A Georgia sheriff’s
deputy in neighboring Harris County, GA is on the
road to recovery after a Saturday evening shooting on a
Georgia Interstate just miles
from Chambers County that
has left him fighting for his
life.
Deputy Jamie White a
deputy with the Harris
County Sheriff’s office was
attempting to pull over a vehicle for a routine traffic
stop on Interstate 185 near
mile marker 30. That is near
the Troup and Harris
County line.
Deputy White was attempting to stop a 1994
Blue Chevrolet Caprice that
is suspected to have been
driven by 24-year-old Joe
Garrett of Phenix City, Alabama. The traffic stop occurred around 7:30 p.m. on
Saturday evening. Deputy
White had stopped the vehi-
cle for speeding, a routine
traffic stop and had approached the driver of the
vehicle and obtained his driver’s license.
After a time period of
around seven minutes the
driver produced a firearm
and shot White once above
his left eye. Deputy white
was down at the vehicles
window talking to the
driver when the shot was
fired.The driver took his license back from the injured
deputy and left the scene.
Leaving the bleeding
deputy on the side of the Interstate.
Emergency officials arrived to assist the deputy
and he was taken to Midtown Medical Center in
Columbus, Ga for his injuries. He remained in the
ICU of the hospital until
Monday when he was
moved to different room in

People come
out to offer
suggestions for
new park
By Alton Mitchell
Tuesday evening presented something unique as
residents of LaFayette and
the surrounding region
turned out in amazing numbers to tell local leaders and
planners what they had
would like to see grow out
of the new LaFayette city
park. Many ideas and visions were tossed about that
have given planning officials the necessary foundation to see what local
residents expectations are
moving forward in one of
the largest public enrichment projects in recent his-
tory.
Many past planning
events
pertaining
to
LaFayette’s new city park
have been confined to the
walls of City Hall, however
Tuesdays meeting became
something more as the
opening atrium of the
Chambers County Courthouse became a massive
gathering pool of ideas and
hopes of the new park in
the hearts of residents.
Ideas had been laid out
ahead of time by planners
on some possible amenities
that the new park may feature. As residents entered
People of the community supporting the new city park. (Photo by Brooke Colley)
Activities laid out for city park (Photo by Alton Mitchell)
the Courthouse they were
met with several display
boards with possible features of the new park.
When residents saw one
that caught their eye and
that was a hope to be in the
new park they would be
able to place a sticker on
that item to show planning
officials which items have
the greatest pubic interest
going forth.
Featured ideas included things such as walk
and biking paths, a skateboard park, covered pavilions, sporting fields, a
splash pad, roller rinks, and
much more. Residents were
also allowed to write their
ideas on a large display
board to give more ideas as
to what the park can offer.

Cop shot in face
(Cont from page A1)
the hospital. He is expected to make a full recovery from his injuries.
Shortly following the
incident on the side of the
interstate, officials began
to search for a suspect.
Officials quickly identified Garrett as their suspected shooter and began
searching the area for him.
Late Saturday night he
turned himself in to police
in Phenix City. He waived
his extradition to Harris
County.
During the routine
traffic stop officials state
that the vehicle contained
three occupants. Police
believe that Garrett was
the driver. A second suspect has been arrested in
the case by the name of
Lytishia Horace also 24
and of Phenix City. Officials are not saying if she
was one of the suspected
occupants of the vehicle,
but she does face charges
for hindering in the apprehension of Garrett, tampering with evidence, and
obstruction of an officer.
Investigators believe she
attempted to hide Garrett
and remove info from his
cell phone following the
shooting.
Investigators believe
that the vehicle was occupied by one male and two
females.
Investigators
have not yet located the
suspected passengers in
the shooting, but are still
searching. Garrett faces a
long list of charges that
include aggravated assault
on a police officer, possession of a firearm by a convicted
felon,
felony
obstruction, possession of
a firearm during a felony,
and fleeing and attempting
to elude. Garrett has previous convictions for family violence and drug
related charges.
While the origin of
the traffic stop is listed as
a routine traffic stop for
speeding, police officers
know and understand that
there is no such thing as a
routine traffic stop. Every
stop is different and can
explode at a moment’s notice as was the case on
Saturday. In 2015 there
were 124 law enforcement
officials killed in the line
of duty. Of that 124 seven
of those shooting deaths
were the results of routine
traffic stops. In addition
42 died as a result of gunfire and 52 died from traffic related incidents.
Garrett is being held in the
Harris County jail at this
time without bond for his
charges, he may be moved
to a neighboring facility in
another County due to the
charges involving a Harris
County deputy.

(Cont from page A1)
The crowds brought
hundreds of people out
which included people of
all ages from adults to children, city officials, planners
and volunteers from Smart
Landscapes. The excitement was evident in attendees as local youth glanced
at some of the things that
may be forthcoming with
an elevated level of excitement and the actions of
adults was not far behind
those of the youth as they
saw so much potential in
the new facility.
City officials have
been moving at a very advanced pace to get the planning phases of the new park
out the way so hopefully
dirt can get to moving soon
on the project. The excitement is growing and residents are now seeing the
true evidence of what is to
come in the massive project
as the vision of city leaders
is closer to becoming a reality. Officials will be
being updated on the interests expressed at the planning meeting in the coming
weeks.

medium size dog to the age
of eleven is $16,400. I believe it – have you been to
the Vet lately?
7. The average number
of people that is airborne

any given hour is 61,000.
8.Intelligent people

11. If a statue in the
park of a person on a horse
has both front legs in the
air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one
front leg in the air, the person died of wounds received in battle. If the horse
all four legs on the ground,
the person died of natural
causes. At least this one is
informative!
12. Only two people

signed on August 2. However, The last signature
wasn’t added until 5 years

13. Half of all Americans live within 50 miles of

14. What do most

That one is wrong – billing

almost a thing of the past.
18. In Shakespeare's
time, mattresses were on
bed frames held in place by
ropes. When you pulled on
the ropes, the mattress
tightened, making the bed
firmer to sleep on. Hence,
the phrase “Good night,
sleep tight”. What a difference – most sleepers just
press the button for hard or
soft.
19. What do bulletproof vests, fire escapes,
windshield wipers and laser
printers have in common?
They were invented by
women! Probably by Carly
Fiorina!
20. This was an accepted practice in Babylon
was 4,000 years ago for a
month after the wedding;
the bride's father would
supply his son-in-law with
all the mead he could drink.
Mead is a honey beer and
because their calendar was
lunar based, this period was
called the honey month
which we today know as
the honeymoon. I am glad
that I did not have go
through that with 4 sorry
son-in-laws.
21. In English pubs,
ale is ordered by pints and
quarts – so in old England
when customers became
unruly, the bartender would
yell at them “Mind your P's
and Q's”.
22. Many years ago in
England, pub frequenters
had a whistle baked into the
rim or handle of their cups.
When they needed a refill,
they used the whistle to get
some service. “Wet your
whistle” is the phrase inspired by this practice.
These days one just puts his
credit card on the table and
the service is automatic.

It is rather obvious that
I plagiarized this “stuff you

Mary Adcock
emailed this trivia to me
last week. How much of
this stuff is accurate - I do
not know. Some of this
stuff has to be true as the
one reference to multiplication, I checked it out on my
calculator. I tried to lick my
elbow and almost did – almost that is. Due to my intellectual level, it is pretty
obvious that I do not have a
lot of zinc and copper in my
hair. How do I know that?
Zinc and copper have color

Managing Fire Ants with
Baits
Fire ants can be a
major problem for anyone
in the southeast and even in
other parts of the country as
well. Any outside area
where someone may be
walking, standing, sitting,
or playing for any amount
of time such as city parks
where children play, athletic turf, camp sites, outdoor concerts, lawns, etc.
are areas that probably need
to be treated for fire ants.
Even areas around vegetable gardens/fields and
fruit
orchards/plantings
may need to be managed
for fire ant control. Many
growers who have “pick
your own” farms, such as
strawberry, blueberry, muscadine, blackberry, and
some vegetables, may treat
to keep their customers or
employees picking.
According to Commercial Horticulture Regional Extension Agent Dr.
Chip East, many products
for broadcast and mound
treatment can be used on
some sites such as lawn
areas, but only a few products are labeled for fruit
and vegetable production
areas. He likes using broadcast baits because we can
treat a large site without
searching for individual
mounds;
additionally,
broadcast baits are cheaper.
Read the label of bait products to find out the different
sites to which the products
can be applied.
Extinguish
Professional Fire Ant Bait (Smethoprene) is labeled for
fruits and vegetables; Fertilome Come and Get It, Payback Fire Ant Bait, and
various other trade names
(Spinosad) are labeled for
fruits and vegetables; Esteem Ant Bait (Pyriproxyfen) is labeled for select
vegetables, and tree or vine
fruits (refer to the label for
specifics); Altrevin Fire Ant
Bait Insecticide (metaflumizone) can be used on
grape vineyards, citrus and
nut trees, and non-bearing
stone and pome fruit trees.
Clinch (abamectin) is labeled for vegetables, citrus,
nuts, apples, grapes, stone
fruit, strawberry, and pear.
Some of these products are
only sold in 25 pound containers and would not be
needed unless treating large
acreage.
Contact your local Extension office and we can
help you decide on the
treatment that is best for
your site. Fire ants travel as
far as needed for food. It is
possible to treat the lawn
that is around, but not in,
the garden or orchard site
with a product labeled for
lawns and still kill manage
the ants in the adjacent site.
Extension Entomologist Dr. Kathy Flanders visited many retail stores, farm
supply stores, and nurseries
across the state and noted
the fire ant management
products available on the
shelf. The list of the products available can be found
in our Extension publication ANR0175A and is titled “2016 Fire Ant Control
Materials for Alabama
Homeowners”. It can be
found by typing “fire ant
control materials” into the
search box on our web site
at www.aces.edu or by typing
in
http://www.aces.edu/pubs/d
ocs/A/ANR-0175-A/ANR0175-A.pdf in any search
engine. This publication
also lists the approximate
cost per acre of the different
baits, cost per acre of residual insecticides designed to
be spread, and the cost per
ten mounds for individual
mound treatments.
Follow the directions
on the label when using a
fire ant bait or any other
pesticide. These baits need
to be kept in a cool dry
place; they need to be used
quickly when opened. Only
purchase the amount
needed and do not try to
keep the bait for use
months later. The baits use
an oil to attract the ants; the
oil goes bad if kept too long
or not stored properly. The
baits need to be applied
when the ants are actively

foraging. This means the
baits need to be applied
when temperatures are between 60 and 80oF. Do not
apply the bait just before or
after a rain or before or
after disturbing the mound
(such as mowing grass).
The baits are only good for
a short period of time after
the application, so conditions need to be right. All of
this is explained on the
label.
A trick to help you
know when to apply the
bait is to put some greasy
potato chips around the site.
Wait a few minutes and
check the chips; if ants
have covered them up then
that would be a good time
to apply the bait. If not, the
application may need to be
postponed to a later time.
My favorite season to apply
fire ant bait is spring and
fall, but it depends on the
site. Many of the baits
should be applied at one
pound to one and a half
pounds per acre. On a small
scale (such as two acres or
less) you can use a handheld spreader to apply the
bait. On a larger scale, we
have fire ant bait spreaders
in many Extension offices
around the state that hook
up to ATVs, tractors, and
trucks that the client can
borrow to spread bait. If
you are interested in any
Extension topics or programs, just give us a call
here at the Chambers Extension office (334) 8649373.

Mikes’s Musings
Now I know what love is
By Mike Wilcox, Publisher
Last weekend I met
Alvin for the first time. My
wife and I had moved in to
a new home and Alvin happens to be one of our neighbors. We got to talking, as
neighbors do, Sunday afternoon, and I walked away
truly amazed.
We had seen Alvin
working in his yard and on
his pontoon boat. He had
two big boxer dogs and didn’t seem at all friendly. He
is one of those guys that
never waved and gave you
a gruff retort if you were to
say “hi” or “have a nice
day.”
What we didn’t know
as we began to have a conversation, was that Alvin
had a wife. Even though
Alvin was highly visible in
his yard, and the two boxers were always patrolling
his yard, there was never
any sign of his wife.
And for good reason.
Alvin’s wife was victimized by a terrible stroke
fourteen years ago. She
can’t walk, can’t talk and is
totally dependent on Alvin
for the simplest of tasks including using the bathroom, shower or brushing
her teeth. It would be a sad
situation indeed, except
Alvin and his wife have
managed this existence for
fourteen years, and pray to
God each day that they can
have another fourteen years
together.
If this isn’t love, I
don’t know what is. Alvin
with the gruff exterior,
spending day in and day
out, taking care of his invalid wife, and having done
it for fourteen years. And
he’s happy to do it. He says
he gets no greater joy than
to see the smile on her face
when she awakens every
morning. He says she is
happiest when he wheels
her out to the boat dock and
carefully slides her on the
pontoon, and they take a
slow spin around the lake.
He’s not the first husband I’ve seen do this. My
father took care of my
mother, who had been
stricken with dementia. Unbeknownst to my four siblings and I, my mother was
slowly deteriorating from
that horrible disease known
as Alzheimer’s that robs
you of your memory. My
parents lived in Florida,
away from their children,
and my dad did everything
he could to shield mom’s
condition from us. He
wanted us to remember her
as she was 5 or 10 or 20
years ago.
We found out much
later, than he had been taking care of every aspect of
her life for at least four or
five years- feeding her,
changing her Depends, and
showering her. He gave up
his daily golf game cold
turkey so that he could be
with her 24-7. Until he
died, he was there for her in
total- an amazing act of
selflessness by an amazing
man.
If this isn’t love, I
don’t know what is. My
dad was my hero long before it was revealed that he
was my mom’s 24-7 care-
giver. But when this was revealed it solidified his greatness
in my eyes. To some extent I
see that same greatness in
Alvin. It takes one heckuva
person to do what he does, and
to have done it for fourteen
years. He could have easily admitted his wife to an assisted
living home. But he didn’t and
both his wife and he cherish
every moment they have together.
If this isn’t love, I don’t
know what is. God bless my father in heaven and thank you
Dear Lord we arranging this
meeting with Alvin. I am a
much better person because
of it.
your door, and tells you that
his crew is working in the
area and about to finish a
job with some materials to
spare. He offers to give you
a deal because it will save
him time and you money.
No contract, no fuss. You
agree to hire him and pay a
deposit. Then he and his
imaginary crew, along with
your dough, are gone with
the wind.
Keep your Summer
scam-free. Don't wire
money to strangers. Be
skeptical about giving out
personal information. Carefully check your receipts
and statements. As soon as
you get home, reconcile
your credit card and banking statements with your receipts. And above all, if a
deal sounds too good to be
true, it probably is.
Recovering fraudulent
charges on a debit or credit
card is time consuming and
nearly impossible.
A worry-free vacation
By Paul Richardson
Everybody loves summertime, especially scam artists
who prey on unsuspecting
vacationers. Don’t be a victim. Watch out for these
tricks and scams.
*The front desk scam. After
hours of traveling, all you
want to do is check in and
get settled. Then someone
claiming to be from the
front desk calls and says
your credit card has been
declined. They ask for your
account number to verify
the card. When you get
your statement next month,
you have been charged
twice (or more).
*The take out scam. A
restaurant flyer is by the
phone and you are starving,
so delivery sounds good.
But the food never comes.
While you are calling and
inquiring about your order,
your card is being maxed
out.
*The summer rental scam.
It sounds like a perfect op-
portunity to relax and kickback, a spacious home for
rent by the month or week,
complete with on-line photos. You prepay for a week,
but when you arrive the
homeowner has no idea
who you are or why you are
there. Bye-bye money.
*The summer job scam.
You apply for a summer job
and your prospective employer informs you that
you're hired, but before
they can make a formal
offer they have to do a
background check. Sounds
logical, right? So, you provide your information, including
your
Social
Security number, but never
hear back about the job.
The reason, your identity
has been stolen.
* The Home Maintenance
Scam. Everyone has a list
of home repairs that needs
to get done before winter
rolls around. What luck
when a guy shows up at
A Good Nights’ Sleep
By Jody Fuller
I haven’t slept well for
years. Sometimes it takes
hours to fall asleep and
when I do sleep, it’s not
good sleep. If I hear anything out of the norm, I’m
on high alert for the rest of
the night.
It wasn’t always like
this. One night, just a few
years ago, I slept at a
friend’s house, and the next
morning was told about the
neighbors’ house burning
down over night. The
neighbors came over to the
house I was staying at to
call 911. Later, in the wee
hours of the morning, the
house was full of people,
including police officers
and firemen, and I slept
right through it all.
Back in February, my
doctor at the VA prescribed
a sleep study for me. Because only certain places
work with the VA Health
Net program, I had to go
out of town to have the
study conducted. When I
set up the appointment,
they asked if distance was
a factor, and I told them
that it wasn’t. When I got
the notification in the mail,
my appointment was in
Montgomery—Montgomery, Maryland. Distance turned out to be a
factor. It was a simple mistake and was easily corrected.
I finally had it done on
May 24 at Jackson Hospital in Montgomery—Mont-
gomery, Alabama. The
young lady taking care of
me was fantastic and professional in every way, but
I was a bit nervous. My
blood pressure usually
hovers around 120/80 but
when I got there it was
152/122. I’ve been blessed
with pretty good health
over my lifetime, as evident by this being the first
night I’d ever spent in a
hospital, but I was uncertain of the outcome, which
had me a bit on edge.
She hooked me up to
all kinds of wires like a cyborg and puts globs of goo
in my hair and then started
hooking up little jumper
cables to places all over my
body—to some places I
couldn’t neither see nor
reach. I thought that was
bad enough but then I had
to go to the bathroom. I had
visions of electrocution. It
was not a pretty sight.
Just before lights out,
she taped stuff to my face
and shoved some more
tubes up my nose. Comfort
was not in my future.
In my mind, I didn’t
sleep worth a toot, and
when she woke me the next
morning, I was wide
awake.
“How do you think
you slept?” she asked.
“Not very well at all,”
I replied. “I was up all
night. I didn’t want to get
up to use the bathroom, and
I’m not used to sleeping on
my back.”
“Well, we start grading
sleep apnea at 5 and it can
go to, well, whatever. We
had you at 2.5, and you
were asleep 93% of the
time,” she said. “That’s
amazing! You’re in great
health.”
And, I really did feel
good, and I have been
sleeping better. Three days
before the doctor prescribed the study, I decided
to cut down on my drinking and haven’t had a drink
since, not that I’ve quit.
I’ve also lost 22 pounds
since the beginning of the
year. There’s no doubt
those two factors are contributing to my better
sleeping habits.
Perhaps the key is to
cover my body in wires
and goo each night. Who
knows? It’s worth a shot. It
also didn’t hurt that I didn’t
have to battle for space on
the bed with my dog and
cat. It is their bed, after all;
they just let me sleep there,
and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

Budget was the largest since
2008. It included increases
for transportation, classroom
supplies and a four percent
raise for teachers. The
Budget also provided full
funding for Education Employees Health Insurance
(PEEHIP). However, that increase was offset by the
PEEHIP Board voting to increase the cost of individual
plans from $15-$30 a month
and family plans from $177
to $207 a month.
There were hints by the
Governor that a Special Session may be called for late
summer to address the Medicaid problem and his prison
bond issue. However, with
clouds hovering over the
Governor and Speaker of the
House, the spectacle of a
Special Session is doubtful.
See you next week.
Inside The Statehouse
By Steve Flowers
Sometimes the best
thing that the legislature can
do in a session is to pass very
little legislation. That can be
said of this year’s regular
legislative session, which
ended several weeks ago.
Not many bills made it
through the legislative
labyrinth.
Gov. Robert Bentley
made a proposed $800 million prison construction
bond issue the cornerstone
of his legislative agenda. It
failed but not surprising
given Bentley’s irrelevance
in the legislative process.
The surprising aspect is that
the proposal got any traction
at all. It came close to passing even though it looked
like something that Gerald
Wallace would dream up.
Bentley’s prison proposal called for borrowing
$800 million in a bond issue
with no concrete way to pay
back the debt from a disastrously broke General Fund
budget. It was a total secret
as to where the four prisons
were going to be built. I am
sure this resonated well with
senators and representatives
who have prisons in their
district or close by. Those
prisons in places like Escambia, St. Clair, Elmore
and Barbour, to name a few,
are the largest employers in
those counties.
There are also serious
questions about the design
method proposed for the
men’s prisons that would
have allowed a single architectural firm to get the contract for all three mega
men’s prisons. In addition,
one general contractor was
going to get the contract for
all four prisons. One bonding firm was going to get the
deal to float the bonds. It
sounds to me like some folks
were going to get rich on this
deal. Legislators were asked
to buy a pig in a poke.
Legislators did pass
both budgets. In fact, they
passed them early in the session. Since passing the
budgets is the only constitu-
tional mandate for a session,
I would give this session a
C+. However, since they
killed some bad legislation,
I might rate the session a B. Then again, their failure to
vote to allow their constituents the opportunity to
vote on a lottery may drop
them back to a C.
It is beyond comprehension how a legislator
could not vote to let their
people vote on keeping their
money in state. Alabamians
buy lottery tickets. They just
drive to Georgia, Florida and
Tennessee to get them. Thus,
giving our money to these
states. It is as though they are
saying, here Florida, we are
so rich you can have some of
our money.
They chose instead to
cut the Medicaid budget,
which will force cuts to services like adult’s and children’s
pharmacy
and
outpatient dialysis. It will
also lead to cuts in payments
to physicians. Medicaid undergirds Alabama’s entire
healthcare delivery system.
More than half the births in
the state and 47 percent of
the children, as well as 60
percent of Alabama’s nursing home residents are covered by Medicaid. Bentley
had repeatedly asked for
more money for Medicaid
but the legislature ignored
his pleas.
The governor was on
the sidelines on a proposed
gas tax increase for roads
and bridges in the state. This
proposal never really got off
the ground. It appears that
the road builders and certain
mayors have very little influence in the legislature.
Even though the legislature passed a barebones
General Fund budget, which
cuts state services and state
employees’ take home pay
again, the Special Education
Budget was another story.
With the upturn in the economy the Education coffers
are flush.

Profiling Bill Gilbert
By Charlotte Blasingame
When I was asked to
spotlight this week's profile
my first impression was
who is this guy named Bill
Gilbert?
He was born in 1938
to Roy ( Dutch) and Ozelean Gilbert in Langdale
Alabama. In 1980 Valley
Alabama was formed when
the cities of Fairfax, Shawmut Riverview and Langdale were combined.
After graduating from
Valley High School with
192 other classmates he
went into the auto parts
business with his father for
ten years.
Mr. Gilbert states he
had always been interested
in politics so, when the Tax
Assessor ( Jim Darden)
died unexpectedly in 1966.
Seven names were on the
ballot and as fate would
have it he was elected and
began his term in October
1967.
When election time
came around again in 1972
, Bill would beat out 3 opponents. For the following
4 terms he was fortunate to
not have any opposition.
In 1992 Chambers
County combined the position of Tax Assessor and
Tax Collector to one position called Revenue Commissioner. Mr. Gilbert ran
for the position and won
which he held until he retired in 1998.
While in office Mr.
Gilbert had the opportunity
to be involved with the first
State appraisal and revalued all the counties in the
state. He also stated how
wonderful it is to have
friends made through his
years in office and attributes his staff for the many
years of their untiring dedication to jobs well done.
Since retiring, in 1994
he started his own company, Langdale Company
promoting quality entertainment at the Historic
Langdale Theatre in Valley.
He has promoted a
total of 83 concerts including Bill Anderson, Ray
Price, The Drifters, Big
Bands like Tommy Dorsey,
Glenn Miller, Dixie Land,
Jazz Bands, Rock and Roll
like The Coaster, Platters,
and The Drifters to name a
few as well as The All
American Boys Chorus
from Costa Mesa, California who has performed 5
times at the Theatre. Also
Tributes to The Beatles,
John Denver and one coming soon that is too early to
announce.
One thing Bill really
enjoys is traveling. Since
1984 you might find it interesting that he has been to
Europe 41 times yes, I said
41 times. Amazing!! He
has made friends in Germany, Poland and Hungary.

Bill Gilbert
He has 7 families he loves
to spend time with when he
is traveling abroad. They in
turn have enjoyed visiting
him in Valley.
When asked which
country stood out in his
mind he says the most interesting place he has visited was the American
Cemetery in Normandy.
9,783 are buried there and
1600 were sent back to
America for burial here on
D Day. France turned the
Cemetery over to the
United States in 1977
which Bill says he is proud
to say that it is very well
kept up.
A funny thing he
shared was a friend who
had a sister in Croatia was
opening a bar and wanted
to decorate a wall with old
newspapers so, Bill de-
cided to take her some old
Valley newspapers to help
with the decor.
In his spare time Bill
meets at Shawmut United
Methodist Church with The
Bob Harding Prayer group
every Tuesday morning at
7:30am. He also attends
Bobby's Backyard prayer
Group at 11am on Tuesday.
His past accomplishments are member of Valley Jaycees, 41 years Lions
Club, promoting a tour
consisting of 169 teenagers
patriotic group, part of "
Up with People". Sing out
Valley." Tours included
opening at Talledega
Speedway where they met
Bill France founder of
NASCAR.
This is one guy who
really is enjoying retirement and life to the fullest.
Another month has
come to a close and a new
one has rolled in. April
ushered May in on a good
note as Chambers County
reported some of its lowest unemployment rates of
the year falling well
below the state average.
As the Alabama
Department of Labor released its April report for
statewide unemployment
it showed the state as a
whole reporting an unemployment rate of 6.1%
that was down from the
previous months unemployment rate of 6.2%
Chambers County’s unemployment
number
found themselves almost
a full percentage below
the state average at 5.2%
for the month of April.
The unemployment rate of 5.2% in April
was a significant drop
over the previous month
when the county’s unemployment rate was reported at 5.8%. Chambers
County’s numbers found
themselves more in tune
with national averages
rather than statewide averages. In the month of
April the national unem-
ployment rate was 5.0%
which remained steady
from the previous month.
In the month of
April Chambers County
reported having 15,012
people actively employed
in its workforce countywide. Of that only 779
people in the County are
reported to be unemployed. That was 97 fewer
people unemployed in the
County from the previous
month when there were
876 people reported as
unemployed for that
month.
The lowest unemployment rate in the
state was reported in
Shelby County just south
of Birmingham where the
unemployment rate for
April was listed as 4.0%.
Alabama’s highest unemployment rate was in
Wilcox County located
southwest of Montgomery. Wilcox County
reported an April unemployment rate of 12.8%
which was down from
March reports in which
13.8% of the counties
work eligible residents
were unemployed. Locally Lee County has the
lowest April unemployment numbers coming in
at 4.7%.

Coach Matt Smith Teaches The
Game (and English) From The Heart
By Donnell Suggs
Twitter: @lsunnews
lafayettesun.com/sports
With the 2016 season
behind him, Chambers
Academy baseball coach
Matt Smith is getting ready
to spend the summer with
his wife and two-year old
son Carson. “I’m looking
forward to spending the
summer with the family,”
says Smith. Carson likes to
play t-ball in the backyard.”
Forever the coach, Smith
has spent the past three
years as the head coach of
the Rebels baseball program
-along with a season in
charge of the Lady Rebels
softball program before current head coach Brandi
Fuller began her tenure- in
addition to his work as the
defensive coordinator for
the Rebel football team.
Along with tossing pitches
to Carson, Smith and Chambers Academy head football
coach and Athletic Director
Jason Allen will be hosting
7 on 7 football summer
workouts on campus.
Smith’s passion for coaching comes from a more personal place, “It’s about more
than X’s and O’s,” says
Smith.
A 2004 graduate of
Chambers Academy, Smith
played baseball, basketball
and football for Allen while
in high school before play-
CA baseball head coach and defensive coordinator Matt Smith calls a play during a
Rebels football game this past season.
ing a season of college football at Huntingdon College
in Montgomery. The former
three-sport athlete had a
hard time adjusting to not
playing as much in college
as he did at Chambers but
that didn’t stop him from
completing his undergraduate degree. The importance
of a good education has
never been lost on Smith
who now teaches 8-12 grade
English at Chambers Academy. “I love watching the
kids grow and mature in
both athletics and academics,” says Smith. “Anytime
we get to learn more about
our culture and society is a
good thing.” Having enjoyed the same lessons as a
Chambers Academy student, Smith was practically
destined to be a teacher and
coach. His advice to others
that are looking to get into
either profession is both
simple and inspiring. “Do it
for the kids,” he says. “Do it
because you want to help
kids grow.”
Smith’s relationship
with Allen started as coachplayer and now continues as
colleagues. “I have learned
a lot from coach Allen, he
has been a mentor to me
about teaching the kids to be
accountable.” That sense of
accountability has been put
to the test as the baseball
team had a hard time winning with a young team. “I
was proud of the guys,”
Smith says, “we struggled
early on but they really
fought the last few weeks.”
The Rebels would fail to
win a game during the postseason but just like his favorite books The Great
Gatsby and The Hunger
Games series, the main
characters in those stories
persevere through trials and
tribulations. “Those [stories]
are neck and neck in my
book, after I read the first
Hunger Games book I had
to finish the series,” says
Smith.
The future of the baseball and football programs at
Chambers Academy will
continue to be in good hands
because of coaches like
Smith who never seem to
have an off-season. Now on
to that backyard hitting lesson courtesy of Carson. A
coach and teacher’s job is
never done.
LaFayette native Jared Washington gives
back to his hometown with Camp 41
By Donnell Suggs
Twitter: @lsunnews
lafayettesun.com/sports
The first annual Camp
41 football camp took place
on Saturday at Bulldog Stadium on the campus of
LaFayette High School.
Hosted by LaFayette native
and former University of
West Alabama All-American
defensive tackle Jared Washington, the camp was a successful combination of
giving back and a dream and
goal realized. Along with
Washington, area natives
Chris Carlise, Desmond
Holloway, Devon Mackey,
Qua Boyd and Joe Vines assisted in helping the attendees work on their skills and
techniques. The kids who attended the 2-3 hour camp received a Camp 41 t-shirt and
lunch.
Washington spent his
freshman year of high school
at LaFayette High before
transferring to Lanett High
School due to disciplinary
reasons. Washington would
turn both his life and football
career around with the help
of his cousin Tamala
Colquitt, her family and the
coaching staff at Lanett High
School before moving on to
play two successful seasons
at Coahoma Community
College in Clarksdale, Mississippi. His play earned him
a scholarship offer from the
University of West Alabama
in Livingston and that’s
where started ticking off
goals from his list. “I wrote
a list of goals that I wanted
to accomplish and I got
started on them as soon as I
could,” said Washington by
phone on Memorial Day.
The list was short but far
from simple: 1-Graduate
from college, 2-Make the
Division II All-American
team, 3-Play in the Canadian
Football League, 4-Give
back to his hometown and
surrounding community.
Washington graduated this
spring -check- and Camp
41’s recent success -check
two- has his list down to
halfway done. “I love giving
back to my community, it
was one of my biggest
goals,” he says.
During breaks in the action, Washington and his
team of camp counselors
took time to do more than
just talk X’s and O’s with the
kids. “We talked to the kids
about education being the
key to success and the importance in respecting their
parents,
teachers
and
coaches,” says Washington.
Washington
hopes
much more than football
sticks with the kids, “I want
them to know that if I can
make it out a small town
then they can too.” The same
can be said for having a
school-related setback or academic issue or any other
issue that a young person
may encounter. Your present
is not always a true indicator
of your future. Jared Washington can be proof of that.
Currently recuperating
from surgery for a sports
hernia, Washington is
milling an offer from the
Saskatchewan Roughriders
of the Canadian Football
League. “I’ve been in
touch with the team, first I
have to recover from surgery,” says Washington.
“It’s a day to day process
and I am looking forward
to playing in Canada.” The
C.F.L. regular season starts
on June 23 with the preseason starting on June 8. If
Jared Washington has
showed us anything, it’s a
safe bet to know he’s going
to keep checking off goals
off his list.
What’s On My Mind
City of LaFayette's sons and daughters
keep giving back
By Donnell Suggs
Sports Editor
Twitter and Instagram: @suggswriter
Being from a big city like Brooklyn, New York and
having spent the last decade living in Atlanta, I didn’t understand the dynamics of a small town when I started covering sports (and people) in LaFayette. The one
characteristic I quickly noticed was how LaFayette natives
are quick to give back to their hometown.
This past weekend LaFayette native Jared Washington
hosted a football camp at LaFayette High School for area
youth. The number of kids that attended, how many members of the media that attended (Read my story on Camp
41 and Washington’s journey in these pages) and how
much the camp cost to put on doesn’t matter. What matters
the most is that another LaFayette native might have
moved on to have a successful college football career and
hopefully will do the same as a professional but did not
forget where he came from. With Memorial Day having
just passed by the time you read this, I wanted this week’s
LaFayette Sun sports section to be about people giving
back like Chambers Academy baseball coach Matt Smith.
Smith played his high school sports (baseball, basketball
and football) at Chambers Academy in LaFayette and
Washington spent his freshman year of high school playing
for the Bulldogs.
These guys are from here and no matter what they did
after they left town they still managed to come back and
give back. “Jared has been an awesome inspiration to this
city, surrounding communities and to my boys,” said
LaFayette native Tamala C. Colquitt. “Regardless if he
plays football or continues aspiring to obtain a post-secondary degree, he will do great things.”
Former LaFayette Bulldog and University of Alabama
at Birmingham guard Mo Finley recently hosted an alumni
basketball event at his alma mater. Just another example of
a former professional ball player never forgetting where he
came from and who helped him get there. This city keeps
on impressing me with how deep their roots stretch.
“It’s always good for the community as a whole to see
that people are giving back,” says LaFayette High School
head football coach and Athletic Director James Lucas.
Memorial Day is about remembering those that gave
their lives for this country in the service, we can also use
that very special holiday for giving back to our respective
communities like Washington and Smith and many, many
others before them and after them.

Think there is no
money in recyclables?
Thinkagain.
A grand jury in Kern
County indicted five Californians on charges of
grand theft and recycling
fraud.
The five were part of a
massive scheme that involved trucking more than
200 million empty cans
and bottles from Arizona
and illegally redeeming
them at recycling centers
in California.
Sounds insignificant
at first, but authorities say
more than $14 million was
paid out illegally.
More than a dozen
private recycling centers in
Southern California also
were implicated in the
scheme because they accepted the Arizona cans
and bottles without question.
Recyclable containers
sold in California (and
many other states) include
a 5- or 10-cent deposit
charge, depending on their

Long Distance Praying
By Roger Campbell
The letter on my desk carried an urgent message. The sender, Major Louis Best, began his long distance message to me for three reasons: to thank me for my column
of that week, which he had read in a newspaper sent to him by a school near his home, to tell me how he had been brought to faith in Christ years earlier while fighting a
forest fire in the state of Washington and to ask me to pray for him and other military men who served in dangerous places.
This man of faith was especially concerned about the spiritual needs of those, like him, who might be called upon to lay their lives on the line in battle. While we had
never met, he felt free to share his long distance concerns with me and ask for prayer, believing the miles between us wouldn’t matter to the One who hears prayer since
He holds the whole world in His hands.
The long distance phone call I received from a minister was to ask for prayer regarding a different kind of battle, a spiritual war that was being waged in his church.
I’ve received many requests from ministers for prayer but this cry for help was different. When pastors call asking for prayer they are usually under fire from problem
prone people in their congregations, but this preacher had concluded he was the problem.
“I’ve been watching what’s been happening in my church and see that I’m the reason for it,” he said, adding “Pray that I will be revived.”
“You’re halfway there,” I replied.
The moment we face up to our faults and start doing something about them, we are on
our way to greater effectiveness. This minister was determined to remove any roadblocks to spiritual renewal in his church by enlisting some long distance praying
for the needed breakthrough in his church to begin in him.
The late world known evangelist, Dwight L. Moody, once said he faced his worst enemy each morning while shaving. He didn’t mean he hated his image in the
mirror, but in confronting his weaknesses early and overcoming them before they spoiled his day he increased his potential to make a difference in the lives of others and
the world.
“Perilous times will come,” wrote Paul to a young minister (2 Timothy 3:1). And with the rise of worldwide terrorism it’s easy to see why many students of Bible
prophecy see present perils as fulfillments of Paul’s prediction. Current conditions incubate fear about what’s ahead, but it’s important to remember that nothing takes
God by surprise and prayer changes things.
Political solutions fail but prayer prevails.
Those who choose to major on prayer choose best.
Let communities be challenged and comforted by the possibilities of prayer and churches be packed with praying people; then the Biblical promise for periods of peril
will produce personal peace: “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will
hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).

As you may have
seen, the House of Representatives just passed the
National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of
2017.
This is the 55th consecutive NDAA, legislation
that
authorizes
funding for the Department of Defense and ensures that Congress fulfills
its constitutional duty to
make sure that our
warfighters have the training and equipment that
they need.
In addition to setting
the priorities for our na-
tional defense, this legislation also has language that
could be important to folks
across East Alabama.
For example, an
amendment was included
that would help installations like the Anniston
Army Depot in Calhoun
County retain a skilled and
knowledgeable workforce.
The
amendment
would make it easier for
the Depot to hire temporary and term employees
for permanent positions as
they became available.
This authority will
allow the Depot to be as
agile and nimble as possible in their support of the
Army as they confront the
ever changing security
threats from ISIS to Russia.
Another example of
how the legislation could
impact East Alabama is by
forcing the Secretary of
the Army to transfer its
surplus vintage firearms to
the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP).
From there the CMP
would take these vintage
pistols and inspect, grade
and prepare them for sale.
If this sounds familiar
it’s because last year in the
same bill we ask that the
Army turn over the pistols.
Unfortunately, in what has
become an all too common
occurrence, the Obama
Administration has chosen
not to follow directives
that Congress passes.
With the language included in this year’s House
bill the Army will have no
choice but to turn over the
pistols to the CMP.
The NDAA also included full funding of the
missile defense request of
our great allies in Israel for
co-development and co-
production of Iron Dome,
David’s Sling and Arrow
3.
This funding is even
more important now with
Iran developing its missile
technology at an alarming
rate as a result of the President’s ill-conceived deal.
This legislation will
help fund our brave men
and women in uniform,
keep our country safe from
harm and will include
these common sense solutions. I am pleased to have
worked on this important
legislation.
I want to hear from
you on this or any issue.

Just So You’ll Know
By Paul Richardson
Everyone has their own
idea of a perfect vacation.
For a New Zealand man
identified only as Ryan, it
was a long anticipated
kayak trip. But his vacation
soon turned into a nightmare.
He was trapped on a deserted island two and a half
miles off the coast of Western Australia by a hungry,
ill tempered crocodile.
The animal, said to be nature’s perfect killing machine, with big teeth, a
large appetite, and a bad attitude, will attack anything,
no matter the size.
This is evident by the
sheer number of Alligator
and Crocodile attacks that
occur each year. Sharks kill
or maul up to 15 people
every year. Hippos (on average) kill 200, elephants
kill 250, bees account for
1,250 deaths, whereas crocodiles kill 2,500 people
every year. Most deaths
occur in India and Africa
with Australia being far
down the list.
What is so ironic is that
the Crocodile population
was nearly wiped out in
Australia in the first half of
the 20th century. Records
show that in just one ten
year period, more than 88
thousand skins were exported.
But once granted protection in 1973, they made a
remarkable
comeback.
Easy to understand why
when Zoologists say Crocs
and Gators have been here
more than 200 million
years.
Just two weeks before
Ryan was marooned, an
eleven year old girl was
killed on the North coast
and three months before
that, a 26 year old male
swimmer was snatched
from the Mary River near
the same area. The river
was clearly marked with
danger signs, but the man
ignored each one.
A 16 foot long animal believed to be the one respon-
sible for the man’s death
was killed by authorities
three days later.
As for Ryan, he stated as
he was paddling along, he
noticed the big beast stalking him from behind. He
quickly put in on an island
to avoid being eaten. And
every time he tried to leave,
the big croc blocked his
route.
Ryan said one time he
made it more than 100 meters out to sea before the
hungry beast surfaced in
front of his kayak.
After two full weeks, a
fisherman saw a fire and
came to investigate. He
found Ryan, scared, hungry, thirsty, and dehydrated,
but otherwise no worse for
wear.
The fisherman told authorities he was aware of a
twenty foot croc near the island. And now the hunt is
on.
A Croc that size would be
close to a record.

The Alabama Cooperative Extension System is
hosting a workshop to enhance the safety of locally
grown produce. Chambers
Extension will conduct a
Produce Growers Food
Safety Workshop on Monday, June 13th, 2016 from
3:00 PM to 5:00 PM EDT
at the Valley Sportsplex
(130 Sportsplex Drive).
The workshop will include
helpful information on harvesting & storage, water
use, manure utilization,
transportation, and marketing. Attendees can learn
how to protect their business from liability, keep locally grown produce safe,
and receive a Produce
Growers Food Safety certificate upon completion.
To sign up for the workshop, contact Food Safety
and Quality Regional Extension Agent Patti West at
334-844-8090 or westpat@auburn.edu .
While the majority of
growers already incorporate safe production prac-
tices into their everyday
routine, occurrences similar
to the 2006-2007 E. coli in
spinach outbreak continue
to occur. The food safety
certification will focus on
items that benefit both
growers and consumers.
Some of the items to be discussed include:
Health and hygiene Sick employees should not
come in contact with produce. Toilet facilities with
hand washing stations
should be provided for
workers. Likewise, consumers should take care to
wash hands before handling
produce, especially when it
will be eaten without cooking.
Safe water – Water
used for irrigation should
be safe with low levels of
bacteria (i.e. well water).
Water used by the processor to wash produce should
be potable. At home, consumers should wash produce in potable water
before using it in a salad or
preparing for a meal.
Animals - If animals
are allowed to graze in
areas intended for produce
growing, the waiting period
specified for application of
raw manure (9 months)
would apply. It is impossible to keep all wild animals
away from produce fields.
However, attracting them to
the area by feeding wild
birds or deer should be
avoided.
Equipment - Equipment and tools need to be
kept reasonably clean. Containers, tools, and equipment that will contact
produce should be cleaned
and sanitized between uses.
The same concept applies
to the home kitchen. Clean
cutting boards, knives, and
other tools should be used
to prepare fruits and vegetables. Cooks should be
particularly careful not to
let produce come into contact with raw meat or meat
juices.
Farmers Market – Produce for sale at Farmers’
Markets should be stored in
clean and sanitized containers. Samples should be
held on ice to prevent bacterial growth.
Produce
should be kept off the
ground and animals should
not be allowed in the area.
Consumers should not
touch produce unnecessar-
ily. Doing so can increase
contamination and bruising
of the produce.
If you are growing
food for your family or
growing for sale at a Market, the Enhancing the
Safety of Locally Grown
Produce workshop is a
great opportunity to discuss
realistic ways for small produce growers to implement
food safety standards and protect business from the liability
associated with foodborne illness. Call your Chambers
County Extension Office at
334-864-9373 with questions.
