State issues restrictions on burning By MITCH SNEED Editor
Cliff Williams / The Outlook
A recent fire in the Wind Creek Farms area last week as a result of the drought.
In Tallapoosa County alone, six wildfires were reported in the last seven days, burning nearly 67 acres. In the last 30 days, 147 acres have burned in the county, according to Alabama Forestry Commission statistics. In light of those numbers, the Tallapoosa County Commissioners heard an update from Tallapoosa County Emergency Management
Agency Director Jason Moran on the extreme drought and the fire hazards that have resulted. “We heard from the Alabama Forestry Commission yesterday and while there isn’t a total ban, there are some very specific conditions that have to be met for people wanting to burn,” Moran said. “They ask that you call them and check on what is required and what the limitations are if you are burning in a forestry situation.” The Alabama Forestry
Commission upgraded the Fire Danger Warning Monday, issuing a Fire Alert for 46 counties in north Alabama effective immediately. The order covers Autauga, Bibb, Blount, Calhoun, Chambers, Cherokee, Chilton, Clay, Cleburne, Colbert, Coosa, Cullman, Dallas, DeKalb, Elmore, Etowah, Fayette, Franklin, Greene, Hale, Jackson, Jefferson, Lamar,

Ala. Power to host open house Alabama Power Co.’s Shoreline Management office at Lake Martin is hosting a public education open house on Oct. 21 at 11 a.m. in the Creekside Lodge Event Center at 6993 Alabama 49, Dadeville. Alabama Power hosts the annual open houses to allow customers, realtors, dock builders and others an opportunity to discuss the company’s shoreline management program. Alabama Power personnel will be present to answer questions about licensing, environmental concerns, best management practices, forestation practices around the lake as well as commercial and non-residential permitting. The timing of the meeting is designed to correspond with the winter drawdown of the lake level, said Rhett Hanks, lake manager for Alabaama Power’s Lake Martin Shoreline Management office. “There are three questions we get most frequently,” said Hanks. “How do I go about getting a shoreline See PERMITS • Page A6

The new owner of a store in the Wall Street community will receive a beer and wine license after the Tallapoosa County Commission reconsidered its denial of an earlier request that included liquor. Bina Patel, the owner of PJ’s One Stop at 1990 S. Tallassee Drive, spoke to the commissioners during public comments. She said that she recently purchased the store, which had a license to sell beer and wine. “Just over the last week or so my customers, they signed a petition asking the commissioners to reconsider,” Patel said following the meeting. “I put a lot of money into the store since I purchased it and without that license, it is hurting us and the community. So many people here don’t have cars and they walk to our store. They depend on us.” Commissioner George Carleton Jr. who represents District 5 where the store is located said that several people in the community had been concerned because the store had also applied for a liquor license. He agreed to ask the commissioners to add the item to the agenda if the request was just for beer and wine. The item was added by a 4-0 vote and then was passed by the same count. Patel was thankful. “I am so happy that they reconsidered,” Patel said. “It means a lot to the See LICENSE• Page A6

DEAR ABBY: Four years ago, after three years of marriage, I had a brief affair and was caught by my husband, who is a doctor. We had little girls, so he decided not to divorce me, but I had to cut my long hair short in a man’s style and stop wearing makeup or jewelry except for my wedding ring. He donated all my designer clothes, and bought me men’s clothes. I have begged him to let me wear women’s clothes again and allow me to wear even a short woman’s hairstyle, but he refuses. Our two daughters are old enough now to notice, and they are a little embarrassed by how Mommy dresses. I no longer have any desire for an affair, but simply want to look attractive. I was a beauty queen in college, but now even my female friends think dressing like this is my idea. Sometimes I feel so embarrassed in public that I want to hide. What do you suggest I try to get him to let me wear my hair long and women’s clothes again? --
DEAR ABBY Advice
WANTS TO BE ME AGAIN DEAR WANTS TO BE YOU: I hope you are aware that what your husband has been doing is considered emotional abuse. What you did was wrong, but you should not have to spend the rest of your life looking like a man if you don’t want to. To say that your husband is controlling would be an understatement. Because you need more help than anyone can give you in a letter, I’m urging you to contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline. The website is thehotline.org; the toll-free phone number is 800-799-7233. Please don’t put this off. DEAR ABBY: I am 64 and still a virgin. I now feel I haven’t
done all the things I wanted to do with my life, and I realize I won’t live forever. When I see young kids having fun, I regret wasting my younger years. The biggest issue I have is with being a virgin. I have always believed in true love, but I still haven’t met anyone. I have been going to bars and have multiple accounts on dating websites, but no men close to my age have been interested. A young man who is 39 has asked to meet up. Should I go on a date with him and see what happens? I know it’s wrong, but I think maybe with a younger guy I could do all the things I wanted to do. What should I do? Please help. -PRUDENCE THE VIRGIN DEAR PRUDENCE: Think carefully about what it is you really want. If you go on that date, the chances are that you will succeed in losing your virginity. But don’t count on anything more than that happening. I’m unclear about what you mean by “doing all the things
you wanted to do,” but true love takes time and commitment to develop, and rushing to catch up on all the things you think you have missed is no guarantee you will find it. DEAR ABBY: I’m new in the business world and I have a question. At networking events, how do I politely excuse myself from a conversation when I encounter a “Stage 1” clinger? -- TRAPPED AGAIN IN TORONTO DEAR TRAPPED AGAIN: Because at networking events it’s important to make as many contacts as possible, you should say, “It’s been nice meeting you, but please excuse me because I have to circulate, and so should you.” Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Meals on Wheels feeds homebound in area By DAVID GRANGER Outlook Staff Writer
The United Way of the Lake Martin Area partners with 27 agencies that serve the local area in a variety of important ways. Each year, United Way holds a major fundraising campaign to raise money that is disbursed among those agencies. For the next several weeks, The Outlook will briefly profile each of those 27 agencies. Today, we feature Alexander City Meals on Wheels. What is Meals on Wheels and how long has it been in existence in Alexander City? About how many do you serve per day? What is the service area? Since 1989 we have provided hot, nourishing meals for persons unable to cook for themselves. The meals and daily contact by caring volunteers allow
these homebound persons to remain in their own homes. We are currently delivering 70 meals per day to those who live in the city limits of Alexander City. What kind of meals are served to the participants? We deliver to the recipient’s home a nutritional balanced meal and we also offer special diets that are prescribed by a physician. If someone would like to sign up for Meals on Wheels, what do they need to do? Are there restrictions? Individuals can be referred to Meals On Wheels by their doctor, church, friends,

The Outlook
Sessions would be Black’s polar opposite on court Karr enlists in National Guard
O
ur junior U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions has risen to national prominence in this pivotal presidential year. His arch conservative senate voting record and impeccable pedigree as one of the most rock solid Republicans in the U.S. Senate has made him a marquee persona among right wing Fox News conservatives throughout the country. During the GOP primary debates earlier this year, the aspirants would refer to him and insinuate that Sessions was in their corner. However, the ultimate victor, Donald Trump, won the early support of Sessions primarily due to their common opinion on immigration. It is no secret that Trump reveres and trusts Sessions. In fact, Sessions has evolved into Trump’s foremost confidant both politically and philosophically. Without question, Sessions is closer to Trump than any member of the Senate. If Trump were to be elected, Trump could appoint Sessions to the Supreme Court. Jeff Sessions would unquestionably become a social conservative stalwart on the Court. If this were to occur he would be only the second Alabamian in a century to be named to the nation’s high tribunal. The last Alabamian named to the Supreme Court was Hugo Black. If Sessions is appointed to the Supreme Court, the contrast in the two legacies of Sessions and Black would be remarkable. Probably the most
STEVE FLOWERS Columnist
enduring legacy a president will have is an appointment to the United States Supreme Court. This lifetime powerful appointment will be lasting. The nine Justices of the Supreme Court have omnipotent everlasting power over most major decisions affecting issues and public policy in our nation. Our new president will not only fill the one seat vacant now due to the death of Justice Scalia, but probably two more. These appointments may be their most lasting legacy. It may come as a surprise to you since Alabama is currently considered one of the most conservative places in America but Alabamian Hugo Black was arguably one of the most liberal Supreme Court justices in history. He was also one of the longest serving justices. Black was the fifthlongest serving Supreme Court justice. He sat on the Supreme Court of the United States from 1937 to 1971. Nearly 35 of his 85 years on earth were spent on the Supreme Court. Hugo Black, like most folks and heroes of that era in Alabama history, was born on a farm. He was born in rural Clay County in 1886. He was the youngest child of a large family. He worked his way through the University of Alabama Law School under the
tutelage of President George Denny. He shoveled coal to stoke the furnaces at the university. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa. He began practicing law in Birmingham at 22 years old. He became a Jefferson County prosecutor and then World War I broke out. He served in the War and rose to the rank of captain. In 1926 at age 40, Black was elected to the United States Senate. He arrived in the Senate at the beginning of the Great Depression. During his entire tenure in the Senate, America was in the throes of the Depression. Folks who endured this era were marked by it. Franklin Delano Roosevelt came to the White House in 1932. His New Deal was the most legendary political accomplishment in American history. Black became one of FDR’s staunchest allies. He voted for 24 out of 24 of Roosevelt’s New Deal programs. Alabama benefited mightily from FDR’s New Deal, especially rural Alabama and the Tennessee Valley. Roosevelt rewarded Alabama’s junior senator with a coveted seat on the Supreme Court. He was one of nine justices appointed by President Roosevelt during his 13-year reign as president. Black was a liberal New Dealer in the Senate and liberals were pleased by the justice from Alabama’s tenure over the next 35 years. Liberals regard Black as one of the most influential
Supreme Court justices of the 20th Century. He hung his hat on the 14th Amendment. He was part of the court decision that declared school racial segregation illegal in the famous Brown v. Board of Education decision. It is probably unbelievable to most Americans that Alabama’s only contribution to the Supreme Court is one of its most liberal justices in history. Believe me, there would be quite a difference in philosophy between the ultraliberal Hugo Black and the ultra-conservative Jeff Sessions, which illustrates the historical change in Alabama politics. See you next week.

Good food and fellowship abundant at Equality Community Reunion
W
onderful news reached Nixburg for Pete and Peggie Sue Ott last week from Colorado, where grandson Cody Ott is stationed with the Air Force. Cody and his wife, Kate, welcomed a new baby boy on Oct. 6, weighing a healthy 7 pounds 10 ounces. Everyone is thrilled and all doing great. The baby is Rowan Charles Ott, and the family hopes to visit here in 6 weeks. Currently, Kate’s parents are in Colorado. Happy birthday to Kelli Friday and Primo Bellani, both on Oct. 15, George Hardy on Oct. 16 and my brother’s boy, George de Broise (14 years), in Somerset, England. Sad news for me from England, my Mum (86) had long-awaited surgery to repair badly leaking heart valve in a London hospital on Oct. 5. It didn’t go well. Doctor gave her 50/50 chance of making it through that first night. Her strength helps, but this was shocking to the family. Mum was put on dialysis as her kidneys failed Oct. 7th and was sedated for pain control. They don’t want to leave her in that condition too long. Surgeon did some repair, but tissues too fragile. Now she has fluid buildup, and may need more surgery. Please add Phyllis Barker to your prayer list. My plans are not yet secured, but I will be going to England for two weeks soon. The thing is that if my Mum had this surgery when doctors finally found what was causing the breathlessness and other problems a couple of years ago when my Mum was recovering after

her husband’s death and much stronger, things may be different. But with the National Health, the kind of one-payer healthcare that Mrs. Clinton wants, you are at the mercy of ‘the waiting list.’ I recall when Mum first told me about this. She said she knew of many older folks that just died while waiting for that surgery date. “Privately,” it would cost $61,000 minimum. Reminds me of our Veterans Care. The Wetumpka Humane Society Director Rea Cord reminds us that rabies kills 59,000 humans worldwide every year. Rabies, caused by a virus, can be spread to people and is usually 100 percent fatal. In 2015, there were 3,447 reported rabies cases. Vaccinating your dog is vital for life. Dozens of kinfolk gathered on Sunday, Oct. 2, for the annual Penton Reunion at the home of Cecil and Brenda Dean. (Cecil Dean’s grandparents Johnny and Roxie Penton lived in my Richards home during the 1940s-60s.) In attendance were representatives from at least three branches of the Robert Simeon Penton (1835-1895) family. Simeon was a Confederate Veteran who donated land for the Concord Baptist Church and Cemetery, located between Pentonville and Equality. The group enjoyed sharing a grand array of down-home country cooking, with
pictures and memories from the family’s history. Oct. 9th was the Equality School/ Community Reunion held at the old Masonic Lodge, with beautiful weather, breezy, sunny and clear blue skies. Good food was plentiful and fellowship in the Lodge was very comfortable. Since last year’s reunion, Michael Davis and Alice Fielding had passed away. It was great to see Errol and Emily Law. She is doing better with her bone cancer and they are always such a joy. Others attending were special guest Rev. Milton Smith, pastor of EUMC (details next week), and friend Susan Whatley, both delightful. George Brown came back after missing many years with his lovely lady Toni Guthrie. Good to see Jimmy Wilson after some years and to meet his beautiful, wellmannered daughters, Katie (12) and Lexi (10), a chatty pair that the adults truly enjoyed. Herb and Irma Traylor and Robbie Martin set up the room for us and did the tidying afterwards. It was just super to see our former postmaster from Equality, Sarah Griggs. She looks good and knows much local history. Dan and sweet Alice (Eason) Widgeon were there, as were Richard Penton, good-looking Mary Ann (Granger) Weston, Roger Murchison and Rosie Morgan. T.J. and Catherine Shockley stopped by to say hello. We had a good happy crowd. It was more like a family homecoming. Just packed up too soon. Equality EPAC group has a talented line-up this

While under a Fire Alert, burn permits will be issued at the discretion of the State Forester. According to AFC fire officials, the Fire Alert was issued because of the current drought situation, continued lack of precipitation, high probability of fuel ignition, and shortage of available firefighting manpower and resources. With this extremely dry weather, conditions are such that any fire can quickly spread out of control, not only resulting in damage to our forests but also threatening and destroying homes. Last week, 307 wildfires were reported across Alabama, burning approximately 3,698 acres. In Tallapoosa County it has been 24 days since significant rainfall has been recorded and there is no rain in the forecast for the next seven days. “As far as any kind of burning outside for residents, that really needs to be limited or put on hold,” Moran said. “Some cities have bans in place, but with these dry conditions, we need to be extremely careful. We are stretching the resources, particularly in our volunteer departments, very thin.”

We will make sure that we keep it the same way here.” In other business the commissioners: • Approved the minutes of its last two meetings. • Approved warrants and purchase orders. • Approved a resolution that was suggested by the Association of County Commissions of Alabama stating the commissioners’ support of Amendments 3,4 and 14 that will be on the ballot for voters in November. Those measures will clean up language in existing laws and improve the ability of local governments to move forward without having to turn to the legislature for approval. • Approved moves that will continue an agreement with the state to fund one bed at the Lee County Youth Development Center and the other will allow the county to pay for a second bed. • The commissioners also met with Lake Martin Area Economic Development Alliance Executive Direstor Don McClellan in an executive session to discuss an economic development matter. • It was announced that the Tallapoosa County Courthouse will be closed for Veterans’ Day on Nov. 11.

City Attorney Larkin Radney explained how the four ballots were returned to be considered and counted by the council. “All votes that are considered provisional are sent to the Board of Registrars and they make the decision as to what can or cannot be counted,” Radney said. “It’s my understanding those were presented to them last Friday and what you have today are the ballots that they have returned to the city clerk for you to consider.” City Clerk Harriett Scott explained the reasons that ballots can become provisional. “We have people who are registered at one polling place and come to another to vote,” Scott said. “Rather than wanting to go somewhere else, they vote there and it becomes provisional. Others, the name on the identification may not exactly match the voter registration. So we allow them to vote and then have them considered as provisional.”

ACT II to hold auditions for ‘The Vision’
STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
Alexander City Theatre II (ACT II) on Oct. 23-25 will hold auditions for “The Vision,” a short Christmas production that will be broadcast on WAXC TV in December. Written by William Grandgeorge, the play is based on an old Bavarian folk tale about a shoemaker who has a vision that Christ will visit his shop on Christmas Eve. The non-
denominational, Christ-centered play includes parts for seven men, four women and three children – a girl who could appear to be about 10 years old and two girls or one girl and one boy who could be 6-8 years old. The young children do not have any lines, but the oldest child does. Auditions will be held at the old Bama Theatre, 264 Tallapoosa St., Alexander City, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 23, and from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 24 and
25. The directors will ask anyone interested in taking a part to read from the script during auditions. The idea for the production came from John Kennedy, president and managing partner of Lake Broadcasting, who approached ACT II board member Rev. Rob Iler with the possibility. ACT II obtained special permission from the playwright for the broadcast performance. For more information, email actheatreii@gmail.com.
Crossings arms at that crossing. Previously, the crossing only had the crossbuck signage, with no other safety mechanisms in place. The crossing has had a few accidents there. Statistics show three accidents there since 2007. The most recent was an April 24, 2015 train vs. car crash where Victor “Peewee” Mazahua’s Toyota Corolla turned into the path of an oncoming Norfolk Southern freight train. Miraculously, Mazahua walked away from the accident without any injuries. That crossing isn’t the only one that will be getting new safety features. This crew will install railroad crossing gates at the intersection of Main Street and Ala. Hwy. 63 in front of Carlisle Drug Store. When complete with the work they are doing up the track, they will move to the Main Street crossing provided a pole that must be moved has been relocated in time for Norfolk Southern crews to get started.

Mitch Sneed / The Outlook
Accidents like this April 25, 2015 crash could have been avoided if the crossing arms that are now being installed were in place at that time.
Federal Railroad Administration records show 13 railroad crossing accidents in Tallapoosa County since 2007 with eight injuries, including five to railroad employees. According to the FRA, there have been no
fatalities in Tallapoosa County over that period. According to statistics from the Federal Railroad Administration for 2015, Alabama ranked sixth nationally among states in railroad collisions with 90.
Those collisions caused five fatalities and 34 injuries. Among the reasons for the high number of accidents is that Alabama has 3,500 miles of track and 6,000 public and private crossings.

Auburn wins big and I make a confession
T
he Auburn Tigers made themselves right at home in Davis Wade Stadium on the campus of Mississippi State University this past Saturday and proceeded to throttle the Bulldogs by a final score of 38-14. It was Auburn’s first win at Scott Field since 2010 when Cam Newton led the Tigers to a hard-fought 17-14 victory. That AU team famously went on to go undefeated and win the SEC as well as national title. No one had a clue how good that squad actually was two games into the season, but they got better and more confident as the year progressed. This 2016 Tiger team lost two early ballgames to two very good opponents (Clemson and Texas A&M) and had many questioning if bowl eligibility was even legitimate (I may or may not have been one of those people depending upon the day). While I wouldn t dare compare this team to 2010, I will say these young Plainsmen are getting better and more confident with each passing game. It s entirely too early and, quite frankly, ridiculous at this juncture to post any scenarios (even if they are most definitely plausible) that open the door for Auburn to end up in Atlanta. If the Tigers could pull off wins against Arkansas in two weeks and Ole Miss in three weeks, then we can talk realistically on how the dominoes need to fall. Until then, I am as cliché as cliché can possibly be Let s just play them one game at a time. Unfortunately, it’s actually become a somewhat rare occurrence for Auburn to completely dominate an opponent on both sides of the ball. The offense has put up huge numbers at times, but the defense hasn’t been good enough in the last seven years to completely contain anyone. That being said, the 35-0 halftime score was borderline euphoric to a fanatic like me and, no doubt, to many others out there as well. A lot of people will say they love a good close game. Not me. I want Auburn to eviscerate and humiliate whoever they’re playing especially if it’s an SEC opponent. I believe the first 30 minutes against MSU was the most dominating half of football the Tigers have played in over a decade. In 2014, Auburn defeated LSU at home 41-7. It was 31-7 at the half. In 2007, Auburn defeated Vanderbilt at home 35-7. It was 28-0 at the half. That’s it. Those are the only two other conference games that even remotely resemble what took place in Starkville this weekend. Now, I’ve said all that to preface the confession I must now make. I was actually frustrated and mad by the time the game ended. I was upset Auburn played the second half with hardly any intensity. I was mad the defense gave up 14 points. I was very frustrated the offense went into a shell and only threw two passes in the last 30 minutes. I admit it. I got greedy. In the moment, I refused to see the big picture. Having had time to reflect, I know it was a great win for Auburn no matter how bad the Bulldogs turn out to be. It sounds funny to say this, but Auburn is learning how to win again. It’s only been a year and a half, but it’s been a brutal year and a half. This team doesn’t know how to play with that big of a lead because they haven’t had a lead like that before. I’m actually really beginning to like these Auburn Tigers. They’ve now been rewarded for their impressive play with a No. 23 ranking by the Associated Press. It’s about time they had a bye. I need a week off. Andy Graham writes a regular sports column for Tallapoosa Publishers.

TROJANS GOING STRONG
CACC athletic teams in the thick of fall season
By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor
Most athletic teams at Central Alabama Community College have spent the fall season preparing for the upcoming spring. Among them is the Lady Trojans softball team. The Lady Trojans are winding down the fall season after last week’s 6-1 and 6-5 losses to Samford University. According to head coach Greg Shivers, the Lady Trojans have split between winning and losing this season. “We have a long way to go to get where we need to be,” he said. However, each game has been a learning experience to prepare the athletes for spring. “These are exhibition games and we play them a little different,” Shivers said. The games are intended to teach the athletes fundamentals and to help Shivers know which position would be best for each of the 22 softball players. “We feel we’ve got our pieces into place,” Shivers said. “I feel like our best days are ahead.” Next the Lady Trojans head just down the road to play Columbus State University at 2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21. On Halloween the Lady Trojans team up with the CACC baseball team for the CACC Baseball-Softball Halloween Game at 5 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31 at the CACC baseball field. “The players will be in super-hero costumes for Halloween,” said CACC head baseball coach Larry Thomas. A bucket of candy will be on hand at the free event. “We encourage parents to bring their families and wear their Halloween costumes,” Thomas said. “The kids can get some candy.”

said. “The guys played well.” That played out with the Trojans besting Selma 7-4 and defeating Andrew College 3-2. In the Selma game, Rush Hixon pitched five innings, giving up only one run and striking out seven. Austin Cowan hit 3 for 4, a home run, double and single, and had 3 RBIs. The Andrew face-off saw Shawn Vowell and J.T. Thomas collectively pitch five innings, where they gave up 3 hits and 2 runs. Geffery Green scored the winning run on an error at the top of the seventh inning. The next time the Trojans take to the CACC field will be for the CACC World Series. Set for 5 p.m. daily, Oct. 23-25, the free inter-team series pits the CACC players against each other with the best two out of three named the winner. “It’s called the Trojan Blood Series because the losing team will have to donate a pint of
blood to the American Red Cross,” Thomas said. “It’s an open three-game series where the players take everything they’ve learned and put something on the line.”
CACC golf team drives home winning fall season
The CACC Golf team is also wrapping up its fall season, which has been a successful one. “We’re off to a great start with three wins,” said head coach Dave Jennings. Those wins came when the Trojans came out on top at both the WSCC Fall Invitational, hosted by Wallace State Community College in Cullman, and the District IV Fall Preview, hosted by Faulkner State Community College in Brewton. The golf team also just won the Calhoun Fall Invitational in Decatur on Tuesday. In addi-
tion, two Trojans stood out. “We had sophomore Reynolds Carl medal,” Jennings said. “Carden McColby came in second.” The Trojans head to Gulfport, Miss., this weekend for the MGCCC Fall Invitational. Then they play at Willow Point on Oct. 24 during the RMC FoundationCACC Golf Fundraiser. “The proceeds donate to the RMC Cancer Center,” said Jennings, who dealt with cancer six years ago. “It’s also the 50th anniversary of the CACC golf team.” The Trojans close out the fall season with the CACC-WPCC Collegiate Invitational at Willow Point Nov. 6-8. Jennings invites the community to come watch the tournament, which is free for spectactors. “They’ll see some good collegiate golf,” he said.
