Entering its 15th year, the Lake Martin Resource Association’s Renew Our Rivers is still going strong removing litter and trash from the shorelines and roadways surrounding Lake Martin. LMRA’s John Thompson explained some of the trash has been there for decades and the group’s efforts are finally paying off. “We are making a big dent in this, especially the old trash,” Thompson said. “We are making an impact.” This year’s event is set for Nov. 3 and Nov. 4. Thompson says volunteers are already lining up to help. “We have a lot of volunteers stepping up,” Thompson said. “We have a fishing group coming from Auburn. They will be out at Paces Point at the boat ramp and that area. “We have school groups coming out. We will have the BRHS Navy ROTC. Scouting groups will be at Wind Creek. Russell associates will be out on Highway 63 from Ourtown to the thrift store Friday.” Thompson said some of the cleanup is already underway by one group he is proud of. “We have a crew from Atlanta in the Sturdivant area,” Thompson said. “They are already bagging trash.” Volunteers will be manning dumpsters at the Real Island Marina, Kowaliga public boat ramp, Wind Creek Park Marina and See CLEANUP • Page A8
Father-son-duo rejoin forces in DA’s office By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
The father-son-duo of Charles and Kevin Hall once practiced law together in Dadeville until Kevin accepted the position of Assistant District Attorney in the Fifth Judicial Circuit under newly elected District Attorney Jeremy Duerr, leaving Charles alone in private practice. Duerr had his eyes on Kevin almost from the moment he started to practice law. “Paul (E. Paul Jones) and I had talked about if we ever

had any extra money about approaching Kevin,” Duerr said. “He was young, just out of school and eager to get started. We watched him in court and liked the way he handled himself.” Duerr knew one slot was available in the district attorney’s office after winning the election to replace the retiring Jones. “When I won the election, my seat would be open,” Duerr said. “I went to Paul and said I think we need to try to get Kevin. We both stepped out and reached out to Kevin. It was Paul that officially hired him but under
my direction.” Kevin’s hire meant father Charles would be solo in the practice but it would not be for long as a part time slot became available in the district office. “I had asked him if he was mad at me for taking his law partner away,” Duerr said. “We talked and I could tell he missed working with his son. When we did get that spot open I went to Charles and asked him. He said he wanted to think about it but I could Cliff Williams / The Record tell he was trying to hide his excitement.” Kevin and Charles hall pose for a photograph in the courtroom of the Courthouse Charles quickly followed Annex in Alexander City.

Discussions will also surround the pivotal role played by African Americans in developing the music at the roots of today’s bluegrass and country music. She will also demonstrate use of the banjo, “straws,” a technique in which broom straws or knitting needles were beat on the strings as the fiddler played and guitar in backing up the fiddle.

Editorial A perfect gift in a small package Our Mission
Let’s help keep our W river and lake clean
T
his weekend we all have an opportunity to help make our community’s greatest asset a little
better. The Lake Martin Resource Association and Alabama Power are teaming up for the 15th Renew Our Rivers cleanup, and volunteers are invited to help remove litter and trash from the shorelines and roadways surrounding Lake Martin. The massive volunteer effort takes tons of trash from where it doesn’t belong and disposes of it properly. On one hand it’s a shame that this type of cleanup is needed, but at the same time it is always refreshing to see so many volunteers step up to get the job done. Many hands help make quick work. Will you help? Why? Think about this. We are blessed here to have a 44,000acre tourist attraction featuring almost 800 miles of shoreline in Lake Martin. It stands to reason that when people come to the lake, they will spend at least some time in Alexander City. With that in mind, showing these visitors the place we call home at its best is essential to help make these people want to return again and again. When they are here, they spend money and that helps our economy and each and every one of us. So we encourage everyone to do their part. Volunteers will be manning dumpsters at the Real Island Marina, Kowaliga public boat ramp, Wind Creek Park Marina and the Union Public boat ramp. LMRA’s John Thompson says more volunteers will make the job easier. “We’ve got room for volunteers,” Thompson said. “We don’t mind if they work independently either. They can come get bags from us. Let us know where it is and we will come pick up the bagged trash. If they know where the trash is, go get it.” Last year’s cleanup saw over 20 tons of trash collected, including 140 automotive tires, by more than 300 volunteers. Let’s all do our part to top last year’s numbers. For more information call 334399-3289 or visit www.lmra.info
hen I last left you, we’d just arrived here at the hospital after Lucy had our baby girl two months early in the back of an ambulance without an epidural on Friday the thirteenth. You know, just your typical childbirth. Well, we’re still here but things are looking good—really good. First, in my opinion, Abigail Jennings is the most perfect baby in the history of the world. Furthermore, it’s a fact that she’s the most perfect baby to ever be born two months early in the back of an ambulance on Friday the 13th. That reminds me of my cousin Karin who always lets me know that I’m her favorite cousin—well, at least her favorite cousin named Jody. Anyway, this morning one of the nurses said Abigail was “a perfect gift in a small package,” and I couldn’t agree more. Thank you, Jesus. Lucy has been doing most of the work, but I do what I can. For example, I get Starbucks for her every morning while she breastfeeds. In fact, I go to Starbucks two or three times a day. Although I try, I just can’t seem to get her interested in Sanka. Friends and family often ask what they can do for us. I tell that we’d be grateful for thoughts, prayers, and Starbucks gift cards. I kid, but not really. I’m starting to learn the jargon, which is a bit disheartening. I so enjoy sounding like a caveman while placing my order. It’s unnerving to the baristas. Lately, I’ve just been using the app. Breastfeeding is really beautiful, albeit slightly
JODY FULLER Columnist
painful from what I hear. I can’t get enough of it. Okay, that didn’t sound right, although I did sample a drop of it on my hand. It didn’t have much of taste to it. Next time, I’ll add some Splenda. But seriously, I can’t get enough of watching mother and child bond in such a beautiful and natural manner. Sometimes I get a little too close, which freaks Lucy out. She’s needs her space for that. I get that, but I’m just so mesmerized by it. The other night while I held Abigail skin to skin, she made a couple of motions which indicated she thought that I too was a maker of milk. If I could, I would, but I can’t. You can’t draw water from a dry well. But I must tell you that that skin to skin feeling with my baby is the greatest feeling ever. Feeling her little heart beat against mine and hearing those faint little sounds coming from such a little miracle is truly mesmerizing. And when those little feet rub against my stomach, fugetaboutit. Like I said, Lucy has done most of the work. She has been a champion. I haven’t gotten too much sleep, but she’s gotten less, hence the frequent need for Starbucks. The accommodations are really nice, but we still have only a tiny couch and recliner to sleep on. We should be at the Ronald McDonald House
by the time you’re reading this. Thankfully, Lucy is learning me the ropes, slowly. While I can’t breastfeed, I have bottle-fed Abigail a few times. Getting her to burp is the toughest part. I’ve tried leading by example, but it hasn’t worked, yet. Wait ‘til she’s 10. Lucy has also taught me not to jump up every time I hear her crying. That’s tough. I’ve yet to change any diapers, but I’m sure I will. Maybe. I haven’t swaddled her, either, but that’s coming. Some have suggested swaddling a baby is like wrapping up a burrito, but I’ve never been too good at that. Furthermore, how dare someone suggest I put onions and peppers on my baby. I’d hate to have to change a diaper or something. I’ll get around to doing it soon. I figure if I can fold the American flag, then I can surely swaddle my child, especially with Lucy’s help. She’s been awesome. I can’t brag on her enough, but I have to save a little bragging for the nurses. They have just been phenomenal in every way. I’m sure I’ll write more about them in a future article. Lastly, I’d be remiss if I didn’t brag on Abigail, because she is, after all, the most perfect baby in the history of the world. Well, maybe the second most perfect. Sometimes, it’s okay being second. Thank you, Jesus. Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq.

In my time as a staff writer for the Alexander City Outlook, I was a regular at the weekly meetings of the Dadeville Kiwanis Club. Every week, they had an interesting guest that usually made for a great story. Betty was the glue that held that club together. She arranged the speakers, worked to head up the club’s charity events, coordinated the group with Dadeville High School’s Key Club (and, man, did she love her Key Clubbers!) – you name it, Betty did it. What made her so interesting and wonderful is that the same was true in her life – you name it, Betty did it. She drove in demolition derbies, raised wolves with her late husband, was a beautiful model in her younger days and hobnobbed with the fathers of our space program as a NASA secretary in Houston in the heyday of Apollo. Betty once told me that she could tell me some stories about those astronauts we so

strive to provide you with the best coverage that we possibly can. Meanwhile, if you know a budding Dave Kindred who needs a job have them send us a resume or give us a call. We are impatiently waiting. … Finally, I must briefly visit what happened in national news on Monday. The House of Trump took some lumps with the indictments of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his longtime business associate Rick Gates on money-laundering and other charges and the guilty plea of former Trump foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos. Trump was reportedly “seething” in the Oval Office at the investigation of Robert Mueller coming so close to those who at least had been in his inner circle at one time. Where do we go from here? Papadopoulos was termed a “proactive cooperator” in the investigation and many think he may have taped recordings of some of the Trump team’s most elite players.
worshipped, but she wouldn’t. Just a little taste here and there about girlfriends and wives. Betty and I grew close while I covered those Kiwanis meetings. She would call to check on my health and I would call to check on hers. She was one of the most caring, wonderful and interesting people that I’ve ever met and I will miss her… As most of you know I am now the managing editor at the Wetumpka Herald. We have been without a sports editor here for about a month. That is a great headache. I know how people love sports in this part of the country. I know how they long for great coverage of their local high school teams, their kids’ athletic accomplishments. Believe me. I know. And you should know David Granger is the that, even in this (hopefully) managing editor of the short time without a person on our staff solely devoted to TPI newspapers in Elmore County. the games kids play, we will

lived a long and incredible life. She went to high school with Burt Reynolds and worked at NASA where she was an assistant to astronauts like John Glenn and Neil Armstrong. Hayes drove the Apollo astronauts’ wives and typed transcripts from Apollo missions at a rate in excess of 200 words per minute with no errors. Hayes also was a professional model, a demolition derby driver and raised a family of wolves with her late husband Bob. Hayes was recently recognized by the Dadeville Kiwanis Club for her 27 years of service as its secretary. She is credited with helping the Key Club grow to more than 100 members. “Over the years, we’ve had some good secretaries, but we’ve only had one great one,” Kiwanian Tony Johnson said at the celebration of her retirement from her role earlier this month. “When I was in the Key Club in the 1960s, we had 10-15 members, and now we have how many this year? Over 100 today. We owe that growth to her.” Smith said that Hayes took on the Key Club as her personal project and that’s why it flourished. “She loved those kids and treated them like they were her own,” Smith said. “I know that from personal experience because my daughters went through that and experienced it first-hand. Right now my heart is heavy. Our community has suffered a tremendous loss.” As a columnist for the paper, Hayes took great pride in helping churches and civic clubs get their news and events out to the readers. There were times in recent years when Hayes began to have health issues where she would be released from the hospital and rush home to hammer out a column just to make deadline. “People are depending on me honey,” Hayes told a TPI employee who was handling her column that day. “I love this community and I don’t want to let them down. They depend on me and I love doing it.” Memorial Service for Hayes will be Friday, November 3, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. at the Chapel of Langley Funeral Home. Rev. Ben Arellano will officiate. Memorial messages may be sent to the family at www.langleyfuneralhome.com.

Shaw’s warrant indicates he allegedly committed murder while trying to distribute a controlled substance. Shaw is alleged to have committed the crime while out on bond on two other drug charges.

the trafficking bond, Shaw was again arrested Aug. 4 for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia and posted a $2,500 bond Aug. 14. The trafficking, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia charges have been bound over to the grand jury. Jackson represents Shaw in the two drug arrests and has filed for a preliminary hearing in the murder case. Sheeley was arrested Oct. 4 and according to his warrant is said to
have committed murder while in the commission of robbery first. Court records show no bond has been given to Sheeley. Dadeville Police Chief David Barbour said 911 dispatch received several calls of shots fired in that area at 12:47 a.m. on Sept. 28. Officers arrived shortly thereafter finding Adamson and 37-year-old Gerald Haggerty lying in Jah Street with gunshot wounds. They were transported to Lake Martin Community Hospital where Adamson
passed away. Haggerty was treated there and then flown to Columbus, Georgia for continued treatment. While Barbour has not released any further details of the incident, residents on Jah Street recalled the shots from that Thursday morning. Residents said they heard about six shots over a 10-second time frame. One resident said one of the victims could be seen running from the shooter almost “running out of his clothes” while seeking cover at a nearby home.

They can come get bags from us. Let us know where it is and we will come pick up the bagged trash. If they know where the trash is, go get it. Last year’s cleanup saw over 20 tons of trash collected, including 140 automotive tires, by more than 300 volunteers. Thompson says the new Treasured Mile program has been effective at helping keep trash from the lake over the past year. “It has been making an impact,” Thompson said. Thompson says the higher water levels than years past will affect this year’s cleanup. “The water levels are too high to be as productive as File / The Record last year’s,” Thompson said.

For the Halls, working together with family whether in private practice or in the district attorney’s office is natural. “I have always enjoyed working with family,” Kevin said. “It is a good thing if you can work with your family.” “We understand how each other think,” Charles said. “We have spent a great deal of time hunting and stuff. We have both worked and strategized criminal defense when in private practice. To be a good defense attorney you have to understand how a defense attorney thinks. To be a good defense attorney you have to understand how a prosecutor thinks.” Charles law career is actually his second career after working for the Alabama Forestry Commission. “I always was interested in it (law),” Charles said. “I actually went to law school while working for forestry and passed the bar.” While Charles was studying for the law school and the bar, Kevin was soaking it all in. “When I was going through law school and studying for the bar, he was hearing all this stuff,” Charles said. “Those flash cards. I was going through those old flash cards on some subject I don’t remember.” “On torts,” Kevin quipped. “On torts and he answered it,” Charles said. “He was still in high school.” The elder Hall has been practicing law since 2002 and Kevin joined the practice after law school. Each brings something different to the table. “We know each others strengths and weaknesses,” Kevin said. “As technology evolves, skills I learned going through law school did not exist 10 years ago. His experience balances out that. It has allowed me to mature much more quickly than my classmates because I had that mentorship (with my father).” Serving in the Fifth Circuit with Duerr and the Halls are Chief Assistant District Attorney Mike Weldon with an office in Macon County but floating throughout the district, Robbie Treese in Chambers County as a full-time assistant, Anna Parker in Randolph County as a full-time assistant and Keith Thomas as a part-time assistant in Macon County.

United Way reaches halfway point of fundraising campaign By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
Representatives from the Lake Martin Area United Way and a handful of the agencies affiliated with the United Way met in the conference area of the United Way office Friday afternoon for the latest update on how the 2018 fundraising campaign, “Team United,” was progressing. Executive Director Sharon Fuller said the previous week had been a huge week for the United Way campaign, between Gabby Witherington and his 100hole golf marathon at StillWaters Golf Course Monday and the fifth annual Downtown Showdown Fashion Show Thursday night. “The October total for our fundraiser was $119,594.89,” Sandra Fuller with the United Way said. “This brings our total dollar amount to $282,963.47, which is 51.45 percent of our total goal.” Friday’s lunch meeting included updates from specific donors to the campaign. These included $4,550 from Witherington’s golf marathon, $13,543.50 raised through the fashion show, and $13,927.02 through Russell Lands, among many other groups who either have concluded or are still holding their fundraiser efforts. Fuller even said a number of the agencies affiliated with the Lake Martin Area United Way have chipped in to help each other out, donating a total of $4,288 to the cause. “I see so much interaction between our agencies, and that’s a great thing,” Fuller said. Upcoming fundraiser events for the Lake Martin Area United Way include the Denim and Diamonds Charity Ball sponsored by the Dadeville Chamber of Commerce scheduled for Nov. 17, the annual holiday fundraiser held by River Bank & Trust and Niffer’s on the Lake donating money brought in through their weekly Bingo nights every Tuesday during the month of November. Sharon Fuller told the audience she had tickets available for the Denim and Diamonds event. Tickets are $50 and will treat guests to a fantastic night. “It may seem high, but you’ll get a steak dinner,” Fuller said. “There will also be a band performing and a silent auction, including a basket from the Girl Scouts.” Even though the United Way has reached the financial halfway point on the “Team United” campaign, Fuller encouraged everyone to keep working hard and raising money for the 28 affiliated agencies. “Continue sharing with your friends and co-workers,” she said. “Every dollar really does count.” Sandra Fuller also said there were still some industries that have yet to start their individual campaigns for the United Way, which would help drive the number even higher before the next update. During the update, guests had the chance to chow down on pork tenderloin sliders, vegetables and pasta. Friday’s lunch was sponsored by Karen Channell of Donald Campbell / The Record State Farm Insurance Company. Top, Sharon and Sandra Fuller of the Lake Martin Area United Way share a laugh at the podium Friday afternoon during the latest Sharon Fuller also reminded the crowd the final update for the “Team United” fundraiser campaign.

Reeltown’s Trey O’Neal (12) is brought down by Lanett’s Johnny Daniels earlier this season. Reeltown faces Loachapoka tonight for a non-region matchup.
Reeltown gearing up for postseason run By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
Much like last week, the Reeltown Rebels can’t afford to get complacent as they face their final regular season game of the year. Reeltown heads to Loachapoka on Thursday night for a non-region matchup, and although the Indians are just a two-win team, Reeltown can’t overlook them.
The teams’ only common opponent is Notasulga, which defeated Loachapoka by three points and defeated the Rebels by four in the season opener. “Loachapoka is extremely athletic; they’re only 2-7 but they’re in an extremely tough region (Class 1A Region 3),” Reeltown coach Matt Johnson said. “No matter if you’re playing a team that’s undefeated or a team that has one or two wins, you need to go out and improve on your skillset
every chance you get to go out there.” Reeltown is also looking to “sharpen the iron” before the playoffs. But the good news for the Rebels (5-4) is they finally have all their puzzle pieces in place. After a slew of injuries throughout the course of the season, Reeltown has all but one player back. The only missing player is Keke Hughley, who suffered a season-ending ACL tear. “The past couple weeks, we’ve found
some depth in some areas,” Johnson said. “With Keke being out, we had to change a lot of what we did offensively because half of our package was based off of Keke. There were a couple weeks where Jordan didn’t play, so Kolby Koan and (Rajerrian) Wrighat have stepped in. “During those injuries, it was huge to find some depth and find those guys that could do some things we wouldn’t have See REBELS • Page B2
Dadeville goes 1-1 Extra Points at Super Regional Reeltown utilizes multiple QBs
By LIZI ARBOGAST and DAVID GRANGER
After defeating Brewton’s W.S. Neal in the first round of the Class 4A South Super Regional volleyball tournament at Montgomery’s Cramton Bowl Multiplex on last Thursday, the Dadeville Tigers were just a win over the Northside Lady Rams of Northport away from a state tournament berth. But for Dadeville coach Felicia Edwards’ group — strongly lacking fan support in the stands and appearing lackluster from the match’s onset — it wasn’t to be. Northside defeated Dadeville in three straight games, 25-18, 25-11 and 25-15, eliminating the Tigers and ending their season. “I think we played real sluggish, especially in the last game. I think all of the girls could have played much better,” said Edwards of her team, which came into the Super Regional as the Area 5 runner-up. Northside was the winner of Area 7. After Northside took the second game, assistant coach C.J. Ford could be overheard telling his team to “leave it all on the court, because you will miss this when it’s gone.” But, in the end, Edwards seemed to come to grips that Northside was simply the better team — at least on this day. “Northside is a good team,” Edwards said. “I wish them a lot See VOLLEYBALL • Page B2

Dadeville, Horseshoe Bend’s playoff hopes dashed
Dadeville had it all on the line Friday night when it hosted Childersburg, but from the opening kickoff, the Childersburg Tigers were obviously the stronger team in a game where they outgained Dadeville, 617-217. For the second year in a row, Dadeville has been ousted from the playoffs. This is the first time in nearly three decades that the Tigers have missed the postseason two years in a row. The last time it happened consecutively was 1987 and 1988. In that time, Dadeville has missed the playoffs just five times in addition to last year. Horseshoe Bend’s playoff hopes were also ended this week, as it fell to Woodland, 29-19. The near opposite of the Tigers, Horseshoe Bend was hunting down its first back-to-back playoff appearances since the 1998 and 1999 seasons.
Generals put two over 1,000
Despite Horseshoe Bend’s postseason dreams being thwarted, the Generals had two big milestones last week. Although running back Trace Meadows missed nearly three full games with an injury, he surpassed 1,000 yards on the ground. Quarterback Cade Worthy also went over the 1,000-yard mark. Entering Friday’s game, Worthy had 999 passing yards and easily surpassed the milestone with a 210yard performance.

Favorite team: Auburn University in football and the Golden State Warriors in basketball. Athlete most admired: Steph Curry Statistics: Hughley scored two touchdowns and gained 134 yards last week in Reeltown’s Hughley 55-0 victory over Fayetteville. He has scored six touchdowns in the last two weeks. down attempts in the first half against Vincent, and all three of them were turned into touchdowns by Hughley. “Coach told me just to wait my turn, and I’ve had a couple great runs,” Hughley said. “I’ve got good vision, and it helps that the line’s been blocking good.” What’s really impressed Johnson about Hughley’s development over the course of the season isn’t his yards per carry, though. It’s been more about his blocking ability. Hughley started as an eighth-grader for the Rebels in the first round of the playoffs two years ago, and he was an
absolute workhorse during Johnson’s first year at the helm last season. Now, he’s got one more notch under his belt. “In our system, one thing that we do that really shows maturity as a back is how well they block, and that’s one thing he has gotten better at,” Johnson said. “Watching Friday night and how (Hughley and Faison) blocked for each other is a real true sign of them maturing as backs. “Tre Tre had one run last week that was probably a 40or 50-yard run that would’ve been only 20 or 30 yards,
Rebels k known about otherwise. We’re healthier nnow than we have been all year.” Offensively, Loachapoka will look to throw the ball around a bit. Johnson ssaid the Indians quarterback, Aaron Frazier, who is just a sophomore, F manages the game well, and one of his m bbiggest targets is Tyrell Pierce. On the gground, the Rebels will be looking out for senior running back Jyquan Combs. fo “Defensively, they’re multiple,” JJohnson said. “They’ll run a 3-stack ssometimes, and sometimes they’ll be in what we used to call the ‘walk-around w D,’ where they’ll just be moving D aaround as the play is going. They’re bbased out of a three-man front, and
but Cam made the block that helped him score the touchdown.” The pair work well together. Reeltown’s Wishbone formation — where either can be a threat to touch the ball — has become a serious asset especially after the season-ending injury to Keke Hughley, Tre Tre’s brother. “That hurt a little bit because it took a big part out of the team with running our jet sweeps and all that, but Coach just said it was all on me and Cameron,” Tre Tre Hughley said. They’ve certainly lived up to the challenge.

they have a free safety who’s a real good ballplayer; he covers the whole field.” So far, the Rebels have been tough to stop offensively, and they’re coming off their biggest victory of the season. With Tre Tre Hughley and Cameron Faison coming out of the Wishbone formation, they’ve become a bit of a two-headed monster. Hughley can pound the ball, and Faison boasts a ton of perimeter speed. Defensively, Reeltown posted its first shutout of the season last week, and Johnson said the biggest defensive standout was Trey O’Neal, who continues to be a force at linebacker.
But as the old saying goes, with any rivalry game, you can throw records out the window. Reeltown will travel less than 17 miles on its trip to Loachapoka. The teams have played a total of 34 times, including every year since 2004, and Reeltown has come out on top in 27 of those games, including the last nine in a row. “This is a rival based off proximity,” Johnson said. “Both communities know each other very well, and the kids have known each other basically their whole lives. (Loachapoka) coach (Jerome) Tate and coach (Jackie) O’Neal coached against each other for a long time, so it created that rivalry as well.”

Drug Take-Back event hauls in 168 pounds of drugs By MITCH SNEED Editor
Despite some inclement weather, Saturday’s Drug TakeBack Event drew a steady turnout and again took in more than 100 pounds of expired and unwanted drugs. According to Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett, about 100 area residents participated in the event held at Walgreens in Alexander City. Participants brought 168.8 pounds of unused, unwanted and out of date drug items to the event. In addition to working to give people alternatives to flushing medications where they could end up in the water supply, officials say that prescription drug abuse is a growing problem and investigators are seeing teens who locate drugs that have been forgotten in medicine cabinets as well as burglars who actually target drugs like pain killers and drugs like OxyContin, Ritalin or Adderall and even things like powerful cough medications. The event was sponsored
by the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department, Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force, Drug Enforcement Agency, Alexander City Police Department and Middle Tallapoosa Clean Water Partnership. The items collected locally will be taken to one of the DEA’s four offices in the state and from there they will be taken to an incinerator and destroyed. Residents no longer have to wait to have a safe way to rid themselves of these unwanted drugs. The Middle Tallapoosa Clean Water Partnership and the Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force have partnered to “make everyday a drug take back day” with the placement of boxes to take back medications everyday. The boxes are located at Hometown Pharmacy in Alexander City, the Tallapoosa County Courthouse Annex and the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office location will be open 24 hours, seven days a week.
These 12 boxes contain 168.8 pounds of drugs that residents turned in Saturday as part of the annual Drug Take-Back program at Walgreens in Alexander City. The drugs will be taken to a Drug Enforcement Agency office to be incinerated. Submitted / The Record

USDA announces enrollment for safety net coverage STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that starting Nov. 1, farmers and ranchers with base acres in the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) or Price Loss Coverage (PLC) safety net program may enroll for the 2018 crop year. The enrollment period will end on Aug. 1, 2018. ‘’Since shares and ownership of a farm can change year-to-year, producers must enroll by signing a contract each program year,” said Farm Service Agency (FSA) Acting Administrator Steve Peterson. “I encourage producers to contact their local FSA off ice to schedule an appointment to enroll.” The producers on a farm that are not enrolled for the 2018 enrollment period will not be eligible for financial assistance from the ARC or PLC programs for the 2018 crop should crop prices or farm revenues fall below the historical price or revenue benchmarks established by the program. Producers who made their elections in previous years must still en roll during the 2018 enrollment period. “This week FSA is issuing approximately $850 million in rice payments, “ said Peterson. “These payments are part of the $8 billion in 2016 ARC and PLC payments that started in October to assist enrolled producers who suffered a loss of revenue or price, or both. Over half a million producers will receive ARC payments and over a quarter million producers will receive PLC payment s for 2016 crops.” The ARC and PLC programs were authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill and offer a safety net to agricultural producers when there is a substantial drop in prices or revenues for covered commodities. Covered commodities include barley, canola, large and small chickpeas, corn, crambe, flax seed, grain sorghum, lentils, mustard seed, oats, peanuts, dry peas, rapeseed, long grain rice, medium grain rice (which includes short grain and sweet rice), safflower seed, sesame, soybeans, sunflower seed and wheat. Upland cotton is no longer a covered commodity. For more details regarding these programs, go to www.fsa.usda.gov/arc-plc. For more in formation, producers are encouraged to visit their local FSA office. To find a local FSA office, visit http://offices.usda.gov.

Horseshoe Bend fashion show raises money for cancer research By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
Students and family members packed the common area at Horseshoe Bend School Tuesday afternoon for the ninth-annual Pink and Teal Fashion Show, hosted by the Horseshoe Bend FCCLA. Raising money for breast and cervical cancer research, the capacity crowd eagerly awaited what outfits the 34 students and one faculty member would show off. “This is our ninth annual fashion show,” FCCLA Advisor Felicia Williams said. “We started it as a pink fashion show for breast cancer research, but in 2015, we lost a faculty member to ovarian cancer. In her memory, we changed it up last year to pink and teal.” The audience showed their excitement throughout the show, as participants wore their best pink and teal clothing. In keeping with the Halloween theme of the event, some participants even wore pink and teal colored costumes, including a farmer, an elderly woman and a genie. Each contestant came out through an archway made to look like the entrance to a cemetery and modeled his or her outfit at each end of the stage before exiting off and returning to the library with the other participants.
“I’m very proud of what the FCCLA does — they work hard at what they do.” — James Aulner Horseshoe Bend principal After the last contestant left the stage, Williams called all 35 participants back out on to the stage to give the audience one final look at all the different outfits. The judges then tallied their final scores for all the contestants and the winners were announced. Janie Ann Clark took third place, Dakota Howard finished second and Rose Hodnett was named the first place winner, while school Student Information Manager Amandita “Pinkie” Burnette was named the overall winner of the fashion show. Williams said she did not have an exact count of how much the 2017 Pink and Teal Fashion Show had raised, but estimated it to be in the range of $500, every dollar of which would be going to the American Cancer Society. Along with the money raised through the show, Williams said the FCCLA recently sold nearly 1,200 “Boo-grams” as a way to both celebrate Halloween and help pay for the stage props used during the fashion show. “I’m very proud of what the FCCLA does,” Horseshoe Bend Principal James Aulner said. “They work hard at what they do.” Despite a few minor issues during the show, Williams felt the 2017 Pink and Teal Fashion Show was no less successful than previous shows. “Overall, it went pretty good. It was successful,” she said. “The kids enjoyed it and the audience enjoyed it. We are going to continue having it. We may look at moving it to the morning, but we’re still going to have it.”

Pipeline takes care of road issues By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
A project as large as the Sabal Trail Pipeline brings jobs and revenue to the area but it also creates a few problems. The equipment needed to complete such a project is large and sometimes can damage the roads in the area which is the case on several roads in Tallapoosa County. But Sabal Trail corrected the issues without using taxpayer funds. Tallapoosa County Engineer David Moore says the work was done in two phases. “Over the summer they paid a contractor to perform the needed minor repairs,” Moore said. Moore said they fixed roads near pipeline construction at Antioch Road, Whaley Ferry Road, Freeman Road, Parrot Road, Elder Road, Holloway Road, Dudleyville Road and on County Road 89 North. The crews with Gary Ingram Paving could be found this week on Brickplant Road and Campground Road near Sabal Trail’s compressor station paving. Since more and larger equipment was used in the area, Gary Ingram Paving was milling some and laying down asphalt plant mix, again at no cost to taxpayers. The work this week was paid for by Tallapoosa County but the funds for the work had already been received from Sabal Trail. “They paid the county $52,000,” Moore said. “They paid what it cost in that area to get the work done. It takes care of all the issues of the county roads involved in the pipeline.” Moore is thankful Sabal Trail took care of the issues created by the project. “It takes a burden off the taxpayers,” Moore said. “Everyone knows the revenue is not there for roads. It was very helpful.” The 515-mile pipeline project stretches from near Alexander City to Orlando, Florida and is owned by Spectra Energy, NextEra Energy and Duke Energy. According to Sabal Trail, the pipeline will generate $1.1 million annually in property tax in Tallapoosa County.

Silver Hairs represent senior interests in fine fashion W
ith all the changes and uncertainty surrounding Alabama government in recent months, including political appointments, high level resignations, special elections, runoff elections and a host of new candidates tossing their names into the 2018 election circus, Alabamians might be relieved to know one thing remains steady and solid and many may never have heard of it – Alabama’s Silver-Haired Legislature is one of Alabama’s crown jewels. This illustrious and distinguished array of Alabama’s senior leaders will convene in Montgomery next week. This elected body of 105 members will meet to discuss issues related to seniors but in some cases, they may have positive impacts on the state in general. Alabama’s Silver-Haired Legislature has met now for 24 years. They have had a significant impact on Alabama public policy. The idea of a body to represent seniors has been

around the nation since 1973. Most states now have a SilverHaired Legislature. The idea of a senior legislative institution was created to educate older Americans about issues of local, state, and national concern. The purpose is to insure that all 105 legislative districts have a senior legislator to mirror and provide some liaison with our 105 regular state legislators, assist them, and keep them apprised of senior issues that affect their constituents. The Silver legislators serve as conduits between the state’s area agencies on aging, Senior Centers, nutritional centers and generally being the eyes and ears of seniors related to finances, education, recreation, health and wellness. Unlike the regular legislature, the Silver-Haired body is unicameral and nonpartisan. They are from all parts of the state. The age requirement is that one must be over age 60. They pass resolutions, not bills. Their nonpartisanship makes for a much more effective and harmonious legislative session than our

regular legislature. These senior legislatures have historically been an extremely experienced collection of retired state employees, educators, business people, judges, former legislators, mayors, and public servants. Many have been involved with governance at all levels. Alabama is an aging state. By 2030 those age 60 and above will represent 27 percent of Alabama’s population. It is often overlooked, but this age shift is evolving. Currently it is estimated that nearly 20 percent of Alabama’s population is over 60. The fastest growing segment of our state’s population is our folks between the ages of 70 and 85. Projections are at the
next census one of every five Alabamians will be over 65. Therefore, it is appropriate that we have a senior legislature of over 60-year-olds looking after their interests. They were at the forefront and subsequently were the reason that an Elder Abuse statute was passed in the state. They were the first to address the issue of texting and driving. Legislation came out of that resolution. They have impacted the Medicaid budgeting problems and nursing home enhancements and regulations. They were the first to bring attention to the predatory payday lending business. They brought about public transportation for senior citizens who live in rural areas and small municipalities. They have sought assistance to better fund all Department of Senior Services. Their current leadership is stellar. The Speaker of the House is Steve Griffin of Tuscaloosa. Winston Griggs of Headland is Speaker Pro Tem. George Boswell of Wetumpka is Secretary. Sandra Harris of
Alexander City is Treasurer. Other leaders who serve on the board and are legislative leaders are Mary Jo Martin of Demopolis, Dean McCormack of Tuscumbia, Warner Floyd of Montgomery, Homer Homan of Brundidge, Selena Daniel of Opelika, Carol Oden of Vinemont and Ann Holman of Dothan. While much of the focus is on the younger generation, it will be those that have helped build the state who are quietly listening to the issues and helping plan the trajectory of state programs and politics who may actually have the loudest input at the ballot box and in helping shape the legislation that insures that Alabama remembers the needs of its seniors along with all of its citizens. See you next week.

In life, it really is all about time
hen I was a teenager, I had the good fortune of spending significant time with Fred C. Maples, the Minister of Music at our church. Fred was 52 years older than me. In the 1940’s and 50’s, he had been a very famous gospel singer. His group, the Harmoneers recorded on RCA Victor and Fred was posthumously inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2003. As a freshman, during summer break, I would go to Fred’s office and sit for hours listening to him talk about Gospel Music and his life as a performer. He was a hero to me. Because he sensed I had the stage in my future, he more than once told me this rule to follow. “Ray”, he would say, “Always give
people back a little time.” “Most people take what they are given plus a little more. If you are a singer, you might be given a spot on a program to perform for 30 minutes. Most will go 35 minutes. This puts the promoter in a difficult spot as he tries to adjust his show to compensate for your long set. Be the type of person who goes 28 minutes. The promoter will appreciate you. Plus you should always leave your audience wanting more.” I have never forgotten those true words. Fred passed away in 1987. Yet, that simple piece of advice has helped me numerous times in many different settings. Most people feel time drained. They are being pulled in many different directions by many competing forces. Respect

Are you taking every minute you can from people? Don’t do it. Leave them wanting more. Be a giver not a taker and your friends and associates will forever be grateful. I believe Fred C.

A Letter from Mayor Wayne Smith Welcome to Dadeville! Your new home is the county seat and the geographic center of Tallapoosa County, but more than that, it is a city of opportunities – a great place to raise a family, start a business and spend your retirement years. Business is good in Dadeville. In fact, construction starts now are better than they have been in the last 12 years. Wayne Smith There are four commercial projects in process, including a new AutoZone store in a shopping center on U.S. Highway 280 and the new Department of Human Resources building on Route 49. Not a week goes by that, along with the Lake Martin Economic Development Alliance, we aren’t talking with someone about bringing business and industry to the Dadeville area. We look forward to more growth in the next few years. We’re proud of all that Dadeville and the surrounding areas have to offer, from the exciting renovation of Keebler Park to the skills our young people gain at the Edward Bell Technical Center, which is a great resource for the entire community. Sales tax revenues are up this year, largely from increased tourism on Lake Martin, which plays a big part in driving the local economy. The lake is a great economic asset. That lake traffic keeps right on coming all through
football season, as we are conveniently located near Auburn University, and on home game weekends, more than 25,000 people come through our fine city, stopping in our restaurants and grocery stores and gas stations. As your mayor, I am pleased to welcome you to your new home, and I invite you stop in at City Hall to say hello. My door is always open. Wayne Smith Mayor of Dadeville Dadeville City Hall

lose to Auburn-Opelika, Atlanta and all points east, Lake Martin’s ‘Dadeville side’ provides a backdrop for endless fun and entertainment. From Irwin Shoals on the north to Thomas Martin Dam at the south end of the lake, the east lake offers more miles of shoreline than any other area of Lake Martin, and that just might mean more fun. Just north of Dadeville, Horseshoe Bend National Military Park daily draws an international audience to the historic battlefield that shaped the future of the nation more than 200 years ago. On this hallowed 2017-2018 Dadeville Magazine 8
ground in the bend of the Tallapoosa River, more than 900 men – the majority of them Red Stick Creek Indians – fought and died in March 1814 at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. The overwhelming victory of Gen. Andrew Jackson’s troops over the Creeks led to the cessation of 22 million acres of land to the U.S. and the eventual election of Jackson as the fledgling nation’s seventh president. Today, the park includes a visitor’s center housing artifacts and exhibits that honor both sides of the historic conflict. The descendants of Muscogee Creek

Indians who were driven west in the Trail of Tears often return to the park for reenactments and commemorative events, and the site of the battle remains an open field, marked only by posts along the line of the barricade behind which the Native Americans made their last stand. Open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. except on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s days, the grounds include a self-guided road tour, as well as a handicap-accessible nature trail. It is a popular spot for bird watching, bicycle riding and picnicking. A boat
ramp at the park is open from dawn to dusk daily. Flintlock musket demonstrations and guided tours of the battlefield are available by reservation, and school groups are welcome. Lesson plans and curriculum assistance are available online at www.nps.gov/hobe. For more information, call the visitor center at 256-2347111. From Bibb’s Ferry just outside the Tallapoosa County line to Jay Bird Creek Landing below Horseshoe Bend National Military Park, the Harold Banks Canoe Trail is a designated section of the Alabama Scenic River Trail. This 25-mile stretch of mostly flat water carries paddlers into the tranquility of central Alabama’s natural and undeveloped Piedmont. Native azaleas, rare Cahaba lilies and sightings of undisturbed wildlife are highlights reserved for those who choose this waterway less traveled. Canoe and kayak rentals and ferries can be arranged locally through Off the Beaten Path Alabama at 334703-2536 or visit the Facebook page. To the south, at the mouth of Manoy Creek, lies D.A.R.E. Power Park. Managed by Alabama Power Company, this 30-acre park includes a wide sandy beach, boat launch, public restrooms, an amphitheater, grills, picnic tables, pavilions and docks. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, the park is open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and is accessible by boat or automobile. The park is located on the east end of Young’s Ferry Road, west of Dadeville. Developed in 1997, D.A.R.E. Park was founded through the partnership of the power company and the Drug Awareness Resistance Education program for fourth-grade students at Tallapoosa County schools. To reserve a pavilion, call 256-825-8386. An undesignated popular beach just off the mouth of Manoy Creek, Big Beach is where the family party is on summer weekends at the lake. Pick up a football game, catch some rays or just relax to the sounds of laughter, lapping water and the music from somebody’s radio to while away the perfect day. South of Young’s Ferry Road, the Smith Mountain Fire Tower stands tall above Sandy Creek and holds a very special magic for visitors to Lake Martin. Rising more than 90 feet from the top of Smith Mountain, the restored fire tower offers a spectacular panoramic view of the lake. The 10-acre park includes more than 5 miles of trails that take day hikers through fern glades and stands of centuries-old longleaf pines, as well as groves of mountain laurel and native rhododendrons. The park and fire tower are managed by the Cherokee Ridge Alpine Trail Association, which has developed trail systems in several locations around the lake. CRATA’s outdoor environmental project at Smith Mountain will install signage and educational displays at the top of the mountain by next summer. Funded in part with a grant from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs Recreational Trail Program, the project will enhance visits to the park with information about other recreational areas around the lake and the history, geology and plant and animal life in the Lake Martin region. Blue Creek, south of Dadeville on Route 49, is one of Lake Martin’s most popular recreational areas. Chuck’s 2017-2018 Dadeville Magazine

Smith Mountain Fire Tower is one of the most popular stops on Lake Martin, as it offers incredible views of the lake
Marina on Blue Creek’s south shoreline is the site of several summer festivals and art shows and offers live entertainment throughout the summer. Stillwaters Golf Club offers a challenging 18-hole course that plays 6,906 yards from the back tees with more than 200 feet in elevation and clubhouse amenities after the round. Even on Lake Martin’s busiest days, boaters can find a quiet slough for swimming or smooth water for wake sports and skiing in Blue Creek. And just beyond the spot where Blue Creek empties into the Tallapoosa River, Chimney Rock is one of the lake’s best-known landmarks. Visitors congregate here to watch the daredevils jump from the high cliffs into the 150-foot depth of Lake Martin’s Blue Hole. Rafting up and flinking – floating and drinking – are favorite activities on this part of the lake. Opposite the famous jumping rock, the eastern shoreline here hosts CRATA’s Deadening Trail system. Definitely not for the novice, the Deadening winds along rocky paths through rock formations with names like the Needle’s Eye and Table Rock for a challenging but beautiful 4-plus mile hike that includes stunning views and, if hikers are lucky, frequent wildlife sightings. Overlook Park, 1 mile south of the Deadening on county Road 90, treats visitors to another CRATA hiking trail system, as well as a scenic view of the Big Water of Kowaliga Bay. Pick a spot – any spot – along the Dadeville side of Lake Martin for what just might be the most fun you’ve ever had at the lake.

Soapbox Derby brings families, community together STORY BY AMY PASSARETTI & PHOTO BY CLIFF WILLIAMS

adeville has initiated a new tradition with old roots as resident Marrell Ward organized the inaugural Ducky Ward Soap Box Derby for local children. Ward initially came up with the idea based on his own childhood memories and as a way to involve the community and bring families together. “Parents really enjoyed spending time with their children. Everyone was really enthusiastic about it,” said Ward, who grew up participating in soapbox derbies in Ocala, Florida. This year’s participants were aged from 6 to 15 years old and raced two at a time down Columbus Street next to the Dadeville football stadium. The average car sped down the hill at around 19 to 24 mph, with the speed being recorded by radar for kids to observe as they crossed the finish line. “A lot of people don’t realize when you’re sitting that close to the ground you’re moving pretty fast. It might not seem that fast, but a small object that low – it’s moving,” said Ward. Nearly 30 cars were built from any number of mediums imaginable, all different shapes and sizes, and the results were impressive. Ward said the concept is fairly simple, and cars are made mostly from wood, fiberglass, wheels and metal parts. All vehicles include brakes and hand-steering mechanisms; in addition, each rider is required to wear a helmet. Wanting to remain inclusive to those families that couldn’t afford the time or money to build their own cars, Ward handmade nine cars that were available for kids to use. “I enjoy piddling with stuff and working on things. I pulled the ideas from my head, my memory, from seeing things from years ago,” said Ward.
Russell Do it Center donated most of the materials for construction of Ward’s vehicles, and he said some children have already signed up to use the same car next time. “Hopefully, surrounding cities will pick it up and get involved, and that way you’ll have something going that kids can do pretty regular,” Ward said. The inaugural derby event took place in conjunction with a nonprofit festival that included family-friendly activities, a variety of food, inflatables, music and other vendors, with a turnout of close to 2,000 people. Ward received sponsorship and donations from local businesses and hopes continued sponsor participation will keep pricing free or low, so everyone could be involved. Now that children have their cars built and their enthusiasm high, Ward wants to coordinate more races throughout the year and maybe charge an entry fee to help fund the annual festival. Ward said the number of people who have told him they’ve decided to build a car for future events is unbelievable. Families are in the process of working on cars, and hardware stores said people are coming in to buy the necessary materials. The sheriff ’s department, police department, rescue squad and other local organizations all mentioned sponsoring the build of cars as well, to allow a child to participate and be able to race. “I was just extremely impressed with the people that got involved and still impressed with the way it’s going. Next year, it sure could be a large event. I really appreciate everyone’s participation and support,” Ward said.

Gresko’s students perform a scene from Suessical the Musical
Passion Promotes Possibilities
N
STORY BY BETSY ILER & PHOTOS BY CLIFF WILLIAMS
ow in her second year as music and fine arts teacher at Dadeville High School, Ashley Gresko is taking her students places – literally. As in New York City. “When we would finish a play in the auditorium, people from the audience would come up to the kids and tell them ‘you are just as good as Broadway,’ so I want to show them just how good Broadway really is,” Gresko said. In December, some 27 students – and the same number of parents and family members – will board a coach bus for an eight-day itinerary in the Big Apple. Students will see two Broadway productions and join a Broadway cast member workshop. They will dine at trendy restaurants, tour Radio City Music Hall and the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration and get to shop at Saks 5th Avenue. “It started as a trip for the choir class,” Gresko explained. “But when we added the Broadway shows to the itinerary, we opened it up to drama students as well. A trip like this is great for recruitment.” Gresko hopes that the trip will pique students’ interest two-fold: First, as an opportunity to learn more about the music and theatre skills taught in class curriculum; and second, to attract more students to take music and 12

performing arts classes. “A trip like this can show students how fun and exciting the classes can be, so the kids on the fence about signing up might come over to our side,” she laughed. She’s particularly excited about having arranged an 11 O’Clock Hour workshop, as it will address material for both of the arts classes she teaches – choir classes in the morning and theatrical skills in the afternoon, which is team-taught with her husband, Ryan, who is the school’s band director. “11 o’clock is the time when the big song and dance number usually comes during the second act of Broadway musicals, so that’s where the workshop name comes from. In these workshops, a cast member from the production teaches that big song and dance routine to the kids,” she said. Gresko, a symphony cellist, coached the show choir at Benjamin Russell High School before leaving the area several years ago to pursue further studies in music education. When the band director position opened up at DHS four years ago, the couple was happy to return to Tallapoosa County for Ryan’s job. Gresko took a music position at Central Alabama Community College and volunteered with the school plays at DHS. She interviewed
The first production, Annie, was met with rave reviews
for the music and fine arts teacher position in 2015 and jumped at the chance to develop a top-notch program here. Gresko is passionate about including high-quality arts education in everything she does. And to help make that happen this year, she’s launching two fundraisers that she hopes will build the program. “We’re doing a January fundraiser to get better lighting in the auditorium,” she explained. “We only have work lights – no overhead lights – and our spotlight is old and not very good. Last year, we raised money to upgrade the sound system and get six wireless mikes, and this year, we are hoping to do that kind of thing for the lighting.” The fundraiser – a recycled fashion show – also will include an environmental science element. Student and adult designers and models will fashion and showcase apparel made from at least 80 percent post-consumer products. “We already have several teachers on board with it,” Gresko said. “The second event will play off a theme for the spring musical. We are still working on the licensing, so I can’t say what the play will be yet, but the fundraiser will be a sock hop.” Gresko hopes the vintage-styled school dance will help to develop a costuming program in which students would create and alter costumes for the school’s productions. “Sewing really is a dying art. Many schools no longer can staff a home economics or family science curriculum, but that’s a skill that is used in theatre,” she said. “I have students that are interested in learning more about that.” The program would require at least six sewing machines in good operating order.
“What we would like to do is make poodle skirts for our show; and then, maybe we could take orders for poodle skirts for the dance,” Gresko said. Expanding the program to include costuming also could teach inventory management and organization skills that would be useful to students in future occupations. Sewing also enhances math skills, most notably geometry. “When DHS students took the military aptitude skills test recently, one of my students was so excited that she could answer the questions about tools, like jigsaws, because she had learned about them in our section on set construction for the theater,” Gresko said. DHS Principal Chris Hand said the music and performing arts classes have grown exponentially since the Greskos joined the faculty. “We now have 78 students in band, and our choir sang the national anthem at our first football game this year. The drama class is, I think, 24 students, and even students who aren’t in the class are involved in the play, which is an afterschool project,” he said. Gresko estimated that more than 65 DHS students take part in producing the school’s annual spring production. Gresko’s passion reaches beyond her own classes, as students in her unit on puppetry this year will write, design, create and stage their own puppet shows, which will be performed for elementary school students in Dadeville. The real show, then, is the fabric of opportunities and life skills that the Greskos can teach through the performing arts, and the trip to New York is just a part of how they’re weaving that fabric in Dadeville. 2017-2018 Dadeville Magazine

Preserve the Past Historical society educates on the county’s history with museum and historical markers STORY & PHOTOS BY AMY PASSARETTI
D
adeville is home to the Tallapoosa County Museum, which preserves, protects and promotes the area’s rich local history by bringing the past to life. Built and maintained by the Tallapoosee Historical Society, the museum currently encompasses two adjacent buildings and spans a myriad of exhibits to educate on the county’s history for generations to come. “A group was established in 1969 to organize a historical association to secure, preserve and display artifacts, historical documents and items of interest. That same society volunteers its time to manage the museum,” said Joan Sampson, vice president of the Tallapoosee Historical Society. The museum began with three used display cases in the basement of the Dadeville Public Library. It moved a few times until the Bank of Dadeville donated the current building as a permanent location in 2001. The society recently purchased the adjacent dime store building and spread the museum’s items into the two areas. Open to the public on Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the museum includes nearly 20 exhibits displaying items and documents that have been 100 percent donated by local community members. Exhibits include a Victorian living room, featuring a pump organ and Victrola record player; an old kitchen and stove display; exhibits on the Tallapoosa banks from years ago; items depicting the gold mines, including a weight scale; a section on clothing, from wedding dresses to baby clothes, hats, quilted items and more; a schoolhouse section with old desks, game day apparel, photos and documents; an old barber chair; a furniture 16

wagon from Duncan & Sons; antique tools; typewriters; two famous law office displays; diplomas from the Graefenberg Medical Institute (1852-1861); a war section with uniforms, weapons and ammo; old post office boxes; an exhibit about Martin Dam; Battle of Horseshoe Bend displays; an antique toy section where children are allowed to play; a stamp collection and more. “When you walk through the museum, it’s like walking through the past, especially for older people. They can remember a lot of these items used by their parents or grandparents. And let me tell you, children are fascinated by things such as the manual typewriters Tallapoosa County Museum is located and dial in downtown Dadeville phones,” said Sampson. The exhibit is always growing through donations, and residents can research their genealogy in a section containing old annuals, records and logs. “We’ve been trying to gather exhibits from all the local communities because in the past, they were even more important. Lives revolved around these specific areas, and we want them all to be well represented in the museum,” said Sampson. The Tallapoosee Historical Society, which uses the ancient Indian spelling of the county name, has about 100 members from all over the state. The group thrives on memberships for funding and maintenance of its museum and programs, and the cost is $20 to join as an individual and $25 for a family. Members meet four times a year, on the third Sunday of the first month in each quarter (January, April, July and October). In the early years, the society sponsored tours of historic sites, which are now marked by historical markers around the area.
The museum features more than 20 exhibits of items donated by community members

All towns and communities in the county are well represented
There are currently 22 historical markers with official signage depicting the sites’ importance and history of the area, events or buildings. The signs are sponsored by the Alabama Historical Association, which helps with funding and placement, and they include locations, such as Edward Bell High School, Court Square, original churches in the area, Graefenberg Medical Institute, Lyman Ward Military Academy and more. “At the time Alabama was celebrating its bicentennial, the society was formed. We make efforts in what we have done throughout the museum to preserve the past and educate the future,” said Sharon Gaither, secretary/treasurer for the Tallapoosee Historical Society.

eebler Park was created nearly 20 years ago as a collaborative community effort and a place where families could retreat to the outdoors. Dadeville resident Dianna Porter had a vision to upgrade and expand the park to develop it as an educational, interactive arboretum. Last July, Porter approached the Dadeville City Council about her inspiration for the park, and the progress she has already made is immense. “I had been walking in this park for more than Dianna Porter a year and one day just is spearheading thought, ‘you know, this a renovation would be a great living at Dadeville’s classroom and great Keebler Park wildlife habitat’,” said Porter. Before committing to anything long-term, Porter wanted to ensure she had the community’s support and, more importantly, positive feedback from the school system. Her ultimate goal is for the local schools to design, build and maintain a rain garden, butterfly garden and new signage at the park as part of their curriculum and community service requirements. “I didn’t want to start without the longterm commitment from caretakers to care for it. The only reason I have gone forward is because area schools have stepped up. The theme for this year with the school is ‘bringing the public back to public education.’ This is a fitting project, so the public can see what the school is doing and the students can show the community what they’re involved in,” said Porter. The park includes a 1/2-mile paved walking trail, which is used frequently by walkers and the high school cross-country team. A Creation Plantation playground at the park is maintained by the Dadeville Kiwanis Club. Porter, who is a Master Gardener and grew up on a cattle ranch, said this area is a hotbed for natural wildlife habitats and native plants and trees that can be studied. While the entirety of her concept will likely be a

five- to 10-year project, the initial steps of mapping out an area and beginning the design for a rain and butterfly garden have already been taken. Students have begun design of a rain garden that will help slow down storm-water runoff to enhance its absorption into the ground. “The main functions of a rain garden not only slow the water down, but it also filters off 1/4 inch of bad runoff that is full of potential chemicals and helps control erosion. The garden part of it is identifying plants that can grow in wet or dry environments and picking out the correct plants for the area,” explained Porter. The butterfly garden will coincide with the rain garden project and will include many pollinator plants that will be installed this fall. These plants will form a natural habitat to attract butterflies. Once it cools down, Porter said, they also would plant nectar trees and shrubs, such as tulip poplars and pawpaw. These areas, along with about 60 native tree varieties growing throughout the park, will be marked with educational, flip-board signage to promote education about the local plant life. Signs will include descriptions of the trees’ leaves, their common names, scientific names and basic information about the individual species. Porter and expert consultants have already marked off certain trees to be identified, along with some that need to be limbed or even completely removed. “We may leave a lot of trees for natural wildlife habitat reasons or add and remove others for the same reason. We will also designate signage that indicates an area with a wildlife habitat,” said Porter, who hopes to include a soil horizon area for laboratory purposes. The creation of an outdoor classroom will allow students to learn hands-on and will be a formal atmosphere in which teachers could instruct students

Porter, park officials and Master Gardeners discuss placement of the rain garden
about the surrounding environment. Just for fun, Porter said, she hopes to include a fairy garden where children could play with sticks in the dirt to create homes for fairies. Some other long-term goals that could aid in the park’s renovations include restoring benches in the shelter areas and adding signage for birdwatchers, indicating birds that can be spotted in the park; picnic tables will be restructured and moved to more accessible areas; and handicap-accessible paths will be created with mulch to allow for wheelchairs and walkers to move around more easily. The parking lot will be straightened out and re-paved in areas, and the entrance sign will be re-done with a more formal, aesthetically pleasing look. A map of the park will be available at the entrance, along with signs explaining the significance of the park, a description of the interpretive signage that will be found inside; how to use the walking path for wellness; and information about the native habitat, rain and butterfly gardens. The Edward Bell Career Technical Center students have agreed to fabricate and maintain the signs, and the Master Gardeners will provide money for tree markers. “I’ve just started looking toward the community to provide funding. I don’t want to necessarily raise donations but to have businesses and local organizations sponsor a phase of the park and be responsible for seeing it through,” Porter said. Lake Martin Resource Association recently agreed to support the rain garden project. LMRA President John Thompson said he hopes the research students will conduct for the rain garden will teach them to be good stewards of the environment. “This is exactly the kind of community project that falls within our mission statement and we’re excited to be a part of it,” Thompson said. Many ideas and their implementation would not be possible without the support of the community members, school system and city government, said Porter. She added that part of the goal is to demonstrate that Dadeville is more than just a drive-by on Highway 280 and that Keebler Park is a draw for the area. “When people go to Dadeville’s website, I want them to be able to pull up pictures of Keebler Park. To be able to say what the park is would be a big plus to show everything Dadeville has to offer,” said Porter. 2017-2018 Dadeville Magazine

Lake Martin Community Hospital The town of Dadeville has a local source for a wide range of healthcare services in a small town atmosphere. Lake Martin Community Hospital strives to serve patients in the Lake Martin area with local, cost-effective care and personalized, compassionate service, according to Ashley Benton, LMCH director of marketing. “We are dedicated to providing the foremost quality care for the community we call home and perpetually exceed our patients’ expectations,” said Benton. The 12-physician staffed medical facility works with stateof-the-art diagnostic technology to remain efficient and effective with the necessary resources. “We go above and beyond expectations to provide outstanding service with a human touch,” Benton said. The hospital is supportive of community organizations and was a pacesetter for the 2016 United Way campaign. Ut aksi received the Business of the Year award this year by the Dadeville Chamber of Commerce. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recognized the facility for its organ, eye and tissue donation program with which it’s been involved for many years, and LMCH’s hospice team has received several prestigious awards over the last few years, according to Benton. LMCH is located at 201 Mariarden Rd., Dadeville, and can be reached at 256-825-7821.

Utilities & Home Set-up After signing a lease or closing on your new home in Dadeville, one of your highest priorities will be setting up housekeeping, including arranging for utilities, internet and phone service. Especially if you move during football season, you’ll want to have cable or satellite service in place before the weekend games, and you also have just 30 days to register your vehicle in Alabama. Fortunately, these services and more are easy to arrange in Dadeville and the surrounding areas. Water, Sewer & Gas To arrange water and sewer service in Dadeville, visit Debbie Minor at City Hall at 265 N. Broadnax St. For homeowners, the water deposit is $50 and $100 for renters. Garbage deposits are $57.50 for residential and $60 for commercial or industrial. If your new home or business has gas service, you could also make those arrangements at Dadeville City Hall. Gas deposits are $75 for homeowners and $150 for renters. Garbage Pickup Regular garbage service in Dadeville is provided by Advanced Disposal through a contract with the City. Household garbage pickup routinely is Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday; call City Hall at 256-825-9242 to learn which route your new home is on. Large household items, such as furniture, are picked up Thursdays, and limbs and yard waste are picked up Fridays. If you live inside city limits, you can take household items to the city dump on Young’s Ferry Road after paying a $10 fee at City Hall and making arrangements to be met at the dump. County residents can arrange garbage pickup directly with Advanced Disposal by calling 1-866-252-0458. County pickup is once per week, and trashcans should be set on the curbside by 5 a.m. on collection day. Electricity Start, stop or transfer electric service with Alabama Power Company online at www.alabamapower.com.

Tallassee St. Cable & Satellite Charter Spectrum is the local fiber and cable service for television and internet. To set up service, call 833-2676097.
