Commissioners move ahead on DHR building a new building to house the Tallapoosa County Department of Human Resources. Monday morning, the commissioners took another step forward towards that becoming reality. By a 5-0 vote, the commissioners agreed to sign

The need for a new building was first raised in July 2015 and the commissioners began the search for a piece of property. After one site was turned down, the focus moved to the Highway 49 parcel. See DHR • Page 3
Residents question Tallapoosa County 4-H receives Stillwaters property sale ‘Centennial’ designation
By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
The purchase of a Lake Martin waterfront lot by a Stillwaters Residential board member for what seems like an incredibly low price has prompted a group of residents to cry foul. Stillwaters Residential Association Board Member Pamela Alexander and her husband John purchased .59 acres of waterfront property from the Stillwaters Residential Association in December 2015 for $1,000. The property is adjacent to 1.48 acres of non-waterfront
property the Alexanders have owned for several years. The combined properties were listed for sale June 7 as 2.07 acres with 204.90 feet of waterfront for $225,000 with no home and a dock that was constructed since the 2015 purchase and the combined lots were listed in May of 2015 for $359,000, just five months after the new deed of the waterfront lot was recorded in the Tallapoosa County Probate Judge’s office. The property is under the power lines along the waterfront in the Cardinal See STILLWATERS • Page 3
Council able to proceed with demolition project By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
The planned demolition of dilapidated buildings throughout Dadeville is now able to proceed to the next stage, as the required third bid has been received. “It’s wonderful to get the third one in,” Dadeville Mayor Wayne Smith said. “When you’re dealing with items like this, it can sometimes progress more slowly. There’s a lot of bureaucracy to go through.” Now that the city has the
necessary contractor bids in, City Clerk Mike Gardner believed it might be possible for this to begin going forward within a week. Despite being so close to the ultimate finish line, a couple of small issues had arisen with the paving project on Lafayette Street, including at the intersection of Lafayette Street and Broadnax Street. On some of these issues, the city was awaiting clarification from ALDOT. Once this had been See COUNCIL • Page 5

Commissioner John McKelvey, George Carleton, Steve Robinson, Emma Jean Thweatt and T.C. Coley receive an award for their support of 4-H from State Director Dr. Paul Brown and Agent Shane Harris Monday.
4-H program honored for hard work and progress By MITCH SNEED Editor
In less than four years, the Tallapoosa County 4-H Program has grown from just 500 members to 1,500 strong. The growth isn’t by accident. Led by Shane Harris, Deborah Stewart, Trent Carboni and Sallie Mason, the program embraced Alabama’s 4-H Centennial Initiative. That meant they went all out to develop programs and activities that were more relevant to the youth that call Tallapoosa County home today.
At Monday’s meeting of the Tallapoosa County Commissioners, the program was honored by Alabama 4-H and its Director Dr. Paul Brown and was given the Alabama 4-H Centennial Initiative designation, an acknowledgement of the hard work and progress in taking the club to places where it will be relevant for the next 100 years. “This is really a day of celebration for the Tallapoosa County 4-H program,” Harris said. “We have worked very hard for the last two or three years. Over that time, it has
been one of our goals to reach this designation.” With the designation comes a full-time 4-H agent for the county. Previously, Stewart had served Tallapoosa and Lee counties. Dr. Brown thanked the commissioners for their support of the program. He said that combined effort is what made the Tallapoosa County 4-H Club the 32nd program in Alabama to reach the designation. “What has happened with this program is remarkable, it really is,” Brown told the See 4-H • Page 3
Many positives to report at County Board of Ed meeting Dadeville Kiwanis Club: update on ACT II progress By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
During the Superintendent’s Remarks section of Monday night’s Tallapoosa County Board of Education meeting, Superintendent Joseph Windle reported that the 2016-2017 school year for the county schools had been a good year for everyone involved. Seven Advanced Placement classes were offered at the county schools: U.S. History, Biology, Chemistry, English Composition and Literature, Calculus, Language Arts and Computer Science. Approximately 150 students were enrolled in these courses, which Windle said did not exist until a few years ago. Fifty-five took dual enrollment

Students who may have fallen behind on coursework were able to use the Odysseyware program to recover those credits and get them back on track. Over 500 took part in the Access program, a staterun online curriculum, and another 15 completed the Virtual Academy, a full-time online education system. “We’re keeping the Virtual Academy enrollment small so we can keep it at a high quality,” Windle said.

Heights area of Stillwaters. The transaction raises questions from many Stillwaters residents and some previous board members who believe the $1,000 property transaction is unethical at the very least, some of whom met with district attorney Jeremy Duerr and assistant district attorney Mike Weldon June 6 to discuss the matter. The issue had been raised with former district attorney E. Paul Jones who recused himself from the issue because Jones owns property in Stillwaters. Duerr explained to the group that he had talked to Jones about the matter. “There is no doubt something fishy was done,” Duerr said to the group. “We want to make sure we
get you in contact with the right people and turn over what we do have.” Duerr explained that he has no civil experience and recommended the group speak with state attorney general’s office to help with the matter especially since his office was short handed. At the same time of the sale to the Alexanders, the Stillwaters Residential Association sold another waterfront lot for $1,000. This lot is adjacent to the Alexanders and includes .74 acres with about 200 feet of waterfront and was recorded Jan. 25, 2016. Attempts to contact Pamela Alexander were unsuccessful and the number for her listed with the Stillwaters Residential Association was
disconnected. Stillwaters Residential Association General Manager Kevin Eason acknowledged the situation. “All of our records are open to our members and homeowners,” Eason said. “Minutes of our meetings are also open to them. Many, some 200 to 300, have the minutes of meetings emailed to them.” It’s unclear if the lot was ever advertised for sale or signage was placed on the lot before it was purchased by the Alexanders, though those in attendance at the June 6 meeting with the district attorneys office said it was purchased through an adjacent lot program and letters were sent to property owners adjacent to the lot.
Cliff Williams / The Outlook
The Alexanders purchased this lot under the powerlines on Cardinal Heights in Stillwaters to give them waterfront to a lot they have owned for over a decade.
DHR
continued from page 1
After being given the thumbs up from the state, the commissioners purchased the property in May 2016. Since that time all the hurdles and steps have been taken to get the process rolling. The county commissioners had to set up Public Building Authority, then secure bonds using the state’s credit rating. In March, the Dadeville City Council rezoned the property so it would be appropriate for a public service building. When all is said and done, the county will actually own the building, but will lease the building back to DHR and the rent paid by the agency would repay the bonds. “It’s taken some time, but we are getting down to the final steps before construction starts,” Beck said.
• Approve adjustments, litigation, insolvents and errors The DHR property was not the only move made by the from the Tallapoosa County Revenue Commissioners commissioners on the land front. Office. The commissioners voted 5-0 to sell a small parcel of property to Alabama Power Company to use as easement for power line. The parcel is near Thweatt Industrial Park and the commissioners agreed to sell for $14,200. The commissioners also voted not to participate in the annual “Back To School Sales Tax Holiday.” In other items the commissioners voted unanimously to: • Approve the minutes from the May 8 meeting. • Approve all purchases and warrants. • Approve a proclamation acknowledging World Elder Ŷ Social Security Disability & SSI Abuse Awareness Day.

commissioners. “When the push began, the leaders here took this new revitalized mission to heart. They looked at the changing demographics of Tallapoosa County and how they had an impact on the program. They researched and sought out innovative ways how they could reach the young people and their families, the ones who live in today’s Tallapoosa
County. They designed and began programs and initiatives that interested a broader base and you see the results. They deserve to be commended.” The commissioners thanked everyone associated with the program for their hard work and praised the kids as well, for showing their interest. Commissioner John McKelvey congratulated
everyone associated with the program. “As you know this program is very near and dear to my heart,” McKelvey said. “I grew up in this program, so to see it growing and thriving again is a testament to the hard work of a lot of people. It’s amazing to see what they have accomplished.” Harris also thanked everyone who has been a part of the program
reaching the goal. “We have a lot of people to thank,” Harris said. “Our entire team, the county commissioners, the parents and students, our alumni and everyone has stepped up and supported our programs and our mission. We than everyone who shared their love of 4-H. We want to share this award with each and every one of them.”

Alabama responds to elder abuse
O
lder people in our communities have rights including a right to be safe and to be treated with dignity and respect; however, thousands of adults who have disabilities are abused, neglected, and exploited in Alabama each year. To help raise awareness of elder abuse, communities and professionals across the nation and the world unite annually on June 15 to observe World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Activities in Tallapoosa County include displaying a purple bow outside the Tallapoosa County DHR office, asking employees and others professionals to wear purple, and the issuance of a proclamation by the Tallapoosa County Commission designating June 15th as Elder Abuse Awareness Day. June 15 is also the day set aside to promote this year’s national theme, Finish this Sentence Campaign “We Can Build Strong Supports for Elders by ….” One simple thing everyone can do on June 15 to raise awareness of elder abuse is wear the color purple. Purple is the color nationally recognized to represent elder abuse awareness. “Because the elderly are often dependent on others for their care and may become isolated, they are the primary targets for abuse, neglect and exploitation,” said Tallapoosa County Department of Human Resources (DHR) Director Brenda Floyd. “Sadly, victims are most often abused, neglected and exploited by individuals who are known and trusted by the elderly person. Our community partners can help by reporting suspected abuse, neglect, and exploitation and by assisting DHR in arranging services to protect those individuals who cannot protect themselves. They are essential to assisting DHR in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the elderly.” DHR is responsible for the investigation of adult abuse, neglect, and exploitation. In FY 2016, DHR investigated more than 9,000 reports of suspected abuse, neglect, and exploitation of vulnerable adults statewide, which included elderly persons. Please help us protect our vulnerable citizens who have contributed so much to our community. If you suspect mistreatment of an elderly person or an adult person who has disabilities, please call Tallapoosa County DHR at 256-825-3700. Reports may be made toll free to the Adult Abuse Hotline 1-800-458-7214. Reports may also be made online at aps@dhr.alabama.gov or to your local county Department of Human Resources. All reports are confidential and may be made anonymously.

Kids spell love T-I-M-E
’ve never been much of a Barbie man. I was always more of a G.I. Joe – Stretch Armstrong kind of guy. Barbies were just too girly for me— even Ken. Barbie’s beau is the original metrosexual, which is defined as a young, urban, heterosexual male with liberal political views, an interest in fashion, and a refined sense of taste. Yeah, I don’t identify with any of that. So when Emily wants me to visit her Barbie Dream House in the form of Ken, I do the best I can. The real me uses hair gel when I’m not wearing a ball cap, but that’s about as metro as I go. Therefore, as a child of the seventies and eighties, Ken somehow transforms into The Six Million Dollar Man. He makes the bionic sounds and everything. Bionic Ken doesn’t use the builtin elevator. Bionic Ken jumps from floor to floor. Lucy, who is 14 weeks pregnant, is no fan of the bionic sounds. Neither is Emily, but I think Barbie kind of digs it. Emily tells me to just be myself. I tried that, but she’s no fan of Bathroom Ken either. Ken has a cousin named
JODY FULLER Columnist
Ben. Who knew? Ben is very similar to his cousin, so I don’t really relate to him either. In fact, I don’t care for either one of them. They are the Coy and Vance Duke of the metro doll world. I thought about being Nature Boy Ken in honor of the legendary professional wrestler Nature Boy Ric Flair, but then I remembered that I have an actual doll of the real Nature Boy. He’s been standing on my dresser for years. I’m pretty sure Barbie would rather be hanging with the “jetflying, limousine-riding, kiss-stealing, wheeling, dealing son of a gun” over Ken and his scooter anyway. I suppose there could be G. I. Ken, Joe’s superior officer. The Army changes its uniform every few years, so they definitely care about fashion. Ken is no doubt a subject matter expert in the area. I know it’s a stretch, but according to Wikipedia, Ken has had over 40 jobs since his debut, so why not?
Speaking of stretch, Stretch Armstrong was one of my favorite toys when I was a kid. He was fun to pull on. I suppose that was the point. For some reason, I used to like to bite him so I could see the gel ooze out of him. Now that I think about it, it was not only wasteful but also quite disturbing. It didn’t taste very good either. I wonder if that’s where my stutter came from. I think Emily is right. Maybe I should just be me and not just bathroom me. Maybe I should just be the best Ken or Ben that I can be. It might be challenging, but it’s not about me; it’s about her. Ultimately, she simply wants someone to play with. While it may not be on my list of favorite things to do right now, I’m have no doubt that one day I’ll look back on it with incredibly fond memories. Besides, we all know how kids spell love: T-I-M-E. Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq. He is also a lifetime stutterer.

Music will take you to the best places
J
azz Fest is one of my favorite Alexander City events. Six musical acts over a twoday period with free admissions is an incredible deal. For 27 years, the event has been going strong, thanks to the hard work of a lot of people behind the scenes and the generosity of several local people and businesses who step up and sponsor the music festival. I love the setting and the laid-back nature of Jazz Fest and the fact that people of all walks of life get out and enjoy the music, the spectacle and just being together. I love music. Sure, I’m a country and Southern rock fan, but in the truck you may hop in and I will be locked on Jazz, Motown hits or even heavy metal on XM. No matter what it is, it will be playing loud. My appreciation for music has deep roots. My grandfather loved to sing and played the harmonica and juice harp. My uncle and brother play the guitar and it was common to sit on the front porch of my grandparents’ home up in Hanging Dog, N.C. and they would sing and play into the night. Both of my brothers were music fanatics. There was a record store in Atlanta called Peaches, and they had crates with their logo that were made to fit albums. Between the two of them, they must have had five of them filled with what are now classics. From the The Allman Brothers “Eat a Peach,” to Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors to early Charlie Daniels and every stack of wax that the Beatles ever recorded – there was no shortage of listening pleasure. My brother Sandy had the Allman Brothers play at his prom at Columbia High School. Can you imagine? They had signed the contract before they had a couple of hits and honored it. They played

for two hours he said. He was a gateway to some pretty cool shows. He had a friend who was an Atlanta Police officer. He was able to somehow get us in a side door at The Fox Theater in 1978 with one ticket that had “The Cockroaches” listed as the main attraction and a $20 bill. I still remember standing on the side of the stage thinking that no one would believe that I was there. But from that concert I was hooked. I was in the massive crowd for the two Champagne Jams hosted by the Atlanta Rhythm Section at Grant Field in Atlanta. The lineups were incredible. And to stand there as a teen in a sea of people and hear Atlanta Rhythm Section, Santana, The Doobie Brothers, Eddie Money, Mose Jones and Mother’s Finest in 1978 and then Aerosmith, Cars, Dixie Dregs, Whiteface and ARS in 1979 are experiences that I can recall just as if they were yesterday. That’s just the start of the joy that the quest for live music has brought me. I saw Ted Nugent at The Omni in Atlanta and from what I remember (a lot of brain cells died that night) there was no doubt when Teddy whipped it out. My fraternity brother at the University of Georgia Martin Eubanks managed to get us back stage to meet Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn. His father had served with Twitty in the military and he treated us all like family. I was forced to sit through a Culture Club concert after my mother twisted by arm to drive my sister. That was a dark period in my life. I was backstage for the Brooks & Dunn Wild
West Tour and saw the Eagles at the fairgrounds as part of SummerFest in Milwaukee. I will even admit that I sat through four NSYNC concerts in four different states with my then-teenaged daughter. The things we do for our kids. I worked at the city editor at The Kenosha News in Wisconsin and got the chance to cover the Country Thunder concerts for two years. The concert would draw 40,000 for four days of music. There on the grounds of a farm in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, I got a chance to ride all over the grounds with Charlie Daniels on a golf cart, just hanging out with those camping and listening to the opening acts. That man tells a story about as well as he sings. Those two summers I spent time with Ronnie Milsap, The Oak Ridge Boys, Montgomery Gentry, Rascal Flatts, Little Big Town as they were just starting out and hung out with my childhood friend’s band Trick Pony. But the biggest thrill had to be interviewing George Jones on his tour bus. What I thought was going to be a five-minute interview turned out to be an hour-long dinner with his wife Nancy cooking fish in the bus with his little dog Bandit mooching for scraps under the table. I realize I’m running laps with this, but I hoped that it illustrates what music means to our lives. It’s the soundtrack for everything that we do. From music on the car tape deck when we get our first kiss to the song playing on the radio at the beach or a tune that was our wedding theme song – those sounds stick with you. So enjoy music wherever you can, especially when you can hear live and free like at Jazz Fest. See you all at The Amp tonight. Sneed is the editor of The Record.

Fidget spinners: latest fad around Council By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
In recent weeks, it seems like you can’t go anywhere without seeing someone with a fidget spinner on their finger. Fidget spinners have become the latest must-have item, joining such an illustrious list as Cabbage Patch Kids, Pokémon cards and Furbies. Stores everywhere carry them, while children and adults alike are finding themselves enthralled with the relatively simple item. Here in the Lake Martin area, some stores have been carrying them for quite a while, while others have made fidget spinners a recent addition to their inventory. “We’ve had them for about two months now,” said Dadeville Fred’s Staff / The Record Assistant Manager Michelle Lucas Williams enjoys playing with his fidget spinner.

received, it was estimated that only a couple of weeks remained on the project. This includes taking care of any debris remaining in the gutters and grass. Near the end of the meeting, the council voted to approve permanently filling the positions of building inspector, city attorney, city clerk, fire chief and police chief. Councilman Roy Mathis raised an objection to this, expressing his belief that they needed to be voted on individually. Following his objection, the council went into executive session to discuss “good name and character” regarding these appointed positions. Returning from executive session, individual votes were taken for the spots, all of which were approved. The council also discussed the following items during the council and pre-council meeting: •Minutes from the May 23 meeting were approved. •A motion to pay the town’s bills was passed. •Fire Chief Wilkerson brought two requests before the council. The first revolved around an ambulance at the station that had been given to the Dadeville Fire Department several years ago. Wilkerson was requesting permission to donate it to the Eagle Creek Fire Department. A motion to allow this donation was passed, though it would not be able to be given to Eagle Creek until the council officially passed a resolution designating the ambulance no longer needed for public
continued from page 1 use. His second request was to allow Assistant Chief Emerson to use a Chevrolet Impala to respond to fire calls. A motion to approve this was passed. •Police Chief Barbour informed the council that one of his officers was leaving and taking a position with the Prattville Police Department. •Abbi Mangarelli reported May had been a pretty decent month for the Dadeville Library. •With regards to the list of houses and buildings on the demolition list, it was reported that some of them had instead opted to try and fix them up. •Scott Baker with the Parks Department wanted to thank those who helped lay down mulch and sand at the Creation Plantation playground on Thursday. Smith also wanted to thank the individuals who had worked there, including Baker. •The Courthouse Square project was reported to be steadily progressing. •Smith reported that the companies involved in the North Loop area had reached an impasse and were stuck in litigation. City Attorney Robin Reynolds said he was in contact with an ADEM lawyer to help resolve this situation. •Work on the Highway 49 water line project was still moving along. •A representative from the Tallapoosee Historical Museum brought up a concern about the water in the museum. Smith said that, since the building sat near the end of one of the main water lines, flushing a nearby hydrant might help the situation. •A motion to make

organization for the next 16 years. “In 2015, a group of us came together and formed the Alexander City Theater II,” Jennings said. Shortly after coming together, the group was able to incorporate as an organization and also obtained a tax-exempt status in early 2016. They also began looking for a location they could call home, a place they could hold events for the community. “We approached the city about the old Bama Theater,
whether we could inspect it and see if it would fit our needs. Once we got inside and looked around, we determined it was perfect for what we wanted,” he said. Jennings brought a series of displays with him, giving those in attendance the same presentation he gave to the Alexander City Council when ACT II was seeking to gain approval to lease the facility from the city. The city council unanimously approved both ACT II’s request to lease the building and request to change
the name from Bama Theater to ACT II Fine Arts Center. The highlight of his presentation was showing how the exterior would be redone in order to look more like a fine arts center, as well as how the interior’s design could host not only theater performances, but art events of all kinds. Now that the organization has secured their permanent home, plans have begun to be drawn up to turn the old theater into the masterpiece Jennings and his colleagues have envisioned. These include
taking out some of the wooden flooring put in when it was converted into a skating rink, though some of the flooring would be left to make up the stage, and redoing the façade of the building to add a large window on the mezzanine level. “We’re about to begin developing our capital campaign,” he said. “Right now, our estimate is that it will take about $1 million to do everything we want to do.” During the question and answer session after his presentation, a couple of the
members inquired about such issues as parking at the site once the center was completed. “We’re working on that, but I can’t give any details right now,” Jennings said. As he wrapped up, Jennings reiterated that the refurbished Fine Arts Center would be a place for the entire Lake Martin area, not just Alexander City. “We’re very excited,” he said. “I consider what we’re doing as being beneficial to both Alexander City and the surrounding communities.”
BOE bleachers at the Dadeville football field had been completed and were waiting on the final inspection, as was the roofing project at Horseshoe Bend. The roof at Dadeville Elementary had completed the right to proceed, though recent rainfall had hampered this work somewhat. The right to proceed with installing HVAC units at Horseshoe Bend had also been obtained. At Reeltown, the old light poles at the football field had been removed, and the updated equipment was believed to be arriving Tuesday, while the footings had been poured and the plumbing installed for the concession stand and restrooms. Lastly, Dadeville High School was reported to be one of 20 schools nation-wide that would be a prototype to test the secondary school model of Leader in Me. Horseshoe Bend was working on obtaining Lighthouse status, a family involvement component had been added to Dadeville Elementary School, and the board was looking at
Monday, July 3 a paid holiday for city employees passed. •A request to rent the rec center was approved. •Smith said that a high-visibility crosswalk would soon be going in at the Chamber of Commerce. •During the precouncil meeting, Councilwoman Brownie Caldwell asked if the traffic light on 280 and Lafayette Street had been reset, stating she had timed how long each light held, and one side was staying red longer than the other. •Caldwell also asked if it might be possible for the police to patrol Lafayette Street a little more, as she said there have been issues with people speeding down it more recently. •Mathis mentioned potentially spreading city funds out across several local banks. In a subsequent conversation, Smith said that he had already been looking into this, though it would probably be new rather than existing funds that would be spread out to different local banks. •Mathis also asked how speed limits in town were determined. Barbour replied they were set by the mayor and council. It was then discussed that this might be brought up in the future, to potentially make them more uniform throughout town.

trying to make Reeltown Elementary School a Leader in Me school for the 2018-2019 school year. The board also approved the following items during the meeting: • Minutes from both the regularly scheduled meeting of May 8 and the special call meeting of May 23 were approved. • A motion to pay the May bills was approved. • The May 2017 financial report was approved. • The Child Nutrition Program’s ice cream bid of $69.36, reflecting the pack size and cost of selected items, from Chillys LLC in Daphne was accepted. • The board accepted the resignation of Horseshoe Bend teacher Alison Franklin. • The board approved the transfer of seventh-grade science teacher Christie Davis from Dadeville High School to Dadeville Elementary to teach
fifth-grade math. • Several new hires for the system were approved. They are: Jennifer Roy to teach English and language arts at Dadeville High School, and science teacher Hagan Vickers, math teacher Tracy Robbins, Erica Sammons and Rebecca Averette at Horseshoe Bend.
“We will still have a few positions left to fill, but we’re ahead of the game,” Windle said. “I think we hit a home run with these teachers,” board member Randy Anderson added. • The board approved hiring Ferg Allman as a teacher for the summer enrichment program at Horseshoe Bend

and Misty Wilson as a substitute for the same program. • Windle reminded the board that the summer enrichment programs at the county schools would have their performances on June 29, with Reeltown scheduled to run from 8 a.m. to 8:45 a.m., Dadeville beginning at 9 a.m. and Horseshoe Bend
having their show from 10 a.m. until 10:45 a.m. • It was reported that the one cent tax account balance was $2,509,378.07, with an average monthly collection of $125,468. The next Tallapoosa County Board of Education meeting will be held on Monday, July 10 at 5 p.m. at the Board of Education building.

Father’s Day, which occurs every year on the third Sunday in June, is a holiday that has been set aside to show the Fathers, Grandfathers, and the other special gentlemen in our lives how much we appreciate all that they have done for us. This year we celebrate Father’s Day on Sunday, June 18. Children make cards and presents for their Dads and treat them extra special that day. The origins of Father’s Day go back to June 19, 1910, in Spokane, Washington. Sonora Dodd was the daughter of Mr. William Smart. Sonora’s Mother died during childbirth, so Mr. Smart was a single Father to six children, as well as a Civil War veteran.

Data shows many sides to Tallapoosa County
Thursday, June 15, 2017
Tallapoosa County
By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
What is an average Tallapoosa County resident? According to data gathered by benchmarking search engine OnlyBoth, an average resident of the county is a white high-school graduate who is likely Southern Baptist faith who makes $21,034 from a manufacturing job, lives in a home that they own with a median household income of $36,779. That’s just a portion of the data that OnlyBoth has collected from literally thousands of sources to produce thumbnail data not only for states and counties, but for business and other entities as well. In 2012, the software technology OnlyBoth began to be perfected, allowing for a wide variety of statistical trends to be easily compiled and analyzed. Nearly two years later, its creators, Raul Valdes-Perez and Andre Lessa officially founded OnlyBoth LLC and started looking for ways to market their program. Accessible to the public from the website county. onlyboth.com, the software allows users to view statistics from virtually every county and county-like entity from across the country, while also comparing this data to other counties with similar and different data sets. Based on recent data collected by OnlyBoth, Tallapoosa County was rated positively in some aspects, while scraping the bottom of the barrel in others. Nearly 800 U.S. counties were rated high in natural amenities, and Tallapoosa County was one of only 13 in Alabama that received this rating, along with Mobile, Shelby, and St. Clair Counties. When it comes to population, Tallapoosa County ranks fourth in the state for percentage of mainline Protestants, second in the percentage of United Methodists, and eighth in percent of residents employed in manufacturing. At the same time, the website suggested a number of categories the county could use improvement. Percentage-wise in the state, Tallapoosa County has the 12th-highest unemployment rate for veterans and 17th-highest poverty rate for children under the age of 18. Nationally, OnlyBoth found 25 counties that have a percentage of population of adults over the age of 25 with at least a bachelor’s degree and those who work in manufacturing at least as high as Tallapoosa County (17.6% and 24.0%, respectively) that also do not have a high-density urban area. Of these 25, including Hancock County in Iowa, Roseau County, Minnesota and Huntington County in Indiana, Tallapoosa County is the only one with a low employment level. OnlyBoth does take its information from a wide variety of sources, so is quite accurate in its measurements, but numbers can only tell so much of the story. Tallapoosa County can work to find ways to improve in areas where it was rated at or near the bottom, but with friendly people and plenty of natural beauty to explore, there are many good things that the county has going for it. According to Raul Valdes-Perez, OnlyBoth launched its County Benchmarking Engine last October as its newest showcase application and public service, leveraging the availability of federal as well as privatesector data on all 3,143 U.S. counties. “We collected data on 104 county attributes on a wide range of subjects from hundreds of sources,” ValdesPerez said. He cited sources that included: • obesity and diabetes from the CDC • population, migration, national origin, veterans, race, age, education, households home ownership, income, poverty, jobs, unemployment, land area, oil and gas production, land area, and various county classifications, all from the USDA’s Economic Research Service • apartment rents from HUD • religious affiliations from ARDA (Association of Religion Data Archives) • health-plan enrollments through HealthCare.gov • water usage from USGS • farmland from DHHS’s Health Resources and Services Administration • arrests from the DOJ’s FBI (archived at Univ Michigan’s ICPSR)

kids are moving from station to station and involved in different activities. He also works closely with assistant football coach Jesse Foster, who helps with other similar camps in the area. With a youth camp this size, there’s no way Taylor can do it all himself. Many parents volunteer to help out with the camp, and he
had two Dadeville football players, Ab Abernathy and Josh Taylor, also volunteering this year. Another helper is Michael Foster, the father of the late Quen Reese. “He’s a good friend of mine, but I just couldn’t find a way to talk to him about the situation,” Michael Taylor said. “I prayed about it, then called and told him, ‘If
you want to make Quen happy, you need to come out here and be a father to all othese kids.” (Foster) said he needed that, and he came and talked to all the parents yesterday. It was very emotional but that was the thing he needed to have some peace.” The camp is open to all youngsters, not just from Dadeville, and is free to everyone. It takes place
through July 31. “Our future is our kids,” Taylor said. “The younger you can get a kid out there – we have about 10 4-year-olds – if you can get a 4- or 5-year-old trained, the thing you can see in their future is a state championship one day. By the time they get to be in seventh- or eighth-grade, they can be that athlete that really stands out.”
