Alex City schools drop tuition Non-resident enrollees will pay $500 rather than $2,500 under new plan By MITCH SNEED Editor
The Alexander City School Board approved an 80 percent reduction in the tuition the system charges to non-resident students Tuesday. In a unanimous vote of the members in attendance, the board approved reducing the rate from $2,500 for the first student in a family to $500. The fee for each additional student in the same family would drop from $2,000 to $300. “This is something that we have looked at for awhile and we felt like it made sense for the system now,” Alexander City Schools Superintendent

Weddle said that he is honored to serve the people of New Site. “I feel like we have worked very hard to serve the people of New Site and that won’t change,” Weddle said. “I will keep working to make this community as safe as it possibly can be and be there for the people New Site and help any way we possibly can.” Weddle said that in New Site the emphasis has been on community policing and creating a presence that helps deter crime. “We will try hard to be an active part of the

DEAR ABBY: I’m not proud to write this, but I don’t like my son-in-law. I think the feeling is mutual. He’s arrogant and thinks he knows everything. My daughter and I had a close bond before she married him. That quickly changed. She barely comes to my house anymore, and I don’t see my grandkids as often as I’d like. I don’t have a car (I’m working on that), and I rely on them for transportation. I don’t like going to their house because I don’t feel wanted. I tolerate my son-in-law because I know my daughter loves him and I try hard to stay out of their business. What advice can you offer me? -- WISHING THINGS WERE BETTER DEAR WISHING: Has it occurred to you that your daughter may be hurt or uncomfortable because she knows you dislike her husband? If he makes your daughter happy and is a good father to your grandchildren, give him
DEAR ABBY Advice
points for that, and be glad you aren’t the one who has to live with him. You don’t have to love him, but you must maintain a cordial relationship if only for your daughter’s sake. Keep working on getting that car so you’ll have your own transportation when you need it, and your visit won’t be perceived as an imposition. DEAR ABBY: My son is angry to the point of rage that my daughter is dating his best friend, “Ron.” He says his sister “betrayed him” because when she and Ron broke up, she promised never to date another of his friends again, but went back to dating Ron. He also blames my husband

and me for encouraging them. They are only 18 months apart in age. We have shared that we understand his feelings of loss regarding his friend, but we don’t think there’s anything wrong with her dating Ron. I don’t think anything will make him feel better except them breaking up again, and that doesn’t look like it will happen. My son is 22 and my daughter is 20. This is ruining the once close-knit family we had. Any advice you can offer would be appreciated. -- MESS ON THE EAST COAST DEAR MESS: Your son may be 22, but he needs to grow up. If he values his friendship with Ron, he will have to accept that he cannot control the love lives of others, and the person he is punishing with the stance he has taken is himself. It’s time for you to step back. You and your spouse will be better off if you stop allowing your adult son’s tantrum(s) to affect you.
DEAR ABBY: While dining in a fancy restaurant recently, I noticed a woman sitting a few tables away who had a number of tattoos on her arms and elsewhere. When she came by, I politely asked her what one of them meant. My wife was furious! Did I do something wrong? -- INQUIRING QUESTION DEAR INQUIRING: Tattoos often have deeply personal meanings to the wearer. Although some individuals might welcome the opportunity to explain them to a stranger, others would not because the tat may commemorate a very personal -- or sad -- milestone.

Several already lining up to run for governor in 2018
W
e are on the cusp of one of the best political years in modern political history in the Heart of Dixie. Prior to the 1970’s our constitution disallowed succession of office for our state constitutional offices. In other words, you could not run for two consecutive four year terms. That is why George Wallace ran his wife in his place in 1966. George and Lurleen campaigned side-by-side. George would wink at the crowds still drawn to courthouse squares by a country band and say, “I’m going to be her number one advisor.” By the way, she won in a landslide. She beat eight male opponents without a runoff, including two former governors, an agriculture commissioner, the sitting state attorney general and two powerful state senators. However, you could serve a four year term and wait out four years and run for a second term. Only two men had done that in Alabama history. Prior to the constitutional change in the 1970’s Bibb Graves of Montgomery had done it early in the century and Big Jim Folsom did it in 1946 and again in 1954. Now that governors can succeed themselves, it has become common practice for governors to serve eight years rather than four. Thus, the 2018 governor’s race will be a once in an eight year opportunity. Folks, we are in for one heck of a year and the bell rings on June 6. Therefore, the horses will begin lining up over the next few months. It will be a great cavalcade of characters. The early favorite horse in the 2018 Derby is Roy Moore. The Chief Justice’s expulsion from the bench
STEVE FLOWERS Columnist
by the Judicial Inquiry Commission has propelled him to stratospheric levels in polling. Leading a horserace is a good analogy for Moore since he traditionally rides his horse to vote at his polling place in Gallant in rural Etowah County. Some of you may question Moore’s popularity, but the numbers are there in every poll. The JIC has made him a martyr. Alabama is a very religious state and being thrown out of office by an unaccountable commission for being against homosexual marriages is a pretty good issue to run on in the Bible Belt. Roy Moore is the wild card in the early 2018 jockeying. Most folks have him in the governor’s race. However, he has two other options. Attorney general or the U.S. Senate seat. He would probably win either of these posts. The governor’s office is another question. Historically, people do not think of him as governor. He lost miserably both times he ran, whereas he wins handily for a state judgeship. His best race is for attorney general or U.S. Senate. Twinkle Andress
Cavannaugh has a free shot in 2018. She was just reelected to a four year term as Public Service Commission President. She is already out running for governor and sometimes the early bird gets the worm. State Agriculture Commissioner John McMillan is term limited in that job that he has done well for eight years. He is well liked by everyone who knows him and is planning to run for governor. Young Boozer has also served his two term eight year limit as State Treasurer. He is a wild card and gives no hints as to what his future political plans are for 2018. Young is not a natural politician. He is an erudite Stanford educated successful banker who was perfectly suited for the State Treasurer’s post and he has done an excellent job. Secretary of State John Merrill is probably the best retail politician in the state at this time. Lots of people have encouraged him to run. However, he is one of the few constitutional officeholders who can run for reelection in 2018. He will probably bide his time and run for reelection. State Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh of Anniston is itching to pull the trigger on the governor’s race, but being a powerful state senator does not translate into statewide name
identification. However, Marsh is said to be wealthy. If he were to spend $3 to $5 million of his own money he could be a player. The very popular mayor of Huntsville, Tommy Battle, is seriously considering the race. If he joins the fray he could be a player. He would come out of the Tennessee Valley with a strong start. There are a lot of votes in North Alabama. We are in for a heck of a campaign year. I will keep you posted. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist.

Why I support the prison bill
Our View
McAlister and Turner were wise choices for Alex City
C
hange is often a tough thing, especially when the shifts are in positions of leadership with agencies charged with keeping residents safe. When the Alexander City City Council decided not to re-appoint the existing chiefs of the police and fire departments in Alexander City there was a little angst among the people who serve and the residents. But as all the steps in the process were taken, some feared what may happen as new leadership emerged. We are not foolish enough to believe that Alexander City has the market cornered on talented people in public service. But in the case of the fire department and police department, we believe that the council made the right choices. Reese McAlister and Jay Turner are home grown leaders who have spent their entire careers here in Alexander City. Both worked their way up and did almost every job in their respective departments. They know the strengths and weaknesses of their departments, so rather than spending time evaluating, they have the ability to move forward quickly. Alexander City is a unique community and the people here have become accustomed to first-responders who take care of tasks that many larger departments simply won’t. Repeated alarm calls, removal of pests and help with things like a disabled vehicle, transports to doctors calls and keys locked in cars would be left to the residents to hire to private businesses to handle. If you listened to the scanner for just one day like we do here at the Outlook you would understand what all both police and fire here in Alexander City do on a routine basis. Another good thing about the appointment of Turner is that it is the final appointed position to be filled. Yes, there is still a human resources director to bring on board with the departure of Tammy Walker, but the biggies are done. Now we hope they can increase their focus on other important things like passing a budget, finding why thousands of city dollars are missing from golf course funds and exactly how much money the city has before they spend it. Congratulations to Turner, McAlister and all those involved in the selection process. We hope these appointments will lead to big things and a safer more efficient community for us all.

T
here is a rising wave of violence in Alabama’s prisons. Recently in Elmore County, three inmates were killed by other prisoners in a ten-day period. In March of last year, the warden of Holman Prison in Atmore was stabbed by an inmate during a riot. A few months later, correctional officer Kenneth Bettis was stabbed and killed by an inmate at the same prison. Mr. Bettis was a decorated Army veteran who served with the Alabama Army National Guard in Iraq. Overcrowding – Alabama’s prisons are 173% above capacity– has created this dangerous situation and it places our dedicated correctional officers in harm’s way. A federal takeover of the Department of Corrections is a realistic threat if we don’t get our house in order. Consider California: in 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court found that California’s overcrowded prisons represented a violation of the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment and the Court ordered the state to lower its prison capacity to 137.5%. A panel of three federal judges now oversees California’s prison system to ensure compliance with the order, but compliance has ripped a gaping hole in California’s budget and prostrated the state’s autonomy under the federal court’s crushing oversight. The panel ordered the state to release 46,000 prisoners to reduce overcrowding, and California has spent over $1 billion in compliance costs. Last year, the Alabama
CLYDE CHAMBLISS Guest Columnist
Legislature started work on a prison reform bill to update our dilapidated correctional facilities and avoid California’s miserable plight. Governor Bentley proposed an $800 million construction program, which was met with many questions. Since then, I have worked closely with stakeholders to develop a program that protects taxpayers and solves our unsafe, overcrowded prison problem. Last week, my fellow members of the State Senate and I passed a prison reform bill that does just that. Senate Bill 302 allows for three new prisons, thereby reducing the overcrowding problem and increasing the safety of our correctional officers and wardens. It should also decrease recidivism — the cycle of prison re-entry — by allowing appropriate facilities for the programs so desperately needed by those about to be released. The legislation includes local communities by allowing them to participate in the process, giving them control of their own destiny, instead of a topdown approach where the Legislature picks who gets a state prison and who does not. It also removes the design-build components of the proposal, which concerned many. The status quo is our most expensive self-imposed
option. If we don’t build new prisons, the courts are going to force us to do so and that will cost much more than if we do it ourselves. Modern, circular designs are more cost-effective to operate than existing dormitory-style jails, and we will repurpose currently appropriated dollars to pay for the cost of the new prisons. Correctional officers like Kenneth Bettis protect us from criminals and deserve to return home to their families each night. These individuals should not be at the constant threat of injury or death because the state does not have adequate prison space. We also have a responsibility to protect prisoners from each other: getting beat to death in prison while serving out a sentence is not justice. For these reasons, I was proud to participate in the drafting of this legislation and I look forward to the House of Representatives sending it on to the Governor after they debate the bill. If I can be of help to you or you have concern or questions about any issue, email me at clyde. chambliss@alsenate. gov or call my office in Montgomery – 334-2427872.

Today’s
Letter to the Editor
President deserves more respect than he has gotten Dear Editor, On Nov. 8, 2016 Donald J. Trump was elected as President of the United States. Since that time, he has been opposed and disrespected in every way imaginable. In my lifetime and in my knowledge of history, I have never known this level of obstruction to an elected, sitting president. Recently, Federal district judges of the 9th and 4th Circuit Courts have issued injunctions against a presidential ban on immigration from middle-eastern countries where the risk of terrorism is extremely high. My immediate concern is that the president’s right and obligation to protect and defend our country has been usurped by those district judges. ` Congress has given the president the authority and responsibility to act on behalf of our safety. I know of no constitutional or congressional mandates for the Federal District Courts to interfere with that authority. To my knowledge the only example of this effort to interfere with the president’s ability to carry out this duty was during the administration of President Andrew
Jackson. In that situation, President Jackson dealt with a similar situation by stating that (paraphrase) now that the court has ruled, let them enforce the ruling. He knew very well that the courts have no enforcement arm, and that only the president has the ability to enforce the ruling. I am surprised at President Trump’s restraint in not taking this approach. Short of declaring martial law, there should be a way for a president who has special and highly classified knowledge of serious threats to our country to make decisions about our safety without obstruction by the lower courts. If some disaster occurs as result of the interference by the Federal District Judges, who is held legally responsible and who would be required to pay the penalties for the disaster? Judicial ruling, just as presidential actions, are not without consequences. Billy Sellers Alexander City

A load of Dollar General shopping carts being hauled on a trailer through the roundabout in downtown Alexander City broke loose and rolled off the trailer just after 10 a.m. Monday. The driver and others scurried to round up all the carts and get them reloaded without too much delay. The runaway carts only caused a slight delay for motorists trying to navigate the roundabout.

Dr. Darrell Cooper said. “Each student would more than pay for themselves in terms of state and federal per student funding. The idea is that as long as we can handle the added students with existing resources, existing personnel and exiting facilities, then I think this is appropriate.” Currently there are only about 22 students paying tuition, Cooper estimated without having exact numbers at hand. He said the number that would be allowed won’t be calculated until the end of the school years when realistic numbers can be estimated. The reduction in cost could be significant enough to attract students who are looking for specific programs that are offered at Alexander City schools and not at the school that serves their regular attendance area. Cooper also had a first reading for some changes to board policy that would establish a non-resident student enrollment handbook that would layout explicit rules and procedures for all non-resident students. The handbook would include everything from the deadlines and procedures to apply for admission, the discipline policies, clear information on what is required of the student as far as attendance, discipline and providing their own transportation and the limitation of admission of non-resident students, Cooper explained. Board Vice-President David Sturdivant said that handbook is an important element of the process. “I think that is going to be an integral part of making all this work efficiently,” Sturdivant said. “Having that policy in place will help clarify and standardize things and I think it would help eliminate any potential issues that could arise. That’s valuable especially when admission has to be with existing facilities and resources.” The board will vote on the handbook and its language at its next meeting, which is scheduled for April 18 at Radney Elementary School.

Cow
continued from page 1
“It was horrible,” Ballard said. “I’ve seen dogs get after a calf, but not a full-grown, pregnant mama cow with a calf at her side. “They got her by the ears and took her down and broke down by her hind legs. Once they did that it was over.” Ballard said that one of the men who works with him fired at the dogs, hitting one. But as of Tuesday evening both dogs were still alive. To show how vicious the attack was, Ballard said the cow weighed 1,200 pounds. The animal received multiple injuries and Ballard said both ears had been ripped off by the dogs. “We know which dogs they were and who the owners are,” Ballard said. “We are supposed to meet with them tonight and see what we can work out. “It’s just a tough thing to see and the bad thing is we have kids who ride four-wheelers out there. If they break down they have to walk back. If that had been a kid, there is no telling what could have happened.”
Since the incident was in the police jurisdiction and outside the city limits, animal control does not have the authority to pick up the dogs. “We had people out there and the owners saw the dogs and shot one of them,” Alexander City Police Chief Jay Turner said. “There are no charges at this time. We’ve talked with the owner of the cow and the owners of the dogs and they are going to negotiate to see what can be worked out. “The thought of a full-grown cow being killed by dogs, even large dogs is unbelievable. But when they get in a pack in that hunting mode, I’m told that even the most docile dog can do things like this.” Turner and Ballard both pointed out that there is no dog ordinance in place in the county. That means that while dog owners are liable for damage, they are not under any obligation to keep their dogs off the property of others. Animals that have been implicated in these kinds of incidents can’t be seized by city animal control officers.
America ManNageewment! Lives Here
“I find it hard to believe that when something like this happens, there is no recourse to make sure the dogs can never do this kind of thing again,” Ballard said. “I hope this prompts someone to take some action to put an ordinance in place to protect people from this kind of thing.” Tallapoosa County Commissioner T.C. Coley who represents that area said that they have struggled with situations like this in the past because while the Alexander City Police Department can enforce state laws, city ordinances like the dog ordinance are a different story. “This isn’t the first time we’ve had a situation like this and it’s an unfortunate thing,” Coley said. “We are open to finding a solution that works. The issue is the cost of enforcing a countywide dog ordinance would be almost impossible. But if there is a way that we could find a way to enforce that law in the city’s police jurisdiction even though it is outside of the city limits would be an answer.”

We have tried to find the model to operate an urgent care facility and we think we have.” A ground breaking ceremony will be held at 1:30 p.m. Thursday and parking will be in the grassy area behind the Russell Retail Outlet. Peace explained at a SCRUBS breakfast last month that Russell Medical has been recruiting physicians to help with primary care. “We have been recruiting primary care,” Peace said. “If you read about the future of healthcare, you will read about the shortage of primary care. We are proud that we don’t have that problem today.” Peace said two new primary physicians have been on staff since 2015 with two more coming by the summer.

tax,” Windle said. At its work session two weeks ago, the board learned of the need to split the Reeltown School into an elementary and high school. Monday they approved the move that would move the sixth grade back to the old school and allow for a full-time librarian. “Sounds like the right thing to do,” board member Michael Carter said. “The state department is sitting on the ready for this,” Windle said. “They are ready and there should be no problem having this ready for next school year.” The board also extended its partnerships in the community by entering into a lease agreement with the Town of Camp Hill for its use of the gym and baseball field at the Edward Bell Career Tech Center and by allowing a group to use three classrooms at Dadeville High School for a summer program. “They are just another way for us to develop good partners by working with those in our community,” Windle said. The board was approached by Farmers and Merchants Bank’s Randall McClendon about some of the things the bank might be able to help with at Dadeville Elementary School and further develop partnerships. “We want to be a good community partner,” McClendon said. “We want to be a good community partner. We have a Partners in Education program and can help with some needs.” McClendon explained that he learned the Chambers County based bank was doing silimar things with Chambers County Schools. “It will be a loose affiliation with the school,” McClendon said. “We can help with things like pencils, notebooks,
“Dr. Bob Edwards is UAB trained,” Peace said. “He lives in Waverly with his wife on a farm. She grew up there. “Dr. John Adams, he grew up just south of Birmingham,” Peace said. “He lives in Alex City. He and his wife wanted to be close to home but live in a small town to raise a family.” The next two primary physicians will be on staff by summer. Dr. Tate Hinkle is finishing his residency in Huntsville and Dr. Justin Vines is finishing his residency in Tuscaloosa. Peace says the four physicians will be working together. “The four together will be housed in one building,” Peace said. “It is going to help us fill a void here.” Peace explained that they will share the new urgent
care facility. “The four primary care physicians will be on the left,” Peace said. “It will be supplemented in terms of coverage by those four physicians. It will have a nurse practitioner and be open seven days a week.” Peace says the Russell Medical Urgent Care program will be better than that of others. “It will tie to the hospital,” Peace said. “We have a certain standard that we have to follow under federal and state guidelines when we put someone on our medical staff. Those individuals that work in it (urgent care facility) will have to work under those same standards. When you look at an independent facility, there are no state guidelines or requirements. It is one of the things that we are proud to be able to bring to the community.”

We had some steps that we had to go through with John’s retirement to formalize some of the things, but I am pleased to have him officially in that position.” Blasingame praised the work of Councilman Michael East who headed up the effort to secure job descriptions and lay out the responsibilities and standards for positions in the department. “In addition to naming Philip chief, we voted to post the officer’s position,” Blasigname said. “It’s only a two-person department, so there were some things that we just needed to get on paper as we move forward. Now we can be sure that everything is clear moving forward. We will keep officer’s job posted for 14 days and then go through the applications and complete the hiring process.” Blasingame said he hopes the news will reassure

Columnist
I was swept back in time by AU baseball
T
he year was 1987. I was a mild-mannered 11-yearold investigating the mysteries of fifth grade at Radney Elementary while President Ronald Reagan determinedly fought the Cold War. It was a much simpler time with far, far less technology to overwhelm everyday life. Afternoons were spent riding my dirt bike, shooting basketball and playing Defender on the old Atari 2600. Auburn defeated Alabama 10-0 at Legion Field. The Indiana Hoosiers won the NCAA Tournament and Bob Knight’s 3rd (and final) championship. “The Bold and the Beautiful” debuted on CBS (don’t ask me how I know that). Iran-Contra was on the news practically every day. I’m still not quite sure what that was all about. “Three Men and A Baby” was the No. 1 move in America. “Fatal Attraction” was No. 2. I’m not judging, but something about that just seems odd. Every boom-box (if you don’t know what that is, ask someone with gray hair) was blaring “Walk like an Egyptian” by The Bangles and “Living on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi. The world was introduced to Homer Simpson. I went to the theater with my father and brother to see “Predator” and “RoboCop.” In hindsight, those movies could be considered inappropriate for an 11-year-old, but, again, it was a different time. While strolling down memory lane is always fun, there’s actually a point to all of this nostalgia. I previewed the Auburn Tigers baseball season a few weeks ago and talked about how the team had gotten off to a good 7-1 start. Well, SEC season began this past weekend and the Tigers jumped right into the fire hosting the No. 5 ranked Florida Gators. The Gators came into Plainsman Park struggling at the plate, but boasting one of the finest pitching staffs in the entire country. Auburn proved to be a very discourteous host and swept Florida right out of town. It’s the first time the Tigers have opened SEC play 3-0 since 2010 when they went 20-10 in conference (one of only two winning records in league play since 2000). It’s the first time Auburn has swept the Gators since, you guessed it, 1987. MLB Hall of Famer Frank Thomas and fan-favorite AU wide receiver Trey Gainous both played on that Tiger team. Auburn showcased a lot of promising attributes this past weekend. The offense exploded for 14 hits and 14 runs on Friday carving up several talented pitchers. The defense was on display Saturday turning double plays and robbing base hits in a 2-1 thriller. Sunday revealed the character and grit of Auburn’s squad coming from behind and winning in the bottom of the ninth 6-5. In all three games, the Tigers were outstanding on the mound. Keegan Thompson and Casey Mize pitched 13.1 innings in the first two games giving up only one earned run. Cole Lipscomb, Ryan Watson, Calvin Coker and Andrew Mitchell combined to pitch 9.2 innings on the weekend in relief also giving up only one earned run. AU head coach Butch Thompson is one of the most respected pitching coaches in the entire country. The Tiger staff is very talented, but obviously benefiting from his tutelage. This is the most promising start to a baseball season in many moons. It’s still very early, but a sweep of the Gators to start the year has raised a lot of eyebrows. Maybe it won’t take 30 more years to do it again. Andy Graham writes a regular sports column for Tallapoosa Publishers.

make those things happen.” Horn also places his coaching accomplishments behind the value of shaping young lives. “It’s all about the kids,” he said. “It’s all about teaching them not only about football but also about life. The games you don’t necessarily win but you get through, you should be proud of them because that’s the way it is in life.” That philosophy played a large part in Horn’s selection for the Hall of Fame. “He is a man of few words but a person who knows how to reach and excite kids,” Ingram said. Horn graduated from Clay County High School in 1980, from Jacksonville State University in 1984 and completed his Masters at JSU in 1989. It was in those early days while playing football, basketball and baseball as a youth that Horn’s path to coaching began to take shape. It’s a decision he has never regretted. “I’m in the greatest profession,” he said. Horn was joined in the 27th class by fellow football coaches Peter Braasch, Wayne Grant, Russell Jacoway and Dwight Sanderson, as well as basketball coaches Wayne Bowling, Richard Carter, Bob Harpe, volleyball and softball coach Rebecca Lee; softball coach Tony Scarbrough, tennis
coach David Bethea; and the late coach/administrator Lorenzo Jackson, who was selected in the “old-timer” division. The formal affair featured Horn being led into the proceedings by his son, Chase Horn, who served as his father’s flag bearer. “We all had a flag bearer,” Horn said. “I chose Chase, No. 1, because he’s my son. He’s also been with me on the field for seven years.” While Horn appreciated the honor of the Hall of Fame induction, even more meaningful was the number of supporters from Benjamin Russell and Clay County among the 750 attendees at Monday’s ceremony. “We had eight tables and each table had eight people,” he said. “I was glad so many people came out to see an old country boy like me.” Looking ahead, Ingram believes Horn will continue to make his mark on prep athletics. “He could be the state’s next 300-game winner,” he said. “He already has 280 wins. He has rebuilt Benjamin Russell into a state power and could some day soon add a seventh state title.” Horn didn’t rule out the idea. “If I continue for several more years, that’s possible,” he said. “I plan on doing this a good while longer.”
Cougars lose to Randolph County in 7-0 shutout By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor
It was a disappointing day in front of the home crowd Tuesday for the Central Coosa varsity baseball team as the Cougars lost to Randolph County in a 7-0 shutout. The Tigers came out strong by scoring a run in the first inning. Randolph County followed that up with two more runs in the second inning, three more in the third and one final run in the fifth. Meanwhile, the Cougars just couldn’t get on the scoreboard. Central Coosa eighth-grader Kyle Streb led the Cougars by going two for three. Despite his performance, which included a double and base steal, Streb believes the Cougars’ game could have been better. “I think we need to fix the errors and work on our mechanics,” he said. Central Coosa senior Christopher Nail took the loss for the Cougars. In three and two-thirds innings on the pitcher’s mound, he allowed four hits and one walk and gave up one run. “I felt great,” he said. “My arm got a little tired, but other than that I felt fine.” Nail echoed Streb’s thoughts about his team’s performance Tuesday. “I thought we did OK,” he said of the Cougars’ performance. “We just need to

The Outlook
RIVFD and Equality United Methodist will miss Chester and Sylvia Bell
W
hile it’s still cold in many other places in the United States, we are enjoying warmth and sunshine along with all of nature’s wonders. March 25 is my Auntie Jean Gratton’s (My Mother’s eldest sister) 91st birthday. I thought she was quite mean when I was young because she was stern and would make me eat foods I knew I didn’t like. Jean has been the healthiest of the older four of my grandparent’s children apart from COPD and asthma common in the family. Auntie Jean lives alone on the ground floor of a four-plex with a small ‘tended’ garden to enjoy in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire County, England. I spent a lot of weekends at her house as a child because her daughter Jeanette, two years my
ROSIE MORGAN Nixburg/ Equality
senior, was not only my cousin but was also my friend. I did a lot of pushing around of food on my plate at meal times there. I was very picky about food then and my Aunt seemed determined to fix that problem. Logging is going on all around us and in Nixburg. The full, heavy log trucks often begin at daybreak. They also work on Sundays. We can hear the fully laden trucks on Coosa County Road 4 barely making it under the load. The driver having great difficulty trying to get the next gear synchronized to make the slightly rising grade
in the road. I cringe thinking of how long we waited for filling of large holes on our country road, done when wet, that are now being churned up by heavy trucks. It is a catch 22 situation. Since logging is a large sustainable business on rural lands, being reliable income for land-owners. Some of the land along State Highways 9 between Nixburg and 22 to Rockford just looks like it has been ‘tortured.’ Not evenly harvested, but broken as if a bad tornado came through. I think that is mostly on the lands owned by long-time older families of Nixburg. On both sides of the roads, opening views to houses you couldn’t see before. They will miss that shade and protection they enjoyed from great Southern Pines. This is National
Poison Prevention Week for pets. The 24-hour help hot-line number is: 855-764-7661. Most pet owners know that chocolate can be very dangerous for pets. The Humane Shelter reminds us that other things like onions, garlic, grapes, raisins and anything sweetened with ‘Xylitol’ can send your pet to the ER for care. Cocoa bean mulch and all-parts of Easter Lilly’s are very poisonous for pets. On Sunday, March 5, the Real Island Volunteer Fire Department hosted a going-away party for Chester and Sylvia Bell. They are moving to Huntsville to be closer to their children. The Bell’s lived on Lake Martin since 1985. Mr. Bell was a member of the RIVFD for 25 years and a member of the Choir at Equality United Methodist Church in
Equality. They enjoyed seeing old friends come and go with cards and sharing refreshments. We see so much litter along the highways all the time and more during hunting seasons. It is such a shame that folks don’t have more pride and respect. Makes me often remember the old public service message where the Red Indian elder on his horse in the mountains, looking down into the Valley where trash was left, with tears running down his face for the shameful way people have treated the sacred lands, God has provided. We
need more of these “responsibility” ads today since most of the youngsters seem to think that “someone” will come along out of nowhere and do all the cleanup for them. If we all took our trash home as we should, there would be no need for any general roadside clean-up. 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.
