Nabors, Shaw head to mayoral runoff
Goodman, Smith head to runoff in Dadeville Districts 2, 3 and 4 also headed to runoffs By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Dadeville will have to wait a few more weeks to see who the new mayor will be to follow a retiring Joe Smith. It is a near dead heat between current council member Frank Goodman and former council member Wayne Smith. Smith garnered 315 votes to Goodman’s 314 in Tuesday’s municipal election where 823 ballots were cast, 23 of which were absentee. Goodman was a little surprised at the results. “I knew there would be a runoff,” Goodman said Tuesday night. “I am a little surprised to have made it through.” Goodman will take it, though, and has a plan for the runoff. “I see a lot of people came out to vote,” Goodman said. “I have got to get out and work real hard the next few weeks. I just want to bring Dadeville up so we have places to eat, places to work and places to relax so our young people have something to do. “It will be a struggle. It will take some time but with God, we can do it.” Smith was thankful for the support he was shown. “I feel pretty good and thankful that the voters of Dadeville have enough confidence to put me in the runoff,” Smith said. “I appreciate the confidence and support the voters showed me. I also want to See DADEVILLE • Page 6

Alex City, Dadeville, New Site voters OK Sunday alcohol sales By MITCH SNEED Editor
Alexander City, Dadeville and New Site will all have Sunday alcohol sales in the near future. Tuesday in municipal elections, voters in all three of those towns gave Sunday sales a thumbs up. In Alexander City, the measure passed by a very wide margin. Sixty-two percent of the voters voted yes, to 38 percent who voted no. Downtown businessman Henry Foy of the Wine Emporium said he had a good feeling, but was a little surprised by the margin.
“That is good news,” Foy said. “I thought it would pass, but to see the totals was much more than I thought. It will mean a lot and force some people to make decisions in how to make that work for their businesses. It’s a good thing for Alexander City.” With 2,357 voting for and just 1,464 against, most agreed with Alexander City Chamber of Commerce President Ed Collari who thinks it could bring new businesses here like it has in other cities including Pell City. Dadeville voters also overwhelmingly voted for Sunday alcohol sales. The final count showed 532 voters cast ballots for See ALCOHOL • Page 6
Political newcomer and former Russell Corp. Chief Financial Officer and Alexander City Schools Superintendent Jim Nabors received the most votes in each of the city’s six districts, but Alexander City Mayor Charles Shaw may want to adopt the Reba McEntire song “I’m a Survivor” as his campaign theme song. Despite Nabors receiving 1,838 votes to 792 for the embattled incumbent mayor, the two will meet in a runoff on Oct. 4 to decide who will lead the city over the next four years. Nabors had 47.4 percent of the votes to just 20.4 percent for Shaw. But since Nabors’ vote total was just under the 50 percent plus one vote needed, the runoff pairing is set. Mark Lamborne just missed the runoff with 741 votes or 19.1 percent while Mark Fuller was fourth in the field with 506 votes. Despite being so close to the win, Nabors said he was “tickled” with the results. “I am tickled with the results and think it is just awesome to know that the support was so See ELECTION • Page 6

DEAR ABBY: My best friend, “Kate,” approached me on a matter I’m uncomfortable with. For the last 12 years we have laughed, cried, consulted on everything we struggle with and shared our joys. Kate has a great marriage. I’m struggling with the decision to remain in mine. Recently, Kate, her husband and I were on an outing when they mentioned a menage a trois. It was obvious to me that they have done this before. Kate has been my closest friend for years, but I realize now there’s a side to her I never knew. My resistance to their suggestion seems to have had no effect on her, yet I’m wrestling with my feelings. I’m trying to ignore this and maintain the friendship we had before, but it has been difficult. I wish I had never known, but now that I do, I need help sorting it out. -MISSING MY BEST FRIEND DEAR MISSING: How do you feel about the concept of open marriage? Do you approve? Disapprove? When Kate invited you into her marriage -- which is what she and her husband did
DEAR ABBY Advice
-- the dynamic of your longtime friendship was changed. If you still felt the same about her, you wouldn’t be writing to me. If you can get past this, you can still be friends. But on some level your relationship will never be as it was before she crossed that boundary. DEAR ABBY: I recently moved in with “Tim,” a man I have been dating for more than a year. We’re very much in love and plan to be married one day. My problem is he keeps getting phone calls from old girlfriends. This morning someone called, but hung up when I picked up the phone. Until now, I have trusted Tim completely. Now I’m afraid perhaps we acted too soon in moving in together. Tim has always remained

his year is really passing by me so quickly. I dread the cold and early-dark evenings which will be along soon. Happy Birthday to William Thompson for today, then my youngest grandson Jaxon Bartley Morgan in Opelika, whose ninth birthday comes on Aug. 29. I’ve not seen him in years. Colton Wayne Wright on Coosa 4 in Nixburg will be 15 Aug. 30 and Pete and Peggie Ott’s great-grandgirl Camellia recently turned 3. Make your plans for the show coming to EPAC this Friday, Aug. 26. The performance will come from Garrett Miller and Friends, the program starts at 7 p.m. and doors open by 6:30 p.m. Garrett Miller lives in Equality on Coosa County Road 98 and has a country Southern rock band. EPAC is on Main Street, Equality, right on Highway 9. Mark your calendar for the 2016 Homecoming Service at Equality United Methodist Church on Sept. 11 beginning at 10 a.m. Guest speaker will be retired Pastor Johnny Mann, who is well loved in this area, and lunch will be served. Gospel group The Dyes will perform for the musical part of the program and you won’t want to miss them. By now, you know Ron and I are just crazy about our dogs. Little Gus has settled in well with the help of the rest of the pack. One of Ron’s former classmates, Emily Bigger Gregory in Montgomery, posts a lot on Facebook about lost and found dogs and Emily’s friend Ann found one on the Lower Wetumpka Road in Montgomery and took the puppy to the shelter there. What a beauty! Hairy like a schnauzer and just as sweet, according to Ann. We rescued this 9-month-old puppy that no one claimed, and call her Emmalee to honor Emily Gregory and her work. Our new puppy Emmalee is the sweetest thing and we are thrilled to have her, making our dogs a full six-pack. There is something so special about rescuing a shelter dog, especially when they seem so happy and appreciatively loving. I just can’t imagine the owner just leaving this sweet puppy on the roadside. Please share your love with local shelters. They can always use old towels, blankets and dog toys as well as loving foreverhomes for dogs and cats.

considers the best for every animal. Rea shared her totals for intake on animals for 2016. January through July intake was 2,440 total. Of those 1114 were cats, 75 percent of those kittens. In July alone the intake total was 417 pets (198 dogs, 218 cats). They usually care for between 250-300 pets at the Elmore shelter all the time. Can you imagine what is needed to care for that many animals each day, to feed them, house them and provide
medical care? Gosh, seems overwhelming to me; but the shelter has a great crew in Wetumpka and also volunteers to make it all work. When you adopt from the shelter, the animal comes to you having been fixed, with shots, rabies vaccination, microchip, 45 days of pet insurance and the first vet check-up included. Certainly a great deal. Until next week, keep smiling and enjoy the showers. Morgan is a community columnist for The Outlook.

The Outlook
Era of TV’s dominance in politics fading? I
n 1960 television was a new medium. Most Americans did not have televisions in the early 1950s. However, by 1960 the majority of the country had fallen in love with Lucy and TV. Presidential races had been run by party bosses in urban enclaves like New York and Boston. Political parties and party conventions were extremely important. The parties were controlled by longtime political pols and insiders. Powerful governors and senators would control their state delegations at the nominating conventions and would yield inordinate power at a critical point in the process. Machine and ward politics in the major cities of New York, Boston and Chicago dictated the choice of party nominees, especially within the Democratic Party. The Republican Party was even then more based in the Midwest and rural parts of the nation. We in the South were essentially as irrelevant in presidential politics as we are today. We were entrenched as an island of Southern Democrats based on tradition and the post-Civil War reconstruction animosity. Today, we are reliably Republicans due to race and religion. The country was changing dramatically beginning in 1960. Folks were moving west to California and south to Florida. The northeastern center of political influence was beginning to decline. The 1960 presidential contest is considered one of the most interesting, dramatic and closest in history. It was also a pivotal race
STEVE FLOWERS Columnist
because of the advent of television. The television set became the center and king of American presidential politics. In one corner of the heavyweight slugfest was the GOP standard bearer, Richard Nixon. He had been vice-president for eight years under the popular General/ President Dwight “Ike” Eisenhower. Carrying the Democratic banner was youthful Massachusetts senator and Boston-bred John Kennedy. Most political historians submit that the presidential contest hinged on and was won on television. The presidential debate between Kennedy and Nixon was televised and Americans tuned in. Kennedy was considered the underdog but he turned the race around with his sterling television appearance. He was youthful, articulate and handsome and took to the TV like a duck to water. Nixon, on the other hand, came off as a mean-spirited, scowling, bumbling alternative. Kennedy knew to wear makeup and look rested. He appeared tanned and energetic. Nixon had come into politics through the traditional mediums of newspaper and radio. In fact, most people who listened to the debate on radio said Nixon won the debate. However, he lost big on television. Nixon arrived at the television studio without proper preparation. He refused to wear makeup
as he said it was not masculine to wear powder on your face. It would have helped him. Nixon had a pronounced five o’clock shadow. He had failed to shave and he looked very sinister. He also would not smile. He appeared gaunt and pale, probably due to the fact that he had a flare up with phlebitis in his leg and as he was getting out of the car he hit his leg on the door and he was in severe pain. Kennedy won the presidency with that television debate and a new era of American politics began. Television became the king of politics and for half a century has been the dominant weapon of national politics. However, the presidential race has seen the beginning of the end to television broadcast advertising being omnipotent. In fact, it appears that paid television ads are having an inverse affect. Outsider candidates like Donald Trump have thrived with little or no paid television ads, while Jeb Bush spent over $60 million on television with very little result. Another Floridian, Marco Rubio, spent over $30 million on television. Two also rans and prominent governors, Rick Perry and Scott Walker, spent most of their campaign dough on television with no effect on their polling numbers and left the race before the first primary. This trend actually set in during the presidential race four years ago. Studies indicate that television ads had little or no effect on the Barack Obama versus Mitt Romney contest. Digital advertising is
beginning to challenge television’s dominance. Most Americans under 40 get their news online. However, older voters still watch television a lot. Nielson says Americans view an average of 36 hours a week whereas those older than 50 watch 47 hours. The era of king television in American presidential politics may be fading. Those of us older than 60 still like to read our local paper. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist. His weekly column appears in over 60 Alabama newspapers. He served 16 years in the state legislature. Steve may be reached at www. steveflowers.us.

Dadeville thank all three of the other candidates for running a good, clean campaign.” Goodman and Smith were also challenged by incumbent council member Mickey Tarpley and former mayor Mike Ingram. Dadeville voters overwhelming passed Sunday alcohol sales by a two to one margin. Goodman is giving up his spot on the city council in District 3 to run for mayor but political new comers Teneeshia Goodman-Johnson and Kevin Hall will face each other in the runoff for that spot. The remaining Dadeville council incumbents, Stephanie Kelley and Billy Monroe, were not so lucky in seeking reelection. Kelley was defeated by Betty J. Adams in District 1 who won with 82 votes to Kelley’s 21 votes. District 2 will see a runoff between Brownie Caldwell and Harold Gamble. District 4 will see a runoff between Troy Davis and Roy Mathis. District 5 will be represented by former Tallapoosa County Board of Education member H.A. “Dick” Harrelson. Jackson’s Gap might not have a runoff as incumbent mayor Jeff Walker collected more votes than anybody else. “They told me I got it by 1-2 votes. It was really close. They said that I got right over 50 percent,” Walker said. “I’m excited, real excited about moving Jacksons Gap forward. More than anything, I’m relieved. It has been a really tough campaign these last couple of weeks.” Incumbent council member Janice Glaze was defeated by Carl Pritchard 96 to 76. Camp Hill saw four candidates running for mayor and two will be in the Oct. 4 runoff. Jeff Bandy will face Ezell Woodyard Smith. “We will just have to hit it real hard for the next few weeks,” Smith said Tuesday night. “I hope that we can pull this off.” In the council race in Camp Hill, Linda Caldwell defeated William Rucker, Jr. for Place 1 261 to 147, Duane Blackwell defeated

Election widespread, in each and every district,” Nabors said. “I never expected to win in every district. That is very humbling. But it’s not over and we will go right back to work tomorrow. I can’t thank the people enough for their support and we will ask them to be with us one more time in October.” Shaw said that he figured there would be a runoff and said that he is ready to keep “beating the bushes.” “We have some great people here in Alexander City,” Shaw said. “We’ve got a great group of supporters and we will hit the ground running in the morning and see how they vote in October. … “I think we will knock on doors and keep beating the bushes and get the people out to vote for us. We will work to unify this city and see how it turns out.” Two council seats were decided by the voters outright Tuesday as Eric Brown won the seat in District 4 and Tim Funderburk was the winner in District 6. There will also be runoffs in District 1 and District 2 council races. Incumbent Bobby Tapley was the only current council member to survive Tuesday’s vote. Tapley had the most votes in District 1 with 261 or 42.1 percent, with Steve Crowe coming in second at 176 or 30 percent. Beverly White had 173 votes and finished third. Tapley, who campaigned in a tent near Cooper Recreation Center for 12 straight hours Tuesday, will face Crowe in the Oct. 4 runoff.

running his first race for public office. In Place 1, Mickey Carter also survived a challenge from Larry Wilson. Carter finished with 225 votes to 142 for Wilson. Sunday alcohol sales also passed in New Site by a narrow margin. The vote was 183 yes to 172 no votes. David Granger and Mitch Sneed contributed to this report.

“I want to thank God for giving me the strength to cover my district over the last 6 weeks,” Tapley said. “I also want to thank my family, friends, and supporters for all their help. A big thanks for everyone who welcomed me into their homes. Although Beverly White fell short in this election, I would like to thank her for the work she has done. I look forward to Oct. 4th and will continue to work hard for the great folks of District 1.” Crowe also thanked his supporters and said he will go back to work Wednesday morning. “With three candidates I knew it would be tough to get a majority,” Crowe said. “But we are still alive and will go back to work, knocking on doors and meeting with the people. I look for their support on Oct. 4.” Buffy Colvin got the most votes in District 2, finishing with 264 votes, with Jacob Meacham getting 221 votes. Colvin’s 45.6 percent wasn’t enough to win the race, so Colvin and Meacham will be in a runoff. Incumbent Sherry-Ellison Simpson was third in the race with 94 votes. Both Meacham and Colvin thanked the voters and said they were ready to get back to work and make their case to the people of Alexander City. In District 4, Brown received 568 votes which was 68.8 percent. Frank Tapley had 171 votes while incumbent Billy Ray Wall received 87 votes. Scott Hardy in District 3 and Tommy Spraggins in District 5 were unopposed and were declared the winners of their races previously.

resolution was put on the ballot. “But at the same time, I don’t want to ram it down someone’s throat. Letting the people decide is the right thing.” Sunday Sales also passed in New Site by a narrow margin. The vote was 183 yes to 172 no votes. County voters will get the chance to have their say in November’s General Election as the same question will be on the ballot at that time.

the Russell Lands corporate headquarters on Willow Point Road. According to Gunn, The Vegabonds, which include Alexander City native Richard Forehand on guitar and vocals, will headline the show. “We’ve had them down here a few times and we decided to make them the headliner this year and see how it goes,” Gunn said. “They’re a good group of guys that play some good music, including a lot of original stuff now. The Vegabonds are Forehand, Daniel Allen on lead vocals, Paul Bruens on bass, Beau Cooper on keyboards and vocals and Bryan Harris on Drums. The band formed in Auburn, but is currently working out of Nashville. The Vegabonds will soon release their first album since 2012’s “Southern Sons” entitled “What We’re Made Of,” featuring the single “Oh My Lord.” The album was produced by two-time Grammy-nominated producer and engineer Tom Tapley, who has worked on recordings by such artists as Elton John, Bruce Springsteen and Destiny’s Child. Gunn said that The Bama Gamblers, formed in Auburn in 2010, are “southern rockers.” “They have that southern rock sound that we love,” said Gunn. “They do some Allman Brothers, some Lynyrd Skynyrd with a little bit of jam thrown in.” The Bama Gamblers released “Iron Mountain,” a recording of 10 original songs, in 2014 on Wonder
Dog Records. The CD was mastered by Rodney Mills, who has worked with southern rock greats the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Atlanta Rhythm Section. The Bama Gamblers are Bo Flynn on lead vocals and bass guitar, Matt Alemany on guitar and vocals, Eric Baath on keyboards and Hunter “Action” Jackson on drums. Local favorite Rexton Lee, an Alexander City native, gets the concert started at 6 p.m. “Rexton’s a local guy and he’ll either be solo or have another guitarist with him,” Gunn said. “He’s a favorite around here and he’ll do a lot of his original stuff and some covers.” Lee will be followed by The Bank Walkers, another group of Alexander City natives. “The Bank Walkers do a lot of covers ranging from Merle Haggard to Tom Petty,” Gunn said. “They’ll definitely do a good variety of songs and they have a good sound.” The Bank Walkers are Steve Forehand (father of The Vegabonds’ Richard Forehand) on lead vocals, bass and guitar, Roger Holliday on vocals and rhythm guitar, David Sturdivant on drums and Brian Bice on lead guitar. Gunn said attendees are welcome to bring coolers to the show and their will be concessions – traditional food and non-alcoholic beverages – from Potz and Panz.

10 can’t miss games in CFB opening weekend
IT’S GAME TIME
I
fully realize several of these games overlap on Saturday, so I suggest employing a picture in picture strategy if your television has the capability. If not, you can always watch one game on TV, one on your phone and another on your PC at the same time. It’s normal that I do that… Right? 10. Kansas State at No. 8 Stanford (Friday, Sept. 2 at 8 p.m. on FS1) – Bill Snyder will have the Wildcats very prepared and ready to play. It’s also a great opportunity to watch Heisman candidate Christian McCaffrey. He makes the list by himself. 9. No. 10 Notre Dame at Texas (Sunday, Sept. 4 at 6:30 p.m. on ABC) – Charlie Strong has yet to put together a winning season after two years in Austin. He won’t return after a third losing season. This game is huge for Longhorn pride. 8. No. 5 LSU vs. Wisconsin at Lambeau Field (Saturday, Sept. 3 at 2:30 p.m. on ABC) – Quite frankly, I’m not expecting this game to be very thrilling, but Leonard Fournette is usually worth the price of admission. Besides, the game is being played at Lambeau Field. Isn’t that enough reason to watch? 7. No. 18 Georgia vs. No. 22 North Carolina at the Georgia Dome (Saturday, Sept. 3 at 4:30 p.m. on ESPN) – It’s Kirby’s debut as he finally stands on his own two feet. It’s also a good matchup to see what both teams have right out of the gate. 6. No. 16 UCLA at Texas A&M (Saturday, Sept. 3 at 2:30 p.m. on CBS) – The Aggies soundly defeated a highly ranked PAC 12 team to open 2015. Will history repeat itself? You’ll have to tune in to find out. 5. South Carolina at Vanderbilt (Thursday, Sept. 1 at 7 p.m. on ESPN) – I realize this isn’t exactly a clash of the Titans, but this game gets special consideration for being the first SEC game of the season. 4. No. 20 USC vs. No. 1 Alabama at AT&T Stadium (Saturday, Sept. 3 at 7 p.m. on ABC) – It’s usually mustsee TV anytime the top team in the country plays another ranked opponent. I, personally, believe Alabama wins this game comfortably, but a matchup of two highly ranked traditional powers is hard to resist. 3. No. 3 Oklahoma vs. No. 15 Houston at NRG Stadium (Saturday, Sept 3. at 11 a.m. on ABC) – The Cougars are desperate to prove they belong among the big boys in college football. The Sooners will be motivated to put a group of interlopers back in their place. This could be one of the more entertaining games all weekend. 2. No. 11 Ole Miss vs. No. 4 Florida State in Orlando (Monday, Sept. 5 at 7 p.m. on ESPN) – This is the most highly ranked matchup of the weekend. It could definitely have playoff implications. I’m very interested to see how the off-season turmoil has affected the Rebels. I’m also fascinated to see how the Seminoles function with a redshirt freshman at QB. 1. No. 2 Clemson at Auburn (Saturday, Sept. 3 at 8 p.m. on ESPN) – OK, I’m a little biased, but this has all the makings of a thrilling confrontation. Clemson boasts a Heisman candidate at QB and above average talent at every skill position. Auburn is highly motivated to gain back some measure of respect. There’s absolutely no question the Tigers will win. Andy Graham writes a regular sports column for Tallapoosa Publishers.

Wildcats open season Friday night at Central-Clay By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor
While the 2016 high school football season started last week for some schools, this Friday night will be the first time Benjamin Russell takes to the field when they face Central-Clay in their first away game in Lineville. Wildcats head football coach Danny Horn is glad to have that extra week of preparation for the season. “I think we needed the extra week before we played,” he said. “Last week I don’t think we were ready. I think waiting until this week is going to help us get a little bit better to get ready for the first game.” However, the Central-Clay County Volunteers come into Friday’s face off with a win under their belts after defeating Munford 14-10 last week. “They’ve got really, really good, skilled people,” Horn said. “They’ve got as good people as I think we’ll see all year long. They’re well coached and fundamentally sound. They’re a lot better this year than they were last year.” The Wildcats coach also expects facing Central-Clay on the Volunteers’ own field will be a challenge.
“We’ve got to line up the play,” Horn said. “If we play hard and we play well we’ve got a chance.” Given the Volunteers’ win, the Wildcats coach said going ahead and opening their season last week was a definite advantage for them, which could carry over this week. “Usually you’re going to improve between your first and second game more than any game,” Horn said. “But I think that extra week helped us prepare and get us ready for that first game.” Even with that extra practice time, the Wildcats coach remains somewhat uncertain about how his team will perform Friday. “That first game you’ve always got a lot of question marks,” Horn said. “But we’ll find out here Friday about some of the answers, and we may not find out some of them until later on. I think this team will get better as the year goes on.” That will be an important goal for Benjamin Russell to achieve. “Every team on our schedule won last week except Pelham,” Horn said, “and then Homewood came back and beat them in the fourth quarter.”
Thus, the Wildcats will need to bring their A game every week this season. “I’ve had teams that were good enough to play bad and still win,” Horn said. “But this team’s not good enough to play bad and still win. That’s just the facts. We’ll have to play well every game to have a chance to win.” To ensure the Wildcats play their best, Horn recently made adjustments to the team’s starting lineup. “We had to trim it last week,” the coach said. “We had an intersquad scrimmage and we’ve made adjustments since then.” Horn hesitated to expand on those adjustments. However, he pointed out, they boil down to simplicity. “We’re trying to keep things simple this first game and try to execute what we’ve got,” the coach said. Part of Horn’s plan is to use players on both the offensive and defensive lines to give them more experience on the field. “As the year goes on they’ll gain more experience,” Horn said. “But right now there are some that are just not quite ready.”
The coach is eager to see what his younger team can do. “Last year I had a pretty good idea,” Horn said. “We had some veteran players come back and I knew what they could do. This year, out of 22 positions we’ve got 18 new starters and we’ve got a team that doesn’t have a whole lot of game experience.” While athletes playing both the O-line and D-line is common at some area schools, Horn said it’s not very common at the 6A level. “We’re a smaller 6A school,” Horn said. “Some years we just don’t have the players to go just one way. This is just one of those years where we don’t.” Nonetheless, Horn said the Wildcats are excited about heading to Lineville for their first game of the season this week. “You get tired of practicing against yourselves in football practice,” the coach said. “If you’re a competitor you want to go out and play against another opponent.” Kickoff of the matchup between Benjamin Russell and Central-Clay County is at 7 p.m. Friday at Volunteer Stadium.

T
he Alexander City Parks and Recreation 50+ bus will be traveling again this coming Friday with Group B travelers. We’ll be dining together and spend time in fellowship with one another. Currently, both A and B Travel groups are currently filled. We have added a Group C, which will be our Substitute Travelers. This means that if no one from the main groups can go on their scheduled trips then we will inform the subs to see if they are interested in going. Substitute tickets are $8 per person, which is a one-time fee to participate. Quotes and Recipe Share starts in September. Check your calendar and save the date! Sept. 7 and Sept. 23 from 10:30 till 11:30. Carlisle’s is Sept. 7 and Catherine’s is on Sept. 23. Hope you can come. It’s never too early to mark your calendars for Oktoberfest 2016.

Oktoberfest meeting on Sept. 2 at 10 a.m. if you want to participate in helping. In September, there will be two Sit and Fit classes
CORLEY HOLT Senior Moments

A special thank you goes to April Turner from Chapman Health Care for providing wonderful fruits, bagels and many rounds of Bingo with prizes. All participants really had a great time. Reason number 7 for having a senior activity center in our area. Staying socially active and maintaining interpersonal relationships can help you maintain good physical and emotional health and cognitive func-
tion. This is certainly a must for those who have moved to this area and are retired. Making friends isn’t as easy as it was when we were young. Being a part of any type of organization is a worthy investment for new residents. Make your connections today! Until next time keep a smile on your face and love in your heart. Holt writes about the events and people of the Alexander City Parks and Recreation Department’s 50+ Club.
