Special / The Outlook
Emergency personnel work to clear the wreckage from the scene of Monday night’s fatal crash.
Troopers with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency have confirmed that two people are dead after a Monday night accident. Officials said they were called to the scene of a three-vehicle crash on Alabama

Mary Jean Fagan has seen a lot of changes in her 24 years as the arts and communications teacher at Benjamin Russell High School. “I remember my first day here,” said Fagan, who worked at both Russell Corp. and Gayfer’s (now Dillard’s) Department Stories after her graduation from Ringling School of Art & Design in Sarasota, Florida, and before accepting her position at Benjamin Russell. “They
showed me to my room and all I could find was some old crayons, old canvases that had been painted on, some dried-up oil paints and that was it. I cam here from Gayfer’s department store in Montgomery where we had all the tools of an in-house advertising shop and I was wondering what I’d gotten myself into. “But I’ve grown to love what I do here and love the students.” As the school’s arts and communications career tech teacher, Fagan teaches her students introduction See FAGAN • Page 5
Law enforcement officials have arrested two men after a drug bust at a local hotel. The Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force executed a search warrant at an Alexander City motel Monday and located approximately 24 grams of crystal methamphetamine, several grams of marijuana and over Glassburn $1,300 in cash. “The suspects apparently set up shop there, with the narcotics packaged for resale,” Sgt. Fred White of the Task Force said. “Our information is that they had been there for at least a few days and had been using Parks it as their office. Due to the status of the investigation, we can’t release the name of the hotel at this time.” The drugs and cash were seized and Robert Michael Glassburn, 30, See BUST • Page 6

Gordon seeks to fund Go! Grants for physical education By DAVID GRANGER Staff Writer
Doug Gordon is keeping active in hopes that America’s younger generations will, too. Gordon, a former sporting goods industry executive, is in the midst of a cross-country bike ride that started last Monday in Charleston, South Carolina, and will take him all the way to San Diego. Gordon hopes that his journey will generate attention for PHIT (Personal Health Investment Today) America and help raise funds for its GO! Grants Program, which helps fund elementary school physical education programs. “In my position as a sporting goods executive, I would go to
these leadership conferences and hear all these statistics about the decline in team sports and sports in general,” Gordon said. “There are 83 million people in America today that are inactive. They do nothing. And we’re facing a situation where our children are the first generation that may not live as long as we do simply because of their sedentary lifestyle.” “PHIT is focused on getting physical education and recess back in every school. Right now, schools average only $764 spent on PE every year. Kids are spending all their time with their cell phones, their game consoles and their tablets. They’re only exercising their thumbs and their fingers.” Gordon said he pondered the statistics on youth inactivity and

DEAR ABBY: A foreign friend used the “n” word while commenting about an employee at a hotel we were staying in. After he said it a second time, I slapped him and told him that word was never acceptable, regardless of the reason. I feel bad about hitting him, but entirely justified in motive and intent. I really can’t think of another, more effective way of registering how offended I am in a situation like this. Should I apologize? Should it be a qualified apology? I tried to explain the complex racial history of the U.S. and why the word was so hurtful, but he seemed disinclined to understand. What is the right way to react in such a situation? -- ANONYMOUS IN THE USA DEAR ANONYMOUS: You should not have let the first remark go without speaking up. The right way to respond

DEAR ABBY Advice
to the person’s racist comment would have been to say that it offended you and you would prefer not to hear that kind of language from him again. Physical violence is not the correct way to get a point across. If you must associate with this person, apologize for flying off the handle. Otherwise, avoid him. DEAR ABBY: I’m in love with two men. My husband, “Victor,” and I have been together for nine years and were married last year. The other man in my life, “Wade,” was my boss, and we’ve been and honored his business education to. He was a Sergeant in the United States Army in World War II. He owned and operated S.J. Mason Construction Co. specializing in Commercial and Industrial Construction throughout the Southeast for 60 years. Many churches, commercial buildings and industrial plants were built by his efforts. He was a faithful member, elder, and trustee of the First Presbyterian Church. Sam’s greatest joy was found in loving and caring for his wife.

I chose to marry Victor for emotional stability and because we had built a life together. I can’t imagine a life without him. At the same time, I can’t imagine not being with Wade. If I stop seeing Wade, I know I won’t be happy and he’ll always be on my mind. I will always wonder about what could have been. If I divorce my husband, I’ll break his heart, and it won’t be easy. Last week Wade demanded that I decide between him and my husband. He wants an exclusive relationship with me. I’m in a panic because I can’t decide, but I know I will lose Wade if I don’t do it soon.

The Outlook
Super PACs are funding the negative political ads
A
s our primary selection day approaches, it appears that we are seeing significant campaign attention from the presidential candidates. The move by the legislature to make us an early primary state was a good one. As is generally the case, we are seeing negative ads. That is not unusual in politics. The reason that they are employed is because they work. Otherwise, the media consultants would not use them. Therefore, this is not a different approach. However, the unique factor in this year’s presidential contest is who is paying for the ads. The disparaging attacks are being paid for by Super PACs and not directly by the candidates’ campaigns. These shadow campaign organizations were created by a federal campaign loophole. They allow a candidate to organize a PAC with an innocuous name that allows them to circumvent the federal campaign contribution threshold and spend unlimited amounts of money. These Super PACs are created to allow wealthy individual contributors to write very big checks. Thus, in essence it allows the super-rich to control the Super PACs and have a super-size say on who sits in the oval office. These Super PACs created for deeppocketed supporters are supposed to operate separately from campaigns but in this presidential contest the lines have become very blurred. The rules on what amounts to coordination have been so narrowly defined
STEVE FLOWERS Columnist
that Super PACs and candidates’ campaigns appear to be one in the same. Federal Election Commission records reveal a good amount of correlation. Super PACs are paying staffers before they shift to campaign payrolls and individuals and groups are writing checks to the same vendors. Super PACs and other outside organizations have sponsored nine of every ten political ads aired this year. Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta, has appeared at fundraisers for a pro-Clinton Super PAC called Priorities USA Action. It is well documented that GOP candidate Jeb Bush delayed his presidential announcement by several months to allow his Super PAC, Right to Rise, to raise money. Right to Rise raised $103 million for Bush, while the Bush’s official campaign collected $11 million. Last year’s surprise announcement by GOP House Speaker John Boehner to resign gave rise to the selection of a new speaker. Paul Ryan, the 45-year-old Wisconsin Congressman who was a former vice presidential candidate, appears to be a good choice. Ryan comes across as sincere and well-intentioned. He comes across as direct, confident but not cocky or abrasive. He strikes you as someone who
is doing the job for the right reasons. He obviously is living within his means on his congressional salary. He sleeps in his office rather than opting for an apartment or swanky Georgetown residence. For years it was thought that being a governor was not only the best training ground for president but also the best stepping stone. That has not been the case this year. In a record size Republican field the first two horses to fade and fail were Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and Texas Governor Rick Perry. It has instead been a year for outsiders. The GOP field has been led by completely inexperienced political novices. Celebrity billionaire Donald Trump, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, and former CEO Carly Fiorina have stolen the show. These three political newcomers have never won an election or even run for public office. It appears that Donald Trump is poised to carry Alabama next week. He leads overwhelmingly in the polls and has garnered a good cadre of political face cards who have rallied to the frontrunner. Perry Hooper, Jr., a wellknown establishment Republican figure, heads his campaign. Hooper is joined by state representatives Jim Carnes, Tim Wadsworth, Ed Henry, and Barry Moore. It will be interesting to see the outcome. Many national political experts predict that Trump may falter prior to the GOP nomination convention. They believe that at the end of the day the 2016

to advertising design, graphic illustration and digital design. She is also Benjamin Russell’s advisor for Echo, the school’s full-color yearbook. “Basically, I’m trying to get the students to have the skills where they can become a computer artist, graphic designer, photojournalist, any of those,” Fagan said. “To do that, most work is done digitally now, right? With computers. But, traditionally, you have to draw first before you go to the computer. So that’s basically what I do in intro. It’s an introduction to the basics of illustration. Perspective. Drawing. Like now, we’re doing batiks (an art form best known in Indonesia, but also popular in Malaysia, Singapore, India, Sri Lanka, Philippines and Nigeria). It’s just basically illustration by hand. “In graphic illustration, I treat them more like they’re on the job. They have to learn how to use type scales, they learn how to use proportion wheels. All of the things that we had to use before on the board. And we still have to do things by hand, like with t-squares and things of that nature, but we do a little bit on the computer as well.” In her digital design class, Fagan said students use Adobe Creative Suite 6, especially InDesign, PhotoShop and Illustrator, to create digital artwork, much of it live work such as advertisements, tickets or publications for Benjamin Russell’s many student and other school groups. Fagan said that her digital design
students will this year be able to earn the Adobe Certified Associate Certification in PhotoShop for Creative Suite 6. “That’s a good certification to have,” Fagan said. “And, even though the certification is specific to CS6, the certification indicates a degree of familiarity with the program.” But, rather than the certification her digital design course affords, perhaps Fagan is most proud of the articulation agreement she has negotiated with the Art Institute of Atlanta. “We’ve worked it out with the Art Institute of Atlanta so that if my students can go through intro, graphic illustration and digital design with at least an 85 average in all three classes, then they can get 16 hours of credit at AIA,” Fagan said. “I’ve had several student take advantage of it and they’re enjoying it.” Fagan said she’d like to arrange a similar agreement with the Savannah College of Art & Design. She says one of her former students, Blake Mitchell, is a SCAD graduate currently working as a graphic artist in New York and she hopes to have a chance to talk with him about helping her arrange such an agreement someday. One current student who has taken all of Fagan’s classes and is also an editor on the Echo staff is Makayla Wright. The BRHS senior has enjoyed Fagan’s classes so much that she will enroll at the Univeristy of Montevallo next fall to study graphic design. “Ms. Fagan’s taught me a lot of
skills that I’m going to use when I go off to school to be a graphic designer,” Wright said. “She’s actually the one that inspired me to choose this career path. “Being on the yearbook staff and taking all three of her courses I think has really helped me get a feel for what a career as a graphic designer will be like.” Scout Treadwell isn’t a budding graphic designer, but the Ole Missbound senior says she has learned a great deal in her four years on the Echo staff with Fagan as her advisor. “She’s really awesome,” Treadwell said. “Not only is she good at teaching us what to do, but she makes sure it’s like real-world stuff, that we make all of our deadlines. And she’s always her to encourage us, to make us feel like a team and make being a part of that team fun.” Fagan realizes that Wright will prove unusual among her students and that most – she estimates 80 percent – will not go to college. “That’s why, in addition to the skills I teach, I try to teach them things like work ethic, communication, teamwork and compromise,” Fagan said. “I like to think I’m a real kind of common sense, fair-minded person. I don’t care who you are, who your parents are, you have to do the work.” Arts & communication is among several career and technical programs at Benjamin Russell and other area schools. February is Career Tech Month and, throughout the month, The Outlook will highlight several of these programs.

Bolt is in her second year on the staff of the Benjamin Russell Echo staff. She is the daughter of Jennifer and Simon Morrow of Alexander City. “Columbia Scholastic Press offers awards for excellence in yearbook design in 42 different areas,” said Mary Jean Fagan, who serves as the advisor for the yearbook staff. “This is the second award of this kind that we’ve won at the Echo since I’ve been here. I’m extremely proud of Leeann. For her to be honored like this for her work in her first year on the staff is amazing.” Bolt said that her secret
to caption writing is simple. “I try to make variations in my captions,” Bolt said. “It’s kind of hard not to say the same thing repetitively. A lot of times, I put jokes inside mine.” Bolt said her favorite part of her yearbook class is research days and her least favorite is deadlines. Founded in 1925, the Columbia Student Press Association unites student editors and faculty advisers working with them who produce student
newspapers, magazines, yearbooks and online media. Students come from public, private and church-related schools and colleges throughout the United States and from overseas schools following an American plan of education. The Association is owned and operated by Columbia University. The Columbia Scholastic Press Association serves student journalists as follows: • To make clear expression the standard for suc-
cess; • To maintain the student media for students, by students and containing news of students; • To conduct contests and offer awards to make student media better than they were; and • To recognize that journalism can be a means towards broader understanding of society and people. The Association is a voluntary membership-based organization

Simpkins to speak on Alabama’s Nat King Cole at Adelia M. Russell Library STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
Daphne Simpkins, a member of the Alabama Humanities Foundation’s Road Scholars Speakers Bureau, will present “Alabama’s Own Nat King Cole” on Thursday, February 25, at 2 p.m., at Adelia M. Russell Library in Alexander City, AL. Everyone is welcome About the presentation: Nat King Cole not only lived the American dream, but he helped create it. As one of the most memorable voices in American music, Nat Cole literally went from rags to riches while singing about love, loss, the Mona Lisa and a Nature Boy. Although originally a jazz pianist, Cole moved into performing popular music because it paid better. He had made that same practical choice years earlier when he did not pursue a very promising career in professional baseball. Instead, as a pop singer, Cole gave voice to the lyrics that reflected the romance of
daily life in America. Cole’s life story parallels the growth of jazz in America, but his is also an interesting success story which occurred, in part, during the civil rights movement. This musical genius from Alabama was an artist, a performer and a businessman. This presentation explores his legacies. To read about more Road Scholar Speakers Bureau presentations, visit http://www.alabamahumanities.org/ programs/road/. About the scholar: Daphne Simpkins has written about life in the South for the past 20 years, and many of her essays have appeared in a variety of periodicals, but most often The Chicago Tribune. For the past two years, she has been the biographer of Mildred Budge, a fictional character she created to honor the sensible and heroic Southern women who are her neighbors and friends. Twenty of these short stories have appeared in Canada and in the U.S. They are also syndicated through churchmousepublications.com.
Bike “I hope that through this trip I can raise enough money to provide GO! Grants to schools that will help them get the things they need to expand physical education in their schools,” Gordon said. “If I can do that, then the trip would have been worthwhile.” While Gordon makes the trip on his bicycle, his wife Shari (along with the couple’s threeyear-old golden doodle, Chase) is escorting him in a recreational vehicle – a type of transportation with which she has very little experience. “It’s a little bit like Forrest Gump meets the Griswolds,” laughed Gordon, whose ride will take him through 10 states – South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. While Gordon pedals his way west, he is also challenging fellow sports

and fitness industry leaders – as well as the general public – to also help in this fundraising effort. “It’s time for the leaders in the sports and fitness industry to step up and get behind the efforts of PHIT America, which is working to revive our schools’ P.E. programs, which are the lifeblood of physical activity,” Gordon said. “Rising rates of physical inactivity are bad for business and bad for the future of the U.S. There’s lots of recent research that active kids do better, especially in the classroom.” According to PHIT, physical inactivity is the 4th leading cause of death and more people are dying of physical inactivity than smoking in America. For Tuesday, Doug and Shari Gordon and Chase were forced to take a break from the cross-country bike ride and park their RV at Wind Creek State Park. “It started getting to
dangerous to be on the road on a bicycle last night,” Gordon said. “And with the weather like it’s supposed to be later today or tonight, we just decided to take the day off. Hopefully, we’ll be able to head back out tomorrow.” Gordon’s career in sports began in earnest when he walked on to head coach John Pont’s Indiana University Hoosier football team in 1972. Lee Corso took the helm for the Hoosiers in 1973 and Gordon earned a scholarship. After graduation from IU, Gordon worked for such companies as Speedo, Wilson, adidas, Fila and Mizuno in his 40-year career in the sporting goods industry. PHIT America is a cause and campaign dedicated to increasing physical activity and fitness to improve the health of all Americans. PHIT America was launched in January 2013 with the support of more than 100 companies and organizations.

Early intervention decreases need for special education STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
The Alabama Department of Mental Health encourages Alabamians to learn about Alabama’s Early Intervention System. AEIS, a program of the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services, coordinates services statewide for infants and toddlers with disabilities and developmental delays from birth to age 3, preparing them and their families for the transition to the Alabama State Department of Education’s First Class Pre-K program. In FY15, AEIS served 6,231 infants and toddlers and their families. ADMH participates in AEIS by contracting with 24 local community agencies across the state to provide direct EI services to eligible infants and toddlers and their families. Commissioner Jim Perdue recently paid a visit to one of those agencies, the Shoals
Committee on Programs and Employment, in Florence. While at SCOPE he spent some time learning about their EI program and interacting with a couple of toddlers. Commissioner Perdue said, “Money spent on children is money well spent. Our return on investment becomes evident as they mature into responsible adults. My mission is to make sure that we invest in our best asset: our children.” Studies indicate: • About one in six children in the U.S. had one or more developmental disabilities or delays in 2006-2008 (CDC)
• The prevalence of parent reported developmental disabilities increased 17 percent from 1997-2008 (CDC) • 46 percent of children who had received Early Intervention and been at risk of needing special education services did not need special education at kindergarten age (NEILS) • Every dollar spent on Early Intervention saves $7 in future costs (Heckman) Children receiving EI services through ADMH contracts do not have to have a mental health concern or diagnosis, but must meet the AEIS eligibility criteria of

WILDCATS SHINE AT STATE
Thompson era begins for AU baseball team
T
his past weekend marked the opening of the college baseball season around the country and in particular the Butch Thompson era at Auburn University. Thompson replaces former Auburn coach Sunny Golloway who was dismissed back in September for a long list of reasons which I won’t go into. Golloway’s overall record in two years on the Plains was 64-54 and he was 23-37 in the SEC. While the play on the field wasn’t necessarily stellar, he did get the Tigers to a Regional for the first time since 2010. Butch Thompson has been a veteran assistant coach in the SEC for 13 years spending three of those at Auburn from 2006-2008. He is the total antithesis in personality to Sunny Golloway and is one of the most respected pitching coaches in the entire country. Opening day of the 2016 season at Plainsman Park will always be a very memorable experience for Butch Thompson. It will forever be recorded as his first victory as the head coach at Auburn. The Tigers pounded out 10 runs on 14 hits and cruised to a season-opening 10-5 win over the Sacramento State Hornets. However, the game was also a bit inauspicious as Auburn struggled in the field making seven errors. I’m chalking the temporary case of fumble fingers up to nerves because the Tigers didn’t commit a single error the rest of the weekend. In practically every level of baseball, a team is only as good as its pitching staff. This especially applies to college baseball in the day and age of BBCOR (Ball-Bat Coefficient of Restitution) which are meant to perform like wooden bats. Auburn only returns three pitchers from last season with any real experience. Thompson brought in seven transfers and four freshmen to help fill out the bullpen as well as the starting rotation. It’s impossible to know how these new arms will perform, but the Tigers have no choice but to count on unproven commodities. Tiger veteran Cole Lipscomb pitched game one of the series and looked great. Transfer Ben Braymer and freshman Casey Mize pitched four scoreless innings to secure the victory. Tiger veteran Justin Camp started game two of the series and also looked great. Unfortunately, the bullpen did not perform as well this go around. The Tigers blew a 5-3 lead giving up 4 runs in the 8th inning and losing 6-5. Again, the Tigers blew a 6-4 lead in game three of the series in the 8th inning and ended up losing 7-6 in 12 innings. Pitching will be the difference this year for better or for worse. Sunny Golloway didn’t exactly leave the program in the best of shape. For instance, there are only two sophomores on the entire roster and they’re both transfers. Not one single freshman brought in last year returned in 2016. That giant hole will catch up with the Tigers sooner or later and it will be Butch Thompson who has to deal with it through no fault of his own. Thompson will certainly be given a grace period having to deal with roster issues and some burned bridges left by the previous staff. I hope Butch will do a great job, but truthfully, I can’t say for sure Auburn hired the right coach. However, there’s no question in my mind Auburn hired the right man this time.

Benjamin Russell seniors Daniel Bland, above left, and Tae Robinson, above right, brought home state championships at last weekend’s AHSAA state wrestling competition. Fellow BRHS senior Thomas Coley, below, took home second place in the competition at 160 pounds.
Bland, Robinson win titles, Coley finishes second By ROBERT HUDSON Sports Editor
The Benjamin Russell Wildcats returned from Huntsville with a pair of state titles and a successful showing in the state competition. The Wildcats wrestling team finished eighth overall out of 32 teams at the Alabama High School Athletic Association state wrestling tournament held in Huntsville this past weekend. Benjamin Russell senior Daniel Bland won his third straight state title as a heavyweight, second-straight in Class 6A, while senior Tae Robinson won the state title at 220 pounds. Benjamin Russell’s Thomas Coley and Andrew Queen also placed second and sixth respectively at the tournament. “We had a great weekend with four people place,” said Benjamin Russell Coach Jeremy Stanford. “We had Andrew Queen finish sixth at 132 pounds, Thomas Coley finished second at 160 pounds, Tae Robinson finished first at 220 pounds and Daniel Bland finished first at 285 pounds. It was a great weekend for those three seniors and Andrew, who is a junior coming back, so it’s a good experience for him.” Coley said the finish was the culmination of a lot of hard work
he has put in over his four years at BRHS. “I felt like all of the hard work in the summer, all of the practices and all of the tournaments we went to actually paid off,” Coley said. “I’ll remember just the bond that everybody had on the team. Everybody came together whenever we needed to come together.” With a third straight title, Bland said he is turning his attention to nationals where he will compete along with Coley. “Me and T. Coley are going to be headed to Virginia Beach to wrestle and then the Disney Duals in Orlando to wrestle in Nationals,” Bland said. “We’ll be going to the (Thompson High School) Warrior Wrestling Club every weekend and try to get a little session of running from day-to-day.” Stanford said all four wrestlers put in the work necessary to achieve success. “Daniel is the first three-time state champion in our school history, I believe. Tae had worked hard all year. He started out at 257 (pounds) at the end of football season and was working all year long to get down to 220 to be able to wrestle,” Stanford said. “He was able to do that and the hard work paid off as he brought home a state championship. Thomas Coley, coming in he did a great job coming in
as a sixth seed and worked his way into the finals. Those three seniors get to go out with a lot of pride and so does all five of our senior class. All five made it to state.” Robinson said he could hardly believe it win he won the state title. “I had some pretty good guys to compete against in the 220pound weight class. There was a three-time champ that left last year and another guy that me and him had good competition last year,” Robinson said. “It feels good to finally win. After some of those guys were gone, I was like one of the last pretty good
220s. So, it just felt really good winning. It really didn’t feel real. After I won, I kind of hit me a cartwheel and a little roll.” Bland added he is thankful to have been a member of this year’s team. “It’s been a good year, been fun with these boys through these last four years. It’s just fun hanging out with them and seeing them go off to college and being successful,” Bland said. “I just want say ‘thank you’ to my coaches, Coach Jeremy Stanford, Coach Charles Woods and Coach Michael Ransaw for helping us get to where we needed to be during the season.”
Lady Wildcats searching for more goals early in 2016 By ROBERT HUDSON Sports Editor
The Benjamin Russell Lady Wildcats are looking to produce a little more offense in the first half of the 2016 season. After opening the season with a 3-1 home loss to Northridge earlier this month, the Lady Wildcats travelled to southern Alabama and walked away with three wins in four games. At the annual Southern Shootout tournament, Benjamin Russell captured a 1-0 win over Faith Academy, lost 2-0 to Spanish Fort, defeated Murphy 1-0 and defeated St. Paul’s Episcopal 1-0. After the Southern Shootout, the Lady Wildcats lost 4-0 at home to McGill-Toolen and 1-0 on the road at Trinity Presbyterian to put their record at 3-4 on the season. Benjamin Russell Coach Lee Wagoner said the Lady Wildcats’ defense, as expected, has been solid, but they still are having trouble producing goals. “We went to the Southern Shootout, played four games down there and came out with a 3-1 record,” Wagoner said. “The first few games we’ve played, and not to make excuses about the difficulty of our schedule, but we’ve just got to find ourselves on the field. Defensively, we’ve been very sound, but we’ve still been lacking a bit trying to create offense.” Wagoner said the opportunities to score have been there, but the Lady Wildcats simply have to finish better at goal. “We’ve only scored five total goals on the season, and even though we’re winning, we’re squeaking out 1-0 victories when we do,” Wagoner said. “So, we’d like to see our

goal totals come up for the games going forward. We’ve just got to finish our chances. We’ve had plenty of opportunities to score, we’re just not putting them away right now.” But throughout the first seven games, Wagoner said he has been impressed with the play of the Lady Wildcats, as a number of players are starting to adjust to their roles. “But I do see good glimpses of hope. Some of our younger players are beginning to settle in to the varsity game. I think they’re becoming more acclimated to the speed of the game,” Wagoner said. “Last game we played against Trinity, who is ranked No. 4 in 4A-5A. We lost but the girls stepped up in that game and started making some good
decisions on the field as far as ball movement goes.” Benjamin Russell will try to make up their game against Stanhope Elmore, which was cancelled on Tuesday due to inclement weather. Regardless, the Lady Wildcats will travel next week for the start of their all-important sectional games. “We’re going to Pell City next Tuesday and those section games are must-win because there are only three teams per section and you have to win those games to advance,” Wagoner said. “I feel confident in where we are as a team right now, just once again I want to echo the point that I’m waiting for our goal scorers to step up.”

50+ to help with opening day Are all these political signs telling the truth?
T
he Alexander City Parks & Recreation 50+ added a new Opening Day Senior Committee this past week. These committee members will be helping out with the Opening Day of the Alex City Little League Baseball program. This is a fantastic way that anyone with the love of baseball can help out the community. Committee members in attendance included Sherry Peavy, Johnny and Sandra Thompson, Chuck Gallagher and Elizabeth Huffman. We went over the schedule for the event and, although it will be a little stressful, we know it will be worth it for the kids. Those that renewed their ACPR 50+ wavier form for 2016 should have received or will be receiving the March and April calendar of activities. We took the time to mail out the forms during the month of October. This gave members plenty of time to mail or drop off your renewal form. If you did not return your form or lost your form, you will have to come to the Activity Center to fill out another form. If you signup for any offered day trip during March and April and have not renewed your form, you will not be eligible to go. You will have the opportunity to go on any planned day trips after April. The February Monthly Luncheon dishes were some of the best we’ve had and that’s saying a lot because all dishes brought in by members at all the monthly luncheons are really, really great! It was our last time to have our soup-and-salad themed luncheon. The food was blessed, we sang Happy Birthday to our February babies, welcomed newcomers and then we

dug in! Gumbo, beef soup, chicken Mexican soup, chicken and dumplings, the list goes on and on. Pies, cakes, cookies and tarts could not be missed, plus all those side salad dishes were divine indeed! We had sweet special visitors to come as well that day to hand out Valentines to everyone. Stephanie Childers brought her four children to be a part of the event. Not only did they help from start to finish, but lots of times in between. Those members who attended wanted her and her children to know how much they appreciated all that they did. It is so great to have young children get involved with community programs. Stephanie and her children will always be welcomed at the Activity Center! If you were also wondering how the “Human Bingo” game panned out, well, when you create a new game it certainly helps to have multiple people there to play in order to figure out the in-between ways on how to play! It really was a fun way to get people to interact with one another and it never hurts to win a prize along the way too! We’ll definitely have to give it another go in the future. Many hugs to those who willingly participated! 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.
H
appy Birthday to Riley Elizabeth Jackson, who turns 10 on Feb. 25, and to all of the special Leap Year birthday babies born on Feb. 29, making this one last 3 years. Many politicians are selling their abilities now and with so many signs on the roadsides, it’s difficult to tell if homes are for sale or asking ‘vote for me.’ I find it interesting groups can tell ‘porky pies’ on others and no one seems to care about telling the truth. When I was growing up, telling the truth was one of the most important guidelines taught by my parents. If we lied, we were told, the punishment would be twice what it would be for the wrongdoing. My brother Maurice was a mixture of daredevil and Dennis the Menace but he always told the truth and grew into a fair, giving, loving and honest adult. Take the opportunity on March 1 to cast your vote. It’s the American thing to do. Although, I must say it bothers me that after being in this country for over 45 years, (working and speaking the language) I don’t have the right to vote only because I kept my British heritage, of which I am proud. While those who come to California illegally are given welfare and the right to vote. That doesn’t quite seem fair. I see how the average person can think that they have been let down by those in Washington. I am in

that group. Things cost so much more, we get less as we pay more for smaller amounts. Those in the running promise so much and forget it all once they get up with the others in Washington, giving the impression that they don’t work for us. I was saddened to read the obituary last week of Robert Rogers who grew up in Coosa County and made his home with wife Jan in Griffin, Georgia. Ron’s second cousin Kenneth Faul Morgan (85, born Oct. 15, 1930) of Montgomery went to Heaven on Feb. 16, with a private family graveside service at Greenwood on Feb. 19. Ron’s Daddy Sam’s father, and Kenneth’s Daddy were brothers. And it was Kenneth’s Daddy, Faul Wallace Morgan, aka “Papa Morgan.” Much
later Ron was “Papa Morgan” to his Morgan grandchildren. Kenneth Morgan was not only goodlooking, he was a delightful man, easy to talk with and very smart. He served in the Korean War and was honorably discharged. He worked in the auto industry for 40 years, finally owning Kenneth Morgan Motors, and was a lifetime member of Trinity Presbyterian Church, where he served as Deacon. His survivors included Joann DuBose Morgan, wife of 60 years, daughter Alice Russell Morgan, and his sister, Barbara “June” Griffin. The Morgan family also have Coosa roots that were not known during the formulation of the Coosa Heritage Book, a project that I chaired for the Historical Society. So funny how things work. We learned after some research done by Ron’s cousin Debbie that their great-greatgreat-grandfather James William Morgan (born about 1784 in
North Carolina) was listed to be “home” in subdivision two, with the post office of Mount Olive in Coosa County in 1860. Other records confirm James Morgan enlisted from Greenville, Alabama into the Confederate States Army in 1861 with discharge dated 1865. He died in 1871 (age 88) and is buried in Socopatoy Cemetery on Highway 9, although we searched and couldn’t locate the grave. So Ron truly has a Coosa heritage. Knowing family history is a wonderful thing. It gives such a sense of well-being to know how our families came about within the bounds of the historical actions of long ago. Embrace your heritage, vote, and until next week, keep smiling. Rosie Morgan is a community columnist for The Outlook.
