Alex City man among students indicted in murder case
County ranks NO.44 in ‘retirement tax friendliness’
By MITCH SNEED Editor
An Alexander City man was among three former Faulkner University students who have been indicted on murder charges stemming from a 2014 robbery attempt gone bad. Twentyyear-old Tabias Russell, a former Benjamin Russell football standout Russell who was on the football team at Faulkner, along with Marshall Wall, 20, of Atmore and Ronnie Williams, 21, of Loxley were indicted by a Montgomery County Grand Jury last week, according to documents that became public on Tuesday. Fellow Faulkner student Ryan Brooks was with the three now accused in his death when they allegedly went to attempt to steal narcotics at the home of another Faulkner student, Franklin Williams.

Study says state as a whole is generally tax friendly for retirees STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
Cliff Williams / The Outlook
Construction crews work on the site of a new compressor station off Brick Plant Road Tuesday. The project is part of the Sabal Pipeline that will deliver natural gas to Florida.
A recent study by a New York based technology company, which uses financial modeling concepts to provide advice on major financial decisions, rated Tallapoosa County as No. 44 of 67 Alabama counties for tax friendliness for retirees. The SmartAssets study’s methodology is based upon easily obtainable tax information for a certain class of citizens. The study used a base $50,000 income to ascertain how individual city tax policies would impact a retiree. According to the hypothetical numbers plugged into the system, a retiree would receive $15,000 for Social Security, $10,000 from a private pension, $15,000 from retirement savings and $10,000 in wages. Of course the figures are merely hypothetical, but for those whose numbers deviate, they can use a sliding gauge to assess their numbers and the tax friendliness of communities throughout the state. In order to come up with a tally of expected taxes, standard exemptions and deductions were used. In

Wills recaptures ‘Forgotten Alabama’ in new book By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Huntsville native Glenn Wills has travelled over 30,000 miles in the 67 counties of Alabama, mostly over the last for years taking over 15,000 photographs of fallen buildings, bridges and landmarks to create his book Forgotten Alabama. Willis was at the Adelia M. Russell Memorial Library Tuesday to speak about how is book came about. “I was a satellite truck operator for Channel 13 in Birmingham,” Wills explained. “I drove over a quarter million miles and have seen a lot of
Alabama.” Those travels started the idea. “What lead me to Forgotten Alabama, one day I was going down 280 from Birmingham to Auburn,” Wills said. “I glance over between Childersburg and Sylacauga is a 1957 Belair was sitting on the side of the road. It just caught my eye. I had a few minutes and pulled over looked around. There must have been 30 or 40 acres of cars none after 1965. I did not have a camera with me. Now I never go anywhere without a camera.” That junkyard was just the beginning.

DEAR ABBY: I am 23, married for four years and have three children. My wife and I have always had strong sex drives. I recently accepted a dream job that pays very well. On the downside, I work 12 to 14 hours a day, and by the time I get home I’m exhausted. I love my wife very much and want to meet her needs, but she wants sex every night. I’m afraid if I tell her I have to save my energy for my job, it will cause problems. How can I get around this? -- OVERWORKED IN ARKANSAS DEAR OVERWORKED: The shortest path to a goal is a direct line. One thing more important in a marriage than sex is communication. Talk to your wife. If you don’t, she may think that after three children you find her less attractive. Sex is most satisfying when both partners enjoy it. To some women, their stan-
DEAR ABBY Advice
dard of living is at least as important as frequent sex. It’s time to find out if the woman you married is one of them. (If she’s not, you may have to change jobs.) DEAR ABBY: How do I tell my ex I no longer want to baby-sit her son? The boy is not mine. When we lived together she found a job, and I told her I would watch her son on weekends while she was working. I moved out of the apartment we shared a year ago. Between working nights at my job and her son having special needs and requiring fulltime attention, I’m exhausted and losing patience. Is there
a graceful way to bow out? -GETTING STRESSED OUT IN VIRGINIA DEAR GETTING STRESSED: Probably not. However, because you feel the responsibility has become more than you are able to handle, you need to tell your ex she needs to make other arrangements for a sitter for her son. Because your relationship with her ended a year ago, I doubt she’ll be surprised. But do not expect her to welcome the news or like it. DEAR ABBY: I can’t wait until election season is over. One side of my family is liberal; the other side is conservative. At my request, they don’t argue when we are all together. There are occasional disagreements, but fortunately, they never escalate. The problem is, when I spend time with any of them separately I am lectured
nonstop about the “evils” of the other side. They don’t quit. I just want to scream, “Shut up! Shut up! I don’t care!” I am at the point that I no longer want to vote. I don’t know what to do. There’s no way I can avoid my family completely. Please advise. -- “SHUT UP!” IN NEW MEXICO DEAR S.U.: Please don’t allow your family drama to stop YOU from voting. Try this: The next time your relatives inject politics into the conversation, smile, look them in the eye and say, “Let’s talk about something pleasant, shall we?” and change the subject.

Most legislators heard about special session on TV news F
olks, I have been observing and participating in the legislative process for over 50 years. Lest you think I am real old, I started paging in the legislature when I was 12, served in the House of Representatives close to two decades, and have been reporting on the legislative process for now close to two decades and I am here to tell you I have not seen a more up-and-down roller-coaster ride than the recently completed special session to deal with the lottery issue. Extraordinary special sessions of the legislature are the way to go to get something accomplished if you are governor. The legislature has to address the topic for which the governor has called the special session. It is called “the call.” During a regular session there are 500 bills introduced, granted a good many are local bills.
However, there are a great many significant bills as well as the budgets. Therefore, there are a myriad of issues that the legislature can hide behind or get lost in the shuffle. The lottery issue has been looming for years. In fact, the Democrats in the House have been proposing it for close to a decade with the proceeds going to education, much like the Georgia lottery. Don Siegelman’s lottery would have passed in 1999 if the opponents had not created doubt at the last minute about sweetheart deals and chicanery hidden in the proposal. It has now been asleep for 16 years. In the interim, every state around us has started a lottery or full-fledged casino gambling with substantial money being reaped by our sister state’s governmental coffers. Over the years, there has been an incremental weakening of moral opposition in the Heart of Dixie to purchasing

a lottery ticket. There is still a 30 percent pious opposition in the state. That same percentage would also oppose drinking, dancing, and listening to secular music. Interestingly, there was about a one third bloc of senators and representatives, almost all Republican, who refused to let their constituents vote on the issue based on their piety. Even though the majority of the folks they represent would vote for the lottery if given the opportunity. My political observation is that their vote to disallow their people the right to vote may come back to haunt them come reelection time in 2018. People are actually incensed that the legislature could not

simply pass legislation to let them keep their money at home. The lottery issue is a constitutional amendment and requires a three-fifths vote in both chambers to get on the ballot. That is 21 out of 35 votes in the senate and 63 out of 105 votes in the House. Then it would go on the ballot and you would vote yes or no. Polling indicates it would pass by a two-thirds vote. Our good ole Dr. Gov. Robert Bentley decided that the money-eating monster in the General Fund, Medicaid, needed feeding. Therefore, he called the special session and requested that the legislature address more funding for Medicaid. Ole Bentley really is a good man, being a doctor he believes in providing adequate medical care for Alabama’s indigent older and younger people. Sixtysix percent of nursing home residents are on Medicaid and most of the children in the state are on
Medicaid. Bentley is a good ole guy but he is not much of a politician or governor. The legislature has pretty much relegated him to being about as relevant as he was as a back-bench member of the House. However, in the past year he has become not only irrelevant, but somewhat of a joke. Bentley called the session and most of the legislators heard about it on the news. A special session can last 30 calendar days and 12 legislative days. There was an Aug. 24 deadline to get the initiative on the November general election ballot. He should have called the special session for July 15, not Aug. 15. That is about the only input he would have anyway.

On another note, Bentley has pretty much been a failure in the legislative process. However, he deserves credit for showing resolve and statesmanship when it comes to standing up to the Vegas/Indian casino gambling interests and not succumbing to their intimidation. His decision to follow the constitution and leave the promulgation of the local casinos in the hands of the local sheriffs is to be commended. See you next week.

he Alexander City Parks & Recreation 50+ wants you to know that it’s never too late to have a good time. Lasting memories are formed when we do something that’s out of the ordinary. It feels like our childhood was so long because we were learning and experiencing new things. The years that are between 20-80 feel just as long as the first 20 years, because 20-80 consists mostly of routine. We’re literally not doing anything memorable. Do something different! You’re never too old to have fun. If you happen to see Mary Roberts, Diane Smelly, Rebecca Northington or Lillian Howard, just ask! These ladies had a stomping good time in Harpersville, Alabama. The 50+ Fundraiser group is asking for your breads and goodies to sale at the Sweet Shop for Oktoberfest this year. This group is solely made of and directed by 50+ members. The group is asking that you deliver baked goods on Friday, October 7th between the hours of 8-Noon at the Activity Center. Please, bring items in containers that you no longer wish to keep. Also, no cutting and bagging is required of you, just whole pan treats will do. If you need help with your laptop, iPad, cell phone or any other type

Better see them now, because they will be retiring. Rev. Jeff Dye will minister the word and a covered dish lunch will be served following that, so mark your calendar for this Sunday, Sept. 25.

yesterday, as I went down the back steps, a large whitetail was just in the shrubs behind the washing lines and I watched as she turned to get deeper into the trees. It has been quite a few years since we have had the deer to be brave enough (with our dogs readily on-guard) to come right up close to the house. The plentiful squirrels have been eating unripe pecans from our trees, knocking the nuts out and to the ground as well. The squirrels torment our dogs, who bark from the ground, just daring one to jump down or fall. So many nuts have been wasted prior to readiness, still bitter and very short of plumpness. I don’t know if we shall have any nuts left. Therefore, I will have to buy them for holiday baking. The Wetumpka Depot Players have a new musical, called “Young Frankenstein” and according to the Director Kristy Meanor, “We are laughing every night in rehearsal” and “There is nothing spooky about this campy, bawdy comedy.” The musical is based on the 1974 film of the same title, which starred the late Gene Wilder and featured the familiar jokes and comedy of Mel Brooks. Show dates are Sept. 29 and 30, Oct. 1, 6-8 and 13-15 at 7:30 p.m. plus Oct. 9 at 2 p.m. Tickets at the door are $15 and $12 in advance. The box office is open Wednesday-Friday 9am-3pm or you can call to reserve seating at 334.868.1440. I leave this week with a quote from a well-admired and great man, President Harry S. Truman, who said, “You can’t get rich in politics unless you’re a crook.” Now I am thinking of all the millionaires that govern and how much it costs to get into those jobs. Until next week, “Roll Tide” and keep smiling. Rosie

Tax
continued from page 1
determining property taxes, the study divided median property taxes paid by median home values in each city. A weighing system was used for each type of expense or tax retirees may face based upon the significance of that tax on the retiree’s bottom line income. Meaning that income tax receives the most significant weight, followed by property, sales and fuel taxes. According to the study, Tallapoosa County retirees making $50,000 would pay $6,256 in income taxes and a 0.32 percent property tax rate. That same retiree would pay an estimated $1,179 in sales taxes and $300 in fuel taxes in Tallapoosa County, according to SmartAssets. All of those levels are lower than the state average, according to numbers contained in the study. One city that is partially in Tallapoosa County actually ranks No. 1 in the survey as most retiree friendly. Tallassee was at the top of all Alabama cities
for tax friendliness. A 0.29 percent property tax rate and just an average sales tax hit of $766 were the main reasons that had Tallassee ranked No. 1. According to the study, Alabama is in general a tax friendly state for retirees. The study states, “Retirees who own a home in Alabama benefit from some of the lowest property tax rates in the country. On the other hand, sales taxes in Alabama rank as the third highest in the U.S.” Property tax rates in Alabama are effectively 0.43 percent according to the study, with an typical homeowner paying only $528 annually in property taxes, which is about one-fourth the national average. Tax benefits in Alabama also include the fact that Social Security and public pension benefits are not taxed in Alabama. (Staff writers William Carroll and Mitch Sneed contributed to this report.)
Pipeline
continued from page 1
Tallapoosa County, activity has ramped up. With the project gaining visibility in the community, Sabal Trail Director of Community Outreach Andrea Grover and Energy Consultant Randy Lewis toured the area Tuesday. The pair met with community leaders, the media and residents to introduce themselves and answer any questions about the scope of the project and how they could be sure that they were being community conscious not only during construction, but after the pipeline is operational. “We’ve been active and talking to people in this community since the process started in 2013,” Grover said. “We are obviously excited about this project and think it going to be great in that it is going to increase the natural gas supply for an entire region, which often results in a more competitive marketplace. “But more than that, we feel like it’s going to be a great thing for this community in terms of dollars put into the economy during construction as well as tax dollars for years to come.” The pipeline is scheduled to be complete as soon as mid-2017. It will mean about 515 miles of 36-inch and 24-inch diameter pipeline being built by 5,600 workers. The pipeline will follow existing utility corridors like power and other pipeline right-of-way. It will be installed across an estimated 2,400 property parcels, owned by nearly 1,650 people. In Tallapoosa County alone the pipeline will
(256) 234-6366
span about 20.5 miles. While being built, Grover said they will try to use local vendors whenever possible. “We held construction contractor fairs in search of services like paving, fuel, landscaping, food, services, office supplies, welding supplies, equipment leasing, equipment repair, security, housing, fencing, sanitation, sand and gravel, cement, portable toilets and lumber. “So that’s one way that we will give back during the construction passes. During the construction phase, the project will create an estimated 1,112 jobs in Alabama.” Grover said that projections are that the pipeline will mean about $1,090,797 in yearly property tax dollars to Tallapoosa County. While in the area on Tuesday, the company made a pretty substantial investment in the community well in advance of the first natural gas beginning to move through the pipeline. At Central Alabama Community College Tuesday, Dr. Barbara Spears, Dr. Sherri Taylor, CACC President Dr. Susan Burrows and State Rep. Mark Tuggle were on hand as Grover presented the college with a check for $50,000. “We plan to do this in community along the route,” Grover said. “Education is important to us and we feel that some of these students may even be part of our future workforce. We see it as an investment into the future of the communities that we will serve.”

TROJANS GO 4-0 AT TOURNEY ANDY GRAHAM Columnist
Auburn loses at home ... again
I
n 2013, the Auburn Tigers won the SEC title and led the nation in rushing offense with 328.3 yards per game. The Tigers didn’t lose a home game all season and came up just 13 seconds short of their second national championship in four years. My, how times have changed. Does anyone have a spare flux capacitor I could gerry-rig in my Ford E-150 to do a little time traveling? I miss 2013 more and more every day. Auburn actually rose all the way to No. 2 in the country in 2014 before losing to Mississippi State in Starkville on a rainy Saturday afternoon in mid-October. The Tigers would rebound with a home win over South Carolina and a road win over Ole Miss to secure a No. 3 national ranking one week into November. Believe it or not, that win over South Carolina in 2014 was the last victory over an SEC opponent in Jordan Hare Stadium and we’re still waiting for another one. Auburn only has five victories at home since Nov. 1, 2014. Those wins came against Samford, Jacksonville State in OT, San Jose State, Idaho and Arkansas State. Obviously, the Tigers could not capitalize on their latest opportunity against an SEC rival at home falling to Texas A&M 29-16 this past Saturday night. After Auburn made it look easy last week (or perhaps Arkansas State was the one who made it look so easy), the offense sputtered again for most of the night against a quality opponent. Sean White may not be a SEC quality quarterback, but it’s very difficult to evaluate because I do not believe he has been put in a position to succeed. White’s strength is his accuracy throwing the football. Against A&M, he was not allowed to throw the ball downfield hardly at all. Malzahn chose to run practically his entire offense within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage. Auburn threw the ball on first down a little more, but they were mostly lateral passes, which do nothing to soften up the defense. The Aggie cornerbacks were jumping routes and crashing the line of scrimmage which, in turn, disrupts the Auburn running game as well. I know Texas A&M has a dangerous pass rush, but not taking advantage of the Aggies aggression by throwing deep with double moves was flat out poor coaching. There were also some ridiculous play designs, which, again, reflect poorly on the coaching. Texas A&M DE Myles Garrett is considered one of the best players in all of America. The Tigers left him unblocked on several occasions and were asking right guard Braden Smith to pull across the formation and pick him up in less than a second. I don’t blame Smith. It is literally physically impossible for him to keep his assignment. I would’ve thought that was obvious after the first time they ran it, but they actually continued to run it several more times. The AU offense now ranks No. 128 out of 128 teams in tackles for loss allowed. The defense continues to give maximum effort and continues to keep Auburn in ballgames despite a loathsome offense. It will become harder and harder for that effort level to remain high if the offense doesn’t start carrying its own weight. I wholeheartedly believe Auburn has the talent to beat LSU and end this ridiculous conference-losing streak. However, my faith that Gus Malzahn can figure it out and put a consistent product on the field is all but lost. Andy Graham writes a regular sports column for Tallapoosa Publishers.

CACC tops Fall Classic on home field By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor
The Central Alabama Community College baseball team walked away from last week’s CACC Fall Classic with not one, but two triumphs. Opening day of the three-day tourney saw the Trojans defeat Andrew College in two games by scores of 6-4 and 7-6. On Friday, CACC did it again, beating Lawson State 8-5 and Calhoun State 8-7 for a tournament record of 4-0. This was the last time the Trojans play at home until spring. CACC next heads to Montgomery on Thursday for the AlaBCA Fall Classic at Alabama State. There the Trojans match up against Lurleen B. Wallace Community College at 1:30 p.m. and Wallace Community College Dothan at 6:30 p.m. Friday, CACC hits the road to Livingston for the University of West Alabama Tournament. There the Trojans face Marion Military Institute at 1:30 p.m. and East Mississippi Junior College at 5 p.m.

issues. Not only with the street sweepers, but with storm drains, too. “Anything we can do to get the word out for people to do their best not to put unnecessary things into the street will hopefully keep from creating issues in the future.” Wall said that in addition to creating a mess, he did point out that the discharge from mowers has the potential of being dangerous to those in its path. “It just makes good sense for a lot of reasons,” Wall
said. Mayor Charles Shaw agreed with Wall and said that if people see a problem, they can report it to city officials. “It is against city ordinance,” Shaw said. “They can report it to Gaines Hodnett in our building department and he will address it.” Calls to the building department can be made to 256-329-6712.

“I started seeing other old things, an old house, abandoned gas station; cross a bridge and look over and there is the older bridge,” Wills said. “I started to realize these things are everywhere and I started to take pictures of them.” But the book did not happen until Wills lost his job. “In 2009 I got replaced by the Internet,” Wills said. “Eventually in 2012, I decided to do this as a full time project. I got me a decent camera and went out on the road. At first I just did random trips. It was not real efficient; I was not finding a whole lot.” How was Wills going to cover a state with over 54,000 square miles? “How am I going to see all of Alabama?” he thought. Wills decided to use some technology and do a little homework. “In the summer of 2013, I decided to plan,” Wills said. “What I did was break the state up in 16 man-
ageable sections. I would scan each section o Google maps, mile after mile. Every time I see something I put a yellow tack and take a look in Streetview. I would keep scanning find an old house, derelict building. “Eventually, it would take many hours I would find like 75 to a 100 places to go in a section. After about 400 hours later, I found about 2,000 places across the state that I could go. Now all I had to do was save the map and convert into something my GPS could understand.” Wills does not like to make his photographs all year. “I only shoot in the winter to avoid poison ivy and kudzu and you can see a lot more,” Wills said. “The dreariness of winter also adds to the photos.” Forgotten Alabama includes photographs from every county in the state. And Wills already has another book in the works, More Forgotten Alabama.

Montgomery police released a statement shortly after the incident that indicated during the robbery attempt, the homeowner shot in self-defense, killing Brooks. The incident occurred on Woodmere Boulevard in Montgomery on Dec. 3, 2014. Because the men were allegedly committing first-degree robbery when Brooks was fatally shot, the accused co-conspirators have been charged with his murder under Alabama law section 13A-6-2. Brooks a resident of Chelsea, was just 19 at the time of the
incident. All of those involved were athletes at Faulkner at the time of the incident. Brooks and Williams, like Russell ,were members Faulkner’s junior varsity football team. Wall was a member of the school’s soccer team. According to court records all three will be arraigned on Sept. 28 in Montgomery County Circuit Court and the suspects were allowed to remain free on $75,000 bond that was posted shortly after their arrest.
