Coffee County District Attorney Gary McAliley says he and investigators are still working to pinpoint a motive for last week’s mass murders in Samson, but he believes the evidence will show that 28-year-old Michael McLen-

don planned his reign of ter-ror.

“We believe the evi-dence shows that McLendon has been planning this a long time,” McAliley said Monday as he and investigators continued to sort through evidence col-lected in McLendon’s Kinston home.

Among the evidence inves-tigators are searching through are 39 gun-related DVDs.

The videos include infor-mational guides on how to shoot into and from moving vehicles, the use of “combat shotguns,” and documentaries on how certain types of bullets penetrate the human body.

An informational DVD was also found on how to cre-ate a silencer for a gun, though officers do not believe a silenc-er was used during the March 10 murders.

On the morning of March 10, Jimmy Ward told his 5-year-old grandson, Aiden Smith, that he better grab

life and live it to the fullest.Several hours after giving that advice, he

was covering Aiden with his body, trying to shield the child from a spray of bullets ricochet-ing across Samson’s Main Street.

Ward and his grandson were parked beside Bradley’s True Value Hardware store when a red Mitsubishi Eclipse came driving toward them. They were stepping out of their truck when they saw Michael McLendon roll down his window, smile and pull out a gun.

“I ran and got him (Aiden) down behind the truck,” Ward said, remembering how bullets sounded like they were flying around them.

“Pa Pa, that was a bad man with a machine gun,” Aiden said as McLendon drove past and continued on his killing spree.

As grandson and grandfather ran for cover to the nearby store, they didn’t realize they had just encountered a man who had killed nine people and would soon kill another, and himself.

McLendon began his murder spree by killing his mother, Lisa McLendon, and her four dogs in the Kinston home they shared.

Tommy Johnson Jr. was named last Thursday night as Man of the Year, Suzanne Saw-yer Woman of the Year and Enterprise High School senior Daniel Connors Youth of the Year for outstanding service to the community in 2008.

The annual Civic Night Reception, sponsored for 53 years by the Pilot Club of Enterprise, also bestowed a special honor on the late Joan Lewis. The longtime Pilot Club member, who died July 31, 2008, was named the Enter-prise Woman of the Year in perpetuity.

Pilot Club of Enterprise President Sandra Everhart explained that although the spirit of service that Lewis demonstrated was deserving of Woman of the Year honors at any time through the years, she was never eligible to be nominated because Pilot Club members may not receive the award.

Everhart and Rachel Showalter described Lewis’ generosity to family, friends and strangers, and her dedi-cated work with the Pilot Club and other civic organizations, such as the United Way and Girl Scouts.

“Joan was well-known for her willingness to jump in

with both feet to help others. Joan’s many talents and giving spirit is sorely missed,” said Showalter, noting that Lewis had served several terms as club president and would have served again this year.

Phyllis Talmadge, long-time friend of the Lewis fam-ily and former Woman of the Year, helped to present the award, saying Lewis lived a life that mattered.

Lewis’ husband Ray, daughters Ginny Lewis Adams and Beth Lewis Moore, and 6-year-old granddaughter Mary Elizabeth Adams accept-ed the award on her behalf.

Representatives from Gov. Bob Riley’s office last week offered some insight into the governor’s task force on illegal gambling and emphasized that gam-bling is not essential to economic growth for Alabama.

Members of the Coffee County Re-publican Committee, along with supporters for County Crossing, gathered Thursday evening in Enterprise to hear what Deputy Legal Advisor Sonny Reagan and the Director of the Governor’s Policy Of-fice Bryan Taylor had to say about the issue.

Supporters of the legalization of elec-tronic bingo halls were on hand to argue the benefits of legal bingo operations, such as jobs.

Reagan empha-sized that the governor has been committed to the Wiregrass by bring-ing in 151 new compa-nies, over 10,000 jobs and about $708 million between 2003 and 2007.

“He did that with-out one casino or any illegal gambling,” said Reagan.

Nominations for the board of directors were made March 3 as several organization leaders and citizens gathered for the first organizational meet-ing of the Recovery Organization of Coffee County.

The group dis-cussed the current board of directors nominations, which include Henry McCall, the representative for Elba; Dennis McWaters for New Brockton; Vio-la Shaffer for Kinston; Jimmy Clark for the unincorporated part of the county; Mindy Collier for the United Way; Elaine Roberts for the Coffee County Red Cross; and Kummel Fleming as the at-large representative.

The steering com-mittee does not cur-rently have a nominee for Enterprise, but discussed locating a nominee with attend-ing Mayor Kenneth Boswell.

The ROCC had already been formed in Enterprise after a devastating tornado ripped an eight-mile swath of destruction through the city March 1, 2007.

Serving members worldwide with Branches in Southeast Alabama, Florida’s Emerald Coast and the Mobile Bay Area

By Carly OmenhiserSun Staff Writer

The Fort Rucker chapter of the Military Officers Association of America celebrated its 50th anniversary and 80th national anniversary with a banquet and speech from the MOAA presi-dent retired Navy Vice Adm. Norbert Ryan.

The Feb. 21 banquet treat-ed about 200 guests at Aviators’ Landing with a night of dinner, dancing and celebration.

Ryan, the keynote speaker, recognized the achievements of Fort Rucker MOAA and expressed his enthusiasm for working each day for the asso-ciation.

“None of us have trouble getting up in the morning and going to work for you, because we think we work for the greatest group in the country. You’re the ones that have made this country what it is,” said Ryan of MOAA members and officials. “We are very proud to represent you, and to fight the battles up in Wash-ington on your behalf and with you.”

Ryan said that contacting local representatives is the secret weapon of the MOAA in getting legislation passed in Washing-ton, including the Wounded Warrior project that supports severely injured soldiers and their families.

“Our membership is so knowledgeable and engaged. That’s why we’ve had the success that we’ve had,” he said.

Ryan also discussed the issues that he has heard from soldiers in the Middle East who want to be able to spend more

time with their families between deployments.

“Now just like us, they want to serve, but they also want to be good family people too and do what is right for their families,” said Ryan. “So we have got to get our Army and our Marine Corps and our ground forces in the Guard and Reserve larger and we shouldn’t be cutting any others. And that’s what we came back and told the Pentagon, the national security advisor and the President, that we’ve got to grow the forces, and they’re growing.”

Ryan added that these forces are still going to have to wage these wars until legislation is approved to increase the pay and special G.I. bills to help the soldiers and their families.

Ryan also presented “Year of the Chapter” coins to several members of MOAA who have made significant contributions to the program and chapter. The recipients were retired Army Lt. Gen. Ellis D. Parker, retired Air Force Col. Glen Dunlap, retired Army Lt. Col. Othan Gilbert, retired Army Lt. Col. Jim Mellish, Lucy Fields, and event chairman and retired Army Col. Joe Rut-kowski and retired Marine Corps Col. Charlie Block.

The Fort Rucker chapter of MOAA has served soldiers and their families since it was chartered in 1959 and currently has around 250 members in the Wiregrass area.

The chapter is involved in several community activities including the “Hole in One” event that donates proceeds to a scholarship fund. The chap-ter also raised donations for the Honor Flight that will take World

War II veterans to the memorial in Washington, D.C., in April.

Block, president of the Fort Rucker chapter, said the program has donated 6,000 books to the Veterans Hospital in Tuskegee.

In 2008, the chapter donat-ed $2,000 to the Outreach pro-gram.

“That’s pretty remarkable for a group of 250 regular and life members,” said Block.

Last year, the Fort Rucker chapter was ranked second best in the country for recruiting, with 299 new members.

With 180 members already recruited in 2009, the chapter is certainly on its way to ranking number one nationally.

Your program could be the very best that we have in the country at the end of this year,” said Ryan.

The MOAA is the country’s largest association of military officers with about 370,000 mem-bers from every branch of mili-tary service, including National Guard, Reserve, retired, former officers and their families.

The MOAA is the leading voice on compensation and ben-efit matters for all members of the military community.

Navy Vice Adm. Norbert Ryan shares his thought with the 200 attending MOAA members.

St. Patrick’s Day Parade & CelebrationThe streets of downtown Enterprise, adorned with green and gold, were once again home to the “World’s Smallest St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Leanne Smith of Enterprise had the honor of being grand marshal for yesterday’s celebration. This is Smith’s first year in the parade. She was chosen following a fundraiser by the Enterprise Chamber of Com-merce. Smith’s employer, Navigator, raised the most money and elected her to represent the company. The chamber’s goal each year is to make sure the parade marches on after longtime grand marshal Pat Donahue passed away several years ago. The tradition has earned the city national media atten-tion and is listed as one of the “fun facts” about Enterprise in a story telling why Enterprise is one of the top places to retire.

An emergency worker quickly got medical attention to the baby, he said.

“She was able to take the baby and clean her off,” Wilker-son explained, adding the work-ers did not know the extent of the baby’s injuries because she was covered in blood.

A nurse from Geneva responded to Samson after hearing of the horrifying events.

The emergency worker quickly gave the baby to the nurse who began advanced life support.

“They got the baby to Geneva. They saved her life,” he said.

Wilkerson also learned how each of the Samson vol-unteers, some even young members, had gone above and beyond the call of duty to help their friends, neighbors and for some, family.

“They hooked heart moni-tors to each of the victims. They made sure there was nothing that could be done,” he said.

Each of the volunteers did so with a handicap. Samson Volunteer Rescue Squad has been working with only two ambulances, one of which was donated to the organization by ERI.

After arriving at the Inland Gas Station to begin checking victims, one of the ambulances became part of the crime scene. It couldn’t be moved from the convenience store for several hours.

The volunteers were using one ambulance to respond to various reports of injuries.

In only moments, though, Wilkerson said ambulances and paramedics from surrounding towns and cities were pouring

By Melissa BraunSun Staff Writer

Samson Volunteer Rescue Squad Captain Chris Wilkerson was working in Enterprise when he heard something had hap-pened in his hometown and people were hurt.

Seconds later, he heard at least eight people were dead.

“I knew I needed to get down there,” Wilkerson said.

Wilkerson was working at Enterprise Rescue Inc. when he learned of the tragedy in Sam-son, where Michael McLendon killed 10 people, including fam-ily members, friends and obvi-ous strangers.

Within seconds, Wilkerson was on an ambulance headed to his home.

“I didn’t know what to expect,” he said. “I wasn’t even sure what happened.”

Wilkerson kept calling fellow rescue workers in an attempt to get updates. He had little luck.

“All I heard was that there was one guy who was able to get an ambulance and head to the scene,” he said.

Though it was only a mat-ter of minutes, Wilkerson said the drive to Samson was filled with great apprehension.

“I didn’t know who had been shot. I didn’t know who was dead. I had no idea what my volunteers were seeing,” he said.

Wilkerson also did not know where his wife was.

“Sue Anne (Wilkerson’s wife) was supposed to be at the doctor’s office in Samson,” he said. “I had heard where the shootings had occurred and I thought she was all right.”

Worry quickly began to creep in, however, when after several attempts Wilkerson could still not reach his wife.

He knew he had a job to

do though. He knew he had to make sure his volunteers were all right.

When the ambulance arrived, however, it was not disorganization or panic that Wilkerson saw on the faces of paramedics and law enforce-ment from surrounding com-munities.

Most of the victims were dead. There was nothing they could do.

In mere moments, though, Wilkerson began hearing stories of heroism.

“I learned quickly that one of the shooting victims, a little baby I learned later was named Ella, was alive,” he recalled.

Ella was on the porch that was the scene of five shooting deaths including her mother and sister.

“I found out a neighbor was able to rescue the baby from the porch,” he said, adding the baby was covered in blood, her mother’s and her own.

Maybe it was just perfect timing or maybe it was a desire to give back to an organization that has given so much to Cof-fee County, but either way, Sean Gibson, Enterprise Rescue Inc. captain said the organization was pleased to donate an ambulance to the in-need Samson Volunteer Rescue Squad. ERI didn’t realize just how beneficial the ambu-lance would be to Samson until a few days after the donation, however.

The organization two weeks ago signed over the title of an ambulance to SVRS after learning the squad had only one ambu-lance available for use.

About one week after the donation, the ambulance was used to respond to victims after Michael McLendon, 28, went on a mass murder spree, killing 10 and himself.

The volunteer squad previ-ously had two frontline ambu-lances used to respond to emer-gencies over 300 square miles

One of the ambulances, however, was totaled when, while responding to an emergency medical call, it was struck by another vehicle, said SVRC Capt. Chris Wilkerson.

Because the department is a volunteer service, it did not have

the funding available to purchase a new truck.

At the same time, ERI decid-ed it would trade in two of its ambulances in order to have its fleet compiled of the same make and model of truck.

“When we learned of the situation, we agreed the trade-in value of the truck was not worth as much as the benefit of donat-ing it to Samson,” Gibson said.

ERI and SVRS have a long history of working together for the betterment of an entire com-munity, Gibson explained.

“During the March 1 tor-nado while many of our workers were in the school and commu-nity, Samson’s squad was in Hill-crest Baptist Church assessing the walking wounded,” Gibson said, adding the squad members worked innumerable hours to help Enterprise during the trag-edy.

Both squads have interacted to help area residents beyond the tragic tornado as well.

“Our territories buffer each other. We have been at several wrecks at the same time,” Wilk-erson said.

The donation, for both orga-nizations, is an example of emer-gency workers looking out for other emergency workers.

“It was a God-send that the timing was so perfect,” Wilkerson said.

Ambulance beneficial during tragedy

Wilkerson was also able to make contact with his wife.

She was in Geneva during McLendon’s rampage. She had been on her way to Wal-Mart where the shooter reportedly unleashed a spray of bullets and injured a police officer.

From that point, Wilkerson said he began focusing to make sure emergency workers were fed and organized.

He also helped in the orga-nization of placing the shooting victims on a mobile morgue, working into the early morning hours to complete the task.

The outpouring of help has continued in the past days, Wilkerson explained.

On March 10, ERI sent an ambulance to respond to medi-cal calls so the town’s volunteers could rest and mourn.

A volunteer with Sam-son’s ambulance service, Mur-ray Wise, lost his wife and child during McLendon’s rampage, Wilkerson said.

Tracy, 31, and Dean, 15, were shot on the porch of at the home of James Alford White, McLendon’s uncle and Tracy Wise’s father.

“We just all want to be there for him. It is impossible to understand the pain he is going through,” Wilkerson said, adding many of the volunteers felt the Wises were part of their family as well.

“As a squad, we just want to make sure we do everything we can for him,” he said.

The entire volunteer ser-vice attended the funerals of Wise’s wife and child Tuesday.

Rescue services from Enterprise and Troy provided emergency service during the funerals to free Samson rescue workers to attend.

“Luckily we have volun-teers who have been in the ser-vice a long time. In this job, you see a lot, but that doesn’t mean it is easy. They handled everything that day with profes-sionalism and really went above and beyond the call of duty,” Wilkerson said.

Last week, the Second District suffered a terrible tragedy when a lone gunman killed 10 people in Geneva and Coffee Counties and then turned the gun on himself. It was one of the most horrific events our state has seen in quite some time. Even though a week has passed since the shootings occurred, we are still asking ourselves what could make someone do this to his family and neighbors.

When I first arrived in Geneva County on Wednesday, I saw a community still in shock. There is no way to fully prepare for something such as this, but the response by law enforcement, elected officials, and regular citizens was incredible. I was humbled by the resiliency of the people and the ability for everyone to come together and get through this crisis. I truly believe people around the country will remember the Wiregrass as a place that will do whatever it takes to help its fellow citizens.

Much has been said about

the actions of law enforcement during and after the shootings, and indeed we cannot thank them enough. Without their brave and heroic actions, the number of casualties could have been much worse. In times like these, we are reminded of how much we appreciate those who are on the front lines protecting and defending us every day. Everyone in Southeast Alabama owes a debt of gratitude to our law enforcement.

Oftentimes, there is a quick call for new restrictions on gun ownership after events such as the one last week. Indeed, many pro-gun control groups have already called for tighter gun restrictions in light of recent events. In fact even before the shootings occurred, Attorney General Eric Holder said that there should be a reinstatement of the assault weapons ban that was in place for 10 years from 1994 to 2004. I noted that I had concerns about his comments in last week’s column, which was written and released before the tragedy in the Wiregrass.

While there is certainly a time and place for a stringent debate on gun policy, we need to be thoughtful in our deliberation and respectful of the families who mourn the loss of their loved ones before we begin a rush to judgment on a major policy change. Following the shootings at Virginia Tech in 2007, Congress debated and thoughtfully passed legislation that better funds the National Instant Criminal

Background Check in order to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill. Once we diagnose and fully understand how this happened, we can determine the best ways to prevent these violent acts from occurring in the future.

For now, however, it is time to mourn and remember those that we have lost in the Second District and continue to keep them in our thoughts and prayers. I believe the memories of departed loved ones will never be forgotten because the foundation of our communities is so strong.

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. We are also online at www.bright.house.gov to assist you in any way we can. You can also visit my website to sign up for my e-newsletter. It is my great pleasure to serve you and the entire Second District of Alabama. Thank you, and may God bless you and your families.

For several years there has been an outcry to pass legislation to stop PAC to PAC transfers. This is something that should be addressed because this deceptive practice has rendered Alabama’s campaign finance laws useless. We may as well do away with the law that requires PACs and candidates to report contributions if we do not close this glaring loophole.

The practice of a special interest or individual giving money to a PAC that is going to another PAC, which gives to another PAC with the knowledge and intent to disguise the candidate they gave their money to is outright fraud and is simply money laundering. This practice has become rampant in recent years. There is no way to discern who is giving to whom. The paper trail is so pervasive and creative that you, the voter, will never know the source of a candidate’s financing.

Gov. Riley should attack this one issue head on. He should heed the KISS formula and not offer a laundry list of two dozen “accountability bills.” If Riley focused on a single issue at a time, he might get a heads up vote on this issue.

Campaign finance laws and ethics disclosure forms for political campaigns and officeholders were enacted throughout the country in the 1970s. These reforms were adopted in most states in

reaction to the public outcry for ethics reform after the Watergate corruption. Practically every state passed an ethics law. There was even a model ethics law that was used as a framework from which states could create their own act, along with campaign finance disclosure laws. This model act was a very tough law, so in most cases the state legislatures chose to deviate from this strict model when drafting their own ethics laws.

In the 1970s, Alabama had a lot of veteran and crafty and crusty legislators who simply ignored the national trend and had no intentions of passing an ethics law. That did not keep the Alabama media from constantly harping on the need for such legislation. The press would hammer home the need for ethics in the legislature daily from the front pages to the editorials.

George Wallace was governor and he had pretty much dismissed ethics reform as an issue. He did not want to put his friends in the legislature on the spot. He had a very harmonious working relationship with the legislature and did not want to step on their toes and create a hornet’s nest.

However, lo and behold one day late in the legislative session Wallace decided to get a little good press. He called his legislative leadership team in and said there are only a few more legislative days left in the session and it’s too late for anything to pass, much less an ethics bill, so let’s appease the press and throw them a bone by introducing the bill.

They not only put in a bill, they used the toughest model act in the country. The bill was introduced in both chambers with an agreement that each body would kill the others bill. The House would pass the House Bill and all the representatives would get credit for voting for an ethics law, knowing full well that the Senate would kill it. The senators would then do the same so they could get credit knowing the House would kill their bill. They went about with their plan and gleefully passed the strongest ethics law in the country. Both they and Wallace enjoyed their day in the sun for being tough on ethics reform,

although hardly any of the senators or House members were for the package.

The press put a spotlight on the measures like they never had before and focused on the need for final passage. Things got out of hand and the House succumbed to public opinion and the bill got to the floor of the House. In a game of Russian roulette the House chickened out. Once it got to a vote, the representatives were hard pressed to vote against it. What began as a charade by Wallace ended up with Alabama having one of the toughest ethics laws in America.

Only a handful of House members had the nerve to vote against it. One was the crustiest and craftiest in the history of the legislature. Rankin Fite, the legendary House Speaker from Hamilton, who had done pretty well for himself and his county before any ethics law, voted against it. The press congregated around old Rankin’s desk and asked why he voted against it. He looked them squarely in the eye and said it wasn’t tough enough.

Step up and do the right thing for the city of New Brockton mayor.

Tragedy on highwayDear Editor:

Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2009 a tragic automobile accident occurred near Northport, Alabama. My dear friend Charlie Dare’s sweet and lovable wife Sheila was instantly killed in a one car accident as she lost control of her car, left the highway and obviously hit several trees.

It seems as if the story of an awful automobile accident is reported in the newspapers nearly everyday. Even though I only know a few of the victims, my heart bleeds for every person involved in these terrible accidents whether they are killed or fortunate to survive.

Just as we all witnessed by television the heroic “Miracle on the Hudson River” whereby a talented and experienced pilot landed a jet airplane in dire trouble on the frigid waters of the Hudson River saving all 155 people on board, we think to ourselves that we will never fly as it is too dangerous. But if the truth is known, in comparison to automobile accidents, air travel is much safer. These days driver’s of automobiles have too many obstacles to get their mind off the road. There is always the radio and tobacco products, and now we have cell phones, ipods, and heaven knows what else to occupy our minds instead of driving and watching out for the other drivers. And don’t forget, alcohol is the number one reason for tragic accidents on the highway.

A wonderful Christian lady, mother, and about to be grandmother, Nancy Goodson Andress was killed just last year as a passenger in an automobile. In that same accident, Neil Grantham

was severely injured spending several months in a Montgomery hospital, and continues to recover at home in Elba.

A young, bright, and beautiful young college girl, Lindsey Kelley, daughter of my dear friend and companion as principal of New Brockton High School, Dale Kelley, was tragically killed in an accident near Eufaula. She had a very bright future.

In December, 1996, my oldest son, Pat, was severely injured in a one car accident in Enterprise. Both the rescue vehicle driver and the wrecker driver said this accident was the worst accident they had ever seen whereby the victim lived. My son spent many days in ICU at SE Medical Center in Dothan. He broke his femur of his right leg, but more drastically suffered a brain injury. He was under the care of 13 doctors all calling his recovery a miracle. Now, he is a graduate of Auburn University in Poultry Science and serves Wayne Farms as their breeder manager. What a miracle! But, why did he live and so many others die.

A few weeks after Pat’s accident another outstanding young man with a great future in front of him, David Hussey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Hussey of Enterprise was killed in an accident shocking our entire community. David was a great baseball player and has a scholarship named for him today.

There are many other examples I could name, but referring back to the Shelia Dare tragedy let me say what fine Christians Sheila and Charlie Dare are. When something like this happens in life, we tend to think “Why me, Lord”? However, Charlie is much of a man and follower of Jesus Christ. His parents, Bob and Nancy Dare, did a great job in parenting all their children, Julie, Carrie, and Charlie.

You remember Charlie Dare as a great football player for the Wildcats in the late 1980s. He received a football scholarship to the University of Alabama where he was an offensive lineman. But if you were to ask Charlie his fondest memories at Alabama, there is no doubt in my mind he would say the honor of being captain of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. God blessed Charlie not only with his football skills, but his wonderful ability to sing and speak praises to Jesus.

Yes, Charlie is hurting awfully bad tonight, but because of his great faith he will rebound and serve God with his testimony and his other God-given gifts more than ever.

Charlie will not say, “Why me, God”, but because of his life and all the obstacles that life has dealt him, he will be a courageous great role model to our youth as well as adults.

May God bless you Dare family as well as Sheila’s family in the future with much brighter days.

God bless all.Thomas H. “Tom” Moates

Give Your Investment Portfolio a Spring Cleaning

Providedby

Sam Kyser

Spring is almost here – time to spruce up your house and get rid of your clutter. But this year, don’t confine your spring cleaning to your home and yard. Why not “freshen up” your investment portfolio at the same time? Of course, you can’t just take a mop and broom to your brokerage statement. But some of the same principles that apply to your basic spring cleaning can work just as well when you tidy up your investments. Consider the following suggestions: • Take an inventory of your belongings. If you’re like most people, you’ve got some things lying around your house that have outlived their usefulness. It might be that lawn mower that died in 2004 or the toaster that warmed its last slice during the Clinton Administration, but whatever it is, it’s beyond repair – and it should go. And the same may be true of some of your investments. If one hasn’t performed the way you had hoped or no longer fits into your long-term goals, this might be a good time to speak with a financial advisor. • Dispose of your dupli-cates. If you went through your house carefully, you might be surprised at how many items you have that do the same thing. Do you really need two colanders? And how many radios can you listen to at one time? If you looked at your investment portfolio the same way, you might be surprised by some of the redundancies that pop up. For example, you may have several stocks issued by similar companies that make similar products. This might not be a concern when the stock market is booming, but it could be a definite problem if a downturn affects the industry to which these companies belong. Always look for ways to diversify your holdings. While diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee a profit or protect against a loss, it may help reduce the effects of market volatility. • Put things back in order. Over time, and almost before you’re aware of it, the spaces in your home can get “out of balance.” Perhaps you have too many chairs in one corner, or maybe your new desk takes up too much space in your home office. With some rearranging, however, you can get things back in order. The same need for rearrangement may apply to your portfolio, which might have become unbalanced, with too much of one investment and too little of another. This situation could undermine your financial strategy, especially if the imbalance means you are taking on too much risk or, conversely, if your holdings have become too conservative to provide the growth you need. So, look for ways to restore your portfolio to its proper balance. By giving your portfolio an annual spring cleaning, you can help make sure it’s up-to-date, suited to your needs and well-positioned to help you make progress toward your key financial goals. And you can do it all without going near a dust cloth. Sam Kyser is an investment representative with Edward Jones in Enterprise. For questions or comments about investing, call Sam at 347-5552.

Marketing expert highlights Business Development WeekBy Carly OmenhiserSun Staff Writer

International speaker and small business expert Jon Schallert will be one of the special guest speakers this week as the Enterprise Chamber of Commerce hosts events for Business Development Week through March 19.

Schallert will be conducting a seminar at Wallace College in Dothan on Thursday.

“This event is done every year to help people in the community to develop their business,” said Enterprise Chamber of Commerce President Phil Thomas. “It will also help anyone who might be struggling in their business during these difficult economic times, or help people who might be thinking about getting into their own business.”

The week has already kicked off March 16 with a breakfast at Cutts Restaurant featuring Enterprise Ozark Community College Interim President Dr. Nancy Chandler as guest speaker.

Mary Beth Maddox, senior executive director of Personnel Resources presented a Recruiting 101 course on March 17 in the Chamber conference room.

A presentation by the Troy University Small Business Development Center entitled “Starting and Maintaining a New Business” will be offered in the Chamber conference room on March 18 at 9:30 a.m., which will

offer participants advice on the development of a new business.

“It’s a very informative and entertaining program,” said Thomas.

The Chamber will also provide private, by appointment, counseling throughout the afternoon of March 18.

Schallert’s seminar, taking place at Wallace College in Dothan on March 19 from 8 a.m.-11:45 a.m. will offer business owners and managers valuable advice in surviving, and even thriving during difficult times.

“The economy is not for those that are unwilling to change, adapt and learn new strategies to succeed,” said Schallert.

The Wiregrass Incubator Alliance and 12 area chambers including the Enterprise Chamber of Commerce are sponsoring the seminar entitled, “Increasing Profits as a Destination Business.”

“(Schallert) will talk about how to create a destination to attract customers to your business,” said Thomas.

Schallert used this method while working for Hallmark greeting cards and played a key role in creating the Hallmark Gold Crown Stores.

A marketing roundtable will follow the seminar at noon with a light lunch provided.

Thomas said that the seminar had to be moved to a larger room to accommodate the number of patrons attending and tickets have been sold out for this event.

Special to the Sun

During the month of March, Curves of Enterprise will participate in the 11th Annual Curves Food Drive to benefit local food banks. Collectively, over the past five years, nearly 50 million pounds of food were distributed to local communities all over the world through the Curves Food Drive.

Curves of Enterprise will be waiving its normal service

fee for any new member who brings in a bag of non-perishable groceries and joins between March 9 and March 28.

“The Curves Food Drive is always exciting,” said Carol Abbott, the owner of the Enterprise club, located at 621 Boll Weevil Circle Suite 30A. “We have a chance to help so many people at a time when the food banks are lowest. Especially during these uncertain times,

this food is needed more than ever. It’s a win-win situation for everyone, and we’re very proud to participate.”

Others wishing to donate may drop off non-perishable food items at Curves Monday through Friday during business hours through the month of March. For more information, call Carol Abbott at 393-7052.

Continued from Page 1AThe purpose of the pre-

sentation was to provide more information about the task force and House Bill 676, or the “Sweet Home Alabama” bill, to the pub-lic, so that they may know exactly what they are voting for if the bill is passed in the Legislature.

The bill will allow slot machines in nine Alabama coun-ties, including Houston.

“You’re talking about build-ing 14 casinos in the state that will put money into the hands of about five or six multi-million-aires,” said Reagan.

Reagan said that if the bill passes, it could lead to things like an increase in crime, poverty and corrupt government.

“If supporters of this bill really believe gambling is so good for Alabama,” said Riley in response to the bill’s introduc-tion, “then why does their bill say it will restrict gambling? It’s because deep down they know the truth: gambling might make casino operators into multi-millionaires, but it hurts people, families and our communities. It brings with it more misery, more crime and more corruption. Ala-bamians know this and that’s why every time all the people have had a chance to vote on gam-bling, they’ve rejected it. We will spend more than $12 billion in state and federal money on edu-cation in Alabama this year. This proposal would bring in less than

1 percent of that amount. For less than 1 percent, I don’t believe we should allow more crime, misery and corruption into Alabama.”

Taylor said the bill would legalize casinos, create a monop-oly guaranteeing wealth for certain gambling bosses, create a gaming commission that will protect that monopoly, tax the largest gambling bosses at only 10 percent and eliminate legiti-mate charity bingo.

Currently, slot machines are illegal in all 67 Alabama coun-ties and have been since 1901. However, in 1980 the Alabama Legislature passed bingo amend-ments that allowed 18 counties to operate charitable bingo opera-tions.

Since then, Reagan said that the law has been manipulated, and establishments have been set up all over the state calling themselves “electronic bingo” halls.

“This is why the governor has created the gambling task force,” said Reagan.

The task force, created Dec. 29, 2008, gathers evidence, locates and shuts down any illegal gam-bling operations throughout the state at no cost to the taxpayers.

Reagan added that it was “laughable” and “criminal” to call these operations bingo halls, because they are really just slot machines with a small bingo card that can easily be removed from the screen.

“What we’ve got is a con-sortium taking advantage of our legal system and the citizens,” said Reagan. “Our goal is to get the right case to the Alabama Supreme Court.”

Since the governor’s task force has been established, it has completed several investigations and raids on illegal gaming oper-ations, which resulted in the sei-zures of “rigged” slot machines.

The purpose of the task force is not to shut down the possibility of gambling, but to eliminate ille-gal gambling.

“The law is clear, gambling is illegal in Alabama,” said Reagan. “If it looks like a slot machine, sounds like a slot machine, then it’s an illegal slot machine.”

Supporters of the “Sweet Home Alabama” bill say that the bill will bring many needed jobs to the state, increase sales tax revenue through tourism dollars and provide more tax dollars for education and Medicaid. They want the electronic bingo sites to be approved, limited, regulated and taxed for the financial and economical betterment of the state.

In order for the bill to pass, it would have to be approved by at least 63 of the 104 members of the state House of Representa-tives and at least 21 of the 32 state senators. The bill would then go to the state voters who would have to give it a majority vote in the 2010 primary elections.

Continued from Page 1ARay Lewis thanked the

Pilot Club for the honor and the entire community for its support in the wake of his wife’s death.

“This is the most loving town I’ve ever lived in,” he said.

He said his wife loved helping others and was proud of her family, friends and the community.

“Enterprise has always been a strong community-minded town,” said Everhart to the crowd gathered in the First Baptist Church Fellow-ship Hall.

“It’s a great honor to be nominated. Each one of you is certainly deserving,” Ever-hart told Woman of the Year nominees Pansy Elliott, Helen Harrison, Suzanne Sawyer and Dr. Irma Townsend; Man of the Year nominees Dan Harrison, Tommy Johnson Jr. and Lanny Shepard; and Youth of the Year nominees Daniel Connors, Katie Russell and Erica Vick.

Everhart described each nominee as a shining example of citizenship. “Congratula-tions to each of you on your nominations and thank you for your dedicated service to the City of Enterprise,” she said.

Enterprise First Baptist Church Pastor Lance Hogan said the nominees, have been “called out” to perform the ser-vice that helps others in a vari-ety of ways.

“Each one of them repre-sents a little bit of who we are,

the Enterprise community and I am proud to be a part of it,” said Hogan, who delivered the invocation and benediction.

Jeanine Roberts thanked the Pilot Club for the oppor-tunity to serve as the 2007 Woman of the Year, serving during 2008.

Though the satisfaction of helping others is the ultimate reward for those who choose to volunteer, Roberts said she also gained rewards in meet-ing new people and forging new friendships because of the opportunities presented to her through the Woman of the Year honor.

“It was the opportunity of a lifetime,” she said.

She announced Sawyer’s selection as Woman of the Year.

Sawyer, nominated by the OSCAR Club, is president of the Coffee County Arts Alli-ance and has volunteered her time and finances in numerous other community projects.

“The ladies here are all so much more deserving,” Sawyer said, expressing her surprise and modesty.

She praised the citizens of Enterprise for their giving, sharing nature, and said she will represent the city with pride during the coming year.

Outgoing Man of the Year William “Chick Griffin” also conveyed his feeling of being undeserving of the honor last year, but said he appreciated the opportunity.

He said he enjoyed the

year and is thankful for all the support he received.

“The most support I’ve had and the most satisfaction I’ve had was when I had the opportunity to do what I was selected for, to help people,” he said. “I want God to give me the strength and the ability and the opportunity to do it again.”

Griffin presented the Man

of the Year award to Johnson, whose primary focus during 2008 in addition to church activities was the Coffee Coun-ty Habitat for Humanity.

“I want to recognize my wife (Robin) because what I do is what we do together,” said Johnson, a third-term Enter-prise City Councilman. “Most of all, I want to thank my Lord

and Savior for not only giving me the ability but the opportu-nity to serve.”

Outgoing Youth of the Year Lydia Townsend, a 2008 gradu-ate of Enterprise High School presented the Youth of the Year Award. She said she enjoyed representing Enterprise, which she called “a real community ... built upon circles ... where

people with all these differ-ences can come together to be one.”

When she called Con-nor’s name, the surprised son of Susan and John Connors expressed heartfelt apprecia-tion for the honor of represent-ing the city and school that he loves.

Connors, who has two cochlear implants that have slowly opened up a world of sound for him through the years, said the Enterprise com-munity opened its arms to him and his family and that volun-teering for school and commu-nity projects is a way he shows his appreciation.

“We all need to work together. We all need to share our ideas,” he said. “There’s no other community like ours.”

Nominated by the Altrusa Club, Connors congratulated the nominees in all categories.

“Erica and Katie — they are so wonderful and they work so hard too,” Connors said, point-ing out that the ladies nomi-nated for Woman of the Year and men nominated for Man of the Year “have a great love for this community” that has helped to make the city better.

The former Man, Woman and Youth of the Year winners who attended were Mary Grif-fin, Linda Andress, Charlene Goolsby and Kenneth Boswell, were recognized during Civic Night.

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed chocolates and snacks by Carolyn Brown.

The family of the late Joan Lewis accept her award as Woman of the Year in perpetuity during the Pilot Club of Enterprise’s Civic Night Reception March 12. From left are Lewis’ daughters Ginny Lewis Adams and Beth Lewis Moore; granddaughter Mary Elizabeth Adams; and her husband Ray Lewis.

Continued from Page 1AThis ROCC organization is

separate in distinction and cov-ers all of Coffee County to be mobilized in the occurrence of a natural or man-made disas-ter.

“Hopefully we won’t have to exercise this for a long time,” said Emergency Management Director John Tallas. “Every-one in this room is taking a proactive direction in terms of natural disaster. No one wants to deal with this, but we want

to be prepared for it when it comes.”

ROCC is a Voluntary Orga-nization Active in Disaster that is comprised of national, state and county organizations that provide assistance.

Its purpose is to coordinate and maximize the volunteer efforts and effectively disburse donated goods and services.

The organization will address the unmet needs of cit-izens that are directly affected by a declared disaster and sup-

port the recovery efforts of sur-rounding counties in the event of a disaster.

The general member-ship includes volunteers, ser-vice organizations, faith-based organizations, churches, state and local government officials, civic groups, disaster-related service groups and emergency service providers.

Hugh Weeks, chairman of the steering committee, updat-ed volunteers on the status of the organization.

The original organization meeting held in September 2007 approved the organiza-tion’s bylaws, standard oper-ating guide and completed all applications for non-profit sta-tus with the government.

“We have not yet received a response to that, but I have no reason to believe it won’t come back a positive,” said Weeks.

Weeks made it clear that the organization will not fund-raise in the event of a declared disaster.

“Wear your seat belt!”Country music hitmaker

Aaron Tippin said concert-goers to the free Jones Jam Saturday night can expect a great ride as he joins Clint Black, Lee Greenwood,

Randy Houser, Shane Owens and the legendary George Jones in concert in Dothan.

The concert will begin at 2 p.m. at the National Peanut Fes-tival Fairgrounds on Highway 231 South. It is sponsored by Ronnie Gilley Entertainment in celebra-tion of the groundbreaking of the

Country Crossing bingo pavilion and the beginning of the multi-million dollar country music development.

In a telephone interview Monday, Tippin invited every-one to come and enjoy the show, which he said “is gonna be a lot of fun.”

From him, Tippin said fans can expect a high-energy show featuring songs like “You’ve Got to Stand for Something” and “Kiss This” along with songs from his latest album, a tribute to truckers.

Tippin said the concert is just a sample of good things to come in the future when Country

Crossing is developed.“You better look up, because

there are going to be stars hang-ing around there all of the time,” he said.

Tippin believes Country Crossing is going to be a great benefit to the Wiregrass, will bring a wealth of talent to the commu-

nity and will be a major attraction for country artists and fans.

“I’m so excited about that,” he said. “I’m looking forward to being a part of it.”

Tippin said he hopes every-one will participate in the con-cert Saturday at the festival fair-grounds. Gates open at noon.

Saturday’s Jones Jam concert expected to be ‘great ride’

Continued from Page 1AFollowing the shooting,

officers believe McLendon set fire to his mother’s body.

He then made his way to Samson where he found fam-ily members and friends sitting and visiting on the front porch. He killed his uncle, James Alford White, 55; his cousins, Tracy Michelle Wise, 34, and Dean James Wise, 15; and Andrea Myers, 31, and Corrine Gracy Myers, 19 months, wife and daughter of Geneva County Deputy Josh Myers.

Injured at that residence was 4-month-old Ella K. Myers, daughter of Deputy Myers.

According to witnesses, McLendon got out of his vehi-cle and began spraying bullets across the porch, leaving only Ella alive under the bloodied body of her mother.

McLendon’s aunt, Phyllis White, had seen the shootings and fled from the home through the back door, running to a neighbor’s home for help.

After making his way to the backyard of the home, in what has been considered a search for his aunt, McLendon then shot and killed Virginia E. White, 74, his grandmother, who was standing in the doorway of her nearby mobile home.

McLendon traveled north on Wise Street, where he shot and killed a pedestrian, James Irvin Starling, 24.

McLendon continued north onto Main Street in Samson, where he shot and injured Jeffrey Lynn Nelson, 50 before driving by the Inland Gas Station, where he killed Sonya Smith, 43. Smith had stayed home from work, family members said, because she was not feeling well.

McLendon also fired upon Greg McCullough, 49, who was outside the gas station. Witness-es said McCullough was shot in the shoulder, but still attempted to provide medical attention to Smith.

Only a few doorways down, Paul Hoffman, a pharmaceuti-cal representative from Daphne, walked around somewhat in a daze following the events of what began as a normal Tuesday afternoon.

He had been cutting through Samson on his way to Dothan when at a red light he encountered McLendon. “I was sitting at the light when I heard shooting. I saw a woman (Smith) at the gas station get hit. I saw the lady get hit and fall while she was at the pump,” Hoffman said. “Then I saw a red car speed by in front of me. I didn’t know what was going on.”

Not understanding the full extent of the situation, Hoffman said he pulled out and tried to follow the car. “I just wanted to get his tag number, let people know he had shot someone,” he said.

He sped to catch McLen-

don’s vehicle, but McLendon slowed down. Hoffman was unsure of the reason.

Ricky Hughes knew, though. Ricky and Judy Hughes, of Enter-prise, were inside their business, Ricky’s Computer Repair, when they heard what sounded like fireworks or even an air gun.

“They had been doing work next door. At first, I just thought it was them working,” Hughes said.

But the sound didn’t stop. It only drew closer. Hughes, curi-ous about the noise, peered out his front windows in time to see an Eclipse slow down in front of his business.

“It looked like he was switching out guns and smiling,” he said. “Then he drove off.”

The popping started again.When Hoffman saw a gun

peek out from McLendon’s win-dow he realized he needed to find a safe place. McLendon was spraying a parking lot beside a hardware store and the business with bullets and Hoffman was only a few feet behind him.

With a quick turn, Hoffman pulled into a parking place in front of Samson Town Hall and rushed inside for cover. “I was trying to find a police officer,” he said.

The Hugheses said they didn’t even have time to react.

“It just happened so fast. You see it, but you really never expect something like this to happen,” Hughes said.

“You could smell and taste the gunpowder. It was so thick,” Judy Hughes said.

The couple did not find any bullet holes in their business.

The townspeople didn’t realize at the time that one of their own, 51-year-old Bruce Wilson Maloy, was putting his life in danger to slow the man who had wreaked so much havoc.

“Bruce, in my opinion, was a hero that day,” said Chris Wilk-erson, captain of the Samson Volunteer Rescue Squad.

Many witnesses to McLendon’s rampage in Sam-

son recalled a truck following him down the street unsure at the time what was occurring between the truck and McLen-don.

Maloy was traveling in his truck behind McLendon attempting to run him off the road.

“I don’t know how many times he bumped into McLen-don. I just know, I guess, that he was trying to run him off the road. He was trying to get him to stop,” Wilkerson said. “I truly believe he slowed him down and saved lives.”

McLendon eventually shot Maloy, making him McLendon’s 10th victim of the day.

Despite Maloy’s efforts, McLendon went on to con-tinue his reign of terror into Geneva. Investigator Ricky Morgan rammed the Eclipse in an attempt to stop McLendon as Police Chief Frankie Lind-sey aided in trying to block the vehicle with his police SUV. With a barrage of gunfire on the two police vehicles, McLendon was able to drive away.

He stopped at Reliable Metal Products on Highway 27 where he had formerly worked. McLendon exchanged gunfire with Conservation Officer Joel Hendren and Geneva County Sheriff ’s Deputy Tony Helms before entering the building and taking his own life.

McLendon left in his wake a town of angry, scared and devastated residents who are now trying to heal.

For many, there is a hope to sleep peacefully through the night once again. For others, it is the hope that they will one day feel safe again.

For Judy Hughes, it is the hope that she will someday soon stop imagining the taste of gunpowder in her mouth.

For Jimmy Ward and his grandson Aiden, it is the hope to continue to live life to the fullest.

For all, it is the hope the question of why might some-how be answered.

Continued from Page 1AMcLendon killed 10 indi-

viduals including family mem-bers, friends and apparent strangers. He fired more than 200 rounds from assault rifles including a semi-automatic SKS rifle, a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle, a shotgun and a .38-caliber handgun.

DVDs were located on the use of each weapon in McLen-don’s possession.

Investigators also found an informational DVD on how to be effective as a knife fighter, coin-ciding with several knives they found in McLendon’s home.

McAliley said though his office will not yet release its the-ory as to McLendon’s motive for the murders, the motive investi-gators are developing likely has to do with all of McLendon’s family. Other agencies have suggested that the desire for the family Bible led McLendon to murder, but McAliley said his office does not agree.

“We have the Bible and have gone over the Bible. It is our opinion that it was not the motive,” he said, explaining that McLendon had the Bible, which was found in his Kinston home.

McAliley’s office is working to identify the beneficiaries of life insurance policies on McLendon and his mother.

“Those could lead to a motive,” McAliley said.

Sorting through the evi-dence at McLendon’s home, investigators discovered lists of individuals written in McLen-don’s handwriting. The lists included information on how McLendon believed they had “wronged” him. Lists found in the home also contained the names of three Enterprise attor-neys and five Geneva County attorneys.

Investigators also found survival equipment that would allow an individual to survive in the wilderness for a lengthy amount of time. In McAliley’s possession currently is a survival pack McLendon organized.

The pack included four water canteens with water inside, water purification systems, a gas mask, waterproof matches, camoflauge jackets and blan-kets.

“We believe he had inten-tions of returning to his home following the murders to retrieve the bag,” McAliley said.

McLendon was said to be “a self-proclaimed survivalist” who was “dissatisfied with his present condition in life” and harbored “ill feelings towards family mem-bers,” Alabama Department of Public Safety officials said in a press conference Thursday.

McAliley said investiga-tors have learned that McLen-don’s parents had gone through a divorce several years ago and that the young man was bitter toward some of the relatives.

“He had a burn on for soci-

ety. He had a burn on for specific people,” McAliley said.

State investigators said in a press conference Thursday McLendon left a letter in a mail-box for “an intended recipient” Tuesday after he killed his moth-er. They said the letter indicated the motive for the killings was a family dispute.

A source said the letter also described additional intended victims who are believed to be other members of McLendon’s family.

Law enforcement officials said McLendon had a long his-tory of failures, including an attempt to join the United States Marine Corps. McLendon’s mili-tary discharge orders said he was discharged because of fraudu-lent enlistment Oct. 22, 1999, little more than a month after joining.

McLendon later was hired as a Samson police officer, but was fired after being kicked out of the police academy in 2003.

He had an additional his-tory of unsteady employment with Reliable, Kelley Foods and Pilgrim’s Pride.

McAliley said people who worked with him at Reliable and at Kelley Foods described him as quiet and well liked.

George Helms, human resources manager at Reliable, said McLendon was not a known troublemaker while working for the company.

“He worked here from late 1999 until July of 2003. We didn’t have any problems with him here that would seem out of the ordi-nary,” Helms said. “His files show that he had good attendance and performance appraisals. Despite what has been reported, he was not laid off or forced to resign.”

Helms said the company remains unsure of why McLen-don stopped at Reliable last week or if he was targeting any of its employees.

“We were listening to the scanner that day. We often do for weather updates,” he said. “We heard when he came into Geneva.”

At that time, Helms said he did not know McLendon was the shooting suspect and had no reason to believe he would come to Reliable.

“The whole thing didn’t last five minutes. Once he turned on Highway 27, it took him about a

minute to get to the plant. You didn’t have time to plan for what you would do if he stopped,” Helms explained.

A confidant of McLendon’s told law enforcement McLendon had been depressed in the days prior to the shooting, but the friend did not believe McLendon to be depressed to the point of the murders.

McAliley said McLendon’s neighbors described the shooter as a quiet, shy man.

“The only complaints the neighbor ever made was that he was constantly shooting in his backyard and they were afraid he would accidentally shoot the cattle,” said McAliley.

Others who knew McLen-don have voiced shock at his actions.

Samson Mayor Clay King said McLendon had been a quiet kid.

“I knew him. I had even coached him. I knew the boy all of his life and never had any trouble with him,” King said.

Samson Councilman Ron-ald Davis said he was shocked to learn of McLendon’s actions.

“He had called town hall today (March 10) and asked if we had a council meeting. We didn’t. I wonder if he would have waited until then and come to the council meeting,” he said.

McAliley said McLendon’s actions show the “hatred” he had for society.

“His hatred was shown by him killing his momma,” McAli-ley said.

A dog was lying at Lisa McLendon’s head on the couch. Two more dogs were at the moth-er’s feet and one at her side.

McAliley said McLendon had put blankets and coats on the bottom part of the body and set them afire.

Paint thinner had been used as an accelerant to set the house on fire. The house was not destroyed, however. Witnesses had reportedly seen McLen-don leave driving a Mitsubishi Eclipse and saw smoke at the house before calling for help.

A timeframe of McLendon’s acts have led investigators to believe his rampage lasted little more than an hour. They believe he set fire to his mother’s body about 3 p.m. before leaving for Samson.

In Samson, the small town of little more than 2,000 residents, McLendon killed his uncle, 55-year-old James Alfred White, his cousins Tracy Michelle Wise and Dean James Wise; 31-year-old Andrea D. Myers and her daughter Corrine, 19 months old. Myers’ 3-month-old daugh-ter Ella was wounded, but has been released from a Pensacola hospital and reunited with her father, Geneva County Deputy Josh Myers.

McLendon also killed his 74-year-old grandmother, Vir-ginia White, James Irvin Starling, Sonya Smith and Bruce Wilson Maloy.

Piney Woods Art Festival

T he Piney Woods Arts Festival, one of the oldest arts and crafts shows in the area, is preparing for its 35th consecu-

tive year of special displays, food and entertain-ment.

David Deal, chairman of the festival says, “Piney Woods features qual-ity arts and crafts for rea-sonable pric-es and offers something for everyone in the fam-ily. There will be many new artists — come out and enjoy a fun-filled weekend.”

The festival is March 28, from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., and March 29, from noon until 4 p.m. on the grounds of Enterprise-Ozark Community College.

Piney Woods attracts the best artists to the show for many reasons. The festival is a juried arts and crafts show, which means all goods offered must be hand-made by the artist, thus reflecting the creativity of the artist. Significant monetary awards are awarded for artists in several catego-ries, and there is a guaranteed purchase program in place, which assures a certain level of pur-chases at the festival.

“I always enjoy Piney Woods because it is such a pleasant place for an art show. The artists are located under the pine trees, on grassy slopes. You couldn’t find a nicer place to stroll around, enjoy the outdoors and see all kinds of art work,” said Mary McShane, who paints watercolor flowers and fish.

Freida Stewart, an artist who specializes in whimsical painted child’s furniture, is gratified by the many returning customers each year who stop by to tell her how much they enjoy the art, crafts or furniture that they purchased at an earlier show.

John Warr has a 25-year following at Piney Woods.

“Most shows that I have been doing for many years have gotten too big, too expensive, are dif-

ficult to deal with or they have faded away to noth-ing. Piney Woods hasn’t changed very much at all. The people running it have always been friendly and go out of their way to make the artist feel at

home. The customer base from Fort Rucker has always been there for me. I began painting

wildlife in the early 80s and added Civil War scenes in 1990. Soldiers and their families have been good custom-ers of these two subjects for many

years. I’m looking forward to coming to Enterprise,” Warr says.

Stain glass master, Kimberli Foug-eron, says she only has so many win-

dows to display her stained glass pieces in and it is great to have a local show. “It is a juried art show which keeps the

art pure. In my case, it is homemade right here in Enterprise,” she said.

The Festival provides an opportunity for local high school students to display their art and pho-tography and receive recognition in the form of r i b b o n s and cash awards.

A variety of activi-ties is offered for

families, including inflatables, face painting, and car-nival games.

A Civil War Living His-tory Dis-play and

the Weevil City Cruisers Car and Truck

Show, on Sat-urday only, will

be on the grounds, along with entertain-

ment, food and bever-ages.

Festival sponsors are the Coffee County Arts Alliance and Martin-Colley Drug Company. For more information, call 334-406-ARTS (2787) or 334-797-4769. Admission to the festival is free.

The day has come and gone when the act of pinching becomes an art form. If you weren’t wearing green yes-terday in honor of St. Patrick’s Day there is a good chance that once or twice you felt a small jab of pain as someone physically called you out for being a nonconformist.

Personally, I am not a big fan of being pinched. I kind of loathe it actually.

So, I thought what better time to address the etiquette of pinching for St. Patrick’s Day in the hopes that next year we all might have fewer bruises.

Pinching individuals who are not wearing green for the holiday is said to have begun after some Irish men and women failed to wear green on that day. Wear-ing green was a symbol of national pride. Not wearing green was symbolic of being scared or ashamed of the Irish heritage, according to the His-tory Channel.

I completely understand the whole pride thing. I really do. I even think some pinches are warranted.

I don’t, however, get the whole pain thing.

So, the following are some pinching guidelines that I hope we can follow next St. Patrick’s Day.

1. There are certain plac-es that should be off limits for pinching. The places include the soft underarm area, sides or ribs and gluteus maximus. A soft pinch on the forearm or shoulder is acceptable.

2. One should not be allowed to hide their green. Come on, we all remember as children when we would hide what we wore that was green in the hopes someone would pinch us and we could pinch them 10 times in return for their mistake. That should definitely not be allowed! If you can’t wear your green proudly, you deserve a small, not terribly painful pinch.

3. This rule coincides with rule number two. Wear-ing green on underwear or socks that are not readily seen will, in fact, warrant a pinch.

4. There is no twisting in pinching. Webster’s diction-ary defines pinching as “to squeeze between the finger and thumb.” Note that it does NOT say, squeeze between finger and thumb and then twist. Just thought that should be pointed out.

5. Finally, green eyes or green teeth from drinking a green beverage or green frost-ing does not count as wearing green. Attempt this and you will receive a pinch. Refer to rules 1 and 4 on how to pinch.

With pinching etiquette in mind, I think the holiday honoring a man who is said to have removed all snakes from Ireland and explained religion using shamrocks (wikipedia explanations) will be all the more enjoyable.

We will be able to eat, drink and be merry without the bruises. Just a thought from a sore and bruised journalist.

Melissa BraunSun Staff Writer

At times in my life, I’ve questioned whether God can know how I feel. Maybe you have too.

When I see injustices against people, I want to right those wrongs. When I see fam-ily and friends going through serious illness and death, I am saddened. When I see senseless evil such as the shootings in south Alabama, I am dismayed.

Can God really relate to how I feel? A story I heard many years ago offers an answer.

“At the end of time, billions of people were scattered on a great plain before God’s throne. Some of the groups near the front talked heatedly-not with cringing shame, but with bel-ligerence.

A woman asked, “How can God judge us? How can He know about suffering?” She rolled up her sleeve, revealing a tattooed number from a Nazi concentration camp.

In another group, a black man lowered his collar, show-ing an ugly rope burn, “What about this?” he exclaimed as he demanded God explain his lynching.

“Far out across the plain were hundreds of such groups. Each had a complaint against God for the evil and suffering He permitted in His world.

“How lucky God was to live

in heaven where all was sweet-ness and light, where there was no weeping, no fear, no hun-ger, no hatred. Indeed, what did God know about what man had been forced to endure in the world?

“So each group sent out a leader, chosen because he had suffered the most. There was a Jew, a black man, an untouch-able from India, an illegitimate, a person from Hiroshima, and one from a Siberian slave camp. In the center of the plain, they consulted with each other?

They decided God should be sentenced to live on earth as a man! But, because He was God, they set certain safeguards to be sure He could not use His divine powers to help Himself.

“Let Him be born a Jew. Let the legitimacy of His birth be doubted, so that none will

know who His father really is.”“Let Him champion a

cause so just, but so radical, that it brings down upon Him the hate, condemnation, and elimi-nating efforts of every major tra-ditional and religious authority.

“Let Him be betrayed by His dearest friends. Let Him be indicted on false charges, tried before a prejudiced jury and convicted by a cowardly judge.

“Let Him see what it is to be terribly alone and complete-ly abandoned by every living thing. Let Him be tortured and let Him die! Let Him die the most humiliating death-with common thieves.

As each leader announced his position of the sentence, loud murmurs of approval went up from the great throng of peo-ple. When the last had finished pronouncing sentence, there was a long silence.

No one uttered anoth-er word. No one moved. For suddenly all knew....God had already served His sentence.

For He lived among us and He understands and sym-pathizes “with our weaknesses and infirmities” and troubles. (Hebrews 4:16 NAS).

After completion of basic military training, soldiers receive advanced individual training in their career job specialty prior to being assigned to their first permanent duty station.

When rumors began spreading around Daleville of Mike Dean’s departure shortly after the football season, the first-year head coach told his players he wouldn’t leave unless the perfect situation came along.

That situation came along last Friday.

Dean accepted the head coaching position at McGill-Toolen in Mobile last week. Dean also will serve as the

athletic director. He will formally resign as Daleville’s football coach this week.

“The perfect situation came along,” Dean said. “I told our kids the only way I would leave was if the perfect situation back home opened. The perfect situation did open.”

Dean coached for one year at Daleville. He guided the Warhawks to their best season since 2002. Daleville finished the 2008 season 9-4, the most wins since 2002, and won the region title for the first time

in six years. The Warhawks advanced to the quarterfinals of the state playoffs for the first time since 2002.

Dean came to Daleville from McGill, where he served as defensive coordinator from 2005-2007. During that time, the Yellow Jackets fielded one of the top defenses in Class 6A.

Dean never sold his house in Daphne after moving to Daleville. He said he would move back into that house, something that made the decision easier.

“This takes a huge financial burden off of us,” Dean said. “It’s just a perfect situation.”

The Yellow Jackets went 13-1 in 2007, the last year Dean served as defensive coordinator, and advanced to the semifinals. Last year, McGill went 9-3 and were eliminated in the second round.

Dean said the system McGill runs is the same he installed at Daleville.

Enterprise baseball coach Shawn Gilmer got what he wanted last Saturday. The Wildcat bats were hot, combining for 29 runs and 34 hits in a doubleheader at Holmes County (Fla.).

Well, at least Gilmer got half of what he wanted. Enterprise split with Holmes County. The Wildcats won the first game 16-13, but lost 19-13 in the second.

The outcome left Gilmer scratching his head.

“This was a weird couple

of baseball games,” Gilmer said. “There is no way you could have told me coming in we would have 34 hits on the day and split. Of course, I would never have believed we would give up 32 runs on the day, either.”

The fireworks began early in the first game. The Wildcats scored two runs in the top of the first inning and added five runs in the second.

That kept them close. Holmes County scored four runs in the first and added five more in the second.

After a scoreless third inning, Enterprise exploded for five more runs in the fourth. The Wildcats tacked two more runs in both the fifth and sixth innings to stretch its lead to 16-9.

Holmes County attempted a comeback and scored four runs in the seventh before Enterprise’s Levi Tate closed the door.

Tate earned the win after pitching six innings of relief. He allowed five hits and five runs while striking out nine.

The 2009 Enterprise High School football schedule will have a familiar look to it. Nothing has changed on it from last season except the locations.

Enterprise will play the exact same schedule in 2009 as it did in 2008. The only difference is last year’s away games will be this year’s home games. Last year’s home games will be this year’s away games, with the exception of the regular-season finale against Jeff Davis. The Volunteers will play in Enterprise again this year.

Enterprise football coach Kevin Collins said the advantage of flipping games meant the Wildcats would open the season with three home games.

Of course, the three games aren’t against cream puffs. Enterprise opens against Alma Bryant, Central-Phenix City and Auburn.

After losing its first four games for first-year coach Ronnie Cottrell, Alma Bryant ended the season by winning four of its final six. Central opened last season 3-1 before losing five of its final six games. Auburn won 12 consecutive games before losing to eventual state champion Prattville.

“We have traditionally played well at home,” Collins said. “But if we can’t play at their level, we’ll need every advantage we can get. Teams traditionally play better at home and we hope that

will be the case with us. But it still goes back to our ability to execute.”

Both Central and Auburn have highly touted quarterbacks. Central’s Darren Daniel and Auburn’s Calvin Jenkins both enter their third year under center and expect to be heavily recruited.

Lump Daniel and Jenkins with Northview’s B.J. Chitty, who had orally committed to Auburn before Tommy Tuberville resigned, and the Class 6A, Region 3 features three of the best quarterbacks in the state.

“This seems to be the year our opponents have (NCAA) Division I caliber quarterbacks,” Collins

said. “It will be a tall order for us.”The Wildcats will travel to traditional power

Opelika in week four and will play perennial 5A power Eufaula in week five.

Enterprise hosts Northview in week six. The final three region games feature road games against Smiths Station, Dothan and Russell County. All three teams made significant improvements last year for their young head coaches.

“(This region) has always been recognized as a very difficult region,” Collins said. “We beat up on each other.”

Enterprise will close the regular season against Jeff Davis. The Volunteers and Wildcats have played epic contests in the past. Last season, Enterprise won to give Jeff Davis its first winless season. The Volunteers hired Travis Pearson as head coach during the offseason.

The Wildcats, which finished 7-4 last season, will be attempting to push its streak of consecutive playoff appearances to eight years. To do so, Enterprise must replace several pieces from last year’s team, including 1,000-yard rusher Brandon Hart and two-year quarterback Tony Gray, who signed to play at Troy.

“I want to see if we can maintain,” Collins said. “That’s what is important. We’ll be tested this year. We’ve lost 92 percent of our offense. That will be our big test if we can maintain what we’ve accomplished during the last few years.”

DALEVILLE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

I’m using a new strategy this year to fill out my NCAA bracket.

For years, I’ve agonized about the offensive rebound-ing capabilities of College U. I’ve studied the scouting reports and based my entire bracket on the health of some-one’s big toe.

I’ve looked at schedule strength, conference strength and coach’s strength. None have worked.

I’ve filled out a bracket in March Madness for as long as I’ve watched basketball. I can’t remember winning anything. I’ve come close, but never won. I’ve picked upsets – like David-son’s run to the Elite Eight last year – but it’s never added up to me being crowned the King of Bracketville.

So this year I’m changing. I’ve barely watched col-

lege basketball this season. I’ve hardly kept up with the NCAA Tournament selection process.

In some way, I think that will help me.

I just printed out a bracket and looked at it for the first time. And I’m picking at random.

I like Louisville. They are the only team from a major conference to win the regular-season and conference titles. And I hardly ever pick against Pitino.

Louisville will beat Si-enna, Utah and Kansas on the way to the Final Four.

Memphis will breeze through the West Regional, setting up an old-school Con-ference USA battle. Missouri is the only school to give Mem-phis trouble, with Memphis winning an epic in the Sweet 16. The much-anticipated match-up against UConn doesn’t generate interest, as the Tigers run past the Huskies.

North Carolina is on “Toe Watch,” as everyone is observing the health of Ty Lawson, who stubbed his toe in the ACC Tournament. If he’s healthy, the Tar Heels are unstoppable. But, he’s not healthy. Gonzaga knocks out UNC in the Sweet 16. The Zags then bring back their under-dog magic from years past and advance to the Final Four.

Duke catches a break in the East Regional. Upset after upset just before a Duke match-up makes the Blue Dev-ils’ path back to the Final Four an easy one.

Memphis defeats Louis-ville in a classic reminiscent of the Kentucky-UMass semifinal of 1996, which also paired Pitino against Calipari.

Duke blasts Gonzaga by 15 points, setting up a Blue Devils-Tigers final.

Memphis gets the lucky breaks this year, as opposed to last, makes free throws before joining hands to sing “One Shining Moment.”

This could be completely wrong and I might be laughed out of the office pool.

But, at least I’m letting the Madness drive me crazy.

The Enterprise boys tennis team worked hard in their season-opener March 5 against Northview, but pulled away late for a 5-4 win.

The Wildcats got a boost from their Nos. 2 through 5 singles players. Each of the four players earned wins, helping secure the match for Enterprise.

Carson Callahan made quick work of Sam Whatley in an 8-0 win in the No. 2 sin-gles match. David McKeon defeated Ben Dasinger 8-4 in the No. 3 singles. Saxon McClamma beat Walton Delavan 8-2 in No. 4 singles. Benjamin Marler won 8-3 against David Green in the No. 5 spot.

“Our guys played well for their first match of the year,” Enterprise boys coach Brent Harrison said.

Northview’s Harris Bar-

nard defeated Alex Harris 8-0 in the No. 1 singles.

“Alex had a tough time against Barnard,” Harrison said. “But, his opponent is one of the top-ranked players in the state.”

Sam Bishop defeated Brennen Heim 9-7 in No. 6 singles. Enterprise’s Brandon Peekin earned an 8-4 win in No. 7 singles.

Harris and Callahan lost to Barnard and Whatley 8-5 in No. 1 doubles. McKeon and McClamma beat Dasing-er and Delavan 8-2 in No. 2 doubles. Green and Bish-op earned a 9-7 win against Enterprise’s Marler and Heim.

Enterprise traveled to Andalusia for a match Tues-day after The Southeast Sun went to press. For more on that match, see next week’s edition of The Southeast Sun.

Wildcats grind out season opening win

By Andy LeonardSun Sports Editor

The Enterprise junior var-sity baseball team won three games in impressive fashion last weekend.

The Wildcats earned an 8-5 win against Rehobeth and a 20-10 win against Wicksburg last Friday. Enterprise claimed an 8-7 come-from-behind win last Saturday against Graceville (Fla.).

In the Rehobeth win, Dal-ton Dalrymple led the Wildcats. Dalrymple went 2-for-3 with three RBIs at the plate and also earned the win on the mound. Levi Tate also had two hits and three RBIs.

Tyler Stump led the pow-erful Enterprise attack against Wicksburg with four hits and three RBIs. Patrick Stinson had three hits and an RBI. Jacob Mal-koff had two hits and earned the win. Tate hit a grand slam.

As impressive as scoring 20 runs and winning by 10 runs can be, the Wildcats held the dra-matics until the weekend’s final game.

Enterprise earned an 8-7 win against Graceville after Eric Averett scored on a balk.

Mark Cuthbert hit a two-out, two-run home run in the seventh inning to tie the game at 7-7. Averett and Jalen Hooks each got on base after Cuthbert. With the runners at first and third, Hooks attempted a steal. The Graceville pitcher was called for a balk during the steal attempt, scoring Averett and securing an Enterprise win.

Tyler Martin led Enterprise at the plate going 2-for-2. He also

Last Friday seemed like déjà vu to New Brockton base-ball coach Jim Bob Striplin.

The Gamecocks lost by a run for the second time in a week. Both times, New Brock-ton left many runners on base.

Cottonwood defeated New Brockton 3-2 in nine innings in a Class 2A, Area 2 match-up. The Gamecocks left 11 runners on base in the loss.

“We hit the ball well, we just left a lot of runners on base,” Striplin said. “That seems to be the case for the last two games.”

New Brockton lost to Kinston 4-3 last Tuesday. The Gamecocks left several runners on base in that game, also.

Getting into the meat of its area schedule, Striplin knows the Gamecocks cannot afford many more days of scoring futility.

“We play a schedule that doesn’t allow us to leave people on base,” Striplin said. “We’ve got to get guys coming through

for us. We’re working hard to accomplish that.”

New Brockton jumped to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning. Cottonwood narrowed the margin to 2-1 with a run in the fourth inning.

The Gamecocks almost got out of Cottonwood with a win, but an error brought the Bears back. With two out and a man on second a lazy popup dropped between the pitcher and catcher, scoring a run and

sending the game into extra innings.

“It hurts because we worked hard to prepare for this game,” Striplin said. “We looked good in practice. We looked good in pregame. It just came down to a costly error by us.”

Justin Griswold led New Brockton at the plate, going 2-for-3. Justin Farris, Trey Knight, Brandon Carpenter and Hayden Smith each had a hit. Farris had two RBIs.

Trey Knight pitched eight innings and allowed just four hits and two runs. John Kelley took the loss, giving up a run in the ninth.

New Brockton, which fell to 0-4 with the loss, played Sam-son Tuesday after The Southeast Sun went to press. For more on that game, see next week’s edi-tion of The Southeast Sun.

The Gamecocks play at Elba next Tuesday. First pitch is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.

NB loses to KinstonKinston scored two runs

in the seventh inning to notch a 4-3 come-from-behind vic-tory against New Brockton last week.

The Bulldogs scored two runs in the fifth inning to tie the game at 2-2. Kinston added two runs in the seventh to take the lead. New Brockton scored two runs in the fourth inning and added a run in the fifth. Knight and Smith each went 2-for-3 with an RBI in the win. Brandon Farnon also had two hits and scored a run. Farris and Seth

Justin Farris makes contact against Kinston. Farris had three hits in two games last week.

New Brockton can’t get big hit in two one-run losses

earned the win on the mound. Justin Waters went 2-for-4 with two RBIs. Cuthbert had a hit and three RBIs. Dustin Wallace had a hit and an RBI.

“Dalton Dalrymple contin-ues to pitch very well and Tyler Martin stepped up big for us this weekend on the mound,” Enter-prise JV coach Matt Barton said. “We are starting to hit the ball better and the top of our line-up is getting on base more consis-tently.”

The Wildcats will travel to Dothan Thursday for a double-header against Northview. First pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m.

The Enterprise boys soccer team needed an alarm-clock halftime speech from coach Tom McDermott in last Thursday’s match against Carroll.

The Wildcats had sleep walked through the first half and trailed 3-1, before rallying with four quick goals after the break. Enterprise held on to win 5-3.

“The halftime discussion was about their intensity and level of play,” McDermott said. “I told them point blank to wake up.”

McDermott noticed early that the Wildcats were not playing as intense as he would have liked. Carroll, though, opened the game with a lot of passion.

“Carroll came out with adrenalin and fervor at the opening whistle,” McDermott said. “We were complacent. We possessed the ball for most of the half, but there was no punch or pizzazz to our game.”

The Eagles twice scored after two long throws to

take a 2-0 lead. Carroll increased its lead to 3-0 with a breakaway goal later in the half.

“The defense did not aggressively challenge two long throws that were put within the 6-yard line,” McDermott said. “They were put home by Carroll. The defense stood and watched the ball go long and did not get ball side as the Carroll striker approached.”

Enterprise showed a few signs of life late in the first half. Connor McDermott shaped the field with some nice dribbling and drew three Carroll defenders. That left Martin Gonzalez open on the left side. Gonzalez scored the first goal just before halftime.

That momentum carried over into the second half. Enterprise scored four goals in the period’s first 20 minutes.

The Wildcats used the same formula that worked late in the first half. Connor McDermott controlled the ball in the middle of the field and found players spread wide.

“Connor changed the intensity of the game,” McDermott said. “He brought the other players out of their temerity, and launched an all-out assault on the Carroll goal.”

Ben Maxham scored on a penalty kick early in the second half. Evan Beutler added a goal a few minutes later. Maxham put the Wildcats in front with his second goal of the night just after the Wildcats tied the score. Beutler gave Enterprise an insurance goal at the 20-minute mark after halftime.

McDermott hopes his squad can learn from the near loss.

“Enterprise, I believe, learned an important lesson regarding their first-half lackadaisical attitude,” McDermott said. “We dodged a bullet.”

Enterprise improved to 8-1-1 on the season. The Wildcats host Northview Thursday at Bates Memorial Stadium. The game is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m., immediately after the girls are finished. Enterprise senior Andrew Mills (4) gains control in traffic during a recent match.

The Enterprise junior varsity boys soccer team slopped through the mud en route to a 3-1 victory against Providence Monday night.

Playing in the sloppy conditions left by a weekend’s worth of rain had the Wildcats playing just sloppy.

The teams were tied at 1-1 at halftime. Providence had scored Enterprise’s point on an own goal.

“We started executing better in the second half,” Enterprise JV coach Mike Thompson said. “We got the ball out wide and attacked.”

Josh Parrish scored a goal in the second half on an assist from Greg Love to give

the Wildcats a 2-1 lead. Ryan Christensen added a goal later in the match for the final score.

The Wildcats, now 2-1, will play Daleville’s varsity at 5 p.m. Wednesday in Bates Memorial Stadium. Enterprise will return to The Hole Friday for a match against St. Paul’s. That match also will begin at 5 p.m.

JV girls get good record with little rest

Strong second half gives JV boys victory, small girls squad winning

The Enterprise girls junior varsity soccer team might as well be the iron men of girls soccer. The team has several players playing several minutes.

“The girls are a small squad,” Enterprise girls JV coach Susanne Markel said. “We have

had several injuries that have made all the girls have to play multiple positions. The lack of substitutes has allowed for very little rest during the game.”

Despite little rest, the girls have prospered. Enterprise carried a 4-3-2 record into Tuesday’s match against Providence.

Prior to losing 3-2 to a mixed Houston Academy squad March 10, Enterprise had won two consecutive matches.

Enterprise followed that with three matches against rival Northview. The Lady Cats lost the first contest, but have won the last two. Northview won 1-0 in the schools’ first meeting. Enterprise has taken 1-0 and 4-0 wins since then.

Harleigh Stinner scored the lone goal in the 1-0 win

against Northview. Stinner, Alex Harris, Chelsea Requijo and Andi Larese each scored goals in the 4-0 win.

Enterprise came within 30 seconds of beating Trinity. Trinity scored on a direct kick in the final 30 seconds of the game to force a 1-1 tie. Stinner scored on a goal from McConvery in the game’s ninth minute. That tie came on the heels of a 1-0 loss to Trinity in Montgomery.

Enterprise defeated Providence in Dothan 3-2. Stinner had two goals and an assist. McConvery also had an assist.

The Lady Cats exploded for a 9-0 win against Central-

Phenix City. Madeleine King, Stinner and McConvery each scored two goals. Harris, Kayla McCormick and Lisa Price each scored a goal.

Enterprise will host Central-Phenix City March 23 at 5 p.m.

The Lady Cats will host Carroll March 24.

Continued from Page 1C“I’ve had interviews where

I’ve turned down jobs because I didn’t want to start over again,” Dean said. “In this situation, I don’t have to. I go right back in and hit the ground run-ning. There’s really no starting over. I’ve just been gone for 10 months.”

Dean told the Daleville players about leaving in a meet-ing Monday. Some players already knew he had taken the McGill job. Others found out Monday.

“I told them this is the part of coaching you hate,” Dean said. “You come to a place and start from scratch and you try to build a championship pro-gram. But the perfect situation just came along.”

Dean thanked Daleville High School Principal Mike McDuffie and Daleville City Schools Superintendent Andy Kelley for their help during the transition process.

“Mr. McDuffie and Mr. Kel-ley have been great in this situa-tion,” Dean said. “They’ve done everything first class. We’ve communicated from the begin-ning.”

Kelley said he under-stood Dean’s desire to get back home and appreciated the year Dean served as Daleville’s head coach.

“We are going to miss coach Dean and his family,” Kelley said. “Coach Dean came here and brought back a spark to the Daleville football pro-gram. In one year, Coach Dean returned Daleville to one of the elite programs in the state. He did it the old-fashioned way by out-working everyone. We wish him well.”

Kelley said Daleville’s head football coaching posi-tion would be advertised for two weeks, beginning March 16. At that time, McDuffie would begin

conducting interviews. Kelley said he hopes to

have a new coach named by late April or early May, before the start of spring training.

Daleville returns 15 starters form last season’s team. In his last talk with the Daleville play-ers, Dean urged the Warhawks to continue working hard and to get behind the new coach.

“Regardless of who comes in, (the players) need to get behind that coach,” Dean said. “They have greatness in them. I think they’ve always had it.

“I don’t want them to think (the success last year) was because of me. They need to understand that it was about them. They need to rally around each other and get behind the new coach.”

Dean spent most of his coaching career in the Mobile area. Besides his time at McGill, Dean also has served as an assistant coach at Theodore and Fairhope. Dean spent one year coaching at Shades Valley in Bir-mingham.

Dean grew up in the Mobile area and graduated from Fairhope.

It may have taken 10 innings, but the youth move-ment worked for the Enter-prise softball team in last Thursday’s 7-4 win against Kinston.

The Wildcats began the game as young as possible. Seventh-grader Jordan Bull-ock started the game in the circle for the Lady Cats.

Freshman Jostlyn Hig-gerson finished the game and earned the win for Enterprise.

Neither of the young players disappointed. Bull-ock allowed just five hits and four earned runs in five innings. Higgerson opened the night by striking out the first seven batters she faced. Higgerson finished with nine strikeouts and just one hit allowed in five innings.

Enterprise softball coach Ben Thompson said that might become com-monplace for the freshman Higgerson, who spends most of her time with the junior

varsity. “Jostlyn was dealing

tonight,” Thompson said. “She will be a great addition to the staff this season.”

Bullock and Higgerson also performed at the plate. Bullock went 2-for-3 with a triple, two runs scored, two RBIs and a stolen base. Hig-gerson had a hit and two RBIs.

Fellow freshman Marley Strahan also earned some recognition at the plate. Stra-han finished the day 2-for-3 and scored two runs. Enter-prise senior Januar Page had two hits.

“It’s a great win for the girls, especially the young players that stepped in and got the job done,” Thompson said.

The Lady Cats faced Northview Tuesday night after The Southeast Sun went to press. For more on that

game, see next week’s edi-tion of The Southeast Sun.

Enterprise returns to the field Friday, hosting area foe Dothan.

Junior Varsity earns win

The youth movement carried over to the junior varsity game. The Lady Cats won 4-2 behind the pitching of Shelby Pawlik.

The Enterprise Wildcats posted an 0-3 record in a rain-shortened Honeybee Invitational last weekend.

Enterprise lost to host Baker 1-0 in the first game of pool play last Friday. Mobile Christian defeated the Lady Cats 4-1. Faith Academy beat Enterprise 7-4 Fri-day night.

The tournament was can-celled Saturday because of rain.

The Enterprise Recreation Complex will be a flurry of activ-ity this weekend as the Enterprise softball team hosts the Enterprise Classic.

The tournament welcomes 13 teams from around the Wire-grass to compete in pool play and bracket play.

Enterprise is joined this weekend by Northview, Reho-beth, Kinston, New Brockton, Smiths Station, Zion Chapel and

Charles Henderson. Playing in the JV division will be Enterprise, Smiths Station, Rehobeth, North-view and Charles Henderson.

“We are looking forward to having all these teams play here this weekend,” Enterprise softball coach Ben Thompson said. “It will be very competitive because, regardless of the classification, these are good programs with quality coaches and players.”

Three teams in the field were ranked in the latest poll. Kinston ranks tops in Class 1A. Rehobeth is ranked at No. 3 in

Class 5A. Northview ranks 10th in Class 6A.

Pool play will begin at 4 p.m. Friday and will continue until 8:30. The final round of pool play will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday.

Bracket Play begins at 11:30 a.m. Saturday. The champion-ship game is tentatively sched-uled for 4 p.m. Saturday. The JV championship is scheduled for the same time.

“I expect every game to be exciting,” Thompson said. “It doesn’t matter if you really watch softball. If you like competition, then you won’t be disappointed. We would love for everyone to come out and support the Lady Cats.”

Admission is $6. Enterprise students will be admitted free. Concessions will be available.

Enterprise Classic begins Friday

Continued from Page 1C“Levi came in and did

another excellent job for us on the mound,” Gilmer said. “He pitched six strong innings for us.”

While Tate performed on the mound, the Wildcat batters performed at the plate. All but one Enterprise player got a hit. In total, the Wildcats had 19 hits.

Chris Morris led the charge with a 3-for-5 effort. Morris hit two home runs, drove in three runs and scored five times. Trey Smith went 3-for-4 with a triple. Brett West was 3-for-5 with a double.

The second game of the doubleheader was almost as fortunate to Enterprise hitters. The Wildcats picked up right where they left off in the first game.

Enterprise scored three runs in the first inning and added four more in the second.

Holmes County was right behind with two runs in the first and four in the second.

But Enterprise faltered in the third inning and didn’t score. That was the break Holmes County needed.

The Blue Devils kept crossing the plate. Holmes County scored a run in the third, five in the fourth, four in the fifth and three in the sixth.

Enterprise added two runs in the fourth inning and four in the fifth, but it was too late. Holmes County’s lead had become insurmountable.

The Wildcats went through three pitchers in the slugfest. Jason Jordan started and pitched 1.2 innings. He allowed six runs on five hits. Tyler Warren pitched 2.1 innings of relief and allowed six runs on seven hits. Brett West took the loss after allowing seven runs on five hits in two innings.

“Today was a fun day to play the game as a hitter,” Gilmer said, “and a nightmare as a pitcher.”

Morris completed a career

day with two hits, a grand slam and five RBIs. For the day, Morris had three home runs, eight RBIs and scored eight runs.

The Enterprise High School varsity baseball team might not have played in six days going into last Friday’s doubleheader against Houston Academy, but it didn’t show on the field.

The Wildcats swept Houston Academy 7-3 and 6-3 at Donaldson Park in Enterprise.

“We hadn’t played in six days so we were a little rusty and gave up a couple of runs we shouldn’t have,” Enterprise coach Shawn Gilmer said. “But I was proud of our overall effort.”

The Wildcats opened the scoring with two runs in the first inning. Houston Academy narrowed the gap to 2-1, but Enterprise answered with three runs in the fifth, increasing its lead to 5-1.

Houston Academy scored a run in both the sixth and seventh innings, but Enterprise’s two insurance runs in the sixth clinched the victory.

William Tremlett earned the win after pitching five innings. He gave up five hits

and one run. Zach Kandle got the save after allowing just two runs on two hits in two innings.

“We had an excellent outing from William and Zach came in to get the save,” Gilmer said.

Chandler Duncan and Thomas Hughes each had two hits for the Wildcats.

The Wildcats continued their solid play in the nightcap. Enterprise jumped to a 5-0 lead after four innings before coasting home for the 6-3 win.

Ryan Tanner got the win after allowing just two hits and a run in four innings.

Trey Smith pitched three innings, allowing three hits and two runs.

“Ryan did a good job on the mound for us,” Gilmer said.

Chris Morris went 2-for-4 with a home run and a double. Duncan and Tremlett each had a double.

“Chris and Chandler continued to tear it up at the plate,” Gilmer said. “We had a lot of guys get playing time in this game and we got a chance to look at them and see what they could do.”

Delay doesn’t show in Wildcat win

Chandler Duncan went 4-for-4 in the loss, giving him six hits for the day. Thomas Hughes went 2-for-3 and William Tremlett went 2-for-4.

Enterprise opened Class 6A, Area 5 play yesterday against Dothan. For more on that game, see next week’s edition of The Southeast Sun.

The Wildcats travel to Auburn Friday to play a 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. doubleheader against Auburn and Alexandria, respectively.

The Cats return home Saturday with a 10 a.m. game against Gadsden City and a 5:30 game against Etowah.

Chris Morris runs to first in recent action. Morris trotted most of the day Saturday at Holmes County with three home runs.
