Russell guilty of trafficking hydrocodone By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

A Tallapoosa County jury spent more time walking between the jury box and the jury room Tuesday to allow Fifth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Ray Martin to take up matters than it did to deliberate the fate of Ronnie “Flip” Russell Jr. It took the jury of four white males, four white females, three black females

City closes on new city hall, property

Firefighters use family event to bond

By JIMMY WIGFIELD Managing Editor

Pens will give way to saws and lawnmowers this week after Alexander City officials wrote a $2.55 million check and signed paperwork Tuesday to take ownership of the site of the new municipal complex. The city closed on the transaction at the office of municipal attorney Larkin Radney, using money it transferred from the electric fund to pay property owner Gary Nelson for the 56 acres, including the former Russell Sales Office, the former Russell Guest House and some duplex apartments it plans to demolish. The city council voted Monday to approve the transfer of the money so the city could take possession of the property and begin converting the 85,000-square foot sales office into a new city hall where all departments will be consolidated. Once the city’s $9 million loan for the project through Valley Bank is finalized within the next 60 days, the electric fund will be repaid the $2.55 million, leaving $6.45 million for renovations — most of that for a new roof and HVAC systems. “It came off without a hitch,” Alexander City community development director Al Jones said. “It belongs to the city now.” See CITY • Page 3

t was a race against the clock and each other during the Alexander City Fire Department’s firefighter challenge Saturday. The challenge was held as part of its firefighter appreciation and family day at Station 2. The firefighter challenge relay involved running up the fire tower, pulling a bag with a hose up the tower, hitting a sled, running between barrels, using the water hose and dragging a dummy across the finish line. “I think we had it in the bag until we fell (near the end),” firefighter Zabrinski Salter said. “It’s pretty easy. It’s really just trying to stay in shape and it’s actually pretty fun. I love it.” The B shift, made up of Jesse Lashley, Taylor Phillips, Tim McIntire, Tevorius Russell, Brandon Bryan and Blake Hudson, won the challenge and was given gift certificates to local businesses. Firefighter Zackary Zipperich said he had fun doing the challenge. “It’s something we do all the time,” Zipperich said. “(It’s) good training (and a) good little fun (thing) for the

New Site Mayor Phil Blasingame told councilmembers at Monday night’s town council meeting he would like to see the town annex property to make drawing required council districts easier. “(Town attorney) Mac (Clayton) informed us we have to draw up five districts,” Blasingame said. “It is a process. It is not something that can be done in one meeting. Prior to drawing up districts there are areas I would like to see us annex to make things easier. It is to make everything flow, makes the districts easier. It would give us a larger number of residences.” Blasingame said the areas are already served by the New Site Police Department as they are in the police jurisdiction. “There are no real issues,” police chief Phillip Weddle said. “We already patrol those areas.” See ANNEXATION • Page 9

The Outlook

Everything changes after man reveals a secret he has kept DEAR ABBY: I am a woman in my 30s working two jobs to make ends meet after a divorce. A few months ago, I met a nice gentleman who has been understanding about my situation and crazy hours, and we have a pretty stable relationship. Feelings have developed, and we’re thinking about getting more serious. He recently disclosed that he’s actually very wealthy. He works full time and has a modest lifestyle, so the news caught me offguard. I enjoyed his company before the revelation, and I almost wish he hadn’t told me. Now that his secret is out, he has been going over the top with gifts and offering to pay for things so I won’t have to work a second job. Because I have always worked hard and offered to pay for dates, I have declined his offers, and I feel really awkward about accepting the extravagant gifts he insists on giving me. I think it’s making him more

DEAR ABBY Advice attracted to me because I’m not like his past girlfriends who tried to take advantage of his wealth. This may seem like a happy complaint, but I’m starting to have doubts about this relationship because it seems like we live in completely different worlds. I really like him and want this to work out, regardless of his money. Do you think there’s a way to salvage this relationship and turn it back to the way things were? -DON’T WANT THE GLASS SLIPPERS DEAR DON’T: I sure do. Tell the gentleman exactly what you told me, or show him this column and tell him the letter was written by you. In a successful relationship, honest communication is essential.

Now that you know more about his financial situation, things will never be the way they were, but by continuing the conversation, the two of you can navigate through this. DEAR ABBY: I have been dating a man for three years. When we first met, he bonded very well with my three adult children. They liked him, and he was invited to every occasion. My ex-husband is gay and is now married to his partner. We have remained friends and have even spent some occasions together. My boyfriend thinks this is totally dysfunctional, so I agreed that we would not spend occasions together anymore. About a year ago, he started not wanting to participate in any event with my kids. We argued, and he said some nasty things about them. I was appalled. Had he just pretended to like them? He has had nothing to do with them for months.

My son is getting married next week, and when I told my boyfriend I don’t think it’s right that he come, he flipped out. Why would a man who didn’t want anything to do with my kids expect to be welcomed at their wedding? Am I wrong? -PERPLEXED IN FLORIDA DEAR PERPLEXED: Your children are not wrong. You are not wrong. The man you have been involved with for three years appears to be determined to isolate you from those to whom you are closest, and it is a big red flag! This isn’t a question of right or wrong. It’s a question of whether you want to continue a relationship with him and, if so, at what cost.

Jones said the city will begin landscaping work this week. “We’re going to get out and start cutting grass and trimming shrubs and limbing up some trees,” he said. “I think people will be surprised how much better it will look when it gets done. We’re not going to wholesale cut down trees until we get a feel for what the architects say will look best. We definitely want it to be seen from the highway.” Jones said project architect JMR+H visited the site Tuesday before the closing to confirm working space in the new building. “They wanted to go over the plans where things are going,” he said. “There were some areas we were concerned about as far as space. But they left with a plan to draw it back out and give people the space they needed. “(The) Purchasing (department) currently has 4,500 square feet at public works, in the warehouse, and they ended up with 1,500 square feet in the basement (at the new city hall). The police are actually close to the target. Theirs was not so much changing the size or dimensions of what they’ll have but to make things flow better and make it more convenient for all involved. They’re going to surround the existing elevator shaft on all three floors.” Jones said Monday the architects recently tested some of the building’s systems, including the signature fountain commanding the bottom floor, and found good news. “The building and systems are in better shape than expected,” he said. Mayor Jim Nabors has been a staunch advocate of moving city hall from downtown to the sales office near U.S. Highway 280 not only to gather the city’s far-flung departments under one roof but for more visually averring reasons as well. “There is a lot of truth in the old saying that you should dress for the job you want, not the one you have, and this is also true of the way the city presents itself to the public through its municipal buildings,” Nabors said at last week’s State of the City program. “When the former Russell Sales Office has been transformed into Alexander City’s new municipal complex, it will be the nicest in the Southeast. This building will be crucial in showing the world who we not only want to be but who we expect to be. If we do not show that we believe we are worth investing in as a city, no one else will believe it either.” According to JMR+H, bids will be submitted from June 20 to July 11. The contract with a general contractor should be in place by Aug. 1 and construction on the renovations will begin Aug. 8. JMR+H plans for the project to be complete by March 2020. Nabors said the city will pay 2.71 percent interest on the loan for five years and the interest will be reevaluated every five years for 20 years, which will save the city money. “To do it 10 or 15 years at a time, we would pay a lot more in interest above the 2.71,” Nabors said. “The shorter you fix (the rate), the less expensive they are.”

shift to do.” In addition to the firefighter challenge the family event also had cornhole and basketball tournaments and bouncy houses for children. Fire chief Reese McAlister said this is the first time the department has held a family event. “We spend so much time working on our relationship with the community and we really haven’t spent a lot of time working on our relationship with each other,” McAlister said. “So we wanted to spend some time (together). … I thought it was a great idea and all these people got kids and we’re lucky to have a beautiful Saturday to do it.” Alex City firefighter and paramedic Patrick Waller said he liked the activities for the children and Salter said since the fire department is already like a family, meeting everyone’s family members is meaningful. Alex City Fire Capt. Jeff Brewer said the department had a good turnout for the event. “We got a lot of young families and they have a lot of young kids,” Brewer said. “It’s good to see all the young kids here and maybe a big group of future firefighters.”

bedroom closet. There, Silvey said Russell was in possession of 19 pills containing hydrocodone and testimony said the initial incident report confirmed it. Lab reports showed 18 pills of five different varieties. Law enforcement said the pills were found in jeans belonging to Russell. Russell was represented by Mitch Gavin, who argued there were inconsistences in the State of Alabama’s case and the pills belonged to Russell’s girlfriend, who had a prescription for them. “I had seven teeth pulled the day before,” the girlfriend testified. “They gave me a prescription for 20 pills. I took one.” The girlfriend provided a copy of the prescription for evidence. Under cross examination by Fifth Judicial Circuit district attorney Jeremy Duerr, the girlfriend first testified the pills were oval and white, but pointed out the yellow ones in a photograph the defense admitted as evidence from the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences lab. When officers showed up, the girlfriend said she was awakened by her 12-year-old daughter. “I thought someone was break-

ing in,” the daughter testified. “I shook my mother and told her.” The daughter said she had just gotten out of the shower as she was getting ready for school. Both the mother and daughter testified Russell was not in possession of pants as he walked up the hall. Osborne and Silvey testified Russell had pants in his possession and they contained a baggie of pills Osborne placed on a table when Russell asked to put pants on. At closing, assistant district attorney Kevin Hall argued, “This case is all about possession. How many different pills do you see? I see at least two, maybe three.” Hall went a step further going after the prescription. “If any of you have received a prescription from a pharmacy, do you think it is reasonable to have it in a baggie?” Hall asked the jury. Gavin hinted at lax evidence collection procedure. “This case is about the material that was analyzed,” he told the jury in his closing. “I don’t dispute the (lab) report. I do dispute the evidence forwarded to the lab in this matter.” Duerr had one last chance to

HILLABEE TOWERS

sway the jury before its 50-foot walk to the jury room. “What motive or reason does investigator Silvey and investigator Osborne have coming in front of y’all and making stuff up?” Duerr asked the jury. “If they had done anything illegal, we wouldn’t be here today. You wouldn’t be hearing this case. (The girlfriend has) got motive to lie. (The investigators) don’t.” Gavin asked Martin to appoint Russell new counsel for a possible appeal despite Russell’s request to keep Gavin. “He has asked me to represent him,” Gavin told Martin. “I think it is in his best interest for someone else to look at it and do it.” Martin indicated he was likely to appoint new counsel and would probably do so by the April 23 sentencing. Afterwards Duerr wanted to thank the jury for believing in law enforcement and Hall for his work in the case. “I want to thank the jury for their attention during the trial and for believing in the officers who I would also like to thank for their hard work.” Duerr said. “Kevin (Hall) did a great job in getting this case ready for trial.”

Our View Congrats to CACC nursing program

“Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It’s courage that counts.” — John Wooden

H

ospitals need different professionals in place to keep them running including nurses. Practical nurses (PN) do the basics for patient care in hospitals; they monitor patients’ health and administer basic care such as changing bandages and providing comfort for patients. PNs respond to registered nurses. In the weekend edition of The Outlook, we wrote about Central Alabama Community College being recognized as one of the best practical nursing programs in the state according to PracticalNursing. com. CACC ranked third with a score of 98.31. The nursing program admits students into its RN program first and students can opt to study and go through PN boards, according to CACC health science program administrator Jennifer Steele. Steele said the program has 35 nurses graduating in May and August and 14 of them have already passed the National Council Licensure Examination for nurses on their first attempts, respectively. Nursing is a tough job and nursing programs are often rigorous and challenging. Being ranked in the top three is an honor and shows how well CACC prepares its students. There will always be a need for nurses. Steele said there is a nursing shortage in the U.S. and a PN shortage in Alabama. Having the nursing program helps local hospitals deal with the shortage. “We’ve got (licensed practical nurses) working in almost every long-term care facility and our service area which would cover Talladega, Coosa and Tallapoosa counties,” Steele said. According to the United States Department of Labor, there were 12,190 PNs working in Alabama as of May 2018. There are 701,690 PNs nationwide. “It’s becoming more competitive to get in, which means that we’re able to pull the cream of the crop, which also means we’re putting out there in the community the best nurses,” Steele said. “I think that is a huge asset to the community.” We congratulate CACC and hope the program continues to grow.

Daily Poll Tuesday’s question: Have you spent time out on the lake yet this spring?

Legislature turns attention to lottery, budgets

A

fter its successful special session, the Alabama Legislature has been in its regular session for a few weeks now and it will end in June. Almost one-third of the members are freshmen and although they are for the most part a bright and talented group they are still wet behind the ears when it comes to legislative ways. Most are still striving to find their way to the bathrooms. Most major issues, especially revenue enhancement measures, are addressed in the first year of a quadrennium. Bless their hearts, right off the bat they were hit with a major vote to increase the gas tax to support an infrastructure plan. That will make the rest of their first year a downhill slide. There are indeed other issues that need addressing in the good old Heart of Dixie. Most Alabamians want the right to vote for a lottery, which they would vote for in a New York minute. Most folks think it is ludicrous that we simply give our money to our sister states. It is not a popular subject but our prison overcrowding problem has to be addressed. Democratic members are vitally interested in expanding Medicaid to improve and meet the state healthcare needs. Rural hospitals need help. There is also a lot of interest in reforming our criminal justice system. Although these abovementioned problems and priorities need to be addressed, there is one constitutional certainty that the two state budgets must be crafted and put to bed. Our state constitution also mandates they must be balanced.

STEVE FLOWERS Columnistt The Education Trust Fund budget is in good shape. Tax revenues that support education grew tremendously last year and lawmakers will have more money to appropriate for schools. In fact, this will more than likely be the largest education budget in state history. The education coffers will also be enhanced by the Supreme Court ruling that allows the state to collect online sales taxes. In Alabama, state and local sales taxes are the cornerstone of support for basic services. The state’s growth taxes, income and sales, are earmarked for education. The lack of growth in the dollars that support the General Fund has caused headaches for the legislative leaders who write these budgets. However, these budget leaders have done a good job. In the current General Fund budget, they were able increase funding for state prisons and added extra dollars for mental health, law enforcement and the state court system. In addition, state employees got their first cost-of-living raise in decades. The $2.04 billion General Fund budget passed easily in the 2018 election year session. It was a different scenario in 2015 and 2016, when lawmakers took multiple special sessions to pass the budgets and reject an array of tax increases and lottery bills to close a large funding gap. A bill passed in 2016 during a special session created a salvation for the

General Fund — a plan to allocate most of the $1 billion BP oil spill settlement monies. It allowed legislators to carry over $93 million from the 2018 budget to this year. In actuality, the state legislative leadership has very little discretion in budgeting. The vast majority of our state dollars directed to our state General Fund needs are earmarked. The General Fund budget accounts for only 13 percent of Alabama’s total spending of $15.6 billion. For example, our state’s gasoline tax is earmarked for roads and bridges and goes into the Road and Bridge Fund, which currently totals $492 million in this year’s budget. Of course that will be increased beginning in September. Most folks are not cognizant of the fact most legislators do not have a lot of input into the state budgets. The chairmen of the budget committees of each body, Ways and Means in the House and Finance and Taxation in the Senate, do the work and hold the power. The chairmen of these prestigious and powerful committees are Rep. Bill Poole (R-Tuscaloosa), who chairs the House Education Budget Committee, and Rep. Steve Clouse (R-Ozark), who heads the General Fund. Sen. Greg Albritton (R-Escambia) chairs the Senate General Fund Committee and veteran Sen. Arthur Orr (R-Decatur) heads the Education Finance Committee. As legislators grapple with all the issues on their plate, one thing remains the same — the state budgets are priority No. 1.

The Outlook

Let’s remember the brave during Heritage month

A

pril is Confederate Heritage month, so please don’t forget the loyal Southern men and women who worked for the Southern cause. It was indeed a sad time that divided families but all were very brave and should be remembered. My Ron told me often over our 40-plus years of marriage that if governments were out of the equation we ordinary people would get along just fine among ourselves. After all, the everyday folks don’t get so upset that they start wars or need to retaliate for bad, aggressive or terroristic actions. I always think about Henry Taylor “Pete� Richards during the month of heritage remembrance; his father William built our house when Nixburg was first settled. Pete signed up to fight for the South, was wounded at Port Gibson,

Mississippi, was moved to Vicksburg by Union soldiers, then was moved to North Carolina. From there, he walked back home to Nixburg. Pete, one of 10 children, then bought out his siblings on the house, married his love, Margaret “Jane� Thornell, who was born just down the road in an unpainted small farm home, and they raised their own family here. I can’t tell you how thrilling it was to have relatives stop here looking for the old home place one day and they were thoughtful enough to share photographs of Pete, Jane and the family. We have a large frame in the front hallway showing the Richards family portraits we are so proud to own. The Chit-Chatters lunching ladies group met last Thursday at the invitation of Sharon Coffman, one of our

ROSIE MORGAN Columnist newest members who graciously volunteered to host us at her newly remodeled and lovely home between Nixburg and Equality. We all enjoyed the tour. The Coffmans had removed walls and saved some original multi-colored tongueand-groove strips to use on the front inside walls in rooms located on both sides of the hallway. It was wonderfully decorated with a tasteful mix of old and new, including tile on the floor and polished granite counters. Everyone took a dish or two and all enjoyed delicious and plentiful food. Those at the luncheon included Janice

Moses, Yvonne Myers, Jackie Dean, Jean Sims, Rachael Fuller, Lynda Moseley, Jean Moe-Prince and Carole Kenney. April 3 is the 22nd birthday of our first grandchild, Laurel Morgan. We last saw Laurel here in Nixburg while my sister Donna and her two children were visiting us in 2011. April 7 is Janice Jordan’s birthday and April 9 is the birthday of Lora “Ann� McGrady in Sylacauga. Ann is the cousin of Ron’s Aunt Bobbie Moore, who married Ron’s mother’s twin brother. Ann was obviously a beauty and still likes to look pretty. Wayne and Neta Stephens celebrate 53 years of wedded bliss on April 9; they live in the big Victorian home just south of the Coosa County line. Mark April 13 for the Coosa County Bicentennial Street Fair in Rockford. The special

music feature will be country music artist Ashton Shepherd along with Wild Country. The Angelic Choir will also perform throughout the day. An Easter egg hunt starts the day off at 10 a.m. with the opening ceremony led by Rockford Mayor Randall Lewis at 11 a.m. On the first Saturday in April, don’t forget to shop the sales on Highway 9, and stop for cake or lunch at the old Masonic Lodge/former Firehouse in Equality. David Dial will be grilling hamburgers and hot dogs; lunch is $7 with dessert and a drink and benefits the volunteer fire department. Until next week, keep smiling. Rosie Morgan is a community columnist for The Outlook who writes about the Equality and Nixburg areas.

‘Stupid is as stupid does’ applies to litterbugs T

here is an area just a couple of miles up the road from us that is littered with blue totes, trash and tires. Someone very trashy had turned it into a dump. I don’t get that. As the famous and fictitious Alabamian Forrest Gump said, “Stupid is as stupid does,� which is quite fitting for those who litter. I’ll go one step further and say, “Trash is a trash does.� Someone dumped a mattress at the corner of Main Street and VFW Parkway in Jacksons Gap. Who does that? Trash, that’s who. Wherever we go, whether it’s city highways or country roads, there is trash strewn mile after mile. No amount of “No dumping of rubbish� signs will stop these litterbugs from being trashy because I’m not sure they know the definition of the word “rubbish.� I’d just love for the authorities to

catch these folks and make examples of them. I figure a full day or two of picking up trash would change their mindset. Now that the weather is nice, I like to stroll Abigail up and down our country road a couple of times a day. For a few days, I passed by a stream of litter. There were beer cans, soda cans, chip bags, a jar of peanut butter; who throws a jar of peanut butter out of their moving vehicle? That just doesn’t make any sense but, then again, neither does littering. One day, as I got ready for our stroll, I noticed a plastic grocery bag on the edge of our yard. That was surely a sign that I was to use it to pick up as much trash as possible, so I did. It didn’t take long to fill. After that, I started putting things in the compartment underneath the stroller. It

JODY FULLER Columnistt filled up quickly as well. Some people have trash fly up out of the back of their truck. I understand that but if you care, it’s an incredibly simple problem to solve — don’t put trash in the back of your truck. Some people litter because they do not care. How sad is that? Were they raised that way? Perhaps. Let me be honest. Let he who has not littered cast the first beer can. Regrettably, there was a time in my teens when I did litter. Yes, I was a litterbug. I should have been beaten with a rubber hose; by the way, I picked up one of those too.

I stopped littering prior to joining the Army but once in uniform a daily police call solidified my anti-litter stance. Other than the occasional dirty diaper, there was nothing worse than picking up cigarette butts. I know people who claim not to litter yet they’ll toss a butt out of their car without a second thought. Not only are they not biodegradable, they will also cause forest fires. Fire bad. Be cool. Don’t be a litterbug, fool. My stepdad took the initiative to police that area up the road with the totes, trash and tires and moved it all to the side of the road. We are way out in the country, so we weren’t expecting anyone to pick it up but he had a chance encounter with a Tallapoosa County employee at the store and took the opportunity to tell him about it. A couple of days later, it was gone, so we

thank him for that. There is currently a challenge on social media that is inspiring to us anti-litter types. Most of the social media challenges are stupid and sometimes dangerous but this one is called the #TrashTag Challenge. It started trending a couple of weeks ago with people posting before and after photos of the areas they cleaned up. Check it out. The results have been remarkable and contagious. Now that’s a bug we all should catch. Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq. He is also a lifetime stutterer.

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might try to harness your wandering imagination. You even might try to change settings or projects. Let go; relax. Some of your wilder ideas could hold value. Test them out on an equally creative person. Tonight: Continue sharing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Remain sure of your ideas and the support that you have behind you. If all indicators are correct, you have a sure-bet winner. One person might dampen your spirit with some criticism. Listen; strengthen your plan as a result. Tonight: Respond positively to a loved one or dear friend. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Zero in on what you want, but don’t lose sight of responsibilities. You beneĂ„t because of the manner in which you deal with change, i.e., not losing sight of your commitments. Your ability to adjust always comes through. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You see what others don’t. You can take an opportunity and run with it while others are debating the pros and cons of the situation. Relax with the moment; you’ll clearly come into a new type of success or happiness. Tonight: Where you can be entertained. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A partner and others believe that they have the answers. Listen attentively; should you see a problem, question it. Remain supportive of others, and they’ll become more open with you. Express your feelings loud and clear. Tonight: The only reply is “yes.â€? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Deal with a diɈerent issue than the usual one that you have with a loved one. This issue can irk you but is cleared out easily. Your vision of a child or loved one could change because of this conversation. A family member

supports your pursuit. Tonight: Stay centered. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You carry a grievance but not trying to clear it out. You feel that the timing could be oɈ and want to approach the issue at a better time. Be aware that there may not be a better time than now. Tonight: OɈ to meet a favorite friend. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) When funneled properly, your imagination will allow you to gain. Look at a certain project with new eyes. You might Ă„nd it easier to handle and complete than you have before. Listen to feedback. Tonight: Make time for a special person in your life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Allow your creativity to Ă…ourish. Your focus might be trained on your personal or domestic situation. Don’t allow a tight Ă„nancial budget to trip you up. You might Ă„nd an alternate procedure that could work better. Tonight: At home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Share your thoughts more carefully. You’ll Ă„nd that a loved one will open up after a direct question. You might actually hear too much and be uncomfortable with what you need to handle. Ask pertinent questions. Tonight: Get feedback from someone who is intuitive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Evaluate what’s happening Ă„nancially. You might feel restrained, but you are restraining yourself. Only you can decide to be free. Friends and associates tend to support you moving in a new direction. Tonight: Where your friends are. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Think through a problem. If you do, you’re likely to succeed beyond your expectations. You could see a personal matter diɈerently as well. Get advice from a respected advisor or friend. Tonight: Midweek break.

Annexation Blasingame added there were no other additional costs to the town as it already provides water in the area. He added Rep. Ed Oliver had already provided a resolution to him with blanks to fill in so it would work in the legislature. The areas being considered for annexation include a little of Highway 49, Crowe Road, Cowpens Road to Sanford Road, the remaining portions of Cowpens West not currently in the town limits, Goldville Cutoff, Lashley Road, Whaley Road and Veazy Road. The council voted to give Tallapoosa County $20,000 to assist in paving Church Street and Boyd Loop. Tallapoosa County commissioner John McKelvey was at the meeting and said the commission hoped the town could help fund part of the project. The decision was unanimous though

continued from Page 1 councilmember Mickey Carter abstained, stating he owned property along on the roads. Councilmember Toby Hanson was absent from the meeting. In other action the council: • Approved amending the town’s personnel policy to show the town offers health insurance to its employees and will pay $250 a month toward premiums. The policy also requires if employees choose not to go with the town’s insurance they provide proof they are covered by other policies. The insurance will also allow councilmembers to enroll but without a stipend from the town during normal enrollment periods. • Approved the purchase of LED lights for town hall at a cost of $2,320. • Is looking at allowing the Horseshoe Bend Youth Football League to use space in the gym to store

PITCHER’S DUEL BRHS suffers narrow area loss to Russell County By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Lizi Arbogast / The Outlook

Top: Russell County’s Trysten Dozier, left, attempts to slide into home plate safely after a tag from Benjamin Russell’s Wilson Hays on Tuesday. Above: BRHS coach Richy Brooks talks to his infielders, from left, Brett Pitts, Zack Nail and Brooks Vardaman during a pitching change.

There’s no doubt about it: Both Benjamin Russell and Russell County came to play baseball Tuesday night. In a key Class 6A Area 6 matchup between two of the top 15 schools in the state, neither one was going down without a fight. They both got solid pitching from their starters and relievers, and they both played virtually flawless defense. But there was one major discrepancy that allowed the Warriors to escape the Wildcats with a 3-1 victory. “They got a big hit and we didn’t; that was the ballgame,”

Tinsley’s 2-run single lifts Tigers to comeback win By KAMARRI DARRINGTON For The Outlook

Dadeville’s Timirian Tinsley doesn’t feel any pain anymore. Tinsley separated her shoulder in the first game of the season. In her second game back, Tinsley came up big. Tinsley hit a two-run single — her fourth hit of the game — which capped off a 12-11 comeback win for Dadeville over Elmore County on Tuesday. The Tigers (7-12) wore gray uniforms with green lettering and ribbon to honor the death of Beau

MARCH MADNESS LEADERBOARD BEAT THE EXPERTS

Benjamin Russell coach Richy Brooks said simply. Trailing 1-0 for the majority of the game, Russell County (25-3) came back with guns blazing in the top of the sixth inning. Zac Rice led off with a single and was moved to second on an unsuccessful fielder’s choice by Zack Henderson. With two outs, Trysten Dozier then took full advantage, smoking a double to left center field and driving in the only two runs Russell County ultimately needed. “We just made a couple of mistakes,” Brooks said. “We let (Rice) get an 0-2 hit at good speed then (Henderson)

efore I get into this week’s column, let me say congrats to the Auburn basketball team. Making it to the Final Four is a dream come true and huge accomplishment. As a ’Bama fan, I am truly jealous. Now onto the column. Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne is a master of misdirection apparently. While most of the basketball world thought the Tide would hire an established but flawed coach like Rick Pitino, Kalvin Sampson or Thad Matta, Byrne was clandestinely solidifying a deal with a much younger and promising prospect in Buffalo’s Nate Oats. Oats doesn’t have any Southern roots, much less University of Alabama ties. Therefore, it was a bit of a shock Byrne seemingly focused his efforts on Oats so early. However, the hire has been universally lauded by college basketball pundits even if some half-hearted hoops fans in this state wondered aloud who this “Nate Oats guy” was. I am going to approach this new basketball era with cautious optimism myself. While Oats’ resume at Buffalo was stellar — he had the Bulls in the top 25 almost all year and was poised to have the program as a staple in the NCAA Tournament — I cannot help but wonder if Coleman Coliseum is a bit cursed. Five straight seasons of basketball malaise will leave a fan jaded, no doubt. My hope is Oats hits the ground running in terms of recruiting (he has already retrieved John Petty from the infamous ‘transfer portal’), fan interaction and scheduling. There are some fantastic players from the state of Alabama who end up playing beyond our borders every year. Keeping the home-grown talent at home is going to be key to Oats’ success. Alabama’s landing five-star Mountain Brook forward Trendon Watford would be an amazing start, but there is definitely some work to do there. Meanwhile, convincing the Alabama fanbase to trust the program again will also be

Benjamin Russell’s boys golf team traveled to Moore’s Mill Golf on Monday and placed second in the Auburn Invitational out of 10 teams. The Wildcats were second to only the host Tigers. Matthew Cush led BRHS by carding a 76, while Jacob Scott turned in a 78. Sawyer Parks and Kyle Mattox also had strong scores, turning in an 80 and 81, respectively. Harrison Kelly also competed for the Wildcats.

SOFTBALL Mitchell throws 2-hit victory vs. Woodland

Danielle Mitchell was on her A-game for Horseshoe Bend’s softball team Monday, giving up just two hits in a complete-game shutout over Woodland. The Generals won, 7-0. Mitchell struck out 10 and walked none; she also helped her own cause offensively, leading HBS with three hits. The Generals totaled eight hits, including two singles by Ivy Vickers and a solo home run from Alyssa Whiteard. Reagan Taylor and Leighann McWhorter also contributed singles in the victory.

Tigers dominate in win over B.B. Comer

With seven runs in the bottom of the third, Dadeville’s softball team finished off B.B. Comer in area play Monday night, 15-0. The Tigers racked up 11 hits, including two each by Cali Jones, Zoe Veres and Jailee Kirkland. Tiffany Rice, Jones and Abby Shephard each scored a trio of runs. Timirian Tinsley threw the three-inning victory, scattering three hits and striking out two. She didn’t walk any.

Central Coosa dominated by ECHS

Central Coosa’s softball team was no match for Elmore County on Monday evening, as the Cougars managed only one hit in three innings and lost, 21-0. Alexis Dennis was the only Cougar with a hit during Monday’s loss. Although Kera Dunham allowed ECHS to rack up 15 hits in the circle, she limited the Panthers to just eight earned runs as the Cougars were plagued with seven errors. Dunham struck out a pair.

crucial. Mark Gottfried’s slow descent into mediocrity, Anthony Grant’s lackluster personality and Avery Johnson’s unfulfilled promises all coupled with Coleman Coliseum’s dated structure and overall “meh” vibe have left the Tide faithful leery of re-investing in the program. Above all, Alabama fans just want to see maximum effort demanded from the coach in a way that forces players to give the same. Not since Wimp Sanderson has Alabama had a head man who held players accountable, and Oats will need to show that type of authority. In that regard, Tide fans should thank Auburn for hiring Bruce Pearl. Like him or not, he energized that program. Now that his energy is generating results, Alabama will put more focus into its own program to catch up. Regardless of history, Auburn is where Alabama wants to be as a basketball program right now. Finally, Alabama needs to continue to schedule well. Like an Atkins diet, go light on the cupcakes but heavy on the proteins (i.e., college basketball heavyweights). Even with the Tide’s “meh” overall record the last several years, the program has been squarely on the NCAA bubble because of a difficult slate. Call North Carolina. Call Oklahoma. Call Michigan State. Call Syracuse. Call, gulp, Duke. Get creative and offer to meet at a neutral site. Whatever it takes, make the schedule daunting and fun. Yes, ’Bama will suffer losses going that route, but the only thing that matters in college hoops is making the NCAA Dance. Conference titles and tournament championships are great, but college coaches are judged by how many NCAA Tournament appearances they make. The selection committee loves a tough schedule so that must be a priority. The bottom line is I am choosing to believe Nate Oats is a strong hire. After articles swooning over the last two ’Bama coaches, I am a bit gun-shy to guarantee anything, but Oats has been impressive as a head coach to date and I am already excited for next season.

A Hawaiian woman who embarked on a project to find deceased Vietnam veterans in her state is asking for help from Tallapoosa County residents to honor their own heroes. Janna Hoehn of Maui, Hawaii, is conducting a nationwide search for photos of fallen Vietnam veterans. She asks anyone from Tallapoosa County who has a photo of a deceased Vietnam veteran to submit it to the Wall of Faces online memorial on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund website. Those photos will also accompany the moving wall that travels all over the U.S. “If anyone is related, a friend or a classmate to any of the young men on the list, I would very much appreciate hearing from you,” Hoehn said. “Putting a face with a name changes the whole dynamic of the wall. It keeps our fallen heroes’ memories alive and will honor them. Our heroes’ stories and sacrifice will never be forgotten.” There are 58,315 fallen heroes whose names are etched on the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C., and more than 53,000 photos have been collected. Hoehn is also asking for volunteers to assist in the effort. “I am looking for an individual that would like to volunteer to be my boots on the ground in your community if we do not find all the photos,” she said. “It may mean a trip to the library to search for obituaries or to a

high school to look through yearbooks.” When Hoehn and her husband made their first trip to Washington eight years ago their first stop was the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. “Because Vietnam was the war that was going on while I was in high school the first memorial on my list was the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall,” Hoehn said. “Even though I never knew anyone killed in Vietnam, I wanted a rubbing of one of the names. I approached the wall and choose a name ... Gregory John Crossman, an MIA. When I returned home I decided to research Gregory and try to find his family. In the event they were never able to go to the wall, I would send them the etching, hoping they would share a photo with me of Gregory.” Hoehn continued her search over the next six months but got nowhere and became discouraged. However, she turned to a family member who was familiar with the past and just how it was chronicled. Six weeks later, she found a college photo of Crossman. Hoehn decided to get involved with a national organization that aims to put a face with each fallen Vietnam veteran. “Two years later I saw a story on our local news about the ‘Faces Never Forgotten’ for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund,” she said. “The goal was to put a face with every name that is etched on the wall. I immediately sent in the photo I had of Gregory Crossman. Five days later, I received an email

just hit the ball in the right place. He hit a fastball and we probably should’ve been throwing a breaking ball to him. They scored two runs on it.” Cade Brooks, who threw a stunning five innings to begin the game, ultimately took the loss. He allowed just one hit, which was a leadoff single in the top of the first, before going all but perfect sans two walks for the next four frames. “That was absolutely a great ballgame by him,” Russell County coach Tony Rasmus said. “He made one bad pitch and it cost him, but it wasn’t anything that we did. We got one guy that got lucky at the right time, but he did a great job of keeping us in check all game.” Russell County’s bats got going even more in the top of the seventh, and the Warriors added more than enough insurance with an RBI single from Rice to take a 3-1 lead into the home half of the final frame. Huell Lumpkin helped the Wildcats (18-9) go down swinging, as he attempted to keep them alive by lacing a double to left field to lead off the inning. But RCHS reliever Logan Austin fanned three in a row to end the game. Benjamin Russell finished with just four hits, including doubles by Brock Elliott, Brooks Vardaman and Lumpkin and a single from Brooks. “We pitched well and we played good defense, but we didn’t hit the ball very well,” coach Brooks said. “But that’s the par for our season. We just didn’t

from Jan Scruggs, the founder and president of the wall. He thanked me for sending the photo; it was the first for this hero and he asked me if I could help him find the photos for the 42 Maui County fallen that were killed in Vietnam. I replied, ‘It would be an honor.’ I have always hoped I could to do something for the Vietnam veterans as the way they were treated when they returned was disgraceful. Here was my chance.” She discovered locating more photos was harder than she thought. “What I thought would be a very easy project with Maui being so small was anything but easy,” Hoehn said. “I started by combing the phone books calling every like name of each soldier. I found about 10 of them this way; then off to archived yearbooks for every high school on Maui, I found a few more; then to the library to look for obituaries and I found three more; then I went to the Maui News.” Once Hoehn located all the Maui County photos she decided to continue her mission and began searching for photos of fallen Vietnam veterans in her hometown in California. Since then she has been involved in several Vietnam veteran photo searches, including the search for Native American soldiers, and eventually began searching for every fallen soldier in her home state. Those with photos or information should contact Hoehn at neverforgotten2014@gmail. com. For more information about the Wall of Faces please visit www.vvmf.org/thewall.

Generals couldn’t quite string together enough of them and they fell, 8-6. Trailing 2-1 after two innings, Horseshoe Bend looked to seize control by scoring five runs in the top of the third. Chandler Lewis led off the frame with a hard-hit double to right field, and he was pushed to third on a Cole Johnson single. Grant Taylor took advantage by smacking an RBI single to knot the scoreboard at 2-2. Lee Norrell added a sacrifice fly to take the lead, and Holt Tidwell kept things going with a single to score pinch runner Trent Cotney. Justin Phillips then singled before Colby Cheaney was credited with an RBI on a groundout, and Phillips scored on a passed ball to put the Generals ahead 6-2 before the inning’s end. But Woodland quickly responded, scoring three runs in each of the next two innings and keeping HBS off the scoreboard for the rest of the way. Taylor led the offense with a trio of hits and two RBIs, while Phillips and Lewis each had two hits. Johnson suffered the loss on the mound, but he and Taylor each had four strikeouts.

We didn’t knock people in when we had opportunities.” The Wildcats still have a chance to make the playoffs and they’re still in control of their own destiny as they head to Russell County for a doubleheader Thursday afternoon. All the Warriors need is one win to secure their spot, but

Tinsley and set off the celebration. Just be careful with the shoulder. “I didn’t play well in my first game back,” Tinsley said. “It was really hard rehabbing because I couldn’t get wait to get back out there. I was just happy to come out here and win that last at-bat. Seeing my teammates come out towards me means the world.” Dadeville coach Jordan McGuire couldn’t help but fight off a few tears after watching her squad complete the comeback after giving up two runs in the top half of the last frame. “I knew that we had the bats,” McGuire said. “Those weren’t errors (Elmore County) made. We made great hits and Timirian came through in a big way. It’s great to get that win for Beau. I think he helped us a lot.” Brittany Claybrook, who went 3-for-4, hit an RBI double to tie the game at 9-9 in the fifth. Makya Johnson pitched a complete game for Dadeville. Elmore County (9-7) held leads of 8-2, 9-5 and 11-9 before falling.

the Wildcats own the tiebreaker over Opelika if No. 1-ranked RCHS manages a clean sweep. “It’s going to be there Thursday whether we’re ready or not,” Brooks said. “We gotta go down there and we have to win, so we’ll just go to work and see what we do.”

continued from Page 10 Ebone Pearson, who also had a two-run homer earlier in the game, knocked in the go-ahead runs on a two-run double with two out in the seventh. Madison Britt went 2-for-4 with two doubles and three RBIs. Pearson reached base five times and drove in four runs. Maci Curlee pitched 6 2/3 innings for Elmore County. Of the eight total errors in the game, the Panthers committed five. “We’ve been swinging the bats very well lately,” Panthers coach Kim Moncrief said. “Hopefully, we learned to finish the game and never give up on an inning. We made a lot of defensive errors and we have to clean that up. I’m proud of how we fought, but we’ve got to finish.” During a tournament in Wetumpka last month, Elmore County earned a run-rule victory over Dadeville. Tuesday, the teams combined to score 23 runs off 23 hits with eight errors. Elmore County hosts Horseshoe Bend while Dadeville travels to Randolph County on Thursday.

Roberta Russell to be featured in upcoming cemetery tour STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

When the ACT II and Russell Medical Foundation inaugural Living History Cemetery Tour opens April 13 for its one-day-only performance at Alexander City Cemetery, Roberta McDonald Russell will step out of the mausoleum to tell patrons the role she played in the town’s rise to prosperity in the early 20th century. Russell died in 1953, but Alexander City’s Lynn Grimsley will play the town’s matriarch in the production, which will feature 10 characters from Alexander City’s history, from its founding as Youngsville in the 1830s to modern day. Russell met the future mill industry mogul Benjamin Russell at an Atlanta train station, and the couple married in 1899. Without her help, the Russell brand might never have been established, as she financed the purchase of the first knitting machines with her own family money. Dressed as Russell did in a 1940s photograph, Grimsley will present a monologue about Russell’s life in Alexander City and the founding of the mill. She also will offer a glimpse into the personal life of Benjamin Russell, his accomplishments and legacy. The event also features an art show at The Mill Two Eighty with more than 30 artists displaying and selling their works, from pottery to jewelry, paintings, photographs, folk art and more. The art show will open at 8 a.m. and is open to the public free of charge. Artists from across Alabama will take part in the show.
