Freeman found guilty of harassment
A CORNY LESSON
Former AU star fined over incident with ‘girlfriend/cousin’ By MITCH SNEED Editor
A former prep and college football star was found guilty of domestic violence harassment Wednesday after testimony alleged that he caused minor injuries to a female cousin that he apparently had an intimate relationship with. Alexander City Municipal Court Judge Randy Haynes found former Benjamin Russell and Auburn University football player Eltora Sanchez Freeman, 27, guilty after a 58-minute trial Thursday. Freeman was sentenced to pay a $250 fine and court costs and ordered him to stay away from the 20-year-old victim. Haynes suspended a 10-day jail term, provided Freeman doesn’t get in any trouble and complies with the stay-away order. Immediately after the verdict and sentence, Freeman announced to the judge and those in attendance that he wanted to appeal the decision. The woman said Freeman brought her to the home that he shared with his parents, but after the two argued, he left. And the girl went back inside. When Freeman returned the next morning, she testified that he started yelling at her. It was like he had to make a scene to make like I wasn’t supposed to be there so he wouldn’t get in trouble,” the woman testified. See HARASSMENT • Page 7

Young students enjoy an ear full of education By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Physical education classes can be loud, especially with elementary students. Thursday, students in the P.E. class of Patricia Brooks at Jim Pearson Elementary were not only quiet at times but still too. Doing what one might ask? Eating roasted corn – some for the first time. “It’s good,” Kindergartner John David Ward said as he chewed up some roasted corn. The experience is something most of students get with
Brooks on Thursdays as she helps with the school’s Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. “We are feeding them fruits and vegetables separate from the lunchroom,” Brooks said. “I do it as part of my health day on Thursdays. Yesterday, we had fruits. We had bananas, pineapples, cantaloupe and Cuties. They ate almost all of it. We hardly had to throw anything away. “Some had never eaten raw vegetables. We have tried broccoli, bell pepper and other things that most would shy away from. Thursday, the students got something a little different – roasted corn from Steven Espi of Athens, Alabama.

Russell Medical breaks ground on new urgent care facility By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
It has been in the works for seven years but now Russell Medical’s Total Healthcare and Urgent Care facility is on the fast track and will be open in October. Russell Medical staff and board members gathered Thursday around shovels to officially break ground on the new 12,000 square foot building that will house four primary care doctors and 32 employees. “It has been a long journey and we are proud to be here today,” Russell Medical CEO Jim Peace said at the groundbreaking. “It has been a part of our vision for a while.” The new building that will be visible from Highway 280 is a hybrid model

combining both primary healthcare and urgent care. “This is a hybrid plan and we are excited about it,” Russell Medical Primary Care Physician Dr. Bob Edwards said. “There is a need here and across America for when people get sick to see a doctor, to see a healthcare provider on something besides the normal business hour.” Edwards says this will not be an average urgent care. “In this hybrid clinic having the urgent care in the front part of the building is going to be great,” Edwards said. “It will be great to come to a place that has your medical records. A place where we know who you are and it makes a big difference when you need somebody.” Peace says the new facility is exciting

DEAR ABBY: I lost my husband a few years ago and am now remarried. Some of my adult children, although they did not want me to be alone and they “say” they are happy for me, have been slow in welcoming my new husband. I in no way expect him to be a replacement for their father. I only wish they would welcome him into their lives as they would anyone else’s spouse. They don’t have to love him. I ask only that they respect him and acknowledge that he’s part of my life now. Wishing him a happy birthday and happy holidays directly would go a long way to making him feel accepted, as would more general communication. He has tried on numerous occasions to show an interest in their lives, but he receives little acknowledgment in return. His children have welcomed me into their lives. This has strained and changed my relationship with my children. I just want a family again. Is it asking too much of them to

If you have and they are still unable to warm up to him, it’s time to concentrate your efforts on building closer relationships with those relatives who are willing to be more welcoming. Remember, we can’t change other people. We can, however, change ourselves, and by doing so, change the way we REACT to them. DEAR ABBY: I have a family dilemma.

Rev. Turk Holt will officiate. The family will receive friends on Tuesday, March 21, 2017 from 10:00 a.m to 11:30 a.m. at Radney Funeral Home. Mr. Fuller passed away on Thursday, March 16, 2017 at residence. He was born on September 23, 1958 in Alexander City, Alabama to Herbert L. Fuller, Jr. and Shirley Blair Fuller. He attended Stony Point Baptist Church. He enjoyed gardening, yard work, photography, and Auburn Football. Jeff was a big jokester and always told the corniest jokes. He was an avid fisherman and won several tournaments. He dearly loved his family and always told them so. He is survived by his wife, Laura Ann Fuller of Franklinton, LA; sons, Travis Fuller (Megan) of Wetumpka and Jared Fuller of Orlando; step-son, Adam Springer of Orlando; grandchild, Ava Springer; parents, Herbert and Shirley Fuller of Alexander City; sisters, Cindy Blake (Scott) of Alexander City and Terri Brennan (Doug) of Birmingham; brother, Greg Fuller (Mary Kate) of Rome, GA; and several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

boys, ages 8 and 10, during the summer and school breaks. We pay her well to come to our home and watch them eight hours a day. My problem is, her younger brother is my son’s best friend. He gets invited to their house for a sleepover the day before we need a sitter, and both boys go. Then the next day their mom says our niece watched them, and therefore she should get paid for that day, too. Abby, the mom is there all day. To me, a cousin sleepover isn’t something that should be charged for. Their children have come to our house for years for sleepovers, and I never charged them. Is this OK? And if not, how do we refuse? We have already told her we prefer the boys to be watched at our home, so they receive one-on-one time. What do you think about this? -- COUSIN SLEEPOVER DEAR C.S.: What do I think? I think you have been taken advantage of. A baby sitter is hired when there is no
adult in the home to supervise the children. If your nephew’s mother can’t be home when your boys have been invited for a sleepover, the person who should pay for the baby sitter is her -- not you. If you want to put an end to this, tell the woman exactly what I have told you. DEAR ABBY: I am a step-grandfather. Must I go to a grandchild’s church performances even though I’m an atheist? -- COMMAND PERFORMANCE IN OREGON DEAR COMMAND: If you want a close and loving relationship with your grandchild (notice I didn’t say “step-”), you should absolutely be present to encourage and support that child!

Urgent Care not only in what it what can do for the community but what the new primary care help that will given. “Recruiting primary care and homegrown physicians is just exciting,” Peace said. “That is our future – primary care and creating a model around those four guys and have a say about what primary healthcare will look like tomorrow. Now, couple that with urgent care access.” Edwards and Russell Medical’s other primary care physician Dr. John Adams have been around for a few years and are happy to see the construction starting. “It is very exciting for us,” Edwards said. “This is a day we have been waiting a very long time for. We have been lucky to be part of this vision. This vision took flight long before we got here.” Edwards and Adams will be joined in the new facility by new primary care physicians Dr. Justin Vines and Dr. Tate

Yes there is I good news
ewspapers are often blamed for being the bearer of only bad news and some days we do have a heavy dose of headlines from the dark side. But looking at today’s Outlook, that’s not the case. Thursday was a day for celebration in Alexander City. Just look at the headlines and days like this show that there are great things happening in our area. Our own Russell Medical broke ground on an exciting new project. A new building will be built between the cancer center and the Russell Retail Store that will house a new urgent care service as well as some of the hospitals family practice physicians. The facility should help ease the burden at the hospital’s emergency department which is a great thing. The project again shows the commitment to this community by Russell Medical. The Lake Martin Area United Way announced its annual fundraising goal was surpassed. The generosity of this community never ceases to amaze us as each year local residents and businesses dig deep to help the 27 agencies served by the local United Way. This community routinely beats a goal that is larger than area with three times the population. In addition to thanking all those who gave or pledged a portion of their annual salary, we salute the United Way staff and board of directors for their effort, creativity and hard work to make sure that the goal was reached. On top of those two milestone stories, how about topping it off with a great thing for area school kids. Children at Jim Pearson were treated to juicy, fresh roasted corn as part of the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program and the smiles showed that it was a welcome change of pace. There is good news and good things happening in Alexander City.

t’s hard to believe but I have a birthday coming up next week. How can a young man like me have so many birthdays, so quickly? If my birthdays were counted in doggy years I would already be dead! I think the observation about the stages of a man’s life is correct. He has spills, drills, thrills, bills, ills, pills, and end up with wills. I’m getting to that age where I need to stop counting up and start counting down the years left. I mentioned these deep thoughts to my wife and I thought she said I was getting older and wiser. That made me feel pretty good so I told folks what she said. When she overheard me she corrected me and stated she really said, “I was getting older and wider.” I guess that’s why when I went to my last class reunion everyone was so old, wrinkled and bald that they didn’t even recognize me. I think I’ll stay with the wiser comment just to make me feel better. Last year my sons came for my birthday. That was a nice present in itself, but they also had a large envelope for a trip they wanted me to consider. They put me in the car and after we got on the road they told me to open the envelope and look at the beautiful brochures of where I was

n 2001, just a few months before 9/11, Lucy, my exwife, went to New York with her mom. They went to see several Broadway shows while in the Big Apple. She bought a snow globe filled with the city's top landmarks and signs of the more popular Broadway shows. About three years ago, we had just moved to a new house. Her snow globes were packed in a trunk in the garage. One night, as she was in search of another item, she placed the globe from the city so nice they named it twice on the floor of the garage. She should have put it back where it belonged, but she didn't. I saw it there the next day. I was somewhat peeved that she'd left it there. I should've picked it up and put it back in its proper place, but I didn't. I was wrong for that. It remained on the floor of the garage for several days. Each of us had multiple opportunities to pick it up and do the right thing, but both of us failed. One night, I turned on the light in the garage, but the bulb blew. It didn't phase me. I continued on into garage. Several seconds later, I accidentally kicked the snow globe over and shattered the glass. I picked everything up,

discarded the glass and put the base in a box. I vowed to get it repaired one day. Less than a year later, Lucy and I were divorced. She took her stuff, and I took mine. I also took her broken snow globe. I knew it could be fixed. In the fall, we started talking again, and for the most part, it was very pleasant. We started hanging out again, too. We were just friends enjoying each other's company; we were trying to get to know each other better than before. Inevitably, we started talking about a possible future but knew we had to fix some things. When I saw the writing on the wall that we could be fixed, I sent off the broken souvenir to Colorado to be repaired. I'd hoped to get it back by Valentine's Day. I had a speech and a romantic presentation laid out for her. I wanted to show it as a symbol for our failed marriage and how we both contributed to it but also as a symbol of how something
so special could be repaired, but that didn't happen. The repairs on the globe took longer than expected. By God's Grace, we didn't need the snow globe to symbolize our brokenness or our repairs. We made a decision to give our relationship another go while the repairs were taking place. Last week, I surprised her and returned to her the repaired snow globe. It looked brand new-better than ever. She had no idea that I had sent it off and had no idea that it could be salvaged. Upon further review, it wasn't perfect. The Statue of Liberty's torch had broken off, but that was okay. It wasn't perfect, but it was close enough. When something is special and you know it. You don't throw it away. You keep it. You hold onto it the best you can, and when the timing is right, you fix it. Jody Fuller is from Opelika. He is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Zero in on your objectives. Feedback might be intense and, at times, overwhelming. When pursuing an important desire, the unexpected is likely to occur. You will want to try to be clear and open; however, on some level, you could be very confused. Tonight: Where the crowds are. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be too much in the limelight for your taste. Honor a fast change of pace. You’ll have a lot thrown at you all at once. Catch the ball and run with it. Your competency remains high. You could be shocked to hear some important news. Tonight: A must appearance. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Reach out to someone you care a lot about. This person tends to be a great resource for you, and today will be no different. You might wonder why you are doing what you are. Touch base with a friend or loved one before solidifying plans. Tonight: Try a new place. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be in a unique situation. How you relate on an individual level might become very different once conversations start up. Be open to new ideas and feedback. An unexpected element seems to run through your day; just go with it. Tonight: Opt to be with one person. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Others seem intent on creating more of what they want. Learn to say “no” gracefully, if you haven’t already. You might be surprised, and perhaps even touched, by some of what you hear from several people. Open up to a new type of thinking. Tonight: Happiest at home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Clear out as much work as you can. You could be easily distracted and lose your pace. As a result, your weekend is likely to be marred. A one-on-one chat could force your hand. You could be surprised by a Änancial matter and/or an associate. Tonight: Out with the old, in with the new.

Harassment

She then testified about how Freeman left marks on her neck trying to throw her out of the house. “I was trying to get my shoes on to leave and he grabbed me by the arm and was trying to get me out of the room,” she testified, “He grabbed me by my shirt arm and my neck.” Prosecutor Charles Gillenwaters then produced two photos that showed a mark on one side of the woman’s neck and a second mark on the other side. “I found her in my bed, I was upset,” Freeman said. “Of course I was upset. Who wouldn’t be upset? But I didn’t call the police, I just wanted her up out of there. But I didn’t lay a hand on her, I didn’t.” Alexander City Police Department Officer William Davis Police testified that Freeman admitted throwing the girl out of the house and said “he may have” scratched her neck in the process. Freeman interrupted the officer’s testimony to deny saying that. But Davis stuck to his recollection of the conversation. He said that the woman didn’t appear to need medical attention. Acting as his own attorney often going on long rants, he asked Davis about the woman’s injuries. “I’m 240 pounds and if I had grabbed her, why weren’t my finger prints not on her neck?” Freeman asked. “Answer me that.” Freeman repeatedly denied having a sexual relationship with his cousin. The woman’s testimony, testimony from her mother and pictures of the two in a hotel room, a hotel receipt supplied by the victim seemed to back up her claims. Freeman refuted what the pictured depicted. “I’m in the bed with her, but it’s not like I’m in bed with her,” Freeman said. It ain’t like that. Not with my little cousin.” Freeman couldn’t seem to say enough in his defense. “If I had wanted to hurt her I would have done it in 2015 when she took everything from me,” Freeman said. “It ain’t like that. Nothing in my life revolves around her.” He also said that he was ready to get away from the girl and his family because “these people are just point blank trying to ruin my life.” “I’m not trying to hurt her,” Freeman said on another long statement. “I will stay away from her. Oh yeah. I hope I can get out of this right here and I’m getting out of this town.” Freeman, who was a member of the 2010 Auburn University National Championship football team, does have a history of issues involving this woman and her family. He was accused of raping the woman in 2015, but the grand jury found there wasn’t enough evidence to indict. He was charged with harassment of the victim and in another incident the girl’s mother made a harassment complaint. Until Thursday, none of those allegations ever produced a conviction. Haynes made it clear what his ruling meant. “This means you can’t ride in a car together, you can’t call her on the phone, you can’t spend the night together,” Haynes said. “You do understand that, right?” Haynes then gave Freeman instructions on how to appeal the ruling within 14 days if he was serious about doing so.

The news brought a huge ovation from the crowd. Lemmond pointed out that 163 businesses gave monetarily. The top business contribution was from Russell Lands who gave $68,017. Russell Medical served as the pacesetter this year. The hospital raised $48,067. A total of 17 businesses increased the percentage they raised over last year. The City of Alexander City under the direction of Mayor Jim Nabors were more than 100 percent over last year’s total. Others with increases included: Coosa County Commission 93 percent, Thompson Tractor 81 percent, Tallapoosa Publishers 68 percent, Frontier Spinning 50 percent, Coosa County Board of Education 41 percent, River Bank and Trust 14 percent, Sigma Corporation 13 percent, Tallapoosa Count Commission 8 percent, Alabama Power 7 percent, Madix 6 percent, USAmeriBank 5 percent, Russell Lands 4 percent, Morris Haynes and Hornsby 3 percent, Russell Medical 1 percent, Radiology and Imaging 1 percent and Alexander City Police Department. Dr. Eric Tyler and his wife were one of the top contributors along with Dr. and Mrs. John James and the Ben Russell family. All gave more than $10,000. Tyler was also instrumental in the Summer Reading program and he spoke to his passion for helping kids. “If you want to change the evening news, we have to educate our children,” Tyler said. “I am tired of the
evening news. Thank you all.” A special award was given to Jim Denney as the Volunteer of the Year for his tireless efforts to help United Way this year. Lemmond thanked all the volunteers who helped make the events possible and Fuller put the work done by the agencies in perspective. “Our wonderful agencies touch so many lives,” Fuller said. “Think about it. It’s sad that we have to have them, but it is a blessing that we do. They really make a difference in the lives of so many in our community.” USAmeriBank’s Mark Spencer was also honored by Randy Haynes. This marked the third time that Spencer has served as a United Way Chairman, and he has done it at three different United Ways. “He has done more than his part,” Haynes said. “He is dedicated to our community. He’s dedicated to United Way and he’s a great leader. He’s done this three times with three different agencies. He’s truly been a blessing to Lake Martin Area United Way.” At the end of the evening the new campaign theme “Team United” was announced, complete with a touchdown pass and pom poms and a cheer that involved the entire crowd. For more information about how to give to the Lake Martin Area United Way, visit www.unitedwaylakemartin.org or call 256-329-3600.

The folks at Gary Ingram Paving have been working hard to keep drivers aware of the upcoming construction on Lee Street. The latest message is: “Yipeee!! Hooray! Roadwork Starts Monday! While driver’s won’t be celebrating, they should have few excuses not to be aware of the work so they can plan to take alternate routes during the project.

GETTING AN EAR FULL Jim Pearson students treated to presentation on agriculture and samples of fresh roasted corn
Corn Espi helps with the learning by providing teachers with a video to help teach were food comes from, especially corn. While talking with the students before they get to sample the roasted corn, Espi reinforced the learning about where food comes from, mainly corn. “First we put seeds in the ground,” Espi told the students while holding an ear of unshucked corn. “This corn has moisture in it but if you dry it out, you can make popcorn with it. If you cut it up real small, you make grits with it.” The presentation is meant to help

students understand that food comes from the earth – not just a can. “They are used to seeing it come out of a package or can,” Espi said. “At this age, some have never tried roasted corn.” “Some of the children, this is the first time they have seen corn in a shuck,” Brooks said. “And for some, it’s the first time trying corn.” After the presentation, the biggest question was who wanted butter on their corn. To the surprise of some teachers, there were several students who choose no butter.

Lady Trojans triumph at home CACC softball team sweeps Southern Union in double-header By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor
The Central Alabama Community College softball team had quite a bit of success in front of an enthusiastic home crowd Thursday as the Lady Trojans defeated Southern Union 8-2 in the top half of Thursday’s division double-header. “It was a big win,” said Lady Trojans head coach Greg Shivers. CACC started things off by scoring a run in the first inning. But Southern Union rallied in the third with two runs of their own for a 2-1 lead over the Lady Trojans. CACC answered in the fourth inning with a pair of runs that regained the Lady Trojans’ lead. The first of those vital runs in the fourth came courtesy of CACC freshman Ashton Fielding of Rockford, whose RBI triple sent freshman Taylor Hutto of Alexander City home after she had just hit a double. “I think I did very well,” Fielding said of the play. “We were just needing a hit and the pitcher threw one.” Fielding went home in the next play on an RBI single from sophomore Cheyenne Bryant. Fielding, Hutto and freshman Shatima Smith all had success at the plate with two hits each. Hutto earned the win for CACC. In four and a third innings on the pitcher’s mound she had two strikeouts and a WHIP of 1.38. “I feel like it was an all-around win for everybody with opportunities for everybody hitting,” she said. “I thought it was a good win for everybody.” Shivers agreed. “We did a good job,” the coach said. “We did well in the circle and played good defense.” But even with the win, Shivers still felt there was room for improvement from his team. “We found a way to grind that one out,” he said. “We didn’t play our best but we found a way to win, which is good. Hopefully we can continue that.” Striving to maintain that momentum through the second half of the double-header was especially important for CACC. “When you’re in division play, you don’t know which game is going to get you into the tournament,” Shivers said. “We’re trying to win the division. So hopefully we can win the

next one as well.” The Lady Tigers did just that. With a 3-2 win of the double-header’s second half, CACC swept the day. Thursday’s wins bring the Lady
Trojans’ spring record to 24-14. The CACC softball team plays at home again Saturday as the Lady Trojans host a double-header against Wallace Hanceville. The first pitch is at 2 p.m.
