Commission backs Sunday sales
By COREY ARWOOD Staff Writer
The Elmore County Commission approved resolutions in support of local legislation allowing Sunday sales of alcohol and the formation of an Elmore County Industrial Development Authority and approved four of the five board appointments. There seemed to be general consensus among
the commission starting the process that alcoholic beverages being sold in restaurants and service stations alike on Sunday would be a prudent move for area businesses. Several of the commissioners voiced stipulations, saying their support of the resolution was strictly an economic move to keep Elmore County competitive with neighboring counties. Commissioner and Chair Troy Stubbs opened
the discussion with background on the recent history of alcohol sales legislation approval in next-door Tallapoosa and Montgomery counties. “That has led to discussions from many of our local business owners, especially many of which are located in the north part of the county where people are able to just cross the county line, some for this purpose of alcoholic beverages,” said See COMMISSION • Page 3

Child Find program seeks students with disabilities By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
The Tallassee City School System is launching its annual campaign to assist children up to 21 years old who have disabilities or may need special services. The campaign urges parents, service providers and concerned citizens to contact Child Find, a program to locate, identify and evaluate children with disabilities or children who are believed to have disabilities. “Child Find is a statewide effort that is put together through the state department of education and department of rehabilitation services to identify and evaluate children who have disabilities,” said Lynell Carr, coordinator for Child Find. “Tallassee City Schools serves children from the ages of 3 to 21.” If a young child needs assistance, a teacher will go into that child’s setting to assist with disabilities. “The special needs teacher may go to the child’s daycare to offer assistance or to the child’s home to offer that same assistance,” Carr said. There are 13 different areas of disabilities in this program. See CHILD • Page 7

Spring began this week. Flowers are blooming, bees are out scouting for the best pollen makers and the days are beginning to last just little longer. Settled between Alabama’s hot and humid summer and unpredictable, often rainy winter, spring is not too hot and it’s not too cold. That’s why many choose to head outside and spruce up the yard and other outdoor living spaces during this time of year. The Tallassee Chamber of Commerce hopes to inspire Tallassee residents to do this on a large scale with the eighth annual Earth Day Team Up to Clean Up. This event is set for the week of April 17-22 with a special Team Up to Clean Up event scheduled for Saturday, April 22. With this event, think citywide cleanup. This may

the newly selected County Attorney Jeff Cortney. Holt asked, “So we’re not imposing it on the cities, they’re going to have to make their own decisions, right?” And Cortney confirmed that was the case. Stubbs said they were providing the “pathway” to make the choice and prefaced that any move would have to be advertised for a full month before it went to the State House. He said state Sen. Clyde Chambliss would be the local legislator to support it. Commissioner Mack Daugherty took a similar tone in his approach to resolution. “I’m looking at this from strictly an economic perspective, and some of the businesses … had begun to take a proactive role and started petitions and so forth,” said Daugherty. “I think as a commission we certainly want to be proactive and when an issue comes up like this that does affect the economy of the businesses in the county, I think that we can be proactive and get out in front of that issue and not wait for businesses to think that they have to circulate petitions and so forth to get our attention.” Another major item that arose at the meeting was the formation of the Elmore County Industrial Development Authority. A legal representative from the Elmore County Economic Development Authority spoke to the
Stubbs. “But they are also spending their money on a lot of other things in those neighboring counties and it’s causing some revenue impact on our local business owners.” Stubbs said they had spoken directly with municipalities and in his District Three he had spoken with City of Wetumpka officials. He said the legislation includes all of the county’s municipalities. Mercer said through District Four he represents four municipalities and Tallapoosa County was also a major influencing factor in his decision to back the resolution. He said in his research he talked with an owner of multiple convenience stores outside the county who told him his sales spike on Sundays. “He said his store that is closest to Elmore County sees a 40 to 50 percent increase in sales, of in-store sales, on Sunday, He said, ‘I can’t tell you if all that is crackers or if its beer,’ but he said ‘I can tell you that it still (exceeds) what we do when we see that increase depending on the season,’” said Mercer. “I think this is just purely an economic issue.” Commissioner Kenny Holt asked if cities and towns would have to vote on their involvement. Stubbs said the resolution allowed for them to adopt and fall under the same legislation that was proposed and Holt then directed the question to

behind the Recreation Center on Gilmer Avenue. Appliances may be dropped off between the hours of 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Parker Tire and Automotive will be accepting unwanted tires, batteries and oil. These items can be dropped off between the hours of 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the 1501 Gilmer Ave. location. Unwanted electronics will be collected at the Tallassee Chamber of Commerce office, which is located at 17 Sistruck St. in the downtown district. Electronics can be dropped of on Thursday and Friday, April 20, and 21, between the hours of 9 a.m. and noon. However, according to Roye, the Chamber is not capable of taking a large quantity of electronics. “We are fine with a few electronics at a time, but we simply couldn’t handle 50 computers or items like that at one time,” Roye said. In addition to these services, Advanced Disposal and Stones Throw Landfill will have a large receptacle available at City Hall for residences to use as needed on Saturday. If you would like to signup for this event, contact Roye at the Chamber of Commerce office at 334-2835151. Registration forms are also available at www. tallasseechamber.com
seem like a tall task. That’s why the chamber is looking for teams to sign up for the event. “It can be anyone,” said Michone Roye director of the Tallassee Chamber of Commerce. “It can be a family, business or even an individual that wants to join.” Last year, the city had a large turnout for this event. Former councilman Charles Blalock coordinated a large cleanup effort in the Jordanville community. Linda Coppinger allowed volunteers to use her lot as the designated drop-off area for trash collected and from there, the debris was taken to the Advanced Disposal dumpster at City Hall. Several other groups and organizations also joined in last year’s efforts to clean up city streets. Tallassee Middle School had over 85 students join in last year’s Team Up to Clean Up. Tallaweka Baptist had 17 team members out cleaning the city. In all, close to 200 individuals joined together to make a difference in the community. This year, in addition to Saturday’s Team Up to Clean Up, there will be drop-off locations for large items and items that need special disposal available throughout the week. Beginning Monday, April 17, unwanted major appliances can be dropped off at the city shop, located

commissioners about the creation of the entity. Attorney Charles “Trey” Hill III of Bradley said the board would serve as an arm or mechanism to promote the creation of jobs and the expenditure of capital from industries looking to locate in the county and also to oversee tax abatements. Stubbs said there had been prior meetings to discuss the creation of the ECIDA. The board would not interfere with the industrial development boards of the municipalities and towns of the county. Ultimately four board members were approved by the commission, including: Gwendolyn Long, Rhett Smith, Harris Gardner and Art Faulkner. Daugherty asked to be recused from the vote on the board appointees, saying he was related to one of the members and did not want to vote on a matter with family involvement. Also decided at the meeting: • A motion was tabled to appropriate $5,000 to the Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce. • A motion was considered to regarding dispatcher pay rates at the Elmore County Sheriff’s Office. • A motion was approved to set the Mapper I position pay rate at $13 in the Revenue Commissioner’s office.

Thank-yous and transient talk: Trending towards evanescence?
C
ontemporary America seems to be evolving into a more aloof and/ or perhaps even rude society when it comes to simple manners and courtesy. Often, encounters with strangers in public places don’t come across as cordial or respectful, as might have been the situation in times past. Now, I’m not talking about, er, “hardcore manners,” as dictated by Emily Post. For that matter, most of us usually aren’t in scenarios where Post’s guidelines would come into play on a regular basis anyway. Instead, there are numerous simple gestures that average folks ought to be practicing more, and as mobile as the U.S. populace is, such opportunities for a quick exercise of courtesy can come during travels or commutes to work. An obvious and common occurrence would be when a traffic jam necessitates a merge from two lanes into one. If you’re in the wrong lane and need to move over, a simple wave of appreciation to the driver who stopped to let you in his/
her lane would be appropriate and would probably be appreciated by that individual. Then there’s the ageold practice of holding a door open for someone. Traditional behavior would mandate that a male should step back for a female, allowing her to pass through a portal first, but it doesn’t hurt to stand aside at an entranceway for anyone, regardless of gender or any sociological designation. There are even old-fashioned entrance/exit manners for elevators, for that matter. And it can be a minor and fleeting annoyance when you’ve held a door for someone, and he/she doesn’t acknowledge such a gesture and instead, breezes right through without ever looking at you or breaking stride. The simple courtesy of holding a door open, uh, opens the door to the next facet of this rumination, which involves brief conversations with strangers or persons with whom you may have had very oblique contact some time ago. A while back, I was driv-
The So-Called Column By Willie G. Moseley ing to Huntsville and had stopped at the rest area on I-65 just north of Clanton. As I exited the building to return to my car, a guy held the door open for me and I thanked him. His countenance seemed to abruptly change (to a look of recognition?) and he grinned and said, “How ya doin’?” As I passed by, he said “I know you from somewhere.” I stopped and turned around. “You’re from Tallassee, aren’t you?” he inquired. It turned out his son had been on the THS track team a few years ago, and he remembered me from meets I’d covered (usually at Beauregard). We conversed briefly; his son is doing well in college, and I shook hands with him and thanked him for saying hello. Then there was an encoun-
ter at a motel in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. When I’m out of town, I’ll usually wear knit golf shirts that are sporting a logo— besides the brand’s own logo, if it’s (also) on the shirt—or maybe I’ll wear a t-shirt with the logo of the guitar magazine for which I’ve been writing for a number of years. In New Mexico, some guy spotted the state of Alabama silhouette on my shirt and asked if I was from there. He had been a pilot with an Air National Guard unit in Birmingham. Any logo on any piece of apparel is, of course, free advertising for a college team, pro team, business or, as noted earlier, the brand of apparel itself. However, spotting an emblem with which you can identify can be an interesting conversation starter. Another interesting encounter opportunity happened on I-10 West at the Alabama-Mississippi state line. A young couple had stopped at the Magnolia State’s welcome center and was preparing to take sep-
arate photos of each other standing by the “Welcome to Mississippi” sign when I pulled into a parking space nearby. I hopped out and offered to take a picture—with their camera—of both of them standing by the sign, and they eagerly consented. A brief conversation elicited that they were from Germany, so that conversation was a small lesson in cordial and personal international relations. Sometimes it’s a tradeoff at a historical site or an amusement park; i.e., “I’ll take your picture if you’ll take mine,” and such opportunities usually result in a quick and pleasant exchange. And one wishes that Americans wouldn’t be in so much of a hurry that they don’t have time for polite behavior. The more that trait fades away, the more it seems this country’s soul is being diminished. Willie Moseley is the former editor of The Tribune and a regular columnist for Tallapoosa Publishers, Inc.

The Tallassee Tribune
Let’s talk about the weather L
et’s talk about the weather. Before we get started remember that I’ve been around longer then our television stations in the area. When these stations started, news didn’t take up hours of time and weather took up even less. In those days there were only a few stations in Montgomery and one in Columbus, Georgia that we could pick up. In those days the weathermen were mainly just one man and he came equipped with a blackboard with a map drawn on it and a piece of chalk. He had five minutes to give the weather and he did a pretty good job of it. Today, if we added up the time on any one station it would amount to hours of weather using a huge crew of men and young women with every kind of gadget in the world to show you this front or that front. Some stations have weather vehicles that shows the clouds, the
The Coffee Breaker By Ronald Brantley rain, the moon and everything in between. They have hundreds of digital charts back at the station and they can flip from the station to the vehicle and back to the station. Even up to New York and back to California. It’s nothing to show a snowstorm in Colorado with traffic jams and truck wrecks. They can touch the computer and watch storms come across Texas. Have you noticed there are two important things they don’t do? I have watched the channels out of Montgomery and all of them miss these two important thigs. With all the fishermen and cabin owners in the area they never stop and say the dam elevation at Lake Martin, Lake Jordan, Lay Lake or any other lake in our
area. Sometimes just for a flash of a second they may jump on the screen and before you can read them they’re gone and a commercial is on. Another thing that I and a lot of people have noticed is the rain. I run a business and after a good rain customers come in and the first thing they ask is how much rain did we get? Did they announce it on television? Why don’t we call the biggest station the one with all that fancy equipment on top of buildings in Montgomery, Alex City, Tallassee and Prattville? I volunteered to call. A sweet talking young lady answered the phone and by the way the news was on and a pretty young lady was on the air wearing a knockout red dress and made up to perfection. The first young lady answered the phone and I asked this question. Can you tell me how much rain we have got since it started raining some hours ago?
“No sir,” was her answer. “Why?” I asked knowing they continuously bragged about the many thousands of dollars’ worth of equipment they had and they could measure a dog’s breath five miles away. “Do me a favor and ask one of the weather crew,” I said. “I will bring it up at our business meeting tomorrow and we certainly appreciate you asking the question,” she answered. Do you think maybe we ought to go back to the blackboard and chalk days when during a five-minute weathercast they found time to give us the dam elevations and rainfall amounts? Normally, that’s about all we need anyhow. I’ve found out that up to date is not always better. Maybe I need to call Rich and see what he’ll do about it.

Talks THE TALLASSEE TRIBUNE
Inside the Statehouse By Steve Flowers
Potentially crowded field in 2018 governor’s race
W
e are on the cusp of one of the best political years in modern political history in the Heart of Dixie. Prior to the 1970s our constitution disallowed succession of office for our state constitutional offices. In other words, you could not run for two consecutive four year terms. That is why George Wallace ran his wife in his place in 1966. George and Lurleen campaigned sideby-side. George would wink at the crowds still drawn to courthouse squares by a country band and say, “I’m going to be her number one advisor.” By the way, she won in a landslide. She beat eight male opponents without a runoff, including two former governors, an agriculture commissioner, the sitting state attorney general and two powerful state senators. However, you could serve a four year term and wait out four years and run for a second term. Only two men had done that in Alabama history. Prior to the constitutional change in the 1970s Bibb Graves of Montgomery had done it early in the century and Big Jim Folsom did it in 1946 and again in 1954. Now that governors can succeed themselves, it has become common practice for governors to serve eight years rather than four. Thus, the 2018 governor’s race will be a once in an eight year opportunity. Folks, we are in for one heck of a year and the bell rings on June 6. Therefore, the horses will begin lining up over the next few months. It will be a great cavalcade of characters. The early favorite horse in the 2018 Derby is Roy Moore. The Chief Justice’s expulsion from the bench by the Judicial Inquiry Commission has propelled him to stratospheric levels in polling. Leading a horserace is a good analogy for Moore since he traditionally rides his horse to vote at his polling place in Gallant in rural Etowah County. Some of you may question Moore’s popularity, but the numbers are there in every poll. The JIC has made him a martyr. Alabama is a very religious state and being thrown out of office by an unaccountable commission for being against homosexual marriages is a pretty good issue to run on in the Bible Belt. Moore is the wild card in the early 2018 jockeying. Most folks have him in the governor’s race. However, he has two other options. Attorney general or the U.S. Senate seat. He would probably win either of these posts. The governor’s office is another question. Historically, people do not think of him as governor. He lost miserably both times he ran, whereas he wins handily for a state judgeship. His best race is for attorney general or U.S. Senate. Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh has a free shot in 2018. She was just reelected to a four-year term as Public Service Commission president. She is already out running for governor and sometimes the early bird gets the worm. State Agriculture Commissioner John McMillan is term limited in that job that he has done well for eight years. He is well liked by everyone who knows him and is planning to run for governor. Young Boozer has also served his two-term, eight-year limit as State Treasurer. He is a wild card and gives no hints as to what his future political plans are for 2018. Young is not a natural politician. He is an erudite Stanford-educated successful banker who was perfectly suited for the state treasurer’s post and he has done an excellent job. Secretary of State John Merrill is probably the best retail politician in the state at this time. Lots of people have encouraged him to run. However, he is one of the few constitutional officeholders who can run for re-election in 2018. He will probably bide his time and run for re-election. State Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh of Anniston is itching to pull the trigger on the governor’s race, but being a powerful state senator does not translate into statewide name identification. However, Marsh is said to be wealthy. If he were to spend $3 to $5 million of his own money he could be a player. The very popular mayor of Huntsville, Tommy Battle, is seriously considering the race. If he joins the fray he could be a player. He would come out of the Tennessee Valley with a strong start. There are a lot of votes in North Alabama. We are in for a heck of a campaign year. I will keep you posted. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist.

Remembering Chuck Berry and his legacy NOTE: Last October, I submitted this column in amazement that Chuck Berry was turning 90. Since his death last weekend, I have been listening to his amazing body of work. In memory of this rock and roll pioneer, here is a reprint of the “Bird’s Eye View” column from the October 20, 2016 edition. Chuck Berry, the pioneering guitarist and songwriter, turned 90 on Tuesday. Chuck Berry! NINETY?! And he’s been married to the same woman since 1948?! AND he has a new album coming out?! George Howell, who went by the name George the DJ on the radio, often says that the first-generation rockers seemed to avoid the pitfalls of those who came after. Fats Domino, Little Richard

imagine the success of the Beach Boys without the note-perfect copies of Berry’s hits? Chuck Berry created, and has lived, a particular rock and roll style and attitude, or stance. In and out of trouble since his youth, he went to reform school (and performed his way out) and has been imprisoned on several occasions, usually for sex or gun-related crimes. Somehow, the charges never seem to stick. Chuck Berry, for all intents and purposes, is “rock and roll” personified. John Lennon of the Beatles said it this way: “if you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it ‘Chuck Berry’.” Hail, hail, rock and roll!

Repairing brokenness when the time is right
n 2001, just a few months before 9/11, Lucy, my ex-wife, went to New York with her mom. They went to see several Broadway shows while in the Big Apple. She bought a snow globe filled with the city's top landmarks and signs of the more popular Broadway shows. About three years ago, we had just moved to a new house. Her snow globes were packed in a trunk in the garage. One night, as she was in search of another item, she placed the globe from the city so nice they named it twice on the floor of the garage. She should have put it back where it belonged, but she didn't. I saw it there the next day. I was somewhat peeved that she'd left it there. I should've picked it up and put it back in its proper place, but I didn't. I was wrong for that. It remained on the floor of the garage for several days. Each of us had mul-
JODY FULLER Columnist
tiple opportunities to pick it up and do the right thing, but both of us failed. One night, I turned on the light in the garage, but the bulb blew. It didn't phase me. I continued on into garage. Several seconds later, I accidentally kicked the snow globe over and shattered the glass. I picked everything up, discarded the glass and put the base in a box. I vowed to get it repaired one day. Less than a year later, Lucy and I were divorced. She took her stuff, and I took mine. I also took her broken snow globe. I knew it could be fixed. In the fall, we started talking again, and for the most part, it was very pleasant. We started hanging
out again, too. We were just friends enjoying each other's company; we were trying to get to know each other better than before. Inevitably, we started talking about a possible future but knew we had to fix some things. When I saw the writing on the wall that we could be fixed, I sent off the broken souvenir to Colorado to be repaired. I'd hoped to get it back by Valentine's Day. I had a speech and a romantic presentation laid out for her. I wanted to show it as a symbol for our failed marriage and how we both contributed to it but also as a symbol of how something so special could be repaired, but that didn't happen. The repairs on the globe took longer than expected. By God's Grace, we didn't need the snow globe to symbolize our brokenness or our repairs. We made a decision to give our relationship another go while the repairs were tak-
ing place. Last week, I surprised her and returned to her the repaired snow globe. It looked brand new-better than ever. She had no idea that I had sent it off and had no idea that it could be salvaged. Upon further review, it wasn't perfect. The Statue of Liberty's torch had broken off, but that was okay. It wasn't perfect, but it was close enough. When something is special and you know it. You don't throw it away. You keep it. You hold onto it the best you can, and when the timing is right, you fix it. Jody Fuller is from Opelika. He is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq.

way to receive these services without fundraisers like this. “The money collected will go to our House of Hope fund, which helps women in our community that don’t have any health insurance and need to go somewhere where they can be delivered from life controlling issues,” Moyers said. Several local churches collaborated with Living Waters Worship Center to bring this fundraiser to fruition. “People know that there is need for this in our community because you see it, everywhere,” Moyers said. In less than nine months, Moyers has sent several women to rehabilitation centers in the southeast. Some of these ladies are continuing the programs and others have come back home and are continuing to succeed.
These programs can take up to a year to complete. Moyers hopes that in the future there will be a transition house right here in Tallassee that will assist individuals as they transition from the structured lifestyle of a group home back to everyday life. For many, returning to the old stomping ground can be detrimental to a successful recovery. However, fmany of these individuals from Tallassee have no other option than to return to atmosphere fromwhich they came. Through these fundraisers, Moyers and the Living Waters congregation have help several people from the community and the number continues to increase. “We have placed nine women from our community beginning in April,” Moyers said. “So far, everyone that
we’ve sent, that I know of, is still in the program or is back and doing well. When I say doing well, I mean they are accountable, they are coming to church and we can see a change in the hearts.” This event is the second of its nature. Before Living Waters Worship Center began hosting the event, Moyers raised funds on her on. “It started by calling everybody I knew,” said Moyers, “Asking for donations. We stood at the corner in Kent and asked for ‘change for change’ and within an hour we had raised over $200.” After calling and going out into the community to raise money, Moyers realized that, with the help of Living Waters, people would come to her to help these women. “Lets have a lunch,” said Moyers,
“and at the first lunch we raised around $1,100. It just kept coming and the Lord continues to bring the women.” Many think addiction only affects certain people who live a certain lifestyle. However, this is completely false. Addition can affect anyone. It has no discrepancy and is not prejudice in any way. Addiction is disease that is fought on a daily basis. Some never conquer their addiction. Furthermore, addiction can take any form. “Almost anything can be an addiction,” Moyers said. “Too much of anything can be a bad thing.” That’s why Moyers and the good people at Living Waters Worship Center will continue their efforts to save people from the grips of addiction, one Lunch for Life at a time.
Poison Prevention Week shines light on dangers to pets Child By REA CORD Executive Director HSEC
Thank you Capitol Chevrolet, Classic Buick, GMC, Cadillac, BMW of Montgomery, and Capitol Hyundai for inviting us to join in the fun on Saturday at the Capitol Chevrolet location and also for hosting a supply drive to help our pets directly. We appreciate the community support and are thrilled that one of our pups found a new and loving home as well. Reminder that we hope for a packed house on Friday, March 31, at My Place Uptown at Atlanta Crossing, 149 Eastern Boulevardlvd in Montgomery, from 7 - 10:30 pm. Bama Jammers Band, Outside the Inside & Britt Johnson are teaming up for an all-original-song concert experience benefitting the Humane Society of Elmore County. A limited number of advance premium reserve seating tickets including a delicious home cooked southern style meal by My Place are available for $25 each.
Text Rick Hansen at (334) 7826057. Advance regular admission tickets are $12 and $15 at the door day of show. Non-Smoking inside. Cash bars. This week is National Poison Prevention Week and our pets also need protection from accidental poisoning. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Animal Poison Control Center lists these more common dangers to our pets: • Prescription human medications such as heart medications, antidepressants and pain medications. Poisoning happens most often when people drop their medication while taking it and their pet gets it. • Insecticides either used on the yard or on the pets themselves. • Over-the-counter human medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) may help humans, but can be deadly to our pets. • Veterinary products and medications can be a problem because they often are made to taste good so a pet might overdose if they can gain access to their medicine.
• Household products, including bleaches and detergents. • People food also can be a problem for pets. Sugar substitute Xylitol can cause seizures and liver failure in pets. Chocolate is the number one people food ingested by animals and can cause vomiting, diarrhea, high heart rate and seizures. Garlic, onions, caffeine, grapes and raisins are other foodstuffs that cause far too many pets to end up in emergency pet clinics. • Many plants can be toxic to pets with cats leading dogs in this category of toxin exposure. Lilies, so common at Easter, can cause kidney failure in cats. • Rodenticides can be lethal and care needs to be taken when putting out baits to kill mice and rats. • Lawn and garden products like fertilizers made from dried blood & manure, and cocoa bean mulch can be very dangerous for pets. • To learn more about items that can be harmful to our pets, visit www.petpoisonhelpline.com.

Coot is a handsome fella that rather favors a St. Bernard/Aussie mix perhaps. He is 14 months old and about 50 pounds. Coot is a people dog of the highest order which is likely why he was digging out of the fence at his former home as he just wanted to go where the people were. Coot does well with female dogs but says no to male dogs and cats. He is playful and happy and just wants a family to call his own. Our adoption fees are $100 for dogs and $50 for cats under one year old. Cats over one year old can be adopted by approved adopters for a fee of their choosing. This adoption fee completely covers the mandatory spay or neuter, basic immunizations, de-worming, microchip, heartworm check for dogs, rabies vaccination (if old enough) and a free health exam with your participating veterinarian. To meet all the great pets at our shelter come to 255 Central Plank Road in Wetumpka. For more information, go to our website at www. elmorehumane.org for more information, email us athselco@bellsouth.net or give us a call at 334-567-3377. We are open for adoptions Monday–Friday 10 a.m.-5 p.m and Saturday 9 a.m.-3 p.m.

Give me one breakfast surprise in a bag, please O
ccasionally, on weekends, we cook breakfast. Sometimes, we drive through. One particular fast-food restaurant is our favorite, but sometimes I wonder why. We do love their homemade-from-scratch buttermilk biscuits. They bill them as light, fluffy and flakey. Our favorite way to have them is smothered with sausage milk-gravy, but that is not always what we get. That is not always what we order, but even when it is, that is not always what they give us. The other week, I ordered a country-ham and egg biscuit. When I arrived back home, I pulled everything out of the bag but the closest thing I found to a country-ham and egg biscuit was a sausage biscuit with no egg. I have begun to examine the bag’s contents
before I pull away. I’m not sure the restaurant workers appreciate this and I have no doubt that the guy laying on his horn in the car behind me definitely does not. I have decided that my attitude and perspective about this issue is completely wrong. I need to look at it more as a surprise to be anticipated and enjoyed, rather than an annoyance that angers me. Holiday Inn used to have a slogan that said, “The best surprise is no surprise.” This is true only if the surprise is a bad one. Good surprises, on the other hand, can be fun and much anticipated. Everybody loves a surprise birthday party, unless, of course, you are the birthday boy and the surprise shout scares you so badly that you say something that, well, you

shouldn’t say. When I was a kid, I loved Cracker Jacks. I liked the caramel popcorn and peanuts, but I loved the mystery prize in each box. I could hardly wait to tear into the box to discover that worthless prize inside. I found rub-on tattoos, miniature books, miniature plastic charms that included musical instruments, toy guns, skulls, a wiener dog in a bun, and even two over-easy eggs in a skillet (but no biscuits and gravy). Those cheap prizes are actually collectors’ items now that
can be found on eBay, but for far more than the price of a box of Cracker Jacks. The prize always seemed to be at the bottom of the box, unless I opened the bottom of the box first, and then it was at the top. My solution to this problem was to pour the contents into a bowl and retrieve my prize quickly. No matter what I got, the surprise was a treat. I have made my mind up that I am going to drive through our favorite place next Saturday morning with a different attitude. I’m going to embrace the surprise. When they ask, “Would you like to try our new chocolate-chip cookie dough biscuit with bacon,” I will answer, “No, thank you, but thank you for asking again. I would like two of your breakfast surprises in a bag.” If, by chance, they
say, “Sir, we don’t have breakfast surprises in a bag,” I will politely reply, “Oh, but I beg your pardon. I have bought them here many times.” Sometimes in life, we order one thing, but are given something else. Sometimes, what we receive is actually better. At other times, it may be quite unpleasant and even painful. Sometimes we can do something about this and sometimes we should. At other times, we simply have to live with what we have been given. It could possibly be that a different attitude might help us to view things in a whole new light. That surprise could actually be a prize. Bill King is a religion columnist, author and comedian.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t push yourself past a certain point, especially when it comes to making a provocative decision. Others might Ă&#x201E;nd you to be unpredictable in general. Do not be surprised at some of the comments you are likely to hear. Tonight: Surround yourself with friends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Reach out to someone who often gives you a new perspective. Your day is marked by good luck, if you are willing to receive it. You gain unusual insight by detaching and becoming more of an observer. Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Could go till the wee hours. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Sorting through what is real and what is speculation might challenge you today. You know how to honor a fast change and get more of what you want by tapping into your creativity. A friend surprises you and catches you oÉ&#x2C6; guard. Tonight: Stay away from the crowds. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might be sick of a controlling person in your life. Slow down, and try not to react right away. Come from a more secure place before deciding how to handle this matter. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play into his or her manipulations. A boss or parent might surprise you. Tonight: A must show. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Get as much done as possible. You have the ability to use the right words at the right time, which helps to melt othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; resistance. You also have the ability to accept new ways of thinking and new insights. You will need to use that skill today. Tonight: Nap, then decide. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have what others seem to lack right now, which is a more optimistic perspective of what is happening around you. As a result, what is a boulder in someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path is only a pebble in yours. Use care with any risk-taking. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) An important matter needs to be handled, and if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take care of it, the issue will weave through the next few days. An associate continues to be too independent for your taste; try to rope him or her in before the situation gets worse. Tonight: The only answer is â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes.â&#x20AC;? SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Return calls, stay on top of emails and know what you want. You could have several discussions in which youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to reveal more of your inner self. Your nerves might be frayed, so take a timeout if you can, even if only for a short time. Tonight: Run some errands. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be aware of what is happening around you Ă&#x201E;nancially. Take a strong stance with your Ă&#x201E;nances and investments. You understand what you need to do, but you might be hesitant. Use your creativity when dealing with these matters. Tonight: Make it your treat. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Remain conĂ&#x201E;dent that you will achieve your goals and desires. Opportunities naturally seem to knock on your door. You might need to make some choices that you were not prepared to make. A family member is likely to shake up the status quo. Tonight: Make it easy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Know what is going on around you. How you view what you want could change radically in a day or so. Make no commitments, but entertain the possibility of many diÉ&#x2C6;erent options. How you express yourself might be quite unique and diÉ&#x2C6;erent. Tonight: You get a second wind. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Surround yourself with supportive friends who help you achieve what you want. First, make sure that your goals are still attainable. A close associate or loved one might discuss some key issues that are likely to surprise you. Use care Ă&#x201E;nancially. Tonight: Get some rest.

Tallassee softball 13-8 for season and 2-0 in area play By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
The Tallassee Lady Tigers have had a busy week, playing nine games in all. Four games were regular season games and six games were played in the softball tournament held in Shelby County over the weekend. The Lady Tigers began their week with a game against the Dadeville Tigers. During the game Tallassee put four runs on the board in the bottom of the third inning. The Lady Tigers managed another two runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. Another run was added to the scoreboard in the bottom of the fifth. In the bottom of the sixth inning Tallassee put another four runs on the board. Dadeville managed two runs in the top of the fourth inning and another point was added to the Dadeville score in the top of the sixth inning. The final score was 11-3, Tallassee. Haylee Osborne got the win for Tallassee with five strikeouts. Osborne only allowed three hits and three runs while on the mound for the Lady Tigers. L.A. Parker went 1-2 at bat, Lexi Love went 1-3 , Lulu Isbell went 1-2 and Jordan Walters went 2-3 at bat with one homerun and five RBIs for Tallassee. According to Head Coach Pat Love this was an important game for the Lady Tigers because the team learned a lot while on the field. “It was cold that night,” Love said. “That was the game that they found the elements. It can be tough when it’s cold. I’m proud of them for battling the elements. ” Following the game against Dadeville, the Lady Tigers set their eyes on Park Crossing. The team traveled to Montgomery to take on the Lady Thunderbirds. Walters got the win for the Tigers with seven strikeouts, allowing five hits and three runs. Osborne had two hits and three RBIs for the Tigers. Isbell and Ganashia Moore also had two hits for Tallassee. Kamme Parker had 3 RBIs. The
final score was 5-2. The Lady Tigers saw their first loss for the week in a game at Prattville Christian Academy. It was a back and fourth battle between the two schools but ultimately the Panthers would come victorious over the Tigers with a score of 5-6. Osborne was on the mound for the Tallassee. She had three strikeouts, allowed nine hits and gave up six runs. Chloe Baynes went 2-2 for the Tigers. Osborne went 1-1, Moore went 1-3 and Isbell went 1-2 for Tallassee. According to Coach Love, PCA is one of the best teams in competition and while the Tigers were defeated this was a good learning experience. “Prattville Christian Academy is one the tougher teams that will we will play,” Love said. “We got down three to one. Battled back and tied it three to three. Then we were ahead of them, five to three. Then they battled back in the sixth inning and beat us six to five. It was a good game and I was proud of the way we battled. That’s the competition that you want to face.” The Lady Tigers then traveled to Shelby County to paly in a tournament there this weekend. The lady Tigers finished in the top four of 16 teams competing in the tournament.

he year was 1987. I was a mild-mannered 11-year-old investigating the mysteries of fifth ANDY grade at Radney Elementary GRAHAM while President Ronald Sports Reagan determinedly fought Columnist the Cold War. It was a much simpler time with far, far less technology to overwhelm everyday life. Afternoons were spent riding my dirt bike, shooting basketball and playing Defender on the old Atari 2600. Auburn defeated Alabama 10-0 at Legion Field. The Indiana Hoosiers won the NCAA Tournament and Bob Knight’s 3rd (and final) championship. “The Bold and the Beautiful” debuted on CBS (don’t ask me how I know that). Iran-Contra was on the news practically every day. I’m still not quite sure what that was all about. “Three Men and A Baby” was the No. 1 move in America. “Fatal Attraction” was No. 2. I’m not judging, but something about that just seems odd. Every boom-box (if you don’t know what that is, ask someone with gray hair) was blaring “Walk like an Egyptian” by The Bangles and “Living on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi. The world was introduced to Homer Simpson. I went to the theater with my father and brother to see “Predator” and “RoboCop.” In hindsight, those movies could be considered inappropriate for an 11-year-old, but, again, it was a different time. While strolling down memory lane is always fun, there’s actually a point to all of this nostalgia. I previewed the Auburn Tigers baseball season a few weeks ago and talked about how the team had gotten off to a good 7-1 start. Well, SEC season began this past weekend and the Tigers jumped right into the fire hosting the No. 5 ranked Florida Gators. The Gators came into Plainsman Park struggling at the plate, but boasting one of the finest pitching staffs in the entire country. Auburn proved to be a very discourteous host and swept Florida right out of town. It’s the first time the Tigers have opened SEC play 3-0 since 2010 when they went 20-10 in conference (one of only two winning records in league play since 2000). It’s the first time Auburn has swept the Gators since, you guessed it, 1987. MLB Hall of Famer Frank Thomas and fan-favorite AU wide receiver Trey Gainous both played on that Tiger team. Auburn showcased a lot of promising attributes this past weekend. The offense exploded for 14 hits and 14 runs on Friday carving up several talented pitchers. The defense was on display Saturday turning double plays and robbing base hits in a 2-1 thriller. Sunday revealed the character and grit of Auburn’s squad coming from behind and winning in the bottom of the ninth 6-5. In all three games, the Tigers were outstanding on the mound. Keegan Thompson and Casey Mize pitched 13.1 innings in the first two games giving up only one earned run. Cole Lipscomb, Ryan Watson, Calvin Coker and Andrew Mitchell combined to pitch 9.2 innings on the weekend in relief also giving up only one earned run. AU head coach Butch Thompson is one of the most respected pitching coaches in the entire country. The Tiger staff is very talented, but obviously benefiting from his tutelage. This is the most promising start to a baseball season in many moons. It’s still very early, but a sweep of the Gators to start the year has raised a lot of eyebrows. Maybe it won’t take 30 more years to do it again. Andy Graham writes a regular sports column for Tallapoosa Publishers.
