The New Brockton Police Department will remain in its current location after a 4-2 vote during a March 2 town council meeting characterized by what one spectator called “childish” bickering.

An ongoing disagreement between Mayor Lenwood Herron and council mem-bers Jack Young and Doug Pittman, all of whom were elected last November, contin-ued at the February meeting, where Herron responded to a proposal that Young tried to present at the January meeting.

At that time, Young was asked to leave the town council meeting after trying to present a proposal to fellow council mem-bers about the relocation and manpow-er reduction of the New Brockton Police Department.

Council members Young and Pittman clarified to the council and attending citi-zens that it is, and was, never their intention, now or during their campaign, to shut the police or fire department down.

Young’s proposal included suggestions to move the police department from its cur-rent location on John Street to the current town hall on McKinnon Street, reduce the police force to two full-time officers and one part-time, prohibit police officers to take their patrol cars home and form a commit-tee to investigate how other towns similar to New Brockton operate their police force.

Herron said Young and Pittman’s “veiled attempts to handcuff the police department” are “clearly unacceptable.”

T hirteen-year-old Leo Perdue remembers the many nights as a “young” boy that he would get on his knees and pray that God would bring him and his siblings an extraordinary miracle.

After several years of work by the Coffee County Department of Human Resources, a family of four became a family of seven and Leo received an answer to his prayers.

Leo, 13, and his siblings, Lukas, 8, and Leilani, 2, their dark brown hair neatly combed and their brown eyes sparkling with excitement, were officially adopted Friday by Ernie and Phyllis Perdue — the first

From Staff Reports

An Enterprise man accused of molesting a child

under the age of 12 and mak-ing threats against local offi-cials must undergo a mental evaluation before a Coffee County judge will consider releasing him on bond.

Pending the evaluation, District Judge Paul Sher-ling denied bond for Alfredo Joseph Contreras, 42, after hearing evidence that guns and a journal containing death threats were found at Contre-

ras’ home.Contreras, of Antler Drive

in Enterprise, is charged with first-degree sodomy. He was arrested on warrants March 3 by special agents from the Attorney General’s Office, the Alabama Bureau of Investiga-tion and the Fort Rucker Crim-inal Investigation Division.

Contreras’ case is being handled by the Attorney Gen-eral’s Office.

“After allegations of this crime were brought to my office, the matter was reviewed by investigators and I assigned it to my Family Protection Unit for appropriate action,” Attor-ney General Troy King said.

Following several weeks of investigation ordered by King, Contreras was taken into custody as he was leaving the Fort Rucker fire station where he works.

He was taken to the Cof-fee County Sheriff ’s Depart-ment for a criminal interview and was booked on charges there. He was later transferred to the Covington County Jail, where he is currently being held.

At Contreras’ first appear-ance in court Friday, the Alabama Attorney General’s

The Coffee County Commission got an education Monday in what Newsweek magazine has called “Ameri-ca’s most dangerous drug,” methamphetamine, and what it can do to its users, their families and the community.

Members of the Coffee County Sheriff’s Department showed a presentation entitled “Meth360” that included slideshows of the physical and mental effects of metham-phetamine, what chemicals are used in its production, prevention and treatment.

Officers brought in a display of the materials such as lighter fluid, acetone, cold medicine, iodine and other products used in methamphetamine production to show the deadly chemicals that addicts put into their bodies.

“We’ve put a lot of work into this presentation,” said Sheriff Dave Sutton, who added that he and investigator Deke Skinner would show the presentation to any school or organization that is interested in learning more about the dangerous drug.

Sutton said that he intends to use the three-hour-long presentation to educate and inform citizens of Cof-fee County of the dangers of the drug.

“We’ll take it to any organization or school,” said Sut-ton. “We want to make it readily available.”

Methamphetamine, also known as meth, crank, crystal or speed, is a powerful, highly addictive central nervous system stimulant that can be smoked, injected or snorted.

Two-thirds of the country’s meth is manufactured in “super labs’ in Mexico and southern California.

The Enterprise Chamber of Commerce has once again proven it-self to be among the best of the best after receiving accreditation from the United States Chamber of Commerce.

The honor is given to only 4 percent of the chambers throughout the country.

“We have consistent-ly been accredited since 1981,” said Phil Thomas, Enterprise Chamber president. “I am tremen-dously proud of our staff, board and volunteers who spent countless hours completing the ac-creditation process.”

The process is not easy, Thomas explained. In the past year, the process has become even more stringent.

In order to become accredited, a chamber is judged in nine different categories including the organization’s facility, legislative and govern-ment activities, technol-ogy and its financial organization.

Completion of the accreditation application can take up to three to six months, he said, add-ing the process can be extended if supplemental information is required.


City leaders and in-surance adjusters are in disagreement about the amount of damage the former Enterprise Civic Center sustained follow-ing a direct hit from a tornado last year.

Enterprise Mayor Kenneth Boswell announced March 3 that though the city’s architectural engineers have determined the civic center was a “total loss,” insurance adjusters believe the building can be repaired.

Boswell received an electronic report of insur-ance adjusters’ itemized reports of damages to the center and said he believes it to be a low estimate.

Engineers, he said, have looked at the adjusters’ repair claims and remain in disagree-ment as to the amount of damage the structure sustained.

Boswell said he and engineers will be meeting with insurance adjusters in the near future in an effort to “settle the claim.”

In Boswell’s opinion, he said, if the insurance company wants the city to “repair the building the way you want us to, you better take the risk (to insure the building).”

He warned council members the insurance claim might not “be what we want it to be” even after further negotiations are made.

Adequate funding is a necessity in order for a city to grow, prosper and build its infrastructure. Enterprise Mayor Kenneth Boswell told Rotarians Feb. 17 he plans to work throughout the year to ensure the city secures all available funding needed to continue as the City of Progress.

In order for the city to grow, Boswell said in his annual State of the City address, outlining short and long-term goals for transportation, education, rec-reation and economic development is a priority.

“If you don’t have a plan, then you can’t accomplish anything. We have been somewhat successful with this over the last six years and we want to con-tinue with this line of success. I make sure State Rep. Terry Spicer and Sen. Jimmy Holley have a copy of this (a list of city goals). It makes sure all of us are singing off the same sheet of music and we know what direction we are headed in,” Boswell said. “If you don’t put it on paper and set goals then you won’t ever accomplish anything. I have actually set personal goals in my mind that I really think would help the city.”

A major project Boswell said has been an ongoing lobbying goal and will remain so in the future is the addition of lanes from Highway 167 from Troy to the Florida line.

“We have consistently lobbied with the state over the last six years on an annual basis. I feel that it is important to stay in front of ALDOT. If they don’t know that you are interested in the project then they are absolutely not going to come down here and knock on your door and say hey, let’s give you a bunch of money to put an additional lane in,” he said.

Some headway has been made in the project, Boswell said. The Ala-bama Department of Transportation has approved and is funding the expansion in 2010 of Highway 167 from Boll Weevil Circle to Salem Road.

“We are already getting ready for

the first part of it with the widening of the bypass to Salem Road to the tune of about $12 to $15 million worth,” he explained.

Though Boswell said he is pleased that a portion of the highway will be expanded, he plans to continue through-out the current and upcoming years to lobby for expansion of the entire high-way.

“Alabama Highway 167 is increas-ingly becoming a highly traveled and vital artery for north-south traffic in southeast Alabama. This project is important to all transportation in the area, including local, transient, business and industries,” he said.

Currently, no plans are outlined by ALDOT for expansion of the highway past Salem Road.

Boswell said he is pleased the expan-sion of Highway 84 from Boll Weevil Circle to New Brockton will soon begin.

The project, he explained, is the next step in the expansion of Highway 84 to Andalusia and eventually the Mis-sissippi state line. It is his belief, he said, the expansion of Highway 84 to its even-tual end in Texas “would enhance eco-nomic development and tourism for the region.”

As lanes are added to Boll Weevil Circle between Highway 27 South and Highway 84 West, Boswell said the city is working to secure funding to com-plete the expansion of the bypass in its entirety.

Because of future businesses and homes locating in the area often referred to as the south side of town, the four-laning will increase the safety of drivers in this soon-to-be high-traffic area.

Boswell said he understands the project could take a large amount of time, but he will continually lobby ALDOT for the highway’s expansion.

Securing funding to provide safety for residents and motorists will continue, he said, to be a high priority during 2009 and upcoming years.

Two ways Boswell is working to make the city’s highways safe is by pro-viding lighting and traffic signals.

Phase 1 of project geared at lighting the entire Boll Weevil Circle was complet-ed last year with “very little to no match from the citizens of Enterprise,” he said. “I am looking for Phase II to try to finish up the lighting. If you don’t have it down and they are not aware that you are look-ing for it (funding for a specific project), again, they (ALDOT) are not going to knock on your door to give you money.”

In deciding future projects for the city, Boswell said hazardous traffic areas have been targeted as locations to install traffic signals in an effort to promote safety.

“We have been successful in getting a signal light at Porter Lunsford Road. My next hurdle or project that I would really like to see come to fruition is a light at Freedom Drive where there have been so many accidents,” he explained. “It has been approved by ALDOT, but it has not been funded by ALDOT. I am hoping that the stimulus will accelerate that project.”

Two projects Boswell hopes will be funded in 2010, possibly as a result of stimulus funding, are the resurfacings of Rucker Boulevard and East Lee Street.

ALDOT, Boswell explained, is work-ing to resurface Highway 27 by working its way north. East Lee Street, he added, is a state corridor for Highway 27.

“I have started already lobbying with them for 2010 to finish that resur-facing from the bypass inwards,” Boswell said.

With a portion of Rucker Boulevard already complete, Boswell said he has made a personal goal to see the boule-vard resurfaced in its entirety in the next couple of years.

“There again, phase I of that is com-plete and I am working to have the entire road to the gate to Enterprise finished up in 2010,” he explained.

The project has been approved and city officials are currently waiting for funds from ALDOT.

The city is also consulting with ALDOT to add a turn lane on Highway 88 into the Oak Ridge subdivision.

As corporate air traffic increases in

Enterprise, it is important to have a well-maintained airport on the operational and aesthetic standpoint.

Boswell said that the airport could be a strong industry recruitment tool as corporate executives search for new business locations or visit existing opera-tions.

Through funding from the Federal Aviation Administration and ALDOT Aeronautics Bureau, the airport plans to install new lighting and taxiway striping.

The development of updated rec-reation facilities is also important for the appeal of the city, Boswell said.

The city is continuing to apply for funding on the concrete sidewalk added to the Enterprise Recreational Complex.

A grant has also been awarded to add four new picnic pavilions at the Enterprise Recreational Complex.

In a statement from the mayor’s office, the city feels that with the ongoing growth spurt, the new pavilions should be added to accommodate the citizens.

The project is currently in the design phase.

“We need to locate a walking trail and we need a complex solely dedicated to football and soccer. Those fields are similar and it would be a multipurpose type facility where they could be inter-changeable. We need to try to locate something on the south side of town. We have a large park on the north side so if we can get it on the south side, three areas of the city will have recre-ation facilities,” he said. “You have the Westside Community that has done a fantastic job in bringing that park up to speed and being a partnership with the city. Hopefully over time we can also do something with the east side.”

Boswell said he hopes to see the development and completion of each of the projects in the upcoming couple of years and will work throughout the year to secure future funding for the projects.

“This is the business of the people and I am looking at this like it is a busi-ness and should show productivity every day in some way, shape, form or fash-ion,” he said.

Mayor outlines goals for city’s infrastructure


Back in 2006, a man from Birmingham took a chance and auditioned for “Ameri-can Idol” while on vacation in Las Vegas.

That man ended up cap-turing the attention of the nation with his quirky attitude and soulful singing style and eventually became America’s top choice in the season six finale of “American Idol.”

Though not as main-stream as several past win-ners, Alabama’s own Taylor Hicks has been very busy since his win on “American Idol.”

Hicks is currently finish-ing a tour with the Broadway musical version of “Grease” in which Hicks plays the role of Teen Angel.

With no time wasted, the soulful singer is releasing his sophomore album “The Distance,” which hit stores March 10.

The album’s first catchy single is entitled “What’s Right is Right.”

In a telephone inter-view last week, Hicks said he is looking forward to the album’s release and his sub-sequent tour.

Hicks said that the album is a collection of dif-

ferent styles, and adds “more Taylor.”

The album mixes soul, rhythm and blues and gospel into a collection of stories.

I think there’s some real-ly great story songs on the record,” said Hicks. “It’s got a lot of different styles. (The album) is not just one style.”

Hicks said that the major-ity of the album was written over a six-month period in Nashville.

Hicks referred to the songs on his album as his children, and enjoyed the creative process of watching each of them grow.

“It’s a reflection of the

American Idol’s Taylor Hicks to release new album

styles of music that I am influenced by,” said Hicks.

“I’m really excited about the players that were actually playing on the record. I did a lot of work with Eric Clap-ton’s back-up band. Nathan East is on bass and Doyle Bramhall is on guitar.

“It’s basically Eric Clap-

ton’s band, minus Eric Clap-ton and adding me,” said Hicks. “It’s one of those dream-come-true kind of things.”

Hicks said that he still speaks with friend and for-mer bandmate Mitch Jones of Enterprise, who Hicks said he would introduce as the man from the “Boll Weevil Capital of the World.”

After finishing the Broad-way tour of “Grease” in June, Hicks plans to begin touring to promote the album.

Hicks said that ideas have been discussed on tour-ing around Alabama depend-ing on how well the record sells and a stop in the Wire-grass may be a possibility.

“We’ll see,” Hicks said. “I really plan on seeing a lot of Alabama when I tour this record.”

Monday afternoon wreck backs up trafficTraffic came to a standstill Monday afternoon while emergency workers carry 30-year-old Danny Barber to Fort Rucker’s Flatiron medevac helicopter. Berber’s vehicle, a 1992 Pontiac Bonneville, was struck by a Cadillac driven by Mary Blackmon, 70. The accident occurred while Barber was traveling east on Highway 84 West. He was flown to a Dothan hospital to be treated for injuries suffered when his vehicle began to flip into the median of the highway following the collision. He was not wearing his seatbelt, according to police reports. No other injuries were reported. Emergency workers from Enterprise and Covington County responded to the accident.

A joint investigation by Enterprise and Daleville narcot-ics investigators Thursday led to the recovery of approximately 7 pounds of marijuana and the arrest of a Daleville man.

Dante Elijah Page, 25, was taken into custody and charged with trafficking in marijuana and possession of a controlled substance, according to Capt. Mike Lolley, public information officer for the Enterprise Police Department.

The arrest came after Daleville police officers received information Thursday Page would be delivering a large amount of marijuana to a resi-dence in Enterprise.

Joining forces, police offi-cers from both cities began a surveillance of Page.

He was spotted in Enter-prise on Dixie Drive, Lolley said,

but failed to stop for police offi-cers.

Page instead turned into an apartment complex, hopped out from his vehicle and began running from officers.

He was chased through a wooded area by investigators and patrol officers and was within moments apprehended, Lolley said.

“Police recovered approxi-mately 2 pounds of marijuana that Page threw down and recovered two Lortab pills from his pocket,” he said.

Daleville officers then obtained a search warrant for Page’s Daleville home, said Daleville Police Sgt. Allen Med-ley.

“Nobody was at home at the time of the search,” he said.

Officers were, however, able to make entry into the home.

Several small bags of mari-juana were found throughout

the home in addition to small plastic bags and tools to pack-age the drug, Medley explained.

A big discovery was made when officers entered Page’s garage and discovered 4 1/2 pounds of marijuana hidden inside a deep freezer that was not on.

“The marijuana was in large brick form,” he said.

Officers during the search also discovered two weapons, a rifle and pistol.

The serial numbers from both weapons were obtained and officers are investigating whether the weapons may have been used or stolen in another crime.

Medley said at this point officers have no indication the weapons have been used to commit any crimes.

The investigation into Page is ongoing by Daleville and Enterprise police officers.

Additional charges may be

Chism’s wound was not

considered life threatening and he was released from Flowers Hospital Monday.

In other crime news, an Enterprise woman was taken into custody after allegedly stealing a medical prescription pad and attempting to fill fake prescriptions.

April Ann Tripp, 24, was

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder recently said that he would push for the reinstatement of the expired 1994 ban on assault weapons. This week, I plan to join many of my colleagues in the House of Representatives in sending a letter to the Attorney General urging him to reconsider his intent to reinstate the ban.

Statistics have shown that the ban on assault weapons had little effect on lowering crime and in fact, crime continued to fall even after the ban was lifted several years ago. In my opinion, the only thing the ban did was infringe on Americans’ constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Furthermore, I was disappointed that Attorney General Holder would choose to address such a controversial issue when Americans across the country are losing their jobs and while the economy continues to struggle.

I hope that the Attorney General reconsiders his position. In the meantime, you can rest assured that I will oppose any action I consider a violation of your gun rights.

Protecting Small BuSineSSeS in a tough

economyI recently joined

Congressman Bill Posey (R-FL) in introducing bi-partisan legislation to exempt certain products sold by thrift stores and charities from new federal regulations contained in the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008. H.R. 1027, the Thrift Store Protection Act, would temporarily exempt second-hand items such as children’s clothes and shoes from the regulations.

The legislation is needed

because many thrift stores, including The Salvation Army, have expressed concern because their inventory of children’s clothing, textiles, shoes and books has become subject to the new regulatory laws that were passed last year. The CPSIA was well intentioned legislation, but it had unintended consequences for small businesses and families in need of inexpensive clothing for their children.

H.R. 1027 is a common sense bill that continues to protect our children from potentially harmful toys but allows thrift stores to remain a viable option during a time in which demand for their clothes is on the rise. I hope that Congress considers and passes this legislation.

civil rightS Pilgrimage to alaBama

This past weekend, dozens of Members of Congress and dignitaries from around the country came to Alabama for the 9th Annual Civil Rights Pilgrimage hosted by the Faith and Politics Institute. The group made stops in Birmingham, Selma, and in the Second District in Montgomery. I joined the group for their stops

in Montgomery, including at the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was once the pastor.

The pilgrimage was a success and it was a true honor to be a part of it. It was especially important for people around the country to get a first-hand look at the progress Alabama has made in the last 50 years. History is something that we know and understand well in the Second District, and our collective history was on full display over the weekend. It was a memorable experience for me and everyone who participated in the pilgrimage, and I was proud of the way that Alabama hosted and accommodated its guests.

As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call our offices in Montgomery at (334) 277-9113 or Dothan at (334) 794-9680.

It is my great pleasure to serve you and the entire Second District of Alabama.

Slings and arrows have been hurled at Russellville State Sen. Roger Bedford for over a decade because of his legendary ability to get extra state dollars for his northwest Alabama district. As Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee he has had immense power appropriating and distributing taxpayers’ money to his constituents. It is because of the largesse of political bacon brought home to his area that he has been dubbed by the state media as the Pork King of Goat Hill.

Although Bedford has been tarred and feathered by the state press for getting pork for the folks in the northwest corner of the state, the home folks love him. He is a hero in his home county and area. The state press hates the fact that they cannot affect his popularity in his district.

Bedford’s prowess as a power in the Legislature seems to be inherent in his corner of northwest Alabama. The area has bred powerful legislators for several generations. Prior to Bedford, Joe Fine was a native of Russellville and a practicing lawyer in his hometown. Both men are strikingly similar. Besides both being from Russellville and both being lawyers, they both went to the Senate at a young age and both quickly became effective. In addition, both

are very smart, very articulate and quick studies on the art of parliamentary procedure. They both became one of the most effective and influential senators almost immediately. Both ran unsuccessful campaigns for Attorney General. Fine is now arguably the most prominent contract lobbyist in Montgomery and Bedford is easily one of the three most powerful members of the State Senate.

Even though Bedford and Fine have made their mark as wielding immense clout for their northwest Alabama home, they neither one can hold a candle to their predecessor the legendary Rankin Fite. Mr. Fite served one term in the Senate during the Folsom era and was a Big Jim man. However, he moved to the House of Representatives in the 1960s and became Speaker of the House. Now, you talk about

a pork king. If you think the press has had a field day with Roger Bedford, today’s media would have gone berserk with Rankin.

Rankin Fite did everything but move the Capitol to northwest Alabama. He practically rebuilt his hometown of Hamilton with new streets and sewer systems. Rankin had made a fortune as a divorce lawyer in the quickie divorce system Alabama had created in the 1960s. He got state funds to build an airport for Hamilton that would rival any airport of cities 10 times its size so he could fly his plane to and from the Capitol and would not have to drive. It was simply unbelievable how much pork he brought home to northwest Alabama.

Rankin wielded tremendous power as presiding officer of the House. If you crossed Rankin you better watch out. He had a memory like an elephant and believed in rewarding his friends and punishing his enemies. The Governor wanted Rankin in the Speaker’s chair. He ran a tight ship.

As a young boy in the 1960s I was a House Page and I remember Rankin Fite. I would watch him carefully. Although he was beginning to suffer from palsy and his hand would shake uncontrollably with the gavel, it had not affected his mind.

As a youngster I was learning the legislative process and my mentor and representative would patiently answer all of my questions. There was this young loquacious representative from Birmingham who was always ranting and introducing bills. Nobody seemed to like him much, especially old Rankin. He would ignore the young whipper snapper until everybody else had been recognized.

One day the fellow had a real buzz on. He had a bill that was going to change Alabama’s entire tax system. Rankin automatically sent the young fellow’s bill to the Highway Safety Committee. This confused me because I had learned that all revenue bills go to the Ways and Means Committee. So I asked my mentor when and where does the Highway Safety Committee meet? He said, it doesn’t. It was Rankin’s private graveyard committee. He was Chairman and they never met. So if he did not like you and your legislation, your agenda met a quick and permanent death in the Highway Safety Committee.

Trawicks thanks citizensDear editor:

The Trawicks would like to express our thanks and appreciation to several people for their assistance in making “Christmas In The Woodlands” possible during the 2008 season.

In October, shortly after we had begun working and getting items up, our neighbor, John Caylor, advised us that we would no longer have access onto a small strip of his property which was vital in connecting our two parcels of land. It was also the parcel used for the Twelve Days of Christmas display. Many individuals expressed disappointment and made inquiry as to why this display was not included this year.

Since we owned only a 10 foot strip connecting our two parcels of land, it was impossible to develop an adequate roadway. Our friend, Devane Motley, who owns property adjacent to our 10 foot strip, suggested and allowed us to move our fence onto his property in order to obtain the roadway we needed.

With a fence to be moved, six large trees to be cut, stumps removed and a new roadway prepared time was of the essence. After conferring with our mayor, Kenneth Boswell, to seek advice of possible resources of help, he directed me to Mr. Ray Dial.

Mr. Dial reviewed the task and the problems we were facing and indicated he would get the project completed within our time frame for our opening date. Mr. Dial coordinated the entire project using his workers, together with Mr. Jimmy Martin, Mr. Bennie Beckham, Brownie Jr. and others. Thank you, Mr. Dial, we could not have opened the festivities of “Christmas In The Woodlands” for the 2008 season had it not been for you and your expertise.

Mr. Herbert Gannon, we express appreciation to you for so graciously allowing us to use a portion of your property for many years in the expansion of Christmas In The Woodlands. Thanks to Police Chief Jones, Mayor Kenneth Boswell and attorney Joe Cassady Sr. for your advice and counsel.

We would not fail to thank the citizens of Enterprise, the Wiregrass area, Tri-States area and many others who traveled through Enterprise during the holiday season to enjoy our efforts. It is rewarding and gratifying to see the expressions of joy and excitement of both the young and elderly as they pass through the display — many stopping to chat with our family.

We trust that everyone who visited our festive event of mangers, lights and character displays were made aware of the real meaning of Christmas.

We look forward to seeing each of you again in November and December 2009.

Gov. Riley states facts on Flowers’ columnDear editor:

Your newspaper may have recently published a column written by Steve Flowers that is totally false in what it says about me. Not just a few mistakes, but every line in it about me is not true.

Out of the interest of fairness and truth, I hope you will print this letter in your newspaper if you published Mr. Flowers’ column.

First of all, Mr. Flowers wrote that a Senate committee investigation revealed my 2002 campaign received either $600,000 or $2.5 million from out-of-state gambling interests. That’s absolutely not true. The Senate committee’s report revealed no such thing at all, and my name is not even mentioned in the committee’s report.

Second, Mr. Flowers wrote that I attended the opening of an Indian casino in Atmore. That is also totally false.

Third, Mr. Flowers wrote that I have “done the bidding” of Indian gambling interests. Again, this is totally false. The only thing the “Indian gambling interests” have asked me to do is sign a compact with them so they could expand their gambling operations, and I have refused to do so and will not do so.

I have been a consistent opponent of gambling and continue to fight against efforts by the gambling operators to expand gambling in Alabama. That’s why I established the Task Force on Illegal Gambling, made up of law enforcement officers, who are working to make sure Alabama’s laws against gambling are uniformly enforced in every county. It’s been amazing that since I established this task force websites and columns like the one written by Mr. Flowers have suddenly cropped up. Either it’s a remarkable coincidence, or the people behind illegal gambling in Alabama are doing their best to spread false information in an attempt to discredit or stop our efforts.

I don’t know if Mr. Flowers is trying to help them, but your readers need to know that his column’s statements concerning me are not true.

Sincerely,Bob riley

governor of alabama

Alabama NRCS announces sign-up cutoff dates for key

Farm Bill Program

State Conservationist Gary Kobylski with the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) announced that Jan. 30 is the cutoff date for several resource concerns under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).

Applying for EQIP is continuous; however, selecting applications for funding is completed periodically through batching periods with specific cutoff dates.

EQIP is a voluntary program that provides financial and technical assistance to farmers and ranchers who face threats to soil, water, air, and related natural resources on their land.

The 2008 Farm Bill authorized Special Emphasis funding for two new areas: Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and Beginning Farmers and Ranchers.

Kobylski said “In Alabama, we have allocated special statewide funds to these areas along with Limited Resource Farmers and Small Scale Farmers. These two new special emphasis areas along with Limited Resource Farmers are eligible for increased payment rates. The sign-up for these special emphasis areas is continuous, but the batching date for current applications is Jan. 30.”

Kobylski also announced sign-up for the new Precision Farming Incentive. This is a continuous sign-up with a batching date of Feb. 13. Cropland producing annually planted crops in the following counties is eligible for 2009: Baldwin, Barbour, Cherokee, Coffee, Colbert, Covington, Dale, Escambia, Geneva, Henry, Houston, Jackson, Mobile, Monroe, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, and Madison.

Information and eligibility requirements on EQIP are available on the Alabama NRCS website under “Programs” (http://www.al.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/eqip09/index09.html) Interested individuals may also contact their local NRCS field office at New Brockton. The New Brockton office can be reached by dialing 894-5581 x3.

Alabama exports up 10 percent in 2008

Gov. Bob Riley recently announced that Alabama exports grew to almost $16 billion in 2008, an increase of 10 percent from the year before.

“Alabama companies have proven they know how to compete in the global market. That means more jobs for our citizens, higher wages and a stronger economy for our state,” said Riley. “The more aggressive and proactive we are in exporting, the more successful Alabama is going to be.”

Riley said the value of Alabama-produced exports reached $15.8 billion last year. Companies in the state shipped their products to 192 countries, with the top five destination markets being Germany, Canada, Mexico, China and Japan.

Finished automotives topped the list of Alabama exports for 2008, accounting for 31 percent of the state’s total exports. Vehicles produced in Alabama were shipped to 113 countries and totaled almost $5 billion in foreign sales.

Other top exports showed healthy gains with chemicals increasing 13.5 percent to $2.27 billion, minerals and ores rising 69 percent to $1.15 billion, and paper seeing a 12.7 percent increase to $1 billion. Exports of primary metal manufacturing increased 73 percent to $1 billion. Riley has championed increasing Alabama’s exports. Early in his first term, in 2004, he launched the Export Alabama trade strategy. At that time, Alabama exports totaled $8.3 billion.

Createa Strategy

for Maturing

CDs

Some things, like fine wines, get better with age. But a certificate of deposit (CD) is not one of them. If you have a maturing CD, you need to decide what to do with it – and the earlier you make this decision, the better off you’ll be. So if you’ve got one or more CDs coming due in the next few months, start planning now. Of course, if you had a specific goal for a maturing CD – such as a college tuition payment – your decision has already been made. But if you’ve purchased a CD for another reason, you’ll have to choose whether to renew it or invest the proceeds elsewhere.If you bought the CD for the income it provides, you may want to renew it. If prevailing interest rates are the same, or higher, than the rate on your maturing CD, you can purchase a new CD without worrying about reducing your income stream. But if rates have fallen, you may have a dilemma: How can you reproduce the income you received from your now-matured CD? Here are a few alternatives to consider: • Purchase a bond that pays a higher rate. Instead of buying another CD, you could possibly purchase another fixed-income instrument, such as a bond, that pays a higher interest rate. Be aware, though, that if you find a bond that pays a higher rate, you may be taking on more risk, so make sure any bond you purchase is considered “investment grade quality” by the independent rating agencies. • Buy a longer-term CD. Generally speaking, you can get a higher interest rate when you purchase a longer-term CD. Your money will be locked up for a longer period of time, but it will help provide you with a more stable income stream over time. • Create a fixed-income “ladder.” To combat interest-rate concerns, you might want to build a fixed-income “ladder” by buying several CDs or bonds with varying maturities – short-term, intermediate-term and long-term. When market rates are low, you’ll still have your longer-term vehicles earning higher interest rates. And when market interest rates are high, you can reinvest the maturing short-term bonds and CDs at the higher rates. Thus far, we’ve talked about replacing a maturing CD to protect your income stream. But if you bought a CD for another purpose – such as removing some of your money from a volatile stock market – then the CD’s maturity gives you a chance to re-evaluate your investment strategy. As you know, 2008 was a tough year for the stock market, so, at the time, diverting some of your money to a CD might have seemed smart. But history tells us that even the worst bear markets don’t last forever, and that the biggest gains in a rally often occur at the early stages. Consequently, you may want to take this opportunity to “rebalance” your portfolio, and, if appropriate for your individual situation, look for ways to invest the proceeds of your CD into quality equities or other securities. By planning ahead, you won’t feel rushed to make a hasty decision when your CD matures or, even worse, be tempted to spend the money and have little to show for it. Your maturing CD can help you achieve your financial goals – if you give it a chance. Joan Newman is an invest-ment representative with Edward Jones in Enterprise.

Special to the SunElementar y school

students across the state will soon have access to a fun and informative book about agriculture thanks to sales of the Farming Feeds Alabama vehicle license plate and an Alabama Farmers Federation project that honors state legislators.

In an effort to emphasize the importance of agriculture to Alabama’s school children, the Federation will provide a copy of “Oh Say Can You Seed? - All About Flowering Plants” to more than 900 public elementary school libraries. The books, bought with proceeds from the Farming Feeds Alabama car tag, will include labels that recognize local legislators for their support of farming and education.

“This is a great opportunity to help children increase their knowledge of plants and appreciation for agriculture,” said Federation President Jerry A. Newby. “We want children to understand the importance of agriculture, and hopefully this book will inspire some of these young people to pursue careers in life sciences and other agriculture-related fields.”

The project will give almost 300,000 public school students access to the book, which is part of The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library. Written by Bonnie Worth and illustrated by Aristides Ruiz, the book explores the parts of plants, seeds and flowers while teaching children about photosynthesis, pollination

and seed dispersal. Using colorful pictures

and a catchy, rhyme scheme, the book is able to communicate complex scientific ideas in simple, easy-to-read language. This allows students to absorb knowledge about the natural world while having fun. To further enhance the impact of the book, the Federation also will provide each library an activity packet that outlines hands-on activities to help teachers, media specialists and students learn more about agriculture.

L e g i s l at o r s w e re informed about the project during the Federation’s annual Taste of Alabama Legislative Reception Feb. 11 in Montgomery. The reception gives lawmakers a chance to sample Alabama agricultural products while visiting with farmers from their areas. Following the event, books were distributed to Alabama’s 67 county Farmers Federations, which will deliver them to schools.

Sales of the Farming Feeds Alabama license plate support agricultural education and promotional activities throughout the state. For more information about the tag, visit your local probate judge’s office or visit www.ador.state.al.us/motorvehicle/specialty.html.

Alabama Farmers Federation, a member of American Farm Bureau Federation, is the state’s largest farm organization with more than 440,000 members. For more information, visit www.AlfaFarmers.org.

Continued from Page 1Aprosecutor Hallie Dixon said a handgun and an SKS assault rifle were found at the Contre-ras residence during the inves-tigation, along with a journal that contained threats against several high-ranking local officials.

Dixon said the journal indi-cated Contreras had “a feeling of persecution” and contained threats against case workers at the Department of Human Resources and against himself.

Among the statements made by Contreras in the jour-nal, Dixon said, was “If I can’t raise my child, no one can.”

Dixon argued that Contre-ras is a flight risk becuase he is from California and has limite connections to Alabama other than his wife.

Sherling said he would con-sider bond for Contreras if the evaluation deems his release to be appropriate, but conditions of Contreras’ release include a $500,000 bond and house arrest at his residence on Antler Drive.

The conditions require that Contreras must not have contact with the victim or victim’s family. He must not possess a firearm or computer, and must not have contact with any child under the

age of 18, according to Sherling’s orders.

Dixon said DHR officials have safety plans in place for Contreras’ wife and child.

A press release issued by the Attorney General’s Office last week said no details of the inves-tigation can be made public at this time.

If convicted, Contreras faces a maximum penalty of 20 years to life imprisonment for the Class A felony. As a con-victed sex offender, he would also be subject to the notifica-tion and registration require-ments of Alabama law.

Continued from Page 1ACCDHR adoption in more than four years.

In a reception at CCDHR, Leo, Lukas and Leilani cele-brated their adoption with their parents Ernie and Phyllis Per-due, their brothers Whitney and Keenan Rachel and the staff of CCDHR.

“This is great. I love it and am so excited,” Leo said.

Leo and Lukas first met the Perdues in 2006 after being uprooted from their grandpar-ents’ home.

“When I was eight, my mom and dad were no longer able to provide for me or my little brother due to drug addic-tions. They brought us to live with our grandparents in Ala-bama. I thought, ‘This can’t be too bad,’” Leo explained. “But my grandparents then thought they couldn’t give us the attention growing boys needed so they placed us in foster care. That will try your faith, but then again what is faith? Why didn’t God just take us out of this mess?”

The brothers spent time with two foster families who taught the children about God.

“Our first family took us to an Assembly of God church and that is where I first learned about faith in God. Suddenly, there was a disturbance and we had to move to another foster family. They, too, were Assem-bly of God,” he recalled with maturity beyond his years. “I’ll never understand why every-thing happened as it did. All I know is that I hung in there and God brought us toward a life of Christianity. Now, it has been five years.”

In 2006, Leo and Lukas walked into the Perdue home for the first time, unsure of what to expect.

It didn’t take long for the young men to realize when they walked into the Perdue house they had actually walked into

their new home.For two years, Leo prayed

and hoped he and Lukas would become permanent members of the Perdue family. He even asked, on his Christmas wish list, to be adopted by the Per-dues.

In February 2007, Leilani also became the 55th foster child in the Perdue home and everything fell into place. The family knew they did not want to give the children up.

“Leilani has been with us since the day she came from the hospital. She has literally been with us her entire life,” Ernie Perdue said. “The adoption was decided after we got Leilani. We are the only parents she has ever known. It was a pretty easy decision. We didn’t debate. We knew.”

Adopting the siblings was a difficult process, however.

For two years, with the “diligent” help of the CCDHR, the Perdues fought to adopt the children, finding hurdles along their way, he said.

The biological parents were not initially willing to terminate their parental rights, Ernie Per-due explained.

Leilani’s father (who is not the father of Leo and Lukas) was not willing to entertain the idea of an adoption, but the Perdues were not willing to give up with-out a fight.

“We met with all three of the biological parents leading up to the adoption,” said Ernie Perdue. “All three biological par-ents terminated parental rights on the condition that we adopt them. It was a long process to get the biological parents to agree.”

Leo said the day he and his siblings officially became Perdues was an “extraordinary miracle.”

“The extraordinary work of God didn’t just stop there. I was blessed with a Christian home. We learned to pray for my

birth family. I can tell you what makes it even sweeter. My birth mother got an extraordinary gift. That gift was salvation from an extraordinary God,” Leo said.

The entire Perdue family plans to continue to host fos-ter children despite being a full, complete house.

Keenan, 13, said he believes Leo, Lukas and Leilani will join with the family in their goal to offer comfort to hurting chil-dren.

“They (foster children) usually show up with all that they own in a black, plastic bag with more scars and tears than I can even talk about. My family works hard to make each child a part of our family,” Keenan explained, adding he has been a foster brother to 48 children thus far.

“Our goal is to let Cof-fee County’s 30 children (cur-rently in foster care) experience unconditional love even if it is only for one day. We will never be able to take away the pain, the scars or the past, but at least we can help them see there is a brighter tomorrow ahead of them. It is hard to imagine the pain they have endured. Many times, I just never know what they are going through, but you can see the hurt in their eyes.”

With doors open for the foster children of Coffee County (Phyllis Perdue is the president of the Coffee County Foster Par-ents Association), the Perdues agree from here on out it will be life as usual in their household — with the exception of adding on to the family’s New Brockton home.

“Whatever the mountain, I learned never to give up. You have got to dig in and stand firm. You see, God can turn everyday life into extraordinary opportu-nities for us to be a witness. We must be willing to let an extraor-dinary God make extraordinary miracles through us,” Leo said.

Chamber

Continued from Page 1AThe mayor read a written

response that reviewed each of Young’s proposals and included accusatory comments as well.

Herron said that the police department would remain in the center of the town in the central business district.

“The location provides convenient access for the gener-al public and immediate police coverage for the existing local businesses,” said Herron.

Herron listed several rea-sons why the police department should remain in the center of town including a series of disci-plinary issues that have occurred at New Brockton High School that required the attention of the police department and the cost it would take to move commu-nications equipment.

Herron then added to his statement that he observed Young driving an unlicensed all-terrain vehicle on the local streets.

“This is quite concerning when you are expected to help uphold the law,” said Herron.

When Young had the opportunity to comment, gig-gles swept through the room as Young and Herron proceeded to exchange words about the com-ment, with one spectator refer-ring to the exchange as “child-ish.”

“You talk about how much work you’ve got to do. Well I’m so glad you have time to get out and see what I’m doing,” said Young.

Herron closed his state-ment by reminding Young that he attended a training session for newly elected officials spon-sored by the Alabama League of Municipalities that outlined the duties and responsibilities of the mayor and town council.

“I hope that it would be safe to presume that you reasonably understood the topics for newly elected officials,” said Herron in his statement.

Herron said that he observed Young and Pittman sitting in the back of the room and leaving early.

An exchange began again with Young retorting that coun-cil member Billy Brantley sat with them in the back as well, and they did not leave as early as Herron had said.

Pittman said that the train-ing session was not mandatory and the council members had paid for their own expenses to attend the training session.

Herron agreed that the training was optional, but is highly recommended that the council members attend.

“That has nothing to do with what is going on here,” said Pittman. “This is not an attack on the police department. We are trying to save the city some money. That’s all we’re trying to do.”

Finishing his statement, Herron said, “No one is above

the law. These veiled attempts to handcuff the police depart-ment in Councilman Pittman’s and your capacity as town coun-cil members is clearly unaccept-able.”

Council members Brant-ley, Lee Etta Edwards and Jack White all agreed with Herron’s response to Young’s proposal.

“We are looking forward to growing the town, keep-ing it safe and attracting new and expanding business. New Brockton is changing for the bet-ter and needs fresh ideas to help make us competitive in meet-ing our long-range community development goals,” said Her-ron. “The police department stays where it is.”

As the meeting turned its focus towards financial matters, Pittman requested that the bills paid in February be read aloud.

Pittman requested that Herron explain the purpose of some bills, including payments to Herron for travel expenses to Mobile and Montgomery, the University of Alabama for town clerk Catina Tyson’s certi-fication, Gulf Finance insurance, Alabama Criminal Justice Infor-mation Center for data base

information.Pittman requested that

Herron address the bills that have not been paid for Febru-ary.

“There will be some unpaid bills,” said Herron.

Upon requesting a copy of the unpaid bills Herron said, “I am required to give you a finan-cial report at least twice per year, every six months. You are more than welcome to receive those but you will be given a cost per copy and we’ll give you an hour-ly rate for staff research time and you will pay for those things in advance.”

Pittman said that in the past, council members had always received a copy of unpaid bills and then read an article form the “New Brockton Order-ly” concerning the freedom of information.

“There are tons and tons of things that I have to spend my time on,” said Herron. “There are far greater priorities. The only thing we can do is pay (the bills) with what we have. We have borrowed no money and have cut the debt in half.”

Brantley said that since the council had been sworn in, all

he has heard is questions about the bills.

“Why do we have to have these arguments every coun-cil meeting that we have? It is downright childish. It’s some-thing that irritates me,” said Brantley. “I think it’s time we start working together to start benefiting the town,” said Brant-ley.

“Compared to where we were when we came into office,

I think we have done a fantastic job, even though there has been a lot of disagreements,” Edwards added. “I think we have done a wonderful job with the town of New Brockton in the short time that we have been here, and I thank God for that.”

In other council news, the council also accepted a $3,500 grant from the Alabama Depart-ment of Transportation for materials to repair several pot-

holes within the town’s limits.Herron also commented on

possible funds stemming from the economic stimulus package, saying that we would like to use the funds to pay for the renova-tion of the four bays currently not in use in the previous town hall to build a Family Medical Center and pharmacy.

The next town council meeting is scheduled for April 6 at 7 p.m. in the town hall.

Continued from Page 1A“This was my first year

doing the accreditation and it really is extremely exten-sive,” Thomas explained. “The accreditation is a testimony to our board, members and vol-unteers.”

“This shows that we are one of the top chambers in America,” said Thomas. “This also shows that we are compli-ant in every aspect of chamber life. We even received a perfect score for our facilities.”

Only 17 chambers were awarded accreditation this year, six of which are located in Alabama, according to the U.S.

Chamber of Commerce.The Enterprise Chamber of

Commerce is the only organiza-tion of its kind accredited in the southeast portion of the state.

“The U.S. Chamber cited in a report we received that even with the current state of the economy, we had a 13-percent increase in our membership,” Thomas said, adding the cham-ber also has a 97-percent reten-tion rate of members during the last three years.

As new businesses develop in Enterprise, Thomas said he wants them to know they will be well served by becoming mem-bers of the chamber of com-

merce.“Our accreditation tells

them they are or will be well served and taken care of,” he said.

Chamber of commerce organizations are accredited every five years, said Thomas.

“Accreditation recognizes chambers for their high stan-dards of practice, full account-ability to members and steadfast commitment to community,” said Thomas J. Donahue, presi-dent and chief executive officer of the U.S. Chamber of Com-merce. “We applaud these orga-nizations for advancing these principles of free enterprise.”

Continued from Page 1AThe council originally deter-

mined, under recommendation from structural engineers, that the building was not repairable and made a $2.1 million insur-ance claim that includes struc-tural damage and costs for items inside the center.

The city was hoping to take insurance money received for the civic center and apply it to a $3 million Federal Emergency Management grant that would fund the city’s construction of a storm shelter. The grant would require a 25-percent match from the city.

The shelter, Boswell explained, would be a pilot grant program that would allow the city to construct a building designed as an above-the-ground struc-ture capable of withstanding 200

mph winds.As part of the shelter,

Boswell said the city hopes to cre-ate the shelter with office space that would house the Coffee County Red Cross and other sup-port personnel trained in assist-ing in disaster if the grant request is approved.

The former Enterprise Civic Center was damaged in an Oct. 8, 2008 tornado.

The building housed the Enterprise Senior Citizens Cen-ter and Coffee County Red Cross for several years. It was also the longtime meeting place of the Enterprise Lions Club and Rotary Club.

No one was injured during the tornado.

Damage to the building have left the Enterprise Senior Center and Coffee County Red

Cross displaced at this time.In other news, council

members approved renewing a $65,000 annual contract with the Enterprise Chamber of Com-merce.

Three Notch Road will receive new stripes following a unanimous vote by councilmen to enter into an agreement with Coffee County to have county employees restripe the road. The project will be at no cost to the city.

The council recognized the Enterprise Expressions for receiv-ing top honors at the Feb. 14 Opelika Southern Showcase. The middle school group received three awards for best vocals, best choreography and best overall effect. Enterprise Expressions consists of students from Enter-prise and Dauphin Junior Highs.

Continued from Page 1AThe remaining third is

produced in small labs found in basements, kitchens, bed-rooms, barns, vacant buildings, campgrounds, hotels and in the trunks of cars.

It is made using household products like over-the-counter cold medicines that contain pseudoephedrine as well as red phosphorus, hydrochloric acid, anhydrous ammonia, drain cleaner, battery acid, lye, lantern fuel and anti-freeze.

“These are the chemicals that meth users put into their body when they use meth,” said Skinner.

The fumes associated with cooking these materials are toxic and highly flammable.

“It’s not a matter of if a lab will blow up, it’s a matter of when the lab blows up,” said Skinner.

Skinner said that many times meth manufacturers often have children living in these environments and inhale the fumes of the toxic chemicals as he displayed several photos of children that had been in con-tact with the chemicals, many of which had permanent chemical burns all over their bodies.

Addiction begins with the short-terms effects that include a “rush” that only lasts for a few minutes followed by a state of high agitation that can lead to violent behavior in some cases.

Skinner said that addiction occurs when users attempt to reproduce that first high without success and then acquire a toler-ance to the chemicals so more

and more is needed to achieve the same “high.”

Photographs of the long-term physical effects showed graphic images of addicts who had scratched themselves creat-ing open sores due to delusions of insects underneath the skin.

The behavior is coupled with extreme paranoia, psycho-sis, hallucinations and can cause stroke, heart attack or death.

Treatment for a meth addict can be difficult, but not impossible.

Sutton said that only six out of every 100 people who seek help with their meth addiction come out without relapsing and become functioning law-abiding members of society.

According to a video shown during the presentation, the most effective form of meth addiction treatment is extended stay treatment centers as well as having support from loved ones.

The presentation also pro-

vided several tips for parents on how to play an active role in their children’s lives in order to protect them from harmful situ-ations and choices as they enter young adulthood.

As young adults, teenagers may feel the urge to experiment with drugs and alcohol, and the best way to combat their struggle with peer pressure is to talk often about drugs and their effects.

Several video clips of pub-lic service announcements from Montana, targeting youth, were included in the presentation that displayed how meth can affect a person’s life with “just one” use.

Sutton said that the sheriff’s department does not have any public service announcements due to the cost of production, but hopes through the Meth360 presentation that he can educate the citizens of Coffee County on this highly addictive, dangerous drug that has infested the coun-try.

A Familiar Face at a New Place

Fort Rucker employees accused of conspiracyto obtain golf tickets


Coffee County Board of Education members at the March 5 meeting addressed concerns and feelings of “neglect” expressed by parents from New Brockton and Kin-ston.

School board member Galen McWaters said that he has received several phone calls from citizens of New Brockton and Kinston who feel as if their schools are being excluded from the new construction projects, which are primarily being done at Zion Chapel.

“I continue to get calls and comments from parents both at New Brockton and Kinston concerning the new softball

facility at Zion Chapel,” said McWaters. “They’re feeling that the other two schools are somewhat being neglected because their facilities aren’t on par with what we’ve pro-vided to Zion Chapel.”

Zion Chapel is currently undergoing several renova-tions including new bleachers and press box, baseball fields and the possible addition of classrooms.

Coffee County Superin-tendent Linda Ingram said that the renovations are being done because the land had become available to do so, and the other schools are land-locked in terms of growth.

The board members have approached the owner of land adjacent to New Brockton High

School, but the owner was not interested in selling at that time.

“If that land came avail-able, then I would certainly rec-ommend to this board that we purchase land,” said Ingram. “If either of those communities would like to approach and let us know that they would like to sell us some land, we would be interested in purchasing it.”

Ingram also stated that before the land became avail-able at Zion Chapel, the base-ball and softball teams would have to travel to Elba in order to practice and play ball.

Zion Chapel has also had a significant increase in student population that has required some classes to be taught in portable trailers.

The board members agreed the situation did look bad, but not much else could be done until the land became available to add new facilities to the school property.

During 2008, Kinston High School received a com-plete renovation that included new floors, air conditioners and windows, as well as a new weight room and press box.

Air conditioning units were installed into all three high school gymnasiums.

A new roof was construct-ed on the Kinston lunchroom building and New Brockton gymnasium and painted.

New carpeting was installed at Kinston and New Brockton Elementary Schools.

Each county school also

received new furniture in some classrooms, including student and teacher desks, chairs and computer tables.

In other school board news, Ingram said that the school board is “weathering the storm” when it comes to the 9-percent proration rate declared by Gov. Bob Riley in December.

After adjustments to accommodate the $1.2 mil-lion reduction of the budget, the school system is still down $600,000 that Ingram said would have to come out of the general fund.

However the school board is still expecting to receive funds from the federal eco-nomic stimulus package that was approved last month.

“I don’t believe that the information has been firmed up on how much money we are going to get,” said Ingram. “Nor does anyone know the rules and regulations of how we’re going to spend it.”

Ingram will attend a meet-ing on March 23 to discuss the rules for spending the stimulus money, which is expected to become available in the spring and summer of this year.

The board members also approved the recommendation to adopt all the books on the Alabama textbook list, which will make them available for purchase over the next six years.The board and teachers will look at the textbooks and decide which books to pur-chase.

Coffee County School Board addresses parent concerns


School officials in Coffee County are beginning to look into options for a countywide bathroom renovation project.

County Schools Super-intendent Linda Ingram said that funds for school renova-tion projects could become available if President Barrack Obama’s stimulus package is approved.

“It looks as if we would get between $300,000 to $400,000,” said Ingram at the Feb. 15 Cof-fee County School Board meet-ing.

Once the bill is signed, the school system will have nine months before a contract must be signed in order to use the money.

Due to the time con-straints, officials are encour-aged to have “shovel ready” projects, or projects that have already been planned and are ready for construction.

“I think it’s the appropri-ate time for us to start looking at and getting together what we need to do to renovate the restrooms,” said Ingram.

Ingram said that a percent-age of the bathroom project would have to be completed with “green” or environmen-tally friendly features.

School officials will look into replacing urinals, sinks, hand dryers and lighting fix-

tures, all with “green” energy-efficient features.

Ingram said that she recently spent a few days in Montgomery to attend eco-nomic meetings.

“The Montgomery eco-nomic meetings mirror what is happening in Coffee County,” said Ingram. “Times are not good, and they are not getting better, and they are saying we have not hit the bottom yet.”

Ingram said the Legisla-ture is going to be faced with some difficult cuts in the near future.

“It is my hope, and I know it is your hope, that they make cuts that will protect the classrooms, and protect the instructional programs for the students, because we need to maintain that quality pro-gram,” said Ingram addressing the board.

Gov. Bob Riley’s bud-get increases the divisors by 1 percent, which will increase class sizes, which would cause the loss of 3,000 teacher units statewide.

For Coffee County, that increase translates to an increase of 1.6 students per classroom, increasing class-room sizes in lower grades from 13.8 to 15.4.

Ingram added that the Legislature rarely passes exact-ly what the governor proposes, but the class size increase is still bad news for state school

systems.Ingram said that state leg-

islatures are hoping that the federal stimulus package will offset cuts in the state budget.

“I don’t want to count all my federal dollars until some-thing actually comes out of Washington, because I think that’s subject to change too, just like I think the governor’s budget is subject to change,” said Ingram.

In school board news, school board members approved a revised 2009-2010 school calendar.

Changes include a teacher workday the day before stu-dents return from the holiday break.

Ingram said that the retir-ees and resignations will help during the next school year, should the school system lose teacher units.

“Those will help if we do have a change in the number of teacher units we earn,” said Ingram.

If the school system receives a reduction in teacher units, the slots that have been emptied could help prevent cuts of active personnel.

Coffee County schools take steps to improve ‘greener’ way of living

Harrand Creek Elementary donates to New BrocktonA crew of workers was busy at work Feb. 11 removing playground equipment from Harrand Creek Elementary School and making way for new playground equipment expected to arrive this month. The school faculty and students have been holding fund-raisers since the beginning of the year to purchase the new equipment, but they also wanted to see the old equipment be useful for someone else as it had for them. Enterprise Altrusan Kelli Owens suggested the donation so that New Brockton children could have a better, safer playground area. New Brockton Mayor Lenwood Herron said he is pleased to receive the donation, and thanked Harrand Creek leaders and Altrusa Club members from New Brockton and Enterprise for helping to facilitate the move. The equip-ment, which is now being stored in New Brockton, will be set up at the town park in the near future. Sabrina Reeves, president of the New Brockton Altrusans, said club members and their families plan a clean-up, set-up day at the park soon. (Photo by Laura Fezie)

From Staff Reports

A former Fort Rucker Employee of the Year and anoth-er civilian employee of the post will make their first appearance in federal court May 12 on charges of conspiracy and false imperson-ation.

Patricia L. Lemons and John-ny L. Jones will go before the court to plead guilty or not guilty to the misdemeanor charges filed last week. According to records from the U.S. Middle District Court, Lemons and Jones are accused of agreeing to impersonate the garrison commander in order to obtain tickets to an LPGA tourna-ment in Prattville in September 2007. Col. Scott Larese was the garrison commander at that time.

U.S. Attorney Todd Brown said the arraignment will likely be at the federal courthouse in Dothan. Brown said the investiga-tion into the unauthorized request and use of tickets to the golf tour-nament was directed by the com-mand at Fort Rucker. Because of jurisdictional issues, the case is being prosecuted by the federal court with a Fort Rucker Judge Advocate General’s Office attor-ney Capt. Nicole Borchardt han-dling the case.

“The legal office and the

command thought it was impor-tant to prosecute the case,” Brown said.

If convicted, Lemons and Jones could face up to six months in prison and up to $1,000 in fines on each charge.

Lemons, who has worked at Fort Rucker for more than 20 years, won the Commander’s Award for Civilian Service, as the Civilian Employee of the Year in 2005. She worked in the Director-ate of Logistics at that time.

Jones is also reportedly a longtime employee of Fort Ruck-er.

At press time, Fort Rucker Public Affairs had not responded to questions about whether Lem-ons and Jones are still employed at Fort Rucker.

The Level Plains coun-cil March 3 implemented a payment procedures guide-line for all town employees and last week adopted it as a resolution.

As a resolution, the guideline will supercede any prior payment regulations implemented by the town.

The guideline, devel-oped by council members Greg Swim, Bruce Grantham and Edward Berry, along with Town Clerk Pat Wambles, Water Superintendent Buddy Wilson and Police Chief Lanice Bonds, is a procedure “for pay and allowances, overtime, holidays and leave programs,” said Swim.

The guideline offers only minimal changes in the cur-rent pay procedures for the town.

Due to the small size of the town, Swim said it is not

uncommon for employees to have “on call service.”

“Designated employees serving this function (on call service) shall be paid $20 per week in addition to any other pay earned,” the pay-ment procedure states. “In the event an employee in this status is actually called out to resolve an issue during non-duty hours, he/she shall be paid for a minimum of two hours even if the actual time required to resolve the issue is less than two hours.”

The procedure also out-lines the accumulation of annual vacation leave for employees.

First-year employees will receive 3.333 hours of annual leave a month, but must accumulate 40 hours of annual leave before he or she will be permitted to use it.

The accumulation of monthly annual leave hours increases each year of employment, with maxi-

mum accumulation credits being given to employees who have been with the town 10 or more years. Long-term employees will accrue 10 hours of annual leave a month.

“There are no limits on the accumulation of annual leave,” the guideline states.

Employees will also have the option to receive payment of up to 40 hours of unused sick leave on the anniversary of their employ-ment with the town.

The guideline did not change the rate of accrue-ment of sick leave for employ-ees — it remains at 6.666 hours per month.

The maximum amount of sick leave employees are permitted to accumulate was raised, however, to 160 hours.

The payment procedure guideline was implemented immediately following the Feb. 3 council meeting.

FORT RUCKER — A Fort Rucker soldier charged with causing the death of his 5-month-old son will be court-martialed.

U.S. Army Aviation Cen-ter of Excellence Command-ing General Maj. Gen. James O. Barclay III referred the case of Spc. Dedrick Fisher Sr. to a general court-martial, Fort Rucker Public Affairs officials

announced Tuesday morning.Fisher was charged with

manslaughter after his infant son died at Dale Medical Cen-ter in Ozark Feb. 2 as a result of injuries he sustained three months earlier.

The case had been under review since Feb. 11 by Maj. Cayla Slusher, appointed as the investigating officer in an evi-dentiary hearing. She was to consider testimony and writ-ten reports to make a recom-mendation to 1st Aviation Bri-

gade commander, Col. Richard Beckinger. Beckinger was then to submit the recommendation to Barclay for his decision on whether to pursue a general court-martial for Fisher.

During the Feb. 11 hearing in a courtroom on post Slusher was told by Dr. Melissa Peters of the Children’s Hospital in Bir-mingham that Dedrick Fisher Jr., suffered injuries in Novem-ber that caused severe traumat-ic brain injury and led him to live for the last two months of

his life connected to breathing and feeding tubes.

Slusher also heard testi-mony from Chief Warrant Offi-cer 3 Raymond Massey, special agent in charge of Fort Rucker’s Criminal Investigation Divi-sion, saying Fisher admitted that after the baby’s initial inju-ry in early November 2008 that “he shook his son one time,” and that he knew he had hurt his son.

Massey said Fisher later denied shaking the baby and

claimed the infant’s injuries may have happened during the drive from his home to the military police station, where he and his wife sought help for the baby. Massey testified that Fisher said the car had hit a pothole and jarred the baby and that the injuries may also have happened as military police tried to revive the baby.

Massey and two other witnesses testified that Fisher said the reason he and his wife sought help was that the baby

was choking on milk.After the November inci-

dent, Fisher was charged with assault on a child under age 16 after a federal investigation launched by the Fort Rucker Criminal Investigation Division and the Military Police. The charges were upgraded after the baby’s death.

Fisher had been under the direct supervision of his chain of command, but not impris-oned, since charges were filed against him in February.

Special to the Sun

The “World’s Smallest St. Patrick’s Day Parade” at noon on March 17 will once again bring the Irish spirit to Enter-prise.

Each St. Patrick’s Day, a notable Enterprise citizen of Irish ancestry is selected to don a special costume and carry the colors of the Emerald Isle from the county courthouse to the Boll Weevil Monument and

back.The parade was estab-

lished by former Enterprise Chamber of Commerce Presi-dent Kathleen Sauer in 1993.

Of Irish decent herself, Sauer was looking for a way to

celebrate the holiday that goes largely unobserved in South-east Alabama.

Since the parade’s begin-ning, a number of people have participated in the event, including the late Pat Donohue

who was the keeper of the spirit for eight years.

Donahue created the spe-cial costume consisting of green pants, a vest and easily recog-nizable oversized top hat.

In past years, the parade

has been covered by media out-lets as far away as Ireland and has been featured on national network television.

For more information, con-tact the Enterprise Chamber of Commerce, Inc at 347-0581.

The memory is still vivid, the feelings undi-

minished.I don’t know why I

think of that evening so often, when my Daddy was burning a mound of small trees and underbrush that he was clearing to expand the back pasture on our Henry County farm.

Darkness had already set in, but Daddy was always reluctant to stop a project once he’d started one. By the light of the huge fire, he continued to pull down small trees, using a chain and a winch and the 4030 John Deere tractor he so expertly ma-neuvered.

His ever-present de-sire to use a chainsaw also was satisfied as he cut up the tree trunks and limbs and threw them onto the burning mound. With each one he tossed into the flames, a new flurry of glowing embers would explode into the sky.

The night was chilly and as I sat on a log near the big fire, I enjoyed the warmth radiating toward me. I can still remember how it felt, and I can still remember what I was thinking as I watched the embers from the fire, floating upward, fast, and then slowing down as they followed the smoke trail into the dark sky. The glow became dimmer and dim-mer and then disappeared.

Sentimental even at 15 or 16 years old, I thought about how those embers were like life. I thought about how each one was like the people in our lives and the various elements of our lives that are all connected to makes our lives what they are. With time, they separate and slip away.

When I was sitting there on that log that night, I became keenly aware that life wasn’t going to always be like I knew it then, and I tried to imagine how it would be in 20 or 30 years.

Today, as my twin brother and I “observe” a milestone birthday, I have the answers to many of the questions I had back then.

I’m glad I realized that moments with the people I loved were not just simple and routine, but treasures to cherish when the embers had long faded away.

I will always miss those moments, but I’m glad I stored them in my heart to revisit and carry into the future.

We all have to accept that life changes. At 50, I have my share of regrets and what ifs, but I know I’ve had my share of blessings, and I’m looking forward to more in the next 50 years.

“You will find Encouragement,Discipleship, Friendship, Purpose and Hope.”

Evangelist W.H. Bush, Ministerand Deborah Bush

“Rendezvous in Dal-las” details the events sur-rounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963. In less than 10 seconds, a sniper’s bullets altered history and shattered the idealism and innocence of an entire generation.

Dr. Jeffrey K. Smith’s new book brings to life the incred-ible story that made John F. Kennedy a martyr, resurrected the political career of Lyndon Johnson, and transformed Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby into household names. Like Pearl Harbor before it, and 9/11 that followed it, the assassination of John F. Ken-nedy defined an era.

“Rendezvous In Dal-las” is based on more than 20 years of research by the author, who has visited the crime scenes and traced the final steps of President Ken-nedy and his accused assas-sin. Smith has analyzed thou-sands of pages of documents related to the Kennedy assas-sination and the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald. He has a detailed knowledge of all major investigative reports concerning the assassina-tion and has investigated the major conspiracy theories surrounding the Crime of the Century.

The author utilizes his professional insight to create vivid psychological profiles of Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby, and to explain the his-torical and emotional signifi-cance of the tragic events in November of 1963.

“Rendezvous In Dallas” is

a concise, yet riveting history of the events and personali-ties surrounding the assassi-nation of President Kennedy.

Smith is a physician and writer. A native of Enterprise, he received his undergradu-ate and medical degrees from the University of Alabama, and completed his residency at the William S. Hall Psy-

chiatric Institute in Colum-bia, S.C. Smith has practiced psychiatry in upstate South Carolina since 1990.

Smith is the author of three murder mystery nov-els. “Rendezvous in Dallas” is his first non-fiction work. To learn more about his books, visit www.newfrontierpubli-cations.com

Enterprise native Dr. Jeffrey Smith releases new book ‘Rendezvous in Dallas’

When recent news reports announced the death of Paul Harvey, memories of his familiar voice on the radio replayed in my mind. When he would tell “The Rest of the Story,” he always held my attention because I knew there would be a surprise end-ing.

There’s a riddle attributed to a Paul Harvey broadcast that asks, “What is greater than God...More evil than the devil...The poor have it...The rich don’t need it, and if you eat it, you will die?” Stay tuned for the answer at the end of this column.

The ABC Radio Network said Paul Harvey was the most listened-to personality in Amer-ica. Their network carried Har-vey’s “News and Comments” for over 50 years, reaching an esti-mated 24 million people daily on 1,200 radio stations nationally and 400 Armed Forces Radio sta-tions around the world.

He was born Paul Harvey

Aurendt in Tulsa, Okla., in 1918. His father, a police officer, was shot and killed by robbers when Paul was three. He and his sister were raised by their mother. A high school teacher reportedly “nudged him into a radio booth at a local station.”

While working at a station in St. Louis, Paul Harvey met Lynne Cooper, proposing to her on their

first date. The rest of their lives he called her “Angel.” They were married for nearly 68 years, until her death in May 2008. He often closed his broadcast with best wishes to couples married that many years and more. According to news reports, he died at age 90 surrounded by his family, includ-ing his only child, Paul Harvey Jr.

Paul Harvey will be remem-bered, not just for his unique voice, but for his words. He’s credited with coining words such as “guesstimate” and “tren-dency.” He once said, “In times like these, it helps to recall that there have always been times like these.”

In January 2003, Paul Har-vey was interviewed by Larry King on CNN. King asked Har-vey if he had ever questioned his faith. Harvey replied, “Ques-tioned it? Oh, I think we all did when we were young. As a mat-ter of fact, I was very tardy in my own life coming to a firm

conviction. I like the promise of John 3:16, which says, ‘believe and be saved.’” Then he went on to describe a little church where he accepted Christ as Savior and was baptized.

By the way, the answer to the riddle is “nothing.” Nothing is greater than God. Nothing is more evil than the devil. The poor have nothing. The rich need nothing. And, if you eat nothing, you will die.

When Paul Harvey died, it was “the end of the story” for his human life. But, he now knows “the rest of the story” believers in Christ find in death. The Bible promises that nothing, not even death, “shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:39).

string together because of lapses of intensity in our players. They have the skill. They have the aptitude. They know what right looks like. It’s just that they have metal lapses of intensity.”

The Wildcats suffered another lapse after John Broam’s goal. Enterprise went almost 20 minutes without scoring, although Blaine did make another save on a breakaway.

Ryan Wilson tapped in a goal at the 37-minute mark of the first half. Maxham added his third goal with a score at the 39-minute mark, sending the Wildcats to halftime with a 6-0 lead.

D.J. Kober scored within the first five minutes of the second half, stretching the Enterprise lead to 7-0.

Central scored two goals during a five-minute stretch that trimmed the lead to 7-2, but the Red Devils never seriously threatened.

Of course, Enterprise had a few players playing out of position. McDermott swapped some of the positions so a few players were defensemen instead of their primary position.

By Andy LeonardSun Sports Editor

For a few stretches, the Enterprise boys soccer team performed exactly how coach Tom McDermott knew it could. For the first 20 minutes, the Wildcats seemed unstoppable.

Enterprise continued its winning ways and defeated Central Phenix City 9-2 last Friday at Bates Memorial Stadium.

Calling the first 20 minutes a good stretch is an understatement. Ben Maxham scored off a header from an Evan Beutler corner kick less than four minutes into the game. It took less than four more minutes for Maxham to score again, with just more than seven minutes gone from the clock.

“Our goal was to put together what we’ve been training on all week,” McDermott said. “We’ve been training really hard at moving the ball up the outside to serve it back in the middle.”

Enterprise even saw flashes of defensive brilliance in the first 20 minutes. Goalie John Blaine stuffed a Phenix City breakaway at the 14-minute mark.

McDermott gave credit to Blaine for his defensive play,

but stated the defensive players should have been in better position.

“It was a technical error on the defenders,” McDermott said. “We’ve worked on it. I took them off the field and we talked

about it. They didn’t make that mistake again.”

Blaine’s defensive play ignited another hot stretch for the Enterprise offense. Less than a minute later, Andrew Mills scored off an assist from

Joe Broam. Three minutes later, John Broam had a goal to put Enterprise up 4-0 at the 18-minute mark.

“Those are moments of brilliance,” McDermott said. “Unfortunately, they don’t

Enterprise girls soccer coach Malcolm Colbert shook his head and laughed when it was mentioned the Lady Cats had just won a defensive struggle. At least, that’s not how he described the 1-0 Enterprise win Monday against Trinity.

“We were flat,” Colbert said. “Initially, we started off with a lot of confidence. We assumed an initiative, but we never had one.”

Good thing the Lady Cats were at least confident early. That’s when Enterprise scored its only goal.

Cassie Wilcox bounced a shot off the upper 90 that fell into the net at the 2-minute mark. That 1-0 lead held for the final 78 minutes.

“In the play, we got quiet,” Colbert said. “We had a lot of miscues. We had a lot of misplayed balls. Things that come from a sense of overconfidence. We were just flat.”

After that confidence left the Enterprise

sideline, the play of the Lady Cats was just a little off the normal play. Passes were intercepted or mishandled. Shots were misplayed. Even defensively, the Lady Cats had some slips, though none turned out costly.

“We were a second off,” Colbert said. “It was just a matter of being of just a touch. There were so many times when people should have come to the ball and been the first to the ball (and weren’t).”

Many factors could have factored into the lackadaisical play, Colbert said. The weather suddenly warmed into the 70s, much different from the 30- and 40-degree games Enterprise has played this season. Fatigue becomes more of a factor in the warmer weather. Allergies become a factor.

More than one player got sick during the game. The time change even could have played a role, Colbert said.

He wasn’t making excuses. Colbert was just trying to explain why the level of play dropped so low.

“We have no excuses other than we won a hard-fought game,” Colbert said. “It wasn’t the game that the girls or I expected us to play. The primary thing was talking and overconfidence in some players. They got caught.”

Whatever the reason, Colbert has time to find it. The Lady Cats won’t play for another week. Because the graduation exams are ongoing, Enterprise will not play a game until March 17.

That’s fine by Colbert. He has plans to keep the Lady Cats busy.

“We’ve got a long wait (until the next game),” Colbert said. “We’re going to run. I don’t know if we need conditioning, but we need to clean our pipes.”

Lady Cats ‘a second off’ in win

For the first time in years, this week means something to Auburn basketball fans.

Auburn has a legitimate shot at winning the South-eastern Conference Basketball tournament championship.

Don’t count them out, ei-ther. This team is the real deal.

But Auburn might have the eyes of the tiger on a bigger prize.

A lot of talking heads are discounting Auburn as an NCAA Tournament worthy team. I’m not sure why.

Is it because the Tigers came from nowhere and have landed firmly on the NCAA Tournament bubble?

Since Feb. 6, Auburn has jumped 50 spots in the RPI to 64, the magic number on which many bracketologists believe tournament invitations are based.

Auburn is the only SEC team to beat Tennessee and LSU, the Eastern and Western Division Champions.

The win Saturday against LSU should have clinched a bid to the Big Dance. LSU is a Top-15 team that is playing some of the best basketball in the country.

The Tigers didn’t just win that game. Auburn destroyed the SEC’s other Tigers.

Sure, the emotion of senior day probably played a part in it. And one of the largest crowds to watch the Auburn men play in years helped.

But in an empty gym on a Monday morning, I’ll still take Auburn.

I watched an Auburn-Alabama game at Beard-Eaves Memorial Coliseum in 2004, Jeff Lebo’s first year on the Plains. I told a friend that Lebo appeared to be a tough, hard-nosed coach that, if given time, could turn Auburn into a basketball school.

Lebo was almost too tough and too hard-nosed. Many players didn’t like his style and chose to leave the program.

That high turnover rate made it hard for Lebo to lay the foundation for a good program.

Until now. Auburn has a perfect blend of veterans with DeWayne Reed and Korvotney Barber and newcomers Tay Waller and Frankie Sullivan.

That combination has helped Auburn win 18 of its last 24 games and eight of its last nine.

Every year in March people talk about how a team finishes. Auburn finished the regular season as good as any team in the country.

Auburn might be playing for its NCAA tourney lives during this week’s SEC tourna-ment.

The question is, does it matter? Auburn has proved to be good enough to win with-out the added motivation.

Enterprise softball coach Ben Thompson didn’t need the scorebook to explain the 5-4 loss the Lady Cats suffered to Dothan last Thursday.

Thompson could count the errors Enterprise made during the game in his head. The Lady Cats committed six errors in the loss. Of the five runs Dothan scored, only three were earned. All three of those came with two out.

“We keep giving away outs,” Thompson said. “They got their first two runs with two outs. We can’t do that. We can’t be a con-tender for state and make those kinds of mistakes.”

Enterprise took an early 1-0 lead when Januar Page singled in Bailey Harrelson, who reached base on a walk.

But Dothan’s pitching shut down the Enterprise bats. The Lady Cats got just two hits through the five innings.

While Enterprise was strug-gling to find a rhythm at the plate, the Dothan bats came alive with a little help from the Lady Cats.

Dothan had two players reach base on an error during the first inning. One was thrown out

by Adrienne Bradley attempting to steal second base. The other was stranded at the end of the inning.

The Lady Cats didn’t get those breaks in the third. After giving up a leadoff single, Brit-tany Perry forced two more outs. Two errors proved to be Enterprise’s undoing. Two con-secutive Dothan batters reached base on an error. Both times a

runner scored instead of being stranded.

Enterprise finally made a comeback attempt in the sixth inning. With Kayla Beth Logs-don and Adrienne Bradley on base, Terra Rasmussen uncorked a home run to left-center field. That cut Dothan’s lead to 5-4.

Enterprise threatened to tie the score or take the lead in the seventh inning. After fouling off at least five third-strike foul balls, Harrelson reached base on an error. She moved to second base on Page’s infield single and stole third. Page stole second.

That’s as close as Enterprise would get.

“We didn’t quit,” Thompson said. “I love the way this team fights to the end, but we keep putting ourselves in a hole. We can’t do that all year.”

The loss dropped Enter-prise to 8-2-1 overall and 0-1 in Class 6A, Area 5 play. Along with Northview, Enterprise and Dothan make up one of the strongest softball areas in the state, Thompson said.

“I defy anyone to find a tougher region in the state,” Thompson said. “All three of those teams can win 40 games this year. To have three teams win that many games and have

one sit at home, shows just how tough this area is.”

But Thompson looked on the positive side of the loss. It’s just one loss. The teams will meet again. Enterprise will play

region-foe Northview twice. Plus, the area tournament

determines which two teams go to the postseason, and which team will be left.

“We’ve got so many more

games ahead of us,” Thompson said. “It hurts not to pull one out on the road, but we’ve got to win our home games. If we buckle down and limit our mistakes, we can beat anybody.”

The Enterprise softball team advanced through pool play unbeaten at last week-end’s Auburn Invitational, but lost in the first round of elimi-nation play.

Sparkman defeated the Lady Cats 6-0 last Satur-day. Enterprise had defeated Dadeville 6-1 and Central-Phenix City 4-2 on Friday.

“It was a disappointing tournament for the girls,” EHS softball coach Ben Thompson said. “We played so well Friday, and played with Sparkman for a couple of innings, but we just didn’t execute.”

Ashley Simon led Enter-prise against Sparkman with a hit and two stolen bases. Jor-dan Bullock had a hit and one stolen base.

“We have to get the bunts down or put the ball on the ground when the situation calls for it,” Thompson said. “When teams walk up and we have runners in scoring posi-tion, we have to get the ball on the ground. We are striking out too much in crucial situations. We all need to do a better job of executing.”

Brittany Perry took the loss for Enterprise. Perry gave up six hits and three runs, none earned, with two strikeouts and a walk.

Simon led the Enterprise attack in the tournament’s first game against Dadeville last Friday. Simon went 2-for-2, scored a run and drove in a run. Perry had two hits and an RBI. Bullock had a hit and a steal.

Terra Rasmussen earned the win. Rasmussen pitched four innings and allowed just three hits. Perry notched the save by pitching the final two innings and allowing just one hit.

Adrienne Bradley had two hits and two RBIs to lead Enter-prise against Central-Phenix City. Rasmussen had a hit and an RBI. Bailey Harrelson scored a run and stole three bases.

Kaitlin Strickland pushed her record to 7-1 after hold-ing Phenix City to six hits and two runs in 4.2 innings. Perry earned the save by pitching the final third of the inning.

Enterprise now stands at 10-3-1. The Lady Cats will trav-el to Kinston Thursday before playing in the Honeybee Invi-tational at Baker this weekend.

Apparently the Enterprise junior varsity softball team didn’t want to stop playing last weekend at the Auburn Invitational. The Lady Cats won two games Friday and four on Saturday to win the JV Championship.

Enterprise defeated Handley’s JV 3-0 Saturday night to clinch the title.

“The girls and coaches were very tired after the long day of playing,” Enterprise JV coach Freda Jones said, “but it was worth it. They all had a good time.”

The Lady Cats used a strong pitching effort from Jostlyn Higgerson in the final. Higgerson allowed just two hits and four base runners while pitching the complete-game shutout. Higgerson struck out nine. Higgerson also had a hit and an RBI.

Marley Strahan led Enterprise at the plate with three hits and a run scored. Sara Kathryn Tindol had two hits and scored a run. Heather Spillers had one hit and two RBIs. Shelby Pawlik and Emily Waters each walked three times. Waters scored a run.

“I’m so very proud of the girls,” Jones said. “Every girl contributed. All the girls played because all the girls are on the team.”

Enterprise advanced to the final with a 4-2 victory against Sparkman in the semifinal.

Higgerson again was a force in the circle, striking out nine and allowing just three hits. At the plate, Higgerson had a hit and scored a run.

Pawlik led the Lady Cats at the plate with two hits, an RBI and a run scored. Ashley Brown and Strahan both had

a hit and scored a run. Brown also had an RBI. Tindol and Waters each had a hit.

The Lady Cats flexed their muscle in a 10-0 win against Benjamin Russell.

Strahan pitched the shutout, allowing just three hits. Strahan also had a hit, an RBI and scored a run at the plate.

Brown and Montana Savage each had two hits and two RBIs. Tindol had two hits, a run scored and an RBI. Pawlik had two hits and scored a run. Spillers had a hit and scored a run, but Jones said her biggest contribution came from two great catches in the outfield to prevent runners from scoring. Jin-Mi Matsunaga had a hit and scored the final run of the game.

Kimberly Spillers, who spent most of the tournament as a courtesy runner, scored a run. She also stole nine bases during the tournament. “No one could throw her out,” Jones said.

Kimberly Spillers wasn’t the only terror on the base paths. Strahan finished the weekend with seven stolen bases. Tindol and Savage both swiped six. Bailey Hurst stole five bags.

“It was so amazing to see the girls execute the skills (the coaching staff ) had practiced with them every day,” Jones said. “Whatever I called, fake bunt, steal, hit and run, sacrifice, drag, take or anything, they attempted it and were successful most of the time.”

Pawlik set the tone Saturday in the first elimination game of the tournament. Pawlik pitched a complete-game no-hitter in a 15-0 win against Central-Phenix City. Just one Phenix-City runner reached base. At the plate,

Pawlik had a hit, scored a run and drove in a run.

Strahan went 3-for-3 to lead the Lady Cats. She drove in three runs and scored twice. Higgerson went 2-for-3 with three RBIs and a run scored. Waters had two hits, three RBIs and scored three times. Heather Spillers went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a run scored. Brown, Tindol, Nataleigh Dorrill, Hannah


The Enterprise varsity softball team needed extra innings to defeat G.W. Long 4-3 last Tuesday.

Adrienne Bradley scored the game-winning run on a Terra Rasmussen ground ball.

Bradley, Ashley Simon and Januar Page each had a hit for Enterprise. Page also stole a base.

“Our girls played well enough to win, but we are still not playing seven

innings,” Enterprise coach Ben Thompson said. “We are having mental letdowns. If we can correct that, maybe we can win more games this year.”

Kaitlin Strickland earned the win after pitching four innings of relief. She allowed three hits and two runs while striking out five and walking one. Brittany Perry started the game and pitched four innings of one-hit ball. Perry struck out six and walked just one.

“Our pitching was great and we never quit,” Thompson

said. “I’m confident we will be OK.”

Easley and Abby Purvis each had a hit.

Enterprise opened the tournament hot in pool play. The Lady Cats defeated Spanish Fort 14-1 in the tournament’s opening game.

Higgerson got the win after allowing just three hits and two walks while striking out eight. She also drove in two runs offensively.

Pawlik, Brown and Tindol led the Lady Cats at the plate with three hits each. Pawlik had three RBIs and scored twice. Brown scored three

times and drove in a run. Tindol had three hits and two RBIs.

Strahan went 2-for-2 with two RBIs and two runs scored. Hurst had two hits and scored twice. Waters and Savage each had a hit and an RBI.

It wasn’t all easy for Enterprise. The Lady Cats squeaked past Auburn 4-3 in pool play. Savage scored the winning run on a Hurst bunt.

Brown had a hit and two RBIs in the win. She also scored a run. Waters had a hit and an RBI. Higgerson had a

hit and scored a run. Strahan pitched three

innings for the win. She allowed three runs and struck out seven. At the plate, Strahan had a hit and scored a run.

Enterprise improved its record to 13-3-1 after the tournament.

The Lady Cats will play at Kinston Thursday.

“These girls believe in themselves and they know Coach (Julio) Santiago and I believe in each of them,” Jones said. “They played with a lot of heart.”

Enterprise baseball coach Shawn Gilmer had mixed emotions after last Saturday’s loss to Auburn in Smiths Station.

Auburn defeated Enterprise 4-3. The Wildcats got only five hits. Enter-prise also committed an error that led to three unearned Auburn runs.

But against a good team, Enterprise proved it could compete.

The Wildcats made costly mistakes, but still had a chance to win.

“I thought we played a good ball game even though we lost,” Gilmer said. “Auburn has a great team and we showed we can compete with those types of teams if we do well.”

Enterprise got a good effort from starting pitcher Zach Kandle and relief pitcher William Tremlett. Kandle pitched three innings and gave up five hits and three runs, all unearned. Trem-lett relieved Kandle in the fourth inning and gave up just three hits and a run in four innings. He struck out six.

“Zach pitched well enough to win,” Gilmer said. “William came in and did a tremendous job for us in relief.”

Chandler Duncan and Brett West each went 1-for-3 with an RBI to lead Enterprise at the plate.

Enterprise receives, gives to Smiths Station

Enterprise got an early gift from the Smiths Station Panthers in the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader.

The Wildcats benefited from a leadoff double and early Smiths Station errors to take a quick 2-0 lead.

But then Enterprise gave it all back

and lost 12-2. The Wildcats committed a costly error that opened the baseball scoring gates for Smiths Station.

The Panthers opened the game with a single. A possible double play turned into an error and “it all went downhill from there,” Gilmer said.

Smiths Station turned the miscue into 11 runs. Enterprise used two pitch-ers in the first inning and a different pitcher every inning after that, using Justin Hancock, Trey Smith and Brett West.

Jason Jordan gave up three hits, walked two and allowed six runs with-out recording an out. Tyler Warren fin-ished the first, allowing four hits and a walk and five runs.

“Jason had a rough start, but he will get better the more the pitches,” Gilmer said. “Tyler had to come in with the bases loaded and no outs without much time to warm up.

“We went with a different pitcher every inning for the next three to get our other guys some work. Brett and Trey did real well. Justin walked a few too many, but he had caught the game before so I am sure his arm was a little tired.”

Hancock gave up a hit and walked three in his inning. Smith did not allow a hit. West struck out all three batters he faced.

Despite the fast start, Enterprise could not find a rhythm on offense. The Wildcats managed just two hits in the game. Jordan and Evan Horner had Enterprise’s only hits.

“Bottom line for this game is that we didn’t hit the ball well enough to win it, even if the defense and pitching had been there,” Gilmer said.

Gilmer did find the silver lining. After the initial shock of an 11-run inning, the Enterprise pitchers settled

down and allowed just one more run.“That was a terrible feeling see-

ing those guys score 11 on you in one inning and not being able to get out of it,” Gilmer said. “I hope that’s some-thing they will learn from and work to never let that happen to them again.”

Enterprise bats warm up in winIt might have taken longer than the

Wildcats wanted, but Enterprise’s bats finally warmed up to pull out a 7-3 win against Elba last Friday.

Enterprise trailed 2-0 early before the bats came alive in the fourth inning. The Wildcats scored two in the fourth to tie and added three more in the fifth to take the lead. Enterprise added two insurance runs in the seventh inning.

“We started off a little slow at the plate, but finally got things going,” Gilmer said.

Chris Morris led Enterprise with two doubles and three RBIs. Chandler Duncan had a home run and two RBI. Thomas Hughes went 2-for-4.

Levi Tat started the game and allowed five hits in five innings. He struck out 11. Ryan Tanner got the save after allowing just two hits in two innings.

Makeup date scheduledThe Enterprise-Houston Academy

that was originally scheduled for Feb. 28 has been rescheduled for this Friday.

The Wildcats will play Houston Academy this Friday at Donaldson Park. The game was originally part of the Mikey Tompkins Memorial Tourna-ment. Severe weather forced the post-ponement of three games from Feb. 28, the second day of the tournament.

The teams will play a doubleheader, with the first game beginning at 4 p.m.Enterprise junior Trey Smith takes a swing in recent action.



The Enterprise junior varsity baseball team split a doubleheader in Auburn last weekend. The Wildcats won game one 5-4 in extra innings, but lost the second game 15-3.

Jacob Malkoff earned the win on the mound. Dalton Dalrymple got the save.

“Our pitching has carried us early this year, and Dalton and Jacob have had a lot to do

with our success in that area,” Enterprise JV coach Matt Bar-ton said.

Dustin Wallace led the Wildcats with three hits. Tyler Stump and Malkoff each had two hits, with Malkoff hitting a home run. Eric Averett also hit a home run in the game.

“We made all the routine plays on the defensive side and a couple of great plays,” Barton said, noting Lance McMann’s diving catch in left field and Levi Tate throwing a runner out at home plate to

end the game.The Wildcats couldn’t

carry that momentum over to game two. Early errors led to a big inning for Auburn.

“We were unable to recover from it,” Barton said. “It takes you out of your game when you fall behind big that early.”

Tate had two hits to lead the Wildcats.

The Wildcats currently have a 6-5 record. Barton said pitching has led the team so far, but the hitting is getting

better. “If we can eliminate mis-

takes and learn from them, we should continue to improve,” Barton said. “When we play good defense, we can be a pretty good team. Errors and not being patient have put us in some bad situations. I think we learned from this weekend that we must play with the same intensity every game.

“I’m proud of our team so far this season. We will con-tinue to work and get better every day.”

Enterprise JV splits doubleheader with Auburn


The Enterprise girls tennis team earned two wins last week. The Lady Cats defeated Provi-dence 9-0 on March 3 and defeat-ed Northview 7-2 last Thursday.

Enterprise had no trouble dispatching Providence for the second time in a week. The Lady Cats defeated Providence 9-0 Feb. 24.

This contest was more of the same. Providence won just 11 matches in the Nos. 2 through 11 bracket. Kendall Ward won the No. 1 singles 7-6 (7-1), 6-1. After her tiebreaker in the first set, Providence won more than two games in a set just once.

Julia Moore won the No. 2 singles at 6-4, 6-1.

“Kendall battled to a win in the tiebreaker and then domi-nated her opponent in the sec-ond set,” EHS tennis coach Gray Harrison said.

Pamiann Juback won the No. 3 singles title 6-2, 6-1. Kelsey McLean claimed the No. 4 title 6-0, 6-0. Mary Catherine Ezzell won the No. 5 singles title at 6-2, 6-0. Danielle Gadzala, making her first appearance in the top six, won at the No. 6 spot 6-0, 6-0.

“Danielle Gadzala was a pleasant surprise at No. 6,” Har-rison said. “That was her first match in the top-6.”

Sierra Sullivan swept her opponent at 6-0, 6-0 at the No. 7 singles. Merena Mills also got a 6-0, 6-0 win at the No. 8 spot. Mil-lie Metcalf would have rounded out the singles play with a 10-1 win.

Ward and Moore combined for a convincing 6-2, 6-4 win in the No. 1 doubles. Juback and McLean earned a 6-0, 6-0 win in No. 2 doubles. Mary Evelyn Owens and Kirsten Gulimette won the No. 3 doubles with a 6-4, 6-1 win.

Enterprise girls tennis team earns two wins

“(Juback and McClean) had a good doubles match,” Harri-son said. “They dominated their match from start to finish, not wasting any time or shots.”

The good play carried over to last Thursday for a 7-2 win

against Northview. Ward lost 8-0 in the No. 1

singles. That was the only sin-gles loss for Enterprise, though. Moore earned an 8-4 win at No. 2; Juback notched an 8-6 win at No. 3.

“(Moore and Juback) both played up to the competition and both can continue to get better and play better against stiff com-petition,” Harrison said.

McClean’s illness forced some movement in the Top 6. Ezzell, Gadzala and Owens each moved into the Top 6. They each won, also. Ezzell won 8-3. Gad-zala earned an 8-4 win. Owens won 8-4.

“All three played great and are working hard to stay in the Top 6,” Harrison said.

Ward and Moore won an 8- 4 match in No. 1 doubles. Juback and Ezzell lost 4-8. Gadzala and Guilmette earned an 8-6 win in No. 3 doubles.

The tennis team will be busy next week with a match against Dothan Monday. The Lady Cats play at 4 p.m. Enterprise travels to Andalusia March 17. Phenix City comes to Enterprise next Thurs-day at 4 p.m.

The popular amusement park ride the roller coaster was the perfect analogy for New Brockton softball coach Jaime Carruthers when describing last Thursday’s 10-8 victory against Cottonwood.

The game had everything a roller coaster offers: extreme highs, quick drops and sudden

turns.The Lady Gamecocks

were the last ones smiling in the cart, though, in the eight-inning win.

“It was an emotionally high game,” Carruthers said. “It was an emotional roller coaster.”

The emotions began early for New Brockton. The Lady Gamecocks cheered wildly as Emily Smith knocked in two

runs with a first-inning single. The dugout got quiet as Smith was injured sliding into third base.

New Brockton players screamed madly as the Lady Gamecocks opened a 6-1 lead by the third inning. The players said nothing as Cottonwood came back to tie the game at 6-6 in the fifth inning.

The Lady Gamecocks celebrated loudly as Aubrey

Baer’s pinch-hit, two-run home run gave New Brockton a brief lead. Hardly a word was said as Cottonwood scored two runs in the bottom half of the inning to tie the game at 8-8.

“Cottonwood is a very scrappy team,” Carruthers said. “They played hard. But our girls stayed calm and relaxed. They fought hard and pulled it off.”

Heather Hendrix opened

the eighth inning by reaching base on an error. That’s all the extra life New Brockton needed. Chelsea Holloway followed Hendrix with a double that Carruthers said “took the yellow right off the ball.” Hendrix scored on Chelsea Lindsey’s RBI groundout.

New Brockton added another run on Kaitlan Crosby’s fielder’s choice.

Of all the emotion on display, Carruthers said New Brockton’s most important feelings came after Cottonwood rallied to tie the Lady Gamecocks in the sixth inning.

“They didn’t hang their heads,” Carruthers said. “It was like, ‘Here we go. We’re back to square one. Let’s score a run.’”

Holloway led the Lady Gamecocks on offense, going 2-for-3. Chelsea Smith went 2-for-4. Jenna Freese and Crosby each had one hit and one RBI. Chelsea Lindsey also added a hit.

Next up for the Lady Gamecocks is the perfect remedy that saw two New Brockton players leave the game with injuries. New Brockton has a week off before returning to the field March 13 in the Andalusia Invitational.

The Lady Gamecocks, who improved to 4-3 with the win, play Red Level Friday at 4:30 p.m. Should New Brockton win, the Lady Gamecocks would play Florala at 5 p.m. Friday night. If New Brockton loses, it would play at 9 p.m. Friday.

Gamecocks getting in the swing of golfBy Andy LeonardSun Sports Editor

In just the second year of the program, New Brockton’s golf coach doesn’t have ambitions of a state championship.

He just wants each member of the team to enjoy a round of golf and learn the particulars of the game.

The Gamecocks have been consistent this season, shooting scores of 414, 414 and 415 in three events. New Brockton finished third in all three tri-matches.

“They’re playing hard,” New Brockton golf coach Brad Smith said. “We’re having fun

and we’re doing good. The kids are learning the game. That’s all I want.”

Juniors Sawyer Whittaker and John Donaldson join sophomores Steven Smith, John Morgan and Taylor McAnear on this year’s team. Last year was the first time New Brockton had a golf team.

“We’re introducing these kids to golf,” Smith said. “I want them to have a good time. I want them to experience athletics. This is the only sport that two of them play.”

New Brockton opened the season Feb. 23 at Tartan Pines Golf Club in Enterprise against Charles Henderson and Enterprise.

Steven Smith won the low-medalist by shooting a 73. The Gamecocks finished in third, though, with a team score of 414. Donaldson shot a 107. Morgan had a 114. Whittaker fired a 120.

Enterprise won the event with a team score of 343. Charles Henderson placed second with a 365.

The Gamecocks stayed consistent with a 414 in a tri-match against Providence and Carroll Feb. 24. Carroll won the overall title with a 330. Providence scored a 345 for second place.

Smith again was the low-medalist for the day with a 2-over-par 74. Whittaker

improved his score by 20 strokes and shot an even 100. Donaldson and Morgan each posted a 120.

New Brockton traveled to Ozark March 2 for its third event. The team shot a 415 to finish in third place. Ozark won the event with a 311.

Steven Smtih led the Gamecocks with an 85. Donaldson, Morgan and Whittaker all bunched together for a 109, 110 and 111, respectively.

“We’re holding our own,” Smith said. “I’m proud of them. I’m not disappointed in the least. Sometimes you play well and sometimes you don’t. That’s golf.”

Gamecocks can’t get big hit in loss to KinstonBy Andy LeonardSun Sports Editor

The biggest message New Brockton baseball coach Jim Bob Striplin wanted to get across to his players was to take advantage of opportunities.

The Gamecocks couldn’t do that in a 7-2 loss to Kinston last Tuesday.

“I talked to them after the game and told them when Kinston had runners on base, they were able to come up with a big hit,” Striplin said. “We weren’t able to do that. That was ultimately the difference in the game.”

New Brockton left five runners on base. Most of those came near the end of the game when the Gamecocks were trying to make a comeback.

“Can we step up and make plays when we need to?” Striplin asked his team. “Every game will be like that. It’s like a tennis match. Somebody’s got to break serve and get that winner.”

Kinston jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the second inning. Seth Culverhouse led off the fourth inning with a home run to narrow the margin to 2-1, but the Bulldogs answered with two more runs in the bottom of the inning.

Each team scored a run in the fifth inning to move the score to 5-2. Kinston clinched the win with a pair of runs in the sixth inning.

The Kinston pitching staff kept New Brockton off balance all day and allowed just six Gamecock hits. New Brockton got eager at the plate, Striplin said. Only three Gamecocks walked.

“We need better at-bats,” Striplin said. “We need to take pitchers deeper into the count, instead of settling for

the first thing thrown to us.“We’ve got some

competitive guys who want to get up there and make things happen. In baseball, that can go against you. You’ve got to be as smart at the plate as you are anxious to hit.”

Almost all of the New Brockton offense came from the Nos. 2, 3 and 4 hitters. Justin Farris, Trey Knight and Culverhouse combined for five of the six New Brockton hits. Culverhouse scored the Gamecocks’ only two runs.

“We need some more production from the bottom of the order,” Striplin said. “I think production will get better as we go along.”

New Brockton played a rematch against Kinston Tuesday night after The Southeast Sun went to press. For more on that game, see next week’s edition of The Southeast Sun.

The Gamecocks open Class 2A, Area 2 play Friday at Cottonwood. First pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m.

From staff reports

The New Brockton softball team earned an 8-2 win against county-rival Zion Chapel last Tuesday.

Jenna Freese led the Lady Gamecocks with two hits, two runs and an RBI. Emily Smith also had two hits and an RBI. Vanessa Stuckey and Heather Hendrix each went 1-for-3.

Chelsea Holloway went 1-for-2 with two RBIs. Chelsea Lindsey had a two-run home run.

Hendrix earned the win in the circle for New Brockton. The sophomore pitched a complete game and struck out 14 batters. She allowed just four hits and two walks.

Brockton 13-2 last Tuesday in junior varsity softball action. The Lady Gamecocks fell to 4-4 with the loss.

First United Methodist prepares for Hunter’s Extravaganza 2009By Andy LeonardSun Sports Editor

When Ryan Deaton first decided to present an outdoors event at his church, he hoped it would do well.

Now that the event is in its second year, he knows it will.Enterprise First United Methodist Church will present the

Hunter’s Extravaganza 2009 at 5 p.m. March 21 in the church’s gymnasium and fellowship hall.

This year the event features about 15 outdoors vendors, door prizes, professional speakers and the Trophies of Grace deer replica collection.

Deaton expects Hunter’s Extravaganza to be bigger than last year, when the event attracted almost 400 people.

“When I first thought about this idea, it was, ‘Well, let’s give it a shot,’” Deaton said. Deaton serves as the director of recreational ministries at First United. “We were amazed by the response we had from it. We knew right away that this was something we were going to continue doing every year. It’s a big undertaking, but it’s well worth the effort.”

Tickets to Hunter’s Extravaganza are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Deaton said a little more than 500 tickets

would be available. The cost of the event is $10. That includes dinner and entry to the door-prizes giveaway. Door prizes will include a brand new 4-Wheeler, several guns, real estate and fishing equipment, among other items donated by businesses in and around Enterprise.

“We’ll probably have about $5,000 worth of door prizes to give away,” Deaton said.

The meal will be chicken and barbecue, along with all the sides.

“The food will be just great,” Deaton said. “People won’t go away hungry, I can promise that.”

The night begins in the gymnasium. Vendors from approximately 15 companies will set up a booth to display their items. Booths will vary from ATVs, to deer procession, to even real estate.

Visitors will be led into the fellowship hall for dinner and a lesson. Speaking to guests will be Jon Paul Moody and Rusty Farmer of Harvest Outdoor Ministries.

Moody recently won the 2008 World Predator Calling Championship. He also has won the NRA Great American Game Calling Challenge and the NRA Great American Game Calling Challenge World Championship in the Team Calling

Division. Farmer has spent a lifetime hunting and is recognized as

one of the most successful outdoorsmen around. Also making an appearance at Hunter’s Extravaganza will

be the Trophies of Grace. Based in Pensacola, Fla., this show-case features 30 world-class mounted trophy whitetail deer. The deer average 224 on the Boone and Crockett scale.

Just don’t expect to find one from nearby.“I’m afraid a lot of these are not deer that we have in

south Alabama, unfortunately,” Deaton said with a laugh. “Not in Coffee County, anyway.”

The Trophies of Grace display will be in the gym. Tickets can be purchased at First United Methodist

Church, L&M Tire Company and the Wireless Plus Alltel North Point Center in Enterprise and at Rogers Taxidermy in Dothan.

“It should be a good night,” Deaton said. “It’s something different to do, but something fun. There are a lot of hunters in our area and I think they would enjoy coming to see some-thing like this.”

Special to the Sun

The Enterprise-Ozark Community College Boll Weevils made two successful trips to Selma over the weekend and came home with three conference wins against Wallace-Selma.

The first game of the set was scheduled for 2 p.m. Friday but the late arrival of game officials delayed the first pitch three hours. The extended pre-game had no impact on the Weevils as they blasted 14 hits in support of starting pitcher George Grote in a 7-0 win.

Grote, a sophomore from Newnan, Ga., faced 27 batters and struck out 13. Wallace never threatened in the outing.

“He pitched really well,” said EOCC coach Tim Hulsey, now in his 23rd season at Enterprise. “It was a great day.”

Matt Whitton had three hits to lead the EOCC attack. Jerome Jones, Seth Currie, and Trey Boothe had a pair of hits apiece as the Weevils improved to 4-9.

Due to the late start and subsequent late finish to Friday’s

game, Saturday’s doubleheader was postponed until Sunday.The Weevils got off the bus hitting to win Sunday’s opener,

13-0, with Sean Gancer earning the victory. Jonathan Sholar led the Enterprise attack with a three-run homer. Sholar had four RBIs on the day. Jones kept up his torrid hitting with a 6-for-9 day in both ends of the doubleheader.

Enterprise won the nightcap, 6-1, with Zach Jadofsky notching the victory.

“Wallace-Selma is not that good right now,” Hulsey said. “But we played well in spots and winning three conference games is always a good thing. But we still left some things on the table. We should have put Selma away early when we had chances.

“We must do that starting this weekend when Southern Union comes to town.”

Enterprise, which played Marion Tuesday, hosts Southern Union at 2 p.m. Friday, and a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m. Saturday.
