Dispute over dog leads to fatal shooting By MITCH SNEED Editor
A dispute between two Coosa County men over a dog resulted in a shooting and one man’s death. According to Coosa County Sheriff Terry Wilson, 63-year-old Charlie Hayes of Hidden Valley died late Wednesday evening after he was flown to UAB for treatment of a gunshot wound. Wilson said that they had received a call at 1:22 p.m. about a person having been shot on Coosa County Road 5 in the Hidden Valley Community. Deputies arrived on scene and found Sylacauga Ambulance and Marble Valley Fire first responders rendering assistance to Hayes, Wilson said. The scene was secured by deputies and a preliminary investigation found that there had been a dispute between Hayes and Michael Mitchell, 73, of Marble Valley. “From what we have been able to learn the dispute was over a dog,” Wilson said. “We were told that Hayes believed that Mitchell may have run over his dog and that led to an altercation. Other than that, the men may have known of each other, but were not neighbors or well known to each other. It’s still an active investigation and that’s about all we can release at this time.” Wilson said that no arrest has been made pending completion of the investigation. “All findings will be turned over to the 40th Judicial Circuit District Attorney upon completion of the investigation,” Wilson said.

SL Alabama honors Korean Lunar New Year By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
SL Alabama honored its Korean heritage Friday by inviting local officials to its 12th Annual Celebration for the Korean Lunar New Year – Seollal. SL officials welcomed the local dignitaries to their Alexander City plant to take part in some of the traditional customs associated with the Korean holiday and to partake in Korean food. “This is a personal celebration in Korean culture,” SL Alabama President S.C. Kim said. “This is a time to pay respect to our ancestors and celebrate with our family
members.” SL Accounting Manager K. Kim explained that Koreans celebrate family with holiday by honoring ancestors and elders with a ceremony call charye – where often times children get pocket money from elders. President Kim demonstrated the charye in front of food meant to be shared with ancestors as did Lake Martin Area Economic Development Authority’s Don McClellan. Afterwards, everyone enjoyed a meal of bulgogi – a beef and vegetable dish, chicken, and tteok a rice cake along with See TRADITION • Page 3
When Alexander City began collecting an extra half-cent sales tax in 2014 to help fund road projects, officials immediately began setting a plan in place to prepare and used a program called MicroPaver to evaluate roads and plan where the city could get the most bang for its paving buck. Earlier this week City Engineer and Public Works Director Gerard Brewer released the list of projects the department hopes to resurface during 2017, based on that data. Some of the notable projects include Dobbs Road, Campground Road and several small projects around the Broad Street Plaza. “We put a lot of work into loading the data into this See ROADS • Page 3

DEAR ABBY: One of my girlfriends is dating my ex-boyfriend. They just had a kid, and he started flirting with me. I’m not in a relationship, so I flirted back. Now I’m getting bullied nonstop because people say I’m gonna break them up. But shouldn’t they be mad at HIM more than me? Why is everyone jumping down my throat? I didn’t do anything with him. It was just words. Either way, HE’S the one in the relationship! He shouldn’t have done it in the first place, and yes, I admit it was wrong on my part, too. But not AS wrong, right? I need help, because I go to a small school, and everyone here wants to jump me now. It’s hard to concentrate on work with mean comments getting shouted out at me. I’ve said my “sorry’s” to everyone. Even though it’s none of their business. -- HE’S WRONG, RIGHT? DEAR HE’S: It should be apparent that your ex-boyfriend still feels the need to prove to

software so that we can get a statistic-based assessment of our roads,” Brewer said. “It’s based on need, amount of traffic and several other factors that determine how we can best spend our money to get the most done and accommodate the most traffic. “I know sometimes to the average person they might look at their road and say that ‘man, my road is much worse than one of those.’ But that’s just a part of the equation. “This way it’s totally impartial and takes the human side out of it. The projects are picked based on proven data and taxpayers know that we are stretching their money as far as it will go as we do this.” The half-cent sales tax has been named the Alexander City Road Improvement Project or ACRIP and all the money is earmarked for road paving and road improvement projects. The tax generates about $1.15 million each year. It has given the city the ability to get some asphalt work done without having to go in debt. Some residents may have already encountered work on some of these streets in anticipation of the paving or see work in the weeks to come. “There is nothing that gets the people more wound up that seeing a freshly paved road torn up to have work done right after it has been paved,” Brewer said. “So we may be working in these areas in preparation to pave on things like drainage ditches, clipping shoulders and things like that. “Most of the utilities have completed a good bit of maintenance type work in these areas in preparation for this paving, so we hope to be in good shape. There are always a lot of moving parts when it comes to paving projects, so we want to be ready to go as soon as the bids are awarded and the weather cooperates.” While the list shown here is what the city has planned, that isn’t all the paving that’s planned in the area. Brewer also said that several state-funded road projects are now being put on the calendar. Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program (ATRIP) provides funds with a small local match. This program is administered by the Alabama Department of Transportation. Lee Street and Washington Street are among those projects which are expected to be completed this calendar year. Councilman Eric Brown who chairs the Public Works Committee said seeing the list of projects is good news for area residents. “Gerard sent the list out (Monday) and I know that people will be glad to see the amount of work that is planned,” Brown said. “I know that when I was campaigning, that’s the one thing that no matter who you talk to, they want to tell you about road needs. Road is the No. 1 priority with most of the folks in Alexander City and it’s a very ambitious list that they plan to tackle this year.” Brewer said that while a street may not be on the list, a number of streets will be part of a largescale, asphalt patching initiative toward the end of this fiscal year under the recently-approved patching bid that was approved earlier this month by the city council.

participated in with his local food manufacturing business and has been involved with the trash walk since its beginning. Thornton is also on the board of the LMRA. “It’s a good meeting place and it’s a good spring board place,” said Thornton. “It’s a place where we collect the trash and walk the highway.” Last year Thornton said more than 40 people attended. But Thornton said the goal was to get similar movements started all throughout the Lake Martin Area, and they were trying to tie the efforts of PATH and LMRA in with those happening elsewhere in the area along roads, in neighborhoods and on the lake itself. “It’s not just about this one walk on this one day,” Thornton said. “Adopt your own little local neighborhood or highway.” But the Saturday of Feb. 11, he said they would meet outside of Dirt Road Gourmet at 7071 Red Hill Road, and make their way toward the dam. “We’re going to pick the road clean from the dam all the way to Highway 63,” Thornton said. He said the LMRA along with Alabama Power would provide bags for the trash as wall as pickers, along with cautionary road signs for safety.
After eating, Thornton said they would break up in to small groups and begin at 9 a.m. and end at 11 a.m. Thornton said Children’s Harbor granted them use of their dumpsters for the event, in their off season. “We really hope that the people that are throwing their cups and pizza boxes and other stuff out their car window will see that effort and think twice and think a little bit and not trash the place,” Thornton said. LMRA President John Thompson said the stretch of highway was one of the region’s more traveled areas and was an important impression to the lake, the dam and its homes. “It’s such a heavily traveled areas and it’s such a important corridor not only to around the lake… it’s the road to martin dam,” said Thompson. “And it gets a lot of trash.” But he said the community had responded with a number of volunteers that remove large quantities of debris from the roadside annually. “It’s one of the things we really would like to foster in the entire Lake Martin community,” Thompson said.

Opinion Weighing in on the week’s highs and lows
I
t was a week filled with news and today we weigh in on some of those headlines. We like to call this, The Outlook Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down. THUMBS UP: Twelve years ago E. Paul Jones was sworn in as the district attorney of the Fifth Judicial Circuit. After those many years of service, he opted not to seek another term and at the age of 73, he was given a proper sendoff Friday by former staff, colleagues and friends at the Tallapoosa County Courthouse Annex in Alexander City. His longtime assistant Jeremy Duerr, who was sworn in a little over a week ago to fill Jones’ spot, presented Jones with a plaque honoring him fort his public service. Judge Kim Taylor, who has known Jones for more than 40 years, thanked Jones for his service and the memories. “It was absolutely a delight to work with each and every one of you all and I am truly going to miss you all,” Jones said. More than 50 people came to the retirement part to wish Jones well. Congratulation E. Paul Jones. Thank you for your service and happy trails. THUMBS DOWN: A thumbs down is not strong enough to express our feelings to the people responsible for the recent spate of graffiti on street signs in Alexander City. This criminal activity serves no purpose and needs to stop. If you see someone doing it, take note and help the police catch the people responsible. THUMBS UP: We learned Friday that 146 people applied for the Alexander City city clerk’s position and 41 applied for the position of fire chief. That’s an incredible response. It was unclear how many actually met the qualifications, but to see that much interest is encouraging. While there is no shortage of local talent, including the person serving as interim in the fire department, it’s nice to know that so many people see Alexander City as a place they would like to work. Monday night two interviews will be held with finalists for the Alexander City Finance Director post. The interviews will begin at 5 p.m. in the courtroom at the Alexander City Public Safety Building.

The ongoing saga of Lurleen Wallace’s portrait
M
onday, January 16, was the 50th anniversary of the inauguration of Lurleen Wallace as Alabama’s only female governor. January 16, 1967 was and remains a historic milestone for our state. I was there, marching with the Sylacauga High School “Half-MillionDollar Band,” freezing cold. At her 50th anniversary, the official portrait of Gov. Lurleen Wallace remains – illegally – out of the capitol rotunda where it historically and legally was until January 2015. The mistreatment of the Lurleen Wallace portrait by the Bentley administration is a shameful example of political correctness and historical revision. It was two years ago, January 15, 2015, five days before I would take office as State Auditor. With no notice, officials of the Bentley administration hurriedly removed the two Wallace portraits from the capitol rotunda. In their place, they erected the portrait of incumbent Governor Robert Bentley. It was a premature erection. Traditionally, the portraits of governors are erected in the capitol rotunda after the governor leaves office. But at the insistence of senior policy adviser Rebekah Mason, Gov. Bentley jumped the gun. He had his own official portrait painted and erected just before his second term started. The saga of the removal of the Wallace portraits and my four attempts to get them returned reads like a soap opera. Sadly, it is all true – a documentary of the dysfunctional Bentley administration. On my first working day as State Auditor, I was notified by my staff that the
JIM ZEIGLER Guest Columnist
Bentley administration had removed the Wallace portraits. I quickly walked the halls of the capitol and, sure enough, the new Bentley portrait was in the rotunda. The Wallace portraits had been put on a wheelbarrow, ridden down the elevator one floor, taken left down the hallway just far enough to be off the guided tours, and relegated to a wall by the Secretary of State’s office. Neither of the Wallace governors have any historical connection to the Secretary of State’s office. I immediately began researching the law about the placement of the Wallace portraits. I found a joint resolution of the 1983 legislature, which mandated that the Wallace portraits be displayed in the rotunda in perpetuity. Clear as crystal. The action of the Bentley administration in removing the Wallace portraits from the rotunda was illegal, in violation of the letter of the law and the clear legislative intent. I drew up a request to the Director of Historic Sites, who had actually removed the Wallace portraits. I included a copy of the joint resolution of the legislature mandating that the portraits remain forever in the rotunda. He did not care and would not return the Wallace portraits. I sent him a second request, this time giving him new information that would have made a difference to any sensible person. I told him that the oldest of the four Wallace children, whose mother and father
had both been governor, was hospitalized in terminal condition. Bobbie Jo Wallace Parsons was not expected to live. This was a terrible time to remove her parents’ official portraits from their legal and historical place of honor. He again would not restore the Wallace portraits. Heartless. He was then fired as Director of Historic Sites. Bobbie Jo Wallace Parsons died. I drew up a third request, this time to the Director of the Alabama Historical Commission, Frank White, asking that he return the portraits to their legal and historical place. He met with me, listened, and was as courteous and professional as could be. But he did not return the Wallace portraits to the rotunda. Frank White was then fired as Director of the Alabama Historical Commission. I then sent a fourth request to return the Wallace portraits to the Historical Commission itself. I met with their leadership, and they declined to return the portraits. They said it would cost money. I found that to be an odd attempt to justify an illegal action. I offered to raise the money with a GoFundMe account. I figured it would take me about two days. They thought that was a joke. One of my regrets in my two years as state auditor is that the Bentley administration has declined my four requests – and requests by many of you – to restore the Wallace portraits to their lawful place. It will likely take a new governor elected in 2018 to right this wrong and stop this historical revision. Jim Zeigler is the Alabama State Auditor.

Reader weighs in on how to value an alley
Dear Editor, I was saddened to see the article on 1/20 that the alley proposal had been withdrawn. So, in my sadness I did what any finance professional would do, attempt to value the space to determine what right course of action from an economic perspective. Valuing objects like a public road is a little tricky, but probably the best way is by estimating the value of future positive/negative cash flows and then discount them to the present-day dollars. By comparing what the alley could generate in cash flow to the expected expenses and maintaining the road, it is possible to conclude what the city should do to the property. When estimating the value as a private space, a good starting point is the success of Rally in the Alley, which based on previous Alexander City Outlook articles, brings in over $3,000 a year. Adjusting that value for inflation while estimating additional revenue brought in by utilizing the space for eating, shopping, and entertainment we come to a present-
day value of: $955,149. This is just half the value though because there is a cost associated with maintaining the area as an alley, as well as potential lost revenues to surrounding businesses. One of the best arguments for keeping the alley in its existing state is the limitations it would place on companies located on Alabama Street. Taking this into account as well as the costs of maintaining the alley for pedestrians brings the estimated expenses to – $580,769. Using this model the alley would result in a positive present day value of $374,379. Leaving the alley as a roadway would prevent any potential loss of revenue to the businesses listed above, but it would also eliminate the possibility to generate revenue by companies wanting to utilize the space. It would also require more expensive maintenance and engineering, while still requiring the city prepare for a potential lawsuit in the event someone is injured due to the road not having proper sight distances. Estimated costs for
leaving the alley in its existing form are about –$354,695 with the potential to be in the millions if a lawsuit is brought against the city. So, based on the numbers it would make economic sense to close the road, but citizens should be aware that any success may come at the expense of others. Since some businesses could be adversely affected a third option should be considered. The city could gift the land to the Chamber of Commerce. This would allow the Chamber to schedule usage of the area, and be responsible for cleaning the area periodically. The Chamber could also provide assistance to the surrounding businesses by granting them favorable rates to rent the alley or free advertising at Chamber events. This option would allow the city to come together and truly celebrate the new area with a clear conscious, a win-win. Watson Bernard Alexander City

invitation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Just when you think life is getting easier, a partner or close loved one is likely to let you know otherwise. You might wonder what happened to this caring person who suddenly has become feisty and unpredictable. Know that this is just a phase. Tonight: Go with the Åow. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Stop and smell the roses. Racing around like you have been prevents you from truly enjoying yourself. It won’t hurt you to slow down some and have a chat with a close friend or loved one. Doing so will mean a lot to this person. Tonight: Schedule some private time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your get-up-and-go could be so high that you even might tire out a child. A bit of unpredictability runs through a special relationship in your life. Perhaps you initially didn’t like this quality, but on some level, you now Änd it exciting. Tonight: Visit with friends over dinner. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Take a stand, and know full well what your expectations are. Try to understand why someone might be reactive to this position, and fully expect this person to speak his or her mind. Listen carefully to this person’s words before responding. Tonight: Invite friends over. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are capable of nearly anything when you are as energized as you are today. Take some time to consider where you would like to funnel this energy. Expect a fun or surprising call from a loved one. Don’t lose your sense of humor. Tonight: The action surrounds you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your instincts could be pushing you in a direction that might not be best in the long run. Put a halt to what you are doing, and remain centered. Don’t allow someone else to shove you in a direction that you are not comfortable going. Tonight: Treat a family member to dinner.

Wildcats fall at Clay Central CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor
There’s lots of activity on the area sports scene
M
y goodness, we’ve certainly had a lot of activity this week. The area has been rife with sporting events. Some of those events resulted in reasons to cheer. That’s certainly the case for the Central Coosa varsity girls basketball team. The Lady Cougars secured the right to host the 3A area playoff tournament next month Tuesday after defeating Randolph County 76-38. Way to go, girls! But that’s not the only major achievement for a varsity girls basketball team this past week. On Wednesday, the Reeltown Lady Rebels broke an 11-game losing streak with their first win of the season over Horseshoe Bend by a score of 58-42. That’s certainly something to be proud of. Plus, if the young team can build on that game’s success, they’ll be sure to have a great season next year. Maybe both Reeltown’s varsity boys and girls will have a little extra inspiration during next season’s home games. After all, a sign honoring the life of former coach Ronald Hammonds will be watching over them. The sign was presented to Hammond’s family by the Reeltown Athletic Department recently and is truly a welcomed fixture in the Reeltown gym. This week’s activities have been a mix in general for area high school basketball programs. Benjamin Russell varsity girls continued a strong season with a win over Jeff Davis. However, the varsity boys came away from the same night with a loss. The Horseshoe Bend varsity girls have had a tough week with a packed schedule ending in losses. While losses are never fun, they can also be important. Losing teaches us humility and helps build character. A perfect example of such a life lesson is an episode of “The Andy Griffith Show” in which Opie displayed all the characteristics of a sore loser after failing to win a relay race. With a firm talking to from Andy, the youngster soon saw the error of his ways and learned the importance of losing graciously. But what if you go into competition knowing your team will lose? That was the case for the Dadeville varsity wrestling team this week as they lost to Beulah at home 36-33. The loss stems from the fact that the Tigers forfeited five individual matches, giving the win to the Bobcats. Those forfeits were made because since the season started, the Dadeville grapplers lost about half their team. Head coach George Richardson said those who quit decided wrestling wasn’t for them or had other priorities. But I’d like to tip my hat to those still on the team. They should be commended for their fortitude. But there’s no arguing with the talent of those left on the Tigers team. It’s hard to argue that fact when the Dadeville grapplers get the best of exhibition matches once the official matches are done. As with the Reeltown varsity girls basketball team, maybe next year will belong to the Dadeville wrestlers. This week’s activities haven’t been limited to high school sports. Alexander City Youth baseball and softball registration got under way this week. Today is the final day to sign up and tryouts are coming up soon. Yep. Despite the sudden cold snap, spring is just around the corner. That means spring sports. In addition to Alex City Youth baseball and softball, the city’s youth soccer league is gearing up with registration starting Friday. And don’t forget, Ben Russell, Dadeville, Horseshoe Bend, Reeltown and Central Coosa have already begun practicing for their spring sports seasons, which start in a few short weeks. Hmm… sounds like things will be pretty active for the foreseeable future. Cathy Higgins is sports editor of The Alexander City Outlook.

Benjamin Russell varsity boys lose to Vols 68-47 By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor
It was a disappointing road trip for the Benjamin Russell varsity boys Friday as the Wildcats lost to 5A Clay Central in Lineville by a score of 68-47. Ben Russell struggled from the start as the Wildcats trailed 21-12 in the first quarter. That struggle continued for the Wildcats as halftime neared. In the second quarter Ben Russell only added eight more points while the Volunteers laid down 18 for a halftime score of 39-20 in favor of Clay Central. As the second half opened, both teams placed 16 more points in the third quarter. But with the Vols’ early lead, the quarter ended with Benjamin Russell trailing 55-36. The pace of the final quarter slowed a bit as the Wildcats added 11 last points in the fourth while Clay Central had 13 for Wildcats 68-47 loss. Benjamin Russell varsity boys basketball head coach Jeff Hines was disappointed with the loss. “We weren’t ready to play,” he said. “We got outplayed, we got out-hustled and I got out-coached.” Despite the loss, Benjamin Russell senior point guard Quentavious Reese led the Wildcats in scoring with 11 points. He had help from senior shooting guard Timmy Lawson and senior shooting guard Shannon Woody, who each had eight points. The loss drops the Benjamin Russell varsity
