Council tables vote on alley plan By MITCH SNEED Editor
A decision on whether to close a downtown alley to vehicular traffic will have to wait as the council seeks legal advice on whether it has the authority to make the change. The proposed closure was the brainchild of a group of the current members of a
Leadership Lake Martin team, with the idea of beautifying the area, increasing safety for pedestrians and increasing foot traffic downtown. Benjamin Russell Principal Dr. Anthony Wilkinson spoke on behalf of the group. “When we started looking at projects, it kept coming back to the same thing – how can you get people to come from Highway 280 to the downtown area,” Wilkinson said.
“The idea came from one of our members who has a child that got away from her near the alley and it scared her to death.” Wilkinson said that he has had disabled students doing volunteer work that had to walk in that area where they enter the area blind to traffic coming out of the alley. He said the path is often used by middle school students leaving school and coming downtown.
“The bottom line is that there are three ways to get into that parking lot and the most dangerous is that alley,” Wilkinson said. Alexander City Attorney Mitch Gavin who owns one of the buildings adjacent to the alley said that he doesn’t believe that legally the city can close the street. “In many ways closing the alley would See COUNCIL • Page 2
Tallassee teen charged with murder
Judge gives Thomas life for kidnapping, strangulation
By DAVID GRANGER Managing Editor
By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Fifth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Tom Young Jr. sentenced Eddie Donnell Thomas to life Monday after his conviction on charges from a Tallassee burglary, kidnapping and strangulation. “This is the most violent thing I have ever seen,” Young said of the video presented at trial while sentencing Thomas. “It is a nightmare for anyone Thomas to see. The victim was still terrorized by it when she testified here. The only thing that could have made it worse was if you killed her.” Much of the May 3 incident was captured on a nanny cam in the home where the victim was watching an elderly woman when Thomas knocked in the door, jumped on top of the victim and carried her out by the neck. Thomas has a laundry list of prior convictions for theft, burglary, domestic violence and assault. With that history Fifth Judicial Circuit Assistant District Attorney Jeremy Duerr asked that Thomas be sentenced outside of the guidelines for the crimes under the habitual offender status, an argument Assistant District Attorney Mike See SENTENCE • Page 3
CRACK QUANDARY City officials deal with unexpected issues on Broad Street By MITCH SNEED Editor
An attempt to seal some nasty cracks in the existing surface at the Broad Street Plaza before fresh asphalt was to be laid has created some unforeseen issues, which could add time and expense to the project. Alexander City Engineer and Public Works Director Gerard Brewer and Community Development Director Randy Thomas both acknowledged the most recent setbacks and talked about what comes next. “There were some very heavy cracks in the pavement that was there,” Brewer said.

With the increased popularity of online shopping, local law enforcement officials warn residents of the potential that thieves could target packages left unattended at homes. Last week, Alexander City Police handled two complaints of potential theft of packages after delivery driver had left items on the porch of local homes. Alexander City Police Chief Willie Robinson said that leaving a package unattended is almost an invitation for potential thieves. “Never leave packages unguarded or exposed in the open where they can be seen,” Robinson said.
PACKAGE SAFETY TIPS • Have your packages delivered to your office. • Have your packages delivered to a neighbor who is home. • Request signed confirmation upon delivery. • Track the delivery of packages to plan ahead • If you are going out of town for an extended period of time contact your post office and have delivery of mail and packages suspended. • Reports suspicious activity in your neighborhood to law enforcement.

“In talking with the engineer on the project about the cracks we asked about sealing the cracks like we have on other surfaces. “But as they came in and started to lay down the asphalt we found that the asphalt was not adhering to the sealant we used. It was causing ripples or bubbles in some places and that was just something that we couldn’t have.” Brewer said that crews went out and helped pull the sealer than wasn’t covered already out of the cracks, some being done with workers on hands and knees using screwdrivers.

Malik Johnson, 18, of Tallassee is being held in Elmore County Jail on charges of murder and robbery in the Sunday death of Stephvon Adams, 26, also of Tallassee. Johnson was arrested Sunday night after Adams’ body was found in the road near the intersection of New Quarters and Taylor Roads near Tallassee. “When deputies found Mr. Adams, it appeared that he had several gunshot wounds to the upper torso,” Elmore County Sheriff Bill Franklin said Monday morning. “There was also a good amount of blood in the road and it was unclear whether he had been struck or that was from the gunshots.” Franklin said the only thing found on Adams was a set of keys in his pockets, which turned out to be crucial to his identification when at about 10 a.m. authorities received a call that a vehicle was partially blocking the roadway near the Friendship community, approximately five miles from the original scene. Noticing that the vehicle in the roadway was a Jeep and that the keys found in Adams’ pocket were Jeep keys, deputies tried to pop the trunk with the See TALLASSEE • Page 3

DEAR ABBY: My dad started an affair with a woman who is four years older than I am. He met her when he hired her for her “services.” Fast-forward a year: He has left my mom. Mom left the state and has moved in with me. She’s trying to rebuild her life, but she’s still very much in love with my dad. Dad, on the other hand, is miserable. His girlfriend is controlling to the point that he’s not allowed to talk to his children or grandchildren. She’s an alcoholic who mentally, verbally and physically abuses him. He recently left her and came to stay at my house. He told Mom and me that he wanted a fresh start. Abby, he was here for less than 48 hours and went back to the girlfriend! I am convinced that he either has a drug problem or he’s sick. He has lost an extreme amount of weight. I have no idea how to help him and I’m terrified that he is going to die. Now he won’t talk to me. He left while I was at work so

he wouldn’t have to face me. I don’t understand why he would come here only to turn right around and leave. I am disgusted, disappointed and angry. Should I cut all ties with him until he gets his life together? -DISAPPOINTED DAUGHTER DEAR DISAPPOINTED: Considering what has been going on, your feelings are natural. However, because you are unsure about what is driving your father -- addiction, illness, indecision, etc. -- do not “cut all ties.” Leave the door ajar a little longer. There’s a saying, “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.” Victims sometimes need several attempts to leave their abusers, and your dad may be no exception.

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating a wonderful girl for about seven months. We’re sophomores in college. She’s sweet, kind, extraordinarily talented, and we treat each other wonderfully. Everything has been great, with the occasional disagreement. The problem is that I’m starting to notice that she seems to be homophobic. I was raised in a liberal, open-minded home, whereas hers was much more conservative. She never met a homosexual until college. She has talked about feeling uncomfortable with two men kissing or talking about being intimate. At first, I thought she’d be equally uncomfortable with straight couples doing the same thing, but she wasn’t. When I tell her that I support marriage equality and the LGBTQ community, she gets very quiet and uneasy. I care for her, but I don’t know if I can be with someone who’s this uncomfortable

posal are owners of a building on one side of the alley. Ed and Meredith Collari recently purchased 41 Main Street and are doing demolition in hopes of attracting tenants. Gavin cited state law and said it is his interpretation that the city couldn’t abandon the street and still maintain it. Council members said the proposal wasn’t to close it or abandon it, it was to make it pedestrian only. Chamber President and TPI Owner Kenneth Boone said as the city tries to keep making progress in making the downtown area vibrant and beautiful, he saw the move as a good idea. Mark Lamborne, Derrick Blythe and Teresa Moten all spoke against the closure to vehicle traffic, while Ed Collari also spoke for the proposal. Collari, who also serves as the Alexander City Chamber CEO, said in his experience that keys to success in retail are safety, scenery and stay time and he felt
like the proposal would help promote all three of those in the downtown area. When the discussion was complete, the council voted 6-0 to table the proposal until the legal issues could be researched. Also, a call for an executive session that was on the agenda to discuss “the general reputation and character, professional competence, and job performance of the individuals who hold the positions of city attorney, city judge, fire chief, police chief and clerk,” was taken off the agenda. City Council President Tommy Spraggins, who had requested the executive session originally, asked that it be removed after the legality of discussing job performance in a closed meeting were raised by The Outlook. “We certainly want to be as transparent as we can be and will always strive to make the right decisions,” Spraggins said in an emailed response. “With that said, I have decided to remove
my request for the Executive Session from our agenda tonight.” The council on Nov. 8 had delayed making permanent decisions on the people serving in those positions, instead, asking the current group serving in those spots to remain for up to 60 days. The discussion would have been to gather information to help them make a decision, much like a job interview, according to Councilman Tim Funderburk. The council also approved: • A resolution calling for a public hearing to rezone five parcels of land on Comer Street at request of the City of Alexander City • A resolution authorizing the mayor to execute a Tax Revenue Enhancement Agreement-Business License Examination Service with RDS. • A resolution approving bid for removal of unsafe structures under the CDBG. The bid was awarded to Alexander City based Benton’s Clearing and Grading at a price of $70,950. While this was the lowest bid, the quotes ranged as high as $452,736.

Weldon presented to Young Monday. “He has a track record,” Weldon said. “He has done nothing but crime after crime after crime. At this point, I don’t know if he can do anything but commit another crime.” At the Dec. 5 trial, a jury took 17 minutes to find Thomas guilty where the victim testified, a video showing the encounter was shown and a U.S. Marshall who help apprehend Thomas testified. The video showed Thomas busting through a door of a Washington Boulevard home in Tallassee May 3 of this year, moving hastily across the room to a vic-
tim known to Thomas before pinning her to the couch, telling he was going to take her and kill her and then taking the victim from the residence by the neck with her feet dangling in the air. The second part of the video shows the victim returning to the home wearing only the t-shirt she was wearing when abducted, unclothed from the waist down. Thomas was arrested by U.S. Marshals May 5 in Centreville and transported to the Bibb County Jail near Tuscaloosa without incident but did ask U.S. Marshal Glen Heritage about one charge – domestic violence strangulation.

key’s remote and, according to Franklin, “it popped right open. We knew then that this vehicle was involved.” Franklin said after deputies and members of the narcotics task force worked the case most of the day, Johnson was picked up at about 7 p.m. and taken in for questioning. “Within about two hours, it became apparent that he was involved,” Franklin said. “Later, he confessed that
he had fired several gunshots at Adams with a .22 caliber handgun while they sat in the car. He said Adams then tried to exit the car and stumbled in front of it. Johnson said he slid across the console, took control of the car and ran over Adams multiple times.” Franklin said the argument between Johnson and Adams focused around money and drugs. He said Johnson’s charges included robbery because he allegedly took money and a cell phone from the victim.
“He asked me what it was,” Heritage testified at trial. “I told him and he stated ‘I should have killed the bitch.’” Young sentenced Thomas to life in prison on the burglary charge and 20 years each on the kidnapping and domestic violence strangulation charges, all to be served consecutively meaning Thomas will likely live the rest of life in prison.

Broad Street Plaza was closed as machinery was brought in to take up recently applied asphalt after it was discovered that crack sealant underneath was causing problems. No estimates have been given as to what additional costs the issue may add to the project.
Asphalt down on top of the sealant was being milled out to make sure that the final surface would be in good shape. “It’s one of those things where you try to do something to help and took the advice of engineers, but we had no way of knowing that this would happen,” Brewer said. “We hate it, but we have to make sure that we do this right. So we are committed to doing whatever it takes to get it right.” Thomas said that in addition to the sealant problem, when crews started milling the pavement in the area, they found something else under the surface that they are hoping will not cause additional issues. “Today they found a powdery substance under the pavement when they started milling,” Thomas said. “It was almost like asphalt with no rocks – something of that consistency anyway. They said they encountered that when they were doing Lee Street before. “So they are monitoring that and trying to get up as much of it as they can and then deal with whatever we find the best we can as we find it.” Thomas said in situations like this where a surface has been in place for decades, the procedures used when it was last done may be unknown. Thomas said that core samples are taken before they work started. “The cores that we did came back fine and didn’t show any of these things that we are finding now,” Thomas said. “But just like in

the past, we have found that it all depends on where you take the samples. It can be fine here and then a mess just a few feet away. We will keep working and see where it leads us.” Thomas said there was no estimate on the potential delays or cost associated with the current problems contractors are dealing with. “So far the only additional cost we know of is the milling, but we will see,” Thomas said. “As far as paving, once the milling is done, paving will start provided the weather cooperates. I wouldn’t think it would cause any substantial delays.” Alexander City’s Broad Street Streetscape project began in July and is planned to further beautification of the Broad Street corridor with the installation of new sidewalks, speed breaks, landscaping and repaving and restriping of the parking lot and spaces north of Broad Street between Clay and Green Streets. Local contractor Henderson and Coker is handling the work. The project is being paid for by Transportation Alternative Program funds received from the Federal Highway Administration (FHA) through the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA). Total cost of the project was originally $544,000 for which the city required 20 percent match – plus city engineering and inspection costs – is $125,000.

That’s another route to go.” Both Abbett and Robinson said that residents should look out for suspicious activity and take note of tag numbers and descriptions of questionable vehicles seen in your area.

We can all slow T down and obey traffic laws
T
he Weekend Outlook featured a story about an Alexander City intersection where a 38-year-old woman was killed on Dec. 8 when the vehicle she was driving was hit by an 18-wheeler. Since the story was published, social media and message boards have been filled with comments about the intersection and what readers think should be done to make the area safer. We have shared some of those postings on this page today. Stats show that there were 22 accidents there over a fouryear period ending Dec. 31, 2015. Alabama Department of Transportation officials say that accident data is what determines any action that will be taken in that area. Some residents believe that flashing lights, additional signage and rumble strips may help slow traffic as it approaches the intersection. They are probably right. Those safety features surely wouldn’t hurt. Some favor lowering the speed limit further away from the intersection. Currently the speed limit drops to 45 mph just 240 feet from the intersection. That move would mean if drivers followed the law they would need less time to stop at a red or yellow light. Safety features may or may not happen any time soon, but drivers have the power to increase the safety of the roads. If we slow down, stay attentive behind the wheel and wait to text or answer calls until we stop and obey the law, accidents like the one we just saw would be less likely. While they may not apply in this case, there are some other things we can do to help make the roads safer. • No alcohol. In all fatal crashes in 2015, 24.7 percent of the drivers killed had been drinking. • Buckle up. Every trip, every time, front seat and back – seatbelt use is vital. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released data that showed that the chances of surviving a crash increase by 26 percent with seatbelt use. Safe driving is a habit. Let’s all get addicted to that starting today.

Greatest gift is priceless yet free
he world has never known more convenience and prosperity; yet the world never seems to see a decrease in sadness and strife. Despite large disparities, there is more material wealth on the planet than ever before. Yet no one is more content or happier than ever before. Loneliness is a perennial problem whether physically isolated or in a crowd, but with social media and technology there are myriad ways to connect. As of 2013, 6.8 billion cell phone subscribers were among about 7 billion people on earth. It’s difficult to determine how many people are actually connected, but obviously the planet’s population has never before been able to connect with so many others. Twitter users are following and communicating with strangers around the globe. And yet, people have never felt more disconnected. The Onternet has been an indescribably bountiful boon to information availability; the information of the ages is almost entirely accessible online. With cell phone proliferation, over half the planet’s population has that vast information in their hands. A marvel itself, cell phones are more capable than desktops from just a couple decades ago. And yet, people seem to know less about history and humanity. While technology makes leaps and bounds in convenience and capability, it’s also exploring the realm of virtual reality. Video games have been around awhile; one could drive a racecar, hunt wild game, or

play sports without leaving the house. War video games have developed with stories and realism to the point players can engage in the thrill of war and killing without the tragic ramifications of actual violence, although at the risk of becoming inured to the brutality of war. Technology is even promising virtual sex. And yet, people are bored and unsatisfied with life. Too many people disastrously seek some sense of satisfaction or more likely escape through substance abuse. Some legal, one out of six Americans are prescribed psychiatric drugs, and so many illegal abusers; it is epidemic. Despite all the ease of modern society people can’t find fulfillment, so they get high to seek contentment or peace. And yet, most Americans still can’t find any answers to escape the lows of boredom, depression, and loneliness. With all our convenience, knowledge, and technology, too many Americans are lost. Looking for answers everywhere, we are willingly open-minded to alien, cosmic, or mystical explanations. And yet, we ignore, overlook, or even dismiss the real life answers that only require a mustard seed of faith. Every Christmas season, millions of Americans spend countless hours
contemplating or searching for the perfect gift – the latest technology, the newest fad, or even the most unique experience. And yet, too many of us bypass the greatest gift of all time. The greatest gift is the most precious, priceless yet free. It’s easily available, but we find it elusive - yet we only need accept it. While we are busy buying gifts this Christmas we hope have meaning, please remember it all started when God the Father gave his only begotten Son to each and every one of us so that we might have peace here on earth and contentment in the knowledge of eternal life. Misunderstood 2000 years ago, our Savior came as an innocent helpless babe; He was the Lamb of God – the ultimate gift, a sacrifice so many still don’t understand. It is better to give than receive, but you must receive Christ to gain an infinite capacity to give. Accept Christ with an open heart and you will find peace in a new confidence to handle life and contentment knowing Jesus has the answers. Give the greatest gift, share the good news of the Gospels with one and all! Merry Christmas! “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Luke 2:14 Pete Riehm is the host of Common Sense Radio heard 8pm every Thursday on FMTalk106.5 or streaming at fmtalk1065.com.

Readers sound off on deadly Highway 280 intersection The Outlook published an in-depth look at the Highway 280 intersection where 38-year old Brandi Harman was killed on Dec. 8 in a collision with a tractor-trailer. Here is a sampling of what readers are saying about the intersection and possible solutions on social media… “I travel that part of 280 everyday and I do drive a 18 wheeler. I would suggest putting up a flashing sign with warning of a red light over the hill and move the 45 mph sign back up the road maybe around the barbershop before you go over the hill to the red light. There are a lot of people coming in Alexander City for the first time that has no idea a red light is on the other side of the hill. We need more warnings on intersections like this. I have known Donald Dino Hardman for many years and my heart goes out to the whole Hardman and Stokes family. Just my thoughts as a truck driver.” Jeff Jones
“A flashing light and even strips on the road to warn drivers to slow down. If any driver isn’t familiar with the area they aren’t aware of the red light and if they aren’t paying attention or are dosing off the strips would alert them.” Tiffani Whatley “A 45 mph speed limit starting at Koons 2 and a red light on the hill before Wal-mart coming from Kellyton.” Chastity Griffin Hartley “They need to drop the speed limit to 50 or 45 on the other side of the hill. As it is posted now it is a speed trap. A ticket is not worth the loss of life in any circumstance.” Steven Moncus “My heart breaks for the this family. I was also hit at this intersection in December of 2013 by someone who had run the red light without braking. This intersection is dangerous!” Mary Katherine Gordon
“There is not a lot of distance between the top of that hill and red light itself. City could put single light that shows what color light is at the moment at the top of hill. You could easily know from Koons 2 what color light is. They do stuff like that in hilly areas in Tennessee.” Victoria Roberts Hammonds “There should be a 45 mph for that half-mile stretch strictly enforced – like Childersburg has 45 mph for the half-mile area in their business district.” Debbie Reneau “Happens there ALL of the time! I work right at that intersection and you see and hear them fly through there. Sometimes they blow their horns and blow through the light but not stop at the light. Wish something would be done about it also.” Erica Kirby

Leadership Lake Martin Class of 2017 nears halfway mark By KIM DUNN Director of Marketing and Special Events
The Leadership Lake Martin Class of 2017 is nearing the half way mark of their journey with three class days behind them and only four more ahead. They attended Criminal Justice Day last week which included speakers such as county judges, the district attorney, Alexander City Police Department and Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department; a presentation from the Drug Task Force; and a tour of the city jail. The class will travel to Dadeville in January for County Government and City of Dadeville Day. The class members are all engaged and learning so much about our community through this experience. Chris Gaston expressed, “Leadership Lake Martin has been a great experience for me. I have heard about it for several years and was honored when Russell Lands nominated me to be a part of this class. I thoroughly enjoyed the retreat where we got to meet our classmates. It seemed that in just two days and one night, we all become friends. It has been a great experience to talk with and learn from other leaders in our com-
munity.” Fellow class member Jessica Locke from River Bank & Trust echoed many of the same sentiments as she talked about how encouraged she has been throughout entire process so far. Education Day has stood out the most to her. She was extremely impressed with the students at Benjamin Russell from their outgoing demeanors to how easily they were able to converse with her and her class members. Class members have been divided into project groups and the groups are hard at work on their selected community service projects. Board President Mallory Padgett stated, “I certainly encourage everyone to stay tuned, as some great projects are in the works once again this year.” It won’t be long and the Leadership Lake Martin Board of Directors will start recruiting members for the Class of 2018. If you are interested in participating in that class or sponsoring an employee from your organization, you can call the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce for more information and to place your name on the prospect list.

Much to be thankful for this holiday season
W
ith the holiday season upon us, it’s that time of year when we show appreciation and reflect back at all the changes in our lives since we rung in 2016. Personally, my life has seen tremendous change. Our daughter celebrated her 3rd birthday and our son turned one. I left my job as Assistant General Manager at The Summit shopping center in Birmingham in early March and assumed my current role with the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce. That move alone brought with it a change of residence, new daycare for our children, new friends, new co-workers and new responsibilities. It also imbedded in me a passion for Alex City, our future and the people who make this community so wonderful. We’ve also witnessed change in our government from the local level all the way to the White House and with it, a new sense of optimism about our future. Your Chamber of Commerce has seen tremendous success in 2016 as well and we look forward to an even stronger 2017. Our events calendar continues to grow with such staples as Lead Forward, Quarterly Luncheons, Sun Festival, Holiday Open House and the Christmas Parade. We added more Professional Development Workshops along with the Young Professionals first ever Polar Plunge, Mayoral Forum and Strand Sessions concert series.

Lake Martin Young Professionals host 2nd annual Polar Plunge STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
The Lake Martin Young Professionals (LMYP) announce the 2nd Annual LMYP Polar Plunge to be held on Saturday, January 14th at Lake Martin’s Kowaliga Restaurant. The event will again serve as a fundraiser for the Lake Martin Resource Association (LMRA), a nonprofit group dedicated to the cleanliness, safety and preservation of Lake Martin. Festivities begin at 10 a.m. and last until 4 p.m. A $20 ticket gives you entry into the event with access to four different food stations featuring Chef Ban Stewart’s and Chef Rob McDaniel’s custom Polar Plunge menu. Local sports talk show, SportzBlitz Live will be broadcasting onsite from 10 a.m. until noon, and Kowaliga’s spacious outdoor area will have fire pits to keep warm and plenty of room for the kids to play. The plunge takes place at noon with participants running into the frigid waters of Lake Martin from the Kowaliga Beach. Live music by Hinton/Bloom kicks off at 1 p.m., and Kowaliga’s two indoor bars will be up and running with additional cash bars stationed throughout the event grounds. “We’re excited to bring the Polar Plunge back to Kowaliga and again support the Lake Martin Resource association,” said LMYP President, John Howell. “We started out planning this
event last year as just something fun to do, and in the course of planning had the thought to tie it to a local organization as a fundraiser. With all the work LMRA does to keep Lake Martin clean, safe and prosperous, we couldn’t think of a better group to support, and Kowaliga Restaurant provides a great atmosphere for a really fun time.” Last year’s event saw over 300 people fill the shoreline at Kowaliga to watch 50-plus participants take the plunge into Lake Martin on one of 2016’s coldest days. The event helped raise over $3,000 for LMRA, which the organization used to purchase lighted buoys for safe navigation around Lake Martin after sunset. Tickets will be available at the door or can be purchased in advance online at EventBrite.com (search LMYP Polar Plunge). Polar Plunge tee shirts will also be available on the day of ($10 if you take the plunge, $20 if you don’t).

Weather keeps some from ice skating at Sportsplex LUKE ROBINSON
By CLIFF WILLIAMS Outlook Staff Writer
Columnist
Oprah’s...no, Luke’s Favorite Things
L
azy writers everywhere will want to give you some column about how “if they were Santa Claus”. They’ll go on about the various gifts they’d give different coaches, teams and fan bases in an effort to just slap something together. Well not me; I am not doing the Santa thing this year. I want to go in a more realistic direction: I’ll write about what I would give coaches, teams and fan bases if I were Oprah Winfrey. Really, there aren’t many differences between Oprah and me. We are both on TV channels that can be difficult to find. We both are in book clubs.... Well, one of us is. Of course, there are a few differences too: I am male…. And white…. And broke. Also, people look up to her out of respect; people look up to me because I am 6’5”. Anyhoo, on we go with “Luke’s Favorite Things”…. For Alabama basketball coach Avery Johnson… A 2017-18 Calendar. This current Crimson Tide team couldn’t find the rim if the ball had GPS. Storm Troopers have better aim than Alabama guards. They desperately need a shooter. Someone- ANYONEwho can stroke it from distance giving the fans a modicum of hope. That hope should be here next season when Johnson’s heralded signing class will be on campus to tickle the twine. Until then, though, Johnson and his staff can only look at the calendar and dream. For Auburn coach Gus Malzahn…. A Jarrett Stidham. Yeah, I know he already has the real McCoy, but I am talking about a life sized Jarrett Stidham look- alike doll. The ballyhooed quarterback transfer is coming into Auburn with all of the hype. Literally, there is no more hype to go around. Therefore, Stidham will need a stand-in to handle the multitude of interviews he will surely be asked to do. A life-sized mannequin with pre-recorded coach-speak answers like, “We just take it game by game”, “Gotta give the credit to my offensive line” or even, “The coaching staff prepared us for whatev….. ERROR……ERROR….”. (There will probably be a few glitches to work out.) For Alabama kicker Adam Griffith… Noise cancelling headphones. Something to make him quit listening to his doubters. I’ll get him the extra strength ones. For Auburn quarterback Sean White…. A good shoulder. A really, really healthy shoulder. Cause if White has a healthy shoulder, he can perhaps give Stidham a run for the starter’s gig. But probably not. Stidham’s pretty good. White still gets a shoulder, though; he’ll need it to lean on. For Coach Nick Saban…. Are….Are you serious? What do you get the man who has everything? Saban, you get nothing! You already have the SEC Player of the Year on offense and defense to go along with the fact you have more rings than Saturn’s wife. There’s nothing I could give you that would be appreciated. I mean, you get my undying gratitude for elevating Alabama to heights unknown in the college football world, but you ain’t getting anything tangible, man. You can afford whatever you want, aight! Finally, in the spirit of Oprah – You have a Merry Christmas…. And YOU have a Merry Christmas…. AND YOU have a Merry Christmas! You ALL have a Merry Christmas!!!! Luke Robinson is an Alexander City native and president of the LAKE MARTIN BAMA CLUB who also writes a weekly column for The Alexander City Outlook.
Ice skating was a hit for many again this year at the Sportsplex. While cold and rain kept some away – some 600 people took advantage of the chance to lace up ice skate and drew people from over an hour away. “We had some come from Montgomery, Auburn and Birmingham,” Alexander City Parks and Recreation Director Sonny Wilson said. “Some were new and some were repeats from last year.” Last year at the first Christmas in the Park an estimated 8,000 showed up. Wilson explained the department spread things out a little bit this year for Christmas in the Park. “I think the first Saturday went really well with the way we spread things out,” Wilson said. “It really helped with the congestion that we had last year. We spread some things out over to the gym parking lot where the Boys and Girls club had a couple rides.” The cooler weather may have held crowds back the Saturday of Christmas in the Park, opening day for the ice skating. “We had about 300 opening day for ice skating,” Wilson said. “We had rain the first part of the week and that kept some of the crowd away. But we did have 300 or so come after opening day.” Wilson said some were groups like daycares and churches took advantage of the ice rink during the week. The ice rink was a partnership project according to Wilson. The slab

that it was placed on was built with the help of Wayne Coker. “County Commissioner Steve Robinson has been a big help,” Wilson
said. “He also helped out last year. Then I need to thank the mayor and council for allowing us to do something like this.”
SPORTS BRIEFS AU Womens drop overtime heartbreaker
Auburn women’s basketball made a stunning fourth-quarter comeback to send its game with No. 24 Virginia Tech to overtime, but fell just short in a 92-87 loss Sunday at Auburn Arena. The Tigers (8-3) shot a season-high 50.8 percent from the field, scored a season-high 87 points and overcame a nine-point deficit in the final three minutes to force overtime, but the hot-shooting Hokies (11-0) made 12 3-pointers throughout the game and won it at the free-throw line in the extra period. Sophomore Janiah McKay scored a career-high 28 points – including seven points in the final 1:08 of regulation – and got a key steal, a layup and a free throw to tie the game with 10 seconds to play. But she was lost to fouls early in the overtime period, and the Tigers’ leading scorer watched the final 4:08 from the bench. “You can’t give up the 3,” Auburn head coach Terri Williams-Flournoy said. “We allowed them to have 12 3s. You can’t do it. They played hard. We fought hard to get back into the game. We fought hard to put it into overtime. It hurt when (McKay) fouled out. She had 28 points. She was the offense. “We did our usual things. We forced them into 22 turnovers. Honestly, we did everything we needed to do to win the game except defend the 3-point line.”
Auburn heads to New Orleans this week for the Tulane Classic. The Tigers take on Drake at 3 p.m. Wednesday then will face either Tulane or Eastern Washington Thursday.
Buzzer-beater leads Auburn past Mercer
T.J. Dunans’ 3-pointer at the buzzer lifted Auburn past Mercer 76-74 after the Tigers inbounded the ball with 1.4 seconds left at halfcourt in the last nonconference home game of the season in Auburn Arena on Sunday. Mustapha Heron led Auburn with 21 points while TJ Lang chipped in 13 points on 3-of-5 treys and five rebounds. Dunans, who had 13 points on 3-of4 3-pointers, five rebounds and three assists, has made five of his last eight 3s in the past two games after starting the season missing his first 15. Highly touted freshman Austin Wiley, who had only practiced twice since joining the team Friday, totaled nine points, three rebounds and two blocks in 15 minutes during his Auburn debut. “These are the kinds of games you have to win to have a potentially memorable season,” Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl said. “It’s hard to get eight wins in the non-conference, especially against the schedule that we’re playing. We had a great crowd and a great atmosphere tonight.” Auburn improved to 8-2 while Mercer fell to 5-6. Auburn plays two games in three days, beginning with Oklahoma on
Wednesday in the Hall of Fame’s Birthday of Basketball in Uncasville, Conn., at 7:30 p.m. CT on the CBS Sports Network and then travel to Hartford, Conn. for a matchup against UConn on Friday at 1:30 p.m. CT on ESPN2. The Tigers will return home on Dec. 29 for the SEC opener against Georgia at 6 p.m.
Bama falls to Clemson
The Alabama men’s basketball team dropped a 67-54 contest to Clemson in the BBVA Compass Vulcan Classic at Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Ala., on Sunday afternoon. The Tide falls to 5-5 with the loss, while the Tigers improve to 8-2 on the year. “I thought we had way too many turnovers,” head coach Avery Johnson. “We were competitive in the first half, but offensively – whether it’s a missed shot, a careless pass, a wasted possession – something we’ve been talking a lot about but just didn’t carry over from practice and our video session. In the second half, we had a little bit more energy. We’re just not getting enough guys in double figures. We’ll keep working on it; I thought our guys showed some fight in the second half.” Alabama is back in action on Wednesday, Dec. 21 when the Tide takes on Arkansas State in the Rocket City Classic at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, Ala. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m., with the game airing on SEC Network.
