Coosa man killed in crash Investigators continue to search for leads on dump truck with gravel load By MITCH SNEED Editor Cliff Williams / The Outlook
A 68-year-old man succumbed to his injuries that resulted from a rollover accident following a gravel spill on Highway 22 Thursday afternoon.
A freak accident caused by loose gravel that was spilled on the roadway has taken the life of a Coosa County man. Alexander City Police Department Sgt. Johnny Spivey confirmed Friday that Richard T. Marbury,
68, of Rockford died as a result of injuries sustained in a Thursday afternoon crash on Highway 22 East not far from the entrance to the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex. The investigation into the crash that was reported at 2:07 p.m. is ongoing, but it appears that a dump truck hauling gravel had a part of its load pour from See CRASH • Page 3
Public invited to free Medicare education classes
Routine traffic stop leads to drug busts
By COREY ARWOOD Staff Writer
STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
Learning the ins and outs of Medicare might strike some as a daunting task, but a specialist with a proclaimed passion for health care education is traveling through central Alabama offering free instructional classes. Benefit advisor and Medicare specialist Ellie Saul assures she keeps her classes as fun as possible. Saul said health care education is in her genes – something she inherited from a pioneering grandmother who she said founded one of the first nursing schools in South Africa. “So, it is in my blood to help educate people on healthcare,” said Saul.

Students lead state officials on Career Tech tour By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Students lead the way as State of Alabama Department of Education officials and others took a tour of the Edward Bell Career Technical Center (EBCTC) Friday as part of the Alabama Career and Technical Education 2017 State Tour. “We have chosen 14 of 138 systems to highlight this year,” Alabama Deputy State Superintendent of Education Dr. Phillip Cleveland said. “You have created a training center teaching students skills they need for high demand, high-wage jobs.” Students interacted with visitors explaining what they have learned at the center and what they hope to do with the

Ms. Tennie Lee Mitchell Funeral Service for Ms. Tennie Lee Mitchell of Kellyton, Alabama will be Monday, February 20 at 1:00 p.m. at Peace and Goodwill Missionary Baptist Church with burial in the Church Cemetery. Professional Service provided by Wright’s Funeral Home Staff.
DEAR ABBY: My fiance and I are getting married in a year. We have some very close gay friends, and I have gay family members on my mom’s side. The majority of our family is gay-friendly, but a few of them on my father’s side are very open about their dislike of the LGBT community. Our ceremony will be at a Unitarian Universalist church because we love that they are supportive of the LGBT community and want everyone to feel comfortable and accepted on our big day. I’m terrified that my family members will do or say something to hurt or offend guests at our wedding who have same-sex partners. I am considering putting a note on my wedding website that our wedding will be a celebration of love, and to please set aside political and personal beliefs and accept every one of our guests during this happy occasion. Would this
DEAR ABBY Advice
be appropriate? I don’t know how else to convey the message that we will not tolerate any hateful or offensive remarks or actions against our loved ones. -- BRIDE FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY DEAR BRIDE: Do not post that message on your website. Your message should be delivered via a telephone conversation with the people you think may have a problem. A way to phrase it would be to tell them you are planning your wedding and that some of the guests in attendance will be samesex couples. Ask if this would make them uncomfortable, and if the answer is yes, do not invite them.
DEAR ABBY: My darling husband recently passed away. It’s a sad time for all of us. I wrote his obituary for our local paper and included the names of charitable causes, requesting donations be sent to them in lieu of flowers. I sent the obituary to my husband’s mother and sister who live out of state, in case they wanted to publish it in their local paper in the town where he grew up. They did, but changed the charities to ones of their choice. They didn’t tell me they were doing it or ask my opinion. I found out only when I saw his obituary online. I am extremely upset, especially because one of the causes they listed is a hospital I feel contributed to my husband’s early death. What is the etiquette in this situation? Was it acceptable for them to make that change? Should I say something, or should I let it go?
-- WOUNDED WIDOW IN TEXAS DEAR WOUNDED WIDOW: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your husband. You have every right to be upset that his obituary was altered. What his mother and sister did was wrong. They should not have changed it without your permission. By all means, tell them how you feel about what they did, and that you feel the care your husband received at that hospital contributed to his early death. Had they consulted you as they should have, they would have known better. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Crash an unsecured gate, covering an entire section of one lane. “It appears that the 2006 Toyota Avalon entered the after just after the gravel was spilled,” Spivey said. “Indications are that the vehicle in which Mr. Marbury was the driver and only occupant skidded on the loose stone after the brakes were applied, left the roadway and continued up a small hill. There the vehicle struck a utility pole causing it to rollover and back onto the paved surface.” Marbury was entrapped in his overturned vehicle as Alexander City Police Department officers and first-responders from the Alexander City Fire Department arrived at the scene. Marbury was freed from the

vehicle and rushed to the hospital where he died a short time later. Spivey said the victim was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. “Obviously the first instinct is to brake, but loose gravel is much like driving on ice or snow,” Spivey said. “Once a vehicle starts to skid, it’s extremely hard to regain control.” While first-responders were attending to Marbury and working the scene, others began looking for the source of the gravel. A description of a truck that witnesses said they saw dropping the stone on the road was used to help, officers located a truck that matched the general description of

Bust evidence and possession of drug paraphernalia. According to Fred White of the Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force, charges all stem from what started with a Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Deputy pulling a vehicle over for a traffic violation in the Dadeville area. In calling in to verify the license and vehicle information, Task Force personnel recognized the name as a person of interest in an ongoing narcotics investigation,
the one described by witnesses. “The investigation is still active and we are still collecting interviews and following up,” Spivey said. “We did talk to a person of interest, but we will take what we find and work with the district attorney’s office to determine if there are any charges or exactly where we go from here.” In addition to the Alexander City Police Department and the Alexander City Fire Department, crews from the Alabama Department of Transportation responded to help officials clean up the roadway and remove debris and the gravel. Traffic did not get back to normal until about 5:30 p.m. Thursday.

My daughters continue to make me proud and more
Cheers to finished I projects and information
H
ere’s a look back at the highs and lows from the week in local news as we exercise our collective thumbs. THUMBS UP: Let us preface this attaboy by saying that the Broad Streetscape Project in downtown Alexander City took much longer than it should have and did encounter some problems, but we have to applaud the results. This week the new traffic lights and decorative lamps that illuminate the street were turned on and it’s hard to argue with how much the new look adds to the character of the area. We don’t care what anyone says, the new barkcolor fixtures are a vast improvement over the maze of wires that held the traffic signals for years. The best part of the project is that the majority of it was paid for by grant money with the city only matching a small portion. As we said earlier this week, good things are happening in our area. THUMBS DOWN: There is no end to the ways that crooks will try to avoid honest work and instead steal from people who struggle to make an honest living. In the last week The Outlook featured two stories on scams that have hit area residents hard. There was news of an arrest in last year’s tax fraud scheme where local school employees saw their identity used to file tax returns. That illegal activity caused all sorts of headaches, but luckily it looks like the person responsible is being brought to justice. News of robocalls phishing for information using the name of the IRS have also been reported in the area. Beware folks. Protect your information, and always ask for detailed documentation anytime someone says you need to send them money or allow access to your bank account. These scam artists are the lowest of the low. To them, we say thumbs down and we hope they get what they deserve.
have been busier than a termite at a sawmill. I have been throwing and going for so long that I have tons of tidbits that I need to share to get them off my plate. So here we go. I know I have written about my two greatest accomplishments in life before. But my daughters continue to make me proud. Today, my oldest will be married in a small ceremony at a castle in Shelby. I don’t think I have ever seen her so happy and I am so happy that she has found a person who makes those beautiful blue eyes sparkle even more than they have since the day she was born. No matter what you accomplish, your children give you a special feeling when they reach new heights. Sydney played softball in 31 states, was all-state at three different positions in two different states and earned a softball scholarship. She has hit home runs that people are still talking about and went to the state tournament as a golfer. She can drive that dimpled ball 300-plus yards, not a bad distance for a girl. A softball scholarship helped her earn a degree and become a teacher. Just recently she got a promotion to help shape the instruction of computer classes across the entire Montgomery Public School System. I don’t mean to rattle on, but I just want the world to know how proud I am of her today as she takes this walk to one of life’s big events. COMING UP: Next week we will feature some really good stories. County Commissioner John
MITCH SNEED Editor
McKelvey is retiring as public safety director in New Site. Officially his last day on the payroll is March 31, but with leave time, he’s already living the life of leisure. Next week we will have a feature on John and some of his career highlights. On that same note, we all saw and watched with interest the story of California’s Lake Oroville and hundreds of thousands of people had to be evacuated as spillways and the threat of a dam failure loomed. A Dadeville native was part of that evacuation. Ed Cotney now lives in Marysville, just downstream from Orroville. Tuesday we will share his story with you. So stay tuned. TRAGIC EVENTS: It was sad to hear of the fatal accident on Highway 22 Thursday where a 68-yearold man lost his life when his car skidded on loose gravel that had been spilled. Investigators are still looking into the events surrounding the tragic crash. I have never driven a dump truck, especially one full of gravel. But don’t you think you would know if you lost part of your load? TIP OF THE HAT: We’re all just so sick of being embarrassed by our state’s political leaders. Headlines for far too long have featured news from scandals from public officials.
From the house speaker’s conviction on corruption charges to allegations that the governor used his power and state funds to carry on an affair with an aide who is young enough to be his daughter, we have seen it all. But it appears that there is a new sheriff in town. I have to tip my hat to Alabama’s new Attorney General Steve Marshall. At a time when we are all sick and tired of being embarrassed by our elected officials, Marshall quickly showed that he will have none of that. When he stepped up and appointed special prosecutor Ellen Brooks to handle the probe into Gov. Robert Bentley he quickly showed that he will not leave the appearance of a conflict of interest hanging. That was an incredibly wise move. Marshall has a great reputation with attorneys and law enforcement officers across the state. He is known for being down to earth, full of common sense and a man who is dedicated to enforcing the laws. We will sit back and watch with anticipation as the rest of this term plays out. He inherited the office that has been handling an investigation into the missing funds from Alexander City’s LakeWinds Golf Course. A check with the folks there Friday did not produce any new details from that probe, but they did say it was still on their radar, even though they have been pretty busy of late. Mitch Sneed is the editor of the Outlook.

Reader: the public is paying attention to the news media Dear Editor, I try not to complain too much about news coverage, but sometimes it is so obvious I feel compelled to speak out. I watched today’s (Feb. 16) news conference with President Trump and his confrontation with the mainstream media about fake news and dishonesty in news reporting. Yet, tonight at 5:30 p.m., the ABC World News carried about an 8 to 10 minutes attack on Trump (as they are doing nightly). Included was a piece about Trump sitting down with the
Congressional Black Caucus. There was an exchange back in forth with a reporter with Trump repeating several times that his office had reached out more than once to the CBC and that they had spurned his offer after initially agreeing to the meet. When David Muir did this piece on the air, the explanation by the President was edited out completely! The way it was stated was instead, that the CBC said that they asked to meet and the White House did not respond. This is exactly what Trump was attacking today! The media
must think that the public is too dumb to notice or don’t pay any attention. Well, the public is paying attention now! It should be abundantly clear after today’s Press Conference that Donald Trump will NOT sit idly by and be crucified by a biased news media that is still clearly paying allegiance to the Democrats. Stay tuned, we have only seen the opening act. James W. Anderson Talladega

The Wetumpka Herald
PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might want to reach out for more information. The more you seek out others’ opinions, the greater the likelihood is that you’ll feel better. Others will have similar reactions, too. Perform a fact-check before heading a certain way. Tonight: Try out a new type of cuisine. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could feel as if nothing you do seems to get through to someone you care about. You might indulge in more one-on-one talks in order to gain a new perspective. Because of your innate bias, you tend to pick out the details that best suit your goals. Tonight: Indulge a partner. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Deferring to others does not happen easily for you. You might want to try going with the Åow more often, and not act as if you must always be right. Pressure builds when you defer, because it is hard for you not to put in your two cents. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Pacing yourself to accomplish certain must-do chores in addition to allowing for some free time afterward can be done. Avoid a tendency to get caught up in someone else’s personal matters in an effort to help him or her. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You can be sure that a child or loved one will do his or her dance around you in an attempt to be noticed. How could you possibly ignore this person? Your sense of humor emerges when dealing with someone who sees life very differently. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your sense of humor emerges when listening to a roommate or family member who often seems to spin out in two different directions at once. You will appreciate this person’s efforts, even though they might seem a bit off-the-wall. Tonight: Get into the moment.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Manage what is happening with clarity, and understand what is expected of you. Just do your best to keep communication Åowing. You might feel a need to stay close to home. Try not to be distracted or head in a direction that does not suit you. Tonight: At your favorite haunt. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your possessive streak emerges frequently. You have tried different ways of handling this trait, to no avail. Know that you can’t control another person, nor can you make him or her do anything he or she doesn’t want to. Tonight: Off to try a new spot with a loved one. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Even if you have been in a bah-humbug mood as of late, you Änally will clear the air today. You will look to new possibilities. Your bright, sunny smile could throw an admirer or two into a tizzy, as they are used to the more somber you. Tonight: Out with a favorite person. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You can’t seem to change your direction, no matter what goes on around you. You might feel pushed and perhaps even irritated. Note the moods of others as well. Know that you are likely to feel very differently in an hour or so. Take a walk, if need be. Tonight: Not to be found. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your idea of a great weekend is getting together with friends. Be sure to follow-through on bringing your favorite people together, whether it is for a spontaneous party or just a simple trip to dinner and the movies with friends. Tonight: Just enjoy every single moment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others demand a lot from you right now. You have some intense responsibilities that weigh heavily on your shoulders. You’ll want to handle them ASAP. Once you free yourself up, the possibilities will multiply. Tonight: Count on nearly being a rock star with your popularity.

Government Luncheon and got an update and education on issues facing residents. Alexander City Mayor Jim Nabors hit on several topics, but one item of note was that the city should clear the first of several financial hurdles as early as next week. “The final numbers from the 2014 financial report should be released early next week,” Nabors said. “We actually had scheduled to meet with the accountants this week, but they had to go out of town unexpectedly. So that’s a start. “That and getting the rest of the books resolved and getting a budget in place are things we hope to have done shortly.” He also reported that sales tax revenues for the fist four months of fiscal year are up 6.7 percent. Nabors also said he and others were set to meet with state officials in Montgomery Friday afternoon to discuss options for removal and disposal of debris from the Russell campus cleanup. Council president Tommy Spraggins reeled of a list of things the council has done in the first three months in office, ranging from making tough decisions on key appointments, a settlement of a classaction lawsuit and learning to work within the constraints of the open meetings laws. Council person Buffy Colvin talked about the joy of serving and how she hopes to let everyone know that the council is committed to making the city better and having an open door policy. “We want to hear from you,” Colvin said. “We welcome your feedback. That is what we are here to do – serve our residents.” Scott Hardy talked about developments in recreation, which is a committee he chairs. “There is a lot going on with Parks and Recreation,” Hardy said. “Sonny Wilson and his staff work very hard to offer programs that are of interest to a wide range of people. One thing that he is working on

is that we are hoping to bring a Miracle Field to Alexander City. Not only will there be a baseball field for kids with special needs, but it will be one of only a few that will be a complete multi-sport complex. We are about two weeks from having renderings back on that.” Commissioner Steve Robinson gave an overview of the county and how the county government works on just a $13 million budget. He praised County Administrator Blake Beck for helping change the county’s financial picture for the better. “There is frugal and then there’s Blake Beck,” Robinson said with a smile. “I joke, but we are blessed to have him. He has helped transform the county from place of instability, to one where we are on solid ground. He encouraged participation in government from residents. “I found this graphic and I think it illustrates the point so well,” Robinson said. “It shows that 90 percent of the people lurk out there and really don’t pay any attention to government or the process. None percent contribute. That means they may pay their money, but that’s about it. But just 1 percent take and active role and roll up their sleeves and get involved. We want to encourage you all to join that 1 percent.”

Elected officials gathered to give updates and answer questions on issues facing local residents at the Quarterly Governmental Affairs Luncheon.
Rep. Mark Tuggle talked about the challenges of the general fund budget when the state is facing issues like prisons, the funding of Medicaid and other hurdles. He said he thinks the proposed gas tax increase will get a serious look as well. When it comes to the Senate, Sen. Clyde Chambliss said the state’s general fund budget will be a challenge until the time comes when the state finds a way to raise revenues and streamline government and cut expenses. He put the general fund woes in perspective when he underscored its impact on education in the state. “What is the No. 1 threat to education in this state?” Chambliss asked. I ask that a lot and depending on the size of
the crowd, you get a lot of different answer. But I will just tell you. The instability of the general fund budget is the No. 1 threat to education in Alabama. …So what are we going to do to solve the hole in the general fund. My goal is to have one session where we don’t have to answer that question.”

Help make spring sports coverage great
I
t’s so hard to believe that for the most part, we’ve said farewell to winter sports. After the Benjamin Russell varsity boys lost their regional bid this week, Central Coosa, both varsity boys and girls, is the only school still representing the area in Montgomery this weekend. Hats off to the Cougars for how far they’ve come.. In wrestling, an entire team of Benjamin Russell grapplers and a lone Dadeville Tiger are in Huntsville this weekend. There, they are all capping off their season by vying for the AHSAA State Championship. We wish them all the best of luck. After this weekend, both sports will likely be over. But even before they’re completely finished, spring sports are already bursting forth. I liken it to the buds in the ground at the first sign of warm weather. The Benjamin Russell varsity boys and girls varsity soccer teams are already starting their season this very weekend at the Southern Shootout in Daphne. It’s a good testing ground for the rest of the season for both teams for sure. But that’s not all. Baseball season also steps up to the plate Monday all across the readership area. Softball season isn’t far behind, with most schools starting games on Thursday. Let’s not forget that tennis season is already upon us, with the Wildcats tennis teams serving up the season earlier this week. If that makes your head spin, think of how I feel. This is an exciting time and I, the lone sports editor, am looking forward to providing you with as much coverage of the numerous spring sports events as possible. However, I won’t have as much help from my colleagues to do so as I did during football season back in the fall. That’s where I need your help. You’ll notice in the Sports Calendar that each school has multiple events each week. Because I can’t be at each one, I’d like you, dear readers, to make sure your coach provides me with his or her team’s results as soon as possible after the event. With their help, I can make sure your school’s spring sports programs get the coverage they deserve, even if I can’t be there myself. Remember, I’m counting on you and your coaches to make sure the kids get the attention they deserve. Cathy Higgins is sports editor of The Alexander City Outlook and The Dadeville Record.

Lady Wildcats eager to hit the diamond BRHS softball team armed with strong pitchers By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor
As the Benjamin Russell varsity girls gear up for next week’s softball season opener, they do so with plenty of experience on the team. “We have eight returners,” said head coach Jessica Johnson. “That’s including the seniors. And then we’ll fill some spots with kids who have been with us in the past.” The lineup includes three seniors. “One of which was a transfer,” Johnson said. “So she’s never been with us before.” In addition to experience, the Lady Wildcats are heading into the season without any injuries. “Knock on wood, not yet,” Johnson said. While most of the Lady Wildcats have officially been practicing for the season since January, juniors Tayla Stowes, JaTori Leonard and Shay Johnson just joined after finishing up with basketball. But that’s nothing unusual. “Two of them are threesport athletes,” Johnson said. “And most of our kids also play volleyball.” As for leadership, the coach is leaving that up to her athletes. “Anybody who will step up and do it,” Johnson said. Although the coach was not ready to pinpoint her potential leaders, she has noticed some potential. “We’ve had some good practices these past few weeks and good opportunities in the fall,” Johnson said. “There are some people who are definitely emerging. It might not be the oldest kids, but they’re definitely willing to step up and take that role. We’re going to see how that pans out.” However, the Wildcats’ potential on the field this season has been firmly established. “We’re really looking forward to our pitching staff this year,” Johnson said. “I really think that’s going to be our strongest component.” That component has improved since last year. “We have much more experience in this circle now,” Johnson said. “I have a few kids who have moved in that can help us. And I think coach Steve McWaters on
board as our pitching guru is really going to be beneficial.” The coaching staff has seen the official addition of McWaters, who previously served in a volunteer capacity, and April Yarborough, who coaches junior varsity. “We’re definitely blessed to have the two of them,” Johnson. “I think that addition and the pitching is going to be a huge benefit to our program.” With a renewed strength, the Wildcats are ready to face this season’s challenging schedule. “We start out with a bang this year,” Johnson said of the Lady Wildcats’ season opener at Chelsea on Thursday. “We start out against the defending state champion.” The next day the Lady Wildcats play for the home crowd in the Central Alabama Classic at Charles E. Bailey Sportplex. “We open at home with our big tournament,” Johnson said. That’s the beginning of a lot of work for the BRHS varsity girls. “Our schedule, compared to last year, is pretty strong,” Johnson said. “We play Briarwood, we’re playing some bigger tournaments, we’re going up to Cullman and playing with some of the

CACC freshman Shelly Humphrey of Alexander City zones in on the ball during Thursday’s home-court tennis match against Wallace State. In a singles exhibition, she defeated Macy Smith of the Lady Lions.
As for CACC’s sweep of the doubles matches 8-4, 8-0 and 8-6, Coleman deems the victories as “ugly.” “But a win’s a win,” he said. That win came with CACC freshmen Ashley Coots and Maggie Blackwell defeating Emily Graves and Kelsi Wilson, sophomores Kallie Beall and Kacy Howard defeating Nikkie Rakestraw and Tempie Ennis, and freshmen Abby Hayes and Emily Cheshier defeated Molly Whitlock and Emily Wilson. That win came over a team coached by former Benjamin Russell tennis coach Tony Franklin, who left Alex City to lead
such competition. “They’ll be ready,” Johnson said. “We’ve gotten a lot out of them and they know what the expectations are and where we want to be in May.”

CACC frosh Humphrey wins home exhibition match Central Alabama Community College freshman Shelly Humphrey of Alexander City overtook Wallace State’s Macy Smith 6-0, 6-0 in Thursday’s singles exhibition match at CACC. The pair matched up while the topseeded players from both teams took to the court in conference doubles matches, which the Lady Trojans swept. Although Humphrey’s win wasn’t recorded, the seventh-seed athlete was pleased with her performance. “I felt like that was a good game,” she said. That good game boils down to worthwhile experience on the court. “Any time I can have my extras play matches, it’s good,” said CACC women’s tennis head coach Wesley Coleman. “She was playing on these same courts this time last year. But that’s high school and there’s a big difference.” Getting accustomed to that difference and improving at the collegiate level is important for moving Humphrey up the team’s seeding. “Plus, you never can tell when there are going to be injuries or people get sick and she moves up to the topseed lineup,” Coleman said. “Every opportunity she has to get experience in a college match is good.”

the Lady Lions’ program. Thursday was Franklin’s first time back at the CACC tennis court since making that transition. “It feels a little different,” he said. Despite that difference and the Lady Lions’ doubles loss, Franklin was proud of what he saw from his team. “I’m pleased with how we played our doubles matches,” he said. “We lost 8-6 and 8-4 but we played OK. We’ve got information on improvements for our next game. But I’m satisfied with how our girls played.” In scored singles, Coots defeated Graves 6-1, 6-10; Blackwell defeated Rakestraw 6-3, 6-1; Beall defeated Wilson 6-2, 610; Howard defeated Ennis 6-3, 6-3; Hayes defeated Whitlock 6-0, 6-3; and Cheshier defeated Wilson 6-1, 6-1. CACC won the day 9-0, besting Wallace State in three doubles and six singles. The two teams meet up again in April at Wallace State. CACC’s next head to Oxford, Ga., today to take on Oxford Community College at 1 p.m. That begins a schedule of away matches that lasts well into March. The Lady Trojan’s next home match is 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 25 against Marion Military Academy.
Ben Russell boys sweep tennis match Young team of Lady Wildcats struggles By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor
The Benjamin Russell boys tennis team had a perfect day in the Wildcats’ home-court season opener against Sylacauga Thursday. “Our boys went 9-0,” said Wildcats head coach Lewis Daniels. Leading Ben Russell were returning Wildcats Cameron Bice, Brooks Taunton and Logan Jackson, all seniors, and sophomore Dylan Jackson. The BRHS varsity girls didn’t fare as well, ending the day 1-9. “It was good to get some experience,” said Lady Wildcats head coach Jeremy Stanford. BRHS seventh grader Paige Forbus took the Lady Wildcat’s only win Thursday. Both coaches attribute the girls’ seasonopening losses to inexperience. “We’re a very young team on the girls’ side,” Daniel said. “But we’re full of eager young boys and girls.” The BRHS tennis teams next head to Dadeville Tuesday to take on the Tigers at 2:45 p.m. The Wildcats’ next home match against Valley at 4 p.m. Thursday at the Central Alabama Community College tennis courts.

Center,” Windle said. “There is no debt in the facility. It was all done by donations, $600,000 in grants and $165,000 in Tallapoosa County money. Every one of you has made a contribution to this.” The center has drawn the attention of others from across the state. “You have created a workforce training center that is better than any in urban and more affluent areas,” Cleveland said. “The students are engaged in learning a skill that will allow them to go to work. Not only have they performed in the classroom, but they are challenging other students.” Windle gave everyone a quick history lesson on the center and what they would see and hear when they spoke with students at the center. “Four years ago, we started with a vision, a building and no money,” Windle explained. “We cleaned up the building and made a video of the vision and carried it around the state. Dr. Cleveland and others bought into it. You are going to see some great kids. They have blossomed and have developed some great skills.” The tour showcased health science where student can become a certified nursing assistant, the law enforcement program, the Microsoft Academy, the industrial maintenance program and the welding program. “We have students that are doing clinicals at Dadeville Healthcare,” Health Science Instructor Angela Cox said. “They need those clinicals to pass the exams.” “Last year we had zero credentials in the Microsoft Academy,” EBCTC Director Freddy Ford said. “So far this year we have 41 this year.” Cleveland and Ford offered up what might be coming to the center in the near future. “I think fire science is not too far off,” Cleveland said. “We already offer it at 21 other centers. In just five weeks working with the Alabama Fire College students can become a firefighter.” “We are trying to align the Leader in Me program with the workforce skills being taught already,” Ford said. “We are basically going to become a business here.”
