icies that Mr. Biden and the mainstream media have pushed on the people of our state and nation. But what has set us apart here in Alabama Is how we have dealt with these challenges. We do not need to shut down our economy, small businesses and churches.” Ivey said Alabama was unlike states across the country who “submitted to the Biden administration’s dangerous vaccine mandates.” “Vaccine mandates do not have a place here in Alabama,” Ivey said. “From the moment the Biden White House tried to push this vaccine onto Americans by force, I made it very clear that Alabama is standing strong against this unconstitutional federal government overreach. His mandates are dead in Alabama. We sued him and we won.” Ivey said liberal education groups and media have tried to force the “racist un-American ideology” of critical race theory on Alabama schools. “Here in Alabama we banned it,” Ivey said. “Let me say that again. Critical race theory is dead in Alabama and it’s not coming back under my watch. In Alabama we believe in common sense. Com-

ments in the country,” Ivey said. “We have the lowest unemployment in our state’s history. We have created over 50,000 good paying jobs for our people. We have been able to receive some $25 billion worth of aid and business investment. That sort of resiliency is something we all should be very proud of.” Ivey said she has fought for election integrity and for the right to life. “We have fought to protect unborn babies with the strongest pro-life bill in the country because here in Alabama, we always stand for the sanctity of life,” Ivey said. During the pandemic, Ivey said she resisted the decisions to shut down Alabama. “We have fought to keep our schools, businesses and economy open,” Ivey said. “One thing every American in every state has had to encounter the past couple of years is to deal with the difficulties of the coronavirus pandemic. We have also had to deal with the consequences of the Biden administration’s failed leadership in Washington and the constant harmful pol-
mon sense says agenda is not determined by feelings but by biology. That is why I banned biological boys from competing in girls sports. It’s unbelievable to me that we even have to address this topic but that is the world we live in today.” Ivey said if reelected she would continue to take a fiscally conservative, small government approach towards the economy and fight for conservtive values. “It is my firm belief that the greatest days of our economy are ahead of us,” Ivey said. “Despite Washington D.C. trying to bend states like Alabama to fit their image, I’m proud to say with full confidence that they will be unsuccessful. That is because here in Alabama we have dedicated Republicans like each of you and we are going to keep that way. Republicans in Alabama are committed to fighting for ideals we all hold dear and through our unwavering resolve we are going to make sure we keep it that way.” Ivey is joined on the ballot in the May 24 Republican primary for governor by Lynda Blanchard, Lew Burdette, Stacy George, Tim James, Donald Jones, Dean Odle, Dave Thomas and Dean Young.

Congressional lines, congressmen will remain the same
F
or several years leading up to the 2010 Census count, the national projections were that Alabama would lose one of our seven congressional districts and drop to six. When the count was taken, we surprised ourselves and the nation and kept our seven seats in the United States Congress. Therefore, the legislature’s task in drawing our seven congressional districts was relatively easy. Except for some tweaking here and there due to growth in Madison, Limestone, Lee, Shelby and especially Baldwin counties, and the loss of population in the Black Belt, our congressional district lines were kept basically the same as they have been for the past few decades. We essentially have six of our seven districts that are safe Republican seats. We have one dedicated majority minority African American Democratic Congressional District. That Democratic seat is held by Congresswoman Terri Sewell. She has been in that seat for over a decade and has become a respected leader in the Democratic House leadership. The Democrats are in the majority which makes her a powerful member of the House. However, most political experts and polling indicates that this year’s election will bring a swing of 30 or more Republican seat pickups or takeovers, thus making the Republicans the majority party. This will be beneficial for Alabama since six of our seven seats are held by Republicans. It will be particularly beneficial to folks in the fourth district, who have Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) as their congressman. Aderholt is the most senior member of our delegation and is the ranking Republican on the House Appropriation Committee. Congressman Mike Rogers (R-Anniston) is also gaining ground in seniority. He is a ranking member of
STEVE FLOWERS Columnist the Armed Services Committee. Congressman Gary Palmer (R-Jefferson) represents the suburban areas of metro-Jefferson, Hoover and Shelby. It is considered one of the most Republican House districts in America. We have two freshmen Republican Congressmen, who are finishing their first two years in the House. Jerry Carl (R-Mobile) represents the coastal first district of basically Mobile and Baldwin Counties. He has taken to Congress like a duck to water. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) represents the second district made up of the Wiregrass and the fast-growing Pike Road area of Montgomery as well as the populous counties of Autauga and Elmore. All six of the aforementioned incumbents will be reelected without opposition. The only excitement in Congressional politics in the Heart of Dixie will play out in the fifth district. This Huntsville-Tennessee Valley seat is currently held by Mo Brooks, who has opted to run for the U.S. Senate, thus leaving a seldom seen open congressional seat contest. There are six Republicans vying for this open fifth district seat. The contestants are Dale Strong, Paul Sanford, Casey Wardynski, Harrison Wright, Andy Blalock, and John Roberts. Madison County Commission Chairman Dale Strong appears to be the strongest candidate. He is far outdistancing the field in polling and fundraising. Some say that he could eclipse the field without a runoff.
The most ardent challengers will be former State Senator Paul Sanford and former Huntsville City School Superintendent Casey Wardynski. Dr. Wardynski has done a good job fundraising. There will be a large turnout in this congressional race. In fact, this Huntsville-Madison-Limestone Tennessee Valley area of the state will more than likely have the largest percentage turnout in the state. Not only is there an open congressional seat, but Mo Brooks is the local candidate for the open U.S. Senate Seat, and popular, incumbent Republican state school board member, Wayne Reynolds, will also be on the ballot with token opposition. In addition, the only hotly contested Republican State Senate race between Tom Butler and Bill Holtzclaw is in the Madison-Limestone area. There are also three open hotly contested State House races, including filling the seats of Speaker Mac McCutcheon and veteran House member Howard Sanderford. There is also a hotly contested open sheriff’s race in Limestone County. Furthermore, the phantom candidate for the U.S. Senate, Mike Durant, claims Huntsville as his home. All these ingredients are a recipe for a larger turnout in the Tennessee Valley than the rest of the state on May 24. The Congressional lines and six of seven congressmen will remain the same for this 2022 election cycle. However, hold the phone. The federal courts could change that for 2024. See you next week.

VOICES shares facts, legislature provides help BY BETH CHAPMAN The legislative session just concluded and coincided with the release of VOICES for Alabama’s Children’s annual data book. The VOICES report indicated we have many more issues ahead that need attention. The research results provided by VOICES are not good. (But keep reading, help is on the way.) Too many children can’t read or perform math at grade level, and many of them are hungry and being abused in their own homes. Since 1994, VOICES for Alabama’s Children has provided extensive research on the conditions of our children and released its annual data book. The report documents and tracks the facts on the health, education, safety and economic security of Alabama children by county. VOICES’ data found there is only one mental health provider available for every 923 Alabamians. It pointed to research that shows unaddressed childhood trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) lead to lifelong chronic health issues. Those factors also can cause significant barriers to educational achievement and financial security.
Last year, less than 25 percent of our children were proficient in math. Data found that when it came to economic security, 24 percent of Alabama’s children live in poverty, and one in five of them are food insecure. In simple language, these children are hungry! When it comes to education of Alabama’s poverty-stricken fourth graders, only 38 percent are proficient in reading, and only 12 percent are proficient in math. In 2021, there were 3,453 children who entered foster care. An estimated 48 percent of those cases involved parental substance abuse use. And of course, there is child abuse involved in many of these homes as well. Our legislators have made tremendous investments toward improving these statistics, and they are to be commended for it. Those investments include: $17.8 million in quality childcare programs, $22 million more for First Class Pre-K (from 42-45 percent for 4-year olds), $1.5 million in first-time funding for summer and after-school pilot programs for K-12 students, $20 million in provisions of the Alabama Numeracy Act, $10 million in flexible grant funding for under resourced/underperforming schools,
$5 million for mental health pilot programs for youth and adolescents, $1 million increase for school-based mental health services collaborations and $4 million postpartum healthcare pilot program for new mothers. VOICES works on research, policy and advocacy. It strives to “ensure the well-being of Alabama’s children through research, public awareness, and advocacy. It partners with community leaders to encourage Alabama lawmakers to pass legislation beneficial to Alabama’s children.” I greatly commend VOICES for all it has done for years and for what it continues to do for Alabama’s children. It also educates the public on how we need to improve the well-being of our children’s lives. Great progress can be made to improve the lives of Alabama’s children. But legislators, and we as a society, must continue to be concerned if our children are learning, have access to three meals a day, and live in safe homes. We must be proactive to see that our children’s needs are met on a daily basis and our state’s needs will be met in the future, too. More details about the VOICES data report can be found at https:// alavoices.org/kids-count-data-maps/

JOHN A. TURES Columnist
Realism vs. Christianity during Easter
T
hroughout the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I’ve received several emails touting either realism, or a noted realist scholar. The sender usually adds some words of enthusiasm about the theory. It’s often because we hear little of the costs of following this path of power politics, especially as this this theory would treat Easter as a day without any special importance for our lives. Realism is one of the oldest theories of political science. Scholars often trace its origin to Greek historian Thucydides and his account of the “Melian Dialogue,” in his writings on the Peloponnesian War. As my students learn when the read the account, the tiny town of Melos insists they be allowed to be neutral in the conflict, rather than submit to powerful Athens. When faced with annihilation, the Melians appeal to their gods and the injustice of the Athenian position. The Athenians shrug off those arguments, with a “might makes right” counter-argument, and claims that the gods either don’t care, or will smile upon them if they win. Athens eventually does slaughter the Melians, which realists claim proves their point. In fact, whenever a stronger side crushes a smaller side, some adherents of power politics count those as a win for their theory. They seem to forget that Athens was wrecked during the Peloponnesian War, either showing God did take notice, or others saw the cruelty of Athenian actions and motivated them to fight harder, knowing what fate lay in store for them otherwise. Realist theorists count Machiavelli, Thomas Hobbes, and Von Clausewitz as their prophets. It’s an amoral theory, which claims that religious values just don’t matter, and shouldn’t be part of our foreign policy. Massacres are dismissed by quotes like those from General William T. Sherman, who claimed that “War is hell, and you cannot refine it.” It allows some to wash their hands of the conflict, and purport not to be responsible when an innocent life is faced with torture and brutal execution. It’s not my problem, they can say. “The strong do as they will, and the weak suffer what they must,” Thucydides wrote of the Athenian position. Certainly the weak could form alliances to strengthen themselves, and protect their lives, bonds formed around common political, economic, and perhaps even moral values. Those are countered by another realist politician, Prime Minister Lord Palmerston, who once remarked “England has no permanent friends or enemies, only permanent interests.” Perhaps no image could represent that better than Vladimir Putin at the end of a long table, powerful and alone. There’s no room for self-sacrifice, helping the weak, or standing for anything other than the acquisition of, and usage of, power. Atonement? Forgiveness? Those values are non-existent in realism. And in realism, power isn’t really reflective of anything spiritual. Only hard, tangible assets, land, instruments or war, money would count for value, not soft power or anything divine. It gives to Caesar what is Caesar’s, so to speak, not to God what is God’s. In a similar vein, Romans were able to execute Jesus. Nearly every Apostle and early disciple met some form of brutal martyrdom. “Lions 35 Christians 0” a friend wrote on the board once at my Catholic high school, in jest, of course. But who really won that conflict? Like the Athenians, the Romans had their day in the sun, but it came and went, while Christianity remains, having adherents across the globe, covering more territory than any Caesar could conquer.

Gender transitioning is not reasonable
W
hat is reasonable? Is it reasonable to help children as young as five years old transition their gender based on how they feel about themselves? That’s a question that has lit up the virtual ‘talkisphere’ the past few weeks. Some school districts and states have been teaching gender differences to very young elementary children. Florida recently passed a law prohibiting such sex education in grades K-3. Last week, New Jersey rolled out its new “gender identity” curricula for first and second grade students this fall. One lesson plan for second graders teaches children to identify at least four body parts from female and male reproductive organs. A prospective lesson plan for first graders asks students what gender they “feel” they are, and teaches they might be a little bit of both genders. Permanently transitioning a person’s gender for life is certainly a big deal. Giving a parent or a caretaker authority to transition a prepubescent child’s gender for life is an even bigger deal. How does such a change affect a person? We have little if any definitive answers to how such a change may affect a person over a lifetime. Nevertheless many activists, pundits and politicians boldly agree gender change
DANIEL GARDNER Columnist promotes good and positive mental health “for the children.” Gender transitioning at any age has leapfrogged well beyond any diagnosis of mental disorders. Education about gender transitioning is now in the hands of governing authorities from local school boards to state legislatures to federal bureaucracies, and will likely be decided by judges who are ill-equipped to rule on matters of biology. Elections have consequences. Closer to home, activists have infiltrated our schools teaching children about gender differences and “feelings” that sometimes contradict what parents say. Woke folks contend that teachers are experts in these matters and should have the freedom and authority to teach children what they need to know in times of misinformation particularly about values and morals. Who knows best what children need to learn? Well educated and degreed professional teachers, or parents who struggle with new math? Niche educational companies help teachers across the board by supply-
ing cartoons developed by curriculum specialists for K-3 classrooms to raise and answer interesting questions about our bodies and feelings. Search the Internet for companies like AMAZE.org to see actual videos teaching children about sex. Of course news media label parents’ concerns over exposing K-3 children to explicit sexual content as far rightwing conspiracies spun by white supremacist racists bent on returning America to the 1950s. They say parents are the problem, and that so-called traditional American values are nothing more than wishful thinking about how things used to be. The Biden administration and their woke partners in Congress, the federal bureaucracy, academia and the media have sailed far beyond the extreme left, broadcasting their idyllic views of life in America as they believe it should be, beginning with freedom to become anything that makes us feel good. Make no mistake, gender transitioning is a dangerous biological experiment based on a patient’s feelings and not on biological science. Its very premise is a lie. Neither XX nor XY chromosomes can be changed via surgery or hormone treatments. Gender transitioning is nothing less than physical abuse dressed up in woke ideology. Gender transitioning is not reasonable.

EASTER WORD FIND

Wetumpka Kidz Page
D O T S
Easter is a popular Spring holiday in the United States, and we will celebrate it this year on Sunday, April 17. Easter represents the new life and warm weather that are so often associated with it, although in some parts of the Country it may still be somewhat cold. Many people dress up in their finest clothes and go to Church on Easter Sunday, while many others have picnics and participate in community events like Easter egg hunts. Children love Easter for the fun that it brings. Kids are visited by the Easter Bunny who brings a basket of goodies each year. Eggs are dyed to look bright and colorful. Many Easter egg hunts are held for kids to enjoy. Today, we celebrate Easter because the Council of Nicaea declared in 325 A.D. that Easter would be celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full Moon that follows the Spring Equinox (the first day of Spring). This means that Easter can occur on any Sunday between the first day of Spring (which usually falls on March 21, except during a leap year when it falls on March 20) and April 25. That is why Easter sometimes comes earlier in some years than others. It is believed that the term Easter which we use today is derived from the Old High German word “eostarum” which, in turn, is derived from Latin and means “dawn.”

CACC STUDENTS COMPETING FOR NATIONAL TITLE
SUBMITTED / THE HERALD
Central Alabama Community College students Steven Ledbetter, Luther Walters and Jerry Miller pose with their instructors Ben Bailey and Pat Murphy.

The SMC HAS 200 Industry 4.0 system has been devised based on the training requirements in industries with a high level of automation and the most innovative Industry 4.0 technologies. “Versatility and attractive design allows the reproduction/emulation of real factory operation, thus allowing the student to be exposed to many different scenarios,” CACC said in a release. “The technologies used respond to the needs of the most diverse sectors in manufacturing.” Students will be exposed to an integrated system that teaches concepts related to a highly automated production system, focused mainly on the manufacturing execution system (MES). “We have the advanced manufacturing training equipment needed to train and educate our students for today’s manufacturing needs,” CACC president Jeff Lynn said. “We
are very excited about the opportunities this training system will provide for our students. We continue to grow and expand our offerings at our new Prattville campus. Workforce development is crucial to the growth of our state and we must continue to meet the needs and demands of our workforce partners. This is a major enhancement for our Prattville campus and we are just getting started.” Students can develop different projects, such as integration of a manufacturing execution system (MES), integration of a SCADA package and PLC configuration and/or programming. The SMC HAS 200 unit will provide specialized training on highly automated production systems and Industry 4.0 technologies. The system can work in stand-alone or integrated mode and the stations have a built-in conveyor belt which allows different types of physical configuration to be defined and implemented as well as a barcode reader to identify and track all of the products throughout the process. All of the stations also have a state-of-the-art PLC to control each station and SUBMITTED / THE HERALD integrate them with the higher supervision and Central Alabama Community College received a A SMC HAS-200 trainer for its Prattville campus this past week. It was installed and will now give students the opportunity to train for high level jobs in industry. management levels.

Holtville baseball sweeps Elmore County BY DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor The Holtville baseball team used strong pitching performances and some late game heroics to finish off a sweep of Elmore County in area play on Thursday night. Holtville beat Elmore County twice on Thursday, winning 6-5 in nine innings in Game 2 of the series and 4-3 in the final game, to finish off the sweep of Elmore County on the year. That comes after Holtville also one Game 1 on Monday, 6-3. Holtville, which has won five straight AHSAA Class 5A, Area 5 games, is now 21-5 and has a 5-1 area record. The Bulldogs now have complete control of their own fate and will clinch the area championship with two wins against Jemison next week. Elmore County, now 3-3 in the area, will place Marbury (4-2) next week and the Panthers must win the series to make
the playoffs. “Getting the first game was huge,” Holtville coach Scott Tubbs said. “That was really big and we needed to win that for region standings. We didn’t swing it particularly well, but we played good defense and gave ourselves a chance. I like the way we fight. We could be a little better, but I like the way we fight when we need to.” Holtville came from behind to win both games on Thursday. In the first game of the doubleheader, Elmore County led 5-4 in the bottom of the eighth inning , but the Bulldogs were able to load the bases with one out after two walks, a hit-by-pitch and a sacrifice bunt. After a batter struck out two leave the bases loaded with two outs, Todd Wilson stole home to tie the game, 5-5. The next batter struck out to send the game to the ninth inning. In the ninth inning, Mikey Forney

Ranking SEC Basketball Coaches W e have come to the close of another terrific college basketball season and this year’s Tournament has been very entertaining. Congratulations to the Kansas Jayhawks and to the South Carolina Gamecocks on their championships. Auburn will have their annual A-day this Saturday, but I’m going to do something this week I’ve never done before. I’m going to rank the men’s SEC basketball coaches. It’s totally subjective and actually pretty difficult. 1. John Calipari (Kentucky) – As much as I would like to rank someone else in the top spot, Calipari’s resume is just too impressive. 768 wins between UMass, Memphis and Kentucky. 12 Elite Eight, 6 Final Four, 2 run-
ANDY GRAHAM
Columnist ner-up & 1 Championship speaks for itself. He’s always had the most talented to work with, but that’s no longer the case. 2. Bruce Pearl (Auburn) – What he has done on the Plains is nothing short of remarkable. Pearl has 628 career wins and a Division II championship. Hopefully he can add to his monumental accomplishments of the next few years. I wouldn’t trade him for anyone in the
country. 3. Eric Musselman (Arkansas) – No one had been able to win consistently at Arkansas since Nolan Richardson, but that appears to have changed. Musselman spent 4 years winning at Nevada and has taken the Hogs to the Elite Eight in two of his first three years. 4. Rick Barnes (Tennessee) – With 35 years of experience at Providence, Clemson, Texas and now Tennessee, Barnes has 754 wins and has been to the Tournament 26 times. However, he only has one Final Four and two Elite Eight appearances. 5. Nate Oats (Alabama) – He took Buffalo to the Tournament three times See COACHES, Page B2

Wedding prices are ridiculous
O
ne of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever had to do is try to plan a wedding. Gillian and I are currently engaged. We have been dating since late 2015, and we’ve been engaged for about a year now. We had originally planned to get married earlier than this, a year after our engagement, but her law school and prep for the bar exam got in the way. But now we’re finally getting ready for the big day. We have a date set for October 15 and a venue selected in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. We’re excited for the big day. The ridiculous part, though? The freaking prices for this wedding stuff. Don’t get me wrong. We knew having a wedding was going to be expensive, but I guess I was just unaware at how expensive some of this stuff is. We got lucky and got a really nice venue for more on the cheaper side of things. It wasn’t cheap, but it was cheaper than some. We liked one place, and we had to quickly take it off the list because they wanted us to pay $18,000 for the venue. What the heck? Not a chance we would ever do that. And I’m not trying to criticize these places for charging this much. The only reason they charge this much stuff is because of the fact that people pay that much for them. More power to them. Get your money. But you won’t be getting that from us. I would never pay close to $20,000 for just a venue for one day. That wasn’t even adding in all of the other things we have to pay for. So we found another place. It’s probably just as nice and beautiful, and it wasn’t even close to that same level of price range. Enough about the venue. Let’s move on to the photographer. This one was on me. I think I was very ignorant about the prices of wedding photographers, and I was more than shocked to find out how much they cost. We have ours booked up. She does great work, and when you can do great work like she does, you can charge
DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor that much. But I remember one day I was on Xbox playing with some buddies, and in our party were four people. Two of which were married and two of us that are engaged. So we got to talking about photographers. I ignorantly said something along the lines of how I didn’t plan to pay more than around $2,000 for a wedding photographer. This was before I knew how expensive they were. I was quickly corrected by the other people in the party, and they set me straight. After berating me for a few minutes, I stopped the conversation. Later, when Gillian and I started looking at photographers, I realized we would be paying more than that. It wasn’t an awful price, but it was more than expected. We’ve done a pretty good job of shopping around for some of the cheaper options. We aren’t going super cheap on everything, but some things can be worked around. We’ve got most of everything booked now. We have our venue, our photographer, our caterer, her dress, and some other things booked. Now we have some of the smaller stuff. When we started looking at the total prices of things, we both joked that we might as well just elope. But it was just a joke. I don’t mind doing something really small, as long as I leave the day married to Gillian. But I am excited for the actual wedding. It’s going to (hopefully) be a beautiful day, and I cannot wait to be married and celebrate with all my friends and family. This was more of a rant column than anything, because wedding prices are stupid. But I’m excited. October 15 cannot get here fast enough.

walked, stole second base, then scored on a walkoff single from Braxton Potts, to win 6-5. In the second game, Elmore County led 3-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning, and just needed three outs to salvage a win in the series. Holtville, however, had other plans. Randy Davis singled to right field to start the inning, then a walk put two runners on. After both runners advance to scoring position after a wild pitch, both runs came across to score on a play with both a fielding error and throwing error in the infield. Sam Silas stood on second base after hitting into the error, then he came around to score the game-winning run on a walkoff single by Tanner Potts. “I think their fight says a lot about their character,” Tubbs said. “There’s not a whole lot of quit in them. Sometimes I wonder about their focus, but they don’t quit and they work hard. They know at any moment, the game can change. We manufactured some runs and it was kind of a big deal for our guys. It says a lot going into the next series and possibly playoffs.” While the hitting was inconsistent for the Bull-

dogs for much of the series, Holtville was able to rely on exceptional games from all of the pitchers that Tubbs put on the mound. In Game 1, Tanner Potts pitched six innings and allowed three runs on six hits while striking out five batters. He earned the win while Wilson came in to close the game and earned the save with two strikeouts. In Game 2, Wilson started and pitched eight innings. He allowed 14 hits and five runrs, but struck out six batters and kept his team in the game. Senior Kason Shaffer came in and pitched one inning and earned the win after the walkoff. Drey Barrett pitched

in his four seasons and now has gotten Alabama there twice in three seasons. He’s one of the younger coaches in the league, but already has an SEC regular-season and tournament title. He could be moving up the list quickly. 5. Buzz Williams (Texas A&M) – Williams went dancing with Marquette five times and three times with Virginia Tech. He has yet to break through with the Aggies, but it seems only a matter of time. I think he has a lot in common with Bruce Pearl including the ability to sweat through a suit. 7. Mike White (Georgia) – He seems to be an example of a guy that has great success at a lower level school, but only moderate success at
Game 3 and allowed only four hits and two runs, both unearned, in six innings of work. He struck out six Elmore County batters. Once again, Shaffer entered late in the game and was given the win after the walkoff. “This series, I thought all three pitchers were very efficient,” Tubbs said. “They worked ahead in counts and were not behind in counts a lot. Tanner threw 80 something pitches, while Todd through a little over 100 and Drey threw about 90. All three of them gave us a chance, and Kason did a great job coming in and closing for us both games. It’s kind of neat when you can come in and get two wins in one day in relief.”
a big-time program. He’s always going to win around 20 games year, but hasn’t shown the ability to be a true title contender. 8. Jerry Stackhouse (Vanderbilt) – Stackhouse inherited a program in shambles and is attempting a major rebuild. It’s been a slow process, but I do believe he is making progress. Next year could be a pivotal one for his tenure in Nashville. 9. Kermit Davis (Ole Miss) – In 16 years at Middle Tennessee he won five conference titles. He definitely knows the X’s and O’s, but I’m not sure his ability to recruit is on par with his contemporaries. After four years he is 64-61 in Oxford. There are five new coaches joining the league in 2022 – Todd Golden (Florida)… Matt McMahon (LSU)… Chris Jans (Miss State)… Dennis Gates (Missouri)… Lamont Paris (South Carolina)

Victims of storms should be on guard against fraud STAFF REPORT TPI Staff Following the damaging storms last week, homeowners are seeking help to clear their property or repair their homes. The Home Builders Licensure Board is warning homeowners to be on the lookout for fraudulent contractors who may be looking to stuff pockets with money from victims. The Home Builders Licensure Board maintains an official list of 2022 licensed residential homebuilders for the state and urges victims to check the list before doing business with a homebuilder or remodeler. The
board’s website (www.hblb.alabama.gov) contains a wealth of information to help protect Alabama’s consumers from dishonest or unqualified contractors. The state homebuilders and remodelers license is required when the cost of the job is more than $10,000. The state roofers license is required when the cost of a roofing job is more than $2,500. Consumers are encouraged to seek out licensees of the board even if the scope of the work is less than $10,000 or $2,500 for a roof. Executive Director, J.R. “Chip” Carden, cautions homeowners, who experience damage from the Tornado that caused
damage in multiple areas of central and south Alabama and emphasizes the importance of the consumer knowing about the potential problems of contracting for homebuilding and remodeling with unlicensed contractors. “Do your homework,” Carden said. “Call any references the builder gives you and check with the Board to confirm if a builder is licensed and in good standing. Don’t be in a rush. A bad decision now can make a difficult situation even worse.” The board outlined steps consumers should take when working with a builder: • Ask if they are licensed and ask to see the card. The HBLB
license is credit card-sized license – a sample is listed on HBLB’s website. You may check on a builder’s license status by calling 1-800-304-0853, or by visiting www.hblb.alabama.gov. • Ask for and check references, especially if the builder makes unsolicited contact with you or is from out-of-town. • Make sure quotes and contracts are in writing. Under state law, licensed homebuilders must use a written contract. Make sure it includes the contractor’s full name, address, telephone number, a description of the work to be performed, starting and estimated completion dates,
and the total cost of the job. The contract must be signed by all parties. • Never make a full payment or substantial down payment up front. Do not make a final payment until you are satisfied, and all subcontractors have been paid. If they tell you that more money is needed in advance, be wary. • Ask for proof of insurance, including workers compensation and general liability. For information contact the Home Builders Licensure Board, 445 Herron Street, Montgomery, Alabama 36104, (334) 2422230 or 1-800-304-0853 or www.hblb.alabama.gov.

Humane Society of Elmore County News – 11 Apr ‘22 By REA CORD Executive Director This is National Animal Control Officer (ACO) Appreciation Week, and we ask everyone to thank and acknowledge the important job our ACO’s do for our communities. Each of our towns and the county are lucky enough to have ACO’s dedicated to enforcing state and local animal related laws, helping animals in need, protecting the health and safety of people, and resolving issues involving animals. ACOs are important to public safety as they interact with people and animal alike, often in risky situations involving injured, scared or aggressive animals. Animal Control Officers today deal with far more than just stray dogs as they respond to animal bite/attack cases, mediate disputes between neighbors over animal issues, round up loose livestock that have gotten out of pastures, investigate animal cruelty and neglect cases, help injured animals get to care, work with other law enforcement when animals are involved in larger criminal cases, etc. All areas of Elmore County have a containment law for dogs and Wetumpka & Tallassee add to that with a “leash law” for cats. City noise ordinances and barking dogs often present challenges and some towns have limits on the number of pets in city zoning ordinances. And some, but not all of our cities restrict livestock within city limits. Our Animal Control Officers are dedicated professionals who deserve respect from the public they serve – some have attended specialized animal control training at the state and national level to learn about things like safe capture techniques, animal identification, disease issues, legal issues, investigative techniques, court proceedings, rabies control, public education, wildlife and exotics, and so much more. Animal issues often put them in harm’s way from both animals and people and their call volume often means they have to triage cases to deal with the most serious, or potentially serious, the quickest. So please understand that their call volume often greatly exceeds their ability to get to some calls immediately. So please help us thank all of our Animal Control Officers as they work to help animals and people alike.

After winning the inaugural competition in 2021, Auburn University’s Campus Food Pantry has joined the SEC Food Fight for a second year.
Auburn looks to defend SEC Food Fight title Conference competition highlights food insecurity on college campuses By SHERYL CALDWELL Special to TPI After winning the inaugural competition in 2021, Auburn University’s Campus Food Pantry has joined the Schools of the Southeastern Conference, or SEC, Food Fight for a second year to raise funds, food and hygiene items and awareness of the need on college campuses. From April 8-21, the Auburn Family can support the Campus Food Pantry in the fight against food insecurity and help Auburn beat its SEC rivals. “The SEC Food Fight was created because all of our campus food pantries struggle to get donations at times,” said Sarah Grace Kaschak, Auburn Cares coordinator. “I think especially following the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen an increase in need and a decline in donations.”
As the reigning champion, Auburn is the favorite to bring home the title again this year, but even more, Kaschak hopes the drive will fill the food pantry’s shelves. “Food insecurity on Auburn’s campus affects about one in three students. So, it is definitely a prevalent issue here,” she said. “The SEC Food Fight is a great opportunity for us to remind people that the food pantry serves a vital need on campus and that we need their help to continue meeting that need.” Auburn’s food pantry has been on campus since 2011 but recently relocated to a central location in Lupton Hall, increasing ease of access and awareness among students. “We’ve seen a dramatic uptick in student traffic since we moved, which is wonderful,” Kaschak said. “That means students who need us are finding us more easily, but it
also means we’re having even more difficulty keeping the shelves full.” Although the SEC Food Fight highlights the issue of food insecurity with a good-natured conference competition, the Campus Food Pantry battles this issue yearround. “Our ultimate goal during the SEC Food Fight, and throughout the year, is to engage with the entire Auburn Family on the issue of food insecurity,” Kaschak said. “We want students in need to feel safe and comfortable seeking help, and we hope the Auburn Family will continue partnering with us as we combat this issue on our campus. We can’t do it without them.” To support the Campus Food Pantry in the SEC Food Fight, go here. Food and hygiene items can also be dropped off at the Auburn Cares office in the Melton Student Center.
