All thoughts on repealing Common Core in Alabama have slowed down, according to state Rep. Ed Oliver (R-Dadeville). The Alabama Senate recently passed a bill to repeal Common Core but Oliver said the House of Representatives is revising the bill. It will be weeks before deciding on the changes since there wasn’t much debate on it beforehand. “I think right now it’s so new and there’s so much discovery going on, we’re all learning about something that typically would belong in the state Department of Education,” Oliver said. “So we’re having to learn (it) and I think it was a good idea to slow it down so we can all get brushed up on the issues that we need to understand very, very well. And you don’t want to do anything that you have to live with for an extended period of time that’s not right, so if we change this we’re going to do it right.” Oliver said he is following the lead of Education Policy chair Rep. Terri Collins (R-Decatur) on the bill. Oliver said Redstone Arsenal, the Business Council of Alabama and the United States Army all oppose repealing Common Core and have approached the House of Representatives about leaving it alone. Oliver said the House wants Alabama students to compete nationally so they need a set of testing standards for that purpose. See OLIVER • Page 3

Latest disagreement may end rocky 5-year relationship DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of nearly five years and I have been at odds during most of our relationship. We have had religious-based disagreements, arguments over my not giving him enough affection, his not providing financially, possible cheating on his part, and his wanting me to have a better relationship with his mother. For about a year he has been pressuring me to stop taking birth control pills. I was always adamant about taking them because I do not want to be pregnant before marriage. He claims I am “playing God,” and “I don’t know the potential harm the pills cause.” I don’t think the pills are harming me, and I feel I can do with my body what I please. When he told me to stop taking birth control, I asked, “When are you going to propose?” He says he’ll marry me once I trust him enough to stop taking the pills and believe he’ll step up to the plate. I trust that he wants to be with me, but I can’t help but feel he wants me to go

DEAR ABBY Advice against my morals and values and get pregnant before marriage. I see a life for myself, and he doesn’t seem to fit in my vision. I know no one is perfect, but I can’t help but feel we clash on too many issues. Should I be more positive and look at the good things in our relationship and try to ignore the negative? -- YOUNG PENNSYLVANIA WOMAN DEAR WOMAN: If you see a life for yourself beyond this relationship, make up your mind to start living it NOW. Your boyfriend wants you to stop taking birth control pills because once you’re pregnant (oops!) you will be tied to him for life, like it or not. Step back. View this for a moment from my perspective: Here is someone with whom you have religious-based dis-

agreements, who doesn’t pull his weight financially, whom you can’t trust not to cheat, and who will bring with him a guaranteed mother-in-law problem. It’s time to do what you should have done years ago. Recognize that you can do much better than this and GET OUT OF THERE. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I live in Washington state. My son and his family live in South Carolina. I have decided I want to move close to my son and grandchildren. My husband doesn’t want to move there. He has never been to South Carolina, but he has preconceived notions about what the people are like and has decided he wants to stay on the West Coast. I know what would make me happier, but I’d feel guilty about leaving my husband. We have been married 27 years. (He is my second husband; my first died when we were 36.) My son is from my first marriage. I need some objective advice. Am I being selfish? Is it wrong for me to want to

move to be with my family? -- GUILTY ON THE WEST COAST DEAR GUILTY: You ARE with your family -- your husband. Have you explored how your son and his wife would feel about you pulling up stakes and moving there alone? If you haven’t, you should, because they may not be comfortable feeling responsible for you and being your only social outlet. Since you asked, I think it would be foolish to sacrifice a marriage (I assume a happy one) that has lasted more than a quarter of a century. It’s possible that you could visit your son and grandchildren several times a year without jettisoning your spouse, and because planes fly both ways, they could visit the two of you as well.

Creation Plantation gets fresh paint By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

V

olunteers took time away from family on a Saturday with great weather to freshen up Creation Plantation with fresh paint at Keebler Park in Dadeville. “I’ve got grandkids and have been coming by here,” volunteer April Holdridge said. “I noticed something needed to be done.” Creation Plantation has been around for nearly two decades and thousands of children have played in its spires and on its bridges and swings. Volunteers have been trying to make people aware of Creation Plantation and Keebler Park that surrounds it. “Many people are not aware of the park behind the playground,” volunteer Dianna Porter said. “We have been doing a few things, moving some things around to let people see there is a park back there.” Porter has spearheaded efforts to make Keebler Park more visible to Dadeville residents and beyond. Another group has been volunteering around town and helped put Holdridge in touch with Porter

to spiffy up Creation Plantation. “I got hold of the beautification board,” Holdridge said. “They put me into contact with Dianna.” From there, the ladies got supplies donated and sought some help. On Saturday, Holdridge and Porter were joined by other volunteers applying paint to posts, railings and benches making things such as the tic-tac-toe board and pathways through the playground more visible and inviting. And they are not through. “We will likely be out here the next few weekends,” Porter said. “There is a lot to be done.” Porter hopes someone can help with a special part of the project. “We have an extension ladder but we haven’t found a volunteer to climb it yet to paint the stuff up high,” Porter said with a giggle. “I would but I don’t get along with ladders, especially as I get older.” Holdridge said she is not giving up on the project after one weekend and will be back as needed to finish and see the playground is kept fresh. “I just have to do anything for the kids,” she said.

Oliver “If Alabama doesn’t have a way to compare our kids to other kids then that leaves us to a disadvantage,” Oliver said. “Also, the main reason the Army didn’t like it was because you have kids moving in and moving out frequently and it makes it difficult for them to change school systems.” Oliver said he is not involved in education policy but reached out to as many educators as he could to try his best to understand Common Core and the bill. “I spent a bunch of time last week

continued from Page 1 trying to learn about Common Core and things that I didn’t know and never considered,” Oliver said. “I’m very educational but I agree with Rep. Collins that this is something we need to be very careful about how we do it, how we approach it.” Oliver said while he doesn’t like parts of Common Core, there are provisions of the bill he disagrees with “that had to do with testing and national test scores and the ability for students from Alabama to transfer to schools that are out of state

or are for out-of-state kids to come to Alabama schools. “I’m like everybody else, there are some parts (of Common Core) I absolutely hate and there are some parts I think are absolutely necessary,” Oliver said. “We’re trying to get to the bottom of what is good for most people in the state.” Oliver said he is against Common Core’s methodology of teaching math and there are some missing books on the standard literary list. “The list goes on and on but understand

nothing’s perfect,” Oliver said. “We’re just trying to clean this up and make it to where it’s more suitable for Alabamians without hurting ourselves. That’s the reason we’re slowing it down is to make sure that we do no harm first.” Oliver emphasized he is one vote in the House and is not involved in the debate. “The main thing to remember is that this is very fluid, that we are going to take a week or two to study this and we’re going to follow Rep. Collins’ lead,” Oliver said.

Our View

State prisons are a shameful blot

A

ll Alabamians should be embarrassed by the U.S. Department of Justice report released Wednesday about the deplorable and even inhumane conditions of our state prisons. The feds say our men’s prison system treats inmates unconstitutionally and is threatening a lawsuit within 49 days if the state doesn’t show tangible efforts to change the system. Alabama remains a deeply conservative law-and-order state and many will say those behind bars forfeited any right to decent treatment when the cell door closed behind them. Most of those serving time deserve to serve time but they don’t deserve rampant rapes, stabbings, beatings, extortion and unsanitary conditions. Those reports should concern us all and it certainly reflects on us as a state. Think for a moment if you had a friend or relative in a state prison. Would you want them stabbed to death while screaming for help that came too late and while other inmates stood watch to make sure the few guards on duty didn’t see anything? Would you want them beaten by socks filled with metal locks? Or having their bed set on fire while asleep? Or living with raw sewage? Eating food from a kitchen with rats and maggots? Prisons are for punishment and should also be a path to rehabilitation and restoring as much dignity as possible. But turning inmates into productive, law-abiding citizens won’t occur in Alabama prisons unless there are some huge changes. Gov. Kay Ivey has proposed such changes, including building three new prisons and hiring 500 more correctional officers. We hope the legislature provides the resources and we agree with U.S. Attorney Richard Moore’s conclusion. “The United States Constitution bans ‘cruel and unusual punishments’ but the conditions found in our investigation of Alabama prisons provide reasonable cause to believe there is a flagrant disregard of that injunction,” Moore said. “We are better than this. We do not need to tarry very long assessing blame but rather commit to righting this wrong and spare our state further embarrassment.”

Abortion steals so much from so many

A

battle over abortion is raging around us and more and more states are taking their stand. Some states, such as New York and Virginia, seem intent on abolishing any limitations to the practice. Others — red states such as Kentucky, Mississippi and now Alabama — appear resolved to end legalized abortion within their borders. In the midst of this reality, it’s important to consider a simple question. What is abortion? On the surface, abortion is a medical procedure in which a mother, in consultation with her doctor, makes a very private and difficult decision. The result of the procedure? A human child is killed. For many of us, I think our perspective of abortion stops at the baby’s death. While we rightly lament the lives of lost children, I wonder if we earnestly understand the full scope of what happens, if we really get it. Do we consider why early death is so despairing? Do we truly grasp when a young person dies, a lifetime’s worth of joys and sorrows are stolen from them? What is abortion? Abortion is not simply a medical procedure; it has a much larger and far less palatable agenda. Abortion sees the life of an infant, the memories he or she is bound to make if privileged with birth and tells that baby, “No.” Abortion steals the moment in which he or she finally meets his or her caretaker, the moment he or she takes hold of another human’s hand.

Would a Biden-Abrams ticket be an effective one?

R

umors swirl around the country about a possible Joe BidenStacey Abrams ticket. We haven’t seen this level of excitement in a VP candidate from Georgia since several Democrats (Bill Clinton, Michael Dukakis and even Barack Obama) considered Sam Nunn for a place on the ballot. But would it work? Rather than rely on simple speculation, I put the question to my students. When he interviewed me on WDEL radio, host Allan R. Loudell asked me if such a move was wise for Biden, because it deprived him a chance to unify the party by adding a bitter rival to the second-place position, in an attempt to heal a divisive primary. Wouldn’t Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders or Beto O’Rourke make more sense for the Democrats in 2020? Back in 2016, when Ted Cruz added Carly Fiorina to his ticket in the 2016 primary, my students collected data on “unity tickets.” That’s when former primary rivals unite

Taylor, 21, found himself pulling two grown men away from a sinking car. In the ultimate deadlift, Kassian, 20, pulled an upside-down 2-year-old boy out of the water by his feet and pummeled the water from his lungs and throat. Taylor and Kassian witnessed the end of a police chase where a car with three adults and the 2-year-old were fleeing Alabama Department of Corrections officers who said the adults were trying to smuggle drugs into Tutwiler Prison. Luckily for those in the car, Kassian and Taylor ignored the “No Swimming” sign at the bottom of the boat ramp. Water nearly covered it and the man driving the car was concerned only with keeping the officers behind him, not what was in front of him in the darkness. “We heard the sirens and a big commotion and saw a white car flying down the hill,” Taylor said. “Their windows were down. There were two or three cop cars after them. And I said, ‘They’re never going to stop in time.’ When they hit the bottom of the ramp, I saw sparks flying.” Kassian said, “That car came through here doing every bit of 85.” The Coosa River swallowed the car just as quickly. As Kassian and Taylor ran to the water, a woman emerged from its depths. “Out of all the commotion, this woman was screaming, ‘My baby! My baby!’ Taylor said. Kassian admitted he hesitated at first. “I won’t lie, I didn’t want to go in,” he said. “But when she said, ‘My baby!’ I don’t care

what race or gender they are, I’m not going to let somebody drown right in front of us. I don’t understand why she didn’t get her baby.” “So we got in the water,” Taylor said. “We passed her swimming out there. She could swim. That water was cold, maybe 40 or 50 degrees. I said my prayers when I went in the water.” Kassian said the man fishing off the boat ramp narrowly avoided being struck by the car as it plunged into the river but still wanted to help. “He had a cooler full of fish and he dumped them out so we could use the cooler to give them something to float on,” Kassian said. Taylor said he could see the car when he entered the water because people arrived with flashlights. Kassian said he had trouble finding the boy, who he estimated was 40 to 50 yards from the river bank. “When I got to the baby, the only thing I saw was the shoes sticking up out of the water,” Kassian said. “He was upside down. I picked him up like I found him. I got him up and hit him pretty good on the back and he started spitting water up so I knew he was alive. I started swimming back holding him in my arms, keeping his head above the water. It was a (long) swim.” Kassian began to struggle while swimming with one arm. “I started to scream for help myself but no one came out to help me,” he said. “The Lord helped me.” Taylor also had trouble once he reached the car and the two men with the cooler.

certain death. “She was in handcuffs,” he said. Authorities also clamped handcuffs on the man when Taylor got him to shore. Kassian said he later talked with the boy’s uncle and grandparents and they thanked him. And he wants to meet the 2-year-old who is unlikely to remember the night Kassian saved his life but owes his future to him. “I didn’t think it was all that much,” Kassian said. “Any person in their right mind who could swim would have done it. I hope other people would have done that. God had us here at the right time.” The Elmore County High School graduates have accepted praise with humility. “Our family and friends are very proud,” Taylor said. “Our teachers in high school have posted it all over Facebook.” Saving those lives also reinJimmy Wigfield / The Outlook forced their dreams; Taylor Dustin Taylor, left, and Mason Kassian stand by the ‘No Swimming’ sign at wants to be a firefighter and Gold Star Park in Wetumpka where they went into the Coosa River to save Kassian an Alabama State a man and a 2-year-old boy from drowning.

Prisons

sewers and an indifference among prison officials to protect inmates. “The United States Constitution bans ‘cruel and unusual punishments’ but the conditions found in our investigation of Alabama prisons provide reasonable cause to believe there is a flagrant disregard of that injunction,” U.S. Attorney Richard Moore said in a release. “The failure to respect the rule of law by providing humane treatment for inmates in Alabama prisons is a poor reflection on those of us who live and work in Alabama. We are better than this. We do not need to tarry very long assessing blame but rather commit to righting this wrong and spare our state further embarrassment. The task is daunting but one we must embrace now without reservation.” As a result of an investigation that began in October 2016, the DOJ said it has reasonable cause to believe conditions in Alabama’s men’s prisons violate the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the prisons fail to protect prisoners from prisoneron-prisoner violence and prisoner-on-prisoner sexual abuse. “This massive undertaking alleges constitutional troubles in the Alabama Department of Corrections which are serious, systemic and in need of fundamental and comprehensive change,” U.S. Attorney Jay Town said in a release. “That being said, I have great confidence in the State of Alabama’s resolve to

correct the prison system’s problems. The commitment by Gov. Ivey, (ADOC) Commissioner (Jeff) Dunn and so many others in the state’s leadership to affirmatively address these inherited issues offers great promise of our development of a meaningful remedy.” The DOJ said Alabama has one of the most overcrowded prison systems in the nation. According to recent data published by the ADOC, the state houses approximately 16,327 prisoners in major correctional facilities designed to hold 9,882. At Staton Correctional Facility near Wetumpka, a medium-security prison designed for 508 prisoners, 1,385 inmates were incarcerated in November 2018 for an occupancy rate of 272.6 percent, the DOJ said. Exacerbating the security problem, the ADOC acknowledged in February it needs to hire more than 2,000 correctional officers and 125 supervisors to adequately staff its men’s prisons, the DOJ said. According to the ADOC’s staffing report from June 2018, Alabama’s prisons employ 1,072 of 3,326 authorized correctional officer slots. In fiscal year 2017, a correctional officer at St. Clair with a base pay of $38,426.60 earned almost $80,000 in overtime. “The violations are severe, systemic and exacerbated by serious deficiencies in staffing and supervision; overcrowding; ineffective

housing and classification protocols; inadequate incident reporting; inability to control the flow of contraband into and within the prisons, including illegal drugs and weapons; ineffective prison management and training; insufficient maintenance and cleaning of facilities; the use of segregation and solitary confinement to both punish and protect victims of violence and/ or sexual abuse; and a high level of violence that is too common, cruel, of an unusual nature and pervasive,” the report said. The DOJ report cited examples, including these from one week in September 2017: • Two inmates in the Hot Bay at Bibb Correctional Facility stood guard while two other prisoners stabbed a victim to death and wounded another. Prisoners banged on the locked doors to get the attention of security staff. When an officer finally responded, he found the prisoner lying on the floor bleeding from his chest. One Hot Bay inmate told investigators he could still hear the prisoner’s screams in his sleep. • That same day at Staton, a prisoner was stabbed multiple times by another prisoner and had to be medically evacuated by helicopter to a nearby hospital. The following day, at Elmore, a prisoner was beaten and injured by four other prisoners.

• A prisoner asleep in the St. Clair honor dormitory, which is reserved for prisoners with good behavior, was awakened when two prisoners began beating him with a sock filled with metal locks. • At Staton, a prisoner threatened a correctional officer with a knife measuring 7 inches long. • At Fountain, a prisoner set fire to another prisoner’s bed blanket while he was sleeping. • A prisoner at Easterling was forced at knifepoint to perform oral sex on two other prisoners. • At Bullock, a prisoner was found unresponsive on the floor by his bed and later died due to an overdose of synthetic marijuana. The DOJ said conditions at Draper in October 2017 included open sewage running by a pathway used to access the facility, reports of standing sewage water on the floors, and rats and maggots in the kitchen. The DOJ said it has reason to believe the state has underreported inmate deaths. According to the ADOC’s public reports, 24 prisoners were murdered between January 2015 and June 2018 but investigators uncovered three more unreported homicides. “These unreported homicides provide reasonable cause to believe that ADOC’s homicide rate is higher than what ADOC has publicly reported,” the

DOJ report said. “There are numerous instances where ADOC incident reports classified deaths as due to ‘natural’ causes when, in actuality, the deaths were likely caused by prisoneron-prisoner violence. “ADOC is frequently unable to protect its prisoners from violence despite having advance notice that the prisoners may be in danger. Our investigation uncovered numerous instances where prisoners explicitly informed prison officials that they feared for their safety and were later killed. In other cases, prisoners were killed by individuals with a lengthy history of violence against other prisoners.” The DOJ said a subpoena revealed 30 deaths of various causes from January 2015 through 2017 the state did not disclose. Ivey said the DOJ report identified many areas the state is aware of and she vowed to work with the federal government. “We remain steadfast in +

our commitment to public safety, making certain that this Alabama problem has an Alabama solution,” she said in a release. Dunn said the ADOC has been working to improve correctional officer hiring and retention; developing effective prison management, including efforts to curtail the entry of contraband; and replacing an outdated prison system with stateof-the-art correctional facilities. “ADOC voluntarily assisted the DOJ in every reasonable way with the investigation,” Dunn said in a release. “Our primary objective is to ensure each facility provides a humane, secure and safe environment for inmates and that reforms already in place and proposed bring about positive, tangible changes throughout the prison system. Gov. Ivey’s commitment to working closely with the legislature to resolve this generational problem will ultimately lead to a 21st century prison system.”

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You say what’s on your mind. Don’t push another person too far. You could be surprised by how he or she reacts.

Others seek you out and want your feedback. You might not realize how angry you are about a personal matter. Keep the restraint that you’ve had until now. Your anger could be more challenging than you initially thought. Tonight: To the wee hours. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be debating whether taking the lead on a matter that you feel strongly about is worthwhile. A friend cheers you on. Plunge in, knowing that this action works for you.

Tonight: Share with a key loved one. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Another person charges toward you and has an idea that works for them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could decide to head in a new direction. You have all the energy that you need to pursue a goal. If anyone blocks you, you’re likely to lose your temper.

EASY VICTORY I

Thursday, April 4, 2019

4 reasons this Auburn hoops team is historic

Reeltown slips past Coosa, 13-2 STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

Despite trailing by a run after the first inning, Reeltown’s baseball team easily came back, scoring at least three runs in four of the five innings to take down Central Coosa, 13-2, on Tuesday night. The Rebels racked up eight hits in the victory but were also helped along by seven Cougar errors. Coosa (3-14) actually took an early lead, as Jashaslin James and Ryan Payne both drew walks to lead off the bottom of the first. James then moved to third on a wild pitch before a sacrifice fly from TD Parker put the Cougars ahead 1-0 at the end of the first. But it all went downhill from there as Reeltown (1110) immediately stormed back. Robert Crittenden was hit by a pitch but was tagged out on a fielder’s choice during Kolby Coan’s at bat. Parker Hardin was then issued a free pass before Colt Adcock loaded the bases with a single. Reeltown tied things up as Cade Wood reached on an error, giving Coan time to score, and Gabe Bryant laced a two-run double to left field. The Rebels added to their lead with RBIs from Crittenden, Hardin and Adcock in the top of the third, and from there, the Cougars could never recover. Hardin and Adcock led the Rebels with a pair of hits each, while Crittenden racked up three RBIs. Jordan Whitlow and Hardin also plated two runs apiece. Logan Hunt went the five-inning distance, giving up just four hits and one earned run. Although he walked six, he struck out 12. James led the Cougars with two hits, while Parker and Cruz Godoy each contributed one.

SOFTBALL Generals toppled Sylacauga behind strong offense

an 8-5 lead before the inning’s end. The Generals added three insurance runs in the top of the seventh on an error and a pair of bases loaded walks, but the advantage was more than enough to stave off the Aggies. Whiteard led the offense with three singles, while Reagan Taylor, Vickers and Templeton each had two hits. Every Horseshoe Bend starter had at least one hit. Carlisle and Danielle Mitchell combined for the victory in the circle. Carlisle threw the first four innings, allowing five hits. Although she gave up five runs, only two were earned. Mitchell closed out the win by giving up three hits and no runs in three innings.

Reeltown’s Gabe Bryant had a two-run double Tuesday night.

Reeltown explodes for 19 runs in area victory

Fourteen hits were more than enough for Horseshoe Bend’s softball team to overcome an early deficit against Sylacauga on Tuesday night and steal an 11-5 victory. After trailing 5-3 through four innings, the Generals exploded for five runs in the top of the fifth. With one out on the board, Ivy Vickers drew a walk to start things off and she was moved into scoring position on a Caly Carlisle double. Then Horseshoe Bend’s bats took off. Leighann McWhorter, Alyssa Whiteard and Kennedy Templeton each had RBI singles, and Nadia Brooks smashed a two-run triple to give the Generals

LaFayette’s softball team was no match for Reeltown, as the Rebels racked up 10 hits in a 19-2 victory Tuesday. Morgan McGuire, Chloe Davidson, Kenzie Hornsby and Savannah Hornsby each had two hits to lead the Rebel offense. Savannah Hornsby racked up three RBIs, while Marlee Knox plated a pair of runs. Karlee Cotten and Kenzie Hornsby earned the win in the circle. Cotten went two innings, giving up just one hit and striking out two. Hornsby threw one hitless inning.
