Jacksons Gap Mayor Jeff Walker presented a budget at the council meeting Thursday night amidst questions of town spending after a year of finding the town overspent $70,000 last year. “We busted our budget last year,” Walker

said. “Looks like we went over at least 60 grand.” Overtime in police department and within town hall shares the brunt of the over budget figure. At Thursday’s meeting that was rescheduled from Tuesday due to lack of quorum, discussion centered around the overtime and training expenses.

“Overtime pretty much caused us to go over budget,” Walker said. Walker and new council member Carl Pritchard were at odds over the overtime especially for Jacksons Gap Police Chief B.C. Cooper. “Town policy and procedure says all See JACKSONS GAP • Page 3

Three-day MLK Day celebration begins today By MITCH SNEED Editor

Martin Luther King Jr. Day in Alexander City is a time when the community celebrates and reflects back on how far the community has come and looks ahead to the potential for the future. While Monday is the actual holiday, Alexander City residents can take part in three days of events to commemorate this special time. It all starts this morning with a special Prayer Breakfast beginning at 8 a.m. at Stephen’s Elementary School Gym. The food at the event has become legendary and tickets are only $10. “We always have a big turnout for the prayer breakfast,” MLK Celebration Committee Chairperson Ouida Maxwell said. “It’s a great tome to come out and visit and see folks that you haven’t seen in a while. The food and the fellowship that is present is something that leaves you with a great feeling.” Last summer Alexander City experienced a sad moment that turned out to be an event that brought the city closer together. Thomas “Tu Tu” Marbury passed a few weeks after he was struck by a vehicle as he walked in the downtown area. The community came together by the

Sisters turning passion into their dream bakery business By MITCH SNEED Editor

Three sisters chasing a dream is what fueled the creation of Sweet Gaga’s Bakery in Alexander City. Located at 126 Marshall Street, Heather Johnson, Brittni McDonald-Moran and Hallie McDonald purchased the building last April and after months of work and the help of family and friends, the sisters opened the business in December. “This really was a dream

When the opportunity to do this came up, it was something that we just couldn’t pass up.” The smell of fresh baked cakes, cookies, pastries, rolls and cupcakes hits you when you walk in the door. When you take a bite of one of the creations, the taste is even better. The bakery opens at 7 See BAKE • Page 3

Part of Wellborn’s auto collection hits national stage today By MITCH SNEED Editor

If you want to see part of a worldfamous Alexander City classic car collection sold on a national stage, today is the day for you. Alexander City’s Tim and Pam Wellborn will have 11 of the cars from their prized collection on display at Mecum’s Auction in Kissimmee today. The cars that have been in the Wellborn Musclecar Museum will roll through the auction between 1 and 3 p.m. today. The bidding can be watched live at www.mecum.com or on NBC Sports Network. Tim Wellborn said the idea is to

make room for new displays at the museum and keep their collection fresh. “We had a great time down there in 2015 and what that did is allow us to get some of the cars that we haven’t had on display into the museum,” Wellborn said. “That is what we are hoping for this time around too.” Among the cars the Wellborns will have on the block are a classic 1971 Dodge Hemi Charger R/T that has about 9,800 miles and was just one of 63 produced that year. Wellborn will also put up two prized Corvettes as well as another 1971 Plymouth GTX and a classic See WELLBORN • Page 7

My wife had huge issues with it, and the next time I wanted to attend, she got very upset. There was an iciness around the house for three days after I went. That was a month ago, and I haven’t gone again. I resent my wife’s resistance. This coming Sunday, I plan to tell her I’ll be “going out” and will be back in a couple of hours. No doubt she’ll know I’m at church, and I’ll pay the price with her cold attitude or tears. Does she have a right to tell me I can’t attend a particular church? -MOVED BY THE SPIRIT DEAR MOVED: No, she does not! In light of the fact that you haven’t attended church together in years, she should be happy for you.

Perhaps it will be the wakeup call she needs to clean up her vocabulary. However, if that isn’t effective, then it’s up to you to teach your granddaughter that dirty words cannot be used in your home. Reward her when she remembers, remind her when she forgets and institute penalties if it persists. That’s how kids learn, and you will be doing her a favor if you start early.

DEAR ABBY: My friend “Russ” is a sweet, quiet, reserved guy with a goofy side. He’s in his mid-20s, but has never kissed a girl or gone out on a date. (He is the kind of person girls regard as a brother figure.) He has no confidence and doesn’t drink, dance or let loose. I have seen his dating profiles, and they are brutally unappealing. I want to help Russ find someone before it’s too late. I hate seeing him lonely. He needs someone to give him a chance and help him learn to be more confident. I know it’s wrong to try to change someone, but I feel if he doesn’t get some help, no one will ever give him the time of day. He needs a sense of adventure and, frankly, a change of wardrobe.

Jacksons Gap department heads are to be considered salaried employees.” Pritchard said. “And no employee shall order his or herself into overtime.” A copy of the policies confirm that. Walker responded the paid overtime to the chief of police was recommended by the state. “That is not what the State of Alabama courts have said,” Walker explained. “Robin (Kelly, town attorney) is not here so I can’t go into any detail. Some things you can’t go against the state.” The Federal Department of Labor law seems to dispute that claim. The main issue with overtime appears to be the on call situation. “Our sheriff’s department requires us to have an officer on call,” Walker said. Walker proposed a budget Thursday night that will hopefully have the town $15,000 in the black. He also said some expenses experienced last year will not occur this year – election costs, no necessary vehicle purchase and a move to reduce expenses, one of which is overtime mainly in the police department. Records show Cooper made about $30,000 in overtime. “Chief, I know we have to use overtime. We have to cover calls,” Walker said. “What I want to propose, since I don’t know how much overtime we will have is this. We use our employees only when necessary, which we already do. When we use our officers to maybe spread it out a little more. If we can, when we work over 40 hours, we need to take off when we can instead of accruing overtime. Chief, keep a log of your overtime and turn it in weekly, that way I can eyeball it.” The other place where overtime is being accrued is in town hall itself. “I have already told Fran and Kathleen, when we have court and meetings, maybe we can alternate taking a half day,” Walker said. “Hopefully that will bring down our overtime pay.” Besides overtime, Pritchard wanted to discuss expenses related to training for the council. “We spent over $500,000 in 2016,” Pritchard said. “The salaries were in excess of $320,000 with benefits and conventions were $18,600. For a little town, that is a lot of money.” That was on $442,000 in revenues. With no budget in place Walker explained that they were still operating on last year’s budget and Walker highlighted one point. “The court has already brought in more than projected for the first three months of the budget,” Walker stated. Pritchard was the lone no vote in approval of payment of bills because it included prepayment of expenses for upcoming conventions. Walker explained Friday that he thinks the $18,600 is not just for the council training. “I don’t think that is just for the council,” Walker said. “The year before last I think we only spent $4,000 or $5,000

continued from page 1

on council training.” Walker explained that the council held work sessions and created an ordinance on the matter last year. “Travel and mileage are in the personnel policy,” Walker said. “You get 15 days per council member and $100 a day per diem.” Pritchard said he thinks the training expense is excessive. “Last year it says we spent $18,600 on conventions,” Pritchard said. “ For a little town that is a lot of money.” The Outlook checked with area municipalities to see what they spent. In fiscal year 2016, New Site spent $0 on council training but did send new members to a required course for new members in November. Dadeville spent $3,356.28 on training and sent new members to the November course as well. In Alexander City only two members are approved to travel to the conference. The total cost is about $3,000. Walker explained Friday that the town also covers the cost of registration and hotel when needed and that he thinks the $18,600 is overstated for the council in this budget. “I drive if they’re close because hotels are so expensive,” Walker said Friday. “The year before last we only spent about $4,000 to $5,000 on the council. I think this year includes training for the police department and other town staff that is required.” Thursday’s discussion centered on training to becoming a certified municipal official. “Correct me if I am wrong, don’t we have to have so many hours to maintain certified municipal officer?” Heather Glenn asked. “You have to have at least 40 hours to become a certified municipal official,” Town Clerk Kathleen Thomas said. “That is if you are interested in becoming one,” Dana Ford said. According to the Alabama League of Municipalities the certified municipal official is voluntary. The Certified Municipal Official Program is voluntary and open to all elected municipal officials. The League conducts a one-day continuing education session at least twice a year at four regional sites. These sessions are for elected municipal officials – mayors and councilmembers – who voluntarily wish to receive formal training in municipal government. Participants earn five credit hours by attending these sessions. Credit hours may also be earned by attending other League or National League of Cities conferences or through service on League committees and boards. Outside credit is also awarded for attendance of approved seminars. The Jacksons Gap Council also: • approved the minutes as corrected. Pritchard wanted discussion about not using purchase orders and only using hand written time sheets for employees added. • Glenn explained that she would have a letter at the next council meeting to send out about annexation. The next meeting of the Jacksons Gap Council is Feb. 14 at 6:30 p.m.

Celebration hundreds to celebrate his life in a special memorial service. Sunday at 2:30 p.m., the committee that he served as a part of for more than two decades will unveil a memorial in his honor. One of the benches that he was seen sitting on almost every day near the public safety building has been restored and will be placed in the grassy area near the roundabout to serve as a reminder of Tu Tu’s impact on the city. “We really hope to have a big crowd come out for that,” Maxwell said. “Obviously we haven’t done this before, but we felt it was important to have something downtown to remember him and how much he meant to us all. People will really love what we have come up with with the help of the city and others who donated their time and effort to pull together.” On Monday, the traditional 27th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration is set and this year a special salute is planned for area veterans. Monday’s events will kickoff with a parade starting at Stephens Elementary School at 9 a.m. The traditional route will be followed leaving the school and heading downtown before circling back to the school. Following the parade a program is set for the Stephens Elementary School Gym with guest speaker Dr. Randy B. Kelley Sr. delivering the keynote address. Kelley is currently the pastor of Goodsell United Methodist Church in Lanett and Powell Chapel United Methodist Church in Lafayette. He is a former Alabama NAACP state board member, a former Gadsden city council member and serves on the state Democratic Executive Committee.

They say that being family, they are their own worst critics. That’s why they won’t serve anything but the best taste possible to customers. They have been getting positive feedback from customers and say there is nothing that a customer may want that they can’t do. From weddings cakes, to children’s cakes to special order cookies, the sister are creating confectionary magic every day. “We had a customer who wanted some special German cookies and we were able to do that for them,” Heater said. “That’s the kind of thing we all enjoy. Creating new things and making the customers happy in the process is what has been very satisfying.” They welcome people to stop by and see what they offer and if there is something special they would like, let them know, they say.

The sisters say there is a lot of love and passion in what they do. “Growing up, our mother made cakes for our family,” Hallie said. “All special occasions, whether it be a birthday, wedding or other event, she always made the celebration delicious with a special confection. Mama always told us God gave her the talent and she passed along her love of baking to us. We were always there, but we were the kind that would grab a spoon and run off and eat it.” Heather and Hallie studied at Culinard in Birmingham, while Brittni took creative cooking classes and cake decorating classes, before making cakes for people at home and in other bakeries. “We all worked at different places,” Brittni said. “We were servers, pastry chefs, we worked family businesses. But this is what we always wanted to do. “ The family converted a building that was a house that then morphed into a lawyer’s office and then a dress shop.

onday is being celebrated across the country as Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a day to honor the man who urged civil disobedience as a form of protest and helped African Americans throughout the country gain any number of rights and equalities. In fact, we are celebrating the life and remembering the death of this wise man right here in Alexander City with a parade and celebratory ceremony. The parade will feature city leaders, several church groups and vintage cars on the route through town. The celebration ceremony will feature young people who have done positive things in the city, including MLK Jr. Day Committee scholarship winners, a salute to veterans, music, and the headline speaker, Rev. Dr. Randy Kelley Sr. In addition to offering a day off and of celebration, Martin Luther King Jr. Day – and especially the activities planned for the city – offer the races a chance to come together in celebration of the freedoms we all enjoy. It should be a celebration for all of our nation’s ability to overcome strife, recognize struggle and right any wrongs that we encounter. Rev. King once told us, “Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.” The journey is not likely complete for any of us, regardless of color. We will likely continue to run into injustices, both personal and broad, that must be undone either individually or collectively. Even when the individual faces his or her own personal injustice, it behooves each of us to step into the fray and fight for what is right, fight for justice. King could foresee our continued struggle. We should collectively celebrate his foresight and his longing for what is right and remember his words: “Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.”

The winter storm that wasn’t

ate last week, those of us who love snow – yep, I’m one of ‘em – and don’t often see it got excited. The weathermen in these parts were convinced we’d get some type of winter weather – maybe not snow but at least enough sleet or something icy for us to get our winter-weather jones temporarily out of our system. They talked about it for at least three days prior to the “event.” We woke up last Friday morning thinking, “This’ll be the day I see that rare Southern snowflake.” Alas, it was a bust. All the area saw was a cold rain. It seems we’ve had many busts of late. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. While many of us are fond of the occasional snow here in the South, it can pose dangers when we’re not used to it, especially behind the wheel of those two-ton machines we’re so dependent upon to get us from place to place. That’s one of the biggest reasons our forecasters in the South err on the side of safety, perhaps being a bit more aggressive than forecasters throughout the rest of the country when it comes to winter weather.

DAVID GRANGER TPI Staff

That’s why people like Eric Jones, director of the county’s Emergency Management Agency, warn against the complacency that may be born of what is necessarily caution – and the occasional bust – on the part of Southern meteorologists. “That’s how you end up with kids staying in schools over night and people stranded on the side of the roadway,” Jones said. In fact, who can forget the Snowmageddon situation in Atlanta when most of the offices and schools in the city dismissed nearsimultaneously and traffic ended up in an icy snarl? I don’t know about you, but I don’t relish any thought of walking up Highway 9 in January in bone-chilling wind and ice, sleet or snow. Not my idea of a winter wonderland. So before we lash out at the hard-working meteorologists at the National Weather Service – those same people who are so adept at warning us

John McKelvey

George Carleton Jr.

of tornadoes in time for us to get to our place of safety – let’s think about what life would be like without them, the terrible consequences they likely help us avoid. And before we dress down our Emergency Management folks for advising “unnecessary” road and school closures, let’s be thankful that we have people willing to give their time at all hours of the day and night to watch the weather and make decisions that will keep us and our children safe and warm. Perhaps more than anything, let’s don’t let the most recent winter-weather near-miss lull us to sleep, make us open to ignore the watch, warning or advisory that may come our way next. The cold is nothing to take chances with. Icy roads are nothing to take chances with. And, most importantly, your life is nothing to take a chance with. Thankfully, we’ve got those who are dedicated to keeping us safe when ornery weather rears its ugly head – winter, spring, summer or fall.

Letters to the Editor Reader appreciated another view of former fire, police chiefs Dear Editor, In a world of so much ugliness, fake news, innuendo and gossip, I want to thank the Outlook for their Wednesday, Jan. 11 opinion on Police Chief Willie Roberson and Fire Chief Kem Jones, is very well written in praise of two dedicated leaders of this community. I , like many others, had no idea of the depth of their dedication to their positions. I have met Chief Robinson a few times concerning a few problems and found him to be

professional and welcoming to his office. I realize not everyone will agree, that comes with the job. You cannot please everyone so you just do your best to be fair. I’ve never met Fire Chief Kem Jones, but I wish I had. Who ever wrote this opinion column, I cannot thank you enough for exposing to all Alex City residents the dedicated, caring professionals that we now have lost Jones and Robinson do deserve out thanks and respect and they

also deserve a second look by the council. Perhaps they were not aware of the impressive career as city leaders that these two had. Kem Jones and Chief Robinson and along with the Outlook, thank you, we need more like you. Your dedication to Alex City will be missed. Annette Lynch Alexander City

Wellborn

1970 Plymouth Road Runner Convertible that served as the well-cared-for Wellborn Museum’s Demonstrator, plus many more. While a lot of the focus will be on the cars that Wellborn is selling, Tim said he will likely be bringing a few cars back to Alexander City as well. “There are a few cars that we have our eye on,” Wellborn said. “You know me, I can’t be around the kind of cars that are at that auction without buying something. We are excited about it and look forward to being a part of the auction.” You will likely get a glimpse of Pam and Tim on the broadcast as well. Following the appearance at the auction in 2015, Tim has been a regular on Mecum broadcasts. “We are excited that Tim and Pam chose us to trust with part of their collection,” John Kraman, who is the director of consignment for Mecum and the host of the auction broadcasts on NBCSN said. “It’s always a big draw when the Wellborns offer up part of their collection.” +

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Expect to be out among the crowds. Hanging close to home could contribute to a potential case of cabin fever. You have much to do and share. A friend or loved one joins you as you get into the winter spirit. News from a distance marks your mood. Tonight: Head home early. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your creativity surges as you face several hassles and some “What If” issues. You have a lot of energy to start a long-overdue project. You might surprise yourself by how fast you are able to complete this activity to your satisfaction. Tonight: Enjoy a special person in your life. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have the right words and the originality to make an impression on others, especially a child or loved one. You don’t need to work on your appeal -- you simply need to be yourself. Often you feel as if you need to entertain others. Tonight: The party could end up at your home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You would be wise to review your budget before taking on any more commitments. You work hard to achieve what you want in life. Don’t allow a moment of weakness to throw a long-term plan into chaos. Tonight: Visit with a neighbor or relative, as this person has news to share! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You will bring a lot of excitement to those around you just by being yourself. You seem to send out good vibes that few will be able to resist. Communication excels, and there could be a group of people that you will want to put together. Tonight: Let it all hang out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Make it OK to be sluggish today, if that’s how you feel. Very soon, you will feel much livelier. Use caution with your spending, even if you are using the funds to simplify your life. Do not forget that there is always tomorrow! Tonight: Follow your

impulses, within reason. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) If you could do whatever you want, within reason, what would you do? With the exception of a diɉcult conversation, much that occurs today will be to your liking. Clear the air, and you’ll create much more of what you desire. Tonight: Don’t leave your lucky rabbit’s foot at home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Lose some self-discipline, and do whatever you want. You deserve that type of indulgence after having been so responsible and willing to step up to the plate as of late. Remain mindful of a long-term desire, as the possibility exists to make it so. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) If you’re hoping for a few free hours, when you can take oɈ and do what you want, now is the time! Don’t invite someone along, unless you really desire some company and this person understands you well. Suddenly, you could change direction. Tonight: Be near good music. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Others turn to you, whether it is for help with making plans or for some advice. You generally deliver in a very gracious manner. Today is no diɈerent, except that you might impose a time limit on your involvement; you have other Äsh to fry. Tonight: Screen your calls. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Defer to others, and allow them to have greater give-and-take in making plans. When you Änally understand more of what they want, you can be more active and receptive. Get together with loved ones and go to a game or some other entertaining event. Tonight: Hopefully out. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might wonder which direction to go in, or which plans to go along with. Take some time to level out, as you could be more tired than you realize. Better yet, take a nap, and then do something just for you. Your questions will dissolve quickly. Tonight: A late dinner.

Generals sweep Holtville Horseshoe Bend varsity boys, girls get home court wins By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor

The Horseshoe Bend varsity boys came out on top on the home hardwood Friday as the Generals defeated Holtville by a score of 72-58. The night started off slow for Horseshoe Bend as the team narrowly trailed by putting up 15 points while the Bulldogs had 16 in the first quarter. At the half it was anybody’s game as the score was tied at 28 after the Generals added 13 more points in the second quarter while Holtville added 12. In the second half the Horseshoe Bend varsity boys hit their stride as they added 22 more points in the third and fourth quarters. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs only managed 15 more in each of the final two quarters. Horseshoe Bend varsity boys basketball head coach Chad Kison was pleased with his team’s performance Friday. “It was a good game,” he said. “It was an all-around good effort. We had a couple of guys who led in the scoring and I thought they moved the ball well. “We did really well defensively,” Kinson added. “We didn’t give up a lot of second chance opportunities, so I thought we played a lot of good defense. We rebounded really well too.” Leading the Generals in the win was Horseshoe Bend junior Nalijah Heard with 23 points. He had help from senior Tyus Ford with 15 points and junior Cade Worthy, who had 13. It was a better outcome than the Generals’ Thursday home game when they lost to Ranburne 65-55. “We were down for a long time and came back in the end and tied it up to go into overtime,” Kison said. “But they got hot in overtime. But we battled hard.” Friday’s win brings the Horseshoe Bend varsity boys’ season record to 6-6 overall and 1-3 in the region. The Horseshoe Bend varsity girls also had a successful night on the home hardwood Friday. The Lady Generals defeated Holtville by a score of 70-33. The game was Horseshoe Bend’s from the start as the Lady Generals put up 26 points in the first quarter while Holtville had 13. The Horseshoe Bend varsity girls’ momentum only ramped up in the second and third quarters as they added 16 and 21 more points. Meanwhile, the Lady Bulldogs struggled as they only added six and 13 more. Although the Lady Generals slowed down the pace in the final quarter by adding seven last points to their lead, Holtville only managed to add one more point in the fourth. Horseshoe Bend varsity girls basketball head coach Erica Meigs was happy with the game’s outcome, especially since it was achieved with the help of team members who haven’t previously had much playing time. “I was real proud of the way they did,” she said. “A lot of them got opportunities they’ve not had before.”

During the Horseshoe Bend varsity boys home game against Holtville Friday, junior Nalijah Heard goes for a layup while members of the Bulldogs defense look on.

Leading the Lady Generals in the win was Horseshoe Bend sophomore center Ivy Vickers with 20 points. She had help from senior guard Zakkiah Lyons with 17 points and sophomore guard Chandler McWhorter, who had 11. Friday’s outcome was much better for the Lady Generals than Thursday’s when Horseshoe Bend lost to Ranburne 57-28 at home. Meigs was disappointed in the loss. “We just weren’t giving 100 percent

for four quarters,” she said, “and that’s what we have got to have.” Despite the loss, Lyons led the Lady Generals in scoring Thursday with 13 points. Senior guard Heather Clanton also had seven. Friday’s win brings the Lady Generals’ season record to 8-5 overall and 1-3 in the region. Horseshoe Bend next hosts Lanett Tuesday.
