Price has $250,000 bond on murder charge By MITCH SNEED Editor
The man accused of shooting his neighbor to death as he cut his grass was denied a lower bond on the murder charge he is now facing. At his arraignment last week, Franklin Price, 51, of Alexander City saw his bond remain at $250,000. Attorney Mitch Gavin, who was appointed as the attorney for Price, filed motions in the case seeking evidence gathered by the state, a preliminary hearing and a reduction in bond. The motion for reduced bond asked that Price be let out of jail on personal recognizance. Judge Kim Taylor denied that request, but did reduce bond on two separate burglary charges that Price is also facing. Those two bonds were dropped from $50,000 to $15,000 each. So the total bond is now a total of $280,000 rather than the $350,000 that it had been previously. Price lived across Highway 63 from 49-yearold Clyde Wilson, who died after being shot once while cutting his grass on a riding lawnmower Wednesday, April 20, at about 9:30 a.m. Wilson died shortly after being shot on his property at 3823 Highway 63, just outside the Alexander City See BOND • Page 5

Billy Barrett and John Thompson paddle Hatchett Creek amongst Cahaba lilies. This weekend, the annual Hatchett Creek Festival offers a unique viewing experience for registered paddlers.
Lilies abloom Festival offers unique opportunities to view nature By DAVID GRANGER Staff Writer
A new law that allows municipalities to approve the size of their police jurisdictions could have a big impact on how many area residents are kept safe. The legislature passed a bill that requires any extension of the police jurisdiction outside the corporate limits of the city or town to be approved by the city council. In many areas of Tallapoosa County including areas just outside Alexander City, city police now provide coverage for an area as far as three miles outside the actual city limits. Now municipalities are faced with the choice of what they want to do and the matter could come before the Alexander City City Council as soon as next Monday’s meeting. It appears that Alexander City is looking at the possibility of pulling back from three miles, down to a mile and a half. See JURISDICTION • Page 11
If you love nature and own a canoe or kayak, the Hatchett Creek Festival, set for Saturday and Sunday, June 4 and 5, might be just for you. The two-day float down Hatchett Creek in Coosa County offers not only the experience on the water, but also the opportunity to view Cahaba lilies and participate, if you choose, in a bird identification walk or a wildflower identification walk. But you’ll have to wait for 2017. The festival is limited to the first 100 paddlers 12 years old or older who register and already 109 have signed up, including safety paddlers, said Beverly Bass, one of the landowners who is partnering with sponsors Alabama Scenic

Reeltown grown Kiwi could soon be sold worldwide By WILLIAM CARROLL TPI Staff
If you happen to find yourself on Alabama 120 in Tallapoosa County just outside of Reeltown you may have noticed hundreds of trellises lining the highway. Those trellises are part of an intricate pergola system for the growing of kiwi fruit, a very special type of kiwi created right here in Alabama and destined for markets around the world. For Southeast Kiwi Farming Cooperative Vice President and Orchard Manager Clint Wall, the farm is just another day at the office, but one, which has massive potential for
growth. Wall started the local operation in September 2014 after spending many years in New Zealand working as a manager of kiwi farms. Wall, who has 12 years of experience with kiwi farming techniques said that the demand for kiwi, especially in international markets, is high right now. One of the reasons for this is a bacteria known as pseudomonas syringae pv actinidiae or PSV, which has wiped out the kiwi industry in other counties. Luckily, the bacteria has not found its way to the U.S., which creates a perfect location for growing the fruit. Wall said the goal for his kiwi operation is to grow See KIWI • Page 5

DEAR ABBY: I’m in love with my boyfriend, and we’re about to move to a huge college town. We’ve been dating two years and I want him to be my husband, but at the same time I want to live life. I’m not even 21 yet, and I haven’t experienced life. I want to go to a bar or club and dance with whomever I want, maybe even have a hookup if it were to come down to it. I have never had a one-night stand and I don’t think I would, but if it came down to it -- who knows! I don’t want to hurt him, but I want him to be happy. He’s happy with me and I’m happy with him. What do I do? How do I tell him I’d like freedom to be a ho? -- NEED TO EXPERIENCE LIFE DEAR NEED TO EXPERIENCE LIFE: Explain to your boyfriend exactly the way you have described it to me, and if he is like 99 percent of the men on this planet,
DEAR ABBY Advice
your problem will be solved. “Ho-Ho-Ho!” DEAR ABBY: I’m 48 and the father of a 3-year-old son I love very much. His mother, “Chelsea,” is 45. They live with me, although Chelsea and I are not romantically involved. Our son was an “oops” baby, but we chose to live together so we could have him in our daily lives. Since moving in, Chelsea has decided she’s not responsible for any part of the household duties, nor does she have to sustain herself as we had previously agreed. I work full-time, pay all the bills and provide everything. I also do
the cooking and cleaning and pay for Chelsea’s cigarettes and personal items. She claims she wants to be a stay-at-home mom -- although she is more “stay at home” than “mom.” This infuriates me and has led to many arguments. I have tried reasoning with her and talking rationally; nothing works. It has turned into one shouting match after another. What can I do to set her straight while not putting our son at risk of suffering from all of this fallout? Throwing her out is obviously not the answer. I’m just not sure what is. -DOING IT ALL IN ARIZONA DEAR DOING IT ALL: While it would have been nice for your son to be surrounded by two loving parents who get along, that’s not how it has turned out. You should not be forced to shoulder as much of the responsibility as you have been saddled with, and living in a house with parents who are at each other’s throats is not a
healthy environment for a child. Chelsea appears to be lazy, and I have to wonder about how conscientious a parent she is if she sits around smoking with her child in the house all day. Talk to an attorney about assuming full custody of your son. Because his mother refuses to work, it follows that she’s in no position to support him. He is old enough for day care or preschool during the hours you are working. Then thank God you didn’t marry this woman, and tell Chelsea the free ride is over. If she can’t abide by the agreement you two had when she moved in, she’ll have to move out.

Alabama state legislature got very little done this session other than budgets
S
ometimes the best thing that the legislature can do in a session is to pass very little legislation. That can be said of this year’s regular legislative session, which ended several weeks ago. Not many bills made it through the legislative labyrinth. Gov. Robert Bentley made a proposed $800 million prison construction bond issue the cornerstone of his legislative agenda. It failed but not surprising given Bentley’s irrelevance in the legislative process. The surprising aspect is that the proposal got any traction at all. It came close to passing even though it looked like something that Gerald Wallace would dream up. Bentley’s prison proposal called for borrowing $800 million in a bond issue with no concrete way to pay back the debt from a

disastrously broke General Fund budget. It was a total secret as to where the four prisons were going to be built. I am sure this resonated well with senators and representatives who have prisons in their district or close by. Those prisons in places like Escambia, St. Clair, Elmore and Barbour counties, to name a few, are the largest employers in those counties. There are also serious questions about the design method proposed for the men’s prisons that would have allowed a single architectural firm to get the contract for all three mega men’s prisons. In addition, one general contractor was going to get the contract the parking lot perimeter. All spaces, both inside and outside are available on a first come first serve basis.

for all four prisons. One bonding firm was going to get the deal to float the bonds. It sounds to me like some folks were going to get rich on this deal. Legislators were asked to buy a pig in a poke. Legislators did pass both budgets. In fact, they passed them early in the session. Since passing the budgets is the only constitutional mandate for a session, I would give this session a C+. However, since they killed some bad legislation, I might rate the session a B-. Then again, their failure to vote to allow their constituents the opportunity to vote on a lottery may drop them back to a C. It is beyond comprehension how a legislator could not vote to let their people vote on keeping their money in state. Alabamians buy lottery tickets. They just drive to Georgia, Florida and Tennessee to get
them. Thus, giving our money to these states. It is as though they are saying, “Here, Florida. We are so rich you can have some of our money.” They chose instead to cut the Medicaid budget, which will force cuts to services like adult’s and children’s pharmacy and outpatient dialysis. It will also lead to cuts in payments to physicians. Medicaid undergirds Alabama’s entire healthcare delivery system. More than half the births in the state and 47 percent of the children, as well as 60 percent of Alabama’s nursing home residents, are covered by Medicaid. Bentley had repeatedly asked for more money for Medicaid but the legislature ignored his pleas. The governor was on the sidelines on a proposed gas tax increase for roads and bridges in the state.

never really got off the ground. It appears that the road builders and certain mayors have very little influence in the legislature. Even though the legislature passed a barebones General Fund budget, which cuts state services and state employees’ take home pay again, the special education budget was another story. With the upturn in the economy the education coffers are flush. The state’s $6.3 billion Education Trust Fund Budget was the largest since 2008. It included increases for transportation, classroom supplies and a four percent raise for teachers. The Budget also provided full funding for Education Employees Health Insurance (PEEHIP). However, that
increase was offset by the PEEHIP Board voting to increase the cost of individual plans from $15-$30 a month and family plans from $177 to $207 a month. There were hints by the Governor that a Special Session may be called for late summer to address the Medicaid problem and his prison bond issue. However, with clouds hovering over the Governor and Speaker of the House, the spectacle of a Special Session is doubtful. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist.

kiwi for markets in Asia. “The premium markets for kiwi are located in China, Japan and Korea,” Wall said. “Our goal will be to produce fruit specifically for those markets overseas.” The kiwi grown here is not the same type of kiwi you might be familiar with. “Most of the kiwi you see in your local grocery store is green kiwi,” Wall said. “We are growing a variety of gold kiwi known as AU Golden Sunshine.” According to Wall, golden kiwi is actually sweeter to the taste buds than is green kiwi and the golden variety also has more nutrient content. The AU delineation in the kiwi’s title comes from Auburn University, which Wall credited with creating this specific variety. “The plants were developed by Auburn University under the direction of Dr. William Dozier,” Wall said. According to Auburn University Associate Professor Dr. Jay Spears, Dozier was instrumental in developing this particular variety of kiwi fruit. “He was very involved in developing these cultivars,” Spears said. “In fact if you look at the patents, you’ll see Dr. Dozier’s name.” Spears said research in the southeast on kiwi plants dates back to the 1980s. “Several groups tried growing kiwi fruit on the Gulf Coast in the 1980s,” Spears said. “All of these plants go dormant in the
winter and they have a chilling requirement between 32 and 45 degrees.” Spears explained that due to warmer temperatures on the Gulf, the original plants did not produce many flowers or fruit since the chilling temperature was never reached. He said at that point additional research was conducted including Auburn’s own research into kiwi fruit. “The gold kiwi we now have came from a seedling selected in China,” Spears said. “Since 1995 we’ve been evaluating these cultivars.” Spears agreed that golden kiwi fruit is sweeter to the taste noting that most people actually prefer it to the more traditional variety. Spears said that Auburn works closely with the cooperative. “We collaborate quite a bit, hopefully we will be able to get a lot of research out of the project,” he said. “They (the cooperative) employ a lot of student workers. They have a lot of job opportunities. In fact we have two students out there right now. A lot of my research projects are geared towards helping to make the project successful.” Wall said in addition to Auburn students he also offers opportunities for local high school students including those at Reeltown High School. “We have been fortunate in that we have been able to hire local workers,” Wall said, noting that he has a core group of 7, who
Bond
put in 60 plus hour weeks and a total of 15, including part time workers. The farm itself is located on 418 acres located alongside Alabama 120. Of that acreage, 108 acres are currently cultivated for kiwi farming. The fruits, which grow on vines, require an extensive trellis system and state of the art irrigation techniques in order to produce. In support of the irrigation system the property has natural water sources in the form of several lakes serviced by pumping stations, which Wall said can push some 7,000 gallons of water a minute. Both male and female plants are required to produce the golden fruit. In order to pollinate the female plants, Wall uses a male variety appropriately called AU Tiger. Wall also is working with an area beekeeper to keep bees on the property for pollination purposes. “We have 54 hives on the property,” Wall said. The plants themselves start off at a nursery in Tuskeegee, which has partnered with the coop. Ross Carlton, who works for the nursery, said that he has provided some 30,000 plants to Wall over the last couple of years. Carlton said the plants are grown in the nursery until they are a year old and then they are sent to the coop to continue the growth process. According to Spears, kiwi farming is not an inexpensive crop to grow. “It is an intimidating crop to grow,” says Spears.
“You need a large investment for the trellis system and all the work that is involved. The trick is finding that funding.” Wall said that he has around $10,000 per acre invested in the active parts of the farm, which includes the pergola and irrigation systems. Wall was able to acquire investors in California who were willing to partner with him to fund the operation. Wall said he hopes to be fully producing fruit by 2018 and that the ultimate goal for the coop is not simply growing kiwi fruit, but that he wants to create an Alabama brand, which will be recognized and respected throughout the world. In creating the brand he wants to set specific quality control standards to ensure the best quality product. Wall said the plans for the future also include building a pack house and cool storage facility that could be used not only to store kiwi, but also to help other Alabama farmers package and store their own fruits. “We have a lot of good fruits here in Alabama,” he said. “I’d like to see us package and market them for a bigger market.” “I am very excited about all of this,” Spears said. “We don’t have anything like this in the southeast. I’d like to see it expand and help to enhance fruit production in Alabama. Our hope is that others will see what is happening here and get interested in getting involved.”

limits. Investigators said that Wilson suffered a single gunshot wound that passed through his arm and into his chest with no visible exit wound. He was pronounced dead at Russell Medical Center. Price indicated that he saw a red truck stop in the roadway, heard a gunshot and then saw Wilson fall from the mower. Investigators cited inconsistent statements and physical evidence obtained during a search warrant of Price’s resi-
dence as factors that lead investigators to consider him a person of interest in the crime. On April 22, a search warrant for a wooded area adjoining Price’s residence turned up a .22 caliber rifle that was determined to be the weapon used in Wilson’s murder. Judge Taylor did grant Gavin’s motion for discovery in the case, meaning that all evidence gathered by investigators will be shared with Price’s defense. There were no new dates set in the case, according to court records.

ard to realize we are already into June. Soon half the year will have gone and this month will be filled with weddings and summer functions. Hope you all had a fabulous Memorial Day with your family and enjoyed great grub. We had cheeseburgers on the grill. They were delicious with homefries. Then we watched “Bridge Over the River Kwai.” I love that film. It always makes me think of my Dad (born on June 4th) enlisting into the Army in Singapore and then, two weeks later when the Japanese raided the island, he was a POW until liberated and made to work on the Burmese Railway every day. I know that portion of his life was torture, but my Dad just couldn’t talk to us about it. He did bring home a Japanese sword as a souvenir, but Dad never

locked his flat door and it was stolen, along with his motorcycle jacket and boots, which his children would have loved to own. According to my Dad’s sister, Joy (who swam for her life while Japs were shooting into the water), my Dad was very mistreated during the war years and always a tough man. with no lotions for the sun, he was badly burned from the outside working and Joy almost didn’t recognize her brother, Alf, when they met after they both got to England. Auntie Joy wrote and said the Japanese had agreed to pay for all of the man-hours they stole from British prisoners of war, but the money never came. George, Dad’s youngest brother, was kept with my grandmother, other women and children, and on the other side of the camp, Eric, was with his father and the other older men – all at Changi Prison. Eric really didn’t get over this ordeal and wrote some memoirs about being rounded up like animals and imprisoned with no personal supplies. Eric’s writings were found after his death. Very traumatic for all of my Dad’s family. Another brother was captured and put to work as a medical nurse. I know many have similar stories from wartime. I just don’t want us to forget how bad it was during those years and it is so long ago not many still surviving can recall rations, black-outs and the bombings of London or Pearl Harbor. The men and women of the Second World War were truly the “Greatest Generation” and are certainly to be admired, one and all. I was surprised that our President decided to visit Japan. Maybe he is just trying to see the world before his term is finished. EPAC’s queenly entertainment was the biggest hit last Friday in Equality. A
wonderful Time was enjoyed Adding to the Queen Team (including our own Peggy Shores) of entertainment were Sara Jo Burks (Ms. Senior Heart of Dixie 2016) and Rita Young Allen (Ms. Senior Shelby County 2016). Both will compete for the Ms. Senior Alabama title at Wallace State Community College in Hanceville on Aug. 6 and the winner of the state pageant will compete for Ms. Senior America in Atlantic City, N.J. in October. First Saturday there will be lunch served from10 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Equality Firehouse on Highway 9 next to Quality Foods. Cost is $6 per plate and you choose BBQ sandwich or a hot dog, with chips, dessert and a drink to eat-in or carry out. They also have a homemade bake sale with cakes, pies, breads and cookies. These items are lovingly made by the Equality Volunteer Fire Department members that are good homemakers. I am told that the sweet things sell out quickly, and the bake sale begins at 7:30 a.m. All proceeds go to the building fund for the new firehouse. June is National Iced Tea month, so put some ice and lemon in it and enjoy the quench. While you are out on first Saturday, stop by and visit a spell at my shop in Nixburg. I’ll be there until about 1:30 p.m., when the heat is building. You know Nixburg was once a thriving hub for business with a laundry and a two-story hotel. I like to think that if the women had the right to vote back then, that Nixburg would have been the county seat instead of Rockford because it didn’t lose by many votes. Many good folks lived in Nixburg in the old days, helping to keep it on the map. Enjoy the season, and until next week, keep smiling. Rosie Morgan is a community columnist for The Outlook.

New Site’s Meadows honored at Auburn 50+ celebrated Older Americans Month
S
ydney Meadows is a very lucky, pretty, kind, and intelligent young lady to whom all of us are proud to say, “We love you, congratulations and God bless you in your awesome selection of what you wish from life now in this wonderful world.” Your grandparents, Linda and Sanford Meadows, told us about your accomplishments and plans. You have all our blessings because you are such a deserving young lady who represents New Site well. On April 23, Sydney was recognized as an Outstanding Freshman by the Auburn University College of Sciences and Mathematics. She attended the college’s Honors Convocation where she and some of her fellow classmates were recognized for maintaining a 4.0 GPA during the 2015-16 school year. Meadows is currently a PrePharmacy student at Auburn and plans to apply to Harrison School of Pharmacy next summer. In addition to her academic achievements, she serves as the treasurer
VIRGINIA YATES New Site
for the American Red Cross Club of Auburn University and is a member of the national Society of Collegiate Scholars, Pre-Pharmacy Club of Auburn University, and Alpha Epsilon Delta, a prehealth honor society. Meadows also works part-time as a pharmacy technician at the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. I hope and pray everyone had a delightful Memorial Day celebration and remember why we celebrate Memorial Day. Many people are taking vacation breaks since school is out now. Have a safe time. Many people cannot go due to their children still playing in ball tournaments. But you can go upon completion of your ball duties. Lindy Hill, a good man to everyone, was recently awarded a plaque for his outstanding work in New Salem Baptist Church and Community.
Believe me, he deserved the recognition. Lindy Hill’s cabbage garden produced the best cabbage anyone could want. My cooked head of cabbage was mouth-watering. Keep in your prayers Betty Harry, George Goodson, Jimmy Hugh Jackson, Jimmy and Doris Harry, Gerald Vickers and his wife, Carrie Vickers, and anyone I missed. A lovely couple will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary soon. God has truly blessed this sweet couple in Rocky Creek Community. God bless Clyde and Nita Gail Holt! Everyone loves you very much. Happy late birthday to Bryan Lee Yates, our nephew of Alexander City. We love you! Come join us at Picking and Grinning on the first and third Saturday nights from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Smile and thank God for your many blessings. Yates is a community columnist for The Outlook. She is a resident of New Site and writes about the events and people of the New Site area.
T
he Alexander City Parks & Recreation 50+ has been celebrating Older Americans Month. We say thank you to those who contribute to our communities and our nation. This special age group supports a wide range of home and community services, such as meals-on-wheels, in-home services, transportation, legal services, elder abuse prevention, save a life and caregivers support. If you do not realize just how important the services that they volunteer for in our are, you definitely would feel the effect if they decided to take off for several days or weeks. We started celebrating in April with a group trip to the Alabama vs. Auburn baseball game at the Montgomery’s Riverfront Park, then two chartered bus trips out of town going to Foley and eating at the famous Lamberth’s Home of the Throwed Roll and the other trip was to Chattanooga, Tennessee to enjoy a riverboat cruise with lunch. Senior Activity Supervisor, Corley Holt loves spoiling the seniors pretty much year around! We wrapped up our celebration with the 11th Annual ACPR 50+ May Day event on Wednesday, May 18 at Wind Creek State Park which we have to tell you more about. You could have easily looked outside and assumed that the event would have been canceled
CORLEY HOLT AND LUCILLE THOMPSON Senior Moments
because of how the sky looked or by watching the weather report. However, when you pray and ask God to give you just enough time to have the event He shows up big time! It turned out to be one of the best times we have had down at Wind Creek. Sonny Wilson, Parks & Recreation Director, started the event with the Opening Prayer, Jerry Burnette led the Pledge of Allegiance, Jamie Hutcherson sang the Star Spangled Banner and Gwen Coley spoke on being joyful. Music DJ, Steve Culberson turned on our favorite tunes and fun began. Boat ride tours were provided by ACPR 50+ for the event throughout the day. We say a big thank you to our super sweet boat drivers Roger Smith and Larry Luke! Kathy Luke hollered out (ha, ha) Bingo numbers, Sherry Smith helped to demonstrate contest moves especially during the Twist! Our 2016 Couple Dance award went to Jerry and Brenda Burnette, 2016 Runway Model was awarded to Queen and the 2016 Twist Award went to Jeanette Baker. Koon’s Catering brought in the food for the event right on time and always with
a smile! We had plenty of food for some to even take a to-go plate at the end of the day. Want to say Thank you to Lillian Howard for being able to help serve lunch and being in charge of boat rental/return. It was great to have Susan Tilley and Janice Taylor be a part of the celebration and help promote the event. Lake Martin Home Health, Alacare, Brown’s Nursing Home, Chapman’s Nursing Home along with Dadeville Rehab facility, Russell Medical Center, RMC Total Fitness and Dr. Paul R. Goldhagen representatives were at the event to help out and donate door prizes or provide goodies. Mr. Lucas donated the delicious ice cream for the event which was unexpected and was a greatly appreciated surprise! Wind Creek State Park donated the use of the pavilion area for the day that, too, was also unexpected and greatly appreciated. It was so nice to have residents join us from the Bill Nichols Home along with other groups such as Great Bethel Baptist and the Senior Nutrition Center. Many thank yous to those who help in some way with the ACPR 50+ Celebration. Until next time, keep a smile on your face and love in your heart. Holt writes about Alexander City Parks and Recreation Department’s 50+ Club.

FAMILIAR FACE, NEW PLACE Former BRHS coach Tony Franklin named Wallace State men’s and women’s tennis coach STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
A familiar face to Benjamin Russell sports fans hasn’t stayed retired for very long. Tony Franklin, a long-time high school tennis coach, has been named the new men’s and women’s tennis coach at Hanceville’s Wallace State as the college prepares to field men’s and women’s tennis this fall for the first time since 2004. Franklin will lead the Wallace State tennis programs after spending 26 seasons as tennis coach at Benjamin Russell High School in Alexander City, where he coached both the boys’ and girls’ programs throughout his career. “I’m honored, excited and very fortunate to have this opportunity. I’ve wanted to coach at this level for a long time,” said Franklin, who has also served as a tennis pro at Willow Point Country Club in Alex City for the last eight years. “I know how successful the Wallace State tennis programs once were, and it’s going to be our goal to get back to that spot.” Before the tennis programs were discontinued in 2004, they accounted for four of the seven NJCAA national titles earned by Wallace State athletics and won multiple conference championships. The men’s program won NJCAA Division II titles in 1995 and 1996 and the women in 1995 and 1999. Franklin, 55, has been around the game his entire life. He played tennis at Sulligent High School and played collegiately at the former Brewer State College (now Bevill State) in Fayette and Huntingdon College in Montgomery. He earned his master’s degree at Auburn University – Montgomery. While Franklin was coaching tennis at Benjamin Russell, he served as a sixth-grade teacher at Radney Elementary School in Alexander City. As a tennis pro and enthusiast, Franklin watched Central Alabama Community College develop its tennis programs in Alex City and it increased his desire even more into potentially leading a collegiate program one day. “When I interviewed, I thanked Wallace State for bringing tennis back, whether I got the job or not. It gives high school athletes an opportunity to play they might not otherwise have, and it’s a sport they can continue all their lives,” Franklin said. Wallace State athletics began to lay the foundation last fall of reintroducing its tennis programs, and Paul Creech, a member of the United States Tennis
Special / The Outlook
It was announced Friday that long-time Benjamin Russell tennis coach Tony Franklin had been chosen to lead the Wallace State tennis program.
Association (USTA), served as the college’s tennis recruiter until Franklin’s appointment. Clint Watson, already a Wallace State student and a Cullman graduate, was the first individual to sign a letter of intent to play tennis for the Lions during the new era and many talented players have followed. Franklin welcomed Cullman’s Jacob Lambert on Wednesday after recently having Lakken Long (Muscle Shoals) and Luke Bowden (Cullman) sign letter of intents. Wallace State offers six scholarships apiece for the men’s and women’s programs. “Paul Creech did a lot of recruiting before I came on board and did a great job. He signed some great tennis players and even better kids. I can’t say enough about the job Paul did,” Franklin said. “As a former high school coach, I’ve seen a lot of our new team members play. I’m familiar with their potential because they gave my team problems in high school. So I’m excited about our first season.”
One of Franklin’s favorite aspects about tennis is the life lessons it teaches you throughout the course of a match. “Tennis is a match full of problem solving. That’s what life is. You go to work every day and have to solve problems,” Franklin said. “I like to instill mental toughness in my players. When things don’t go well in a match, you can’t pout and get mad. You have to think about what your opponent is doing, what you are doing and how you can change things to be successful.” With the addition of men’s and women’s tennis, Wallace State now offers scholarships to potential athletes in 10 different sports, joining baseball, softball, men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’s golf and cheerleading. “Wallace State is such a great environment, and the athletics department is dedicated to winning. I knew about the success at Wallace State, and once I dug deeper into the program, I knew I wanted to be a part of this place,” Franklin said.
Softball becoming the sport to watch S
unday I watched a softball game. Not just any ol’ regular softball game. I watched a special one. I watched Michigan take on Missouri. Or, as it is more commonly known, “The Battle for the Old Neon Bucket of Oversized Softballs”. (Editor’s note: It’s not really called that.) You heard me. I watched Michigan… Play Missouri… In softball…. On purpose. OK, that’s not EXACTLY fair; I didn’t watch the whole game. Let’s not go nuts. But if I only watched 12-15 minutes (which seems about right), that’s 20-30 more minutes than I would have ever thought I would watch just a year or two ago. Here’s the deal , though: softball is fun to watch. It’s exciting, it’s fast-paced and it’s filled with unbridled passion. You know, like the opposite of your prom night. I am not going to pre-

tend that I like softball enough to follow its recruiting or keep up with the rosters. No chance. Those memory banks are reserved for football and occasionally basketball. However, I certainly like softball more than baseball now. That’s actually a blowout. Softball feels like college sports ought to feel; baseball feels like something you watch on PBS or The History Channel when you can’t sleep. The mere fact that I WANTED to see some of the Mizzou/ Michigan game is miraculous. It’s especially incredible considering neither of those teams is Alabama or Auburn (the two squads in which I have the most interest regardless of
sport). It’s downright mindboggling when you consider you literally could not PAY me to watch Alabama or Auburn play baseball. Of course one of those literal reasons is because neither the Tide nor Tigers is playing baseball right now. Alabama just missed out on an opportunity to be a warm-up game for some national seed in the NCAA Tournament and Auburn…… Well…. They were consistently bad enough to miss the SEC Tournament so a bid to the NCAAs was out of the question. Meanwhile the UA and AU women’s softball teams are talented, entertaining and really, really good. So talented, entertaining and good, in fact, that I have begun watching other teams from other conferences play softball just because it was on TV. Heck, I used the guide on my remote control to try and find the dang game!
Conversely, there is a 0.0 percent chance I could suffer through 120 seconds of the Red Sox against the Yankees right now no matter how often ESPN tried to make me. The weird thing is that I am – for the most part – a traditionalist when it comes to football. I like solid defense and oldschool uniforms. When it comes to softball, though, I have grown fond of watching that glowing yellow ball leave the stadium with relative frequency. Baseball may be America’s Pastime, but I don’t think anyone can argue it is a better watch than softball right now. One of those two sports feels like an Elementary School’s Field Day just before summer and one feels about as interesting as a 7th grade class on The History of Naps in Canada.

River Trail and Central Alabama Electric Cooperative for the event. “We have 109 signed up and that includes the safety paddlers,” said Bass. “That doesn’t include the Festival committee members, so we’ll probably have about 120 on the water.” She said the 12-year-old cut-off age is to due to the unpredictability of the creek’s flow and difficulty to maneuver. “We never can be sure how much water is going to be in Hatchett Creek, what the flow level will be and, as a result, what the difficulty of the trip will be,” said Bass, who owns the property will paddlers will camp overnight Saturday night. “With that in mind, we felt like 12 would be a good cut-off age.” Cost for the two-day experience is $50 per person and includes the trip, transportation from the takeout point (on the property of Sally Holland, adjacent to Highway 231, where participants will park their vehicles) to the start point, transportation to the camp site to unload camping gear, Saturday evening’s meal and Sunday breakfast, festival t-shirts and the opportunity to participate in the bird and/or wildflower walks, which leave from the camp site on Saturday afternoon. There will also be entertainment on Saturday evening from Montgomery’s Rob Thornhill. For the last couple of years, Bass said, the event has had the maximum number of paddlers. “For the first two years, we had a lower limit because we weren’t really sure what to expect, how many paddlers we could accommodate,” Bass said. “For the last couple of years, though, we’ve had right at 100 paddlers, plus the safety paddlers and committee members.” Bass said the safety paddlers are experienced paddlers who mingle with the participants as a safety measure. They can assist paddlers who “tump” over in their boat by helping them right and re-enter the craft. They also are able to advise

paddlers on how to maneuver through certain sections of the float. The festival was originally the idea of former Coosa County Alabama Cooperative Extension Systen agent Roger Vines, who helped to popularize paddling in Coosa County before his retirement in 2015. “We had a situation where people would float either Hatchett Creek or Weogufka Creek and wouldn’t really know what the distance was,” Vines said. “As a result, the Sheriff’s Department was getting a lot of calls about paddlers not showing up when they were supposed to when the problem was they really didn’t have a handle on the distance. “So I wrote a grant and me and a couple of my county agent buddies went as far up as we could float in both creeks and floated back down with cameras and a GPS. We took pictures of wildlife and some of the plant life, but, most importantly, measured the distances. We used all that to put together a two-sided map that included both creeks that paddlers could use when they floated either of them.” Vines said the festival grew out of paddler’s positive comments on their floats of Hatchett Creek and the desire to introduce more
paddlers to all it had to offer. “I headed the festival up the first couple of years, so I wasn’t able to actually participate in the float,” Vines said. “I’ll be there this year and it will be my second time to participate. I guess that’s a good thing about retirement.” Vines also expressed his appreciation to the Central Alabama Electric Cooperative, without which, he said, it would be difficult to keep the Festival going. Participants provide their own canoes/kayaks, camping gear/tents, and personal flotation equipment (required on the water). The campsite is equipped with portable restrooms and hand-washing stations. The festival is a family oriented event – no alcohol or pets permitted. Other partners and sponsors of the event are landowners Tommy Bass (Beverly’s husband) and Sally Holland, Alabama Cooperative Extension System, Coosa County Sheriff’s Office, Thrash’s Floors & More, Fred Brooks & Smooth Sounds and Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen.

Jurisdiction It’s a decision that could have a tremendous impact on the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department, as it would have to find a way to handled the added area with the limited staff that it now employs. “For us, to pull it back to a mile and a half would increase the geographic area we have to cover and with the existing personnel, that would be very tough,” Sheriff Jimmy Abbett said. “The way we have done it works well. We rely on each other. I understand cost concerns, but it’s really more than just gauging what is cost effective. It really a safety issue for the people who live in those areas.” Abbett said when you look at other issues such as reconfiguring 9-1-1 calls and other logistics that go into a possible change, the cost savings might not be much at all, but he knows the service would be hampered. “I’d like to have the opportunity to sit down with them and the county commissioners in a work session to discuss it so that we

An Alexander City man killed Monday in a fiery, single-car crash in Coosa County. According to Alabama Law Enforcement Agency spokesman Cpl. Jesse Thornton, Sheldon Hinder, 54, was killed when the 1991 Mazda Miata he was driving left the roadway, struck a tree and caught fire. The secluded area meant that other motorists were on the scene before emergency personnel could arrive. Hinder was pronounced dead at the scene. The crash occurred at 12:25 p.m. on Coosa County 20, according to Thornton. There was no information released on the cause of the accident. Thornton said that the crash remained under investigation. During the official Memorial Day holiday

travel period – between 6 a.m. Friday, May 27, and midnight Monday, May 30 – Alabama State Troopers investigated 11 traffic fatalities, compared with the seven traffic fatalities Troopers investigated in 2015 during the same extended holiday weekend. The crashes included four drivers, three passengers and four motorcyclists, and they occurred in Bullock, Coosa, Crenshaw, Cullman, Houston, Mobile and Washington counties. Sunday, May 29, was the only zero-fatality day of the four-day weekend. All four motorcyclists killed were using helmets, and only four of the other seven individuals killed were using seat belts. Alcohol involvement is not available as Troopers continue to investigate the crashes. In addition, Marine Patrol Troopers had no boating fatalities for the second Memorial Day weekend in a row.

past and Alexander City Schools have even offered it during some of the school year breaks like spring break. According to the USDA website, the program is designed to reach those children and teenagers who might have problems finding regular meals in the summer. In Alexander City, Stephens Elementary School is the site of the program and will offer both breakfast and lunch on weekdays from June 1 to June 29 and July 5 to July 29. Breakfast is served from 7 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. and lunch will be served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. For Tallapoosa County Schools, the program will be offered at the Dadeville Elementary Cafeteria and the Reeltown High School Cafeteria and they too will offer both breakfast and lunch on weekdays from June 1 to June 30. Breakfast will be served from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m and lunch will be served from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

can look at all the information and issues,” Abbett said. “That way we could be sure that we are all on the same page.” Alexander City Mayor Charles Shaw said he learned of the law when it was proposed. At that time Shaw said there were come conversations about the impact of cost of providing the service versus the revenue from taxes collected in those areas. “I haven’t seen the agenda or the resolution, so I’m not aware of any of the thoughts that went into it or the specifics,” Shaw said. “Currently we cover three miles from the city limits and under the law we could reduce that to a mile and a half or pull it into the city limits. But there’s a lot to consider as far as cost and tax revenue, so I’m not sure what the council’s thinking is on this.” Ward Sellers, who handles business licenses and taxes for the city, said he has looked at the revenue collected in those areas. In the area that would be eliminated if the council were to vote to reduce the coverage area
down to a mile and a half, Sellers said the city only receives limited revenue there. “We are able to collect 1.5 percent on power bills and half the rate on sales taxes and business licenses,” Sellers said. “In that extra mile and half, there really isn’t very much in the way of businesses. So the best I can figure, the city only realizes about $9,000 in revenue there. Of that, $8,000 is from the power bills.” As far as the cost associated with the coverage in that area, Sellers said an exact amount has not been determined. Councilman Billy Ray Wall said Tuesday that he has looked at the law, but said he believes the issue may need to be studied and discussed more before a decision is made. “You want to do what’s right, but sometime you have to look at what you can afford,” Wall said. “I think we may need to have a work session to look at all the numbers before we made a decision on the spur of the moment on something as important as this.”
