The
Schools Need Annexation
Contributed
I’ll
go ahead and say it. Our kids are back in school!
It was hard for me to say that. When I was in
school, my teachers taught me that kids belong
to goats and that humans have children!
But to say that the children are back
in school is not powerful writing. For the purpose
of this article, the kids from Tallassee are indeed
back in school. Nearly
two thousand kids are enrolled in the Tallassee
Schools for the current year.
The Tallassee High School team played its first
football game of the season in Hot O’Brien
Stadium Friday night with the home fans experiencing
the new bleachers for the first time. What a game
it was! We defeated 6A Alex City. It was a great
experience...

The
Sugar Shack

Why
is it that I can flip through a hundred channels
and find nothing interesting to watch, but when
I was a kid their was plenty to watch on just
three channels.
Now for you youngsters I did say three channels
and that was if you were lucky. Sometimes you
might just get one or two depending on which way
the antenna was pointed. The channels we picked
up were 3, 9, and 12; three being the CBS channel,
nine being ABC and 12 being NBC...

Back
in the Day
 After
an outstanding career at Moton High in Tallassee,
where his team compiled an 80-0 three-year record,
Roy Bickley played in the Black Negro League for
the Tallassee Indians.
During
his four seasons, the Indians captured back-to-back
championships in 1956-57. Roy went to Akron in
1957 and began a 10-year career with various leagues.
He batted .520 in '62 to win the League's MVP
award. Roy finished his playing days with the
Akron Tigers and Akron Pioneers in the AA League
where he made the 1964 All-Star team.

 City
addresses "droopy pants"
by
Michael Butler
The
Tallassee City Council introduced an ordinance
for appropriate dress code during the last meeting.
On September 13, the council will vote on the
proposed ordinance.
Wake-Up Call
Interview on WTLS
The
ordinance was introduced by City Councilman Ricky
Benton. It regards wearing sagging britches. Three
other muncipalities have enacted the ordinance.
Offenders would be accessed a fine. If a person
is cited, it would be similar to traffic ticket.
The person would have to attend city court.
What's
the belt for?
"I
don't care what anybody wears," Benton said.
"We don't want to walk in a restaurant or
we don't want to go down to the hospital and sit
in the corridor or anywhere with somebody's pants
down six inches below their tail...

he hasn’t been able to find another job,
