Hudson mulls plans for Eastside Mill
TALLASSEETRIBUNE.COM
By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
Thomas Hudson and his son Thomas Hudson III made a trip to Tallassee Tuesday to discuss the future of the eastside mill with Mayor Johnny Hammock. This was the first face-to-face conversation between the mayor and the Hudsons. “I have spoken with him on the phone but this will be my first time meeting him,” said Hammock during Monday’s city council meeting. “I’m looking forward to hearing what he has to say.” According to Hudson, their time as the owner of
VOL. 118, NO. 8
the mill has been brief. The purchase of the mill was finalized one week prior to the May 4 fire that ravaged the historical building, leaving behind only a footprint of what once stood at the site. “Our plans are significantly different than what they were nine months ago when we bought the mill,” he said. The mill was purchased with the intent to harvest the longleaf pine flooring. Heart pine once grew abundantly in the Southeast region of the United States. Because of the hardiness of the heart pine, it was the choice lumber utilized for flooring in factories like the Mt. Vernon Mill Co. The trees were quickly over-
harvested and, with 100-150 years needed to reach full size, the tree is very close to complete extinction. Today, only about 3 percent of the original Pine forest remains. Hudson and his son had plans of creating engineered flooring using thin laminates of the harvested long leaf pine. These plans never came to fruition. Following the May 4 fire, there was nothing but stone and concrete left behind. Hudson says they lost a lot more than wood and stone when the mill burnt. See MILL • Page 3

“We lost a lot of money,” Hudson said. “We’re talking seven figures. There was a big mistake in the insurance of the building and the building was not insured for the event that occurred. So all of this is coming out of our pocket.” Today, Hudson is looking into possible future uses. Hudson said they have looked into repurposing the stone left behind but after closer inspection it was deemed unusable for construction. Because of the high temperatures that the stone was exposed to, it is no longer structurally sound. “We have explored many possibilities with what we have left,” Hudson said. “There is nothing left of repurposing value other than
interest in converting the mill site to movie or television set, but nothing solid has come from those discussions. “We’ve had a few people look at it for that purpose but no one has stepped forward,” Hudson said. “We were very hopeful that we could repurpose the site as a movie venue. I think that would make the people happy.” As it stands the site is a danger. An eight-foot fence encloses the entre site, but Hudson says that is not enough to secure the site. “Even though we have fenced it we know people are going in and we don’t want anyone to get hurt,“ he said. According to Hudson he and his son are listening to the ideas of
the stone. We can put a stone crusher on the site and crush the stone into gravel that can be used in building roads and parking lots. The heat was so intense that it shattered the stone. Some were completely shattered and others are cracked throughout the stone. If you look on the inside of the building its hanging by a thread.” Hudson said they have scoured over ideas for months. One unique idea was using the site as a set for a movie or television show. “We have talked to people in the movie industry,” he said. “We thought it would be a fabulous location for an apocalyptic movie or World War II scene.” According to Hudson there has been some

Some of the ideas tossed around include a park or recreation area; maybe opening the old bridge for a walking trail or a retirement community. While the future of the east Tallassee mill site remains uncertain, a plan to clear the mill site is in place and Hudson says they will begin to clean the site in upcoming weeks. “We hope to have machines here and start working on that in early March.”

Each year Jump Rope attracts more than 300,000 students, in more than 1,300 schools, with more than 500,000 sponsors comprising families, friends and members of local school communities. The program is designed to encourage a positive attitude towards exercise, healthy eating and heart health. With more than 25 percent of children considered overweight, there is still much to be done and skipping is a great start to developing life-long healthy habits. Heart, stroke and blood vessel disease is the leading cause of death in America, and one of the major risk factors is physical inactivity. Low levels of physical activity have been shown to be associated with increased risk of blocked arteries, high blood pressure and obesity among children as young as 12 years of age. Evidence that physical inactivity in childhood and adolescence may track to young adulthood is of particular concern. Jump Rope for Heart provides a unique opportunity to engage children in physical activity in a noncompetitive way and encourage them to develop lifelong heart healthy habits.

he advent of “senior citizenship” usually offers more time for individuals to contemplate how they want to spend the remainder of their life, provided they have planned for a stereotypical golden age existence following several decades of nominal work. Sometimes an easygoing lifestyle isn’t possible, and some folks have to continue working, at least parttime, in order to make ends meet and/or to live the kind of lifestyle they’re pursuing. For others, “staying active” may involve physical and intellectual health as well as economic/employment reasons. Many of us know retirees who have put on weight or seem to have gotten sluggish mentally because they haven’t exercised their bodies and/or their minds. However, retirement can also be a time for introspection about

Moseley movement permewhat kind of life you’ve led so far, and (idealistically) what kind of, um, legacy you’re hoping to leave. Many of us would be satisfied by simply being remembered as a person who made a positive difference in the lives of others. And if you’re a “transplant” to a different town from the one where you were raised, there might be a tendency to contemplate how your life might have been different had you been raised in the community where you now reside, particularly if you’re planning to live out the rest of your days there. Such has been the case for yours truly. My wife’s family moved to Tallassee in the early
ated the perceptions of the Deep South and Alabama’s capital city was an obvious focal point. And school desegregation was indeed a huge part of those times—I was in school with some of the first blacks to integrate Lanier, as well as a couple of George Wallace’s children. But Lanier was so huge that there were all kinds of students with all kinds of lifestyles, including “military brats” whose fathers were stationed at Maxwell Air Force Base (usually for a one-year or three-year assignment). There wouldn’t have been that much “diversity” had I been a student in the Tallassee school system, since
almost everything in this community still revolved around the mill. Moreover, a lack of so-called “diversity” wouldn’t have been an attention-getter (in Tallassee and elsewhere) in those times, because the so-called “diversity” concept didn’t exist. The Missus and I lived in Montgomery for over nine years after we married before building a home out towards Kent. We briefly considered moving someplace in between, like Redland Road, and moving up here later (pretty much my idea) but I was ultimately gratified we located here in one move instead of two. Tallassee is the kind of community that still has old-fashioned/traditional values, yet the attitude of the leaders (elected and voluntary) is forward-looking, as exemplified by the industries that have come to town and/or
expanded over the last couple of decades. But had I resided in Tallassee during the first half of the ‘60s, I would have hoped to ride on one of the dinkies to Milstead and back, before the B & SE short line went out of business in 1965. Such an excursion seems like it would have been an enjoyable family outing in a simpler time. There are still those, however, who can sometimes have a pseudo-proprietary attitude about having grown up in Tallassee, and I’m sure that’s the case in almost every small town. A few times when I was working full-time at the newspaper, I’d get a call about a certain story, and if the caller wasn’t satisfied with my response, he/ she would play the “time-in-grade card,” sniping, “You’re not from Tallassee, are you?” That’s not only rude,
it’s narrow-minded, because many persons who move to another community on their own volition are seeking a lifestyle that’s more in sync with their own family’s values, so such newcomers ought to be welcomed. What’s more, I had a unique way of shutting down such rare homegrown snottiness when it was directed at me (but that procedure can’t be chronicled in this essay). Fortunately, such amateur snobs are “token,” at best. The bottom line, however, is that I believe I would have appreciated growing up in this community. I can confirm that after 22 years of residency, my family is still glad we moved here. Moseley is the news editor emeritus of The Tribune and a regular columnist for Tallapoosa Publishers, Inc.

What has happened to real martin gourds?
H
ere it is time for purple martins to come in and once again nobody around here that I know of has any gourds. In the past few years they have been harder and harder to find. For the past 40 years, I’ve bought, sold, and put up martin gourds. I don’t think I would like the store bought plastic gourds. I have never used them myself but I know plenty of people that do and they haven’t always had that good of luck. The martin motels seem to have better luck if you buy those that have plenty of room in them. Some people buy things because they are cute but that is not what the birds are looking for. Over the years I’ve got to where I can look at a gourd and tell if it’s big enough for a satisfactory house or not. I’ve never measured any but I like for them to have at least twelve inches of space inside the gourd. When we take the gourds down to change them out or replace them, we
The Coffee Breaker By Ronald Brantley always notice that the smaller ones are not used. People ask me about desirable places to put up martin gourds. In town is just as good as in the country. Put a gourd on the pole to keep out snakes and other predators and make sure the gourd is large enough. For the entrance hole we use a two inch key-hole saw and punch five holes in the bottom for water drainage. Years ago I went up to Sand Mountain and while I was there I saw a sign on the side of the road that said Goat and Gourd Farm and another sign said the world’s largest pile of gourds. I don’t know if this is true or not but there was a big pile of gourds. One man said they carried tractor trailer loads to Chicago and they could
double the price there. There was a woman recently writing an article on purple martins for a magazine, the article comes out in April. She asked me worlds of questions about martins and their houses. I like gourds better than anything I’ve found so far. I haven’t tried all this new-fangled stuff yet but with the gourds as scarce as they are I am going to start experimenting with some of the man-made things. Ronnie being in the sign business and using a lot of paint has noticed that some of the gallon cans are now made of plastic. When he is finished with a can the residue can be peeled out after it dries. This is just about the right size to make an artificial gourd. We’re going to try some of these this year. We’ll try some of the store bought gourds along with about fifty of the natural gourds we have. If I mix all of these up I’ll have about seventy-five gourds. I am going to keep a close check and see the what,
when, and where and next year I can report on what the birds liked or didn’t like. If anyone has one of the motels they can let me know because I’m not going to use one this year I don’t think. There are more than one kind of the plastic gourds, some are thicker than others, and I like the thick ones. Some have long necks and some have short necks, I like the long neck gourds. The prices range from five to eight dollars so I suggest shopping around to get the best deal. Well, it’s almost time and I’m getting excited, looking for the scouts to come in and listening for the fussing and chattering. I’m sure some of you aren’t interested but each year I get so many questions about these birds and their habits that I’ve decided to write one more article.

Talks THE TALLASSEE TRIBUNE
Inside the Statehouse By Steve Flowers
Bentley made a shrewd move in Senate seat appointment
A
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 state 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 marquee political 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 Gov. 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 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. 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.

uesday night, Feb. 28, please come enjoy some delicious pancakes and sausage at St. Vincent de Paul Church, located at 620 Gilmer Ave. It’s an annual tradition to serve pancakes and sausage on Mardi Gras. We’ll be open from 5-8 p.m. that evening. You can drop by and pick up as many plates as you want. All that we ask is that you make a donation to the Knights of Columbus, which is a Christian charitable society. Easter is the most important holiday on the Christian calendar. It coincides with Passover, and occurs each year on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox. Therefore, Easter could happen on any given Sunday between March 22 and April 25 depending on the year. The 40 days prior to Easter are called Lent. The forty days represent the time in Jesus Christ’s life spent in
Janiero (“Carnivale”)
Bird’s and, closer to home, along the Gulf Coast in Eye View places like Mobile and By Michael New Orleans. Bird the wilderness before he began his public ministry, where he was tempted by the Devil. Forty days is significant in other ways, such as the 40 days and 40 nights of rain and flooding, for example. Lent is a time for self-denial and sacrifice, prayer and penitence and reflection. It begins with Ash Wednesday. But that day before Ash Wednesday gets the most notice: Fat Tuesday. Unfortunately, the world never seems to take note of the religious significance of this particular day. Fat Tuesday is the English translation of the French “Mardi Gras.” The largest celebrations in the world can be seen in Rio de
Mobile is the home to the first Mardi Gras celebration in our country, having commenced there in 1702. On Fat Tuesday, there are celebrations all over the world to mark the end of ordinary time for now, saying farewell to old ways with overindulgence in food and drink. Cleaning out the pantry and cabinet, finishing off all the sugary, bad-for-you food (and, for many, the remainder of their liquor) is the goal of Mardi Gras. There are thousands of parades from one Krewe or another. Three years ago, a 330foot float, the largest ever, appeared in New Orleans. Even towns with no connection to the original Mardi Gras – such as Wetumpka and Millbrook – have started staging parades and events in January and February. Schools
in the Mobile area let out for an entire week in celebration of Mardi Gras. When people mention Fat Tuesday, it sounds like a holiday soaked in grease. However, I like to think of it as a chance for a fresh start, for those New Year’s Resolutions to get a second chance. During this 40-day period, consider some days of fast and abstinence as part of a self-denial plan. It has worked for many Christians for a couple thousand years. It’s a crazy world, and occasionally we need to slow down and think about making it better, one person at a time, with a little self-sacrifice and soul searching. Don’t forget to join us Tuesday for pancakes and sausage. Laissez le bon temps rouler! Bird is an educator with Tallassee City Schools and a regular columnist for The Tribune.
New experiences help us hit life's bullseyes
T
he other day, I was at my friend’s house out in the country when she pulled out her bow and arrow. She had an archery target leaning against the barn. After she shot a couple of arrows, I got my chance. I’d never shot a bow and arrow. The closest I’ve ever come is watching Oliver Queen on the TV show Arrow. I reckon I learned from Bo and Luke Duke, too, but they had dynamite strapped to the end of theirs. She coached me up real good, but I feared I wouldn’t be able to hit the broad side of the barn. Literally. After a couple of false starts, I gripped it, pulled back and fired away. I did hit the broad side of the barn. Literally. Barely. I try not to eat at very many chain restaurants during my travels, but Cracker Barrel is always a good bet. The people are friendly, the food is comforting and the peg game is a great, yet addicting, way to

kill time while awaiting the country fried steak, mashed potatoes and hash brown casserole. I love my veggies, but Cracker Barrel is all about the starch — and the peg game. One peg makes all the difference in the world. I’ve played it for as long as I can remember, and I may have left two a handful of times, which, according to the official rules, means I’m “purty smart.” I’m not bragging, because I usually leave three, which according to the official rules, means I’m “purty dumb.” There was, however, this one time in Cullman, when the stars aligned, and I left a single peg. According to the official rules, I was “genius.” The angels were singing. Perhaps it was the
Cracker Barrel Quartet; I’m not sure. Either way, it was a magical moment in my life. I vowed to never play the game again. Why would I want to mess up perfection? She coached me up some more. This time, I knew exactly how to aim. I vowed to hit the target. The broad side of the barn was no longer an option. I got in a proper stance, gripped it, bent my elbow just a bit and then let it go. Bullseye! It was a thing of beauty. Perfection. I was ready for some dynamite. For some reason, it took a little longer for my food to arrive. The peg game kept staring at me. I didn’t want to play, but I had to do something. I figured if I could leave one peg once, then I could certainly do it again. So, after being on top of the Cracker Barrel peg game world for seven minutes, I gave in and started a new game. Minutes later, I felt “purty dumb.” I never made that vow
with respect to the bow and arrow. I was ready to keep on pulling and so I did. Once again, I got in my proper stance, gripped it, bent my elbow just a bit and then let it go. Bullseye? Not so fast, my friend. This time, it was all barn, and that was just fine with me. I went from the top of the archery world to barely hitting the broad side of the barn. It didn’t matter. I was learning. I was trying new things. That’s what life is all about. Never settle. Never give up. Find a great coach and load that arrow. You won’t hit bullseye every time, and that’s okay. That’s life. Keep on trying. Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq. He is also a lifetime stutterer. He can be reached at jody@ jodyfuller.com.

will focus on the availability of weather alerts. NOAA reminds residents that a sturdy structure is the safest place to be during severe weather. During the April 27, 2011, tornados the Myers Mobile Home Park in Eclectic saw four fatalities due to the F4 tornado that struck that evening. If you should find yourself in a mobile home during a tornado, NOAA advises that you get out and seek sturdy shelter. According to NOAA there is no safe place to shelter in a mobile home. If you find yourself in a vehicle during a tornado you are advised to get out and get to a sturdy shelter. If no shelter is available, find a low-lying area and cover your head from flying debris. Furthermore, research shows wearing protective headgear like a helmet can save lives during severe weather. “Many types of helmets will work: motorcycle helmets, bicycle helmets, football and baseball helmets, even hard hats used by construction workers,” according to a PSA from the University of Alabama, which adds the unfortunate pun: “Using a helmet to protect your head in a tornado is a NO BRAINER!”

Community Development Corporation to host Boots and Belles By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
Weather generators, flashlights, lanterns, tarps, plywood, radios, batteries and many more household items that would be useful during the event of severe weather without paying sales tax. While The City of Tallassee and Elmore County are participating in the upcoming sale tax holiday, Tallapoosa County is not recognizing it. What does this mean? Consumers in East Tallassee, which is inside Tallapoosa County, will be charged the county tax but no city tax will apply. In Elmore County, consumers will not pay city or county sales tax. The State of Alabama is recognizing the tax holiday; therefore no state tax will apply in either county. “If you need any of those items, they will be tax free that Friday, Saturday and Sunday,” said Tallassee Mayor Johnny Hammock. Furthermore, the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration will feature a severe weather topic every day this week. Monday the topic will be severe weather. NOAA will offer tips on identifying severe weather and offer safety tips to better prepare should severe weather strike the area. On Tuesday, NOAA will focus on flooding and flash flooding. Wednesday’s topic will be tornados. Thursday NOAA will spotlight the dangers of lightning, and Friday it

The fifth annual daddy-daughter dance is the scheduled for March 10 from 6-8 p.m. inside the Southside Middle School gymnasium. This is the fifth annual father- daughter dance. Last year the dance had an overwhelming turnout. Because of the tremendous response to last year’s father-daughter dance, the CDC is preparing for an even larger crowd this year. There will be refreshments available, dance lessons and a disc jockey on hand to serve up the latest tunes. Boots and Belles is a Western-themed event. Dads and daughters are encouraged to wear cowboy-inspired attire. “The dance itself will be a little different than in years past,” said Trip Storm, event coordinator for the CDC. “It will be a lot of fun, that’s for sure.” Tickets for this event are now available and can be bought at the Segrest Law Firm. All proceeds from the dance to go the CDC, which will go back to the community. The Tallassee Community Development Corporation is a non-profit corporation with goals to build the community and improve the quality of life for people in Tallassee and surrounding areas. The CDC works diligently with city officials, the chamber of commerce, the planning commission, and the redevelopment authority to promote the community.

Use Lent to do some spiritual spring cleaning
ave you ever seen one of those television shows where a family lives in a house that requires some major renovations? It needs updating, it’s too dark, it’s very messy, the people are hoarding junk, the windows are missing, and so on. And then some guys come who turn everything upside down and make the house something completely different, something you would actually want to live in. I daresay our lives are similar to those odd and strange houses we see on TV. There are rooms in my house that I don’t want anybody to see. But with time, we get used to
how things are working. We grow accustomed to piles of our stuff, and know exactly where to find everything. We don’t want anyone telling us to throw things away. Being messy can be a small vice. But there are bigger vices. These are flaws in our character. Sometimes, we refuse to show forgiveness. We live with anger in our hearts toward someone or something. And sometimes, we may even hold animosity towards people in our own church, or even our own home. God wants to come to these messy houses of our lives and do something amazing there!
MATEUSZ RUDZIK St. Vincent de Paul
As you know very well, we are not brave enough to let Him do it. We say we are ‘Christian’ but struggle to accept His will. But He doesn’t want to to barely exist. He desires for us the fullness of happiness, not just the bare minimum! This is why Jesus also offered His disciples an upgraded version of the com-
mandments. You can read about these words to live by in the New Testament. We could just do the bare minimum – do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not take false oaths, etc. – but then, we should also expect the bare minimum of happiness, peace and joy in our lives. Let us pray for the courage to desire more than just the minimum. Let us pray that we will be able to see where in our relationship with God we are just trying to do the bare minimum, and be done, so we can call ourselves “right and just.” We are called to life that is truly fulfilling where we can experience God’s salvation,
presence and friendship. I challenge you to use this Lenten season as a chance for some “spring cleaning,” and allow God’s commandments to fully penetrate your hearts and minds. Father Mateusz Rudzik, a native of Poland, is the pastor at St. Vincent de Paul Church in Tallassee and St. Joseph Church and School in Tuskegee. The 32-year-old pastor is also a motorcyclist, skateboarder, and skydiver. Visit vessel4him.org or stvincent-tallassee.org for more information.

Drawdown event brings in $22,000 By REA CORD HSEC Executive Director
W
ow, what fun we all had on Saturday at our Seventh Annual Getting Down with the Dawgs Drawdown, which brought in about $22,000 for the shelter. Isn’t that fantastic? The Wind Creek Wetumpka Entertainment Center continues to be a fantastic venue for our event and Chef Gary and his crew outdid themselves with tables laden with yummy food - we are certain no one left hungry. Everyone at Wind Creek showcased southern hospitality and we greatly appreciate their support to not only this event, but our Humane Shelter. With an “Under the Sea” theme, Chris Sisson and Rita Caswell made sure every table decoration was unique and oh so cool. Thanks as well to Bart Mercer at Jenilyn’s Creations for helping Chris with all of the beautiful plants that really added a finishing touch. Many thanks to Charla Stephenson and Dawn Sullivan for getting everyone off to a great start at check-in and again at the end when paying out to very happy winners! Kyle-Co Entertainment provided the perfect music, video and lighting equipment and we greatly appreciate that they were able to join in our event to the benefit of our audience. Of course, everyone wants to win the big money, but many of our supporters at least left with some great door prizes as a consolation. Please thank the following people who so generously donated gift cards, gift baskets and more for our door prizes: Jennifer Tritz,
Meg Jones, Sandy Faulk, Jimmy Monk, Charlie Pope, Sue Callaham, Corrine Dreyfus, Jimmy and Kim Baker, Mike and Ellen Reece and Bob and Genie Kline. Kudos as well to Jennifer Tritz and Charlie Pope for rounding up our prizes and getting them out to the winners. The brains behind our Drawdown and the two who make sure we ‘get it right’ are Jimmy and Kim Baker. We are tremendously grateful that they not only started this event for us seven years ago, but have stuck with us to ensure everyone has an evening of fun. Thank you so much for coming to “work” on a Saturday night to run our event! Our packed crowd stuck with us to the very end when the final 10 tickets holders all agreed to split the $10,000 amongst themselves. The final winning ticket numbers were: 1, 11, 139, 146, 164, 201, 253, 255, 256 & 290. Congratulations to our winners and we truly hope that everyone who attended had a wonderful evening. Our volunteer Board members work year round planning for and then putting on our Drawdown (and other events) so please thank them for their dedication to our shelter’s mission and future. They exemplify teamwork and we are blessed to have them working on the shelter’s behalf. Our final thanks go to all who bought tickets and came out to enjoy an evening together. It is so much fun to get so many of our supporters under one roof having a good time and meeting each other. Our board, staff and the homeless and unwanted animals we care for thank you all so very much!
Meet Dusty –HSEC Pet of the Week Dusty is a 10-month old male Great Pyrenees/Lab mix boy, about 80-95 pounds. He is very laid back, great with medium-large female dogs and loves people. He will still need good exercise so needs an owner who can handle walking this big guy or spending playtime with him so he can burn off some energy. Our adoption fees are $100 for dogs and $50 for cats under one year old. Cats over one year old can be adopted by approved adopters for a fee of their choosing. This adoption fee completely covers the mandatory
spay or neuter, basic immunizations, de-worming, microchip, heartworm check for dogs, rabies vaccination (if old enough) and a free health exam with your participating veterinarian. To meet all the great pets at our shelter come to 255 Central Plank Road in Wetumpka, AL, 36092. Go to our website at www.elmorehumane. org for more information. Or you may email us at hselco@bellsouth.net or give us a call at 334-567-3377. We are open for adoptions Monday– Friday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m.-3 p.m.

Carter talks to RCCA about possible change in state employee pensions STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
The Republican Club of Central Alabama A club, welcomed Alabama’s top financial official, State Finance Director Clinton Carter, at its February meeting. Carter was named by Gov. Robert Bentley in September to replace Bill Newton, who had served as acting state finance director since 2013 and returned to his merit position as assistant state finance director “Clinton was the architect of my initiative to achieve one billion in annual savings in my first term,” Bentley said. “I am honored to have him return to my administration. He is a strong asset.” Carter, a Huntsville native, has an extensive knowledge of investment management, as well as debt management and
strategic consulting. Most recently Carter was the vice president of Business and Financial Affairs and chief financial officer for the University of North Alabama in Florence. Carter holds an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania where he was a Joseph Wharton Scholar. He earned a BBA in Finance and Accounting from UNA and completed the Institute for Educational Management program at Harvard University. “Many Alabamians confuse us with the Revenue Dept,” Carter told the group. “They are the guys who bring in the money (through taxes). We’re the ones on the other side determining how best to allocate and spend (through the budget process). “A slight change to the pension system is on our agenda through an idea to allow for an employee to receive a partial
lump-sum in lieu of a portion of their annuity. When a state employee retires, he or she would have the option to receive a monthly pension for life or to reduce that monthly amount and take an immediate lump-sum. “The employee benefits by being able to pay off higher interest debt or a mortgage while maintaining the security of their remaining annuity. Further, the State benefits in the long run by floating a bond issue to pay for the lump sums at a lower rate of interest (4%) than our current cost at the pension system (about 8%),” explained Carter. As chairman of the governor’s gaming task force, Carter engaged the RCCA members in a discussion about the pros and cons of the lottery and casino gambling. “The Governor says the people have the right to vote on them,” Carter said.
Carter said his department is discussing the possibility of eliminating the grocery sales tax and ways to go about implementation without handicapping revenue collection, which the State needs. RCCA members questioned Carter about the problems in Alabama prisons, as well as the state budget and education. He welcomed the lively debate and appreciated the important feedback. RCCA President Charlotte Meadows defines the club as men and women of Central Alabama who meet each month to promote and encourage the broadest possible participation in the Republican Party. The club welcomes new members to political and social activities. The RCCA meetings are held at Faulkner University on the first Monday of each month at 6:15 p.m.
Public invited to free Medicare education classes By COREY ARWOOD Staff Writer
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 will be in Wetumpka March 21 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 founded one of the first nursing schools in South Africa. “So, it is in my blood to help educate people on healthcare,” said Saul. She said she, along with Rick Durden of Alexander City, provide the classes as a public service, with an educational purpose. “Medicare is brilliant … it’s one of the things that they really got right,” Saul said. Saul is scheduled to be in the Wetumpka Public Library at noon on Tuesday, March 21. The class is set to run for about an hour, with a question-and-answer segment. The goal, Saul said, was for seniors to “feel no fear” in

applying for Medicare and using its services. She said she would discuss what the service covered regarding various health care related expenses on procedures and prescriptions, the application process and its timelines. Saul said attendees would also learn when to apply for Medicare and about the cost plans of prescription drugs. Class sizes vary, Saul said, with one recently held in Gardendale totaling about 15, while others she said she taught in Birmingham brought in about 40 attendees. Information provided on the event states the following will be covered: • Defining Medicare and its parts; • How and when to enroll in Medicare, as well as what happens if you are already on Medicare and turning 65; • When you are allowed to change plans (annual enrollment and special enrollment periods); • Medicare health plan coverage choices (Medicare supplement and Medicare Advantage plans); • Prescription drug plans; • Do I qualify for extra help with my premiums? How do I apply?; and • What if I plan to keep working? What if my spouse isn’t on Medicare?

TALLASSEE HIGH SCHOOL TAKES 3RD AT STATE By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
Twelve wrestlers from Tallassee High School traveled to the Von Braun Center in Huntsville this weekend to compete in the State Championship. The Tigers returned as third place state champs and senior Jake Baker walked away with his second heavyweight title. There were a total of 49 schools to participate in the 2016-17 state championships. Arab High School took the top spot with 176.5 total points. Cleburne County High School walked away with the second spot with 123.0 total points and Tallassee placed third with 110.0 points. Head coach John Mask says he is proud of his wrestling team and the team leaders. “We had a great season this year and I want to give credit to our captains Jake Baker and Jordan Price,” he said. “Those two captains along with our senior class have continued the tradition of excellence and I appreciate their hard work.” According to Mask, this year’s record is impressive and every team member helped make this year a success. “We finished the season third in the state and with a record of 39-4,” he said. “Every young man that wrestled this year should be proud. Myself and the other coaches are very appreciative of their hard work.”
