Property crimes – burglary, larceny and theft – saw a sharp increase in Tallapoosa County in 2015, but the rate at which those crimes were solved was also up and far above the national average. Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett released crime stats for 2015 that are mandated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for their annual Uniform Crime Statistics report. The numbers show that while property crimes were
up, many violent crimes were down in Tallapoosa County. “Unfortunately we have crime in our county and the spike in burglaries is one that is hard not to notice,” Abbett said. “We had two separate groups who came from outside our county and were involved in several break-ins at properties in the lake community. The fortunate thing is that we were able to make arrests in those cases, which often times in burglaries doesn’t happen.” Burglaries saw the largest jump, going See CRIME • Page 3
Tech Center receives major FANUC certification
Legislature moves to give teachers raises
By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

The Edward Bell Career Technical Center has been certified as a FANUC Training Center in an effort to supply a workforce that can work with the robots in area industries. “We are a certified education FANUC Training Center,” Tech Center Director Gerry Moses said. “We are also certified in the vision too. We are the only school in the state with both certifications.” The certifications are based on the training and application process completed by Tech Center Instructor Madison Brooks. “She went to training over the summer,” Moses said. “We also had to send in a syllabus and get it approved,” Brooks said. “We also had to produce a video. We started the application in December and were certified in January.” The certification is impressive considering how See CERTIFICATION • Page 3
Alabama Legislature appears poised to pass an education budget that will raise teacher salaries by four percent. On Thursday, the Senate passed its version of the education budget by a 30-0 vote. In March, the House passed the education budget by a 105-0 vote and a pay raise bill by a 104-0 vote. The four percent raise affects all public education employees in K-12 and two-year colleges who make less than $75,000 annually. Public education employees in K-12 and the two-year colleges who make more than $75,000 a year will receive a two percent raise. The House Ways and Means Education committee, chaired by Rep. Bill Poole of Tuscaloosa, will meet Tuesday to discuss its response and recommendations to the full House on the Senate version of the budget. Rep. Mark Tuggle of Alexander City, who sits on Poole’s committee, said it will work to maintain the raises for the public K-12 and two-year college employees. “The education budget, including teacher pay raises, started in the House,” Tuggle said. “The Senate has made changes to our proposed budget and

CACC students earn science internship opportunities By DAVID GRANGER Staff Writer
Thanks to the efforts of young professors like Jeremy Carr, interest in the sciences is alive and well at Central Alabama Community College. In fact, six CACC students have been selected for prestigious National Science Foundationsponsored internships, five at the University of Alabama and one at the University of Mississippi. Lydia Hammond of Alexander City, Kallie Beall of Jasper, Moses Torelli of Central, South Carolina and Devin Capell and Carolyn Jones, both
of Eclectic, were all chosen for Robert Noyce summer internships at the University of Alabama. Justin Weeks, also from Eclectic, was chosen for the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of Mississippi. Noyce, the namesake of the UA internships, founded Intel and is known as the “Mayor of Silicon Valley.” The internships are designed to increase the number and diversity of graduating teachers certified in chemistry, physCliff Williams / The Outlook ics and mathematics. “This is a terrific group CACC summer internship recipients are, left to right, Devin Capell, Carolyn Jones and Justin Weeks, all of Eclectic, Lydia Hammond of Alexander City and, far right, Moses Torelli.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 17 and have been in a relationship since I was 13 with the same person on and off. I have been with him since my parents divorced, so you might say he’s been my crutch for a long time. He makes it clear that without him I am an emotional mess. I spend every day isolated from friends and family, while he spends his time with his friends. (I’m not allowed to be with them.) If I’m out with a friend, it is a huge issue. I love him and I don’t want to break up, but it feels like I’m alone even when I’m with him. I’m sick of letting a man make me feel like he’s my reason for being alive. I want better. I deserve better. I am so confused. Please help me. -DESERVES BETTER IN NEW YORK DEAR DESERVES BETTER: I am crossing my fingers and hoping that you are still living with one of your

DEAR ABBY: I am a postal worker. With wedding and graduation seasons fast approaching, please pass along some suggestions to your readers: Before addressing envelopes, please make sure your address books are up to date. We do everything in our power to make sure all mail gets to where it is supposed to be, but you’d be shocked how often it’s addressed to someone who moved many years ago -- or worse, is deceased. Be sure to include the recipient’s last name and try not to use nicknames. If the address is off by a little bit, a last name on the envelope is sometimes helpful. You might think everyone knows Uncle Bob as born on July 9, 1980 in Sylacauga, Alabama to Jerry Whetstone and Sandra C. Ledbetter. Kevin never met a stranger and was always upbeat. He loved spending time with his boys, taking them for rides on the golf cart and going to Burger King to eat. He is survived by his sons, Gage Whetstone, Bradlee Sims, Kayne Whetstone; father, Jerry (Kim) Whetstone of Daviston; mother, Sandra C. (Dallas) Ledbetter of Daviston; sister, Kim (David Eckstrand) Cobb; brother, Cliff Whetstone; nephews, Mason Cobb, Ronnie Tucker; niece, Alyssa
“Moose.” But as carriers, unless we know the recipient personally, we only know his or her proper name. And don’t forget to include your return address on the envelope so if it can’t be delivered, you’ll know the recipient didn’t receive it. That way, you won’t think that “Aunt Ann” didn’t want to attend or have her think she wasn’t invited. And last but not least, be sure to have proper postage on the envelope! Often, due to the size or thickness of an invitation, extra postage is needed. I hope this will help your readers. -- MICHIGAN MAIL CARRIER DEAR MAIL CARRIER: So do I!

Opportunity of students who all share an interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education, particularly at the middle school and secondary levels,” said Carr, a CACC chemistry professor who also serves as the college’s UA Noyce internship liaison. “I think the internship will give them a great opportunity to explore their interests while gaining exposure to some pretty awesome universitylevel science experiences. I know they’ll proudly represent CACC while they’re in Tuscaloosa this summer.” In addition to learning what it’s like to be an educator in a STEM field, Carr said, each of the five Noyce participants will receive a small stipend, live on the UA campus and will have the opportunity to earn a $32,000 scholarship. He says nonNoyce participants are also eligible, but participants have the advantage of “showcasing their talents in front of the decisionmaking professors.” Jones, who credits her high school teachers and the possibility of the unknown for her interest in science, sees the Noyce internship as opening up more doors to her future in teaching the sciences. “I’m very excited,” Jones said. “This will open a lot of doors for a lot of things. Plus, it will look great on an application.” “It’s a great program,” added Capell. “There are actually dates built in where we get to go into a classroom and help middleschool kids learn science.” The selection process for the Ole Miss REU program was extremely competitive, according to Carr. Typically, REU programs admit juniors and seniors who plan to become graduate students. Community college students are often an afterthought. Still, Weeks was selected for the program – for which he will receive a $5,000 stipend, housing, meals and travel assistance
Crime from 71 in 2014 to 105 in 2015. That represents a 32 percent increase, but as many as 30 of those were in two separate sprees by suspects that have been apprehended. Stats show that 54 of those 105 burglaries were solved by arrests. That is a clearance rate of 51.43 percent. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, burglaries are solved at a rate of just 13.6 percent nationally. In 2014, officials here had just a 28.17 percent clearance rate for burglaries. “Like I said, the bad news is that we have had a rise in property crime,” Abbett said. “The good news is that we are doing a pretty good job at solving those crimes. That is a testament to the hard work of our officers, investigators and the cooperation of other agencies and the community itself.” Statistics show that the value of the items stolen in 2015 in Tallapoosa County was $791,496. That’s up from the $503,103 in property that was reported stolen in 2014. Drug cases were also up in 2015. The

– as a freshman. Weeks, who would like to attend pharmacy school at Auburn, will work with Gregory Tschumper’s research group in the field of computational chemistry, a field which enables scientists to use computers to solve chemistry problems for things like pharmaceutical development. “These REU programs are fantastic opportunities for college students,” said Carr, who serves as Weeks’ faculty advisor. “In addition to adding the experience to their resume, students get a first-hand view of cutting-edge research and gain an understanding of what it takes to become a successful scientist. I know that Justin will come back to Alexander City in the fall fired up and ready to gain a deeper understanding of the sciences.” Weeks, who said he has always been interested by math and science, is grateful for the opportunity. “This is the greatest opportunity I’ve ever had,” Weeks said. “I was sitting in class and Dr. Carr asked me to come see him. Someone had dropped out and they asked me if I was still interested in going to Ole Miss. I was shaking, I was so excited.” The six Noyce and REU participants this year are six more than CACC had last year. Carr credits the students. The students credit Carr. “Dr. Carr really pushed me,” said Hammond. “He really believed in me and had faith in me. I’m really thankful that he pushed me and helped me get this opportunity.” But why science? Maybe Torelli said it best. “Culture in general,” said Torelli, who now lives in Dadeville. “A lot of people’s main motivation is to improve the human condition. I just want to leave the world a better place when I’m gone.”

the committee is in the process of analyzing those changes. The will of the House is to maintain the pay raises for K-12 and two-year personnel. “I feel confident the budget will go to a conference committee of both chambers for reconciliation.” Alexander City’s T.C. Coley, Alabama Education Association UniServ director for Tallapoosa, Bullock, Macon and Russell counties, said AEA is pleased with the inclusion of the pay raises in the education budget. “We’re excited as an association to see them pass a bill that includes a pay raise for public education employees,” Coley said. “This is the first time since 2008 that they’ve passed a budget when there had not been off-setting increases to the costs of benefits. We’re pleased that the legislature has seen fit to reward our classroom teachers, bus drivers, custodians, teachers’ aides – all of those people we trust our most precious
Certification long the school has had the FANUC robot. “This is the first year of the program,” Moses said. Wednesday, students were operating and programming the robot and have already used other equipment in the industrial electronics and automation lab to make parts used by the robot. “The students are using the robot and its vision to sort parts,” Brook said. “They were using Legos to start with. Then I made them make similar blocks using the 3-D printer. My students are writing full programs now.” Learning to program the robot is only one thing students can learn. “With robots, there are a lot of options,” Brooks said. “When I went to classes, there were maintenance

resource, our children, to every day.” The 2013 education budget was the most recent budget that included a pay raise for teachers. But that two percent increase was offset by increases in the out-of-pocket costs of certain benefits to the employees. Rick Jones, a member of the local AEA chapter and a teacher at Benjamin Russell, said the raise was appreciated, but overdue. “I’m extremely grateful for the increase, but, I tell you what, it’s long overdue,” said Rick Jones, a career prep teacher at Benjamin Russell and vice president of the Alexander City Schools chapter of AEA. “It’s been quite a while since we got a raise that we actually realized and I appreciate the legislature doing what needed to be done. It’s not a done deal yet, but it looks like it’s going to happen and I want to thank Rep. Tuggle and Sen. Whatley for all their efforts on our behalf.”

workers trying to gain a better understanding of how they work so they could manage repairs around them.” Brooks says there is another advantage to the robots, especially for those interested in other areas. “Even if you don’t go into robots, it is a good for those wanting to go into coding,” Brooks said. “You can easily see the end product.” The lab was paid for in part through a $354,000 grant and is something Moses is proud of. “We are proud of it,” Moses said. “It has become a model of sorts. We have had other schools come visit and see how it works. I think it is pretty neat that students in Tallapoosa County have access to this kind of technology.”

number of incidents went from 135 in 2014 to 205 in 2015. Those numbers represent a 34 percent increase. Again, the TCSO did an incredible job in clearing the drug crimes. Of the 205 incidents, 194 were cleared with an arrest for a clearance rate of 94.63 percent. “More incidents mean that we are doing a better job of detecting possession and drug activity through the work of investigators and the Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force,” Abbett said. “That even goes down to the deputies who detect drugs on traffic stops and in serving warrants.” Rapes and aggravated assault were down in 2015. After having nine forcible rapes in 2014, the number fell to just two in 2015. Investigators made arrests in both of those cases. Aggravated assaults fell from 10 to seven from 2014 to 2015. “Nationally, rape is solved at about 39 percent and here we were able to make both of the confirmed cases that we had,” Abbett said.

Our
Opinion Raises for state educators are long overdue
I
t appears Alabama’s public school teachers will receive a 4 percent pay raise when this year’s education budget is signed by the governor. The raise is long overdue. Though teachers received a 2 percent increase in 2013, those additional wages were largely offset by increases in the amounts teachers were required to pay for certain benefits. The last pay raise for which teachers saw a real increase came in 2008. Eight years is a long time. Eight years is many long hours in our public school classrooms, which are becoming more and more demanding. While there are bad apples in every bunch, the large majority of Alabama’s public school teachers are hard-working and dedicated to making sure our children are prepared for college or their careers. Many, the lack of a raise notwithstanding, often dip into their own pockets to buy supplies for classrooms that school systems can’t afford. That’s how much they care about our kids. If you’re lucky, you only need an attorney once or twice in your lifetime, yet they are richly rewarded for what they do for us – and rightly so. Every child in this state needs a teacher every day, yet it’s been eight years since we’ve seen fit to increase teacher wages. Granted, our state has been through some tough fiscal times and we’re not completely out of our financial woods yet. Our teachers have realized that and they’ve been patient. Hard-working, reliable, generous and patient. What more can you ask of them? And what better reason to reward them now, when we can. We applaud our legislature for passage of the education budget and for recognizing that it was time that our teachers received what they are due. We only hope that those same legislators will become better stewards of our limited state funds so that the state doesn’t remain in such dire financial straits that it’s eight years before we can afford – and see fit – to reward those who have such a tremendous daily impact on the children of Alabama. They were taught better than that.

On political judgment and flying wallets
L
ook! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s … it’s … it’s … the governor’s wallet?!? The hits just keep on coming from Alabama’s esteemed Gov. Robert Bentley. The latest? A state helicopter was used to fly the governor’s wallet to him at his Fort Morgan home after he forgot it when he stormed out of a tiff with ex-wife Dianne over his refusal to end his relationship – whatever it may have been – with Rebekah Caldwell Mason, his former senior policy adviser. Folks, I’ve always been proud to be an Alabamian. I was born and bred here. I’ve lived through George Wallace’s racial rants and Guy Hunt’s ignorance. Never has an Alabama governor made me want to hide my head in shame like Gov. Robert Bentley. Our governor, elected on a platform of family values, has: • Divorced his wife of 50 years for a relationship with an advisor almost 30 years his junior. • Personally – in the flesh! – purchased burner (disposable) phones at Best Buy, presumably for the purpose of having untraceable conversations with Ms. Mason. • Been recorded bemoaning his absence from Mason like an adolescent child bemoaning his separation from his
DAVID GRANGER Staff Writer
eighth-grade sweetheart. • Had the audacity to chide reporters who have asked him about the relationship with, “Did you hear what I just said?” like some dictatorial father. • And, now, it’s been found out that he ordered state law enforcement officials to airlift his wallet, forgotten in a sanctimonious gubernatorial huff, to rendezvous with him at his Gulf Coast home. Must have needed that credit card to drop by Best Buy for more burners, I’m guessing. I don’t like the word “idiot” and I won’t use it here. But I am tempted. Let’s take the governor’s Best Buy shopping sprees, for example. Granted, the Best Buy in question was located in Tuscaloosa, a city that is – was? – friendly to the governor. Still, if mine is one of the most recognizable faces in the state and I’m in need of burner phones to talk to my “Baby,” I think that’s a task I delegate. Why not find that staffer that feels overlooked, ignored and say, “Sally, I have a very important job I need you to do for me.” Makes
her feel good and you’re not running the risk of being recognized on an errand to buy equipment necessary to pursue your tryst. Just watch Sally, feeling needed by the governor (!), walk, smiling, out the door. Then sit back, relax and wait for your cache of phones. It’s that easy. But, nooOOoo. Ol’ Robert goes traipsing into Best Buy himself, probably in a suit, shaking hands with all who approach him – maybe even an autograph or a selfie sprinkled in. “Yes, yes, uh, what’s your nametag say? Frank! Yes, Frank, I’m the governor. Now, I need six burner phones.” Frank may be a member of the Geek Squad, but you better believe he’s going to remember he sold disposable cell phones to the governor. Probably told his friends about it often over games of “Call of Duty.” And that selfie? Right to Instagram! All I’m saying here is that I value judgment in my elected officials. Our governor has, time after time, shown little. It’s not our fault. He talked a good game. I mean, he wasn’t going to accept a salary! What a guy, right? And speaking of guys, remember Guy Hunt? Man, those were the days! David Granger is a staff writer for The Outlook.

Today’s
Seeing through the eyes of faith
T
his world is getting weirder and weirder. I saw on the national news where a lady found a deformed peanut M&M with the face of Jesus on it and she was now showing it as though it was on the order of divine revelation. I’m just glad John on the Isle of Patmos didn’t have to depend upon candy for his inspiration. Then again, an M&M is always a good place to start so I’m presently looking through my jar of M&Ms for a revelation. I think the Lord has revealed to me that I don’t have to eat them as I look. I just hope He reveals where I left my Rolaids. On this theme of weirdness do you remember a few years ago the lady in New Mexico finding an image of the Virgin Mary on a taco shell? People for miles around came and lit candles to this burnt pastry shell. Now I’ll admit that when I’ve eaten too many spicy tacos I’ve seen images in my nightmares. However, the things that chased me all night didn’t resemble the Madonna. No sir, those things play on the other team. The last time I was in Jerusalem I visited Caiaphas’ house where Jesus was imprisoned before going to Pilate. Supposedly there is an image
GERALD HALLMARK Guest Columnist
of Christ on the dungeon wall. To tell you the truth, I looked at that wall from every possible angle and I ain’t seen nothing to this day! But, because I didn’t want to look unperceptive I agreed with everyone that the image was as plain as day. What was even weirder was that archeologists weren’t even sure that location was Caiaphas’ house. I once saw the Shroud of Turin and that thing is not only weird, but spooky because it had a negative image of a man that had been crucified. After looking at that image for a while I was ready to light a candle and offer up my M&Ms on the altar. I even did penance and swore off of spicy tacos for a while. If that image had been on the wall at Caiaphas’ house I might have joined a monastery right then and there. People have always wanted to see so that they can believe. Jesus reminded the disciples that the people that believed without needing visible proof
were blessed. The truth is we are no different from those men of old. In our scientific age we demand proof and reasonable explanations of everything. It is truly a difficult time to walk by faith and not sight when we are so use to looking everything up on the Internet, isn’t it? History is replete with people claiming to have seen images and visions of Biblical characters. These revelations are an affirmation of faith for many; however, the scriptures tell us we will see Jesus face to face on His return. So it isn’t these suspicious visions we need to concern ourselves with, but the ultimate revelation of Christ when He returns in glory. Then our seeing will be from our believing and our believing will be in our seeing. Ok, I’ve sorted through two pounds of M&Ms and found maybe one piece that might have an image. After looking it over again I decided it looked more like Captain Kangaroo, so I ate it. Maybe all that sugar will give me a revelation later today.

Dadeville First Baptist Church to host showing of ‘Woodlawn’ By DAVID GRANGER Staff Writer
In 1973, Birmingham was a city just a decade removed from the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church by Ku Klux Klansmen that killed four young black girls. Alabama’s largest city was also removed from the fire hoses of Bull Connor that tried to discourage blacks marching for their civil rights in the same decade. But Birmingham was just beginning the desegregation of some of its public schools, including Woodlawn High School, where head coach Tandy Gerelds turned to his belief in God to help keep his integrated team together through the things that were happening around them and the battles on the field. That’s the backdrop of the movie “Woodlawn,” which looks at the 1973 and 1974 Colonels squads. The movie, based on the book by Todd Gerelds, will be shown at Dadeville First Baptist Church on Sunday at 3 p.m. and Gerelds will be on hand to talk about it. “It’s a story Todd lived,” said Bubba Gibson of Dadeville First Baptist’s Men’s Ministry. “His father was the coach at Woodlawn at that time. It’s the story of the racial challenges of the early 70s that took place there and at other places. It’s about how the football team reached a racial harmony and had a spiritual awakening.” The star of the ’73 and ’74 Woodlawn teams was running back Tony Nathan, who went on to a stellar career at the University of Alabama and in the NFL with the
Miami Dolphins. Nathan is played in the movie by Caleb Castille, the son of former Alabama All-American Jeremiah Castille. The 1973 Woodlawn team finished 8-2, losing its season opener, 7-3, to Ensley and losing 17-7 to the Banks Jets and Nathan’s future Alabama teammate quarterback Jeff Rutledge, who also played in the NFL with the New York Giants, Los Angeles Rams and Washington Redskins. Banks went on to beat Huntsville’s Grissom High, 21-0, for the state title. Following the season, Nathan and Rutledge were both named first-team All-State by The Birmingham News and All-Southern by The Orlando Sentinel. Nathan was named a Parade All-American. In ’74, Nathan’s senior season, the star running back rushed for more than 1,400 yards as the Colonels ripped off eight consecutive wins to begin the season before their rematch with Banks. Again, the Jets bested Woodlawn, 18-7. Banks went on to lose to eventual state champion Homewood, 12-0, in the second round of the state playoffs. Following the 1974 season, both Nathan and Rutledge were named All-Americans by Parade and Coach & Athlete and, each for the second consecutive year, All-Southern by The Orlando Sentinel and first-team All-State by The Birmingham News. Gibson said Todd Gerelds was approached by the Erwin Brothers, Andrew and John, and asked if they could make the book into a movie. “Todd asked them, ‘A movie about what book?’” Gibson said. “It was
one of those unusual things where the book was written so they could make the movie. I think Todd worked with Mark Schablach of ESPN to write it and he’ll talk about that experience and about the movie and the events it’s based on when he’s here on Sunday.” One person who will likely be in attendance on Sunday is Benjamin Russell High School principal Anthony Wilkerson, an old college buddy of Todd Gerelds. “We were both athletic trainers at Jacksonville State University,” said Wilkerson. “He was passionate about his faith and always had a smile on
his face. He was the kind of guy that never met a stranger. Because of his faith and his passion for it, people gravitated to Todd. “I’m going to try my very best to get there on Sunday. I haven’t seen him in a while, but I’m proud to know him and have been around him.” Everyone is welcome to attend Sunday’s event, said Gibson. “There is no charge for admission,” Gibson said. “We just ask that they come with an open mind and an open heart.”

BECOMING AN AUBURN TIGER Dadeville’s Tolbert adjusting to life on the Plains after transferring to AU

high school. It was just a natural feel when I got here.” Tolbert said his time at Dadeville prepared him well for the opportunity at Auburn and made for the easy transition. “It’s prepared me a lot. Our offensive coordinator was a GA and kind of an analyst down here, so he brought, like I said, a lot of the same plays to Dadeville,” Tolbert said. “It was a real blessing when I got down here. They gave me the playbook, I looked at it and it was a lot of the same stuff I ran in high school, so that made the transition real easy.” One of the things Tolbert has enjoyed most has been the people around him at Auburn who have helped him along the way and prepared him well for last weekend. “The biggest thing I’ve enjoyed is just the people I’m surrounded by – the coaches, the analysts, the players. Coming to a big school like this, an SEC school, you wouldn’t think that a lot of the people would be very warm and welcoming with you coming in as a walk-on and stuff,”
Tolbert said. “But you come in and after those first couple of days showing what you can do, you get the respect of your teammates, coaches and stuff. They put you under their wing and guide you the whole way, especially Coach (Tim) Horton, my position coach. He’s had to be the best thing to happen to me since I’ve gotten here. He definitely took me in and made everything really slow and stuff, and Saturday came and I got my chance when he put me out there I was ready to go because he prepared me.” And moving forward, Tolbert said he simply wants to continue to work hard and become the best player he can be. “I feel like the spring went really well. I knew a lot of the plays and stuff coming in, but looking forward to the summer, I have to get faster, stronger, quicker and try to pick up on my pass protection a little bit,” Tolbert said. “I just want to be the best player I can be. That’s the only goal I can set. Whatever opportunities I get, I have to take advantage of them.”
Wildcats set to host tennis section tourney next Monday By ROBERT HUDSON Sports Editor
The Benjamin Russell boys and girls tennis teams are set to host their section tournament and look to continue their season in the state competition. Benjamin Russell will host the Class 6A-Section 3 Tournament on Monday at Central Alabama Community College’s Cal Alison Tennis Complex starting at 9 a.m. For the BRHS boys, Coach Lewis Daniel said they are looking to finish in the top two and move on to the state competition. “Obviously, winning is nice and we’d love to finish first, but to qualify for the state, we just have to finish in the top two finishers,” Daniel said. “Right now, with it being a four-team tourney, so we pretty much start off in the semifinals anyway. So, obviously, winning that first match would qualify us to go to state, but we’d like to be seeded No. 1 coming out of our section.” BRHS girls tennis Coach Jesse Bouldin said the Lady Wildcats set a goal to win the section tournament at the beginning of the season. Bouldin added that the Lady Wildcats have a good shot to achieve that goal if they play

The stars were aligned perfectly for Danny Willett
By ROBERT HUDSON Sports Editor
When former Dadeville Tiger C.J. Tolbert stepped on Pat Dye Field at JordanHare Stadium, it was another part of realizing a lifelong dream: becoming an Auburn Tiger. Tolbert, a first team All-State player for Dadeville in 2013, originally signed a scholarship with Harding University of Searcy, Arkansas in 2013 where he played quarterback. But Tolbert’s journey led him to return closer to home when he walked on to Auburn as a running back this past January. “The main thing is that I just wanted to be back closer to home. Arkansas was seven hours away,” Tolbert said. “I’ve always dreamed about playing at Auburn, so I just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity while I still had eligibility left to chase my dream. I love it here.” In last Saturday’s A-Day game, the sophomore had a game-high of 13 carries and rushed for 34 yards, while also catching a 20-yard pass early in Saturday’s spring game. Gaining extensive playing time throughout the game, Tolbert said it was an amazing feeling and a great opportunity to showcase his abilities. “It was a fun experience. Compared to playing at a small 4A school and playing at a small D-II school, you don’t get that experience of playing in front of a lot of fans,” Tolbert said. “So, Auburn Saturday was a big difference in the environment and such, but I adjusted to it quickly. It was really fun. I got a lot of playing time, mostly because Malik Miller went down, but I still took advantage of my opportunity and tried to enjoy every second that I was out there.” While Tolbert said he was in awe when he first arrived on the Auburn campus, he said he settled down and has enjoyed continuing to play the game he loves. “It’s been a good feeling. Like I said, it was a dream. The first two or three weeks here I was running off of adrenaline and stuff,” Tolbert said. “Now that I’m settled in and stuff, it’s just basic football again, but I still enjoy it and I still love it. After those first two or three weeks of being an Auburn Tiger, I looked back and settled down and realized it’s just football. But it’s still a lot of hard work, you still have to put in the time. I still love it.” Tolbert said the transition from quarterback to running back has not been too difficult, and as Dadeville runs a similar offense to Auburn, he said he was familiar with a lot of the plays from the beginning. “It’s not a huge transition because I played running back my first few years in high school and then played quarterback my senior year in high school,” Tolbert said. “So, it was kind of like muscle memory when I got here because we run a lot of the same inside zones and stuff that I ran in

their best. “I expect our girls to be in the first or second seed going into the tournament. Our girls made it a goal at the beginning of the year to win the section tournament, and I think it is definitely possible if we play our best,” Bouldin said. “I’m looking forward to potentially seeing the girls attain that title
after Monday.” Daniel said the Wildcats boys have battled through adversity and improved throughout the season, which puts them in a good position heading into the tournament next week. “I think we’ve accomplished quite a bit with a couple different forms of adver-
sity. We had some kids join us later in the season after wrestling ended and we had some injuries to some kids that we were expecting to play a lot for us this season,” Daniel said. “So, we’ve kind of rebounded in that regard. A couple of younger guys who didn’t play as much last year stepped up this year. The task at hand right now depends solely on us being focused going into the sectionals and I think we’re in pretty good position to do well if we play up to our potential.” Bouldin said he has also seen improvement from the Lady Wildcats throughout the season and heading into the tournament. “I’ve really seen the girls progress all season. The top four girls, our senior girls, have definitely improved their net game in doubles playing the net. I expect us to do very well in our doubles play,” Bouldin said. “Our No. 5 and 6 girls have improved a lot this year, and that’s Adeline Treadwell and Lucy Chae. Some of the girls started out struggling this year because they had no varsity experience, but they’ve come up with some big wins in our section games and are certainly contributing to our team’s success right now.”
Sunday’s final round of the Masters will unfortunately be remembered more for who lost rather than who was presented the green jacket. While Jordan Spieth was busy summoning his inner Ernie Els on the par 3 12th hole – knocking two balls into the water for a quadruple bogey – Danny Willett was quietly playing solid, mistake-free golf. If you didn’t hear Willett’s story – which CBS beat to death during the final 30 minutes of Sunday’s coverage – it’s well worth repeating. The stars were perfectly aligned for this young man from Sheffield, England to win the Masters. Two weeks ago, Willett wasn’t even registered to participate in the Masters. His wife, Nicole, was pregnant with the couple’s first child and there was no way this expectant father would miss that – not even for a chance at winning Augusta. Some professionals might have skipped out on one of the greatest joys in life in order to play golf for a paycheck. But for Willett, his family was far more important and he made the right call. But little Zachariah James had other plans for his father. The baby boy, who already has a set of FootJoy booties, was born on March 30 and Willett confirmed his spot in the Masters field with tournament directors – near the close of registration. Ironically – or fatefully – Zachariah James’ due date was Sunday, April 10. It also just happened to be Nicole Willett’s birthday. Sometimes the stars are aligned. But wait … there’s more. Jack Nicklaus, arguably the best golfer who ever walked Augusta’s fairways, won his sixth, final and probably most memorable Masters 30 years ago. That week, Jackie Nicklaus Jr. caddied for his father, choosing the No. 89 on his standard white Masters caddy garb. Willett’s caddy, Jonathan Smart, chose No. 89 last week as a tribute to Nicklaus’ feat. I do not know why caddies must wear numbered white uniforms at Augusta. I also do not know why professional baseball managers wear baseball uniforms. Former Gamecock: In case you hadn’t heard, Willett played at Jacksonville State for two years, so I suppose we can claim him as a semi-Alabamian. He even won the Ohio Valley Conference championship in 2008 before turning professional. Willett’s win can be a marketing and recruiting boom for Jacksonville State’s golf program. I assume the good folks in the sports information office up there already know this. Spieth and adversity: Bobby Jones once said that golf is a game of five and a half inches – the space between your ears. You can practice chipping, putting, driving, whatever, for days on end, but the biggest hazards on the course are often the ones emotions cannot control. Anger and frustration trump proper focus, which often snowballs into more bad shots. So how will Sunday’s quadruple bogey on No. 12 and the second-nine collapse impact Spieth moving forward? Didn’t want to be there: Did you notice the trance-like deer in the headlights look Spieth had during CBS’ made-for-TV green jacket ceremony? For a guy who was in control of golf’s biggest tournament, then let it slip away in a matter of 30 minutes, having to put the green jacket on someone else had to be difficult.
