BUSTED: 4 taken down for drugs By MITCH SNEED Editor

Two separate incidents involving the Alexander City Police Department and the Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force led to the arrest of four suspects on multiple drug charges and the seizure of drugs, cash and a weapon. Monday, officers with the Alexander City Police Department attempted to stop a vehicle for speeding on Washington Street.

The vehicle continued traveling toward U.S. Highway 280, ignoring emergency lights and sirens. Officers were finally able to pull the car over in the parking lot of a pizza restaurant and upon approaching the vehicle they immediately encountered a smell that prompted a search of the car. Officers found 119 grams or a little more than four ounces of marijuana, two Xanex bars, $1,120 in cash and a .45 caliber pistol. Task Force agents responded to the scene to help process the evidence.

Tatashawn Green, 18, of Alexander City and 18-year-old Brittany Cooke of Sylacauga werearrested as a result of the find. Green was charged with possession of marijuana 1st degree, possession of drug paraphernalia, certain persons forbidden to possess a firearm, resisting arrest and attempting to elude. Cook is facing charges of possession of controlled substance, first-degree possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Mug shots of See DRUGS • Page 2

Tuggle: ‘Waiting to see more of that math’ on prison plan By MITCH SNEED Editor

An $800 million bond proposal to build new prisons in Alabama is the elephant in virtually every committee meeting room in Montgomery as the Alabama State Legislature works its way through the general session and last week Rep. Mark Tuggle updated residents on that proposal and more.

DEAR ABBY: I have recently started disclosing to close friends and family that I am asexual (someone who experiences no sexual attraction to any person). For the most part they have been supportive, but my mother and one of my friends are having trouble accepting it. I have told them I do not want children and that I am repulsed by the thought of sexual intercourse, but my mother acts like if I don’t have children, I won’t be as welcome. She even suggested that I could marry a gay man, so sex wouldn’t be an issue. And my friend continues to pressure me into dating, saying I “just haven’t met the right one yet.” Abby, I have no clue how to maintain contact with them, as they seem unwilling to let my sexual identity be my business. -- AN ACE IN A HOLE DEAR ACE: Your sexual identity became their business the minute you told them you were asexual. The problem is that your friend and your

DEAR ABBY Advice

mother do not understand what asexuality is -- and many people don’t. Please tell your mother for me that marrying a gay man is not the answer because HE may want a sex life, something to which he is entitled, by the way. As to your friend, she’s well-meaning I’m sure, but misguided. You are who you are. You’re not going to change, and you should not be punished for it. Please try not to be defensive because this is your chance to educate. Answer their questions with patience and kindness and do not let yourself be bullied or emotionally blackmailed into doing anything you are not comfortable with. DEAR ABBY: After my

daughter Jenna’s father tried to strangle me in a drunken rage one night, I took her and left. Years later, we are on good terms. I have legal custody. He sends financial support and visits about once a month. My finances, however, are not great. Because we are not in touch with his extended family, I was surprised when he told me his sister wants Jenna to be a flower girl in her destination wedding. I’m not comfortable sending her alone with her father because of his history of alcohol abuse (which his sister is unaware of). I am not financially able to take her myself. Is there a solution I’m overlooking? Am I callous for thinking she just wants a cute child as an accessory to her wedding party? -- MOTHER OF THE FLOWER GIRL DEAR MOTHER: Without knowing your former partner’s sister, it would be unfair of me to guess her reason for wanting your daughter in her wedding.

Drugs

However, if your ex is still drinking, you are absolutely right that Jenna should not be traveling with him. Perhaps he would be willing to pay for both of you to be there. DEAR ABBY: I have an interesting question for you. Is it sexual harassment if a female supervisor at work calls a male employee “Honey”? -- PETER IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR PETER: If that’s all there is to it, I doubt it would be considered sexual harassment. However, if you are the employee being called “Honey,” because it bothers you, tell your employer privately that it makes you uncomfortable and you prefer being addressed by your given name.

Cook and Green were not available at press time. “It was a case where the officers knew immediately why they ran from them,” Sgt. Fred White of the Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force said. “That one started from a traffic stop and it just goes to show the kind of things that people are driving around with in their car. “It’s a case of supply and demand. As the supply drops, the demand is higher and some people think it’s a good time to get into the trade.” That bust followed a Sunday bust that started with the Alexander City Police investigating a domestic violence call at a residence. “When officers responded to that

call they picked up a smell that was actually coming from an out building on the property,” White said. “It was a strong odor of marijuana. The two suspects were taken in to custody and a Task Force investigator was called to the scene.” Investigators found about 10 grams of synthetic marijuana, two grams of methamphetamine and two grams of marijuana. Bennie Carltavious Kelly, 36, of Goodwater was arrested on charges of two counts of possession of controlled substance, second-degree possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Also taken into custody was Steven Heath Fox, 28, of Alexander City on

two counts of possession of controlled substance, second-degree possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. “These last two incidents are the most recent in a string of actions over about a three-week period that included some significant seizures,” White said. “It’s a case where some have been a result of unrelated action like traffic stops and others that came from information received in some of the other investigations that we have been working. “There is a really high level of cooperation between all of the agencies right now and the solid work of officers and our investigators is paying off.”

severe weather plans and kits. The tips for plan include: having two ways to get weather information, knowing where your safe place is, how to get in touch with family if cell phones, internet and landlines fail, to have a designated meeting place to meet after a disaster, check on others before and after an event, neighbors helping neighbors and get to a sturdy structure as mobile homes are not safe. Items that might be included in a three day emergency kit include: a gallon of water per person per day, non-perishable food, weather radio with extra batteries, flashlight with extra batteries, a first aid kit, tools to turn off utilities, dust mask, plastic sheeting, duct tape to shelter in place, can opener, prescription medications,

glasses, infant formula, diapers, important documents, sleeping bag, games, puzzles, items for pets and cash. For those that do not feel their home is safe in severe weather, Moran says the Tallapoosa County Courthouse could be open if the threat level from the National Weather Service is at significant level or higher but might open at other times too. “Call the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Office dispatch center at 256-825-4264 and request to shelter at the courthouse if severe weather is expected,” Moran said. “If the shelter isn’t already open, it will not open in the middle of the storm. This is to protect employees. We will try to give ample time to get to the shelter when warnings are given.”

Our View

City needs experience in clerk’s position It’s a busy time in Alexander City’s government as the chore of filling some of the administration’s key positions have been going full bore. The process of hiring a new city clerk is apparently entering its final stages. We have been blessed in Alexander City to have Harriett Scott in that position. Her extensive institutional knowledge has helped keep the city’s business going in the right direction and operating in accordance with the law. As this search enters the home stretch and the final two candidates will be selected and then interviewed by the entire council, we give a word of advice. The person who is selected to fill this spot needs to have experience not in just working for a city, but experience as a clerk for a municipality. The clerk does it all for the city. The clerk receives legal publication notices including public notices, official actions and ordinances; records and publicizes legal notices, ordinances and city council minutes. Ensures legal requirements are met regarding public notices, publications and posting of City business. The clerk prepares ordinances and manages them and integrates them into municipal code. Serves as custodian of official city records and public documents; retrieves public records for the general public and city staff; provides information on ordinances, resolutions and policies; provides copies of records; attests and certifies official documents and copies. The clerk coordinates public records request to ensure compliance with public records laws and oversees or performs an accurate recording of the proceedings, preparation of the minutes, recording, indexing and filing for the public record; distributes information as requested. See, it’s an important job with no time for guesswork or learning on the job. Considering the demands of this job, we ask the committee handling the process and the city council go with an experienced clerk. Having worked for the city in another department is not the same thing, not by a long shot. We understand that there were candidates with experience as a city clerk among the applicants, so there is no excuse for considering less. Alexander City deserves a seasoned clerk who can make sure that there is no pause or missteps as our city tries to move forward at a very fast pace. That’s what’s right for Alexander City.

Press-pounding president attempts to further divide us “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

hat I’ve quoted above is the First Amendment, contained within a document we commonly refer to as the Bill of Rights. It’s the same document that contains a declaration of our right to bear arms, a right against unlawful search and seizure, rights to life, liberty and property and to a trial by a jury of one’s peers. It, as much as the Constitution itself, is the basic foundation of our democracy – the longest surviving government of its kind in the history of the world. It is why our government – our beautifully crafted republic – has continued to exist against seemingly insurmountable odds. Yet I believe that our government is now under attack from within, from a man who is so caught up in his will of popular appeal that he will sacrifice tenets within our founding documents to achieve it. You see, I believe – and I think history bears me out – that our forefathers saw the value in a free press to hold accountable

DAVID GRANGER Columnist

those who govern us, to help us fight off threats that might arise from within by being vocal about those threats. And I believe now is a time to be vocal. Our president is fond of characterizing the press as “dishonest,” “fake,” “failing” and “unwatchable (all within the last seven days, I might add, including “fake” on multiple occasions).” Now, let us consider this is a president: • who, on Saturday, intimated of terror attacks in Sweden that never occurred, equating it with countries where such attacks had happened; • whose counselor Kellyanne Conway told us on Feb. 2 about a massacre in Bowling Green, Kentucky that never occurred; • who said his win in the U.S. electoral college was “the biggest Electoral College win since Ronald Reagan,” when, in fact, both Barack Obama and Bill Clinton garnered more electoral college votes in both of their two elections each and George H.W. Bush did the same in 1988 vs. Michael Dukakis; • who claimed the murder rate in the U.S. was “the highest it’s been

in 47 years,” when, in fact the murder rate in the U.S. has been in decline for approximately 25 years; and • about whom certain persistent questions remain about his and his staff’s (or former staff members’) games of footsies with the Russians. I could go on, but I won’t. My purpose here is not to disparage, but to act as an alarm clock to those among us who are asleep to this hypocrisy and the damage that it can – and, if unchecked, will – do to our national unity and fundamental tenets of freedom. Granted, my heart is in this because of what I do for a living, but were I, say, an engineer, I think that I could see that our president is trying to further divide us because he thinks he can build his popular appeal in a battle with the media. Frankly, I believe he is narcissistic. I hope that I am wrong. I hope that the examples of untruths told by our president and his staffers that I’ve cited above are merely signs of inexperience and that such inexperience will improve with time. In my heart of hearts, I do not think that is the case. And I will be watching. Have a different point of view? Let me know at david.granger@ thewetumpkaherald.com.

Letter to the Editor

Reader: President’s tax proposal needs a closer look

Dear Editor, One of the hot topics of discussion today is President Trump’s recent meeting with large retailers on the proposed border tax. I am not for this import tax as it is currently proposed. According to the president, the border tax would make imported goods more expensive, thereby increasing the advantage of having these goods made in the USA. Done as proposed, there would be much financial grief levied upon the majority of consumers in our country. A 20 percent increase in the cost of imported goods all at once would seriously hurt the lowest income population in our country. It would also decrease sales for some of our largest retailers such as Walmart and Tractor Supply. I propose that if a border/import tax were to be levied, it should be progressive so that American manufacturers have time to gear up for increased production in our country. Perhaps starting with a 5 percent tax the first year, then increasing by 5 percent each year for the next three years to

end up with 20 percent at the end of four years would be an appropriate compromise. That would send the message that we need to increase the production of goods in our country, but also allow companies to have a little time to do this without the extreme financial pain of the proposed sudden increase. Currently, it costs American companies 35 percent in corporate taxes to produce products in this country. The proposal to lower corporate tax from 35 percent to 15-to-20 percent is a great help to these companies, but not enough to offset the low ball prices on other countries’ imported goods or to counter the large taxes levied on American based companies’ exports. Let’s go slow on this particular tax and allow some time for our economy to digest the taxes on imports. The hope and expectation is that more goods consumed by Americans will be produced in this country without damaging the worldwide export of American goods. Billy Sellers Alexander City

The Outlook

2018 will be the biggest election year in a while

s I have suggested to you, we are looking at one momentous 2018 election year, and it has begun. Get this folks, we have an open governor’s race. We have openings at Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, State Treasurer, Agriculture Commissioner, three seats on the Supreme Court including the Chief Justice position, all 35 state Senate seats, all 105 House seats, one hotly contested congressional seat, as well as 67 sheriffs. Folks, that’s the most political marquee year in my long political life. If media outlets do not make money next year, they ain’t ever gonna make any money. As though the aforementioned cavalcade was not enough of a circus, we’ve got ourselves an open U.S. Senate seat. I believe that Ringling Brothers Circus closed in deference to us in the Heart of Dixie and our roadshow Vaudeville act called Alabama politics. Our good “ole” Governor Robert Bentley has been a great ringleader. He is quite a show. Poor ole Bentley has relegated himself to not only being irrelevant, but is considered a clown. I have been around the state on a speaking/ book signing tour and everywhere I go they ask about “ole” Bentley. I have to deflect the questions about his personal advisor following

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist

him to Washington or sitting in the gallery for his speech to the Legislature. In fact, I try to put some levity to the situation by telling folks, “Well, you know my observation of Alabama politics over the past 50 years is that we really haven’t got to have a governor.” Big Jim Folsom stayed drunk his whole second term, George Wallace was on pain pills his last term and did not know where he was, Fob James seemed disinterested and went duck hunting his second term, and they put poor ole Hunt and Siegelman in jail. At least Bentley shows up and does his duties to the best of his abilities. He just leans on one advisor, exclusively. They say she wrote his last State of the State speech. If she did, she ain’t much of a speechwriter. Well, ole Bentley got himself a U.S. Senate seat appointment to grant. He milked it for what it was worth. He ultimately used it as a get out of jail free card. Even if his appointment of Luther Strange looks like chicanery and collusion, it was a shrewd political move by Bentley. It keeps him and his advisor out of the pokey. The Luther Strange appointment looks brazen and audacious.

FIRST

The facts are clear, Strange as Attorney General of Alabama openly asked the House Judiciary Committee to cease their impeachment proceedings because he and his office were investigating the Governor and his advisor. Then all of a sudden, the Governor appoints him to a coveted senate seat. If that does not look like collusion, I do not know what does. If given those facts the average fisherman in Mobile Bay would say that it looks fishy. A baker in Birmingham would conclude that it does not pass the smell test. As a political historian I will have to record these very facts for posterity. Folks can draw their own conclusion. Luther Strange will probably go on to be a good U.S. Senator. He is imminently qualified for the role, and has planned meticulously for this seat for the last 20 years. However, the taint of Bentley will follow him to Washington and could come back to bite him in the June 2018 GOP primary, which is tantamount to election. Big Luther is betting that as the incumbent senator for the next 15 months, he will be able to raise so much Washington campaign cash that he will be unbeatable. That is probably a good bet. However, Alabamians may have a longer memory than he thinks. Just ask Bill Baxley how getting the governor’s

nomination from the Democratic hierarchy when Charlie Graddick got the most votes in 1986 turned out. Folks in Alabama do not like appointments, especially one that comes with a cloud that appears to be collusion. We have a great 15 months of Alabama politics ahead of us, folks. See you next week.

Wetumpka Depot Players’ “Ring of Fire” continues through February 25

ach day it seems more like spring, but we know we may have another cold snap as we usually do before Easter. Happy Birthday to Riley Elizabeth Jackson, she reaches 11 years old Feb. 25. The Johnny Cash Story “Ring of Fire” musical by the super talented team of The Depot Players continues to run through Feb. 25. It is showing in the Wetumpka Depot Theatre with tickets at-thedoor for $15. The show starts at 7 p.m. nightly. They also have great refreshments available cheaply. The 7th Annual “Getting Down with the Dawgs” Drawdown is a fund-raiser for the Elmore County Animal Shelter, and took place on Saturday at Wind Creek Casino, bringing in roughly $22,000.00 in funds for the Wetumpka shelter animals. Many happy winners of gift cards and prizes, plus one winner of the $10,000. All enjoyed fabulous food by Chef Gary and his crew in a well-dressed setting at Wind Creek. Shelter Director Rea

ROSIE MORGAN Nixburg/ Equality

Cord thanked everyone graciously for donations and all the volunteers making this evening possible to benefit the shelter animals. Sometimes our six dogs seem a little much like this past weekend. As I was leaving the dog-yard gate, ‘Bella’ (the Jack Russell mix/ very boisterous) pushed passed my legs taking the newest tiny dog ‘Gus’ along. They took off running and didn’t look back when I called. I knew Bella could get back, as she has sneaked out many times, but tiny Gus could get lost in the surrounding woods. Luckily, in about ten minutes they were both on the front porch and then safely back inside. We were particularly worried with warming weather that the snakes could be moving out of winter hiding. We’ve had dogs bitten by vipers in the past and it causes much suffering for all concerned.

I just learned that in Sweden, it is against the Law to tie a dog up outside for more than an hour. What a great idea as no dogs should be tied up and this practice is never recommended by Humane shelters. When I was young and it was very safe, owners of dogs would take their pets along with them to the local shops for daily shopping needs, mainly for meat or freshly baked bread. Owners would tie up the lead outside of food shops, just while shopping there and the dogs were perfectly safe. Some shops even provided water dishes outside their doors. When I was home in Ruislip last October, I noted that the Royal Society of P.C.A. Charity shop allowed customers to bring dogs inside and the worker would find a biscuit for them. The Brits do love their animals and I never knew of any that were considered ‘outside only.’ All animals were part of the family and lived inside with the humans. Now that Ron and I are on Medicare, we understand all of the worry over increased fees and cost of living.

Hey coach Pearl ... It’s not you, it’s me

Generals fall at PCA Horseshoe Bend loses season-opening baseball game at Prattville Christian

nyone that knows me very well at all, knows that I love the TV show Seinfeld. I’ve seen every episode more times than I can count and I still often reference dialog from the show on a daily basis. One of the main characters, George Costanza, endured a barrage of failed relationships for myriad reasons. He was often very fond of using the old “it’s not you, it’s me” routine. That’s where you console the person you’re breaking up with by assuring them it has nothing to do with them and everything to do with you. It’s usually a lie, but at least it does attempt to spare the person’s feelings. In one episode, George actually claimed to have invented the popular method of breakup. I bring up this bit of Seinfeld lore to reference Auburn’s relationship with head basketball coach Bruce Pearl. First of all, let me make two things crystal clear. Auburn is in no way, shape, form or fashion remotely considering a breakup with Pearl. They are extremely fortunate to have him and are well aware of his impact on the program. Secondly, while George was usually lying, I believe this is the absolute truth. Bruce Pearl is now in his third year on the Plains and has been able to create a tremendous amount of excitement for the basketball program. He has recruited extraordinarily well and made the Tigers competitive from a talent standpoint. Unfortunately, the victories have not been able to catch up with the enthusiasm and that has some fans feeling disappointment. As I write this, Auburn is 16-11 overall and 5-9 in the SEC. That brings Pearl’s career record in the Loveliest Village to 42-51 overall and 14-36 in the SEC. Auburn is playing a lot of really talented freshmen, but so are a lot of other teams. The Tigers would have to take an elevator up several flights just to get to the level of bad defense. Right now, they play no defense. As any coach worth his salt would, Pearl has put the responsibility on himself. I have no doubt the players and coaches could be doing a better job, but let’s look at the evidence at hand. Division II Southern Indiana hired Bruce Pearl in 1992 and he coached there nine years. His overall record was 231-46 and he was 148-28 in conference. The Screaming Eagles went to the tournament every year making it to the Sweet 16 six times. They won the national championship in 1995 and were the runner-up the prior season. I’d say Pearl did a fantastic job, but that’s Division II. The University of MilwaukeeWisconsin hired Bruce Pearl in 2001 and he coached there four years. His overall record was 86-38 and he was 51-13 in conference. They went to the NCAA tournament three times making it to the Sweet 16 in 2005. I’d say Pearl did a fantastic job, but that’s at a small school. Tennessee hired Bruce Pearl in 2005 and he coached there six years. His overall record was 14561 and he was 65-31 in the SEC. The Volunteers went to the NCAA tournament every year making it to the Elite Eight in 2010. I’d say he did a fantastic job. From 1992-2014 before Pearl arrived, Auburn’s record was 356-322 overall and 137-219 in conference. They went to the NCAA tournament three times in 22 seasons. I love Auburn but the preponderance of evidence is overwhelming. Coach Pearl… It’s not you, it’s us. Andy Graham writes a regular sports column for Tallapoosa Publishers.

The Central Alabama Community College Women’s Tennis Team had quite a successful road trip to the Peach State this weekend.

It’s very deep and very complicated. “It’s not a safe place to be a prisoner, it’s not a safe place to work and it’s not a safe place to be an administrator. It needs some attention.” While stating an obvious need is one thing, Tuggle said the issue is in the details of funding such a plan. Called the Alabama Prison Reform Initiative, Gov. Robert Bentley and Department of Corrections Commissioner Jeff Dunn have been pushing the plan that will close Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women in Wetumpka and build a new 1,200 bed women’s facility.

I told her to be here, but she had no clue what she was coming for. I told her it was to have a talk about an unruly volunteer.” Giddens was being awarded the Women’s Award The Seekers community Bible Study Group at First Presbyterian Church in Alexander City. “Just one other time have I been surprised like this,” Giddens said. “That would have been when she was announced as volunteer of the year,” Gilliland said. The “Seekers” is the community Bible study group at First Presbyterian Church, Alexander City. Each week in 2017 the group is studying a woman of the Bible and a notable woman of faith in American society. Related to this study, the Seekers are giving a special award to 24 women in Alexander City during the year. These are women whose efforts to live out their faith are an inspi-

Mrs. Giddens is cited for her dedication to her church Rocky Springs Baptist Church and to this community. She volunteers to help friends who need assistance and gives of her time at Russell Medical. She serves as a model of kindness and compassion as she successfully works out in her daily life what a woman of faith can be. “She has been volunteering for 10 years at the hospital with over 2,600 hours of service,” Gilliland said. “She has served in all offices that we have – secretary, treasuer, second vice president, first vice president and every committee. She extremely in tune to anything you ask her to do and will volunteer to do anything extra.” For Gilliland, Giddens is someone she looks up to. “She is an inspiration for her children and many of us here,” Gilliland said. “She is always in a fun mood. My life has been enriched by her. She inspires me daily. I would love to give her more awards.”
