Harold Banks Canoe Trail dedicated By Betsy Iler
TPI Magazine Editor
It was a successful conspiracy. Somehow, Tallapoosa County Extension Coordinator Shane Harris managed to print maps and brochures, as well as large site-designation signs, and invited a host of dignitaries to a ceremony honoring Dadeville’s Harold Banks without the honoree knowing until the words spilled from Harris’ lips at Friday morning’s Harold Banks Canoe Trail dedication. Two years in the making, the 25-mile trail Friday was officially named and opened at a ribbon cutting under the Alabama Highway 49 bridge north of Irwin Shoals on the Tallapoosa River.
Banks, an enthusiastic proponent of the river’s beauty and serenity, was the first person to solo-paddle its entire 258-mile length. He also has been highly involved in the effort to add the 25-mile stretch of waterway to the extensive Alabama Scenic River Trail, which comprises more than 600 miles of water for paddling tourism. “This is shocking to me,” said Banks, who was completely surprised at the trail’s designation. “We kept this secret for a long time,” Harris told a crowd of more than 30 dignitaries that included representatives from the numerous organizations, priBetsy Iler / The Outlook vate industry and governmental agencies Dignitaries gathered at Horseshoe Bend boat ramp Friday to cut the ribbon on the new See BANKS, Page A3 Harold Banks Canoe Trail.

Wilson hopes to make Excelsior Ink a community fixture By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer
Make no mistake about it. Falan Wilson, the owner of the new Excelsior Ink at 116 Madison St., is an artist. “Comic book art was my original passion,” said Wilson, who opened his shop after working four years with Lake Martin Tattooing. “I just sort of changed that up and got into tattooing. A lot of the concepts in comic book art and tattooing are the same. Both use the heavy black outlines and the bold color contrasts.” The comic book influence is still evident in the décor of Wilson’s studio and in much of his tattoo work. He was
also heavily influenced by tattoo artist Sarah Miller of Pittsburgh, who he met in 2013 through the tattoo-based reality show Ink Master. Even with those influences, Wilson prides himself in his originality and uses his gift to that end. And he’s doing something right. His work brings clients regularly from as far away as Birmingham. One client comes to him from Ohio. “I just try to make every piece personal and I think that’s what sets me apart,” Wilson said. “I want whatever I do to feel like a work of art to David Granger / The Outlook a client.” Falan Wilson works freehand on a sketch of Freddy Krueger, the first step in See INK, Page A3 his creation of a tattoo for client Melissa Wilson.

DEAR ABBY: I am the 24/7 caregiver for my husband, “Earl.” We were both widowed when we married nine years ago. His daughter, “Mindy,” hasn’t talked to her father for six years -- hasn’t called, emailed or even sent a birthday card. If he tried calling her, she wouldn’t pick up. Recently, Earl had a serious health problem resulting in a colostomy bag. I take care of everything. When he called to tell Mindy, her husband answered the phone and said she wasn’t home. When my husband told him about his health, the son-inlaw said OK -- nothing more. Then Earl invited the whole family to come here. Again, the response was, “I don’t know.” After Earl hung up, I said, “I think it’s time Mindy came here to take care of you.” (Six years ago she told my husband, “Dad, if you die first, I’ll get that woman out of the
DEAR ABBY Advice
house in three days!”) Abby, must I wait for this to happen or should I just pack my stuff and move out, leaving a vulnerable 88-year-old man alone? Mindy will put him in a nursing home and sell the house to pay off her credit card debt -- some of it, because the house isn’t worth much money. Earl says, “Don’t leave me, I need you!” Well, what about me? Where is my life and my security? I’m getting older. If he lives another 10 years, it will take a toll on my health, and I’LL be moving? Should I seek compensation for my caregiving? I pay all my own expenses. I don’t
pay rent. That was the main concern from his relatives when we got married. I was a widow and had a job and a condo, which I sold. I put the money in the bank and used cash to pay for a new car, a computer, a wheelchair for my husband, etc. Don’t I have to plan for my future in my old age? Or should I leave it up to God and hope He takes me before my husband? I need your advice. -- WORRIED WIFE IN FLORIDA DEAR WORRIED WIFE: You’re right to be concerned about your future. That’s why, before making any decisions, it is important you consult a lawyer and learn what your rights are as a wife in the state of Florida. You should not have to worry about being thrown out into the street because Earl’s daughter has money problems and is looking to cash in. If you love your husband, your place is
beside him for as long as the good lord allows. DEAR ABBY: I am 16. I came home from a date and my mom is flipping out over my hickies. I think this is stupid. These are my first ones, and my parents are making a big deal about it. What do you think? -- MARKED IN NEWARK, DEL. DEAR MARKED: I think it’s time you had a talk with your parents about why they reacted the way they did, so they can explain it to you. Your hickies aren’t what upset them. They are worried about you because they are afraid of what the hickies may lead to -- if they haven’t already.

Banks that participated in the trail’s creation. “We even had a fake brochure that I showed Harold while we were printing up the real one without him knowing about it.” “I just hope the designation of this trail will help to protect it and keep it clean and beautiful,” Banks said. A waterproof map of the trail includes points of interest, public access points and designated camping spots along the route, which is divided into three half-day paddle sections. The brochure also includes photos of some of the rare Alabama flora and fauna that can be seen along the river route, including bald eagles, Cahaba lilies and mountain laurel. Harris presented Banks with the first copy of the real map and a display paddle that was burned with an image of the trail’s namesake paddling the Tallapoosa River. The canoe trail will be promoted as a premier recreational paddle to increase the economic benefits of the tourism it is expected to attract, Harris said. Information about the Harold Banks Canoe Trail soon will be available on the Tallapoosa County Extension Service website at www.offices.aces.edu/tallapoosa/.

Ink Wilson tells the story of a memorial tattoo she did for a client of her late mother. When her father – who Wilson termed “ultraconservative” and certainly no fan of tattoo art – saw his daughter’s tattoo, he was moved to tears. “That’s when I knew that this was what I wanted to do the rest of my life – when I saw my art move a grown man to tears,” Wilson said.

the Alex City Chamber of Commerce. The shop was formally a doctor’s office and includes several rooms down a comic-book art decorated hallway that were once examination rooms. Wilson said he hopes to add artists, but says anyone he adds must meet his demanding standards for both talent and hygiene. As you would expect from a tattoo artist who has after-care instructions printed on the back of his business card, Wilson doesn’t care for what he calls “scratchers.”
“Scratchers are basically those guys that do tattoos out of their house,” Wilson said. “Tattoo artists are supposed to operate under a facility license. That’s why, when I lef tLake Martin Tattooing I went to do a guest spot, in Clanton.” A guest spot is a short stint by a tattoo artist at a shop that isn’t his own. Several of Wilson’s clients traveled to Clanton to have him do their work. And, so far, he’s been busy every day since he opened his new shop. “Honestly, I’ve been
continued from page 1
surprised,” Wilson said. “I was thinking that a lot of people might not know that I’d opened my own business and a lot of people might not really care, but, after some followed me to Clanton, I felt better about it. “So far the amount of support I’ve gotten here has just been staggering.”

Banks Trail is fitting tribute to canoe legend
W
hen it comes to paddling sports in Tallapoosa County, Harold Banks is
the man. Banks, the namesake of the new Harold Banks Canoe Trail on the Tallapoosa River, is the first known person to paddle the entire length of the Tallapoosa River. He did that several years back, beginning in Georgia and winding up where the Tallapoosa and Coosa rivers meet in Elmore County. But that wasn’t enough. Banks later returned to the junction of the Tallapoosa and Coosa rivers and paddled down river until he hit salt water in Mobile Bay. He did all this paddling solo, keeping a beautifully written journal which was printed as a series in this newspaper at the time. Reading Banks’ journal was like reading an historic adventure novel … except it was real. It was truly an epic modernday outdoor adventure. The new Harold Banks Canoe Trail on the Tallapoosa River brings the potential to transform watersports recreation here. Lake Martin will always be the primary spot for watersports recreation in our county, but the river is every bit as exciting and interesting for paddlers. And running the river is great exercise too, as well as a great place for fishing, camping and enjoying the beautiful Alabama outdoors. We hope that eventually the new canoe trail will spawn new businesses – canoe and kayak sales and rentals, shuttle services, paddling classes and guided tours – much like those found on the Coosa River in Wetumpka. For now, we’d like to congratulate Banks and thank all those involved with the newest reason to visit Tallapoosa County: the Harold Banks Canoe Trail.

Hot days mean lots to do in Alexander City There are times this summer when our downtown seems hot, humid, empty. But not for long. Alexander City has a lot – and I mean a whole lot – going on these days. And by these days, I mean the dog days of summer. Mid-summer in Alabama is like mid-winter in Minnesota: the rest of the year is better. But here in Alexander City, we’ve got a 25-year June Jazz Fest tradition, lots of Fourth of July celebrations, 59 Sun Festival events packed into a long week in July, Lake Martin at its prime, the weekly Saturday morning Farmer’s Market – there’s just lots going on here in the heat of the summer. The absolute best time to be outdoors in Alabama is the fall, when we’ve got those pesky college football games that make every downtown but Auburn and Tuscaloosa seem hot, humid and empty on Saturday. So we’ve got to schedule events on days when every smart dog is panting under a shady porch. Last Saturday I rode across the rough, wavy surface of Lake Martin – and I mean most of the length of the lake – to participate in the annual Lion’s Club Poker Run. That took most of the day Saturday, and man, was it hot out there. I was Gilligan (by the way, whoever in Hollywood decided Gilligan should wear a red, long sleeve rugby shirt to a tropical island obviously never tried it themselves); my wife Mary Lyman was a cute and fun-loving Mary Ann with pigtails and a shirt tied above her waist; Roger Holliday
KENNETH BOONE Publisher
was the Skipper and he kept hitting me with his captain’s hat and calling me “Little Buddy,” Cindy Holliday was the lovely Ginger, complete with long earrings and a silver, one-shoulder gown; my son James was Thurston Howell III, wearing a snazzy straw hat, Seersucker pants and a bandana ascot; and Jenny Lamberth was the best looking Lovey Howell ever, wearing a yellow party dress, choker pearls, a red hat and long white gloves. We won the best costume contest without a professor, but Holliday came up with a story involving lightning and a radio made of bamboo that explained his absence. It was a great, sweaty, tiring day. And then I stripped off my Gilligan’s hat, pulled on Nike running shorts and ran 5 kilometers in the Sun Festival Glow Run that night. This year’s run was the best yet. A storm blew through between the two events and cooled off the downtown asphalt that was hot enough to melt the soles on my Gel Nimbuses only hours before. I thought the course this year was excellent, fewer turns with long, steady hills instead of short, choppy ones. It started at Strand Park and stretched to the top of the hill at Central Alabama Community College and looped back. The Chamber’s amazing army of volunteers put
luminaries on the entire 3+ mile course, and running up the dark hill at CACC the candles really stood out and helped me stay on course. Running under the waterfall created by the Fire Department’s ladder truck was a great way to cool down and call it a day. There are those who would have chosen one or the other event or, given the heat, neither. I decided I could do both – wanted to do both – and I’ve got to say I thoroughly enjoyed both even though I heard the sofa calling me around 7 p.m. I had the same experience several times this week during Sun Festival. I had good, reasonable reasons to stay inside, but every time I made the effort to go out – to the dog show Monday, the ACT II premier of A Very Rich Woman on Tuesday (It was excellent, if you haven’t seen it yet, don’t miss Sunday’s matinee), the Rush of Fools concert Thursday – I’ve had a good time, got to visit with friends, felt all the better for being involved and supporting all that is going on in my community. Every time I opened the door and got hit with hot, humid air or sprinkled with rain and thought about heading back inside, I’ve soldiered on and found that getting out there, getting involved and participating is a reward all its own. To those who say there’s nothing to do in a small town, I say reach for the doorknob and turn it. Even on in the dog days of summer. Boone is publisher of The Outlook.

Reader embarrassed by ‘10 Worst Places To Live’ list Dear Editor, I just stumbled across an intriguing and revealing report posted on the Internet by MSN for the whole world to see. In the brief time this article has been posted, 171,119 viewers have taken a look. The title: “The 10 Worst Places to Live in Alabama!” The title alone is sure to peak your curiosity-not by accident I am quite sure. Of course, I took the bait and the info was both surprising and disappointing, yet fairly accurate. Of the top ten worst places in Alabama to raise your family, three cities are in our immediate area: Anniston, Gadsden and Talladega. The cities listed also include photos and in the case of Talladega, the worst possible angle looking down North Street toward the depressed Square area. One immediately ques-
tions what criteria was used to make these judgments. The author listed unemployment, educational quality (teacher/ pupil ratio and expenditures per pupil), high crime, housing vacancy rate, urban depression, caliber of leadership in City Administration, pollution and the weather, as measurement criteria for this report. No doubt Anniston’s ranking was influenced by the loss of Ft. McClellan more than a decade ago, while the closure of Republic Steel in Gadsden is still affecting urban growth and development. Can we not strive to make the very best of what we have to work with? In our town of Talladega, virtually no effort is being made to discourage the unsightly dilapidated bombed out building around the Square, the image one cannot miss driving through the downtown area.
Just this week, I was the host for some visiting dignitaries from Colorado. We were to meet at Cafe’ Royale for lunch and we were ashamed for our guests to see the horrible sight of vacant structures along Battle Street. We took a route to avoid the area altogether. It doesn’t require very much effort, leadership or funds to just clean up the Square! Do we really want the whole world to picture our city the way we are portrayed here? The entire “10 Worst Places To Live In Alabama” list in the order of the worst first: 1. Gadsden, 2. Prichard, 3. Bessemer, 4. Anniston, 5. Atmore, 6. Selma, 7. Talladega, 8. Ft. Payne, 9. Eufaula and 10. Phenix City. James W. Anderson Talladega

TOP FIVE GAMES TO WATCH IN 2015

By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor
With the start of fall practice less than two weeks away, it’s time to take a look at some of the key local games for the 2015 high school football season. While some games can change the entire course of a season, others can set the tone and start a team on a deep run into the postseason. Here are five games to look out for in 2015. Dadeville at Reeltown (Aug. 27) – After last year’s contest was decided by a lone Reeltown Rebels touchdown, the Dadeville Tigers will look to get back on the right side of this crosscounty rivalry. Though the Tigers lead the all-time series 30-15, Reeltown snapped a sixgame losing skid against Dadeville with last year’s 7-0 victory at Tiger Stadium. The 2015 showdown at Nix-WebsterO’Neal Stadium could also hold a little more significance as it could potentially mark legendary Coach Jackie O’Neal’s last game against the rival Tigers. Benjamin Russell at Opelika (Sept. 4) – The Benjamin Russell Wildcats and Opelika Bulldogs have been squaring off for decades with nothing more than bragging rights on the line, but 2015 will mark the second straight year the pair have clashed as area rivals after the Wildcats’ return to Class 6A. In the 69 meetings between the Wildcats and Bulldogs, BRHS holds a 36-30-3 record over its rival on Highway 280. However, Opelika has won its last two games against Benjamin Russell, including last year’s 23-0 win at the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex. With Opelika and BRHS finishing first and second respectively in Class 6A-Region 3 in 2014, it’s likely that
2015’s matchup will also play a key role in determining who takes the region crown. Dadeville at Leeds (Oct. 10) – Following an up-and-down start to the 2014 season, the Dadeville Tigers surprised many when they defeated then No. 1, and eventual Class 4A state champion, Leeds 20-14 in an October region matchup. This year’s matchup will be another region contest, and with both programs traditionally fielding strong teams, chances are high that the 2015 game will have big region title implications. Horseshoe Bend at Wadley (Aug. 27) – A traditional non-region rivalry, the Horseshoe Bend Generals and Wadley Bulldogs will open the season against each other once again. Historically, the games have been close in recent seasons, with three of the last four games being decided by five points or less. Horseshoe Bend won 2013’s contest at Wadley by a 24-20 score, but the Generals lost 2014’s game by a score of 22-20. This season will mark Horseshoe Bend’s second year running its new wing-T offense, with the Wadley game being the first regular-season contest. Wadley leads the series 12-11, so the Generals will also be looking to tie the rivalry back up. Central-Coosa at Fayetteville (Aug. 28) – The Central-Coosa Cougars’ season opener at Fayetteville is one to watch not because of preexisting history (the programs have only met once with Fayetteville defeating Coosa 28-22 last season) but because it will mark Coosa’s first game under new head coach Barry Simmons. Simmons comes to Coosa after stints as a defensive coordinator at Calera and Childersburg high schools. He will be looking to turn around a Coosa program that has not won more than three games in a season since 2007.
Alexander City Torpedoes well represented at state swim meet in Birmingham By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor
Robert Hudson / Outlook File Photo
Alexander City’s Hailey Tubbs is one of the many Alexander City Torpedoes team members competing in the state meet this Friday and Saturday.
The Alexander City Torpedoes are swimming on the state level this weekend in The Magic City. The Alexander City Torpedoes youth swim team is in Birmingham Friday and Saturday for the state meet in the Alabama Recreation and Parks Association. Eric Smith, coach of the Alexander City Torpedoes, said the team had a good showing at last weekend’s District V meet in Opelika, and sent a few youth athletes to the state meet this weekend at the Birmingham Crossplex. “Right now, we have two relay teams – an 8-and-under medley relay and a 9-10 medley relay – that have both qualified for state,” Smith said. “We also have a 9-10 girl, Carley Forbus, who qualified in the individual medley. She’s currently No. 10 in the state going into Friday. We’ll know her actual result tomorrow (Saturday). Also, Halle Davis, who is a 6 year old, came in sixth place in the state of Alabama in freestyle. She will finish up officially on tomorrow.” The 8-and-under relay team members include Ava Barrett, Halle Davis, Emma Swindell and Jasmine Scott. Alexander City’s 9-and-10 relay team includes Carley Forbus, Hailey Tubbs, Chloe Davis and Chadie Farr. Saturday, the relay team of Carley Forbus, Sarah Brown, Chloe Davis and Chadie Farr will compete in the state meet.

Horoscope
JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS ARIES (March 21-April 19) --You could be in a position where you must follow someone else’s lead. A sudden insight will occur when you attempt to see life from a different perspective. Your willingness to walk in another person’s shoes makes you a sure winner. Tonight: Go along with a friend’s suggestion. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --Defer to others, as nearly everyone thinks he or she has better ideas than you do. Your ruling planet, Venus, starts doing a backward jig and initiates a period where you might feel less than great. Resist making major decisions for the next few months. Tonight: Be graceful. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --You have a lot of ground to cover. A child or loved one seems to be out of sorts. You might try to help this person mellow out, but you could ¿nd it dif¿cult. During the next few weeks, you will be witness to an adjustment in your relationship. Tonight: Get some exercise. CANCER (June 21-July 22) --You might be more playful than many others are right now. A family member could be out of sorts -- get ready for some tantrums. Schedule some time with a loved one, and you both will bene¿t from the time spent together. Share a fun story. Tonight: Be willing to take a risk. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --You might feel imposed upon by a family member. It appears as if you have little choice at the moment, unless you want to create some uproar. Do yourself a favor and detach from the here and now. Be careful with how you choose to express yourself. Tonight: In the limelight. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --You are able to move a situation to a better place than you originally thought possible. A conÀict evolves between a loved one and a dear friend. It’s time step away from the battle¿eld. You realize that disagreements often result from misunder-
standings. Tonight: Be a ¿ery spirit. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) --Sometimes you are not aware of the impact of a situation and its longterm rami¿cations. At this time, it might be wise to let go and indulge yourself. You could be in the process of juggling many responsibilities, but eventually you will land well. Tonight: Share more of yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) --You might make an uncomfortable choice. Question your reasoning, because more often than not your intuition isn’t exactly right-on. Your response is an alert that maybe you need to head in a different direction or resolve a situation differently. Tonight: Out with friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) --You could be in a position where you will have to make the same decision you made just a little while ago. You might be dismayed to be in that situation, but you will handle it well. A loved one, on the other hand, might not handle it as well. Tonight: Try not to be out of control. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --Friends will insist that you join them, to that extent that you might feel as if you have no choice. A matter involving a higher-up could become dominant over the next few weeks. You might need to ¿ll in for this person or do some negotiating. Tonight: Where your friends are. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) --You are on top of a situation that makes you feel less than great. Though you might not be sure of yourself or know the best way to proceed, trust your instincts. Reach out to someone at a distance whom you don’t always get to connect with. Tonight: Try a fun, new spot. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) --One-on-one relating demands a whole new type of interaction. You might not be sure of yourself, but experience certainly will help. Allow someone else to give you muchneeded feedback. You’ll understand

It’s a heroes welcome as Dadeville’s 2015 Summer Reading Program wraps up By Cliff Williams Outlook Staff Writer
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Superman! That famous comic strip and movie line could be heard in Dadeville this week as the Dadeville Public Library closed out its summer reading program called “Every Hero has a Story” with a Super Hero Costume Party. “We have had a pretty good turn out this summer,” Dadeville Public Library Director Abbi Mangarelli said. “We have had five programs with good attendance.” Tuesday’s costume party had four special guests who took time off from work to visit the children in attendance. Superman’s friend Branden Fuller was there as was Batman’s friend Ryan Wesson, Spiderman’s friend Justin Crenshaw and Thor’s friend Cody Parker. “They all took half-days off from work to do this,” Fuller’s mom Teri Fuller said. Spiderman even had a small version of himself at the program. Aidan Fuller, 4, who came dressed as Spiderman started to climb up on the table to get close to the heroes as they signed autographs. “Superman is Aidan’s brother and the other heroes are his friends,” Teri Fuller said. “It is the reason Aidan is so comfortable around them, he knows them.” The party included snacks and the construction of super hero masks too. The summer reading program may be over for the children but there is still time for the adults. “The adults still have a couple weeks left,” Mangarelli said. “They can still come by and sign our hero wall.”
