StillWaters emerging from the past Home starts have taken off in last two years By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
The gated community of StillWaters on the shores of Lake Martin has been around for more than 40 years. Just because the development has changed hands and management models, does not mean things are not going well. “There have been more than 40 new residential property building permits issued since January 2017,” StillWaters
Residential Association’s Kevin Eason said. “More than 30 vacant lots have changed hands in that time frame too.” To give an idea of how things are going, in the previous five years, only 12 building permits were issued and six lots sold. Part of the resurgence is a new neighborhood coming to StillWaters – The Hideaway. “This was just approved,” Eason said. “That is where we had five larger See STILLWATERS • Page 12
This piece of property is being developed into 24 cottage sites. Some of them will be on the water, but all will have access to the lake through dedicated boat slips and include a pool and bath house for Hideaway residents. Cliff Williams / The Outlook

The Alexander City Lions Club awarded $15,000 to local charities and encouraged Lions to invite new members Thursday during the civic club’s 80th anniversary banquet at Willow Point Country Club. “This is not your grandfather’s club,” said Scott Davis, this year’s president of the oldest civic club in Alexander City. “Lions is a launch pad for community service and community revitalization in 200 countries across the world.” The club’s commitment to community service extended across the area as checks were handed out to benefit the Adelia M. Russell Library, the Autism Society, BRHS Leo Club, Lake Martin Area Boys & Girls Club, Children’s Harbor, Disabled American Veterans – Bill Nichols Chapter, Lake Martin Animal Shelter, Meals on Wheels, Tallapoosa’s Caring Refuge, Tallapoosa Christian Crisis Center and others.

Having read a number of works by author John Maxwell, Cochran has encouraged his teachers to be involved in a book study on Maxwell’s work, “Make Today Count,” adding that much more to the process of building positive leaders.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 15-year-old girl and a sophomore in high school. Last year I went to school across the country. While I was there, I became best friends with this girl, “Amelia.” We did everything together, and Amelia even flew back here to visit my family when school ended and I had to go home. It has now been a few months since I’ve seen her, and so much has changed. She doesn’t make time to text or call me hardly ever, and when she does, it’s always a quick conversation. Because of the time difference and our schedules, I get that it’s difficult, but shouldn’t she make some time for her best friend? Amelia and I were as close as sisters, and I can’t stand the thought of losing her. I have already called her out a few times, and we are good for a few days, but then she goes right back to pretending like I don’t exist. I’d rather not call her out again. Any thoughts? -- FARAWAY FRIEND IN MARYLAND DEAR FRIEND: Rather

than “call her out,” it’s time to lighten up. Stop trying to make Amelia feel guilty for not giving you the attention she was able to when you were geographically closer. If there’s one thing I have learned about friendships, it’s that they tend to ebb and flowBecause you now live apart, concentrate on building other relationships with people close by. This doesn’t mean you can’t remain friendly with Amelia; it simply means you are expecting more from her than she’s able to give you. DEAR ABBY: The holidays are approaching, and with them a problem. I recently moved back to my hometown after being away for many years, and I was eagerly look-
ing forward to spending the holidays with my daughter. She has just informed me that she’s joining a religion that doesn’t celebrate holidays, not even Thanksgiving or birthdays. I would never stand in the way of her chosen path, but I’d still like to be able to include her in family get-togethers. I just don’t know how. Any suggestions? -- MISSING HER ALREADY DEAR MISSING HER: Although you will no longer be able to celebrate the holidays with your daughter, you and the rest of the family can still see her and socialize. Talk to her about it and let her set the ground rules. As long as you are respectful, I’m sure she will be glad to give you suggestions about what you CAN do together.
daughter-in-law. One of my doctors, standing close to her and right next to my bed, asked for and was granted permission to ask her a personal question -- “What happened to your husband?” Was it insensitive of him to ask that in my presence? -UNSURE IN OKLAHOMA DEAR UNSURE: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your son. The doctor asked for permission to inquire about something personal and it was granted. That said, if the doctor was aware that you had lost your son a short time ago and your daughter-in-law was a widow, the question could have been asked privately because death is often a subject that’s painful to discuss when a person is grieving.

Kavanaugh debacle cost Democrats the Senate
Thanks to all B veterans for their service
he Lake Martin community is an incredible place to live. We’ve said that time and time again. While we are blessed with great scenery, abundant natural resources and an overall great quality of life, the greatest asset here is our people. That has never been more evident than this week as time and time again the area honored veterans with several programs and ceremonies. Schools around the area held Veterans Day ceremonies. To see how school children are showing love, appreciation and respect for those who served this great country has been refreshing to say the least. Bill Nichols has a tribute planned Sunday. In today’s paper there are tributes to veterans that family and friends purchased to show their special veteran just how they feel about their service. We can never thank our veterans enough, but it sure is nice to see our community work so hard to recognize them on and around the day that was set aside for them. Sunday is Veterans Day. It’s a day that belongs to all veterans throughout history who have served their country to thank them for their service. No matter how long they served, Sunday honors the fact our veterans answered the call to serve our nation and did everything asked of them. Veterans Day is a time when we should all take time to seek out a veteran, shake their hand, give them a hug or salute them. We should take time to listen to their story and let it be stored in our memory forever. It is those stories that allow us the freedoms we have today. We thank our area veterans and thank the people here for doing their part to honor them this week.

rett Kavanaugh must have been smiling as the returns came in on Election Day, because it is now clear the Democrats’ campaign to destroy him will go down as a massive blunder. It failed to keep Kavanaugh off the court. It cost Democrats their chance to regain control of the Senate. And it gave Republicans an expanded Senate majority that will allow them to confirm an even more conservative justice next time around. Today, Kavanaugh sits on the Supreme Court hearing cases. Meanwhile, Democratic Sens. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), Joe Donnelly (D-IN) and Claire McCaskill (D-MO), are packing up their Senate offices — thrown out by voters furious over their party’s brutal campaign of character assassination against Kavanaugh. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), was the only Democrat who voted for Kavanaugh, and he survived — but just barely. Two weeks before Election Day, Manchin was leading by double digits, but on Tuesday night he won by just over three points. Had he voted against Kavanaugh’s confirmation, he would likely have been toast as well. The Democrats’ smear campaign also cost them the chance to pick up GOP seats. In Tennessee, Rep. Marsha Blackburn was trailing former Democratic governor Phil Bredesen by five points in a CNN poll before the Kavanaugh hearings. She ended up winning by just under 11 points, as the Democrats’ mistreatment of Kavanaugh united Tennessee Republicans behind her. The Kavanaugh smear no doubt also played a role in energizing GOP voters in Arizona, where Republican Rep. Martha McSally appears to have squeezed out a narrow victory, and in Texas, where Sen. Ted Cruz defeated Rep. Beto O’Rourke by just 2.6 points in one of the reddest
MARC THIESSEN Columnist states in the union. None of that might have been possible had it not been for the Democrats’ horrific treatment of Kavanaugh. As Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell put it, the failed effort to stop Kavanaugh was “like an adrenaline shot” for the GOP base. Republican voters were outraged to see a good man accused, without a shred of corroboration, of sexually assaulting a teenage girl, exposing himself to a college classmate and participating in gang rapes in high school. They were disgusted by Senate Democrats’ insistence that the burden was on Kavanaugh to prove he didn’t do it and by Democrats’ blatant disregard for the presumption of innocence. They were energized by Kavanaugh’s willingness to fight back and declare his treatment by Democrats a “national disgrace.” And they punished the perpetrators of that disgrace at the polls on Tuesday. Now Republicans have not only an expanded Senate majority but also a pro-life majority. Reports indicated that Trump was close to nominating Judge Amy Coney Barrett, a devout Catholic and mother of seven, to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy. Barrett became a folk hero among religious conservatives after Diane Feinstein (D-CA), ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, grilled her over her Catholic faith during her confirmation hearings as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit last year. “The dogma lives loudly within you,” Feinstein told Barrett, suggesting her faith disqualified her. That out-
raged conservatives, who rightly castigated Feinstein for applying an unconstitutional religious test on Trump’s nominee. As Harvard Law School professor Noah Feldman explained, Feinstein “insinuated an anti-Catholic stereotype that goes back at least 150 years in the U.S. — that Catholics are unable to separate church and state because they place their religious allegiances before their oath to the Constitution.” Barrett was confirmed for the Circuit Court. But when it came to the Supreme Court, Trump calculated that with a razor thin-GOP majority he needed what was supposed to be a safer pick and went with Kavanaugh instead. Now, with an expanded, pro-life Senate majority, Trump no longer has to worry about losing a few GOP votes next time around. At every stage of recent Supreme Court fights, Democrats have miscalculated. Their mindless decision to filibuster Neil Gorsuch paved the way for Senate Republicans to get rid of the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees — which made it possible to confirm Kavanaugh by simple majority. And if Barrett ever makes it onto the Supreme Court, Democrats can thank their horrific, defamatory treatment Kavanaugh. The lesson for Democrats should be clear: Character assassination does not pay. Quite the opposite, it backfired — big time.

Letter to the Editor
Vietnam vet reflects, reminds us of huge price paid
Dear Editor, It has now been more than 43 years since Saigon fell and the Vietnam War ended. Yet, the raw open wounds of that conflict remain with America today. America lost 58,193 young men over there — the best and brightest we had to offer. We went because our nation called — it was the right thing to do. Our generation as a whole at the time did not question the cause or the politics; we just obediently served. Growing up in the rural farmland of northern Alabama, we cherished the camaraderie and companionship of kids our age. There were three of us near the same age — school buddies who also picked cotton and plowed the fields together. Harold was the oldest of the three, joining the Army before being drafted. Pee Wee was the smarter and middle one of us who was drafted but excelled becoming an officer and helicopter pilot. I was the youngest, waiting until having received a draft call then volunteering for the Air Force. As to be expected during that
era, we all three ended up in Vietnam. I was the last to ship out, but also the first to return. I had hardly gotten accustomed to civilian life when Harold’s mom and dad received the dreaded visit from U.S. Army Casualty Response unit. Harold had been on patrol with his unit when he tried to disarm a Claymore mine. Something terrible went wrong and he screamed at his fellow troops ordering them back as the mine exploded, leaving very little of him. His funeral service was heart wrenching as the honor guard offered the flag to his dad who refused to accept it. Less than two months later, the somber Army unit visited our little community once again. Pee Wee flew combat helicopters in Vietnam and was scheduled to be off that day. Yet, he volunteered to fly humanitarian missions ferrying women and kids safely out of the fire zone. A chopper was hit by ground fire and he died in the subsequent crash. Once again, our little community made the trek up the hill to the community cemetery to say goodbye to another contribution to the war effort. I have visited the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington
more than once locating Harold and Pee Wee’s names. As I stand there fighting back the tears, I keep thinking they and the other 58,191 names are so much more than names on a granite wall. I still have feelings of some guilt questioning of why I came back unscathed while our little community gave so much. Even during World Wars I and II, this area did not suffer such loss. We did not question the purpose of the war then or now — even when we rotated back to the states and were told to change into civilian clothes as soon as possible after landing in America to avoid being spit upon and called baby killers by war protesters. We were brothers who fought without America’s support, who returned without America’s welcome and brothers who will always be the best America had of that generation. This Veterans Day, please take a pause and reflect back to price our veterans have paid for that war in many more ways than just on the field of combat. They still deserve that! God bless America. James W. Anderson Talladega

The Wetumpka Herald
PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Reach out to a loved one, possibly a child, to make some afternoon plans. Consider going ice skating and topping oɈ the adventure with roasted chestnuts or hot chocolate. Keep your plans as traditional as possible. Tonight: Use caution with money, and count your change. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) One-on-one relating helps warm up a relationship and creates a greater sense of trust and sensitivity. Others could become pushy and diɉcult. Just try to go with the Åow. You certainly aren’t going to change anyone. Tonight: You suddenly might decide to go somewhere else. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Defer to others who seem to have too many ideas. As a result, making plans could be diɉcult. Be logical when making choices. Out of frustration, you could decide to do something diɈerent with diɈerent people. Avoid pushing someone away. Tonight: With a good friend. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be out of sorts, no matter what someone does to make you smile. Even if you are not amused, be gracious and smile anyway. Refuse to cause a problem or take oɈ in a diɈerent direction. Today is just a wacky day. Tonight: Where you are, a party seems to emerge. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Use today for an activity you love. Do not hesitate to ask someone else to join you. You could have a last-minute change of plans because of an unexpected development. Make a call and explain to others why you will not be able to join them. Tonight: Go with the Åow. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your intensity marks whatever you choose to do. You initially might be overwhelmed by the choices you have made and the direction you decide to head in. You are likely to hear news that pushes you onto a new path. Listen to what a friend shares. Tonight: Let the games begin.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Make an eɈort to reach out to someone. Your feelings could be changeable yet intense. Recognize how much you are cared for. Express your aɈection as well. Return all calls before you make plans. As a result, you might decide to adjust your schedule. Tonight: All smiles. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be smart and clear out your errands before meeting up with others. You might have a joyous time once you Änish some of your to-dos. Avoid going overboard. If someone encourages you to do just that, you should wonder about his or her motive. Tonight: Let the good times roll. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Make the most of the day. The Moon in your sign highlights you and your concerns. You could turn this day into a fun and wild period where you let go and have a great time. If you need to approach someone who is very important to you, do so. Tonight: Be a bit more spontaneous. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you feel like making plans that please you, do so, by all means. Your sense of humor emerges when speaking to a child or loved one. This person could say something so inappropriate in a conversation that it strikes you as hysterical. Tonight: Where the action is. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Accept an invitation that puts you right where your friends are. Whether you do some early holiday shopping or get together for a fun game of racquetball matters very little -- it is the company that counts. Reach out to an older relative. Tonight: At a favorite place with friends. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Pressure builds to help others, whether you’re planning a party, putting in overtime to Änish a project or helping your sweetie paint the dining room. You will enjoy heading down a diɈerent path. In fact, you could be delighted to try something new. Tonight: Make plans with friends.

Local Verizon recognizing veterans STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
Round Room LLC, the nation’s largest Verizon Authorized Wireless Retailer, recently announced it will recognize veterans at more than 550 of its TCC stores in honor of Veterans Day. This Sunday, each participating TCC location, including the one in The Marketplace of Alexander City, will host a Veterans Appreciation Event, distributing service pins and recognizing each veteran for their service. The store will open its doors 30 minutes earlier than normal to service only veterans and their families. Employees will be on-site, answering question about service contracts and identifying qualifying promotions, as well as signing up active service members for military discounts. “This is our second annual Veterans Rock event, and we are ecstatic to continue recognizing deserving service men and women in communities across the country,” Round Room CEO Scott Moorehead said in a press release. “This initiative is just a small token of our appreciation and gratitude
for those who have served, and we look forward to putting a smile on their faces.” TCC encourages qualified active and veteran military members and their spouses to explore career opportunities with the company. With locations in 39 states, TCC works to transfer employed military members or their spouses to a new TCC location if they have to move. Aside from transfer opportunities, TCC gives all employees paid volunteer days, paid time off, promotional opportunities, sales contests, tuition reimbursements and more. TCC also makes ongoing investments in the local communities where it operates through its Culture of Good movement. Earlier this year, the company donated more than 187,000 backpacks filled with school supplies at TCC and Wireless Zone stores across the country, gave supply packs to more than 5,000 teachers across the U.S. and provided 3,000 care kits to senior living communities. The company’s non-profit organization, TCC Gives, recently surpassed $1 million in donations to local non-profits.

guests at the celebration event in the Willow Point Ballroom. Among the first service projects the local Lions adopted was the high school marching band, which needed uniforms and transportation to games. The Lions raised money for the band through concessions sales at the ball field. In addition, the club provided free eye exams for indigent children through the Alabama Lions Sight Bus, a mobile ophthalmologist office. Members personally arranged surgeries for children who could not afford necessary medical care. “That kind of thing makes me a champion of the Lions Club – all of us are champions,” Abernathy said. The Alexander City club also sponsored seven new clubs in the area, including clubs in Camp Hill, Dadeville, Rockford and Sylacauga. Lions district governor Mark Aldridge, who traveled to Alexander City for the celebration, noted the organization combats the underrated status of humans. “We live in the age of the rise of the robots, in which so many jobs are mechanized. Robots cannot meet interpersonal needs, cooperate in groups or offer empathy,” Aldridge said. “The Lions Code of Ethics states that Lions are citizens of their nation, state and community and give freely of their time and means; Lions give aid
to the weak and substance to the needy; and Lions are careful with their criticism and liberal with their praise. “We are the Lions Club.” Executive director of the Alabama Lions Sight Conservation Association Barry Elliott congratulated the local club on its important anniversary. He recalled the words of Helen Keller, who in 1918 inspired the mission of sight to the Lions Club, challenging club members to become knights of the blind. “‘Alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much,’ those are the words of Helen Keller. Today, because of your sweat equity in the Lake Martin Lions Club Poker Run and the concession sales, you are making a difference,” Elliott said. “In one year’s time, this club has recommended 65 people from Tallapoosa County to the Lions Clinic at Callahan Eye Clinic in Birmingham.” Anyone interested in joining the Alexander City Lions Club is encouraged to contact Scott Davis at 256-596-2392 or Jeff LaMonica at 256-496-1403; email Davis at sdavis315@yahoo.com or LaMonica at jlamonica@russelllands.com or visit the club’s Facebook page. “The more we can grow the club – especially with young people – the more good we can do in our community,” LaMonica said.

HEADED TO STATE
Reid shouldn’t have been ejected for hit on Big Ben
D
on’t get me wrong — I’m all for protecting players’ safety. There’s nothing more gut-wrenching when covering a high school sporting event than seeing a kid laid out on the ground with an injury or writing a story about a senior who just had his season cut short because he was hurt while playing the game he loves. That being said, there’s also something of an intrinsic risk to playing sports. If you take on that risk, you pretty much know what you’re getting yourself into. And there’s really no avoiding it, regardless of the sport. Some would say baseball players have a lower risk because it’s a non-contact sport, but I’ve seen some pretty nasty injuries at baseball games and countless pitchers have been plagued by elbow and shoulder ailments. Most people these days are terrified of allowing their kids to play football. Concussions and head injuries are a scary thing, for sure, and I have no problem with league administration coming up with rules and strategies to try to cut down on those types of injuries. But there’s trying to cut down and there’s taking it too far. The rule about no hits on defenseless receivers makes perfect sense. A guy who has left his feet to make a catch shouldn’t have unnecessary contact made against him. In 2005, the NCAA made all helmet-to-helmet hits illegal, intentional or not. Think about that. While a player is trained to tackle correctly and wrap up the waist rather than the shoulder, it’s almost impossible to entirely avoid all helmet-to-helmet contact. It’s football after all. The reason I bring all this up is to take a look at Thursday night’s ejection of Carolina Panthers safety Eric Reid for a hit on Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. I’ll admit I’m not a fan of Roethlisberger, but looking at this completely objectively, Roethlisberger elected to tuck and run. He did so knowing he’d be running straight up the middle — he wasn’t being chased out of bounds. When a quarterback decides to run, he becomes a running back, plain and simple. Looking at this quickly and in the moment, it looks bad for Reid. While Roethlisberger was already in the middle of his slide, Reid lowers his shoulder into Big Ben’s helmet while he was going to go down anyway. But in Reid’s defense, this all happened within literally a split second. All football plays happen so quickly, and players are trained to “see ball, get ball.” Also, it’s not like Roethlisberger was at midfield; the Steelers were in the red zone, and a defense’s job is to make sure the other team doesn’t score. There was also pretty clearly no intent behind Reid’s hit. He didn’t make contact after Roethlisberger was already down; he also didn’t elongate contact. Moreover, he distinctly apologized to Roethlisberger immediately following the incident. I can understand a penalty for Reid, but an ejection seems unnecessary and over the top. “It was a bang-bang play,” Reid told ESPN.com. “I was trying to do my job. I understand the NFL is trying to protect the quarterback, but when they run the ball, they’re a running back. There’s a guy running, so I’m doing my job. … I’m running full speed. I’m just trying to do my job.” The point in all this is in order to keep football thriving, it’s important to try to maintain a level of safety for the players. But football is football, and it’s not an easy game to play. Lizi Arbogast is the sports editor of The Outlook.

HBS girls team, one boy individual qualify for state By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
In just the second year in its existence, Horseshoe Bend’s cross country team is already making a name for itself. The Generals’ girls team took third overall at the Class 1A/2A Section 2 meet last weekend and will head to the state championships today. Joining the girls will be Jarrett Bice, a Horseshoe Bend sophomore who qualified as an individual. “It’s crazy with the fact that four of (the girls) are middle schoolers, so I’m sitting here thinking how can I keep them happy and on my team?” Horseshoe Bend girls coach Emily Rasbury said. “What are they going to do when they are senior high kids?” Members of the girls team who qualified for state are senior Baylor Turner, freshman Stacy Peters, eighth-grader Brityn Spence
and seventh-graders Rebecca Rasbury and Katie Rasbury. Although none of the Generals had incredible finishes in term of the individual standings, they all grouped together as a team with the top runner finishing less than 10 places ahead of the fifth runner. Rebecca Rasbury paced the Generals at sectionals, taking 24th place overall with a time of 30:26.07. Peters, Spence and Katie Rasbury then all finished back to back. Peters took 27th in 30:58.84, and Spence followed right behind in 28th place with a time of 31:01.28. Katie Rasbury came in just 12 seconds behind Spence for 29th place. Rounding out the thirdplace team finish was Baylor Turner, who earned 33rd place in 33:56.94. “Baylor is our only senior, and she really thought that sectionals was her last race,” coach Rasbury said. “She had gotten geared up and
almost ready to cry, so when they announced that we took third, she was ecstatic.” While all five runners have consistently improved and any of them could be the top runner for the Generals in today’s state meet, coach Rasbury said to look out for Rebecca Rasbury. Rebecca also played volleyball for Horseshoe Bend this season, but since the volleyball season ended, she has consistently improved on the cross country courses. “She was able to practice with us more and really concentrate on running,” coach Rasbury said. “She’s really worked hard the last week since sectionals on her ending, on sprinting, getting the stride long, getting her knees up. “I’m also really looking out for Stacy, who is our ninth grader and she is built like a runner. She struggled when it was so hot with her asthma, but she can control that breathing now and when
she gets going, she is a great runner.” On the boys side, Bice squeezed into 25th place with a time of 22:13.97 to earn a wild card spot to state. “For him, I’m hoping to get his time down,” Rasbury said. “I think this has been a wonderful thing for him because it’s one thing to qualify as a team; it’s great. But he qualified as an individual, so it was all him and all his time. I’m really looking for him to PR (today).” In addition to competing in the state meet, which is today at Oakville, Rasbury is excited for her team to get the experience. “We have talked to them about how for them it’s all about exposure,” she said. “We expect them to be there again, so we want them to see what it’s like. For me as a coach, I want them to get a taste of what it’s like to be there. We just want them to have their best runs.”

parcels that we are going to allow them to be put together. All houses will have a boat slip and there will be a community pool.” Eason said there are four house plans homeowners can chose from. With limited waterfront options for new home builds in StillWaters, Eason says a new boating facility under construction could encourage sales of interior lots. “They are building a new storage facility,” Eason said. “It will have wet slips and fuel docks. It will have 350 dry storage spaces. It is going to double their capacity.” The issue is currently there is nowhere in StillWaters to put a boat if someone purchases an interior lot. “They have like a two-year waiting list (for dry storage),” Eason said. “I think that it is going to help some of our interior lots sell more. Right now if you come to buy a piece of property, there is really is no place to put your boat. With that opening up, you don’t have to live on the water. They can put in the water for you and take it out.” StillWaters currently has 1,819 residential properties and vacant lots. About 1,100 are residential units including condos, villas and homes. There are just over 1,100 registered voters inside the gates. And there are still several large parcels that have not been platted in StillWaters that could take the number of available residential properties over 3,500. The community has been through several hands over the decades since it was created by Cecil Duffey. Coosa Resorts has owned the facility; the FDIC ran it for a few years. “Then Retirement Systems of Arizona Baptist had us until they went bankrupt,” Eason said. “Then in 2003, after the auction, the developer rights went away.”
Cliff Williams / The Outlook
Growth is apparent all around the StillWaters community.
Before 2003, neighborhood councils met to try to come to agreements on how to approach the developers. Now the StillWaters Residential Association (SWRA) is managing the community. “We have only been here for 14 years,” Eason said. “Up until of October 2003, StillWaters was developer controlled.” One of the issues created by so many hands having controlled the community is there are four sets of covenants governing property. There is limited commercial property in StillWaters, like where the new boat storage facility is going and the old conference center, none are owned by SWRA. “There are some other properties here like the old conference center, some people think it is ours,” Eason said. “It never was. It was always developer owned.” Many of these properties have been
bought and sold over the years prior to SWRA to individuals and business. According to Eason, those properties do not fall under the covenants but the SWRA does work with them to make sure the possible commercial uses fit the neighborhoods in StillWaters. Some of the neighborhoods in StillWaters have created their own homeowners associations and according to Eason still fall under the base of SWRA. There are 13 of these sub-associations that have fees beyond the nearly $500 a year property owners pay. Some of those have their own features, like pools and beaches that are not open to the rest of StillWaters. Eason explained between StillWaters being passed through several hands to get to SWRA and the sub-association creates much of the confusion in the community, but the homeowners association still has control of what homes and neighborhoods
look like through the architectural review committee. “SWRA architectural review committee has to approve everything that is built here,” Eason said. “If someone wants to paint their home, they have to come to the architectural review committee.” The committee controls everything from paint color to controlling to what some of the exterior features of homes can look like. The growth has caused some property owners to look unfavorably at some of the construction. “Our architectural review committee does a good job at controlling that growth,” Eason said. “It is hard for folks that have been here 30 years to deal with change. Thirty years ago when your home was built there was construction work, some muddy roads. Now on that vacant lot, a new house is being built. It is an inconvenience but once it is finished there is a new nice neighbor.” Eason said there will be no more developers in StillWaters but some will still call themselves that. “Now there cannot be any more developers in StillWaters,” Eason explained. “Remember, some will build one or two homes and call themselves a developer, but there will not be a StillWaters developer.” Eason explained ultimately StillWaters is for residents seeking a lifestyle, not vacationers. “We are not a vacation community,” he said. “We are a gated community on the lake. We are made up of people who live here year-round and for others, this is a second home. We don’t allow rentals on our houses for less than 30 days. Some of the condos can be rented for less than that. There are no more timeshares. We are not a resort. We don’t have something you can come to and vacation, but we do have a resort lifestyle.”

said. “We want to try and create leaders across the board. The point is that everyone has to buy in. You need to make that the end goal, then put the resources towards it to help students become a leader in whatever they choose.” While the plan of building positive leaders across the board was initially Cochran’s vision, he said the students and teachers are the ones really running the program now. “Our students want to be successful,” Cochran said. “Our teachers want our students to be successful. The community has bought into it as well, and everything has just compounded upon itself. I cranked the engine and it’s gained a lot of momentum since. Once you get the ball rolling and it becomes successful, everyone buys into it.” One thing Cochran stresses to his students is how they have the ability to choose who they want to be. Whether they want to be below average, average or one of the handful who rise up and become exceptional, it is their choice to make. There were an untold number of examples Cochran said demonstrated how everyone has been buying into the process, but there were a handful that stuck out in his mind. “Last school year, we had 120 college class credits awarded to our students,” he said. “We maintain a high percentage of students who are college and career ready. Our graduation rate has been at or above 90 percent. Part of being a leader revolves around behavior and, last year we saw the fewest amount of office referrals ever. This has been a downward trend for the past 10 years.” While part of the process is about providing opportunities for everyone, Cochran said part of it also involves finding ways to keep improving upon the product. Students and teachers alike have suggested ideas for this, including moving the morning announcements to the lunch period and having them show up on the screen in the
lunchroom, rather than being read out over the intercom system. Not only have the teachers and students bought into the process and are working to improve the school, but Cochran said he has also heard from members of the community wanting to make Reeltown a better place. “Earlier this year, I received a positive letter from a member of our community, someone who didn’t even have a child enrolled here,” Cochran said. “The letter was suggesting a way we could make our car line run more efficiently in the mornings and afternoons.” Cochran has been in education for 22 years, half of which have been spent as the principal at Reeltown High School. Before taking the position in Tallapoosa County, he taught social studies at Jefferson Davis High School in the Montgomery County system and was a principal in the Montgomery County system for four years as well. “I felt excited and energized to have the support of the Tallapoosa County Board of Education and the community when I was hired here,” Cochran said. One of the biggest issues Cochran feels Reeltown faces is not unique to his school. “Funding is always a key issue for us,” Cochran said. “We have great people here, and the components for action are here. However, we must have money to run our programs. I feel we can overcome this challenge, but the lack of funding can hold us back.” While there are issues to overcome and work through, Cochran believes the school is definitely on the right track moving forward. “I would like to see us continue to improve and offer more opportunities for students to do what they want after graduation, no matter who they are and no matter what their background is,” he said. “We assessed where we wanted to go and focused on opportunity. Student success, that’s the key.”

Benjamin Russell falls victim to Spanish Fort again By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

ust like the Joker could never defeat Batman or Lex Luthor always succumbed to Superman’s powers, Benjamin Russell once again met its match against Spanish Fort on Friday night. For the fourth time in their postseason history, the Wildcats faced off against the Toros, and for the fourth time, Spanish Fort was too much to handle for Benjamin Russell’s football team. From the get go, the Wildcats look outmanned and outmatched, and it resulted in a 38-0 defeat in the first round of the Class 6A playoffs. “Well, we just got down early, and we didn’t play as well as we could
have,” Benjamin Russell senior Kobi Crabb said. Giving Spanish Fort (10-1) short fields seemed to be the name of the game for the Wildcats (6-5), who suffered their worst ever playoff defeat Friday night. Benjamin Russell’s initial kickoff returner’s feet slipped from beneath him, and the Wildcats started their opening drive from their own 10. Four plays later, a bad punt allowed Spanish Fort to take over just outside the red zone. The Toros capitalized on their second play from scrimmage when Nick Passarelli connected with Kris Abrams for an 11-yard touchdown. On the ensuing kickoff, the Wildcats’ returner once again had his feet come out from under him, and BRHS was See BRHS • Page 3

forced to start from its own 5. Although it got its first first down of the night — thanks in large part to a penalty against SFHS — it couldn’t get beyond midfield and once again punted to the Toros, who started inside enemy territory. “We’ve seen some good teams,” Benjamin Russell coach Kevin Smith said. “We played Opelika and Wetumpka both, and I think (Spanish Fort is) a lot like Opelika. They’re kind of built like them, but we just can’t give them short yardage like that. We couldn’t stay on our feet. We just kept falling.” Spanish Fort once again capitalized, as Christopher Franklin broke a run straight up the middle, tugged off a defender to get free and went 14 yards to the end zone. On the Toros’ next drive, Benjamin Russell finally put together a strong defensive stop. Two Spanish Fort passes fell incomplete, and Deshaun Gonzalez stopped SFHS’ Conner Hegan in the backfield, forcing the Toros to punt. But Benjamin Russell fumbled the return, allowing Spanish Fort’s offense to once again set up deep inside enemy territory. This time, the Toros scored on a 5-yard rush by Mike Gaffney. Before the end of the first quarter, the Wildcats trailed 21-0 and they never came close to recovering. Benjamin Russell put together its best drive of the night, as it forced itself to run, calling Keedon Young’s number over and over again. Starting from its own 21, BRHS got past midfield for the first time all night. But a sack to Wildcat quarterback Landon Cotney stopped the potential threat, and Benjamin Russell was held scoreless the rest of the way. “I thought Keedon ran as hard tonight as he has all season,” Smith said. “A lot of it wasn’t him. I thought he played about as good as he played (all year).” Benjamin Russell also got a spark in the form of sophomore Elijah Spivey on that drive. Spivey moved into the middle receiver position and had a pair

of long catches from Cotney, each one going for a first down. “Carter (Smith, Benjamin Russell’s backup quarterback) is excited about throwing to (Spivey) next year and going forward,” coach Smith said. “He’s just a such a rangey guy. You can put it pretty much anywhere in his vicinity and he can catch it.” Although Benjamin Russell was disappointed with the loss to end the
season, it did look back favorably on Smith’s first season at the helm. “Well, getting a new head coach, things are different,” Crabb said. “But we just wanted to stay focused and continue to keep the tradition and grind it out, and we definitely accomplished some of our goals.” Smith said, “How do I evaluate it? I think we kinda got started; that’s about what I could say. It’s almost like getting
through that first day of practice, and now I just want to get back and really look at what’s coming back offensively and defensively. We want to fit our system as much to what we’ve got coming back as possible. “It’s been a good year though. The staff works really hard. The kids worked really hard. We’ve got some really good kids, and I think they deserve better than this.”

ONTO ROUND 2 Wetumpka advances behind strong rushing attack By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
W
etumpka entered Friday night’s game with a new offensive plan. However, before the first quarter ended, the team was back to doing what it does best. As a team, Wetumpka rushed for 424 yards and scored six touchdowns on the ground in its 49-21 win over Daphne at Hohenberg Field. The victory sends Wetumpka into the final 16 of the Class
6A playoffs. “We came into the game wanting to be balanced and throw the ball a little bit,” Wetumpka coach Tim Perry said. “We knew they would be lining up eight guys in the box and we didn’t know if we would be able to run the ball as effectively. But as we were controlling the line of scrimmage, we were able to come out and run the ball.” Quarterback Tyquan Rawls got things started for Wetumpka. After the two teams traded punts on their opening possessions, Rawls gave the offense a boost with a 42-yard keeper to set his See WETUMPKA • Page 6

Wetumpka team up inside Daphne territory. Wetumpka used eight rushing plays to drive 83 yards to take the first lead of the game. De’Angelo Jones scored his first of three touchdowns on a 1-yard run. Jones added another touchdown on his next carry. Rawls once again did the heavy lifting on an 80-yard drive but Jones found the end zone on a short carry to give Wetumpka a 14-0 lead. “We told our team all week that Daphne is a better team than their record indicated,” Perry said. “Everybody has to elevate and play at a high level in the playoffs. These guys bought in.” Rawls completed three passes on the team’s next drive, connecting with E.J. Rogers for a 3-yard touchdown pass. Daphne responded with a touchdown of its own but Wetumpka took a 21-7 lead into halftime. Wetumpka got the ball first in the second half and the offense wasted no time in getting back to work. After a long kickoff return by Malik Davis, Rawls used two runs to get the offense inside the 5-yard line. Jones took over once again, scoring his final touchdown of the night on a 3-yard run. Rawls finished the night with 216 rushing yards and 67 passing yards and accounting for one touchdown. Jones had only 26 yards on 11 carries but his three touchdowns helped put the game out of reach early. Late in the third quarter, the rushing load was handed off to Terrance Thomas. After rushing for just 43 yards in the first half, Thomas found the end zone twice in the final two quarters of the game. He finished with 153 yards on nine carries, including a 38-yard touchdown run which put the game away with 10:09 to go. “I saw an opportunity and took it,” Thomas said. “You never know if there will be a next time so you have to take the opportunity.” Thomas did not make his only contributions on the offensive side of the

ball. With Wetumpka’s Darren Nolen out with an injury, Thomas was put at defensive end to help with the pass rush. He finished with 1.5 sacks in the game. “He’s just so explosive,” Perry said. “We did this last year with Kavosiey Smoke, bringing him in on third downs and bringing him off the edge, because he’s just so athletic and so explosive. Terrance is too so we felt like he could cause some problems.”
Daphne was held to 242 yards of offense with most of it coming on the ground. The Trojans couldn’t find any rhythm in the passing game because of constant pressure in the backfield. “We were able to make the right reads,” Indians defensive tackle Kamyron Jackson said. “We kept pressure on the quarterback all night long. It felt great.” Wetumpka advances to the second round of the playoffs for the sec-

The players believe they are capable of a return to the state championship game but they feel like there is still room to improve. “We have a week to prepare now and we have time to fix anything,” Thomas said. “We have great bonding on our team so that can take us a long way.” Wetumpka will travel to Tuscaloosa to face Hillcrest next week.

Daleville 26, Reeltown 21
Jim Denney / For Tallapoosa Publishers
Reeltown’s Trey O’Neal runs against Daleville. Coach Matt Johnson said the Rebels ‘just couldn’t stop’ the Warhawks on Friday night.
‘COULDN’T STOP THEM:’ By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
T
wo fumbles in the fourth quarter was all it took for the Daleville Warhawks to seize momentum and stun the Reeltown Rebels in the first round of the AHSAA Class 2A state playoffs. “We just couldn’t stop them,” Reeltown coach Matt Johnson said. “We had a third and extremely long and a fourth and 20 they converted on and all got points out of, so end of the day, that’s my fault as a head coach and they were just better than us tonight.”
With just over seven minutes to go in the game, Reeltown (8-3) had a first and 10 at the Daleville 37-yard line. However, the Rebels turned the ball over and Warhawk defensive lineman Gabriel Elrod rumbled forward to the Reeltown 35. Daleville (6-4) found paydirt shortly thereafter, despite a pair of false start penalties. After fielding the ensuing kickoff, the Rebels held on to the ball for only two plays before fumbling again, with the Warhawks taking advantage, ramming rush after rush down Reeltown’s throat to score and take a 26-14 lead. The Rebels attempted to mount a comeback, using a facemask and pass interference penalties to score

with 1:47 to go and cut the Warhawks’ lead to 5, but Daleville recovered the subsequent onside kick and sealed away the victory. “I don’t think you can pinpoint one thing,” Johnson said. “We had a long, sustained drive going in and turned the ball over, gave it back to them on an effort play from our kids. They scored and we were going in to score, so I think that flipped the momentum.” Early on, the game looked like it would be a defensive affair, with neither team able to break through. Daleville looked like it might score first when Peanut Bloodsaw found Kentayvis Valrie open for a 41-yard pass on third and 7 from the Warhawks’ 31-yard line. See REELTOWN • Page 9

Daleville’s Kentayvis Valrie pulls in a pass as Reeltown’s Tyvon Waiver defends.
Bloodsaw found Valrie open again to push the ball down to the Reeltown 16, but a strong defensive stand from the Rebels forced Daleville to turn the ball over on downs at the Reeltown 20. Despite Khoner Davis getting picked off on the ensuing Rebel drive, setting the Warhawks up with great field position at the Reeltown 30-yard line, two false starts and a pair of illegal participation penalties backed Daleville up to the Rebels’ 43 and kept the Warhawks from taking advantage of the turnover. Just when it seemed like the game would remain scoreless going into halftime, the Reeltown offense roared to life. Despite a bad snap which backed the Rebels up to a third and 25 at their own 37, Cameron Faison broke off a huge run, carrying the ball all the way down to the Daleville 26, with an incidental facemask tacking on an additional five yards. A 20-yard run from Keke Hughley on the next play set Reeltown up with first and goal on the 1. Trey O’Neal pounded the ball in to give the Rebels a 7-0 lead at the break. Daleville finally found the end zone in the third quarter, when Bloodsaw found Gaje Head open for a 32-yard touchdown on fourth and 14. The twopoint conversion failed, leaving the Rebels with a one-point advantage. Reeltown answered right back when Faison rushed in from 32 yards out, but the Warhawks had an answer again when Jalen White carried the ball in from the Rebels’ 25. Going into the final frame, Reeltown held on to a two-point lead after another conversion attempt was stopped short of the goal line. With the loss, Reeltown’s season comes to an abrupt halt, with Johnson wanting to focus on talking to his seniors one more time before even beginning to worry about the 2019 season. “That’s a tough question,” Johnson said. “At this point right now, I’m just thinking about those seniors in there that we’ve had for three years and just, I hate it for them.”

Saraland rolls past Stanhope Elmore in Round 1 By RANDAL ETHEREDGE For AL.com
C
lass 6A Saraland utilized both big play offense and a ground-and-pound rushing attack to cruise into Round 2 of the 6A tournament. Stanhope Elmore’s opening drive ended with a missed field goal attempt from 29 yards out, and it was all Spartans after that. Despite racking up almost 400 yards of offense, the Mustangs had trouble early in the first half finding the end zone. Two costly turnovers and untimely penalties held them to a shutout in the first two frames. “We just couldn’t finish our drives,” Stanhope Elmore coach Brian Bradford said. “We got inside the
20 three times in the first half and came away with zero points. We just got frustrated and didn’t execute like we should.” The Spartan offense had no trouble finding the end zone, however, behind four rushing touchdowns by running back Karie White. Saraland quarterback Brett Nezat completed 13 of his 16 passes for 258 yards, including one score. “Defensively we gave up some plays because of mental alignment, but their coaching staff did an outstanding job,” Bradford said. “We just didn’t adjust like we should have.” For Stanhope Elmore, late scores in the third and fourth quarter were not enough to overcome a 33-0 deficit. The Mustangs did have the play of the game, which
was a one-handed 46-yard reception by Brandon Dewalt. The freshman beat one-on-one coverage down the middle to reign in high above his defender a spectacular single-handed grab. Despite the loss, Stanhope Elmore quarterback Kerenski McGhee gained a staggering 347 yards to account for the vast majority of the Mustangs’ 392 total yards of offense. McGhee had 224 passing yards to go along with 123 on the ground. “Our defense did a good job in the opening drive to hold them to a field goal attempt and we were able to take it down there and score first drive,” Saraland coach Jeff Kelly said. “I think that kind of set the tone. I’m really proud of our guys, especially the offensive line. They did a great job, they’ve been opening holes all year.”

Knights take down Bulldogs in playoff opener By GRIFFIN PRITCHARD For Tallapoosa Publishers
Holtville took the scenic route into the playoffs, but the end of the ride couldn’t come quick enough as the homestanding Montgomery Catholic Knights crusaded their way to a 41-13 victory. The Knights advance to the second round of the playoffs to face American Christian in the second round of the Class 4A AHSAA playoffs. Holtville returns to the drawing board and begins preparing for the 2019 campaign. “We’ve got a lot to build on,” Bulldogs coach Jason Franklin said. “These guys kept scratching and kept fighting. We return a good nucleus of ballplayers. We are going to return two good quarterbacks and some guys that we know can fill in. We are going to get back to work next week.” The Bulldogs (7-4) took a long and winding
“We’ve got a lot to build on. These guys kept scratching and kept fighting.” — Jason Franklin Holtville coach route into the playoffs with wins over Childersburg, Talladega and Lincoln (and a record-setting 64-point win over rival Marbury to cap the regular season). They had some help on the back-end and
finished the year the No. 3 seed in the region - ending a nearly decade-long playoff drought. “We haven’t been here, and I don’t know if the stage got too big for them,” said Franklin. “I’m proud of our guys for what they’ve done to get us to this point. These seniors, when they were freshmen, I don’t know if they thought they would ever be here with all that they went through. They came in when the (losing) streak was rolling on and they didn’t break until the end of their sophomore year. And then, what they did this year, they’ve busted their tails since last November to get here.” In the playoffs for the first time since 2010, Holtville brought the fight to the Knights’ doorstep. Montgomery Catholic (8-3), however, struck first. Quarterback Christian Ivey completed his first two passes for touchdowns — a 66-yard touchdown pass and run to DJ Carter on their second play from See HOLTVILLE • Page 12

scrimmage then a 33-yard screen pass to Darrell Gibson. “We are really proud of our offense in general,” Knights coach Aubrey Blackwell said. “Our whole team has gotten better. We’ve started a lot of young faces and they’ve all gotten better. I’m really proud of how this year progressed.” Kicker Zach Pappanastos was 1-of-2 on the point after giving the Knights a 13-0 lead. The Bulldog defense put some bite behind its bark and crashed the backfield, forcing Ivey to cough up the football. The recovery set up a 5-yard touchdown pass from Braxton Buck to Dajon Reeves. The point after was blocked and the Bulldogs were within striking distance at 13-6. That pendulum swung just as quickly in the Knights’ favor when a double-pass attempt was picked off by Derrick Parker and returned 20-plus yards for the touchdown. With the point after, the Knights took a 20-6 lead into the intermission. After a time-consuming Knights drive to start the third period, Holtville capitalized on a muffed Knights fair catch to extend their drive. The Bulldogs moved inside the 30 then Buck connected with JaDarius Carter on a 27-yard pass down to the four. A handful of plays later and Drake Baker used the scrum of Bulldogs to lunge into the end zone for the touchdown. With the point after, the Bulldogs were within a chains’ link of leveling the score, 20-13. Things then went south for Holtville. Quickly. An interception set up a 20-yard Gibson touchdown run. Then a second interception set up another Gibson score. “We played relentlessly in this mud,” Blackwell said. “(Gibson) is a work-dog and the guys voted him

Edgewood comes up short against Escambia in semifinals By ANDREW GARNER Atmore Advance
Edgewood Academy left everything on the field Friday night in Canoe. The Wildcats fought back in the second half but came up short 39-31 to No. 5 Escambia Academy in the AISA Class 2A state semifinals. Edgewood’s Kolby Potts’ three touchdowns — two of which came in the third quarter — and 281 rushing yards led the Elmore team. Potts scored on touchdown runs of 80 and 24 yards in the third, and from 5 yards in the fourth. “We gave it everything we got,” Edgewood
coach Darryl Free said. “When we came in here, we said we’d fight to the last buzzer went off.” The Wildcats trailed 12-0 at halftime, and Potts’ two third-quarter touchdowns and a score from quarterback Alex Johnson cut the Cougars’ lead to 26-19 heading into the final period. Johnson’s second touchdown kept the game honest in the fourth quarter with 6:03 left to cut the game to a score of 32-25. However, Escambia Academy’s Patrick McGhee scored his sixth touchdown of the game with 5:51 left to pull ahead 39-25 with the extra point. Less than a minute later, Potts punched the ball from the 5-yard line to make it 39-31.
Edgewood’s third quarter consisted of recovering two fumbles and an onside kick. Both led to scores. “We didn’t have the first half we wanted,” Free said. “Coming out in the second half, we challenged our guys to keep fighting, and we did. We had some things go our way. We made some plays and got a little bit of confidence in the second half. “We almost had a chance to steal one.” McGhee’s first two touchdowns came with more than nine minutes to go in both the first and second quarters. He punched the ball in from 18 and 5 yards, respectively. See EDGEWOOD • Page 15

We just had a lot of mistakes, and a lot of penalties that killed us. We let them out of the hole.” Free said it’s been a special season. “These kids have been through so much,” he said. “To have the opportunity
