Start nears for 3 road projects Work on Scott Road bridge, Washington and Lee streets just weeks away By MITCH SNEED Editor
As winter winds down and spring approaches several big road projects are in the initial pre-construction stages. Alexander City Engineer and Public Works Director Gerard Brewer said Tuesday that an Alabama Department of Transportation Project that will replace a bridge on Scott Road, resurfacing of Washington Street and a major overhaul of Lee
Mitch Sneed / The Outlook
This bridge spanning a creek on Scott Road dates back to the 1960s and is scheduled for replacement that could start in April. The project is expected to take from six to nine months.
Street are scheduled to begin over the next month or so. “They are already out doing some of the preliminary site work and staking on all of those projects,” Brewer said. “All three of those projects are pretty extensive, but the good thing is that they appear to be getting an early start. That’s exactly what we had hoped for.” The Scott Road Bridge replacement is an estimated $1.5 million project that will see a bridge that
dates back to the 1960 replaced. The current bridge will be replaced by a much larger culvert and then topped with a mixture that will raise the surface of the road about 14 feet from the level it is currently. Brewer said the idea is to remove part of that large dip that motorists have to navigate currently. “The way it is now that is a considerable slope and it will rattle your dentures when you bottom out,” See ROADS • Page 11

STARS COME OUT FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH Stephens and Radney celebrate in style By MITCH SNEED and CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writers
Students at Stephens and Radney elementary schools celebrated Black History Month with stars and African-American pioneers Tuesday. Both schools held special programs using students to portray prominent blacks in history. It was a time for song, dance and the Radney Wendy Williams Show as fifth- and sixth-grade students showed off weeks worth of research and preparation. Students performed as Wendy Williams and Beyonce interviewing prominent African-Americans who had helped shape our nation. Those who told their stories were gas mask and traffic light inventor Garrett Morgan, gymnast Simone Biles, Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, Olympic sprinter Wilma Rudolph, hair care pioneer Madam CJ Walker and New England Patriots and reading activist Malcolm Mitchell. The Radney Elementary School Singers performed Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror” and “Education is My Brain Power,” while the band played “Hard Rock Blues and “When the Saints Come Marching In.” A special tribute to Whitney Houston was performed by the Regeneration Dance Group.

The doors at the Wellborn Musclecar Museum have been closed for nearly four months, but all that will change Saturday. On Saturday March 3, the museum will hold a grand reopening, showing off some new displays, the return of one of Tim Wellborn’s favorite cars and pay tribute to Love. The museum suffered a big loss last year when longtime curator and Wellborn’s close friend Phillip Love passed away. “Phillip cared about three things in life, his children Brandi and Jeremy, Auburn football and Wellborn Museum,” Wellborn wrote shortly after Love’s death. “Words cannot express my respect and admiration for one of the finest men I have ever met.

Camp Hill tables decision on block party, on-call pay Lake Levels 75Weather 44 By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
The Camp Hill Town Council tabled discussions involving on-call pay for the utility department and the 10th So Phi Block Party to later meetings Monday night. Utility Department Supervisor Robert Shelley expressed his con+
cern over employees not getting paid for on-call status over weekends. “I think you need to consider paying something for employees who are on call,” Shelley said. “I think they need to be paid for four hours whether or not they get called out.” Shelley explained that no one wants to be on call if they are not getting paid.

DEAR ABBY: I have always tried to be a compassionate person. I have experienced a lot of abuse, and I’m sensitive to others who go through it. A man across the street from me has been arrested three times in the last six months for domestic abuse. I rarely see a woman there, so I don’t know if the victim is a woman or a child. I moved into the neighborhood only six months ago. My elderly mother lives here with me. I’m torn about what to do. My heart says I should reach out to the people who live there and make friends with them. My head says stay out of their business because I don’t need the drama. How do we as a society not turn a blind eye to abuse in our neighborhoods and still protect ourselves and loved ones? I don’t want to put my mother or myself in jeopardy, but I don’t want the person/people in that house to think they are alone. -- NO MORE IN TEXAS DEAR NO MORE: While
DEAR ABBY Advice
I applaud you for being so caring, for your own safety, I caution you to proceed very slowly in getting to know these people. Some communities provide anonymous tip lines so citizens can report a crime without endangering themselves or their families. The best thing you can do is to keep your eyes open and if something is happening, call the police and report it. If it involves a child, contact child protective services. DEAR ABBY: My parents and I were always close. However, recently they stole my debit card, my PIN and child support check. They forged my signature and spent the entire check, which was more than $1,000.

I am always lending them money. I have never said no when they needed it. To top it off, they lied to me about the check for an entire month. I only found out when I turned the fraud in to the bank and heard it was my parents who had committed it. Now my account is frozen and I am wiped out. I have two kids and one on the way, and recently I lost my job. My mother keeps trying to make me feel guilty for turning them in and doesn’t understand why I am mad. I am having trouble forgiving them. I am just so angry. Should I forgive them, or do I have the right to be mad? -- FORGIVE OR FORGET IN MICHIGAN DEAR FORGIVE OR FORGET: One of the hallmarks of abusers is that they try to make their victims think the abuse was in some way their own fault. Your mother fully understands why you are angry. You must not allow her to make you feel guilty. Your parents stole from you
and their grandchildren. They appear to have no conscience. Now you know what they are capable of, it is important that you keep your distance from them, or they’ll do it again. DEAR ABBY: Can an atheist be a godparent? -WONDERING IN WISCONSIN DEAR WONDERING: Yes. Today, the word “godparent” does not always have explicitly religious overtones. A godparent can be anyone the parents trust to take care of their child in the event of the parents’ deaths. However, the potential godparents and the child’s parents should discuss this in detail before any decision is made about conferring such an honor and responsibility.

Few Alabama governors can claim a legacy Study Club recalls 50s W and shopping malls e have unbelievable natural resources in Alabama starting with the Tennessee Valley and transcending to the beautiful white sands at Gulf Shores. Many of our natural resources have been exploited over the years. The prime example would be the exploitation of our rich vaults of iron ore discovered in Jefferson County in the early 20th Century. It created the city of Birmingham, the Steel City of the south. U.S. Steel swept in and bought the entire region and used cheap labor in the mines and steel mills and kept poor whites and blacks in poverty wages and shantytowns. They owed their soul to the company store. Finally they organized into labor unions. The United Steel Workers Union Local in Birmingham became the largest in the nation. Alabama also became the most unionized state in the south. The TVA workers and Reynolds Aluminum workers in the Tennessee Valley were all unionized. The tire workers in Gadsden, Opelika, and Tuscaloosa were unionized. The federal workers around Ft. Rucker in the Wiregrass were union. The largest employer in Mobile was the docks. The dockworkers were unionized. When you combine these locales with the steelworkers in Birmingham, we were a pretty unionized state. In the course of our recent history we have been more prudent with our natural resources. The prime example of that would be during the late 1970s when we sold the oil rights in Mobile Bay to Exxon Mobil. We got a fair price and

we put the entire corpus aside and preserved the money into a trust called the Heritage Trust Fund. Governor Fob James deserves credit for this accomplishment. It is the crowning achievement of his two terms as governor. It is quite a legacy. Not all governors leave a legacy. Ole Fob has one. Not as much can be said for our most recent governors. Don Siegelman, Bob Riley, and Robert Bentley cannot point to any accomplishment that will distinguish their time as governor. Jim Folsom Jr., who only served two years as governor, can lay claim to having lured and landed Mercedes, which has been the crucible that has catapulted us into the second leading automaker in the nation. Governor Bentley was given a golden opportunity to garner a place in history with the one-time BP oil spill money. Granted, it was not as much money as the Exxon Mobil oil rights nor did we get as good a settlement as could have been garnered. We will only see $693 million of the $1 billion settlement because we bailed out and sold out to get our money upfront. Compared to Louisiana and Florida, it was not a good settlement. Essentially this one-time windfall will be squandered. The BP money was appropriated in a special session last
September. The legislature spent the entire BP oil settlement proceeds with a compromise bill that divided the money between state debt repayments, roads for Baldwin and Mobile counties and Medicaid. The allocation was $400 million for paying off state debts, $120 million for highway projects in Baldwin and Mobile counties, and a total of $120 million to Medicaid over the next two years. There had been a contentious battle over the funds for Baldwin and Mobile going back to last year’s regular session. Lawmakers from the coastal counties fought diligently for the road money because their counties received the brunt of the 2010 oil spill. Lawmakers from North Alabama felt that the BP settlement should compensate all Alabamians equally. Sen. Arthur Orr (R-Decatur), who chairs the Education Budget Committee in the Senate, led the fight for North Alabama and Sen. Trip Pittman (R-Baldwin), who chairs the Senate General Fund Committee, spearheaded the battle for Baldwin/Mobile. Senators compromised the final day of the special session. The money from BP is spent. The only thing to show from it will be some highway to the beach. They ought to at least name it the BP Expressway. It would be the only legacy from the windfall.

T
he Tuesday Study Club hosted by Mrs. Blanche Warr met Feb. 14 at Willow Point Country Club with 17 members in attendance. President, Molly Chapman, called the meeting to order and Chaplin, Yvonne Crispin, read three poems from high school students in the Red Cloud Indian School in Pine Ridge, South, Dakota. The January minutes were read and approved. Treasurer, Lynn Grimsley, gave her report. Martha Chapman presented the proposed slate of officers for the 2017-2018 year. The new officers will be President, Lee Stimson; 1st Vice President, Mary Lloyd White; 2nd Vice President, Honey Haynes; Corresponding Secretary, Sarah Clegg; Recording Secretary, Martha McClendon; Treasurer, Eleanor Childers; Chaplain, Blanche Warr and Parliamentarian, Molly Chapman. There being no further business, Molly turned the program over to Martha Chapman to continue the Pivotal Decade of the Fifties sharing the story of the First Shopping Mall, Southdale Center, located in Edina, Minn. It was designed by Vienna architect, Victor Gruen, who wanted to bring the vitality of the city center to the suburbs. He created a structure that turned stores inward and provided an inviting climate controlled shopping space. Today many of these malls are dying or abandoned due to changing neighborhoods and buyer shopping habits. The challenge today is how to repurpose these large unique structures into spaces that will once again serve the community in new and useful ways. Martha also showed videos that were informative and entertaining. Molly thanked Martha for her fascinating program and Blanche for the special Valentine’s Day dessert. Blanche asked each member to take a red rose when leaving. The March meeting will be held at the First Presbyterian Church and Edith Blankenship will present the program.

he Alexander City Parks and Recreation 50+Retiree Active Center is getting ready for new seasonal group activities and fun special events. Boxing Bag class sessions will start in April which will be a great substitute for cardiovascular exercises and the class can also be wheelchair accessible. Those that roll need upper body strength and a way to get the heart pumping. For those that have wrist or shoulder issues can join the fun too without punching the bag. Air boxing or shadow boxing is a very effective form of exercise. The most obvious and wide benefit is cardiovascular, keeping up the intensity and using your whole

body takes a lot of energy. Shadow boxing also benefits your neuromuscular conditioning skills. The Queens program will be geared for the single or widowed women. This specific group will offer opportunities to meet others within their age range who hold similar interests. Becoming a widow is often a difficult and disorienting experience. Coping with the changes in socializing, finances and in general living life can be one of the most difficult times in a person’s life. Much of what widowhood is about is redefining
an individual’s identity. The Queens program will be a great opportunity for being with those who understand you best. We have several fun and outgoing couples among our 50+ program, so therefore we are looking forward to the Couples program. All the research on marital satisfaction shows that couples bond more closely when they do new, innovative activities — instead of getting stuck in the same rut they’ve been in for the past 25 or more years. Any kind of new, enjoyable pursuit can make a couple feel younger and more in sync, invigorate their love and live longer. Playing is the core focus for kids, but somehow when we grow up we end up thinking that those
activities are no longer suitable for our big, responsible lives. Most of us can’t see the colorful extent of our inner child. Luckily the modern era somehow guessed that adults secretly want to continue doing kids’ stuff. Hence the upcoming Easter Egg Hunt in April. It’s still fun to find stuff even when your an adult. We’ll be working on creating a group program that will involve being a kid again! Get well soon wishes to Reba McFee and Emma Wilson. Until next time keep a smile on your face and love in your heart.

Life is full of special moments
riday was a special day. I had the honor of giving the closing keynote at the Alabama Conference of Social Work at the Perdido Beach Resort in beautiful Orange Beach, Alabama. My role and goal was to show my appreciation for conference attendees and to send them on their way happy, motivated and inspired to continue to do the great job they do of helping others. I really wasn’t sure what I was going to write about this week, and then it happened—a special moment. I was supposed to go down on Thursday night, since my session started at 10 o’clock in the morning; however, while it would’ve been nice to have been at the beach, I had more important issues that needed my attention. I had someone to take care of, which is exactly what social workers do every day. I left Opelika at 5 o’clock in the morning and I was somewhat tired and sleepy, but every time I even thought about dozing off, I felt as if I was being watched, which got my attention and kept me going. Sure, God is always watching over me, but I really felt like I was being watched. It was almost paranoia. I finally realized that I was being watched by Alexander Shunnarah. That dude was
JODY FULLER Columnist
with me the entire trip. Whether it’s children, the elderly, inmates or veterans, just to name a few, social workers play such a pivotal role in simply making lives better. One of my lifelong friends is a social worker for the VA. He is a combat veteran, so he knows exactly what many of his patients have been through and can relate to them directly. My counselor at the VA in Tuskegee is a social worker. I go see him every two to three weeks, and his counseling has helped me tremendously. He, like me, is a three-time war veteran although my three tours pale in comparison to his. His three tours were in Vietnam. Mine were in Iraq, and I had Facebook on the last two. So, I was aware of how social workers have impacted my life personally but I was in for a very special treat. During my presentation I mentioned my father, who, as many of you know, was blind and passed away when I was eight years old. After
my presentation, as many of the attendees were coming up to shake my hands, hug my neck, and take pictures, one lady politely asked if my dad’s name was Randall. When I said that it was, she told me she was his social worker the last couple of years of his life leading up to his untimely passing. She had nothing but good things to say about him and even mentioned how much he talked about his two boys. At that point, I needed a social worker-or at least a box of Kleenex. She’d even been to the old Fuller home place in Tallapoosa County. We talked for a while, took a photo together, and gave each other a big old hug before parting ways. It sure was a special moment, and one that I never saw coming. Every day isn’t going to be perfect, and every day isn’t going to be great, but every day has the potential for a special moment, so hang in there. Life is good. It’s special. It really is.

How to
Lessons my father could teach President Trump D ear Mr. President, let me take you back to 1979. I don’t know what you were building or doing then, but my father was running for president and the political left and their loyal snipers in the dominant media were shooting at him daily. “Ronald Reagan was an empty suit … a B-grade actor … a dangerous warmonger.” They said if he got his hands on the nuclear codes he was going to start World War III. And if the mullahs in Teheran didn’t release the American hostages, he was going to turn Iran into a parking lot or a glass factory. Mr. President, you have it even tougher with the liberal media today, but at least you can fight back with Twitter and you’ve got friends in talk radio, on Fox and all over the Internet. Not to mention a Republican House and Senate. In 1979, and during my father’s time in office, he was outnumbered and outgunned by liberals in the media and in Congress. The mainstream media still had enormous power in the 1980s and could make or break a politician. It was concentrated in the three liberal broadcast networks and large national liberal papers like the New York Times, Washington Post and the L.A. Times. My father was constantly under attack by liberal pundits and Democrats, Mr. President, but I dare you to try to find a single time when he responded to any of them in the media. Throughout his administration he laughed at his detractors and
MICHAEL REAGAN Columnist
didn’t take their bait. He knew that if Walter Mondale said something about him and he said something back Mondale would say something else and pretty soon he and his campaign would have been off message. And in politics if you’re off message you’re not accomplishing anything. Mr. President, if you want to learn anything from my father, it’s to learn when to shut up. Being president is not like a tennis match – you don’t always have to return serve. You don’t always need to respond to what a John McCain says or quickly decry every piece of “fake news” on Twitter or anywhere else. It does you no good, gives your enemies in the media more ammo to fire at you and keeps the ball in the air. If you say nothing, it’s over. If your staff members say nothing, it’s over. Meanwhile, you can get on with the business of being the president. Another thing my father knew was that instead of always trying to pat yourself on your back for a job well done, sometimes it’s better to allow others to pat you on the back. He also knew when to say nothing and quietly do the right thing. For example, right after he took office in 1981 he gave Air
Force One to Jimmy Carter and allowed Carter to go to West Germany to welcome the Iranian hostages to freedom. My father didn’t hold a press conference to say, “Look at what I’m doing for Jimmy Carter.” He just did it. Another example of something nice he did happened after he left office and traveled to Japan to give some speeches. He was criticized heavily by the dominant media because he was paid between $50,000 and $150,000 per speech, but he didn’t respond or defend himself. He also didn’t point out that the coach seats of the 747 he flew on to Japan were completely filled with the families of service men and women who were stationed in Japan. At no charge my father flew those families to Japan in his plane and flew them home. He didn’t hold a press conference to announce it or pat himself on the back, he just quietly did it. Mr. President, my father’s personality was completely different from yours. But if you want to know more about how he dealt with his enemies, we should spend half a day together — preferably on one of your golf courses. I can’t help you hit your long irons straighter or putt any better, but I know I can tell you some other things that made him such a great president.

First Saturdays at Santuck are already here
C
an you believe we are in March already? Time surely flies when the weather is sunny? Happy Birthday to Cara Milyn Channell who will be 20 March 3 and wishes also to Michael Hampton for March 7. Both are from Alex City. First Saturday is here already this weekend for Santuck and other purveyors of goods. My ‘Nixburg House’ will re-open Friday and Saturday for the first time since last October. In November, I was in England for my Mum’s funeral, then on the first Saturday in December, it poured with rain, too gloomy, and I didn’t open that day. So, come see me, look around the shop and share your news. I’d love to meet you. Please be sure you mark your calendar for the next monthly ‘Chit-Chatters’ ladies group luncheon. We will now meet on the First Thursday of every month. With the next meeting coming around on Thursday, April 6, we will not meet in March, due to this change. The group originated at the Equality United Methodist Church, but is non-denominational. All ladies that enjoy chatting, meeting new friends and group luncheons each month at a different location are cordially invited to join this group. We voted to change the day to the first Thursday as it was conflicting for some members with other obligations. Jackie Dean is the leader in charge of our group and is
ROSIE MORGAN Nixburg/ Equality
welcoming to all. You will enjoy her, so think about joining us next time. The Chit-Chatters enjoyed a fabulous gathering this past Thursday, going to a new place called Bezlo’s Café in Eclectic, which has only been open about a month, and still getting its bearings for crowds. The name “Bezlo’s Café,” according to the owner Mike Squires, came from a Brit, Martin Bezlo, centuries ago who invented the doughnut and was later knighted. Around about the time the The Earl of Sandwich invented the sandwich. I researched and could only confirm through the U.K. Daily Mail newspaper that the doughnut was invented by a Brit., Being found in a recipe book written in the early 1800s, but nothing of Bezlo. Squires has a photograph of Sir Martin in a lovely very old frame in the Café for you to see and will happily share the story about him. Bezlo’s Café is a very different place, with laid-back styling and neatly covered tables in cloths of black. Our server was Joshua and he was excellent. Bezlo’s offers a variety of sandwiches including seafood and pizza with ‘sides’ on the way soon. The Café is directly across from the Public Library
FIRST
in Eclectic. It was a sunny warm day and after we ate, we enjoyed visiting the assortment of little shops in Eclectic. You will too. Those enjoying the Chit-Chatters Luncheon were: Jackie Dean, Benjamin Dean, Betty House, Linda Seitz, Sharon Culberson, Pat Garnett, Bong Koczur, Janice Moses, Edna Martin, Lynda Moseley, Rachel Fuller, Patty Self, Judy Harmon, Martha James, and Rosie Morgan. On the day that Chit-Chatters met, Feb. 23, Jackie Dean was having a big birthday and just a few days before on Feb. 20 was Patty Self’s birthday. Benjamin Dean was happy that he could be with us and have pancakes for lunch. We all look forward to meeting again next month, Thursday, April 6, when we shall be lunching at Oskars in Dadeville. We are guaranteed a delicious
lunch with plenty of choices. So won’t you join us there at 11 a.m. Please don’t be late, since we often have a large group and to be fair, we like to order before the crowds hit for their lunch breaks at noon, when it gets quite full. I just learned that Betty House, one our Chit-Chatter regulars and exceptionally sweet, recently won the Presidential Blue Ribbon award for her painting that was among many artists work from all over Alabama shown at the Kelly Fitzpatrick Memorial Gallery-Wetumpka, in February. Until next week, keep smiling. Rosie Morgan is a community columnist for The Outlook. She is a resident of Nixburg and writes about the events and people of the Equality and Nixburg areas.

And to all of our guests and visitors, we appreciate you being here and your support means so much to all of us here at Radney.” At Stephens, you only had to know your ABC’s to get the message delivered by students. Duke Ellington, Rosa Parks, Jackie Robinson and more figures in African American History made an appearance at Stephens Elementary School’s Black History Program Tuesday thanks to help from students. Students presented figures and ideas from black history in a skit “The ABCs of Black History.” Oprah made an appearance stating her accomplishments of becoming a talk show host, owning her own television network and magazine, while figures of the past came to life like Harriet Tubman to tell the story of the Underground Railroad. Students also sang “Man in the Mirror” and “Freedom Train” while the band played “When the Saints go Marching In” and “Lean on Me.”

could’ve never said thank you enough to him for his dedication and loyalty to my family and the museum. He will be missed by many and especially me.” As a result of Love’s passing, the museum was closed to the public as the Wellborns plotted a new course. But that doesn’t mean that activity stopped. In January Tim and Pam were at Mecum’s Kissimmee auction with 11 cars on the block. They sold eight and bought one to bring back home while they were there. The Wellborns actually bought back the rare 1970 Plymouth AAR Cuda that they had sold just two years ago. Wellborn said he was hoping to get that car back since the day he sold it. “That was always one of my favorites and it was Phillip’s favorite too,” I tried to buy it back, but the owner made it clear it wasn’t for sale. But some things happened and the curator at his museum ironically had a heart attack and died, Many a

much like what happened with Phillip. So he decided to sell it all. I jumped at the chance to get it back home. “I sold it for $145,000 and it cost me $195,000 to get it back. But it was worth it to me.” That car, that was formerly part of the Otis Chandler Collection, and is recognized as the most highly optioned example known to exist, will be on display at the museum Saturday. “It’s been tough, but it’s time to get it back up and open again,” Wellborn said. “We will have a great show Saturday with the Birmingham Mopar Owner’s Club coming back in and they always bring some great cars with them. They are great people and we look forward to having them here and hopefully some local folks will come out and see what we’ve been doing to the place too.” Saturday’s event is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Another year on the AU diamond
T
he month of March has now taken the reigns of 2017 and left February behind to the annals of history. While Punxsutawney Phil assures me that winter has no intention of going quietly, I can already see the harbingers of spring. Oh sure, there are the obligatory signs like flowers blooming and birds singing, but I’m not talking about something as trivial as the majesty of nature. No, I’m referring to truly beautiful sights and sounds like a freshly chalked infield or the aroma of a newly-oiled leather glove. ‘Tis the season to be swinging and I do love this time of year. As the song says, “Put me in coach, I’m ready to play!” The AU softball and baseball seasons are now under way and both teams are off to a good start. Clint Myers began his fourth season as head coach of the Auburn softball program in 2017. He has taken the team to unprecedented success and turned the program into a national contender in a very short amount of time. The Tigers were in the World Series for the first time in school history two years ago and came up one game (and one run) short of a national championship last season. Myers’ latest squad has opened 2017 with a 14-2 record and a No. 2 national ranking despite several key losses from a team that won 58 games (most in school history). In previous years, Auburn relied on one of the most productive and powerful offenses in the country. They may get there as the season progresses, but so far, these girls are not near as prolific at the plate. Then again, SR Kasey Cooper has had an uncharacteristically slow start. She’s one of the best hitters in the country and will inevitably catch fire at some point, so I’m not concerned. The pitching, on the other hand, has been absolutely terrific. Junior Kaylee Carlson and sophomore Makayla Martin have been practically unhittable. Carlson is 8-0 with a 0.63 ERA and Martin is 6-2 with a 0.56 ERA. Freshman Ashlee Swindle is learning the college game and providing much needed quality depth. It’s a long season, but the Tigers appear to be on their now customary path to Oklahoma City. 2017 marks year two for the Auburn baseball program under the leadership of Butch Thompson. The Tigers struggled last season, finishing with a record of 23-33 overall and 8-22 in conference. Of course, that’s what fans have come to expect from this once proud institution in the Loveliest Village. Hal Baird retired in 2000 leaving a program that was a yearly playoff contender with two trips to the World Series in 94 & 97. Since 2000, AU has had five coaches and only managed two winning records in conference (03 and 10) missing the SEC Tournament more often than not. That is a precipitous fall that happened before most even realized it. Thompson gets a pass for 2016, because he had to clean up the mess left by his predecessor. The “experts” have picked the Tigers to finish last in the West in 2017. However, an Auburn team with a lot of new faces is off to its best start in years. The Tigers are 7-1 on the year and appear to have upgraded across the board. Junior Keegan Thompson has been brilliant coming off Tommy John surgery and sophomore Casey Mize has been a dominant No. 2 starter. The offense has been consistent and timely. If that continues and a pitcher or two steps up in the bullpen, Auburn could actually have a pretty good year. You know what, forget I said that… I don’t want to jinx it.

Lady Trojans sweep ASCC Central Alabama Community College softball team wins Tuesday double-header By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor
The sky was cloudy and the temperature was brisk at the Central Alabama Community College softball field Tuesday. But it was all sunshine and smiles for the Lady Trojans as they swept the day’s double-header at home against Alabama Southern Community College. The Lady Trojans took the first game in a shutout with a 12-0 score, which marked a milestone for CACC sophomore pitcher Chelsea Mowery of Childersburg. “It was the 10th straight shutout inning for Mowery,” said Lady Trojans head coach Greg Shivers. CACC continued the day’s winning streak in next game with a final score of 6-3. “It was a great day,” said CACC softball head coach Greg Shivers. “We pitched pretty well. We hit pretty well with 12 in the first, although we left a couple out there in the second game. We had a lot of good things today.” The second contest of the double header held great action on the diamond, including a homer-

un each from CACC sophomore Cheyenne Bryant and freshman Courtney Ray. There was also plenty of teamwork from the Lady Trojans. In the fourth inning, CACC freshman Ashton Fielding of Rockford sent freshman Shatima Smith home from second on a single. Mowery followed that up with a double that sent Fielding home from first. “We just need to find ways to win and when we go all out, we find ways to win,” she said, “and we always hustle.” The Lady Trojans also scored two runs in the second inning and
one each in the first and third. CACC made it tough for ASCC to score points of their own. It was well into the contest before the visiting team did so as ASCC scored their first run in the sixth inning and followed it up with two more in the seventh. CACC sophomore Natalie Johnsey had a great deal to do with holding ASCC at bay. After a three-week absence from playing, she pitched with two strikeouts, giving up a run with just one walk in six and a third innings. “It was good to get her back,” Shivers said. “She pitched the
AHSAA Football Lunch & Learn to feature Jim Harbaugh, Chip Lindsey STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
MONTGOMERY – Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh and Auburn University offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey will be the keynote clinicians at the AHSAA Football Lunch & Learn mini-clinic scheduled for March 10 at the AHSAA Office. “We are very excited to have coach Harbaugh and coach Lindsey addressing our coaches,” said Alvin Briggs, director of the Alabama High School Athletic Directors and Coaches Association. “Coach Harbaugh is one of the top college head coaches in America, and coach Lindsey is one of the one of the brightest offensive coordinators around. Our commitment is to provide the best clinicians possible for our member schools each year.” Hosted, by the AHSADCA, the one-day Lunch & Learn clinic provides professional training and networking opportunities for member high school and middle school coaches. Football is the last in this school year’s series for 11 sports. Basketball, bowling, wrestling and track & field were held in the first semester. Tennis, baseball, soccer and softball mini-clinics were conducted in January with volleyball and golf held earlier this month. Football Lunch & Learn is limited to the first 175 to preregister at www. ahsaa.com. Harbaugh, 107-49-1 as a head coach, became the 20th head football coach at the University of Michigan, in 2014. The Wolverines’ program is currently college football’s winningest program. He served as head coach for the San Francisco 49ers for four years prior to returning to his alma mater. He led the franchise to Super Bowl XLVII in 2012. Harbaugh’s 49ers lost 34-31 to the Baltimore Ravens and his brother, John, in the only matchup of brothers as head coaches in NFL history. Prior to making the jump to the 49ers, Harbaugh established himself as a leader of young men at the college level. He turned around a Stanford program that went 1-11 prior to his arrival. The Cardinal improved each of his four seasons, culminating with a 12-1 campaign and FedEx Orange Bowl victory over Virginia Tech in 2010. Harbaugh
finished his tenure at Stanford with a 29-21 overall record (.580) and 21-15 mark in Pac-10 Conference play. He also was 29-6 as the University of San Diego’ head coach. As a collegiate Harbaugh player, Harbaugh was one of the most efficient passers in NCAA history. In 1985, he led the nation in pass efficiency and finished as the runner-up in 1986. His career pass efficiency rating was the NCAA’s Lindsey top mark for more than 12 years. Harbaugh won the Chicago Tribune Big Ten Most Valuable Player award, earned first team All-America honors and finished third in the balloting for the Heisman Trophy following the 1986 season. Lindsey made his mark in high school football, made the jump to offensive coordinator in college, and then earned an opportunity to call plays at Auburn. Coach Gus Malzahn hired Lindsey earlier this year to replace Rhett Lashlee as Auburn’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Lindsey spent 2016 coordinating the offense and coaching quarterbacks at Arizona State, where the Sun Devils averaged 33.3 points per game. He also served as offensive coordinator at Southern Miss in 2014-15. Lindsey played high school football at Bob Jones High School. He played college football at North Alabama, before transferring to Alabama as a student. He was an assistant coach at five Alabama high schools: Florence, Springville, Sparkman, Deshler and Hoover. His first high school head coaching job was at Colbert Heights in 2005-06 and was head coach at Spain Park in 2011-12. Lindsey, who served on Malzahn’s staff at Auburn in 2013, received his first college opportunity coaching quarterbacks at Troy University in 2010. Lindsey tutored Sun Belt Freshman of the Year Corey Robinson, helping the Trojans win a share of the conference title and a win in the New Orleans Bowl.
first five innings and came back and got the last two outs.” Before Johnsey came back for those final two outs, CACC freshman Taylor Hutto of Alexander City pitched a third of an inning. Although she gave up two runs, the Benjamin Russell grad was glad to get some experience on the mound. “It was a good way to go in,” she said. Tuesday’s wins bring the CACC softball team’s spring season record to 11-9. The Lady Trojans next head to Jeff Davis Thursday for a double-header that starts at 1 p.m.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) A problem in the morning could throw you oɈ your game, at least until the afternoon, when you’re able to regroup. Your creativity and high energy draw in much more of what you want. You might not believe everything that is happening around you. Tonight: All smiles. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Know what is happening behind the scenes, but don’t let on that you are aware of the manipulation and conversations that are going on. Take what you hear with a grain of salt until you are certain you have heard the facts. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could make the impossible happen once you clear up a problem. You might be dealing with a manipulative person; don’t stoop to his or her level. Deal with what seems like an unrealistic idea. A meeting helps you mobilize your energy. Tonight: Where the crowds are. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Others expect a lot from you, and quickly at that. Someone you count on could let you down and upset you. Reach out to a loved one who is an endless source of information. Once you detach, you’ll see a better way to complete what is needed. Tonight: Surrounded by music. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Diɉculties surround a manipulative person in the morning. Once you bypass this situation, you will feel much better. Respond to this person with compassion. You’ll feel appreciated by a partner and fortunate to have certain key friends. Tonight: Detach from the here and now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others will be unusually demanding. They know what they want, and they want it now. You might not be sure which way you should go, but one path will be more lucrative if you have the drive to succeed. Tonight: Weigh the pros and cons of making a dream a reality.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be impatient when dealing with a partner who brings some negativity into your life. Embrace your creativity, and calmly work through these issues. Lady Luck seems to be working with you, though perhaps in strange ways. Tonight: Use your self-discipline. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Whereas some people might not be able to manage the games that one speciÄc person presents, you are a master. You’ll cut to the chase, knowing what to do and say. Your instincts guide you. A loved one seems to be a bit elusive. Tonight: Go along with the moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You know what is acceptable and what needs to happen. Your sense of humor comes out, but those around you might not be in the same playful mood. Go for what you want, and bypass controlling people. Your Äery temperament emerges. Tonight: You make the right choices. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You want what you want, and you’ll do whatever it takes to get it. Slow down and tap into your imagination. Seek a more meaningful resolution or idea. Others will be in awe of how you have handled a touchy matter. Your instincts serve you well. Tonight: Isn’t it time to celebrate? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A friend or loved one reaches out to you. You might see more complications surrounding an ongoing issue than this person seems to. Listen to your sixth sense, and try not to dive right into what could be a problem waiting to happen. Tonight: Use care with your spending. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Lighten up the moment, and decide just how much Åak are you willing to absorb in order to keep the peace. Pressure continues to build in a work-related matter, as a boss might be observing you. Put your energy into executing an excellent idea. Tonight: Curb wildness.

Brewer said. “In addition to giving it a bridge that is wider and stronger, it will get rid of a lot of that dip or slope.” Brewer said that they have already started the process of notifying groups about the impending construction including the school system and postal employees who will have daily impact while the bridge is closed. One other complication is two existing gas lines that supply much of that area with natural gas. The construction was scheduled for a time when usage is not at it’s peak so that customers would have an adequate supply as they are taken down and replaced at different times, Brewer said.
Council Shelley said. Council members reminded him that he is salaried and tabled discussions and a possible decision to the next meeting in the absence of Mayor Ezell Smith. Council Member and Mayor Pro Tem Dean Bonner explained that Smith had the flu and could not attend. The council heard from organizers of the annual So Phi Block party. “We want to go back to the park for our 10th Annual Block Party,” Corey Ware said. “That is our birth place and we want to go back there for this one.” Last year the party was at the airport that is currently rented. Ware brought the council a proposal to rent the park that included a possible rental fee, along with security and cleanup. The council chose to table discussion and decision until its second meeting in March. Camp Hill Police Chief Johnny Potts wanted to introduce the newest Camp Hill Police Officer to the council, Randy Spivey Jr. Spivey told the council a little about himself. “I am an Alex City native,” Spivey said. “I started in law enforcement in 2009 as a park ranger at Wind Creek State Park.” Potts also wants to remind Camp Hill citizens to file reports if a crime happens. “We can not investigate a burglary or theft if there is no report,” Potts said. “If a crime occurs we encourage citizens to call for a report that way we can investigate it.” Council member Sylvia Spratling wanted to rec-

“As the dates are nailed down, we will do more in the way of notifying the public to let them know what to expect,” Brewer said. Residents could start seeing patching work on Washington in advance of paving work there in the next few weeks. Under the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program (ATRIP) 2.97 miles will be paved. The work will include a total reconstruction of Lee Street from U.S. Highway 280 to the rail crossing near what was the Russell Corp. headquarters and then across the tracks and back down Washington Street to the city limits.
ATRIP is an ALDOT administered federal aid highway program that funds up to 80 percent of the construction of important roadway projects. The city is using its own road funds to pick up the rest of the paving of Washington Street into town. “We are trying to work with contractors so that they can time the city potion just as they are doing the state work,” Brewer said. That way there will be no seam or a place where striping stops and starts. It will take some work to monitor it, but we think it can be done.” Brewer said that he things by April, all three of those projects should be well underway.

ognize those that helped with the town’s clean up day. “It went really well,” Spratling said. “I along with the mayor want to thank everyone for their help.” Bonner informed the council that he was looking at how other towns handle a water, sewer and fire protection boards. The Camp Hill Town Council also: • approved minutes from the Jan. 23 and Feb. 6 meetings. • announced a meeting of the Council Police Committee for Thursday, March 2 at 5:30 p.m. The next meeting of the Camp Hill Town Council is Monday, March 6 at 6 p.m.
