Murder case to go to grand jury Evidence presented at hearing included statement that Parker may have shot at car on a bet, resulting in death of Quen Reese By MITCH SNEED Editor

Judge Kim Taylor ruled Tuesday that there was sufficient evidence to present the murder case against 18-year-old

Anthony Davon Parker to the Tallapoosa County Grand Jury. Taylor’s ruling came at the conclusion of a preliminary hearing Tuesday in the main courtroom at the Tallapoosa County Courthouse Annex in Alexander

City. District Attorney Jeremy Duerr called just one witness, Alexander City Police Department Det. Riley Foshee who laid out the case against Parker in the March 28 shooting that led to the death of 18-year-old Quentavious Arrion

‘Smile For A Brighter Future’ set for Saturday

New hires introduced at Alex City Board of Ed meeting

By MITCH SNEED Editor

If there is anyone who knows the power of a smile it’s Charmika Reynolds. Reynolds, the founder and director of Heavenly Missions Outreach, is hoping to help people keep their pearly whites in smile-perfect shape. Heavenly Missions first-ever “Smile For A Brighter Future” event will be held Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Quality Inn in Alexander City. The hotel is located at 2945 Highway 280. One of the things that we have realized the importance of in all that we have done is the importance of appearance when you are trying to get a leg up,” Reynolds said. See SMILE • Page 2

SPEEDING TO ACCIDENTS

Fish Pond Road residents seek relief from high-speed traffic By MITCH SNEED Editor

Martin Speight has lived on Fish Pond Road, also know as Alabama Highway 259, in Alexander City almost four decades. He’s seen traffic increase exponentially on the curvy two-lane road in front of his house. The road’s layout and the excessive speed at which many motorists navigate the highway has proven to be a dangerous combination.

“The speed limit is 55, even coming out of the curve,” Speight said. “It’s hard enough to make it at that speed in good conditions. When they run up to 70 like most of them do and if you throw in rain or gravel on the road and you have a mess.” Speight walked along fresh tire tracks through his yard where the latest serous accident occurred. He said it was one of five over the last three years. See SPEED • Page 3

With two in-system transfers and four new hires approved during a special call meeting of the Alexander City Board of Education Tuesday morning, the faculty and staff for the 2017-2018 school year is rapidly falling into place. The board approved the transfer of special needs teacher Jeremy Phillips from Benjamin Russell High School to Alexander City Middle School and Benjamin Russell Social Sciences Teacher Shannon Benefield to become the new assistant principal at Alexander City Middle School. The board also approved hiring Dr. Mary Holloway to fill the position of assistant principal at Radney Elementary School, Whitney White as a science teacher at Benjamin Russell, Justin McCollum to teach history at Benjamin Russell and Jason Coleman as a math teacher at Benjamin Russell.

Tallapoosa County 4-H receives ‘Centennial’ designation 490.63

Lake Levels

By MITCH SNEED Editor

In less than four years, the Tallapoosa County 4-H Program has grown from just 500 members to 1,500 strong. The growth isn’t by accident. Led by Shane Harris, Deborah Stewart, Trent Carboni and Sallie Mason, the program embraced Alabama’s 4-H Centennial Initiative. That meant they went all out to develop programs and activities that were more relevant to the youth that call Tallapoosa County home today. At Monday’s meeting

of the Tallapoosa County Commissioners, the program was honored by Alabama 4-H and its Director Dr. Paul Brown and was given the Alabama 4-H Centennial Initiative designation, an acknowledgement of the hard work and progress in taking the club to places where it will be relevant for the next 100 years. “This is really a day of celebration for the Tallapoosa County 4-H program,” Harris said. “We have worked very hard for the last two or Mitch Sneed / The Outlook three years.

DEAR ABBY: My wife recently started a new yoga class she really likes. But I made the mistake of telling her that the instructor and I had dated briefly (had sex) when we were around 15. I am 50 now and my wife is 45. I was a promiscuous drunk when I was in high school and college. I have been sober now for 28 years, and we have been together for 22 years. I have not been with another woman since I met my wife. Abby, she treats this situation as if I cheated on her yesterday, and this was 35 years ago! Also, after she recognized my wife’s last name, the yoga instructor told my wife that I broke her heart back then. Help! -- HEARTBREAKER DEAR HEARTBREAKER: You have gotten your life in order, and the yoga instructor appears to be doing well. That she’s 50 and in good enough shape to be teaching yoga says a lot for her flexibility. Clearly, neither you nor your old high

DEAR ABBY

pretty sure she doesn’t actually follow this religion, but rather regards it as an entertaining idea. As a Christian, I’m uncomfortable with the theme.

CORLEY HOLT Senior Moments

As parents get older, attempts to hold on to their independence can be at odds with even the most well-intentioned “suggestions from their children.” They want to be cared about, but fear being cared for. Hence the push and pull when a well-meaning offspring steps onto their turf. Some even feel like they are constantly being assessed. Two examples of what we’re talking about giving by aging parents. “Whenever Suzy drops by, I’m not sure whether she’s come to visit or to check up on me: Does my home meet the clean test? Is the yogurt in my refrigerator long past its ‘use by’ date?” This probably would have

been funny 10 years ago, but now it’s more of feeling sensitive to being criticized. “My son and daughter-in-law have made me very selfconscious about my memory. Whenever they catch me in a lapse like not knowing the day’s date – I mean, I know it’s a Thursday, but is it the 21st or 22nd of the month? Or like whenever I have trouble finding the right word, ‘they exchange these long, meaningful looks.’ The only thing their scrutiny accomplished was putting me on edge and I do enjoy their company, but I also find myself looking for excuses to see them less often.” We’ll take a break from the subject matter above for next week’s article. We’re pretty sure you are already wondering how your parents’ must be thinking or feeling.

Speed

continued from page 1

“I have been trying to get folks at the city to lower the speed limit for the last three administrations,” Speight said. “They tell me to talk to the state because it’s a state highway. The state tells me to talk to the city. They have been bouncing me around like a ping pong ball. I just want them to quit kicking that can before someone gets killed out here.” To prove what Speight and neighbors like Johnny Cunningham are saying traffic was clocked on the road for a 15-minute period Monday. Of the 21 vehicles that passed during that period, only two were at or below the speed limit. A total of 13 of those vehicles were traveling in excess of 70 mph. While the detection device is not law enforcement approved or calibrated, the speeds at which vehicles approached was frightening as you stood 15 feet from the shoulder of the road. “They all fly down through here,” Cunningham said. “Imagine trying to get your mail or pull out of your driveway. You are taking your life in your hands even at 55. But you see it, there aren’t many who keep it to 55 at all.” Alabama Sen. Tom Whatley said he has taken

the road recently on the suggestion of his GPS system. He said he can see where speed would be an issue. “I don’t know what all it would take to change the speed limit, but I know a lot of it has to do with the road itself and how it is rated,” Whatley said. “I would think that the Department of Public Safety and the Department of Transportation as well as the city would have to be involved. “I would be willing to take a look at it and see if I can get some feedback as to the procedure and the options. I think that would be a good start.” While the process is being explored Alexander City Police Chief Jay Turner said his department would look at the speed “and take steps to address it.” “I know there have been some issues there and I will meet with patrol and look at some things to slow folks down” Turner said. “Getting traffic down to the current limit would be a good start.” Turner said the department also hopes to purchase an electronic sign unit when funds are budgeted. He said that would flash speeds on approaching vehicles. He said that has proven to help slow traffic as well.

Alabama responds I to elder abuse

lder people in our communities have rights including a right to be safe and to be treated with dignity and respect; however, thousands of adults who have disabilities are abused, neglected, and exploited in Alabama each year. To help raise awareness of elder abuse, communities and professionals across the nation and the world unite annually on June 15 to observe World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Activities in Tallapoosa County include displaying a purple bow outside the Tallapoosa County DHR office, asking employees and others professionals to wear purple, and the issuance of a proclamation by the Tallapoosa County Commission designating June 15th as Elder Abuse Awareness Day. June 15 is also the day set aside to promote this year’s national theme, Finish this Sentence Campaign “We Can Build Strong Supports for Elders by ….” One simple thing everyone can do on June 15 to raise awareness of elder abuse is wear the color purple. Purple is the color nationally recognized to represent elder abuse awareness. “Because the elderly are often dependent on others for their care and may become isolated, they are the primary targets for abuse, neglect and exploitation,” said Tallapoosa County Department of Human Resources (DHR) Director Brenda Floyd. “Sadly, victims are most often abused, neglected and exploited by individuals who are known and trusted by the elderly person. Our community partners can help by reporting suspected abuse, neglect, and exploitation and by assisting DHR in arranging services to protect those individuals who cannot protect themselves. They are essential to assisting DHR in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the elderly.” DHR is responsible for the investigation of adult abuse, neglect, and exploitation. In FY 2016, DHR investigated more than 9,000 reports of suspected abuse, neglect, and exploitation of vulnerable adults statewide, which included elderly persons. Please help us protect our vulnerable citizens who have contributed so much to our community. If you suspect mistreatment of an elderly person or an adult person who has disabilities, please call Tallapoosa County DHR at 256-8253700. Reports may be made toll free to the Adult Abuse Hotline 1-800-458-7214. Reports may also be made online at aps@ dhr.alabama.gov or to your local county Department of Human Resources. All reports are confidential and may be made anonymously.

Kids spell love T-I-M-E

’ve never been much of a Barbie man. I was always more of a G.I. Joe – Stretch Armstrong kind of guy. Barbies were just too girly for me—even Ken. Barbie’s beau is the original metrosexual, which is defined as a young, urban, heterosexual male with liberal political views, an interest in fashion, and a refined sense of taste. Yeah, I don’t identify with any of that. So when Emily wants me to visit her Barbie Dream House in the form of Ken, I do the best I can. The real me uses hair gel when I’m not wearing a ball cap, but that’s about as metro as I go. Therefore, as a child of the seventies and eighties, Ken somehow transforms into The Six Million Dollar Man. He makes the bionic sounds and everything. Bionic Ken doesn’t use the built-in elevator. Bionic Ken jumps from floor to floor. Lucy, who is 14 weeks pregnant, is no fan of the bionic sounds. Neither is Emily, but I think Barbie kind of digs it. Emily tells me to just be myself. I tried that, but she’s no fan of Bathroom Ken either. Ken has a cousin named Ben. Who knew? Ben is very similar to his cousin,

JODY FULLER Columnist

so I don’t really relate to him either. In fact, I don’t care for either one of them. They are the Coy and Vance Duke of the metro doll world. I thought about being Nature Boy Ken in honor of the legendary professional wrestler Nature Boy Ric Flair, but then I remembered that I have an actual doll of the real Nature Boy. He’s been standing on my dresser for years. I’m pretty sure Barbie would rather be hanging with the “jetflying, limousine-riding, kiss-stealing, wheeling, dealing son of a gun” over Ken and his scooter anyway. I suppose there could be G. I. Ken, Joe’s superior officer. The Army changes its uniform every few years, so they definitely care about fashion. Ken is no doubt a subject matter expert in the area. I know it’s a stretch, but according to Wikipedia, Ken has had over 40 jobs since his debut, so why not?

Speaking of stretch, Stretch Armstrong was one of my favorite toys when I was a kid. He was fun to pull on. I suppose that was the point. For some reason, I used to like to bite him so I could see the gel ooze out of him. Now that I think about it, it was not only wasteful but also quite disturbing. It didn’t taste very good either. I wonder if that’s where my stutter came from. I think Emily is right. Maybe I should just be me and not just bathroom me. Maybe I should just be the best Ken or Ben that I can be. It might be challenging, but it’s not about me; it’s about her. Ultimately, she simply wants someone to play with. While it may not be on my list of favorite things to do right now, I’m have no doubt that one day I’ll look back on it with incredibly fond memories. Besides, we all know how kids spell love: T-I-M-E. Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq. He is also a lifetime stutterer.

Bias in the media creates the appearance of fake news Dear Editor, After being barraged by phone calls and personal encounters concerning the Outlook’s staff report, “How much deeper can Trump’s mess get” with people asking if I would respond I found myself asking the same individuals, “ why don’t you respond?” I get the standard answers of “I can’t do that.” Sure you can. If you feel disagree strongly enough about something you need to address that issue. Anyway I read the piece and came to the conclusion that the author, the anonymous staff writer and the outlook staff, had the same biased opinion concerning the Trump administration due to the fact the writer keep saying we. The obvious bias helps foster the perception of fake news. I don’t know what testimony the writer watched because I got a totally different opinion of Mr. Comey’s testimony. First off, my opinion of Comey himself is that he was a political pawn appointee who worked for the Democrats mainly the Clintons and Obama. Comey is the weakest person I have ever seen. Being manipulated by everyone. Trump’s potential manipulation, which is yet to be proved pales in comparison to Loretta Lynch’s intentionally direction to lessen the effects of the criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton which

is now gaining traction with Democrats for an investigation. It seems our staff writer totally ignored the fact the head of the FBI intentionally leaked confidential Information. At this point can we believe anything Comey has to say? The bigger story here isn’t Trump’s mess but the total disarray of the Democratic (Socialist) party and the absolute desire to destroy Trump with any means possible to include the destruction of the Constitution. But what do you expect from bleeding heart liberal, socialist, democrat, anarchist, obstructionist? These people will not stop. Their politically correct socialist agenda train has been derailed and they are pissed. The Democrats are left holding the bag of the failed policies of the Obama administration and will do anything to avert attention from their failed leadership. In closing I would ask the staff of the Outlook to be held to the same standard as the citizens as far as submitting editorials or articles and identifying your work. Unless you are a Comey and scared. Woody Baird Alexander City De Opresso Liber

Trump’s mess doesn’t compare to that of Obama and Hillary Emma Jean Thweatt

Today’s

Dear Editor, So, you couldn’t resist jumping on the anti Trump bandwagon. I agree with one statement in your editorial. Character, honesty and integrity are paramount. I cannot name a single instance when Hillary Clinton displayed any of those. Don’t remember you ever naming her in your editorials. Barack Obama lied to me every time he spoke and you know so. He probably told more lies just about Obamacare than all the previous Presidents told altogether. Don’t remember ever reading anything from you about that. Even if everything you said were true (which it isn’t,) remember this: It was Barack Obama who lowered the bar to

becoming president. I know the history books are already being written proclaiming Obama to be the greatest president of all time, but the fact is that if it wasn’t for the harm that he did, he would be a laughing stock. He is very eloquent and articulate, a great speaker, and completely void of those qualities that you accuse Donald Trump of not having. He spent eight years blaming his incompetence on George Bush and calling everything a “phony crisis.” No, Barack Obama was a phony president. Who do you folks get your information from? Rosie O’Donnell? Tommie Simpson New Site

The Outlook

Jazz Fest was a treat for my family from England, especially the police

hat a week this has been, as my aura seemed to put a bad vibe on things that came along. It was and still is so lovely to have my cousins Elisa and Fleur here with us. The first days we stayed home due to rain, and having to be home for the luggage of Elisa that somehow got left off of the plane on which they were booked, after a night’s stay in Miami. A courier called at 10:30 p.m. Monday night. The girls had gone to bed and we were on the way, but he wanted to bring the luggage. It arrived the

next day, Tuesday morning from Montgomery. We attended both Jazz Fest evenings. Friday downtown was a great experience for my cousins, they were thrilled to be there. My son Jamie and wife Lisa celebrated 24 years of marriage, June 12th and the last I heard, they were in Opelika. Happy Birthday

to Merry Hardy who celebrates her big day on June 16th. I just learned that Mr. and Mrs. Bill Hardy of Alex City, The Lake and Nixburg had passed away some months back, I didn’t know that and was quite saddened. They were a fabulous, full of life couple and just as sweet as can be. My sympathies to the whole family. The girls loved the festive atmosphere, although the music was not usual Jazz Fest material. We were used to some New Orleans flavor and it was more geared to the Country music taste. Kudo’s to Tallapoosa Publishers for winning first place in the Table decoration contest. They had a fabulous black and very reallooking dog and a camo canoe up on their table. There were bait boxes

filled with worms of the gummy variety, goldfish and all sorts of fishing gear was featured on the table. I’m told Linda Ewing was responsible for the creative concept. It was well thought out, and deserved whatever prize they got. The food presentation was won by Access Auburn, deserving of the prize as they have supported the Jazz Fest for many years now. Everyone had a fun time, although we missed so many folks that usually attend annually. One of our highlights was seeing the bakery across from Strand Park, just down a little from The Chamber of Commerce. I didn’t know they were there, so I must get out more it seems, and look around in town. Inside they had photographs of cakes they do, even one with little feet and toes as decoration.

It reminded me of an English Bread shop, but elevated in style. In England, they do ordinary cakes, buns, and variety of fresh baked breads and pastries made every day, but usually don’t specialize in the professionally made, well decorated, specialty cakes that are available these days. Us cousins walked around the perimeters of Strand Park, found a really nice Alex City patrolman, Will Davis, and I asked if he would be kind enough to let me picture him with my visiting family. He was most accommodating and I would love to share the shot with you, it was quite special. Saturday, Ron grillsmoked some wonderful hickory Boston butt, after it brined overnight. Talk about deliciously tender with fabulous flavor! We packed some up with super

slaw and took it on our next adventure – the Jazz Fest at the Lake Martin Amphitheater. What a venue, and what a view and a beautiful sunset. My girls wondered with the name of the place, if they had the ballet or plays at the Amp. That would be nice, but that seems like a missed opportunity for great culture. The temperature could not have been better, it must have been the best weather in 27 years. In our collective opinion, (and my cousins came at this time of the summer specifically for the Jazz Fest as we had bragged about it so much.) Saturday night was not as well attended, but we stayed for the last performance, Paul Thorn. He was well worth it. Not only had writing and singing talent, but he was social and funny as well. We loved him, and enjoyed his style of music very much. Us girls did go down to the stage with the Stooges Brass Band, they were showing how to do a little dance, and that was good fun, but it was difficult to understand what was said. Anyway, my cousins are having a blast, and enjoying everything they get to do and see while they are here in Nixburg. More next week on the lake and shooting range. Plus, wonderful show coming June 23rd to EPAC that is very special, and you will not want to miss the details, here next week. Until next week, keep smiling.

June 6 was to be the start of the race for governor in Alabama, until Sessions appointment

hose of us who follow Alabama politics had circled June 6, 2017 as the beginning of the 2018 governor’s race. However, we did not foresee Donald Trump’s election as President in November and the subsequent appointment of our U.S. Senator, Jeff Sessions, as his Attorney General, thus, opening a U. S. Senate seat and causing the need for an unanticipated special election for the open senate seat this year. Therefore, the race for Sessions’ Senate seat will dominate the political news for at least the next three months. This Senate seat race has pushed back the timetable for gubernatorial aspirants by about three months. The thoroughbreds who might enter the Derby for the Brass Ring of Alabama politics probably have the luxury of waiting until Labor Day or maybe after the September 26 GOP runoff for U.S. Senator. However they do need to declare by October 1, because qualifying will begin in late November for next year’s June 5 Primary.

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist Also we did not anticipate the resignation of Governor Robert Bentley on April 10 and the ultimate elevation of Lt. Governor, Kay Ivey, to Governor. Kay Ivey has been governor for less than three months; however, she has taken to the post like a “duck to water.” She has been deliberative and decisive and looks very gubernatorial. She is slowly putting her people into Cabinet posts. Enterprise Mayor, Ken Boswell, is a good choice for ADECA Director. This is a prime post as it doles out all the Federal grants that come to the state for infrastructure projects. She has named Christopher Blankenship acting Commissioner of Conservation and Natural Resources.

She has removed Serve Alabama Director Jon Mason, and Alabama Law Enforcement Agency secretary, Stan Stabler. Her two closest advisors throughout her career have been Steve Pelham and Will Sellers. She has brought Pelham with her as her Chief of Staff. She has appointed Will Sellers to a vacant seat on the State Supreme Court. Pelham will be the most important person in state government for at least 18 months. These unforeseen events have changed the political landscape dramatically when it comes to the 2018 governor’s race. This time last year, Roy Moore and Luther Strange were two of the lead horses for governor. They are now the two frontrunners for the open Senate seat. Win or lose they are removed from the governor’s race. Kay Ivey’s elevation to governor has made her the favorite at this time. However, as this past year’s events reveal, a lot can change in a year’s time. As we assess the field with less than a year to the finish line, Kay

Ivey is the linchpin of the race. She is the incumbent. She has good name identification and her age, 72, is an advantage rather than a disadvantage. She looks like your grandmother. That sells better than young and glamorous, especially among female voters. They can identify and feel comfortable with Kay. Currently, Kay is in the proverbial catbird’s seat. The million dollar question is does Kay really want to run for a full four year term. If she were to ask me as a friend, I would tell her no. If I were her, I would not want to go through the rigors of a yearlong campaign. She can go to the house and proudly say that she was Governor of Alabama. A 20-month tenure as governor is not an insignificant amount of time. There are four significant thoroughbreds in the race, regardless of Ivey’s intentions. PSC President, Twinkle Cavanaugh, 50, is popular and well positioned. She has won three statewide races. Agriculture Commissioner, John McMillan, 75, has been at his important

post for eight years. He has done an exemplary job. However, he cannot run again. He is well liked. Huntsville Mayor, Tommy Battle, 61, will be a player in the governor’s race. He is the popular Mayor of Alabama’s economic crown jewel. Jefferson County Commissioner, David Carrington, 69, could be a factor. He has some name recognition from being seen often in the all-important Birmingham media market. If he gets strong support from the Birmingham suburbs, he could be a dark horse. Birmingham based evangelist, Scott Dawson, 49, might catch fire. Tuscaloosa’s popular young mayor, Walt Maddox, may make the gubernatorial plunge as a Democrat. We will see. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist. His weekly column appears in over 60 Alabama newspapers. He served 16 years in the state legislature.

Junior golfers take over Willow Point

Golf course Ranking SEC leaves mark coaches top to on players bottom Columnist

was struggling to come up with something interesting to write about this week when it hit me like a bolt of lightning. I’ll rank something. Everybody loves a good ranking. Some people love bad rankings even more. We rank the best players and the worst players. The best teams and the worst teams. I’ve even seen people rank which rankings were best. Here are the Southeastern Conference’s head honchos ranked from top to bottom. 1. Gus Malzahn… Just kidding… Nick Saban – This is the no-brainer of all no-brainers. Saban has a career record of 20561-1 and an obscene record at Alabama of 114-19. However, it goes beyond just numbers of wins and losses. His ability to recruit is second to none and his defensive mind is unmatched in college football. 2. Dan Mullen – This choice even surprised me, but I truly believe Mullen has done more with less than any other coach in the SEC. He has a 61-42 career record and has established more consistency at Mississippi State than any of his predecessors. 3. Gus Malzahn – I concede this could be a little high for Auburn’s Gus, but considering the competition it’s about right. His career record is 44-21, but an SEC title and national championship game appearance bolsters his resume. 4. Jim McElwain – He’s only been in the league for two years, but it’s hard to argue with two Eastern division titles as Florida’s head coach. His overall career record is 41-24. 5. Kevin Sumlin – Texas A&M always seems to recruit well and look like a national title contender early in the season. It also always seems to fade late. Sumlin might be doing less with more than anybody else. His career record is 79-38. 6. Butch Jones – Tennessee had fallen into the depths of mediocrity. Jones has at least made the Vols respectable again. They still have miles to go, but they’re closer now than they have been in a long time. Jones career record is 80-48. 7. Derek Mason – I know this seems high for a guy with a record of 13-24, but anybody who gets Vanderbilt to a bowl game is a great coach in my book. 8. Hugh Freeze – Points must be deducted for the absolute mess Ole Miss is in right now, but as the old guard used to say, “If you ain’t cheatin’, you ain’t tryin’.” 9. Mark Stoops – Kentucky has improved every year Stoops has been there. 19-30 is a terrible record, but the Wildcats are competitive and made it to a bowl game last year. 10. Will Muschamp – It’s not easy to screw things up at Florida. Coach Boom is 34-28 overall and has an opportunity to move up the list if things go well for South Carolina. 11. Kirby Smart – Smart is still an unknown commodity, but Georgia did lose to Vanderbilt last year. Kirby has a lot of time to prove himself… At least two years. 12. Bret Bielema – Bielema had great success at Wisconsin, but hasn’t been able to duplicate it at Arkansas. He talks a good game, but so far it’s just been hot air. 13. Ed Orgeron – Coach O was an absolute disaster at LSU. His 22-29 record is not misleading at all. He really was that bad. 14. Barry Odom – To be honest, Odom simply has the least amount of experience and the worst record at 4-8 at Missouri. I’ll be able to evaluate him better in the future.

As the Southern Golf Association’s Junior Championships kicked off Tuesday, so did the showcase of Willow Point’s scenic golf course on Lake Martin. “It’s a great course,” said Padraic Sim, of Spanish Fort. “It’s probably one of the best – if not the best – greens I’ve played on all year, and probably one of the best courses I’ve played in general.” Round 1 of the championships featured a lot of successful golfers with more than 20 players finishing under par. Some of that success was thanks in part to the greens Sim mentioned. “The greens are really nice and they’re firm,” said Leo Oyo, an 18-year-old from Lake Mary, Florida. “I like the course; it’s in really good shape.” Sim said, “They’re really, really smooth and really fast, and very well-manicured. It looks like they put a lot of money and thought into this, and I don’t see why the SGA Juniors would go to any other course besides this one, it’s just that good.” Others, though, had trouble with the Willow Point greens and said putting was a factor in their scores. “I would say I just need to work on distance control,” said Justin Kim, of Rome, Georgia, who carded a oneunder par 71. “Today the greens seemed a lot harder than in the practice round, so I had to adjust to that during the front nine. That’s the biggest thing for me, and doing better on my putting. It was hard to read those

Alabama golfer leads after Round 1 By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Ethan Hagood had a bit of a leg up when he started the Southern Golf Association’s Junior Championships, and it worked to his advantage. “I know a lot of people that live on Lake Martin, and I’ve been able to play this course before,” Hagood said. “It suits my eye really well. I had a really strong game plan for today, and I was able to just follow through with that.” After carding a 6-under 66, Hagood is the leader after the first day of competition. The highlight of the day was an eagle on No. 18, greens.” Another big challenge to Willow Point is its obvious proximity to Lake Martin. Holes 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 share a border with the water, making distance control and careful putting extremely important. “The front is the easier side, I would say, because there’s not as much water,” said Colorado State commit Andrew Lafferty, of Atlanta, Georgia. “In the back nine, the water really gets into play.” Sim shot a 76 on the day – four over par – and said the first five holes of the back nine were his downfall. Although he made an eagle on Hole 17 and birdied No.

and he also shot birdies on Nos. 5, 7, 10, 14 and 15. “I putted really well, but it was my driving that was probably the strongest of the day,” Hagood said. The score puts Hagood two strokes ahead of the field. J.P. Cave (Mobile), Kyle Cox (Carrollton, Texas) and Trey Bosco (Austin, Texas) all shot 68s, while Kolton Baber (Devol, Oklahoma) and Dongjin Park (South Korea) finished with 69s. The tournament is being held at Willow Point Golf & Country Club. Round 2 begins Wednesday morning, with the final round set for Thursday. A total of 29 golfers shot under par during Tuesday’s first round.

18, he couldn’t quite make up the ground. “I made a couple of wayward shots and just got really unlucky,” Sim said. “Adjusting to the first couple holes on the back nine will be the biggest challenge for me tomorrow. If you can play those holes at even par for the tournament, that’s definitely a bonus because it’s so hard. Water comes up on every single one of those holes, and I think that’ll be deciding factor in the tournament for sure.” Surprisingly, it wasn’t for everyone. Oyo, who scored a oneover 73 in Round 1, was even shocked with himself because the water didn’t give him too

much trouble. “It’s intimidating obviously, but for me personally, I actually didn’t think the water came into play as much as I thought it would,” Oyo said. “Hole 13 is the only one where they really tried to tuck the pin all the way back, so that’s one where it’s really going to come into play. But I personally don’t think the water is as big of a factor as everyone else thinks it is.” The second round is set for Wednesday. Of the 168 golfers competing in the first two rounds, 92 will be cut after the second round, and the final round will be played Thursday.

Alex City 8U All-Stars start off with a bang By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Everything was going Alex City’s way in Tuesday’s opening game of the 8U AllStar baseball tournament. With a 10-0 win in four innings over Childersburg, Alex City advances to face Phenix City West today at 5:30 p.m. in the double-elimination District 9 tournament. Phenix City West was also a fourinning victor on Tuesday night. “We played really good defense, and we preach that to the boys that that’s what’s going to win the game,” Alex City 8U coach Wes Coleman said. “In the end, if you’re going to win the championship, defense is going to win it, so I thought we did really well there.” In addition to a nearlyerror free defense, Alex City’s bats were also on fire during Tuesday’s win. The team racked up 10 hits, and all but two players of the 12 batters got on base at least once. Jesse Worthy and Poochie Byrd both went 2-for-2, and Worthy had one RBI. Worthy and CJ Young each had triples, and Eli Long and Carter Neese both smacked a double and accounted for an RBI. Charlie Lumpkin, Jamichael Greer, Dayton Lankert, Cade Coleman, Cash Sassano and Young all drove in a run apiece. Greer and Byrd each scored twice.

he heard that Parker shot towards a vehicle that Reese was riding in after a friend Rodney Carroll bet him he wouldn’t do it. A statement by Jacoby Graham, which was read by Foshee also indicated that he had heard that there was a bet involved. Foshee also read two statements from Parker where he never waivered, saying it was an accident that occurred as he was shooting toward a hill across the road. In one of the statements he said that he had stopped shooting and couldn’t believe that he had fired the shot that hit the car and struck Reese. It is alleged that Parker was at a home of Jeffery Bruno off Robinson Road near Alexander City and was shooting a .45 caliber handgun. Parker had been target shooting and Reese had been at the home, before leaving in a vehicle with a group of friends. A short time later the vehicle carrying Reese returned down the road towards the home and a number of shots, allegedly fired by Parker, were directed towards the vehicle. One shot struck Reese in the head as he rode in the back seat of the vehicle. Reese, a senior at Benjamin Russell High School who had been offered a basketball scholarship, was taken to Russell Medical, then flown to the University of Alabama Birmingham Medical Center where he died on Wednesday, March 29. Parker was charged with murder due to the fact that allegedly he “recklessly engaged in illegal conduct which created a grave risk of death and caused the death of another person,” police officials said. Parker was represented by Birmingham attorney Emory Anthony Jr. who questioned the lag in getting a statement from Young that included information of the possible bet. He also confirmed that Parker had been forthcoming, that he came to the police before asked and he led officers to the gun. The gun, Reese’s clothing, shell casings and the bullets taken from Reese’s body have all been sent to the Department or Forensic Sciences for testing. None of the results have been returned, Foshee testified. Taylor said that Parker could continue on the same $250,000 bond that was set at the time of his initial arrest. It was unclear when the grand jury may hear evidence.
