Jacksons Gap looks into potential
new park Tables possible ‘Gap version of Santuck’ By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
The Jacksons Gap City Council is looking at using property owned by the town to create the “Gap version of Santuck” and maybe purchasing property to create a new city hall and park. The council also tabled a possible solution to overtime in the police department at Tuesday’s meeting. “I have just been thinking about expanding the town,” Council member Dana Ford said. “We need to think about getting something bigger.” Mayor Jeff Walker said the council had been looking at the old radio station last year. Council member Heather Glenn said she had toured the property and saw potential in it. “We could do some stuff with that 11 acres,” Glenn said. “We could have a park for the community.

Suit filed asking EPA to address Tallapoosa County landfill By KEITH RUSHING Earth Justice
Submitted / The Outlook
A nonprofit group filed a suit asking the federal government to force the EPA to address complaints from residents near a Tallapoosa County landfil.
MONTGOMERY – An Alabama community is taking the Environmental Protection Agency to task for not addressing civilrights complaints related to environmental hazards at a Tallapoosa County landfill. Five nonprofit organizations filed a motion in federal court this week to force the EPA to act on cases involving pollution in communities of color that the groups contend have been neglected for
more than a decade. One is a complaint against the Stone’s Throw Landfill near Tallassee in Tallapoosa County. The Ashurst Bar/Smith Community Organization is among the plaintiffs. Its chair, Ron Smith, said the landfill places an unfair burden on a community where some families have owned land for more than a century. “Here, if you really look at a map, it looks like the county and the state got together and found out where there was a black community that was economically chal-

Dadeville council rezones property to build new DHR By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
The Dadeville City Council rezoned a piece of property to allow the construction of a new building for the Department of Human Resources Tuesday night. “We are looking forward to have a new location for DHR here in Dadeville,” Mayor Wayne Smith said. “We are glad they are going to stay here in Dadeville.” The move came after only one public hearing to hear any opposition. “We waived the second public

hearing on the zoning change as no one has come out in opposition to the change so we can help expedite the process.” Smith said he was proud of how city employees are helping support the community. “The United Way’s Sharon Fuller and I visited with city employees about the Fair Share program,” Smith said. “I am very proud of our employees. I have to commend them on a job well done.” The council also talked about residents burning in the city limits. “We are reviewing the burn ordinance,” Smith said. “Basically it See DADEVILLE • Page 3

DEAR ABBY: I have an issue with my father and don’t know where to turn. Dad is in his early 80s and -- aside from poor eyesight -- he’s in good health. I’m concerned because he has developed an unusual habit. He likes to look through the dumpsters behind the grocery store. Initially he told me it was to get old produce for compost in his garden. But I have learned that he eats some of the things he finds. I have tried telling him this is dangerous. He could cut himself digging through the trash or get food poisoning. He refuses to listen and insists that what he is doing is safe. (He is NOT forced to do this out of economic necessity. He has enough money to buy groceries.) The situation has become critical because he is now planning to cook something he found in the dumpster for a family gathering. I told him not to do it. If he does prepare food from the trash, I told him he must let people know where it came from, so they can make an informed decision about whether to eat it.

DEAR ABBY Advice
Abby, please help. -- GROSSED OUT DEAR GROSSED OUT: If you can’t convince your father to disclose to relatives that the food he’s serving may have come from a dumpster, YOU should alert them to that possibility. P.S. A worldwide trend I heard about recently is something called “freeganism.” (The term is derived from a cross between “free” and “vegan.”) Freegans “rescue” food from behind markets to share among themselves to combat food waste, and in Paris, France, there’s even a restaurant that serves food procured this way for a reduced fee. Caveat emptor: People who consume this food should be aware that the food may be past its nutritional peak, and they

FIRMLY ROOTED IN LAKE MARTIN
DEAR ABBY: My 9-year-old daughter has several friends whom we love and who are good buddies for her. However, the rules in their homes are different from those at ours. One friend in particular, “Sarah,” eats a lot of junk food and watches more TV than we allow. When my daughter asks why she can’t have chips and ice cream after school, or why we watch movies only on weekends, I remind her that good food and exercise make her healthy, and with less TV she does better in school. I’m not interested in critiquing Sarah or her family, who are lovely people we really like. However, I do want to make the connection between unhealthy lifestyle choices and possible consequences because this is a subject we’ll keep revisiting as my daughter grows up. I have been trying to say things like, “Everyone makes their own decisions. This is why we do it this way,” but at
9, my daughter sees things as pretty black or white. If our way is right, then their way must be wrong. I’m totally failing at subtlety. Is there a better approach that I could take to talking about this without invoking comparisons? -- LIFESTYLE CHOICES IN SOUTH DAKOTA DEAR LIFESTYLE CHOICES: Do not attempt to debate this with your 9-yearold. If your daughter argues with you about your parenting style, tell her that different families have different standards and that you are doing what you think is right for yours. Period. If she needs more of an explanation, then fall back on the message you have been sending her, and in time she will understand.

“We have worked very hard to think ahead of anything that could possibly need to be handled so that it is done before the paving contractor is on the site. “That is what you have been seeing with sewer crews and others in the area. Unless something breaks, we think we have taken care of most of the routine stuff in advance of Monday’s work starting.” Brewer said that just as important was letting residents and businesses know of the start date and the scope of the work. This is not just paving work on Lee Street. The pavement from near Highway 280 at Goo Goo Car Wash, all the way to the Fifth Street railroad cross over will be taken down to the base. A new base will be built and then new asphalt will be built on top of that to make sure there is a smooth stable road. Brewer said that in essence it will be an entirely new road and that kind of work takes some time. So patience and cooperation is key. “We really have been working to let folks know to avoid that area if at all possible,” Brewer said. “They are going to work as quickly as possible, but it is going to be slow going there for quite some time. So if at all possible, take an alternate route, unless you need to visit a business in that area. There will be delays, so allow a little extra time if you can’t take another way to get where you are going.” Because of where the work is being done, Elkahatchee Street to Central Boulevard in the former Russell Complex may be the best alternative. That will lead motorists to Highway 280 without running into construction. In addition to the work on Lee Street, Washington Street will also be paved and several other smaller projects are planned. “We know it’s not ideal to have multiple projects at the same time,” Brewer said. “But with the grant

requires a burn permit through the fire department, has to be at least 500 feet from any residence, resident must be present when burning and in daylight hours.” Smith wants to remind residents to be courteous when burning and be aware of surroundings. “Watch the wind,” Smith said. “If it is blowing towards your neighbors, don’t burn. Also beware that despite all the rain it’s still a little dry and here in March it’s windy.”
Smith said the council is still discussing additional paving on Lafayette Street near North Loop and on Tallassee Street between Lafayette Street and the courthouse. He also said that council member Dick Harrelson was still looking into and getting quotes on striping of city streets. The Dadeville Council also: • approved minutes from the last meeting. • learned that construction of sidewalks has started on the
Lafayette Street ATRIP project and that paving should begin soon. • approved an ordinance to allow the city to help with family insurance coverage passed at the last meeting. • approved recreation center rentals. The next meeting of the Dadeville City Council is March 28 at 6 p.m. with a pre-council meeting starting at 5:30 p.m.
Jacksons Gap could have places for the community to help raise morale. It would be a good investment and have a lot more room…We need to condsider it. “It goes from Main Street over to the VFW Parkway. It is a very nice piece of property. Chief (B.C. Cooper) has already said he would volunteer his time to clear off the land. We could make something like the Imagination Station at Dadeville and Alexander City for the local kids to go to.” Other council members were concerned about how long the building had sat vacant. “It doesn’t smell musky,” Glenn said. “The roof is in good shape.” Council member Brady Crocker wants to see some movement on land currently by the town. “Is there a way we can put up a sign on that land on 280 saying commercial property for sale or lease?” Crocker asked. Glenn saw other uses for the property. “In the mean time, would y’all be interested in clearing part of it off and having the Gap version of Santuck?” Glenn asked. “I have talked to several people to get feed back and there are people interested.” Walker said that the council had talked about it before but said that part of the 28 acres would have to be cleared and leveled and bathrooms installed. The council tabled the idea waiting to get more information and Walker said he would get quotes on signs advertising the property for sale or lease. Council members Glenn and Ford had just returned from a

workshop. Glenn suggested putting Jacksons Gap Police Chief B.C. Cooper on salary from what she learned at the workshop. The issue was tabled until town attorney Robin Kelley could be consulted. Walker said a special meeting could be called to take up the matter. According to minutes from its Feb. 2013 meeting, the Jacksons Gap City Council set Copper’s salary at $51,000. At the same meeting the town clerk’s salary was set at $36,000. Council member Troy Cruz wanted to thank town employees for their service. “I want to thank the employees from all that they do,” Cruz said. “I especially want to thank Chief Cooper and Town Clerk Kathleen Thomas for all that they do.” Walker explained that RDS was auditing sales
tax collection for the town and were working to see if they could collect from others. “They are working on it and it is still in progress,” Walker said. “It includes Walls and the internet like Amazon and Marina. Dollar General is about half way to the Alex City jurisdiction. RDS is working on it for us.” Walker says they are in the Jacksons Gap jurisdiction. The council decided instead of giving the Jackson Gap Volunteer Fire Department the $6,000 it budgeted for them by way of check, that the town would pay the bills of the department through the town. The Jacksons Gap Council also approved minutes from the last meeting. They also approved payment of the bills but Council member CarlPritchard questioned why the payroll
was not included in the bills. Town Clerk Kathleen Thomas responded that it is not yet know because part time employees’ hours and overtime for the month are not finalized. In the payment of bills was an upcoming workshop for the fire department on ISO ratings paperwork. Pritchard inquired about it. “The fire department is one of the most important and positive things we have,” Pritchard said. After little discussion on the matter, the council approved payment of the bills stating that the workshop would allow the ISO paperwork to be done by the department thus saving money over having to contract it out. The next meeting of the Jacksons Gap Council is April 11 at 6:30 p.m.

Patience is key W to roadwork survival
U
nless you have been under a rock the last few weeks, you have been warned that some extensive road construction is coming to Alexander City beginning next Monday. An Alabama Department of Transportation project that will be handled by Gary Ingram Paving will feature grinding streets all the way down to the dirt in some cases. Then paving will start on Lee and Washington streets in addition to a few others. Much of this work is paid for by grant money, so it is a great deal for the city. Construction means you need to drive with a little bit of extra caution and with a sharp eye out for construction zones. In some cases, you might need to plan for a little extra time to get to where you’re going as flaggers hold you at bay. We know you’re in a hurry. We know nobody likes to sit inside a car longer than they have to, waiting for road crews to clear out of the way or for a single lane of traffic to open up. Honking or yelling at flaggers or the car ahead of you isn’t productive. It doesn’t even help to make snooty comments to road workers as you slowly drive by. Middle-fingered salutes won’t help a thing. No matter who you talk to, most will rank roads as one of the biggest needs in our area. Now that they are being addressed, why not take a deep breath and rest assured in knowing that smoother driving is ahead. You can do your part to ease the tension. You can plan to avoid areas you know are in the construction zone. Take alternate routes and there are plenty of them in Alexander City. That will help in two ways. You will reduce the traffic and you won’t experience the frustration of delays. If you can’t avoid work zones, remember to plan some extra time for travel. If you have to drive through a paving zone, you need to slow down – as the law requires – and show a little kindness to the souls who are working in those zones. They are out there on the hot Alabama asphalt working to make your daily ride much smoother.

Life is all about time
hen I was a teenager, I had the good fortune of spending significant time with Fred C. Maples, the Minister of Music at our church. Fred was 52 years older than me. In the 1940’s and 50’s, he had been a very famous gospel singer. His group, the Harmoneers recorded on RCA Victor and Fred was posthumously inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2003. As a freshman, during summer break, I would go to Fred’s office and sit for hours listening to him talk about gospel music and his life as a performer. He was a hero to me. Because he sensed I had the stage in my future, he more than once told me this rule to follow. “Ray,” he would say, “Always give people back a little time. “Most people take what they are given plus a little more.

Defense (DoD) to study arthritis prevention, treatment and cures. This is a public health crisis that must be addressed by creating a stand-alone arthritis research program at the DoD. The money’s already there: The DoD operates Congressionally Dedicated Medical Research Programs for more than 20 diseases, many of which are not specific to military service. Meanwhile, arthritis competes with 30 other medical topics in a general research budget, so funding is not guaranteed. Congress has the power to set aside $20 million of that existing budget for arthritis research. This research
can help us understand how to prevent the injuries that lead to arthritis, reduce the health costs associated with life-long medical care, and unlock new treatments and cures for all Americans living with arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. It is past time to make this a priority. Our service members living with arthritis have answered the call to serve their country. Now it’s time for Congress to ensure their sacrifices are not forgotten. Christopher Adams MD, FACP, FACR Opelika

Dear Editor, Members of our Armed Forces sacrifice a lot for their country, including their health. With help from Congress, we can reduce the physical, financial and societal toll of one of the main enemies of our fighting troops and the leading cause of disability for those who serve in our military: Arthritis. Arthritis is rampant in our military, affecting one in three veterans. It is the second leading cause of medical discharge from the U.S. Army, second only to battlefield wounds. Yet despite epidemic-level rates, there is no dedicated research budget at the Department of

Dear Editor, The movie “Hidden Figures” was an outstanding masterpiece brought to the surface about those courageous women at NASA that worked so hard to prove themselves. They were very smart and overly qualified for every task but were denied for so long. If it had ran like it should have without barriers in the way those women Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson would have put a man in space long before they did. It was their brain power that lead the way. That has always been the problem on every job. Black women study real hard to compete in a world with men and still fall short.
These women proved themselves worthy regardless of being kept in the dark. When they got their chance they lead and Katherine brought the rest of them in. Katherine was very good at the numbers and calculated the trajectory of Alan Shepard’s 1961 suborbital flight, the first manned U.S. Space Mission. John Glenn wouldn’t fly unless Katherine checked the math. How awesome was that to have these people’s lives in your hands before launch into space? I’m glad that Taraji P. Henderson and her crew members brought this masterpiece to life. Because it shined the light on back there in the 50s
and where we are today, 2107 nothing has changed where women’s are concerned regardless how educated you are. You are not treated as equal to man and that is the sad part about this movie. It’s suppose to have been what it use to be like but sorry to say this is where we are still today as a country. NASA would have moved on to bigger and better things. They will keep making history. They learn from this past. Katherine went to become an expert in the Fortran computer language and became the first black woman to be a supervisor at NASA. Arlean Wyckoff Alexander City

Foy reappointed to the Alabama Community College System board of trustees STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
MONTGOMERY – Susan Foy has been reappointed to the Alabama Community College System board of trustees. The Alabama Senate confirmed Foy with a 31-0 vote for a second term ending in 2021.
Foy, who represents District 3, serves as the Director of Marketing for Russell Medical in Alexander City. Prior to serving in this position, she served as President and CEO of the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce. Mrs. Foy currently serves on the Business Council of Alabama’s Executive Board, Alexander City Industrial Development Authority, and
Government Affairs Committee of the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a focus in Marketing from the University of Alabama. “Susan Foy is a committed public servant who is passionate about public education and the development of a skilled workforce to support Alabama’s
growth,” said Jimmy H. Baker, acting chancellor of the Alabama Community College System. “The people of Alabama are lucky to have her helping to steer the future of Alabama’s community colleges.”

Winter makes a return appearance Winter made a return to Alexander City as an overnight low of 26 degrees produced ice on the fountain at the corner of Madison and Tallapoosa streets in Alexander City Wednesday morning. It looks like the area will have one more day of sub-freezing temps before daytime highs return to the 70s. Resident Sallie Chapman caught these images of plants at her home, top right, and the home of Dana Lett, below right, covered to protect them from the frigid temperatures.

Washington Legislative Conference energizes Alabama farmers STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
Morale was high as nearly 140 Alabama farmers, including Camp Hill’s Rod Havens, returned from the nation’s capital March 7-10, buoyed by promises of regulatory reform and increased interest in agricultural issues. The visit starkly contrasted trips during the previous administration, said Alabama Farmers Federation President Jimmy Parnell. “Being in D.C. confirmed my belief that agriculture will experience real change under the Trump administration,” Parnell said. “We’ve seen this with his order to review the Waters of the U.S. rule and look forward to other improvements over the next few years.” Speakers during the 2017 Washington Legislative Conference continually hit home the importance of immigration and regulatory reform, trade, biotechnology and the farm bill. During briefings March 8, U.S. House Agriculture Committee Chairman Rep. Mike Conaway (R-Texas) encouraged farmers to share ideas about the upcoming farm bill. “The beauty of doing farm bills every five years is you get to address the things you didn’t get right,” Conaway said. “We’re going to get this bill done, and we’re going to get it done on time.”
Farmers also heard from Special Assistant to the President and Director of White House Messaging Strategy Cliff Sims, who founded Yellowhammer News, and American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) Public Policy Executive Director Dale Moore. This was David Lee’s first trip to Washington, D.C., and the Lowndes County Farmers Federation president said visiting with Alabama’s delegation encouraged him. “I’ve always heard to ‘call your senator,’ but never felt like I was able to communicate with leaders in our nation’s capital,” Lee said. “Now that I’ve met our leaders and many staffers, I feel they are more approachable to me and ready to hear my local needs.” During the Congressional barbecue March 8, AFBF President Zippy Duvall advised farmers to establish relationships with Congressional leadership. “You have to come and be seen,” said Duvall, a Georgia farmer. “Those who show up are the ones who make a difference. It’s so important for farmers to look their congressmen and senators in the eye and say, ‘This is important to me, my family and my community.’” Attendees met with Alabama’s U.S. representatives during Congressional breakfasts Thursday, followed by meetings with U.S. Sens. Richard Shelby and Luther Strange, who serves on the Senate Agriculture Committee.
Submitted / The Outlook
Alabama Farmers Federation members were in Washington, D.C., March 7-10 to meet with Alabama’s U.S. Senators and Representatives where they discussed immigration and regulatory reform, biotechnology, the Endangered Species Act and the upcoming farm bill. Tallapoosa County’s Rod Havens of Camp Hill, left, was among members who had breakfast with Congressman Mike Rogers.

forthright with someone you work with. Your strong suit is not diplomacy, so be sure to touch base with a friend or loved one who won’t hesitate to give you the lay of the land. Tonight: A must appearance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Stay on your chosen path, and you will Änd out a lot about those around you. Even if others indicate that they are on the same path, their actions might reveal a diɈerent story. You can count on feeling very diɈerently about a key person in your life. Tonight: Visit a loved one. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Pace yourself, and head in a new direction. You will see events unfurl in a unique way. How you deal with a controlling person who aɈects your life in multiple ways is important. You cannot avoid a conversation, no matter how much you might want to. Tonight: As you like it. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your creativity emerges after a long discussion with someone who has a lot of interesting ideas. As a result, you are likely to be more dynamic when approaching diɈerent situations or when coming up with solutions. Stay more upbeat. Tonight: Be naughty and nice! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Stay close to home, but be ready for a change of atmosphere. A roommate or close family member is likely to express his or her discomfort in a way that is meaningful and direct. Do not have expectations for how others might react. Tonight: Dinner for two. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Keep a conversation from heading in a direction that you are not comfortable with. You have a unique style that might distract others. Tap into your imagination, and you will Änd an easy resolution. Steer away from controlling people. Tonight: Smile the night away.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be in the mood to deal with taxes and other serious matters. A conversation could be intimidating, but you’ll prove to be on top of your game. Others seek your understanding and caring. Anything can happen when you open up a door. Tonight: Your treat. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You succeed when you are true to your word. You will discover a strong response to this trait, which beneÄts you in many ways. You tend to be secretive, but if you follow through, others will be less concerned about your elusive ways. Tonight: Beam in what you want. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could feel as if you have less going for you than usual. That might be true, or perhaps it’s not, but either way, there is no need to be defensive. You’ll want to take a step back and decide to schedule a few days oɈ just for you. Tonight: Make it an early night. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Zero in on what you want. You might sense what someone else needs, but you can’t be sure unless you ask him or her directly. Being open to others’ feedback is necessary. You seem to be able to know who is on the phone before you even answer it. Tonight: Play it like you mean it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A loved one might be impressed by your strong sense of direction. Consider treating this person to a late lunch and having a heart-to-heart conversation. Over a meal, people tend to relax more. Be sensitive to someone else’s demands. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to respond to a friend’s inquiry. Make sure you speak in a tone that leaves open the possibility of continuing the discussion at a later date. Clearly, many diɈerent ideas can lead to a reasonable resolution. Tonight: Read between the lines with a close loved one.

teachers or small business owners, work for the state, school systems, others are farmers or retirees. Housewives, salesmen and writers also serve as council members. After years of experience on their regular jobs, council members are sworn into office and are asked to conduct the public’s business in accordance with a 12-page open meeting and open records law with just a few hours of training. Shortly after taking office, Council President Tommy Spraggins stepped up on Jan. 9 and offered an apology after an apparent violation of the open meeting law. Council members communicated electronically on a matter that was to be voted on by the council. That apology was followed up by a frank and uncomfortable discussion on job performance of employees serving in appointed positions for the city. It was tough, but Spraggins and the council faced it head on, just as Alabama law requires. At the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce Quarterly Governmental Affairs Luncheon, Spraggins explained the learning curve that council members face. “We had five new city council members and a new mayor so the first thing that we did was we had to get trained a little bit,” Spraggins said. “Before we got started, we went to a required municipal government training session down at the Alabama League of Municipalities. That was an all-day session and we got to meet the people from the league and that was beneficial. “One of the big things they helped
us with was information on legal issues and questions that we have. There are all kinds of legal rules and regulations that maybe in the corporate world you don’t have to follow like you do in the municipal world– like the open meetings law. The open meetings law is something that they certainly discussed down there. Those rules change from time to time, but we are certainly trying to abide by all those.” While there are times where understanding of the law may play a role in failure to comply with open meeting and records standards, there are times when officials just ignore them. Jacksons Gap is a small town that is working to make things happen there. After it was learned that the town had not passed a current budget and was about $70,000 over budget the previous year, The Outlook requested information to sort through the reasons and shed light on the issues. Budgets, expenditures and salaries and the amount paid to employees are recognized as public records under Alabama law. The request was filed on Jan. 26 and as of Wednesday afternoon town officials have not provided the information. While it is illegal to fail to comply with the open meetings law, enforcement of those requirements is left unclear. Short of being cited by law enforcement, it takes filing suit or an ethics complaint to force a town’s hand. Camp Hill fell into that same category at times in the past. A new mayor and some new faces on the council along with the addition of Charles Gillenwaters as town attorney

has broken the logjam and started the flow of requested information. Gillenwaters has been quick to look at requests and instruct employees how to make information available. But he gave a lot of credit to new Camp Hill Mayor Ezell Smith. “I live in Camp Hill and I have a vested interest in this town,” Gillenwaters said. “I have tried to educate and clarify things along the way. But more than me, I think the Mayor Smith has made a big difference. “She has tried very hard to do what’s right and that means being transparent and sharing everything with the council

Mexico. According to Smith, the quality of life is slowly degrading in his area as the community copes with increased truck traffic, dropping home values, vultures and the smell of decaying waste. He added there has never been any baseline monitoring of public health impacts. “And we get reports that there are some problems - premature births, stillbirths, those kind of things going on,” he stated. “Yet we don’t get any kind of support with water quality monitoring or air quality monitoring, or any of those kinds of things.” The landfill was initially approved to serve 19 counties, and the state and county commission recently approved the service area to

include all 67 counties in Alabama, along with three counties in Georgia. In January, the EPA filed a motion asking that the case against it be dismissed. Suzanne Novak, lead attorney on the case with the law firm Earthjustice, thinks the agency put off the complaints until the lawsuit forced its hand. “They dismissed the complaint, but they still did not do what they were supposed to which was rule upon the issues raised in the complaint about the disparate environmental impacts it would have on this community of color,” said Novak. The federal court in San Francisco is expected to hold a hearing on the motion in June.

and the public.” Gillenwaters put the struggles of elected officials in perspective. “You think that local elected officials have trouble understanding what is proper?” Gillenwaters asked. “Even President Donald Trump has a rough time understanding that you just can’t blast it all out there in a tweet and that things have to be done in compliance with the law. In the corporate world you can do that and people will put up with it because they work for you. As an elected official, you work for the people.”

“We are looking forward to having another business in Dadeville,” Smith said. “It goes to show that things are going well in our small town.” Contractors have been busy making final fixes. “Contractors are working to put in all the final pieces,” Smith Cliff Williams / The Outlook said. “Those last logistics are always the ones Area diners will have one more option for their food on the go as Jack’s is set to open its Dadeville location that seem to take the longest. next week.

Leads, followed by meltdowns, a microcosm of Auburn’s season
A
uburn’s men’s basketball season sure ended with a thud, didn’t it? Blowing a six-point lead over Missouri in the first round of the SEC Tournament with 26 seconds remaining in regulation was a microcosm of the season. Auburn twice led Georgia by double digits. There was hope. Both times Auburn lost, thus disappointment. Auburn led Ole Miss by 23 in February. There was hope. Ole Miss came back and won, thus disappointment. So with a possible NIT bid on the line in the SEC Tournament, what did we expect when Auburn led Missouri late? The Tigers finished 18-14, but four of those games could have gone the other way. What if they had? Now we’re looking at 22-10 and you might be choosing today between the Tigers and Arizona on your NCAA bracket. Some demand more of Bruce Pearl, who came to the Plains in 2014 — seemingly riding in town on a chariot as the program’s savior. In three seasons, Pearl is 44-54 overall and 16-38 in the SEC. By comparison, his predecessor Tony Barbee was 49-75 and 18-50. Only two Auburn coaches finished their careers with winning SEC records. One, of course, was Joel Eaves (124-75). Can you guess the second? I’ll tell you later. I read the words “hot seat” and Bruce Pearl in the same sentence the other day and shook my head. I wouldn’t use the word “hot.” Perhaps the “we expected to do better than this seat.” And so did Pearl. Obviously, there are problems on defense and, at times, questionable shot selections on offense. Hickory (Ind.) Coach Norman Dale from “Hoosiers” fame would not approve. However, I’ve lived in the area for 27 years and I’ve never seen such an assemblage of young talent at Auburn. Danjel Purifoy, Aubrey Wiley and Mustapha Heron are building blocks for what appears to be a promising future that should deliver more than 18 wins and hopes for an NIT season. But there will come a time when people grow tired of hope and want results. Also on my mind: • I’ve got to recognize the great job Alabama coach Avery Johnson has done with that program. In two seasons, the former NBA coach and player has gone 37-29 and taken the Tide to the NIT both times. The future looks bright in Tuscaloosa as Johnson inked the top signing class in school history last fall. I would be surprised if Alabama isn’t in the NCAAs next season. Wouldn’t it be cool if somehow the Tide and Tigers meet in a South Regional? • If you haven’t heard, NASCAR stars Kyle Busch and Joey Logano were involved in an altercation following Sunday’s race at Las Vegas. Busch got the bad end of the deal (a bloody scrape on the forehead), probably compliments of a Logano crew member. NASCAR might look down on such juvenile behavior, but also it knows that post-race fights helped put NASCAR on the national map. • The Atlanta Braves will soon move into shiny, new SunTrust Park, where the home opener next month versus the Padres is sold out. Atlanta has improved its roster and folks like Dansby Swanson, Matt Kemp, Ender Inciarte, and Freddie Freeman give the Braves a chance to be somewhat competitive, unlike the past two seasons. However, this rebuilding project is still in the works and tickets to games at SunTrust Park shouldn’t be hard to come by in August. • The second Auburn men’s basketball coach to post a career winning record in SEC games is … Shug Jordan. Look it up. Joe McAdory is communications editor at Auburn University’s Harbert College of Business.

Dadeville defeats Reeltown Tigers get 8-4 win in varsity baseball Battle of Highway 49 By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor
The Dadeville varsity baseball team won Wednesday’s Battle of Highway 49 as the Tigers defeated Reeltown 8-4 at home. “I’m proud of our guys,” Dadeville head coach Kyle Caldwell said. “They came to play today. I don’t know why but they had a little extra today. I guess you do that when you play a rival.” The Tigers came out in full force by scoring three runs in the first inning. The big playmaker of that inning was Dadeville senior Landon Tidwell, who made an RBI homerun that also sent senior Landon Wilson home from third base. “I think he (Reeltown senior Alex Giddens) was pitching pretty good,” Tidwell said. “Then he threw one in there, and I knew it was gone right when I hit it.” Dadeville remained consistent throughout the contest, scoring single runs in the second, third, and fourth innings. Then the Tigers added two final runs in the sixth.
