Could we lose our state’s parks?
Inmate from Alex City dies in accident Moon was part of a inmate road crew By Mitch Sneed
State director says that all parks are still in danger if funds are cut
Outlook Editor
An Alexander City man working as a part of an inmate road crew was killed Wednesday afternoon after being struck by a tractor-trailer truck. Braxton Darquail Moon, 21, of Alexander City was pronounced dead at the scene of a crash on I-65 near the 194-mile marker in Autauga County. According to Alabama Law Enforcement Agency officials at about 1:30 p.m., Moon was struck by a 2003 Peterbilt tractor-trailer while assisting with road maintenance. He was an inmate with the Alabama Department of Corrections. A 2006 Ford F-750 being used by the road crew was struck as well. ALEA’s Sgt. Steve Jarrett announced that the driver of the truck had been arrested. Michel Landin ,36, of Lehigh Acres, Florida was arrested by Alabama State Trooper traffic homicide investigators late Wednesday evening. Jarrett said that Landin was charged with felony leaving the scene of an accident. He was placed in the Autauga County jail under a $30,000 bond. Moon had been serving a 120-month sentence after entering a guilty plea on robbery and theft charges on March 27, 2013. He was assigned to the Frank Lee Community Work Center in Deatsville. Community work center inmates are routinely assigned city, county and state government work details during the day, according to Department of Corrections officials.

Realtor of the Year
Bobby Speake honored by realty association By Corey Arwood Outlook Staff Writer
An Alexander City Realtor and business owner was named the 2015 Realtor of the Year by the Lake Martin Area Association of Realtors. Bobby Speake has been in the real estate business for almost 40 years and has owned and operated Speake Realty for more than 25 of those. He said he owes everything to perseverance. “I came up as a poor boy in the country,” Speake said. Born and raised on a farm in the Our Town area, he said his past directly influenced his outlook and business principles.
In the early 60s he served time in the Air Force. After that he owned and ran a store in Our Town, which he would later sell and enter real estate. “No. 1 is, I always treat everybody right,
the same, white, black, poor, rich. The same, whatever,” said Speake. Sherry Peavy is president of LMAAR and an agent at Speake Realty. She has worked with Speake for about 17
Alabama State Parks Director Gregory Lein is once again concerned about the potential “collapse” of the Alabama state park system should the budget eventually adopted by the Alabama Legislature continue that body’s history of transfers from the park system to the state’s General Fund. In April of this year, Lein announced that 15 of the 22 parks in the state system would close Oct. 1 should a budget that proposed an $11.4 million transfer from the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, all but $1 million of which would come from state parks, become reality. Those parks that would remain open, Lein said at the time, were those that had consistently at least broken even over the last three years. That group included Wind Creek State Park, located on Lake Martin south of Alexander City off Alabama Highway 128. Wind Creek is a large contributor to the Alexander City economy. It had almost 235,000 visitors in 2014 and almost 140,000 of those stayed overnight for at least one night. Over this year’s seven-day Memorial Day week, the park drew 10,564 campers, a 25.8 percent increase over 2014. Experts with the National Parks Service say that a person who visits a park spends anywhere from $74 to $201 per day in the community closest to the park. If those numbers are accurate for state parks – even at the low end – Wind Creek brings in $1.7 million to the local economy from visitors. The park itself also spent $394,000 locally and paid approximately $557,000 in salaries in 2014. In recent days, Lein has renewed his warning about potential park closures, this time with language that sounds a bit more ominous. “The budget that was vetoed in the regular session, we know now (it) had the potential to collapse the whole park system,” Lein said. Lein said the reason is transfers from ADCNR’s budget that have taken place over the last four years. “The Legislature has, through transfers, taken more than $27 million from (ADCNR’s) budget over the last four years,” Lein said. “Of course,

Families are encouraged to register their three- and four-year-olds for the free school readiness program offered by Alexander City Schools. Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters, or HIPPY, has expanded its operations and is now accepting more families than previous years. Barbara Thompson, director of HIPPY, said registration is desired as soon as possible since the program is designed to run alongside of the regular school year. “We want them as quickly as we can, so we can get them started,” Thompson said. The announcement of the program’s expansion was delayed until now, she said, because they were late getting notified of funding from Early

Childhood in Montgomery. The 30-week program starts in mid September, ends in the summer and the materials are provided free of charge. There is a monthly meeting at Jim Pearson Elementary School, but the rest of the weekly work is done at home. Thompson said that the goal of HIPPY is to have children ready for kindergarten, and for their parents to play an active role in that process. “It’s a benefit for the parents and the children,” said Thompson. HIPPY has been in Alexander City since 2008, but Thompson said the program is still not widely known. She said the goal for this year is to serve 100 families. Registration for the program is done on an individual basis by calling (256) 329-2700.

The Outlook DEAR ABBY: My sister-in-law quit her job and moved into my in-laws’ basement six years ago. I think there may have been an emotional breakdown having to do with her work. I also think it upsets my motherin-law to have her adult daughter living this life. Mom isn’t willing to ask her to move out or even discuss the situation. This was fine until my sister-in-law told my 10-year-old daughter that she lives with her parents because “they need her to take care of them.” Nothing could be further from the truth! My in-laws are fine on their own. My concern is that this is sending a bad message to my daughter, and she will think she will need to take care of her father and me in 30 years. I have told my daughter that kids do not need to move back in with their parents -- even if they need help. My question is, should I tell my mother-in-law about this or just drop it? -- TAKEN ABACK IN NEVADA
DEAR ABBY Advice
DEAR TAKEN ABACK: Your sister-in-law may have justified her living with her parents in order to save face after having been asked about why she was living in their basement. Because you have dealt with this with your daughter and the subject is a sensitive one with your mother-in-law, my advice is to let it go. DEAR ABBY: Can you please help me understand the rule of etiquette when borrowing a wedding dress? The owner was fully aware that the bride intended to alter it. It was obvious that it would need to be made several sizes smaller and shortened. Also, the bride stated clearly that she intended
to lower the neckline and remove the sleeves. Everyone seemed happy the gown was being used again after 25 years of being in a box. After the wedding, the dress was professionally cleaned, boxed and returned to the owner. She is now livid and contends that the dress should have been returned in its original state -- just like it was loaned. I’d appreciate your help settling this family dispute. How should this work? -BORROWING TROUBLE IN THE MIDWEST DEAR BORROWING TROUBLE: It is a fact of life that when cloth is excised so a garment can be made “several sizes smaller,” it cannot be put back in its original condition. If that was the expectation of the owner, it was unrealistic. The bride did the right thing by having the wedding gown professionally cleaned and boxed, and it shouldn’t be necessary for her to make any apologies.
Hunter safety class this weekend Obituaries By Corey Arwood Outlook Staff Writer
Hunting season is closing in, and for those that still need a license, or who are just interested in learning more about the sport, there will be a hunter education course held over the weekend. Classes will be at the Hackneyville Community Center at 7:30 in the morning on Saturday, with another hands-on course Sunday beginning at 1:30 in the afternoon. All equipment and materials will be provided, however anyone wanting to attend must first register at outdooralabama.com. Jerry Brown, course coordinator, said that Saturday’s class should include rules and regulations explained by con-
servation officers, and cover hunter etiquette, wildlife biology, basics of gun safety, and a brief how-to on first aid and survival. Brown said that this is one of the few areas left in Alabama that still has an applied component to the course, largely due to the ease of applying online, cutting into attendance numbers. There will be blood trailing and firing exercises on Sunday, along with tree stand safety and a skeet shoot at ranges owned by Brown. Driving directions will be given on Saturday. Brown said that both young and old alike attend the courses, and he said that to give instructors their due the courses are recognized as among the best in the state.

Bankruptcy Uncontested Divorce Personal Injury
DEAR ABBY: A few years ago, my sister-in-law gave me a beautiful watch for Christmas. It became my favorite accessory for any dressy occasion. However, a year ago her brother and I divorced. I still have the watch and would love to wear it, but I’m not sure if it would be appropriate or if I should give it away. Thanks for your input. -- TORN IN DECATUR, ILL. DEAR TORN: The watch was given to you with affection, and even if you wear it in your ex-husband’s presence, the chances are small that he would realize who it was from. Because you like it, wear it and enjoy it. There is nothing inappropriate about doing so.

Our
Opinion
Tid bits from a community newspaper man
Respect alone should have taken P care of saggy pants
N
ews that the Dadeville City Council will be exploring an ordinance to ban the practice of men wearing their pants below their hips, thus exposing their underwear, was met with quite a stir on The Outlook’s website as well as on social media. This is an issue that has been addressed by municipalities and in courtrooms across the nation. While some call it a fashion trend that is no different than wearing camouflage or ripped jeans, others call “sagging” indecent exposure and an insult to others who are forced to look at undergarments or exposed skin. Instead of jumping on a soapbox one way or another, we yield to the Oval Office. When the name of President Barack Obama is mentioned, it too sparks varying reactions, much like sagging pants. But in this case, it’s hard to argue with the Commander in Chief’s comments regarding the practice. “Here’s my attitude: I think passing a law about people wearing sagging pants is a waste of time,” Obama said in a 2013 interview. “We should be focused on creating jobs, improving our schools, getting health care, dealing with the war in Iraq. Any public official who is worrying about sagging pants probably needs to spend some time focusing on real problems out there. “Having said that, brothers should pull up their pants. You’re walking by your mother, your grandmother, and your underwear is showing. … What’s wrong with that? Come on. There are some issues that we face that you don’t have to pass a law [against], but that doesn’t mean folks can’t have some sense and some respect for other people. And, you know, some people might not want to see your underwear — I’m one of them.” Obama also said that employers who ban sagging pants or similarly provocative fashions in the workplace are well within their rights. It’s a shame that laws are needed for this kind of thing. It’s a greater shame that respect alone for one’s self – and for others – doesn’t take care of the problem.

The
utting out a newspaper is often a whirlwind like no other in the world. Deadlines often force us to make quick decisions on what we have time to write and get into the pages of the paper and what we let slide until another day. Unfortunately, another day comes and we are dealt another mountain of events and happenings and the “little” things are buried under mountains of notes on napkins, Post-it notes and reporter’s pads and sometimes don’t make it to print. So I have made a concerted effort to try keep these tidbits in a central location so that they can be shared with you all. Today is your lucky day. I hope you enjoy some of those things that were almost lost on the cutting room floor. POLICE ROUNDUP: Wednesday night was another evening where the police scanner provided cheap entertainment. “Any units near Hillabee Street, we’ve had two calls reporting a horse running down the road.” Yes, right here in the city, we had a horse on the loose. Multiple units responded and after a few minutes, the runaway horse was spotted near the railroad tracks, stopped and the owner not far behind. The animal was turned over to the owner and taken back home. All in a night’s work for local cowboys. …I mean officers. WHAT’S IN A NAME: Tallapoosa County is not alone when it comes to colorful street names. But Wednesday on a run to cover a story, I ran across
MITCH SNEED Editor
an interesting intersection. Out towards New Site, I spotted a sign where Cowpens Road and Cuss Fork Road intersect. I’d love to know the origin of those names. Shouldn’t be surprised. We do live in a county where Peckerwood Road, Booger Hollow Road, Frog Eye, Four Deer Hollow, Bicycle Road, Whataview Drive and Squirrel Island Road exist. So no name should surprise us at all. SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE: In recent months we have seen several new Facebook pages emerge to try to keep the public informed of happenings of government agencies and officials. Among the latest entries are pages for the Alexander City Mayor’s Office and one called Tallapoosa Board. The Tallapoosa Board page was put up by Casey Davis with the Tallapoosa County Board of Education and tracks many activities that are going on in county schools. We’ve found it to be very useful. Information is a great thing for those who hope to get to know all they can about our community. WAKE UP CALL: All of us have had times when our kids were slow to wake up and reluctant to get up and get ready to go to school. There are plenty of methods that parents use to remedy that situation, from loud music, banging on pots
and pans to a pitcher of ice water being poured over the unsuspecting sleepy head. As I listened to the police scanner on the second day of classes in Alexander City, I heard this call: “Need a unit to respond to a residence at 123 Easy Street (street name changed). Got a call from the resident who said that his grandson is being combative, refusing to get up and get ready for school.” At first my thoughts were that our law enforcement officials have more important things to do than to be getting kids out of bed. But after thinking about it, can you imagine the look on the face of the grandson when one of Alexander City’s finest showed up to roust him from his bed? I’d be willing to bet that the sluggish student will think twice before rolling over and covering his head the next time that his grandfather calls in the morning. I imagine that was quite a life lesson. NOW POSTING: Despite asking, I was never able to get a definitive answer on what city jobs were posted to the public and which ones were not. No one seemed to know the answer to the questions. From what I have observed it was hit or miss at best. With that said, since we raised the question there have been three such postings for open jobs at the city in the last two weeks alone and it appears that all jobs are being advertised. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence. Mitch Sneed is the editor of The Outlook.

Letters to the Editor
Reader loves the legacy created by Austin Holley and his furniture store Dear Editor, Congratulations to Holley Home Furniture for 55 years of service. The company success is due largely to Mr. Austin Holley and his excellent staff over the years. Mr. Austin Holley is a great inspiration to our community and beyond. Great businessmen like Mr. Holley are among the rarity today. His genuiness and smiling face made every customer feel welcome and important at Holley Home Furniture. As a young girl, I can recall numerous occasions when my mother would purchase furniture, mattresses and other items at his store. I remember the friendliness of his staff and how nice they were delivering items to our apartment. Mother believed in buying quality furniture and Mr. Austin guaranteed his merchandise. He always took time to walk over to his displays and patiently wait for customers to choose. Also, Mother would buy the Happy Home Flavoring from the store to make delicious pies and cakes. When I got grown, I purchased furniture from Holley Home Furniture. Mr. Holley looked at my application, saw my name and started naming many of my relatives who were also customers. He would smile and ask how each one was doing and if they were still fishing, working, etc. Mr. Austin never met many people coming in the store that he didn’t befriend. A situation came up that caused me to be off work, and I was unable to pay for my furniture bill
on time. It bothered me that I had merchandise unpaid for in my apartment. My mother instilled in us to pay your bills and maintain good standing with creditors. I went to Mr. Austin, told him my situation and promised that I would pay as soon as I could. He smiled and never once did he hound me for payments. Often, I would then go to the store and let him know that I had not forgotten. I was willing to let the store have the furniture back and Mr. Austin told me not to worry, just keep in touch concerning my situation. Finally, the day came when I could go into Holley Home Furniture, thank Mr. Austin for helping me and pay every dollar that I owed. Mr. Austin Holley and his family became special to me. Whenever I would see him around town, it often reminds me how kind hearted he was to me when I could not pay my bill on time. It’s been over many-many years since this incident happened, yet even today I can still say Mr. Austin Holley and his lovely wife are dear to me. Last time I saw him, he had hurt his arm yet he was still smiling and i thank him for helping me. I believe Mr. Austin has instilled great value in his son Ralph and others. My prayer is that his legacy will continue for generations to come. Teresa Moten Alex City

Horoscope
JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS ARIES (March 21-April 19) --You might have an unusual amount of demands coming from others. You will want to con¿rm that you are on the same page as them; otherwise, you could witness some uproar. A meeting will be the perfect way to make what you want happen. Tonight: TGIF! TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --You might feel as if you are being pulled in two different directions. You have the ability to charm someone into following your chosen path. Despite this ability, give this person the space to make his or her own choices. Be willing to listen. Tonight: You are the lead actor. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --You could be in the position of having to explain your perspective to someone who has chosen to look at a situation from a different angle. If you are careful and choose the right words, you will be successful in getting this person to see your vision. Tonight: Try a new approach. CANCER (June 21-July 22) --One-on-one relating will reveal many differences between you and someone else. Respect your different views, and know that all of them are coming from a grounded place. Understand what your limits are with this person. Tonight: How about a close encounter? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --Defer to others. If you think an idea is off, listen to the logic behind it. If you still feel the same, how you share it will determine its fate. You might want to rethink your approach. Others respond better to you because of your unique style. Tonight: Join a loved one for TGIF! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --Your originality marks your decisions. You don’t need to get to the bottom of a problem right now; just accept it and move on. Let others fuss. Schedule an appointment to get your hair cut or a checkup with your dentist. Focus on yourself
right now. Tonight: An easy pace. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) --You have an idea that you might not want to share yet, but somehow it could get out. Recognize how many different ways you can handle this information leak. You also might want to ¿nd out the source. Tonight: Dip into the social whirlwind around you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) --You could be in the position of handling a lot of personal matters. Why they have landed on your plate might be less important than the reason for their existence in the ¿rst place. Put out the ¿re, then ¿nd out who set it. Remain centered in the midst of a mini-crisis. Tonight: As you like it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) --Conversations swirl around you. Some of the talk might be negative, while some commentaries will express con¿dence and caring. What you choose to listen to will indicate what kind of mood you are in. Open up to new possibilities. Tonight: Party the night away. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --You have a solid understanding of ¿nances that generally saves you and points to making good choices. However, what sounds good could turn out to be disastrous. Your antennae might not be picking up the implications of what is occurring. Tonight: Treat a pal. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) --Use the day and the upcoming Full Moon to energize yourself to the max. When you are positive and revitalized, you’ll feel as if you can accomplish anything. Do your best to remain upbeat no matter what comes down your path. Tonight: Head in a new direction. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) --You could be picking up on so much pessimism that you might want to disappear. Isolating yourself will help, yet you will have little say in the events that follow. What is more important to you -- being involved, or staying away from negativity?

Peavy said that Speake works well with people, and, along with his vast experience in the industry, he was well qualified to receive the title. Outside of real estate Speake is a member of the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce, First Baptist Church and a supporter of the Baptist Children’s Home and Gateway to Education. Speake said that he considers himself blessed, but, as far as his own personal successes go, perseverance was key. He imparts that advice to others as well. “It’s easy to discouraged,” Speak said “If you like what your doing, there’s gonna be some down days. Not everything’s gonna be rosy. Persevere.”
not all that money has come from state parks. Still, all our reserve money is gone and bad things will happen when they do this (transfer) again. I won’t be able to control what happens to the system.” Of that $27 million, the majority – more than $25 million or 92 percent – came from either state parks or the marine police. Lein’s concern is based on an assumption that the budget proposed by the Senate in the regular legislative session, which would have transferred $9.2 million from parks in four quarterly transfers, eventually comes to pass. “Our peak cash balance is normally Oct. 1 and we expect it to be around $4 million,” Lein said. “Transfer $2.3 million from the $4 million and we have $1.7 million to operate on. Payroll costs about $1 million a

month. Income is still coming in from guests but we are entering the lean period of visitation in fall and then very lean in winter. If this doesn’t crash our fund’s balance by Jan. 1, the second quarterly transfer of $2.3 million is sure to do so.” Lein said that September and October are typically the last months when state parks revenue exceeds expenditures. November through March, he said, represent months when expenditures exceed revenue and the parks rely on profits from the previous summer. April begins a “break-even” period and transitions to the “profit period” between May and September-October. In the end, Lein said what he hopes to see for the parks in the regular session is for them to be funded at a level equal to that of last year or greater. “Anything short of level funding will harm
continued from page 1 the parks program because previous transfers have exhausted our reserve funds,” Lein said. “Because we cannot predict exact revenues over the next few months, we cannot exactly predict what level of transfer causes great harm, but not collapse of the system. We will run the parks until we can no longer financially do so.” The Alabama State Parks system was created in 1939. Currently, there are 22 parks totaling approximately 47,000 acres in the system. There are five resort parks with lodge, restaurant and meeting facilities and 10 with modern cottages and campgrounds. Wind Creek State Park features 1,445 acres adjacent to Lake Martin. The park features 586 campsites and offers ample opportunities to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities.

TIGERS SURGE PAST RIVAL REBELS Dadeville opens big lead early, as Rebels can’t complete comeback By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor
REELTOWN – The Class 4A No. 4 Dadeville Tigers jumped out to a 21-0 lead that was too much to overcome for the Class 2A No. 4 Reeltown Rebels, as the Tigers topped their rivals 40-13 on Thursday at Nix Webster O’Neal Stadium in Reeltown. Dadeville (1-0) jumped out to a 7-0 lead early in the first quarter when quarterback ShawnDarius Jennings went in from 3-yards out and the Margarius Buchanan extra point gave the Tigers a 7-0 lead. After forcing a Reeltown (1-1) punt, Dadeville capped a drive that started in Rebel territory with a 40-yard touchdown pass from Jennings to Tyreke Stone raising the mark to 14-0 with 5:18 left in the first quarter. The Tigers, again, added to the lead early in the second when a Jennings pass went through the hands of teammate Phillip Russell and into the hands of Stone, who raced up the Rebel sideline 44 yards for the score. With the point after, Dadeville pushed ahead 21-0 with 9:13 left in the first half. Reeltown countered two plays later. Senior running back Cody Martin took the sweep up the home sideline for a 67-yard score. Kiyaski Taylor added the extra point making it 21-7 with 8:37 left in the second. The Tigers punched right back on the following drive with a 22-yard touchdown by Kadori Glenn capping off a 44-yard drive and making it a 28-7 game with 6:32 left. The Rebels cut the deficit to 15 before the break, when quarterback Takoreyon Edwards scored on a 9-yard run. But the extra point was blocked by Jennings to make it 28-13 game with 1:04 left in the second. Reeltown threatened to make it a one-score game with 29 seconds left in the third, driving all the way to the Dadeville 16 yard line. But a fumble by Reeltown’s Jamon Matthews was recovered by Dadeville’s Trevorous Johnson to end any further threats from the Rebels. Dadeville’s DJ Pearson scored on a 6-yard run in the fourth, and Tiger cornerback Isaiah Hicks returned an interception 52 yards for a touchdown for the final two Tigers’ scores.

Horseshoe Bend falls 33-7 to Wadley in season opener By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor
Mitch Sneed / The Outlook
Horseshoe Bend running back Drew Hill looks for room to run during Thursday’s season opener at Wadley.
The regular season didn't get off to the kind of start the Horseshoe Bend Generals had in mind in Wadley. Wadley lined up in a full house backfield and for most of the night ran the ball right down the throats of the Generals, mixing in a timely pass, in a 33-7 win Thursday night. The Generals only score came on a 35-yard, third quarter run by junior running back Drew Hill. That TD came with 1:16 left in the third, after the Generals had fallen behind 33-0. Wadley Quarterback Coby Nunn threw for a touchdown and ran for one to pace the Bulldogs to the win. Nunn had a first-quarter 50-yard scoring strike to Dakota Brown and ran for a 51-yard touchdown with 3:59 left in the first half. Tyrese Sheppard scored on an 11-yard pass from Conner Fordham
and ran 31 yards for a score. Wadley’s Kamaury Avery, who had 97 yards on 12 carries, scored the Bulldogs’ only second half touchdown on a 6-yard run with 7:50 left in the third quarter. The issue wasn't so much the defense for the Generals, even though they gave up four first half touchdowns. Horseshoe Bend could never seem to mount any kind of offensive threat in the first half, meaning the defense was on the field most of the night. The longest Generals’ drive in the first half was a 7-play, 34-yard drive that stalled at the Wadley 38. Horseshoe Bend (0-1) will travel to play Lanett Sept. 4. Wadley will travel to play Ragland next week. For a full recap of Thursday’s game, see the weekend edition of Sports Extra.
CACC to start collegiate bass fishing club By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor
Central Alabama Community College is laying the foundations for a program it hopes will become a long tradition. CACC held its first meeting regarding its new BASS fishing club on Wednesday at the Betty Carol Graham Technology Center. Brett Pritchard, coordinator of public and high school relations at CACC, will serve as the sponsor for the club program. “Today, we wanted to see what our interest level was, and we had a good turnout. We also have some other kids that are interested that couldn’t attend because they had class, but we’ve got their information,” Pritchard said. “Bass fishing has become really competitive at the collegiate and high school level. It’s a great recruiting tool for our school. A lot of kids want to be a part of that and be in a competition where it’s an individualized sport like fishing or even golf.” Pritchard said the club will be open to all CACC students. “This is open to both male and females, so we’re also going to have some female anglers on here,” Pritchard said, “It’s a diverse club and open to everybody. We’re just hoping to grow this thing and make it really competitive.” The new team will be a club sport and will participate in the BASS College Bass Series, putting it up against some of the biggest colleges and universities in the country.

Central Alabama Community College’s Brett Pritchard speaks during Wednesday’s meeting at the Betty Carol Graham Technology Center. Pritchard will serve as the sponsor for the CACC BASS Fishing team.
“We’ll compete in collegiate BASS. We’ll pay our dues, we’ll compete against Auburn and Alabama and all of the big schools that have college bass teams,” Pritchard said. “The way it works is there’s not a JUCO level or an NCAA Division-I level. It’s everybody under one umbrella.” Moving forward, Pritchard said the
program will look to get involved in the community and raise funds, with the student anglers determining how active the team is before its first competition. “We’re going to have a meeting every two weeks with this group, and we’re going to elect officers at the next meeting,” Pritchard said. “They’ll run the show. They will determine what we’ll do
and how often we do things. We’ll definitely be going out and soliciting support, not just from this community, but all of the communities that we serve at Central Alabama Community College. We’re a club sport and we want to grow, so we’ve got to have some help. We also want to turn around and help those businesses and people who want to be a part of it. “We’re going to have to raise money to be self-sufficient, and they know that. I think they’re up to the task.” Pritchard added that he hopes the program will grow into a competitive team and another reason students enroll at CACC. “My vision is to grow this thing and be very competitive, and hopefully one day have it to where students are coming to Central Alabama Community College because of this bass team,” Pritchard said. “I hope it’s a real competitive team.”
