On Saturday, April 20th, the Auburn Tigers will take the field at Jordan-Hare Stadium to continue a tradition that

we have come to know as A-Day. Many will approach the weekend with a flood of contradicting emotions as one tradition continues and another sees its final day. At the corner of Magnolia and College a tradition will come to an end, as what is left of the Toomer’s Oaks will be covered one last time with countless sheets of bathroom tissue.

The historic trees, poisoned in 2010, will be removed shortly after A-Day weekend and we will be left in anticipation to await the unveiling of the future of Toomer’s Corner, the future of a unique tradition--one that can only be understood and truly mourned by those who have taken part in the event. However, as the University’s Vice President for Alumni Affairs and Executive Director

of the Auburn Alumni Association Debbie Shaw stated, “The Oaks at Toomer’s Corner have been a part of Auburn tradition for generations; their removal will in no way di-minish the Auburn Spirit, which has grown even stronger during these past two years.”

For decades, the tradition of rolling the Toomer’s Oaks has marked the celebration of victories on Auburn’s campus. Though many associate the tradition with football, students have rolled the trees for victories in everything from football to basketball, Olympic medals to presidential elections.

The plans for what will stand next at Toomer’s Corner will ideally be announced at the A-Day game and displayed on the Jumbotron in Jordan-Hare stadium, accord-ing to Dan King, Assistant Vice President of Facilities at Auburn.

Auburn University and the City of Auburn will host a “Celebrate the Tradition” block party at Toomer’s Corner on Saturday, April 20th. The event will be held after the A-Day football game and will give fans one last chance to roll and photograph the beloved oaks before the trees are removed. The date for removal of what is left of the trees has been set for April 23rd.

The “We LOVE Our Cause” initiative was

created to help raise awareness for the many great causes that exist in our very own back yard here locally in the Auburn-Opelika area. This initiative is a way to help promote ALL “local” non-profits that choose to participate to help get the word out about their cause. As a way of giving back, Prewett Insurance Group will donate $20 to any local non-profit when someone calls or stops in for an insurance quote and mentions their “cause.” This includes home, auto, life, motorcycle insurance and more.

In the Complete Coverage Community Newsletter, we will focus on a local non-profit as our “Cause of the Month”. A description of the non-profit along with their contact information will be includ-ed in the article. For the “Crazy About the Cause” that will be highlighted and focused on in this newsletter, Prewett Insurance Group will DOUBLE the $20 donation for that cause for that month only! For more information please visit www.weloveourcause.com or call us today (334) 502-5111.

Welcome to Complete Coverage, an Auburn-Opelika community insider newsletter. I am Rusty Prewett of the Allstate Prewett Insurance Group and founder of the “We LOVE Our Cause” community initiative. As 2001 Auburn graduates, my wife Mandy and I have a connection to the Auburn-Opelika area like many others do.

In September of 2011, I opened an Allstate Insurance agency in the area, now known as the Allstate Prewett Insur-ance Group. After moving to Auburn, we found there are many activities for family, friends and couples in Auburn-Opelika area, but not much guidance outside of the web in how to find them. So, we bring you a consolidation of the online websites right here!

This newsletter is my way of giving back to our great community. Also giving back to the community is our “We LOVE Our Cause” program. This program was created to raise awareness for many of our local nonprofit organiza-tions in the Auburn-Opelika area. I want to thank all of the participating organizations and the community for their continued loyalty and support of this cause and community awareness. I am passionate about this program and raising awareness for the many great causes that are in our very own backyard. I encourage all of you to visit www.weloveourcause.com to find ad-ditional information on the program.

Enjoy this newsletter, which you will receive monthly or find it online at www.yourcompletecoverage.com

CELEBRATING SOUTHERN CULTUREOPELIKA, AL We introduced this newslet-ter as a guide to what’s going on in the Auburn-Opelika area, and with that, feel obligated to introduce you to a few hid-den gems in the area.

On the corner of Avenue B and South 10th Street lies a building with undeni-able history and character. The Overall Company (the Original Overall Compa-ny), in its beginnings, started in Opelika in the mid-1800s during the manufactur-ing boom. They manufactured Eagle Brand Overalls up until the Civil Warwhen they began production on the uniforms for the Southern military.

The owners of the modern, “coffee bar and market featuring simple Southern food with a few special treats, craft beer, wine, live southern music, and artisan pops made in house” version of this company will tell you that “Repurposing the name is our way of bringing a little bit of our history back to our future, showcasing just how much we Southern folk love a good story about our roots.”

The made-in-house artisan pops are worth the trip to this unique spot, not to mention their dedication to celebrate Southern culture at its roots: family, food, and music. Relax on the outdoor deck, peruse the exhibits, or stick around for one of the shows ( for starters you might check out the Sundilla Concert Series present: DAVE POTTSApril 6 at 7:30pm).

For more information find them online www.OverallCo.com and on Facebook.

The facts don’t lie. Cavities are a hugeproblem for children and teenagers in oursociety. Cavities can lead to painfultoothaches and serious infections.

What is causing the alarming rate ofcavities in our children? Our diet. We live ina society that is highly dependent on sugar.

I think everyone is aware of the sugars incakes, cookies and candies. However, I thinkthe “silent assassin” is the sugar in ourdrinks. a lot of people don't realize howharmful sugary drinks are. Especially sportsdrinks, soda, chocolate/strawberry milk,sweet tea, etc.

n Dental decay (cavities) is the most prevalent infectious disease among children.

n The number of cavities in 2-5 year olds is on the rise for the first time since the 1970’s.

n More than 40% of children have cavitiesby the time they reach kindergarten

n The overall rate of dental decay is highest during adolescence.

1. Brush and floss twice per day. Especially at night just before bedtime.

2. Limit sugary drinks to one time per day.

3. Don’t eat or drink anything after you brush at night (only water).

4. Limit your sweets to dessert times (right after meals) and not in between meals.

5. Use a fluoride toothpaste (but don’t swallow it).

6. Visit a dentist every 6 months.

I hope you’ll find this information interesting and useful. Please let us know if there is anythingwe can do to help keep your child “cavity free”!

Steps you can take to make sure your child is “cavity free”

AUBURN, AL This year, on April 18th, the ballroom at the Auburn University Hotel and Conference Center will be trans-formed into a whimsical “Rainbow Room” for the 3rd Annual Dancing Stars of East Alabama -- a battle on the dance floor to benefit the Child Advocacy Center of East Alabama.

This year’s event promises to be another big success with an already sold-out show that includes area “stars” Dan Anniuk (AU Alum), Dr. Polly Dunn (director, AUPSC), Jon Waggoner (attorney and AU Alum), Jen Slocumb (of Martha’s Trouble), Kathy Powell (State Farm), Stephen Prestridge (owner, Dimensions Studio), Allen Harris (owner, Maestro 2300), Chad Wachter (attorney, Samford and Denson), Pam Powers-Smith (owner, FlipFlopFoto),

and Dr. Brooke Williams (Pediatric Clinic). The event comprises 10 celebrity dancers paired with 10 professional danc-ers, all raising funds by gaining votes.

The purpose of the Child Advocacy Center of East Alabama is to provide a child-friendly atmosphere where children feel safe and are encouraged to tell their story. They are greeted by professionals trained to address the unique needs of each child. Through collaboration with other agencies, they are able to provide the child and the non-offending family members with core services: Forensic interviews & evaluations, therapy, parent-ing, and other educational programs.
