Council to have light meeting By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
The Alexander City City Council is looking to clarify language in an ordinance at tonight’s meeting. The ordinance was passed by the council in 1994 and prohibit the distribution and consumption of alcoholic
beverages on city property. According to supporting documentation provided by the city, the language will be changed to remove the conflict with ordinances passed for the arts and entertainment district and at the city owned Lakewinds Golf Course. The city is licensed to distribute alcoholic beverages by the Alabama
Beverage Control Board at the golf course. The city also permits the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages on city property and streets in the arts and entertainment district through an ordinance passed in 2015 creating the district to attract consumers to downtown. The council is set to take up a resolu-
tion to authorize the mayor to execute an agreement with Local Government Services LLC to audit city utility poles used by other services like Spectrum and AT&T so rental agreements with those entities can be worked out. The council will also vote to accept $60,000 from the Alexander City Board See COUNCIL • Page 9
Avoiding scholarship scams: Burton shares information he gives to BRHS students By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
Now that school is back in session, high school seniors are hard at work, not only getting their schoolwork completed, but also filling out college applications and forms for financial aid. While there are many organizations choosing to offer those moving to higher education a way to make their schooling more affordable, there are also those who want to take advantage of high school seniors, scamming them out of money while promising non-existent financial aid opportunities. With so many scammers out there posing as reputable foundations and organizations, how can applicants know which ones are honest and which ones are out to dupe them? Along with following such common sayings as, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is,” Benjamin Russell High School Senior Counselor Richard Burton reviews how to spot and avoid scam scholarships with the senior class every year. “I tell them they need to be careful when giving out their information,” Burton said. “I urge them to be sense-smart when they apply for scholarships.” See SCHOLARSHIP • Page 3

ister Hazel frontman Ken Block connects with his audience Sunday night during the Labor Day concert at The Amp on Lake Martin. Despite a storm that brought rain and heavy wind mid-show, the Gainesville, Florida band staged an energetic performance that kept the wet fans dancing until the encore. Sister Hazel began as an upbeat alternative rock band that blended Southern rock and pop sounds and recently began recording county music. Sunday’s concert featured original tunes from all those genres, as well as covers of ZZ Top, Hank Williams Jr. and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, another band that started in Gainesville.

The class, which begins at 1 p.m. Wednesday, is free and open to the public.

Russell Library director Amy Huff speaks during an event last summer. During the month of September, anyone who signs up for a library card at the Russell Library or Mamie’s Place will be entered into a drawing for a gift card to Playhouse Cinemas. ‘The advantages to having a card are infinite,’ Huff said.
In 1987, the American Library Association designated September as Library Card Sign-up Month, encouraging the public to be involved at their local library by obtaining their “passport to learning,” a library card. This year, the Adelia M. Russell Library is changing things up and offering a special incentive to those who sign up for a new card as a way to celebrate the month. Anyone who signs up for a library card at the Russell Library or at Mamie’s Place Children’s Library during the month of September will be entered into a drawing for a gift See LIBRARY • Page 9

DEAR ABBY: The wife of “Headed for the Open Road” (June 25) will never forgive herself if she doesn’t accompany her newly retired husband on his open-road adventures. After working for 40 years and retiring from my third job, my life partner and I went everywhere and did everything together. Three and a half months after my retirement, he passed away suddenly. I would never have forgiven myself if I hadn’t experienced our frozen Jeep in Yellowstone or the eerie silence on the edge of the Hoh Rain Forest in western Washington state. That wife needs to get off her duff and have the adventures of a lifetime -- unless, of course, she doesn’t want to get closer to her husband. That would be a shame. -- RICK T. IN CALIFORNIA DEAR RICK: Thanks for writing and sharing your experiences. Many other passionate travelers responded, offering guidance to “Headed” in making his dreams of adventure a reality. Read on: DEAR ABBY: Maybe the problem is the idea of a road trip, not the notion of travel. Perhaps he should suggest they go on a cruise or vacation

in a nice resort somewhere. She might warm up more to travel if it sounded like a vacation rather than a long drive. And cruises are great -- no daily packing/unpacking, opportunities to “dress up” (if you want), dancing, nightly entertainment, moonlit walks, not to mention days in exotic ports around the world. By the way, my husband and I -- retirees in our 70s -- have just returned from a five-week road trip in France. Far more appealing than seeing Mt. Rushmore again! -TRAVELER, WITH A CAPITAL “T” DEAR ABBY: The husband could rent an RV to travel. His wife doesn’t want to be cooped up, and an RV would have a living room, couch, TV/DVD, an onboard toilet, separate bedroom and a small kitchen. In other words, it would be like she’s still at home, only moving. The couple could even arrange other transportation at their

Mine included a road trip to Utah to see the canyons; he wanted a cruise to the war memorials in Hawaii. Neither of us was interested in the other’s trip, so he took his adult daughter on the cruise, and three girlfriends and I took the road trip. We both had wonderful times, took tons of photos to share, and came back with lots to talk about. My motto is, don’t put off something you really want to do. -- CLAIRE G. OUT WEST DEAR ABBY: Maybe they could take shorter trips if her objection is the car travel. Or they could fly to a destination, rent a car and see the sights. They could even take a train trip across the country. That wife should be grateful they are both physically able to travel and spend precious time together. -- WISH I COULD IN TEXAS DEAR ABBY: My oldest grandson was my traveling companion.

He was an avid John Wayne fan and could spend hours watching westerns. He is survived by his daughters, Sabrina Lightsey (Jonathan) of Jacksons
We had marvelous adventures and built wonderful memories. These usually were trips from California to Montana, North Dakota or Minnesota to visit other family members, but we were flexible with our time and would take side jaunts when we came upon a site that looked interesting. Perhaps “Headed” could do this on a rotating basis with his grandchildren. -- KAY F. BEHIND THE WHEEL DEAR ABBY: As a minister, I have advised women like “Headed’s” wife. I said, “Eventually one of you will get sick. If it’s him, you may spend years caring for him, regretting that you never took the trip. And if you’re the one whose health fails, he will put you in a nursing home and take the trip!” Most of them relented, took the trip and enjoyed it. One couple lived another 15 years and told me repeatedly they appreciated my advice. -- REV.

Some of the key examples Burton gives his students are not to give out their date of birth or Social Security number, as reputable scholarship sponsors do not require this information. Should a scholarship application ask for money in advance, he said this is also a red flag to look for. Along with the information Burton provides to his seniors, websites like FinAid.org list things to look out for when receiving scholarship information. These include telling students they are guaranteed to win some form of financial aid by applying, scholarships where the financial aid matching service will do all the work for the applicant and claims of having a high success rate with applicants or using excessive hyperbole in their claims. While there are a number of scammers seeking to take advantage of scholarship applicants, Burton said he has not seen any fake financial aid offers and applications cross his desk, which he credits to his sticking with reputable sources of scholarship money. Furthermore, he said there have not been any students at Benjamin Russell who have made him Burton aware of being scammed by a less than reputable financial aid offer.

Two political storms about to collide
Our
View
Time’s ticking: W Educate yourself before you vote I
t’s officially September and we can’t be the only ones who feel like this year has flown by. While there are still about two months before we head to the polls, time will fly by. We feel it’s necessary to remind readers as often as we can to educate themselves prior to the election. We say this a lot, but we feel it’s important to remind our readers of the upcoming election. We would like to see a great voter turnout and get as many people to the polls as possible, so we will bring up the election again now, and probably several more times before November rolls around. But how do you decide who will get your vote once you do sit down with the ballot? Party affiliation is the No. 1 fact considered by most voters, studies have shown. People align themselves with political parties that lean towards their own personal beliefs, of course, but, as voters, we need to dig deeper than just party labels. We need to get to know these candidates and find out what and who we really believe in. Candidates are far more than the R or D next to their name. That’s why we need to take this time before the election to really educate ourselves on the candidates and see who we want to vote for. As reader Alexander Nall says in his letter to the editor below, “Political parties are not teams. Candidates and policies are not something you cheer for and support unconditionally because they fly your favorite colors.” We encourage you to look beyond the parties and look within each candidate. Who do you honestly think best fits the bill for each position? Don’t let cute commercials or advertising steer you one way or the other, and don’t just vote for a candidate because they’re a Republican or Democrat like you. Don’t listen to what your peers are telling you because that’s what they believe. What do you believe? Educate yourself, and vote for who you believe in.
ashington D.C. is a political swamp of corruption and the election of President Trump has exposed that corruption. When the FBI and Department of Justice, two agencies that should prosecute corruption with a blindfold, engage in patrician corruption itself, we are in trouble as a nation. In one storm, Deputy Attorney General Rob Rosenstein signed off on a FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) warrant against the Trump campaign, during the election based on false information gathered by the Democrat National Committee (DNC), which was paid for by the Clinton Campaign, but not revealed to the FISA judge, in order to persuade public opinion so Trump would not be elected, thereby protecting the swamp. Just revealed, FBI intelligence analyst Jonathan Moffa testified that FBI ranking members were leaking false information to the press to use the collaborated stories from the press to obtain FISA Warrants. Later, Rosenstein testified he just signed the warrant without looking at it, which is a violation of the law. However, since the election, 25 employees of the FBI and DOJ have fired. In order to protect the swamp, Rosenstein appointed a “special council” headed by another swamp creature, Robert Mueller, to find “Trump-Russian Collusion.” While there is Russian collusion tied to the DNC and the Clintons through Fusion GPS, the Clinton Foundation, and the Uranium One scandal when Hillary approved 20 percent of American uranium sold to the Russians in exchange of millions donated to the Clinton Foundation, Mueller, the head of the FBI during that exchange, ignored the collusion. Mueller instead tar-
FRANK AQUILA Columnist geted anyone on the Trump campaign for tax fraud or “hush money” paid to the “Manhattan Madam,” who accused Trump of an alleged affair. The payments were made with his own money prior to being elected president and therefore legal. However, Mueller, using Russian tactics of his own, must make a case for a crime, at all cost, in order to protect the swamp. Since there was no Trump-Russian collusion, Mueller will instead use the “Manhattan Madam” and tax fraud by associates, or anything else he can use, to recommend the impeachment of Trump in order to remove him from office, thereby protecting the swamp. However, another storm is brewing. Rosenstein has evaded government oversight from Congress in his refusal to provide classified information to the Congressional Oversight Committee that allegedly reveals corruption within the FBI and DOJ. Rosenstein is trying to protect the swamp. Trump has instead hinted that he will order the information unredacted and declassified, revealing corruption of the swamp of Washington. Meanwhile, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has referred six matters of investigation to Inspector General, Michael Horowitz to investigate the swamp. Horowitz was appointed Inspector General by President Obama and retained by Trump. The first matter completed by Horowitz resulted in top FBI and DOJ employees being fired. Now with five investigations remaining, it
is assumed those investigation are centered on the fake FISA Warrant, Fusion GPS, the Clinton Foundation, the Uranium One scandal, and the corruption within the swamp of Washington DC. Sessions has appointed two Special Prosecutors, Huber and Hiland, along with 470 U.S. Attorneys to work alongside Horowitz, who will or already has begun indictments to prosecute. It is very likely the evidence was brought before a Grand Jury to bring charges in all 50 states. While the average number of sealed indictments within the government is normally 1,200 at any given time, 40,483 sealed indictments were filed in courts across America, waiting to be unsealed and executed. No one knows exactly what is in those 40,000 sealed indictments; but every indication is that Huber, Hiland, Horowitz, along with 470 U.S. Attorneys and a Grand Jury will be releasing something big soon with many within or connected to Washington being prosecuted for crimes. These two political storms are about to collide with the patrician Mueller investigation hitting first, timed in an effort, to effect the Midterm elections with recommendations to impeach Trump. However, a much bigger storm will punch right back and the magnitude will hit hard enough to shake up Washington and be felt throughout the nation. Trump has always stated, “Why tell your enemy what your plan is?” which is making for two political storms heading right on a collision course very soon.

Dear Editor, These upcoming elections are among the most important in our lives. It’s easy to become caught up in emotions surrounding party labels and policy decisions, but no matter how strongly you feel, you have to remember — political parties are not teams. Candidates and policies are not something you cheer for and support unconditionally because they fly your favorite colors. For weeks we’ve had people arguing back and forth in the editorials, fighting for Democrats, fighting for Republicans, insulting and lying about each other. So much time lost to our people fighting one another. Politics are difficult to discuss; I get it. It’s always difficult to hear someone disagree with something that
you’re passionate about, especially when the argument is about something that will affect all of your lives. But politics are about ideas. Ideas don’t get stronger unless they find opposition and sharpen themselves. Discussion and civil arguments, not insults and lying, are how we will move our ideas forward in order to build the strongest country possible. Fighting each other weakens our ideas. If our ideas are weak, our leaders are weak. If our leaders are weak, our country is weak. If our country is weak, we all suffer. All of us need to ensure that we are working with, not against each other, so that our ideas are sharp, our people are strong, and our country is great. To do that, we need to make sure everyone makes their voices heard.
We’ve started a new group here in Alexander City to help people do exactly that. PAVE — The Project to Accelerate Voter Engagement — as a group believes we need to work together to create the best ideas possible. We work to help get everyone registered to vote and to see that everyone is given the most clear, unbiased information possible to make their choices. If you want to use your voice to help rebuild the crumbling foundations of this country, if you want to discuss politics with people who will not attack you and want only to listen, and if you want to make this country a great place for everyone to live, then join us. Alexander Nall PAVE The Way — End Voter Apathy

Find The 12 Differences
Hedgehogs
Hedgehogs are small mammals found in many parts of the World. They look cute and cuddly, despite being covered in thousands of tiny spikes that protect their bodies. They are small animals, ranging in size from one-to-four pounds and only a few inches in length. They are nocturnal which means that they sleep during the day and are awake at night. Some live in forests, while others are able to survive in desert climates. Only certain types of hedgehogs hibernate, or sleep through the Winter. Others sometimes go into a trance-like sleep for shorter periods of time. That is called torpor. Hedgehogs are omnivores which means they eat plants and meat. They like small insects, such as scorpions or spiders. They will also forage around for Using a grid helps when drawing. Copy the fallen fruit, mushrooms, and other small prey. A hedgehog may shoot his prickly spines up when threatened, but most hedgehog square by square below. tend to curl up into a small ball. A special muscle that runs the length of their bodies allows them to curl completely into a ball, protecting their soft bellies, head, feet and legs from a predator. Most animals will avoid their spines. Many people wish to keep hedgehogs as pets, but it is illegal in several states in the United States.

card to Playhouse Cinemas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone who comes in to check their card information or update any of their info will also be entered into the drawing,â&#x20AC;? library director Amy Huff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are just trying to put an emphasis on how valuable having a library card can be.â&#x20AC;? Along with being able to check out books, Huff said there are many other valuable things a library card gives patrons access to. By having a library card, patrons can access either of the computer labs, one located on the ground floor in the Russell Library and the other housed at Mamieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place. Requests for books through an interlibrary loan service can be placed with a card, while patrons can also gain access to the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inventory of e-books and digital magazines. When applying for a card, patrons can sign up for the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly email newsletter, which lists new releases and details many more of the latest goings-on at the library. They can also sign up to receive text messages, reminding them when checked-out items are due and when items on reserve are available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The advantages to having a card are infinite,â&#x20AC;? Huff said. Though the library is not holding any special programs in celebration of Library Card Sign-Up Month, Huff said many of the programs the library offers that took a break over the summer months are returning. Computer classes will be starting back soon, while the English Learnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club led by librarian Che Harris is also starting back up. At the same time, Mamieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place is still offering its regularly scheduled story time on Wednesday mornings and board games and puzzles on Thursday afternoons.
For those who may not have applied for a library card before, Huff said the process is very simple. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All you have to do is bring in two forms of ID with your current address on them,â&#x20AC;? Huff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When children want to register for a card, they have to have a parent with them.â&#x20AC;? The library then shares its card and computer policy and has the applicant fill out a card with their information on it. Once the information has been entered into the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s computer system, the card is activated and ready to go, all at no cost to the applicant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all very easy,â&#x20AC;? Huff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A library card is a valuable thing.â&#x20AC;?

Above, Mamieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place librarian Melissa Moncrief entertains children during an event last summer. Along with returning programs, the library will still have its regularly scheduled story time on Wednesday mornings and board games and puzzles on Thursday afternoons. During the month of September, anyone who signs up for a library card at the Russell Library or Mamieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place will be entered into a drawing for a gift card to Playhouse Cinemas.

LUKE ROBINSON Columnist
SEC makes big statement on first weekend
T
he Southeastern Conference has taken a lot of grief over the summer. Criticisms ranged from overrated to underscheduled. In other words, ‘The SEC don’t play nobody!” Maybe some of those claims are warranted. This league does play only eight intra-conference games. But, maybe, those eight conference games are equal to, say, nine conference contests in the other leagues. Maybe the SEC plays a few cupcakes. There are more than a few directional schools on SEC slates. Or, maybe, the SEC just makes a few good teams look like cupcakes. Even though it’s been only one week, it seems the SEC made a rather large statement. Outside of the predictably-lopsided glorified scrimmage wins by most of the league, there were some “Oh, wow” moments. Auburn beats Washington. LSU knocks off Miami. Alabama wrecks Louisville. Overall the SEC went 13-1 on college football’s first Saturday. Only an overmatched Tennessee team kept the league from going undefeated. Meanwhile, the Big 12 had one team (Kansas) lose to an FCS squad (aka, “a cupcake”), another (Texas) lose to a grieving Maryland program playing without its head coach; another (Kansas State) almost drop its opener to South Dakota State. The Big Ten’s Golden Boy (Jim Harbaugh) had his retroglasses slapped off by the Golden Domers. Penn State was taken into overtime by notorious Big Ten-slayer Appalachian State. Michigan State was incredibly pedestrian when it played Friday night, too. The Pac-12? Yeesh. What a disastrous first weekend for that bunch. The preseason favorite loses. Stanford seemed far from being a contender. Then UCLA loses Chip Kelly’s home debut. Arizona also falls at home to BYU. I guess the question is, “If the SEC is overrated, what conference is better?” The answer is, of course, there isn’t one better. Not while teams are trotting out talent the way the SEC is now. Alabama is packing a new Hawaiian Punch along with is traditionally strong defense. With the Tide’s core of receivers, its litany of running backs and a rejuvenated return game, Alabama looked like the nation’s scariest team. Meanwhile in Atlanta, defensive lineman Nick Coe looked like Mothra shoved into Auburn’s road white uniforms the way he terrorized the Washington backfield. The Tigers outmanned Washington all game long and if their defense can perform like that until the offense catches up, Auburn is right in the middle of the College Football Playoff hunt. Even much-maligned Ed Orgeron had LSU growling against Miami. Those Tigers have NFL talent all over the field and are a threat to beat anyone when they play together. Hate on the SEC all you want; the league is back — if it even ever left — with a vengeance. After last season I assumed there was no way the SEC (or any conference) would get two teams in the College Football Playoffs again. After Saturday, I am not so sure the SEC won’t get four teams in.

Auburn, Alabama begin seasons with key victories
STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
No. 9-ranked Auburn erased any possible doubts, as it knocked off No. 6 Washington, 21-16, on Saturday to start the season. No. 1 Alabama, on the other hand, lived up to all its expectations with a undeniable 51-14 defeat of Louisville. Auburn won its game in come-from-behind fashion, as JaTarvious Whitlow’s 10-yard touchown on third down gave Auburn a five-point lead with 6:15 remaining. “We are real pleased,” Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said in a release. “We beat one of the better teams in the country. We faced some major adversity. Our team found a way to win.” Jarrett Stidham completed 26 of 36 passes for 273 yards and a touchdown. Kam Martin rushed for 80 yards on 22 carries. Ryan Davis had seven receptions for 52 yards. “This team, the chemistry is unreal, in my opinion,” Stidham said. “We’re all so close. We just want to win for each other and we want to win for these coaches.” As it had done throughout the second half, Auburn’s defense came up big time after time, including the Huskies’ final possession. On third-and-13 from the Auburn 40, Big Kat Bryant sacked Washington quarterback Jake Browning. The Tigers again harassed Browning on fourth down, forcing an incompletion.

Auburn ran out the clock, celebrating a top 10 victory and posing with the old leather helmet trophy. “I’m just proud of our team — the way that we won,” Malzahn said. “Sometimes it’s how you win a game that can help you later in the season.”
Alabama dominates in season opener
From start to finish, Alabama was in control of its destiny, as it easily overtook Louisville, outgaining the Cardinals
519-268 in total offense. The Crimson Tide defense picked up right where it left off last year, holding Louisville to just 16 rushing yards. Sophomore quarterback Tua Tagovailoa led the Alabama offense, totaling three touchdowns and 253 yards of offense in his first career start. Tagovailoa went 12-for-16 for 227 yard with two passing touchdowns to sophomore receiver Jerry Jeudy, while rushing for 26 yards and a score. On the receiving end

Alabama’s Annual Youth Dove Hunts are scheduled to begin Sept. 8 in most parts of the state.
outdooralabama.com/hunting. Alabama’s Youth Dove Hunt events are held in open fields and staffed by WFF personnel, which encourages a safe, secure environment for both parents and participants. The program also makes use of private lands and fields opened for use by community members, which fosters good relationships between hunters
and private landowners. To participate in the hunts, youth hunters must be age 15 or younger and accompanied by an adult at least 21 years old (or a parent) who holds a valid state hunting license and a Harvest Information Program (HIP) stamp. Hunters should obtain their license and HIP stamp before the hunt since they will not be
available on-site. Before each hunt, a short welcome session with reminders on hunting safety will be conducted. All hunters are encouraged to wear eye protection and earplugs. Doves are migratory and covered by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has special rules and regulations that apply to dove hunting which all hunters must follow. To review the Alabama Cooperative Extension System recommendations for plantings related to dove management, visit www. outdooralabama.com/whathunt/mourning-dove-huntingalabama. The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of Alabama’s natural resources through four divisions: Marine Resources, State Parks, State Lands, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries.
