Generals continue search for football coach By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
The process of hiring a new football coach at Horseshoe Bend is progressing following the departure of Jason Franklin to Elmore County and Holtville High School. Tuesday night at a work session of the Tallapoosa County Board of Education, Tallapoosa County Schools Superintendent Joe Windle explained the hiring process for the a new football coach at the Horseshoe Bend School. “We are going to keep open the posting until March 17,” Windle said. “We have 38 applicants as of yesterday (Monday).

A bill that would abolish marriage licenses in the state, in response to the national debate over government-sanctioned marriage, passed in the Alabama Senate Wednesday in a 22-6 vote. Sen. Greg Albritton (R-Bay Minette) is the sponsor of Senate Bill 20 and if it clears the House and is signed into law by Gov. Robert Bentley, it would abolish all requirements to obtain a marriage license in Alabama. Instead, probate judges would simply record civil contracts of marriage between two individuals based on signed affidavits. After the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sax marriage nationwide in Obergefell v. Hodges, similar bills have been continually introduced in the state legislature. Many Alabama probate judges stopped issuing licenses after the court’s decision, and eight jurisdictions are continuing that practice as of last October. Tallapoosa County Probate Court Judge Leon Archer said he was aware of the bill, but didn’t see where it would significantly change the workload in the state’s probate offices. See BILL • Page 3

DEAR ABBY: I’m 51 and my boyfriend is 43. We’ve been dating for eight months, living together for five. We met at work a few months before we started dating. We get along great and never argue, but he won’t let me meet his family. He has never been married and has no children. He sees his mom and brother sometimes for dinner and such, but because his mom doesn’t have any grandchildren and I can’t give her any, he said he’s not ready to tell her about me. Does this make sense? -- OUTSIDER IN LOUISIANA DEAR OUTSIDER: If, after eight months of dating and living together for five, you still haven’t met his family, he has no intention of introducing you -- ever. Your inability to give his mother grandchildren has nothing to do with it. You are a human being, not a broodmare, and the excuse he’s giving you makes
DEAR ABBY Advice
no sense. Picture this scenario: “Hey, Ma, this is ‘Becky’ and she’s fertile!” Puh-leeze! DEAR ABBY: My sister, who is very religious, sent my gay daughter a Bible with her name engraved on it for Christmas, even though we told her -- after she asked for suggestions -that a gift card would be more appropriate. We are not religious, by the way. My wife and I feel strange about it, as if my sister is trying to tell us something like, “Your gay daughter needs religion.” How should we respond to this? -- BAFFLED IN THE EAST
DEAR BAFFLED: You do not have to respond. The Bible was a gift for your daughter, and the “privilege” of acknowledging it, ignoring it or regifting it is hers. What I do not recommend is allowing your sister’s gift choice to become an argument about your family’s values. DEAR ABBY: I’ve recently rekindled an old romance with a wonderful guy. Only one thing mars our relationship. When we go out to eat, we don’t carry on a conversation past occasional chitchat. The problem may be that while he’s a speedy eater, I’m slow. I feel bad about not being able to talk and chew fast enough to keep up, so he finishes well before me and ends up waiting quite a while until I polish off my meal. Can you offer any suggestions on how to come to a compromise where dinner isn’t a race to the finish line, but an
experience full of laughter and discussion? -- SLOWER IN CALIFORNIA DEAR SLOWER: Yes, but it may involve making the meal even longer. If there’s a topic you would like to explore with him, put down your fork, swallow your food and speak up. In Europe it’s common for people to linger over their meal and communicate with each other. This practice not only fosters deeper relationships, but there are also health benefits to eating slowly. Because you’re a couple, you should feel comfortable enough to ask him to slow down so your conversation can flow more easily.

Together, we can best serve those who served,” Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs Commissioner Clyde Marsh said. “Some of the things that helped Alabama earn this state best practices award was our reduction of veterans’ unemployment to below 4 percent, providing tax incentives for companies hiring Iraq and Afghanistan veterans as well as establishing veterans’ treatment courts. With assistance from the Governor’s Office and website committee, an AlaVetNet website was created to connect veterans with resources and services at a one stop-shop location that is user friendly. This program is unique across the nation and was highlighted for other states to follow.” The Alabama Executive Veterans Network (AlaVetNet) was established in December 2013 by Governor Bentley’s Executive Order 42.

We’re looking at great participation and it would be a great day for everyone to buy some items, shop around and be social. I think the community needs days like this for the community to get out the house and explore a little bit,” Goggins said. The partnering organization, SFAC, is a local nonprofit organization that frequently fundraises to sustain a disaster relief fund and provide small scholarship opportunities for recent high school graduates. “We do things in the community like if someone’s house burns down, some-
one is sick, we’ll give them a monetary donation or go and buy groceries or something to give to them,” said Valarie Oliver president of SFAC. Oliver said SFAC also gives back through back to school programs, benefit fundraisers like cancer walks, and all proceeds from events are distributed back to local agencies.

“We would still have to record the contracts,” Archer said. “If we are going to do that, I’d just as soon it stay like it is. I know some have had some issues, but we haven’t. With that said, whatever we are asked to do, we will educate ourselves and do what is asked and handle things appropriately.” Small government conservatives and libertarians argue that the state’s role in marriage should be limited to the enforcement of contract. “Licenses are used as a way to stop people from doing things,” said Michael Boldin of the Tenth Amendment Center. “My personal relationship should not be subject to government permission.” The proposed law would maintain a few state requirements governing marriage. Minors between the ages of 16 and 18 would have to obtain parental permission before marrying, the state would not record a marriage if either party was already married, and the par-
ties could not be related by blood or adoption as already stipulated in state law. Civil or religious ceremonies would have no legal effect upon the validity of the marriage. The state would only recognize the legal contract signed by the two parties entering into the marriage. When he introduced a similar bill last year, Albritton told the Associated Press his intent was to remove the state from an issue it should have never involved itself with in the first place. “When you invite the state into those matters of personal or religious import, it creates difficulties,” he said. “Early 20th century, if you go back and look and try to find marriage licenses for your grandparents or great grandparents, you won’t find it. What you will find instead is where people have come in and recorded when a marriage has occurred.”

“Where others saw chaos and destruction of the property, our founders saw something different,” Simpson said. “They saw a plan for structure and beauty.” Simpson explained that the group had been praying about finding a place to start something. “The moment they walked on the property they began to see it,” Simpson said. “They took on the property in Nov. 2011.” Simpson explained that the property needed restoration much like people do. “We had a pile of trees and not much else,” Simpson said. “From there the property was cleared. Just like we want to do with others, we had restored the 22 acres there.” From there Simpson said the group started the farm, planting blackberries, blueberries and other fruit. And just like they restored the property they hope to be able to restore people. New Water Farms does not just operate off of donations, they sell much of what they grow on the property. Simpson says that they are teaching others with
the property that no matter what you have come from, you can change your future. Simpson said that they are adding a community supported agriculture program this year. “That will more than quadruple our farming operation,” Simpson said. “We are going to limit the shares this year.” Simpson explained that New Water Farms also helps teach trades like woodworking, metal work and glassblowing while changing culture through apprenticeship. Simpson even told how he came to New Water Farms explaining that he had degrees in accounting, art and divinity. “The board came to me last year and said they were looking for someone with business sense, art skills and with the spiritual,” Simpson said. “Who would have thought I would find a job using all those skills. It has been a blast since I started. It is not a bad place for an artist…kind of inspiring. “I have a weird brain and hopefully I am putting it to good use.”

Do you have any praise or concerns regarding our country’s leadership or current administration? Do you have thoughts on how Tallapoosa County can attract more new businesses and industry that will provide jobs for our residents?

Daylight savings time and eternity
his weekend we observe that phenomena known as Daylight Savings Time. This is where we convince ourselves that taking an hour off one end of the day and adding it to the other end makes the day longer. Forget the laws of nature and the physical universe because the government says this really happens. Oh well, my wife loves it because she gets her Daylight Savings Time decorations out for the occasion. That child just needs an excuse to decorate. Could you imagine this happening in ancient times? Think of the guys that built the Stonehenge in England. All those massive stones set in place to calculate the time and seasons and then some priest comes up with the idea of DST. I would love to have heard his sermon telling all the folks they had to move the big rocks around every six months so they could gain an hour of daylight. I think he is buried under one of the larger boulder on the outer ring. By the Middle Ages some science professor rediscovers the idea and proposes it to the world. Now everyone is scrambling to add sand to their hourglasses or rearranging their sundials. I can only imagine what some of the early clock makers of that period thought, espe-

Time for balanced approach to ‘climate change hype’
D
emocrats, the selfproclaimed “party for the middle class,” raise the middle-class cost of living by raising energy prices with their regulatory meddling. Regulations cost consumers $1.8 trillion per year, which means higher bills for utilities, gas and transportation for the average person. Another example of the cost of environmental hysteria was revealed this week. Southern Company was forced to build a “clean coal” plant by Obama and his hordes of regulatory henchmen—probably based on a few theories EPA bureaucrats had absorbed in their “You and the Environment 101” class at NYU. In 2010 the plant’s estimated cost was $3 billion. Because of government demands, the price tag for the Mississippi plant now stands at 7.1 billion. Oh – and it’s not workable. A comparable natural gas plant would have cost $700 mil, one-tenth the cost. It gets better. Like other theories that government dolts came up with (as in the Solyndra debacle, which cost tax payers at least $500 million), the cost of this harebrained Southern Company scheme will be passed on to Southern customers — to the tune of $4.2 billion. You see, since the government regulates utility companies, it allows utilities to pass on to their customers the costs of their stupid ideas: one of the many hidden costs of out-of-control regulation. The left shames people into blindly accepting climate change and calls anyone like me who questions it a “denier,” or a “flat earther.” Never mind that the science was “settled” that the earth was flat for centuries. I’m not certain about global

But he doesn’t do it alone. “I’m only one person and this James Beard Award is not on me, it’s on the staff that we have here, because I can’t do it without them,” he said. “I can’t feed 250-300 people on a Friday and Saturday night in the middle of summer by myself.” McDaniel developed his culinary chops as sous chef for Chris Hastings of Birmingham’s Hot and Hot Fish Club.

Gov. Robert Bentley, Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson, Sen. Rusty Glover (R-Mobile County) and Carolyn Feltus (chairwoman of the Mobile Bicentennial Launch Committee) signing 1818 Alabama map in front of the Capitol at the bicentennial press conference.
Details of Alabama’s 3-year bicentennial celebration announced STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
Gov. Robert Bentley announced Friday that a Capitol Bicentennial Park will be constructed as part of the state’s three-year bicentennial birthday commemoration. The area facing the Capitol, between the Attorney General’s and the Lurleen Wallace office buildings, will become the park and will feature bas-relief sculptures telling the history of Alabama. “As we approach Alabama’s 200th birthday it is time to look back over our state’s rich history and see how each event has molded our future. This Bicentennial Capitol Park will serve as a unique history book commemorating our state’s history,” Governor Bentley said. “The celebrations planned over the next three years will educate, celebrate and honor those who have fought so hard to improve the legacy of our great state.”
The park will create a walking space to welcome visitors to the Capitol and provide an educational Alabama History Walk. It was also announced that the state’s official bicentennial celebration will be launched May 5 in Mobile. The launch ceremony at 5:30 p.m. in Cooper Riverside Park will be followed by a downtown celebration that includes open admission to many of the city’s historic sites. The events, which are all open to the public, will conclude with fireworks. Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson said there were two reasons Mobile is a perfect city to begin the celebration of Alabama’s history. “Mobile is Alabama’s oldest city. It was founded in 1702 so we have more than 100 years on the rest of the state,” Stimpson said. “We’ve got the history, but we also have an amazing here-and-now. You all will know that Mardi Gras took over Mobile this week. That’s just one reason we’re called Mobile:
The City Born to Celebrate!” Some of the other programs and initiatives include:
the Alabama Civil Rights Trail into the U.S. Civil Rights Trail to cross promote our major landmarks with others in Atlanta, Memphis, Washington, Little Rock, Jackson and other cities.

The Wetumpka Herald
PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your creativity soars as the weekend approaches. You’ll Änd answers, make surprising news and willingly handle that which you normally don’t want to go near. You are high energy and nearly unstoppable. Tonight: Know when to call it a night rather than stay out too late. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be involved with a domestic matter and need to stay on top of an emerging issue. Your energy peaks during the day, though you relax more in the afternoon. You’ll make or tweak plans to make this weekend more rewarding. Tonight: Play the night away. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Make calls in the morning, even if you feel that you’d rather wait until you have more time to chat. Some of what you hear allows you to rearrange your weekend appropriately. A partner could be sassy and diɉcult. Be more in touch with your anger. Tonight: Invite friends over. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Deal with a Änancial matter immediately, before a key associate comes forward with a request. You will be more relaxed than you normally would be in a business or personal meeting. The pace of the day becomes more intense than it has been in a while. Tonight: All fun! TGIF. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be more present in the moment. You could be surprised by what is happening around you. Focus on what is important to you. Take a stand with a friend. You know what you want and what is important to you. Others might not get how serious you are. Tonight: Out late. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Zero in on a friendship and assess what is important. You might discover that you feel much better as the day goes on. It is not surprising that you feel more energized, especially since the weekend is almost here. Do not get mired in a power play. Tonight: All smiles.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) The morning opens up a special opportunity. Don’t let an existing matter in your life stop you from going for it. You need to go for what you want; otherwise, you’ll be dissatisÄed and unpleasant to be around. A partner or close associate could be quite irritated. Tonight: Vanish. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Zero in on what is happening in your immediate circle. You’ll see people approaching the weekend with many diɈerent attitudes. Ask yourself why you are observing others so closely. A Änancial matter draws you in; handle it ASAP. Tonight: The world is your oyster. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) With so many demands coming forward, you might feel a bit down. Your ability to understand someone who is carrying a lot of responsibility emerges. By pulling back and imagining what others feel like, you will understand more. Tonight: Go out for a little while. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Work with one individual at a time. You will be far more eɈective as a result. Don’t be late for an afternoon meeting. You could have a lot on your mind and Änd it diɉcult to focus. A loved one might invite you along to enjoy a favorite pastime. Tonight: Happiest at home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others are likely to make the Ärst move. You could get weighed down by the details of a project or conversation. Remain responsive to a key person in your life, but don’t turn away from your many friends in the process. Tonight: Happiest with one person rather than a group. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You have a lot to accomplish today. You would be best served by Änishing your to-dos rather than getting tied up in conversation after conversation. Express your anger and/or frustration at an evolving situation. Tonight: Let someone else make the Ärst move.

Wildcats defeat Sylacauga BRHS varsity baseball team gets a 17-1 win over the Aggies at home By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor
To say the Benjamin Russell varsity baseball team had a great day in front of the home crowd Thursday is quite an understatement, as it just took the Wildcats five innings to carve out a 17-1 win over Sylacauga. Benjamin Russell secured the win from the start as the Wildcats scored nine runs in the first inning. “We got off to a good start,” said Wildcats head coach Richy Brooks. “We’ve been working really hard on coming out with good swings, and we did. After the ball started getting in the right place, we started hitting hard. “It was a great start,” he added. “Anytime you jump out with nine runs, it’s tough for the other team to come back.” Those came thanks to a double by senior Cameron Caldwell and singles by freshman Brett Pitts, senior Darius Jackson, sophomore Brock Elliott and sophomore Huell Lumpkin. Let’s not forget the highlight of the inning, which came from an RBI right-field homerun from senior Timmy Lawson, which also sent junior Bradley Stewart home from first base. “He got it up and over the right field,” Brooks said. “That’s where his power is, hitting over right field.” The Aggies struggled the entire game with a singular

run in the second inning. The Wildcats added to their lead throughout the contest, earning a run in the second and third innings. They topped the show off with six final runs in the fourth. Pitching two innings of the game for the Wildcats, Elliott earned the win for BRHS. He had one strikeout and gave up one run, two hits and a walk. “We had star pitching and pretty good defense,”
Brooks said. Lawson led the Wildcats at bat by going three for three. In addition to his firstinning homer, he had an RBI triple in the third and a single. Lawson credits Brooks with helping him develop the ability to make the most of his time on the plate. “He’s thrown a lot of balls, helping me over the summer and throughout the season for my hitting and it’s showing,” he said. “With my hitting and the way I’m in the ball, I’m
in the ball really well. I credit coach Brooks tremendously for that.” Ben Russell racked up a total of 18 hits Thursday with multiple hits also coming from Elliott, Pitts and junior Bradley Stewart. Thursday’s win brings the Wildcats’ overall season record to 10-2. Benjamin Russell plays at home again Saturday as the Wildcats host Beauregard at 11 a.m. and Cleburne County at 3 p.m.
SPRING SPORTS ROUNDUP

The Benjamin Russell varsity boys golf team emerged victorious in Wednesday’s tri-match against Chilton County, 159-165, and Tallassee, who did not bring enough players to bring a team score. BRHS junior Dylan Moncus led the Wildcats with a 38. He had help from junior Sawyer Scott with a 39. Freshman Sawyer Parks and junior Kylee Reeder each had 41, while freshman Matthew Cush and senior Hal Coker both had 42. The Lady Wildcats did not fare as well, losing by one stroke. Playing in the varsity girls tri-match were BRHS junior Logan Johnson, sophomores Karlie Royster, Hannah Henderson and Keegan Wendling, and freshmen Findley Radney and Bea Graves. BRHS golf coach Wes Tate was pleased with what he saw on the fairway Wednesday. “The teams competed hard and am Cliff Williams / The Outlook proud of how they played,” he said.
