Dadeville teacher promotes AP computer science
POLICE CHASE:
By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
Two years ago, Dadeville High School began offering a computer science principles class. Since then, the class has grown and become an AP class, and is currently trying to strengthen its partnership with the Edward Bell Career Tech Center. What makes this class so valuable is that it is more than just a basic computer science class. “I want students and parents to know this isn’t a typing class. This isn’t about making a PowerPoint,” said AP Computer Science Principles teacher Bradley Bearden. “Students are going to make their own computer code, make their own apps, and learn how to stay cyber safe.” In addition to these activities, last year’s students took part in a coding competition against other high school students from across Alabama, and welcomed Dr. Anna Wan from the University of Southern Mississippi, who gave them a hands-on experience with 3-D printers, See CLASS • Page 2

Repo personnel arrested after attempted repo By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
An attempt to repossess an automobile led to a fight and a police chase with the two individuals from the repo-vehicle being arrested. “We got a call of individuals fighting in the Five Points area,” Alexander City Police Captain Mario Hodge said. “As we were responding, they left the scene with one vehicle chasing the other.” Witnesses in the Five Points said there
was an argument between two males one of which wearing a blue shirt with agent across the back. At one point the truck went to leave and one male threw a bucket at the other and proceeded to chase the other truck. Hodge said an Alexander City Police officer attempted to make a traffic stop when both vehicles fled. The vehicles did not stop for the officer and proceeded to lead Alexander City police vehicles down Jefferson Street onto Bibb See CHASE • Page 2
The Camp Hill Town Council will hold hearings for two police officers at Monday’s meeting who were demoted and terminated by Mayor Ezell Smith. “They have requested the hearings,” Smith said. “We will have them in executive session.” Since Monday, Aug. 7 is a normal meeting day for the Camp Hill Council to take up regular business, Smith said the hearing will be added to the regular agenda. The meeting could be lengthy given an hour-long executive session to discuss the good name and character of Johnny Potts at the July 31 special called meeting. Potts was the chief of police until Smith demoted him to sergeant July 24. At the same time, Smith terminated Lt. Derrick Coley. “I fired officer Coley for continued insubordination and conduct unbecoming an officer,” Smith said at the committee meeting. “I demoted Officer Johnny Potts for the same thing.” Potts was issued a letter signed by Smith only stating he was no longer needed as chief and was See HEARING • Page 2

DEAR ABBY: My in-laws live in an apartment above our garage. It wasn’t my idea. It was a compromise with my husband. They now want to move Grandma into a trailer in our backyard! I am totally against it, and have voiced my opinion loudly. My husband is stressed out and isn’t capable of saying no to his parents. I have a feeling they are going to move forward with this plan regardless of my objections. I feel completely disrespected in my own home. Any advice? -DISRESPECTED IN OHIO DEAR DISRESPECTED: You have a right to be respected in your home. If you don’t want it turned into a “family compound,” that’s your prerogative. Put your foot down and tell your husband that his parents living there was all the compromise you are willing to make. If he can’t summon the strength to tell his parents “NO!” then you will have to do

it for him. If that doesn’t put a stop to it, ask a respected friend or religious adviser to mediate. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I endured months of trying and multiple trips to a specialist before we finally conceived our daughter. My due date was Dec. 23, and I worried throughout my pregnancy that she would be born on Christmas Day. Low and behold, on Christmas Eve I went into labor and our precious baby girl joined us early Christmas morning. Looking back now, I wouldn’t change a thing. I know it’s silly to worry because we have a happy, healthy baby

Russell A portion of the building had been rented out to a tenant, but that lease ended earlier this year and the entire structure is now vacant. The building is currently not climate controlled and there is no power to the building. Norman, the architect who spearheaded the study, said he understands the historical significance of the building. He put together a preservation plan that included some demolition and an addition that could be used for many different
purposes, depending on what entity occupies the building. “This was just a starting point to show what was possible,” Norman said. “But I think you are in that window where you need to make some decisions because the condition is not going to get any better. I would say that within three to six months if something isn’t done to condition the structure, preservation will become tougher.” Brewer talked about ways the city could handle much of the work

But we have to decide if this makes sense for the city, not just sentimentally, but fiscally as well. “We’ve got some things to think about. I would like to know what the

But how can I respond to people -- strangers included -- when they say how “sad” it is that my daughter was born on Christmas and that she will get stiffed on presents, and maybe I should have timed my pregnancy better? -- BLESSED IN NEW YORK DEAR BLESSED: If anyone is so insensitive as to imply that you should have timed your pregnancy differently, perhaps you could put them in their place by responding that you feel lucky to have gotten pregnant at all. Then tell them you wouldn’t change a thing because being born on Christmas Day puts her in good company. And as to her being “stiffed” when it comes to receiving presents, consider doing what other parents have done: Choose a date in June and celebrate her HALF-birthday.
Street into the roundabout before cutting across the parking lot of the Bud Porch Center. Police were able to stop the vehicles before they got to Madison Street. Hodge explained the reason for the altercation. “It appears one vehicle was trying to repo the other,” Hodge said. “There are certain things a repo person is supposed to do.” At Madison Street where the chase ended, investigators could be seen collecting evidence from the repossession vehicle, a newer Dodge 3500 with flashing lights
and tow bar. Some of what was taken from the truck included two bulletproof vests, a handgun and other belts and bags. “There was contraband confiscated from the vehicle,” Hodge said. “There was also narcotics in the vehicle. The two repossession guys are in custody.” At the scene the driver of the other vehicle was allowed to drive his truck away though not entirely unscathed after washing pepper spray off him. “It appears the repo guys pepper sprayed him,” Hodge said.

Completed Lee I
Street is well worth the hassle
P
eople often get impatient when projects linger, especially when they have an impact on their day-to-day lives. That has been the case with the reconstruction of the portion of Lee Street from Highway 280 to 5th Way in Alexander City. The project was scheduled to take about 90 days and even though the folks at Gary Ingram Paving and Grading worked hard to keep people alerted and make sure the work caused as few disruptions as possible – it has been tough for people who use that stretch of road regularly. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Crews put the final layer of asphalt down Monday and Tuesday and are now putting the finishing touches and checking to make sure all the work is up to snuff. A quick trip down the roads shows a surface that is as smooth as glass and much better than what was there before. We are sure the finished product will have made the angst of reconstruction worthwhile. The process was complicated by heavy rains and the discovery of water beneath a portion of the southbound lanes, but crews rolled with the punches, working with ALDOT and the city to find solutions. The Lee Street reconstruction is one of three current projects funded under the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program (ATRIP) 2.97 miles will be paved and a bridge on Scott Road is in the process of being replaced. Work has also started on paving of Washington Street. ATRIP is funding work from the city limits to the rail crossing at 5th Way and the city is using its own road funds to pick up the rest of the paving of Washington Street into town. ATRIP is an ALDOT administered federal aid highway program that funds up to 80 percent of the construction of important roadway projects. Sometimes there is pain with progress, but we think the Lee Street project will be one that will serve the city and its residents well and provide a smooth gateway to the downtown area.

just got back from getting my haircut and it suddenly dawned on me that there wasn’t another man in the place. There was a gaggle of ladies, but no other man in sight. So, whatever became of the old-fashioned barber shop? When I was a kid, about a century ago, I went to Swan’s Barber Shop in Tarrant City, Alabama. Today a man goes to a salon instead of a shop. These salons are always located at a site the ladies can easily access and look like all the other places of business. With that in mind, whatever happened to those amazing red and white barber poles that spiral forever? As a small boy sitting in Mr. Swan’s oversized chair I could look straight ahead into the mirror and see myself reflected into infinity by the mirror behind me. Hanging on the wall next to the mirrors were some great pictures of various breeds of dogs playing poker and shooting pool. Those were masterpieces to a young boy’s imagination. All the chairs were full of men and boys waiting for their turns, not for their appointments. It was definitely a first come, first serve business and the talk was on the events of World War II, the coming Korean Conflict and sports, not high-liters and split ends. My mother would send

How to
When will President Trump bomb North Korea?
A
mericans hope that President Trump and his team can resolve the North Korean tension. Nobody wants anyplace in America to be struck by an atomic or hydrogen bomb. We are not totally clear on what North Korea can do with a missile but it is growing clearer their program has advanced and is growing stronger almost day by day. Although few people seem to believe North Korea has a hydrogen bomb. We were blindsided by Japan Dec. 7, 1941 when they attacked Pearl Harbor. The Japanese killed 2,335 servicemen. An additional 1,143 were wounded. They attacked us for 110 minutes from 7:55 a.m. until 9:45 a.m. Hundreds of Japanese planes sank or damaged 21 warships and destroyed more than 150 planes on nearby airfields. That was a horrendous day in our history that we never want repeated. There is no way to be blindsided by North Korea. Kim Jong-un doesn’t like the United States and has not made that a secret. North Korea appears to have the ability to hit major US cities according to experts with their increasingly developed missiles. What has not been determined is how heavy a payload the missile was carrying in its most recent test which occurred last Friday. According to experts the heavier the payload the shorter the range. Experts have estimated that last Friday’s test missile had the ability to hit Alaska. The state run Korean Central News Agency said Saturday that the most recent missile
GLENN MOLLETTE Columnist
test was a Hwasongt-14, the same missile tested earlier this month. The news agency also added that Washington should regard the launch as a “grave warning.” Kim Jong-un has been quoted saying “the whole US mainland” is now within North Korea’s reach. He called Pyongyang’s weapons program “a precious asset” that cannot be reversed or replaced, according to the agency. In light of North Korea’s advancing missile program what should President Trump and his current leadership do? We must continue to work with China and Japan and all others to impose economic sanctions on North Korea. Diplomacy must always be the first effort. We aren’t interested in hurting North Korea. We aren’t their enemy. Unfortunately, they have not only threatened our nation verbally but they are demonstrating an advancing ability to hurt us. Eventually our President will have to do what no one in our country wants to happen and that is make an effort to destroy Yongbyron ,which is North Korea’s nuclear facility built in 1965. Some reports indicate there may be as many as twenty nuclear bombs at Yongbyron and that North Korea has enough highly enriched Uranium to make six to eight additional nuclear
bombs a year. The repercussions of us making an effort to destroy or greatly impair Yongbryon and their missile launching capabilities could greatly jeopardize South Korea’s safety. Almost 30,000 American troops are in South Korea. North Korea could in probability launch some kind of attack against South Korea which could be catastrophic. We come back to the bottom line and that is the security of our homeland. We cannot wait for North Korea to have a successful attack against the United States. Unless severe economic sanctions are imposed and carried out successfully with International support we will be placed into a stalemate scenario and have to react aggressively to protect our country. Our own recent missile test this week from Vandenberg Air Force base in California was a chess move by our own Pentagon to remind North Korea they are playing with fire and about to be burned. Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson assured North Korea, “We are not your enemy,” but said that Pyongyang “is presenting an unacceptable threat to us and we have to respond.” When will President Trump bomb North Korea? If we do not receive some word from Pyongyang that they are going to back off and live in peace with the world, then look for us to strike them after their next missile test.

in the minority if you don’t spay or neuter your pets,” she said. “Just about everyone realizes the commitment having a pet is. “Many times, the moment they’re unloaded from the plane, they’ve already been adopted and are ready to go to their new home.” Chandler was also proud to say that, in cases of those arrested on charges of animal cruelty and dog fighting, they are being prosecuted and serving sentences instead of simply receiving a slap on the wrist, as many had gotten in the past. There are still a number of issues facing pets Chandler sees on a regular basis, including dogs that were rescued from fighting rings and those kept chained outdoors or in a miniscule pen. “There is an ordinance in
Alexander City where dogs cannot be kept outside on a chain, but once you get right outside the city limits, there is no such law,” she said. Following her presentation, several members of the club asked Chandler questions, including the situation with the perception of breeds like pit bulls, identification for stray animals, and whether or not she had ever broken a car window to get to a dog in a hot car. “I have once, about 20 years ago when I was in California,” she said. Pit bulls have been given their negative stereotypes because of how people have used them in dog fighting rings, according to Chandler. “It’s not the dogs themselves, it’s the training the dogs receive,” she said.
Chandler expressed the belief that more pet owners should utilize some form of identification for their animals, which would help animal control and the shelter out when picking up strays. Whether using a collar and tag with the most up-to-date information or even the newer route of putting an information chip in the pet, she said that the use of identification is virtually nonexistent, and that needs to change. In response to a question about donating to the shelter, Chandler said that any sort of donation, be it monetary or items like towels and laundry detergent, would be accepted. “There are good things happening,” she said. “It’s a slow process, but good things are happening.”

SCOTT HARDY Columnist
A how-to guide for rising BRHS seniors
I
was recently approached by Adeline Treadwell, a rising senior at Benjamin Russell High School, to provide a quote revolving around the impact BRHS had on me. Adeline was giving a speech to the current faculty and staff members and hoped I could provide insight from an alumnus’s perspective. Coincidentally, I have been preparing for this — my inaugural column — and have struggled to find a topic I thought someone would find engaging. Well, Adeline, you just gave me the inspiration I needed. With Alabama and Auburn covered by my good friends Luke Robinson and Andy Graham, respectively, I decided I would expand on my quote to Miss Treadwell. Think of the advice below as a “how-to” guide for your senior year. 1. Attend every home football game. With eventual fraternity parties, Gallettes’ get-togethers and SkyBar shenanigans, it’ll get harder and harder to come back for a game after you graduate. Trust me. 2. If you haven’t done so already, take a science class with instructor-extraordinaire, Emily Sassano. You’ll appreciate her style of teaching as you move on and her “fun facts to know and tell” will make you the most popular person on trivia night. 3. Get to a Benjamin Russell vs. Coosa Central basketball game. This annual classic is the most intense sporting event you can attend as a student and one that will have you talking trash years from now. 4. Be a date to the Freshman Fly Fling. As an upperclassman, you’ll be surprised at the impact that could have on a lowly freshman. 5. Try your best to get Mrs. Bishop for English. She’s tough … really tough, actually — but she’s the best. Take it from someone who had to turn in his research paper to her seven different times. Yes, seven. Hopefully this column is free of grammatical errors. She also taught me that sarcasm is sign of intelligence. To this day, I can un-facetiously say, she’s still the most intelligent person I know. (Editor’s note: Mrs. Bishop has actually retired, but Scott is a bit out of touch, after all.) 6. Learn the alma mater. If you don’t know it by now, shame on you. As I told Adeline, “our ideal and pride” is something difficult to comprehend in the moment, but in time the appreciation of that line will continue to grow. 7. Make a music playlist and update it throughout the year. This acoustic gem will morph into one of your more prized possessions years from now. When I’m feeling down nothing gets me back to where I need to be quicker than throwing on an old T.I. or T-Pain hit from ‘06. 8. Take a road trip to support a non-football sporting event. Some of my fondest memories from senior year involved traveling to watch our volleyball and wrestling teams in action. 9. With that in mind, if you don’t actually go, make sure you get someone to get a ticket signed for you. Unfortunately, I learned this one the hard way. 10. This year will be the freest you’re ever going to be. Enjoy and soak it in. And remember…Wildcat Pride always! Scott Hardy is the digital marketing coordinator for TPI.

Coosa hopes to name new head coach next week By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
Central Coosa has found itself in a jam. With the resignation of football coach Barry Simmons less than a week prior to the start of practices, the Cougars are scrambling to find a replacement. “At this point, we have assistant coaches that are continuing to run our workout program and getting ready for practices to start next week,” said Central Coosa principal Delynn Bouldin. Bouldin said they have already started to interview candidates but have not taken a recommendation to the school board yet. The next school board meeting is Aug. 10, and Bouldin hopes to have someone to name by then. Late Tuesday night, Simmons announced his resignation in favor of a defensive coordinator job at Ashville, which is about 20 miles from where he lives. “I love Coosa, I love the kids at Coosa and I appreciate the opportunity they gave me down there to be the head coach,” Simmons said. “I enjoyed my time at Coosa, but this was more of a family decision.” Bouldin said, “I don’t blame him for moving closer, but the timing was really unfortunate for us.” Practice officially begins Monday, while Coosa’s first game is Aug. 25 — just three weeks from today. “Of course various people from the community have expressed concern and are anxious about where the football program is headed,” Bouldin said. “I spoke to some team members, and they

are really viewing it as an obstacle to overcome.” Simmons spent two years at Coosa and amassed a 10-11 record. He took the Cougars to the playoffs in 2015 for the first time in 15 seasons and led them to their first .500 season since 2007. “The people at Coosa are great, and they’re still a family down there,” Simmons said. “Marty Adams, our booster club president, didn’t have any kids on the team and jumped in with two feet. When I was there, we started a quarterback club, got new uniforms, new
helmets, painted the stadium and took care of that field the way it should be taken care of. “At the end of the day, I can say I feel like Coosa is better off now than when I got there.” Despite Simmons’ obviously tough decision, there’s no denying it caught Coosa and the school district off guard. “I’ve never had this happen just before school starts,” Bouldin said. “It’s always hectic just before school starts, so when you get a surprise like this, it does add a little bit of stress.”
