the teams to beat in the NL. The fact they have had to go through two Cy Young candidates in Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer makes it even more impressive. Still sitting on top of the league is the Chicago Cubs. The talent and playoff experience put them as the favorites to return to the World Series but the inability to stay healthy has hampered the team’s regular season. The Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals, both currently holding wild card positions, are nipping at the heels of Chicago as they look to make a final push for the division. The closest race of the entire league gets overlooked because of late game times but games in the NL West is something anyone up past 10 p.m. should be watching. MVP candidate Nolan Arenado has helped shoot the Colorado Rockies past the favorites (Dodgers and Diamondbacks) but that may not hold during the final four weeks. With those three teams holding the division lead at least once in the past week, this one could come down to the final series of the season. All in all, there are still ten teams competing for the final six playoff spots. There are five newcomers battling for two Rookie of the Year awards. There are eight stars in the mix for their league’s Most Valuable Player award. This will be a September to remember. And if your eyes never shift from the football field, you may miss something special on the diamond. Caleb Turrentine is a sports writer for The Tribune.

Elmore County Player of the Week

Cliff Williams / The Tribune

Reeltown’s Eric Shaw (6) had a strong receiving game last week against Dadeville.

Edgewood’s Potts runs wild in win By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

The Edgewood Wildcats improved to 2-1 on the season after a 34-3 win against Lee-Scott Potts Academy on Friday night. Junior running back Kolby Potts led the offense, finishing with 134 rushing yards and three touchdowns. “He’s a workhorse,” Edgewood coach Darryl Free said. “He always wants the football and that’s a positive thing. He’s really developed from this time last year. He’s understanding how to play the running back position.” Potts, who is the Elmore County Player of the Week, was the workhorse for the Wildcats, rushing the ball 11 times more than anyone else on the team. He got going early in the game with his first big runs coming in the opening quarter. With Edgewood near midfield, Potts busted through the middle of the line for a first down. On the next snap, an outside run was called but Potts made a cut through the middle of the field and ran into the end zone for a 32-yard score. “It feels pretty good,” Potts said. “You always want to score but I do like seeing my teammates score the majority of the time.” His first touchdown of the season gave the Wildcats a 7-0 lead, which was all the team needed, but the junior was not finished. As the sun went down in Auburn, Potts added another touchdown for the visitors. His offensive line made a hole to the left and Potts did the rest. He had to avoid one tackler on his 17-yard scramble to the goal line. His final score of the game came on the first play of the fourth quarter. With Edgewood closing in on the end zone, it was an easy to decide who was going to get the ball. Potts avoided a big push from Lee-Scott’s defensive line and ran it 4 yards to give the Wildcats a 34-0 lead. “My linemen just do a good job of opening up holes and I take advantage of it, running as fast as I can,” Potts said. “My O-line does a great job blocking for me and without them, I wouldn’t be running anywhere.” Potts also plays on the defensive side of the ball. He finished Friday’s game with 2.5 tackles and one pass breakup. During both of Edgewood’s victories this season, Potts has been the star. In wins over Northside Methodist and Lee-Scott, the junior has averaged 128.5 rushing yards per game and 6.8 yards per carry. “Kolby is a huge part of our team and getting him going is something we want to do every Friday night,” Free said. “But we can’t put all of the pressure on one player because that wouldn’t be fair to him.” Before the season began, Free said Potts was one of Edgewood’s players who was prepared for a breakout season. After three games, the junior looks like he’s on his way to turning a few heads. “Coming into this season, we knew Kolby was capable of this so it’s exciting to watch his talent on Friday nights,” Free said.

Reeltown is ready for what counts By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

It’s no secret Reeltown’s football team is off to a great start. It’s beaten its opponents by a combined score of 69-14 in two games this season and has moved up to No. 3 in Class 2A in the most recent Alabama Sports Writers Association poll. But none of that matters now, as the Rebels embark on 2A Region 4 action Friday night at Fayetteville. “This is where it counts,” Reeltown coach Matt Johnson said. “This is where it really matters. Our philosophy and process and mission of what we do every

game doesn’t change. How we prepare is not going to change. How we embrace the game and the competitive nature of it is not going to change. But knowing the sense of urgency is here, that’s what matters. “We don’t want to pressure ourselves. Nothing is going to change on how we prepare. There is just an asterisk next to it saying this is the one that counts.” This is a game where the Rebels need to avoid complacency. Reeltown has never lost to Fayetteville in six meetings and put a beatdown on the Wolves a year ago to the tune of 55-0. That being said, the Rebels could

be tested defensively as Fayetteville utilizes multiple offensive formations and Reeltown is working under a new defensive scheme after an injury to starting linebacker Tre Tre Hughley. “It’s one of those weeks where they throw so many formations at you offensively, it makes you simplify your defense,” Johnson said. “I’ve always been a defensive guy, so facing teams like this makes you become more vanilla defensively because you can’t do as much because they do so much. You gotta play fast, and because we have so many playing both ways, we don’t want to throw too See REELTOWN • Page B3

Tigers “They are very athletic and very fast,” Battles said. “They have speed all over the field. They have a very athletic quarterback with good receivers and a great offensive line.” Greenville’s Javion Posey, a Western Kentucky commit, has started the last two seasons at quarterback and led the Tigers to a season-opening 29-25 win over the 2017 state champion Hillcrest-Evergreen Jaguars. While Posey is a focus for the offense, Battles said he spreads it out well. “They’re all good,” Battles said. “There’s not one guy over there that you say you have to stop, there’s about five of them. We’re going to have to cover the whole field.” Tallassee may not have a chance to stay with Greenville athletically but Battles said it will be his team’s offense that could keep it in the game. “For us to have success on Friday night, we’re going to have to move the football,” Battles said. “We’re going to have to control the game on offense. And of course, we’re going to have to tackle because if you miss one tackle against

them, it’s a touchdown.” Tallassee, now ranked No. 6 in the ASWA poll, made the jump to 5A this season but is familiar with the teams after moving back and forth between

classes over the last decade. The Tigers were last in 5A in 2015 and the team finished region play at 3-3, earning the region’s final playoff spot. The Tigers have never

defeated Greenville but the two teams have not played since 2011 which was the year before Battles took over the program. Tallassee is 6-0 in region openers under Battles.

gone all out in my training yet, it tells me I can go a lot faster in my 3K and my 5K.” With almost four full years remaining in high school, Dean is setting high goals for the rest of running career. He wants to get his 3K run down to 9:30 and hopes to set a new personal record in the 5K race with a time of under 17 minutes. “Those are the goals for this year,” Worley said. “We’ll see where the training goes after this. Ultimately, he looks at cross country and he wants to be the best guy in the state once he’s a senior.” Dean finished 44th in the Class 4A State Championship meet last season. While his results continue to improve at cross country meets, Dean said his favorite competitions are during the spring for outdoor track. “I like the long distance running but track, I feel like I can put more energy into it,” he said. “I’m probably better at the long distance and cross country thing but I enjoy track more.” Worley sees the passion for track and believes Dean has a bright future in the sport. “He really likes the track meets,” Worley said. “He does a good job of pushing himself in both but track will be one he can be really good at it. He’s got really good closing speed, a lot faster than you would think for a distance runner. He’s able to close down on finishes of races and that’s good to have for the shorter distances.” Dean has his sights set on more personal records once the track season begins but his big goal is performing at an international level. He said he wants to push himself in track so he can compete in the Junior Olympics, which are held annually. However, Dean knows the steps that come before that are about small improvements. “In all races I’m aiming for the top but if I go out and beat my PR, then I’m definitely fine with it,” Dean said. “That means I’m doing better in my training and racing strategies.”

much at them.” Although Fayetteville is known for a run-heavy offense, Johnson said quarterback Andrew Machen has a strong arm and can pass well when he needs to. Defensively, the Wolves base out of a 4-3 front with their biggest standout being defensive end Zachary Roberts, who stands at 6-foot-3, 243 pounds. “Defensively they fly around to the ball, and they have a really big defensive end,” Johnson said. “They’ll have a good plan against us, and a lot of stuff they do offensively and defensively is similar to us.” For Reeltown, all 11 Rebels played extremely well in their defeat of Dadeville a week ago. Trey O’Neal had an exceptional game both defensively and offensively, blocking well and scoring a touchdown. Eric Shaw and Cameron Faison were both offensive standouts, in addition to Keke Hughley, who rushed for nearly 200 yards. Johnson said quarterback Khoner Davis, who hasn’t had to do much passing this season, managed the game well and even had a pair of touchdown passes against the Tigers. Although the Rebels looked

nearly flawless in a lot of ways the first two weeks, there is one major thing they have to get cleaned up, and that’s penalties. Reeltown had four touchdowns called back due to flags last week, and the story was similar in Week 0 against Bullock County. “Two weeks in a row, we’ve gotta get those cleaned up,” Johnson said. “In the film, there have been

a year ago, it wasn’t based on physical contact or an especially aggressive tackle; Tre Tre’s knee injury was just a freak accident. Hughley underwent an MRI last week and will have surgery Friday. Johnson confirmed Tuesday Hughley will be out for the majority of the season, if not all of it. “It really depends on the process,” Johnson said. “There’s a chance that he could be back for the playoffs.” Hughley led Reeltown’s offense a year ago, finishing the season with 1,043 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns on the ground. He was also a key part of the Rebel defense. “Our team has rallied around him,” Johnson said. “His brother Keke returned this year from a

similar injury, and he’s full speed, along with Cameron Faison. So they’re carrying Tre Tre’s weight right now. Tre Tre has a great mindset so far, and I hope he’ll continue that.” Reeltown has installed a completely new defensive scheme, not just based on Hughley’s injury but also some other nagging injuries and depth issues at linebacker. And Johnson is hoping Tre Tre will have a strong support system from his older brother, who went through the same thing this time last year. “They’re really close and tight knit,” Johnson said. “There’s definitely some advice that Keke has that he can give him because they’re so similar. That’ll be a strong support system for him.” And while Reeltown might

miss a beat due to Hughley’s injury — although it didn’t seem like it, as Reeltown demolished Dadeville, 34-6, last week in his absence — what’s really hard for Johnson and the Rebels to swallow is what Hughley himself will miss. “It does affect us as a team, but that’s not near as important as him,” Johnson said. “Seeing the work and perseverance and things he’s done this offseason, he’s grown up so much and matured so much. He’s one of those example leaders on our team. Every sprint, everything we did, he did full speed this offseason. “I hate it more for him, way more, than for us. Of course it changes us. Of course we hate to lose him as a player, but not near as much as I hate it for him.”

some just bonehead mistakes and things happening way behind the play, so we’ve gotta get those cleaned up. Any time you negate success with lack of discipline, that’s not a good trait to have. That’s our No. 1 thing.” Reeltown is on the road for this week and the next before finally hosting its first home game in Week 4 against LaFayette.

Bark in the Park two weeks away By REA CORD HSEC Executive Director

Only two weeks until our 13th Annual Bark in the Park at Fort Toulouse on Sunday, Sept. 16 from 1 to 5 p.m. Bark in the Park is all about people and dogs and just an afternoon of fun for everyone. We will start the afternoon with a very interesting demonstration to show you something fun every dog owner can do with their dog no matter if your dog is young or old, big or small! Then a bit after 2 p.m. you can be a part of the Blessing of the Pets followed by showing off your pet in our always fun Pet Parade. From 1:30 to 3:30 you can get your dog microchipped for only $25 (includes the registration) thanks to the Tuskegee Veterinarian School. Cotton State Photography would love to take a professional portrait of your pet – think of Christmas coming up perhaps! Let your dog paint its very own ‘paw’ painting, search out hidden shelter painted rocks for a keepsake or to trade for a yummy baked goodie. If you come with an appetite then you will want to visit Wetumpka’s own Grumpy Dog, and you can follow that up with delectable Italian Ice from Venice Gelato and sodas from Buffalo Rock. Make sure to purchase one of our special Bark in the Park 2018 T-shirts for $15 to add to your collection (or pre-

purchase at the shelter now)! We always have numerous arts & crafts vendors, vendors specializing in pet products, local businesses and more. Everyone will be set up under the trees and room for more so if you have something to sell or just want to get some exposure for your business, club, or organization then contact us at the shelter at hselco@ bellsouth.net or call us at 334-567-3377 for a Vendor application. Our vendor fee is only $35 and you must bring your own tables/pop-up/ chairs. There is no electricity available so if you must bring a generator please let us know for site planning. Admission to Bark in the Park is $5 per person 13 years old and older. ALL dogs coming to Bark in the Park must be good in public, meaning good around children, adults and other dogs in a very busy situation, AND they must have a current rabies tag/proof of rabies vaccination to come to the Park. Saturday, Sept. 29 will be the 16th annual Cruisin’ fer Critters at DeJa Vu, at 121 N. Burbank Drive in Montgomery! Registration starts at 11 am with last bike out by noon. Each ‘hand’ is $15 for which you get an event patch, goodie bag, food and door prize ticket. Bike games, bike/car wash, live auction, thrift table 50/50 and just a great day of fun. Best

hand wins $250, 2nd best wins $100 and worst hand wins $50 (must be present to win). There is a $5 minimum if you don’t want to play a ‘hand.’ Sponsorships are available so please contact John West at 334-294-7154 or Sherri Clower-Kirkley at 334-207-3773. Also on Saturday, Sept. 29 at 4 p.m. join the fun at Ida Belle Young Park, 5400 Vaughn Road, Montgomery for a first ever Charity Flag Football Game between Team Stallion and Sincerely Yours as they play to raise money for our shelter, Humane Society of Elmore County, and Resurrection Catholic Church. No admission but donations gratefully appreciated. And, if all of the above isn’t enough – if you have been wanting to get a tattoo, or perhaps add to your ‘tats,’ then you will want to map out your drive to Mad Tatter Tattoo Studio, 10073 Holtville Rd, Deatsville, Alabama 36022 for their 24 hour Tattoo event starting at 10 am, Nov 10th to 10 am, Nov 11th supporting our shelter and the Slapout Fire Department. They have three specific tattoos (American Flag, paw print, skull) to choose from for $20 each and also hope to set a state record for most tattoos in 24 hours. This event is growing and there will be food, entertainment and more so mark your calendar and we’ll see you there.

Pet of the Week – Sebastian

ebastian is an almost 6-month-old lab mix boy who only weighs about 35 pounds so not going to get much bigger. He is great with other dogs and just loves everyone.

Hedgehogs

Find The 12 Differences

Hedgehogs are small mammals found in many parts of the World. They look cute and cuddly, despite being covered in thousands of tiny spikes that protect their bodies. They are small animals, ranging in size from one-to-four pounds and only a few inches in length. They are nocturnal which means that they sleep during the day and are awake at night. Some live in forests, while others are able to survive in desert climates. Only certain types of hedgehogs hibernate, or sleep through the Winter. Others sometimes go into a trance-like sleep for shorter periods of time. That is called torpor. Hedgehogs are omnivores which means they eat plants and meat. They like small insects, such as scorpions or spiders. They will also forage around for Using a grid helps when drawing. Copy the fallen fruit, mushrooms, and other small prey. A hedgehog may shoot his prickly spines up when threatened, but most hedgehog square by square below. tend to curl up into a small ball. A special muscle that runs the length of their bodies allows them to curl completely into a ball, protecting their soft bellies, head, feet and legs from a predator. Most animals will avoid their spines. Many people wish to keep hedgehogs as pets, but it is illegal in several states in the United States.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You understand more than you choose to reveal. What is happening around you could take a radical twist if you are not careful. Finances might be involved. Be careful to read all the Ă&#x201E;ne print, as there easily could be a misrepresentation. Tonight: Check your budget before going out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have become changeable, but in a slow, decisive manner. Others could be testing your limits and making sure you really mean what you say. Be patient as they try diÉ&#x2C6;erent techniques to change your response. Make a point of visiting with a loved one. Tonight: Out with a friend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Dive into a project or clear out some important calls. You might be in the mood to overthink an issue, which is not going to create change immediately. Instead, toss yourself into your life and perhaps schedule a massage. You will feel more upbeat later. Tonight: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t push yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You appear to be an endless resource to many people. You could be unusually dynamic with a project that means a lot to you. You hit a roadblock when dealing with a long-term goal. Walk around the issue! Tonight: A friend could rain on your parade -- if you allow him or her to.
