WARNING: Despite executive order, gambling is illegal here
Machines similar to this one that were operating this spring remain illegal in Tallapoosa County, officials say, no matter what an executive order by the governor may have people thinking.
By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor
When Gov. Robert Bentley announced that he was issuing an order that stripped Attorney General Luther Strange of the power to enforce the state’s anti-
gambling laws and return that responsibility back to local sheriffs and district attorneys, some nay have took that as a chance to have some type of gambling without fear of the law. Wrong. Local District Attorney E. Paul
Area contractors should look out for new building codes Outlook Staff Writer
By Mitch Sneed
The Dadeville City Council approved a motion to update building codes to the 2012 book pending the Tallapoosa County Commission’s and Alexander City’s adoption of the 2012 codes as well. “This would bring us current to what is being used in the Auburn and Opelika areas,” Dadeville Building Inspector Michael Richardson said. “It would make it easier on the contractors to be on the same standard in area.” Richardson explained to the council that several of the area building inspectors have been meeting to talk about problems and trying to get on the same page to make it easier for everyone involved. Richardson also asked the council about the Board Adjustments which is needed to help rectify problems with building permits. Dadeville currently uses the 2006 building codes.

Bill Nichols vets honored as ‘heroes’ By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor
Wednesday was set aside as a day to honor those who served our nation, but speakers at a special Veterans Day Ceremony at Alexander City’s Bill Nichols Veterans Home said that is something that should be done every day. The message was driven home by featured speaker retired Air Force Commander Delores “Dee” Hardin. “If you are a veteran, I would ask that you raise your hand,” Hardin asked those in the See HEROES, Page 3

It appears as though Alexander City will be without a new budget for a little bit longer. Citing the fact that city employees were off Wednesday for Veterans Day, Mayor Charles Shaw pushed back the deadline for additional cuts until Friday and postponed a planned budget work session that was set for tonight. “Due to the Veterans Day holiday, we have decided that the reworked department budgets will not be due until Friday afternoon,” Shaw wrote in an email to council members “After these new budgets are reviewed, we plan to have a work session on Tuesday, Nov. 17 at 4:30 p.m.” The council had hoped to have the budget finalized in time for Monday night’s regular meeting. The additional cuts to the capital budget became necessary after a Monday work session where several employees pointed out for years they had See BUDGET, Page 3
Jeff Sessions to visit Horseshoe Bend Military Park Staff Reports The Outlook
Tallapoosa County’s own Horseshoe Bend Military Park near New Site will have a highlevel visitor Friday. Officials say that Alabama U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions will make a stop at the park Friday. Sessions was first elected senator in 1997 after serving as a U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama for 12 years. He was appointed to the position by then President Ronald Reagan. Born in Selma and raised in Hybart, Sessions is considered to be an expert in the Senate on military affairs and is considered a staunch environmentalist. While the purpose of his visit wasn’t made public, Horseshoe

Bend is rich in both of those areas. The park is the site of the famed 1814 battle where Major General Andrew Jackson‘s army of 3,300 men attacked Chief Menawa’s 1,000 Red Stick Creek warriors fortified in a horseshoe shaped bend of the Tallapoosa River. The battle remains the largest single loss of Native American lives, and helped form the foundation of Alabama with the transferring of 22 million acres of Creek lands. The park features more than a thousand preserved natural acres and welcomes more than 50,000 visitors each year.

DEAR ABBY: I am a divorcee with a problem. My longtime friend “Paul” and I decided to move in together so I could save some money because of my very expensive divorce. The problem is, I think I am falling for him, and I get really jealous when he brings dates home. When I told him I’m starting to have feelings for him, he said he cares for me, but not in that way. How can I keep my jealousy in check so I don’t ruin a good friendship? -- OVER THE LINE IN UTAH DEAR OVER THE LINE: I’m going to take a risk and make a generalization, because there is much truth to it. When couples divorce, one or both partners’ self-esteem often takes a huge hit. People often feel vulnerable and in need of someone to love them, make them feel attractive, be a partner to them, etc. Could this be you?
Obituaries David Joseph McCausland David Joseph McCausland was born August 12, 1945, to Joseph James and Ruth Thurnau McCausland in St. Louis, Missouri. At an early age, David moved with his parents to central Florida and lived most of his childhood in the Crystal Lake community in Lakeland, Florida. In 1964, David graduated from Lakeland Senior High School, where he played on the Dreadnaughts football team. After serving in the U.S. Navy, David attended Alexander City Community College (currently Central Alabama Community College) and Polk Community College in Lakeland, Florida (currently Polk State College). In 1968, David married Virginia “Ginger” Chappell in Alexander City where they lived for several years before relocating to Lakeland. Together, David and Ginger raised two daughters. David enjoyed a long career as an industrial electrician, including years of service
Paul Jones Funeral services for Paul Jones, age 56 of Ashland, will be at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, November 13, 2015 at Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church with Rev. Richard East officiating. Burial will follow in the adjoining cemetery. Mr. Jones passed away Wednesday, November 11, 2015 at the Russell Medical Center in Alexander City. He was a native and lifelong resident of Clay County and was the Plant Manager of Area Concrete in Alexander City for several years. Paul was also a member of Old Providence Baptist Church and his hobbies included hunting, fishing and garden-
break from doing it all? -- I’M DONE IN FLORIDA DEAR “DONE”: No. You have a right to spend your Thanksgiving any way you wish. Because you didn’t mention whether your siblings host Christmas, Easter or Fourth of July celebrations, I’m assuming the answer is no. If that’s true, then from my perspective you’re at least 12 years overdue for a break. Your sisters and sistersin-law should have stepped up to the plate and shared the responsibilities you have shouldered alone after your mother passed away, if not before. Shame on them.
DEAR ABBY: I have been cooking Thanksgiving dinner for our family since I was in my mid-20s, with little or no assistance from my sisters or sisters-in-law. They typically
show up empty-handed but leave with a generous amount of leftovers. Before my mother passed away 12 years ago, she would at least help. Since my children and their families live out of state and are unable to come this year, I told one of my sistersin-law I wouldn’t be hosting Thanksgiving this year. Abby, she had a complete hissy fit! She insisted it was “tradition” that we have Thanksgiving at my house, and it’s something everyone looks forward to. She even said it’s not like I don’t have the time since I retired this year. Yes, I have tried delegating. One year, a sister brought a dessert (cookies in a tin) and the other a bag of rolls. Neither one has ever worked outside the home. I’m tired of cooking for two or three days to feed 15 to 20 people. Am I wrong in wanting a
with IMC Agrico, ER Yanah Industries, and A&E Electric Company. In 1996, upon finding themselves with an empty nest, David and Ginger moved to London, England, where David worked for the Guinness brewery and Johnson Controls. Later, they moved to New York City, where David worked as a director of facility operations for the Staten Island Yankees. Retirement brought David back to Alexander City, and the McCauslands lived in a Russell Cabin on Wicker Point Road on Lake Martin. Recently for several years, David was a devoted husband to his beloved wife Virginia “Ginger” for 42 years, until her death in 2011. Happily, David found love again, and married Betty Jean Maddox Monroe, of Lakeland, Florida, with whom he enjoyed traveling and frequent adventures, including many trips to visit grandchildren. David died suddenly in an automobile accident on November 6, 2015 in north Lakeland. David was a proud Floridian who enjoyed Florida
history, SEC football, many types of music (especially classic country and James Taylor), photography, nonfiction, and exploring all types of museums and botanical gardens. He was the family Trivial Pursuit champion and a lover of dogs, especially his beloved Golden Retriever, Liga who was his constant companion. During his retirement, David enjoyed fishing from his pontoon boat, DIY home repair projects, and road trips to visit family and friends. Above all, David was devoted to his family, and to helping anyone in need. He was committed to doing what was right, and will always be remembered for countless acts of kindness, small and large. David was preceded in death by his first wife, Virginia Chappell McCausland. He is survived by his wife, Betty Jean Maddox Monroe of Lakeland; daughter Jessica McCausland Fisher and son-in-law Thomas Fisher II of Dunedin, Florida; daughter Heather McCausland Honerkamp and son-inlaw Robert Honerkamp of Singapore; brother Timothy
McCausland and sister-inlaw Sharon McCausland of Bartow, Florida; granddaughters, Claire McCausland Fisher, Gemma Charlotte Honerkamp, and Sophie Annabelle Honerkamp. David is also survived by his step-daughter, Annisa Monroe; step-son, Steve Monroe; step-daughter-in-law, Megan Monroe; step-son, Travis Monroe; step-daughter-in-law, Madeline Monroe; and step-grandchildren, Heath Monroe, Lochlan Robert Monroe, Bridgette Anne Monroe, and Francis William Carl Monroe.

DEAR ABBY Advice
Might this have something to do with your resentment of the women Paul is seeing? Your friend has been no more than a supportive friend at a time when you needed one. If you can’t accept it for what it is, then for your own emotional health find another place to live because, even if you’re saving money, this arrangement is too expensive.

City Clerk Mike Gardner explained how the city is already moving the new budget around to accommodate a business recruiter. “We have taken some from the budget of most all of the departments to cover the cost of the business recruiter that we went in jointly with Coosa and Tallapoosa Counties and Alexander City to hire last meeting,” Gardner said. “Some money is coming from the police department, public works and the city.” Along with the budget, at the last meeting Dadeville Public Library Manager Abbi Mangarelli asked for adjustments to the budget be made to allow a part time employee to work an additional eight hours a week. “Abbi has gone through her budget and the library was able to come up with the monies for three hours a week,” Gardner said. “I have looked

through the budget and the city can not help them at this time.” Gardner also presented the council with information regarding the demolition grant that the city has received and asked the council to review it for discussion at the next council meeting. The Dadeville City Council also: • approved payment of bills. • approved minutes of the last meeting. • approved recreation center rentals. • heard the Dadeville Public Library will be closed Thanksgiving, Friday, Nov. 27 and Saturday, Nov. 28. • is reviewing a request from the Dadeville High School Sound of Gold Marching Band for a donation for new band uniforms. • heard that the DHR project is still on hold.

not been given the pay that their years of service warrants under the city’s personnel manual. At the meeting, Human Resources Director Tammy Walker said she calculated it would take an estimated $392,000 to get everyone in a similar situation in all city departments up to the appropriate level. The council seemed to be sympathetic and said if department heads could make the cuts, they would commit to getting these employees to the point they deserved to be on the salary scale.

asked to cut about 62 percent of the capital budget, which amounts to about $3.5 million. “We can get another year out of these trucks,” Council President Jim Spann said. “There are a lot of things that would be nice to have, but we can only do what we have the money to do. That’s just the way it is.” Shaw said a called meeting on Thursday, Nov. 19, at 5 p.m. would give the council a chance to pass the budget.

crowd. “Look at all those hands. Looking at that _ think about this. No matter where you are sitting in this room, you are sitting next to a hero. I honestly believe that. “It takes an incredible commitment to serve in the military and the people in this room are living examples of that.” Hardin gave a history of military service and gave examples of people who led the fight for veterans rights. She summed up what the call to service really is like. “If you are a veteran, at some point, you made the decision to write a blank check to the United States of America,” Hardin said. The ceremony began as the Alexander City Honor Guard posted the colors and conducted the parade of service flags. Color Guard Chaplain Tommy Martin delivered the opening prayer and also did the program’s benediction. Rev. Labron Spradley gave a great emotional performance of the National Anthem, and later in the program sang “Amazing Grace.” Bill Nichols residents and visitors in attendance were also treated to three songs featuring the First Baptist

Church of Alexander City’s Handbell Choir. After their perfomance of “Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory,” which is also known as the “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” many in the crowd gave a standing ovation. Mayor Charles Shaw said he was honored to be in the presence of so many people who served their country so bravely. “It is a great honor to be here to thank you for your service and for what all of you have done for this city, this state and our country,” Shaw said. “We are thankful for what you all have done for our country not only today, but we should thank you every day. So if you see a veteran, shake their hand and tell them thank you.” Those in attendance also got to see from a distance how construction at Bill Nichols is shaping up. “We welcome you here and are excited about what is happening at Bill Nichols,” said ADVA Director Kathryn Fuller. “We are close to opening the front of out buildings and all of the new day rooms on each of our floors. This is an incredible project for us and are excited to see it close to completion.”
Gambling

purports to place the primary responsibility for the enforcement of gambling laws in Alabama with the local sheriff and DA,” Jones said in a released statement. “Frankly, that has essentially been the law anyway, although previous governors made an effort to remove the local Sheriff and DA from the enforcement of such laws. “In response to a number of calls from business people in our circuit, I want to be sure that people understand: The law in Alabama has not changed as a result of the governor’s Executive Order. “If a machine requires money be paid, either by insertion in the machine, or by purchasing some item or receipt, unless the outcome is based on skill, then it’s gambling and therefore illegal in Alabama.” At times several stores in Tallapoosa County have operated so-called bingo machines, often tucked into back rooms or even in adjacent buildings. Three locations where the machines were in operation were found in a check around Tallapoosa County by the Outlook last spring. Reports of these and others still operating around the area have come in since that story was first reported. Abbett said his investigators will act on any complaint from citizens or other agencies. He said those situ-
ations will be investigated by his office or any other law enforcement agency, under the guidance of the district attorney’s office. “The way that we have handled that in the past is that if we get a complaint from a citizen, or develop probable cause, then we act on that,” Abbett said. “From what I can tell, nothing in the governor’s order will change that. The main difference appears now that it will be prosecuted locally.” Jones agreed and continued with a word of caution. “The only exception is Macon County, where the Legislature adopted without a single no vote, and the people of Macon overwhelmingly approved, a Constitutional Amendment which allows bingo games based on the rules and regulations established by the sheriff,” Jones said. “So, unless you live in Macon County and operate bingo under the sheriff’s rules, your machines are likely illegal, and are therefore subject to seizure and you are subject to arrest.” Jones said complaints of possible gambling activity can be reported to his office or to the sheriff’s department In making the announcement, Bentley cited more than $9 million of the state’s money that had been used in anti-gambling efforts.

Our
Opinion
Saggy pants law talk should fade away
R
emember the national media fervor that was created when news of the Dadeville City Council’s discussion of a law to ban saggy pants was first reported here? From People magazine to the CBS network news did stories on the talk of making it a crime to have slacking pants in Dadeville. Since that initial talk and a couple of follow up conversations at subsequent meeting, there has been silence on the issue. From where we sit, no news is good news on this issue. While the fashion trend is disgusting to many people, is a law needed to stop it? Do we really want the police to have to decide if someone’s pants warrant a citation? In America, there’s a fine line between protecting the freedoms of the individual and preventing those exercising their freedom from infringing on the rights of others. It’s fine to say what’s on your mind as long as what’s on your mind isn’t hollering “fire” in a crowded theater. It’s your prerogative to own a dog, but if your dog begins attacking others then that is a problem you must be prepared to deal with and be willing to pay the price. It’s OK to enjoy music when you’re driving, not so much if your music is so loud it rattles windows in their frames when you pass through a neighborhood. And that brings us to saggy pants. Walking around showing your underwear is disrespectful. It’s also unattractive and impractical … why would anyone chose to use one hand holding up your pants all day? Society has a way to take care of these issues. Remember that polyester white disco suits were popular for a time after John Travolta donned one in “Saturday Night Fever.” The mullet hair cut was big for a time and so were bell-bottomed jeans. Sooner or later people figure out that some things just look bad. We think the Dadeville City Council letting this move to establish city code banning saggy pants die a quiet death is the right thing.

Like Bon Jovi, I’m half way there
A
few weeks ago, I tallied up the number of states I’ve performed in for pay. That number wound up being 25, so I jokingly said, “Like Bon Jovi, I’m half way there.” In addition, the good Lord knows that I’ve been living on a prayer. Texas was good to me early on. I’ve performed in several more states but many of them were free shows. When I first decided to run my stuttering pie hole for a living, I’d drive 500 miles to speak for free. The struggle is real but so is the reward. Recently, I scored a paying gig in New Jersey, which put me over the hump. It wasn’t a full-paying gig, but it was important to me as it was a chance to bring stuttering awareness to the Department of Agriculture as part of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, which takes place each October. I woke up at 3 a.m. and drove to the airport in Atlanta for a flight to Philadelphia. Once I landed in Philly, I rented a car and drove an hour to Robbinsville, New Jersey where the event was held. I flew back the same night. In

the army, we call this a turn and burn. It was a long day, but I really wanted to sleep in my bed that night, so I made it happen. The Robbinsville area is a lovely place to be this time of year. The foliage was outof-this-world gorgeous. They don’t call it the Garden State for nothing, although I didn’t see any corn. Corn would’ve been nice. I’d been to New Jersey before, but it was way back in 2003. All that I took home with me from that trip was the memory of not being able to pump my own gas. I’d never seen that before. Sure, I remember the days of full-service filling stations, but full-service was an option. In New Jersey, there was no option. Patrons were unauthorized to pump their own gas. I would see that a year later in Oregon, too. At the time, I thought it was ridiculous, but now, I like it. I get tired of pumping my own
gas. There were no additional fees for the gas either. It gave people jobs. It gave them a purpose. That’s a good thing. Two days after being confirmed for the Department of Agriculture event, I was booked for another gig in New Jersey. There were no ties between the organizations; it just happened like that. That event takes place on Nov. 16 in Cedar Grove. Since then, I’ve been booked for yet another gig in New Jersey in late April. It’s funny how things work out sometimes. I’m over that hump and am working my way to 50, so until then and beyond, like Bon Jovi, I’ll be living on a prayer. By the way, Jon Bon Jovi is from New Jersey. I just received an email from the Maine Speech Hearing and Language Association. Maybe that’ll be 27. Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq. He is also a lifetime stutterer. He can be reached at jody@jodyfuller.com. For more information, please visit www.jodyfuller.com.

Return of VictoryLand is a good news story
F
inally, there is good news for VictoryLand and Macon County. Almost three years since its closing, the legal issues are settled: The citizens of Macon County voted in good faith for electronic bingo and VictoryLand delivered on the citizens’ confidence in the process. Now, with Governor Robert Bentley’s Executive Order 13 that returns the responsibility of the enforcement of Alabama’s gambling laws to the local entities authorized by the amendments that approved electronic bingo in the first place, VictoryLand is moving full speed ahead toward reopening. The Governor is to be congratulated for acting to bring jobs back to Alabama’s Black Belt, where they are sorely needed. Some say Governor Bentley is taking a politically courageous stand in issuing his Executive Order. If calling for a halt of the continued bad-faith spending that has surpassed $9 million and the end of a legally futile wild goose chase is courageous, then I concur. The Governor has made a decision that is correct legally and correct as a chief executive whose aim is to bring jobs to the citizens of Alabama. At its height, VictoryLand employed more than 2,000 people. Those 2,000 people worked at good-paying jobs, paid their taxes and contributed to the economies of Macon, Montgomery, Elmore, Bullock, Lee, Russell, Tallapoosa counties and beyond. Area businesses across the Black Belt were buoyed through provid-
ALONZA MENEFEE Guest Columnist
ing supplies that allowed VictoryLand to give its customers a quality entertainment experience. In these rural Black Belt counties, big announcements of massive manufacturing industry projects - or any sizeable influx of economic development - are depressingly rare. Reopening VictoryLand will benefit people across the Black Belt as a job creator, as a major tourist attraction and as a company that has paid more than $300 million in local, county and state taxes. The vastly underfunded Macon County school system has received more than $50 million in taxes from VictoryLand. With VictoryLand employees coming from at least seven Alabama counties, the economic benefit from those jobs spread all across central and east Alabama. This trickle-across effect is demonstrated in unexpected areas, too. Insurance benefits paid to VictoryLand employees relieve financial burdens on area hospitals that might have been forced to use tax dollars to provide indigent care. Hospitals such as the Baptist Medical Centers in Montgomery, Community Hospital in Tallassee, East Alabama Medical Center in Opelika, Montgomery’s Jackson Hospital and Russell Medical Center in Alexander
City can provide better care to those who get their insurance from VictoryLand. Alabama’s unemployment rate was recently calculated at 6 percent. That’s a great start, but still higher than all of our Southeastern neighbors except for Mississippi’s 6.1 percent. However, unemployment in the Black Belt is still almost catastrophically high. Of the 24 counties in Alabama with unemployment rates still over 7 percent, 12 are in the Black Belt. Macon County’s jobless rate sits at 7.7 percent. Bullock County’s unemployment figure is 8.4 percent. These numbers are alarming and considering the number of unemployed people who have given up hope after losing their well-paying jobs at places like VictoryLand, they are actually even higher. The pent-up demand for good jobs was obvious when VictoryLand opened up its online application process and almost immediately more than 3,000 people applied. Those looking for jobs in these counties near VictoryLand have a great shot to get one. VictoryLand has always been a success story for central and east Alabama. Quality entertainment, firstclass dining experiences and good jobs are people stories that have happy endings. Thank goodness - and, thanks again Governor Bentley - the reopening is fast approaching.

The Wetumpka Herald
PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your mood brightens as others lighten up. News could head in from someone at a distance. If you ask too many questions, this person might retreat. Your intuition is likely to indicate that there is a discrepancy between what you are hearing and the facts. Tonight: A weekend getaway. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Continue to let others take the lead. Everyone will be a lot happier as a result, especially one key individual. Your eɈorts need to be concentrated on personal matters. Schedule a haircut or a long-overdue dentist appointment. Tonight: Opt for teamwork. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Make sure you are in tune with the inner you. You might think you feel one way, only to realize that deeper feelings lie beneath the surface. You will Änd out about these emotions as they emerge, and you will need to respond accordingly. Tonight: Let someone else assume control. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your imagination can be limitless if you brainstorm with an equally imaginative person. So many diɈerent schemes and ideas could pop up from out of the blue! Consider picking and choosing your audience with care. Tonight: Get some rest, if you can. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Be direct with others. You might be surprised by someone else’s diplomacy. Emphasize what you desire in a way in which you can be heard. Some of you might sugarcoat your desires; others will be demanding. A last-minute snafu could occur. Tonight: Think “weekend.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Tension could mount to a level that you had not anticipated. You might not be ready to deal with what is happening, or with what someone else wants. You don’t need to vanish or become diɉcult; state your desires clearly. Tonight: Deal with an ongoing issue.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You seem more energized and charming than usual. How you manage to be even more alluring than your typical self could be shocking to some people, while others will be envious. However, you could become diɉcult if you don’t get what you want. Tonight: No fussing. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Know that you have a lot to oɈer -- much more than you realize. Part of the reason is that these traits are such an innate part of your personality. Others admire your knowledge and strength. Use caution with your Änances. Tonight: Fun doesn’t need to cost money. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You’ll perk up as the day goes on, as you sense that others are receptive to your ideas and presentation. Stay goal-oriented, and you will succeed. A domineering friend might push you very hard. Even if you say “no,” he or she is unlikely to hear you. Tonight: You call the shots. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Know when to back oɈ. Your inner voice might be saying something quite contrary to what you would like to believe. The only answer is to stop and look at the diɈerent issues. Buy yourself some time until you Ägure out what is most appropriate. Tonight: Play it cool. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Focus on your goals and desires. Friends could be very distracting and could become part of your day, even if you initially did not want this type of interaction. You might laugh at your inability to push away a good time. Is that so bad? Tonight: The more, the merrier. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could be overtired and withdrawn. Pressure has been building around your work and day-to-day life. As a result, you might back away from friends or a demanding person. Focus on completing what you must now, and doing what you want later. Tonight: Try to get some sleep.

DHS FFA goes to national convention By Cliff Williams Outlook Staff Writer
First year vocational agriculture teacher Will Wright hopes a recent trip to the Future Farmers of America National Convention in Louisville, Kentucky jump starts the FFA program at Dadeville High School. “We are trying to spark interest in FFA,” Wright said. “It has been on the rise here for a couple of years. There is a huge potential for growth here. We ended up taking 18 students, mostly ninth graders. To the best of my knowledge, no other school in the state took that many students to the national convention.” Based on impressions from Dadeville High School ninth graders that made the journey, Wright is well on the way to building the FFA program. “It was a great trip,” Melanie Diaz said. “Meeting a lot of new people was the best part.” “It was a great experience,” Ethan Phillips said. “I learned more about FFA. Motivational speaker Dr. Rick Rigsby was awesome.” The students got to learn more about FFA and agriculture. “We learned about degrees in agriculture you can get,” Phillips said. “What colleges offer what degrees with their booths and what you can do with those degrees.” “I like how airplanes can help with agriculture in spraying crops,” Andrew Spraggins said. “I think I want to do that. It is kind of ironic in that I have never been on an airplane before.” The group from Dadeville did more than
just the FFA convention. “The Grand Ole Opry was great,” Spraggins said. “ The Corvette Museum was awesome.” The group did some fundraising to help with the $500 per person cost of the trip. “Our club president sent out letters and we got about $3,000 in donations that way,” Wright said. “ Tallapoosa County Commissioner Emma Jean Thweatt made a donation that helped us out greatly and the FFA chapter paid for part of it.” Wright himself has a big FFA background despite being a first year teacher. “I am from Lauderdale County,” Wright said. “My dad is an ag teacher. Kind of easy for me to be a vo-ag teacher. I grew up in the ag shop. I saw all the good things FFA did for me. I was a district officer, a state officer. I got a full ride scholarship to Auburn through the leadership side of FFA.” Wright said the students are excited about the possibilities with FFA. “I am so happy that all of these ninth graders are so excited,” Wright said. “I am really excited about the possibilities now with the excitement after getting back from the national convention.” Phillips wants to do more than just go to the next national FFA convention. “Next year is Indianapolis,” Phillips said. “I want to be able to earn my way there through one of the competitions like livestock judging or land judging.”

STATE OF THE PROGRAM Alexander City Youth Soccer continues growth By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor
A trio of Alexander City Youth Soccer teams will be celebrating the end of their fall season in the state competition. The Alexander City 11U and 13U teams finished in first place, while the Alexander City 9U team finished in second place at the Alabama Recreation and Parks Association District V Tournament in Lincoln last weekend. All three teams will continue their season at the ARPA state competition in Dothan on Submitted / The Outlook Nov. 21-22. Members of the fi rst place 13U team are Abigale Sims, Jordan Osborne, Andy Ramirez, Eric Ramon, “We played in the rain all Rodolfo Ramon, Alex Ozment, Lucan Yates, Luis Morales, Tihuy Heng, Tate Reynolds, Lillian Parker, Lane day Saturday and it was a long Rigby, Campbell Woods, Landon Daniel and Jackson Kelley. Coaches are Marcus Osborne and Chris Sims. day,” said Josh Tucker, president of the Alexander City Youth Soccer Board and coach of the 11U Alexander City team. “We took several teams. We had a 5-and-under team, two 7-and-under teams, then a 9U, 11U and 13U team. The teams that are able to qualify (for state) because of age and came in either first or second place were our 9, 11 and 13U teams.” The competition is a part of Alexander City Youth Soccer’s fall season, which Tucker said might have had the highest participation in the history of the program. “In the fall season we probably had close to 175 children. I think this season went very Submitted / The Outlook well and that’s probably the Members of the fi rst place 11U team are Jon Robert Tucker, Dylan Palicios, Isaiah Moore, Elijah Gaspar, most kids we’ve ever had,” Nathan Jones, Kelly Hernandez, Laura Thames, Kelley Wilson, Emma Culligan, Gracie Dean, Abby Davis, Tucker said. “We were very Jadyn Young, Edwyn Perez (not pictured) and Andy Sosol (not pictured). Coaches are Josh Tucker, Kevin fortunate that we got to play Dean and Brad Davis. the whole season without any makeup games due to rain.” This fall season also included some of the first night games at the city’s new soccer complex near the Russell Pool. Tucker said moving forward the complex will officially have its permanent lights in place. “We played on Tuesdays and Thursdays this fall and it got dark on us, so we did have to bring in temporary lighting for that,” Tucker said. “The city is still working on us some lights, and all of those lights are currently in at the complex, but are just waiting to be installed. Once they get them up, we’ll have really lit up fields.” Alexander City Youth Submitted / The Outlook Soccer will also have its Members of the second place 9U team are Rob Alvarado, Austin Atkinson, Angel Borrego, Tyler Cotney, spring season registration in Hudson Daniel, Thomas Dean, Thompson Gamble, Jalyiah Glenn, Austin Holley, Austin Jackson, Zane February and games beginning Milioto, Kenny Moreno, Ethan Rojas, Sergio Rojo, Caleb Salmoran and Haver Spurlin.

Is this a playoff or is it a commercial posing as one?
C
ontroversy. Debate. Argument. This is what the college football playoff system has brought us in two years. C’mon, Larry Culpepper. You could’ve given us something better than this. What we have are four playoff spots available for what will more than likely be five or six teams worthy of discussion. Clemson, Alabama and Ohio State would be shoe-ins if the regular season were over today. Debate beyond the top three fuel ESPN’s talk show ratings. The BCS was killed because controversy often followed. Instead, we have controversy and a weekly playoff ranking TV show. What college football needs is a playoff selection that leaves absolutely no doubt which teams should be involved. No gray area. No debate. No lobbying. Just earn your spot on the field. There is no easy way here, but if scientists can put men on the moon almost 50 years ago, our crack team of playoff committee members can
JOE MCADORY Sports Columnist
develop a playoff system that leaves no room for doubt. But how on earth can we do this? There is no simple way and if it requires blowing up a few conference alignments and forcing certain independents into joining Power 5 conferences, then so be it. Sorry, Boise State. My best try: 1) Mandate that independents join Power 5 conferences in football to be eligible for a four-team playoff; 2) Take the Power 5 conference champions – knowing that one must be eliminated; 3) Eliminate that conference champion by virtue of its conference’s record vs. other Power 5 conference teams that finish in the top half of its respective final regular season conference standings. This could make cross-sectional regular season games even
more important, not just for the teams involved, but their respective conferences. Suddenly, Auburn vs. Clemson, or Alabama vs. Southern Cal to open the season would have huge implications in December. No debate. No humans to lobby. No eye tests. If the Alabama High School Athletic Association can have comprehensive cut-and-dry tiebreaking systems in place for 30 years without issue, then surely our friends in the NCAA can figure out something. Sometimes I wonder if we really have a playoff … or a commercial posing as one. Quick kicks: Auburn-Georgia: A month ago, I gave Auburn no chance to beat Georgia. But if the Tigers play Saturday the way they did at Texas A&M, then I like Auburn’s chances. Somehow this game is probably Georgia’s Super Bowl as the Bulldogs seemingly get up for Auburn more than most opponents. In other words,
Auburn often gets Georgia’s best shot. Since 1992, Georgia is 7-4-1 at Jordan-Hare Stadium (with the tie in 1994 ending Auburn’s 20-game win streak). Auburn has not won consecutive home games against the Bulldogs since 1988/90. They’re due, right? Another odd note, Auburn is 3-1 when Jeremy Johnson starts, but 2-3 when Sean White starts. Big foot: Auburn’s Daniel Carlson kicked four field goals in each of the Tigers’ last two games. Overall, he’s made 18 of 21 – four from beyond 50 yards. Big D: If a Heisman Trophy could go to a team unit, I’d hand it to Alabama’s front seven on defense. This season, Alabama’s opponents are averaging just 75.8 yards rushing per game. Let’s compare that to other Alabama championship teams: 1992’s squad allowed 55 yards rushing per game, the 2009 team gave up 78.1, the 2011 team allowed 72.2, and the 2012 team allowed 76.4.
