Ruling seals fate of Pleasure Point By Betsy Iler

TPI Magazine Editor

Fewer than 30 mobile homes and other structures remain at Lake Martin’s Pleasure Point Park and Marina, and a spokesman for Alabama Power Company Tuesday afternoon said the owners of the structures have until September 14 to remove them. The power company has hired a licensed environmental contracting company to conduct

the cleanup effort after Circuit Judge Steven R. Perryman on July 8 issued a summary judgment in favor of Alabama Power. Perryman denied motions for additional discovery and injunctive relief filed on behalf of homeowners in the suit, finding that additional discovery would not change the ruling. “The environmental contractors we have hired are taking the lead in the cleanup and See RULING, Page A6

While many of the structures at Pleasure Point have been cleared, a July 8 ruling means that any stragglers must be gone by Sept. 14.

Details of new hiking trail emerge

County schools work towards facilities plan

Outlook Staff Writer

Commissioner sought to help with Capital Improvement Plan

The area between Kent and Martin Dam will soon be home to a new hiking trail featuring the world’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge. Jimmy Lanier of the Cherokee Ridge Alpine Trail Association talked Monday night to the Red Hill Community Club about the plans for the trail, which will run the length of the old Lake Martin Railroad bed from Tucker Road near Kent to below Martin Dam. The Lake Martin Railroad was used during the building of Martin Dam to transport materials for the construction of the dam from Kent to Cherokee Bluff, the site of the dam. “In 1923, Alabama Power Co. built the railroad,” Lanier said. “They started building it in early 1923 and it was finished in December. It was six miles long and included seven trestle bridges and a cattle gap. We figured out there was approximately 1.4 million board feet of lumber used in those bridges and the gap.” The construction of what would become Martin Dam – dedicated to honor Alabama

With the new 1-cent sales tax on the minds of all in Tallapoosa County, the Tallapoosa County Board of Education is working to bring a county commissioner into its Capital Improvement Plan Committee so that the commission is more aware of what is going on at the schools. “I think it is only right and proper to invite one of the commissioners to sit on this committee since they passed the 1-cent sales tax,” Tallapoosa County Schools superintendent Joe Windle told the board at Monday’s meeting. “It will become an issue at some point in the future and I think it is an important part of what we want to do. I think it will head off questions the commission might have. The capital improvement committee is really needed as it helps us direct how funds will be spent over the next five years especially when it comes to facilities.” The board reappointed board member Michael Carter to the committee. Windle asked the board to approve the placement of maintenance supervisor Dwayne Johnson on the salary matrix as a supervisor with less than nine years experience. “When we hired him, we gave him five years experience based on what he

Grant makes new courthouse x-ray machine possible By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

Mitch Sneed / The Outlook

Jerome Braden, left, and Sam Harris, right, look on as Sheriﬀ Jimmy Abbett, center, puts the new Tallapoosa County Courthouse x-ray machine through a check.

Visitors to the Tallapoosa County Courthouse can enjoy a new level of security thanks to a Homeland Security grant that funded a new x-ray machine at the main entrance to the building. Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett said that the $29,900 grant allowed them to replace an aging piece of equipment that they wouldn’t have been able to replace otherwise. “The previous machine had outlived its usefulness,” Abbett said. “I

mean our guys did the best they could with it, but this new machine gives a whole new level of detail that we just did not get with the other equipment.” The machine comes with a display screen that gives a vivid image of the items that are placed on the belt and run through the scanner. This is the first upgrade of equipment at the courthouse since it was mandated in 2006 that the Sheriff’s Department be responsible for security there. Abbett said that the See X-RAY, Page A7

DEAR ABBY: Are senior citizens having more affairs these days? I used to laugh at the “old couples’ sex letters” I’d see in your column -- until it hit home. My husband (age 68) ran into a 38-year-old ex-waitress friend. They had lunch, which led to emails and texts, which led to sexts and then a fullblown affair. I believe these personal/secretive forms of communication make going from texting to sexting much too easy. Our generation didn’t have much sexual freedom growing up. I think men of that generation have a “go for it before it’s too late” mentality, and the combination of the Internet and Viagra is making it possible. Should every couple insist on access to their spouse’s devices? How do you broach the subject? I wish I had seen the number of texts being sent early on. Then this whole ugly affair might have been

Mr. Harrell passed away on Sunday, August 9, 2015 at Lake Martin Community Hospital due to a heart attack. He was born on September 2, 1953 in Ocilla, Georgia to Henry Harrell and Velma Bishop Harrell. He attended First Baptist Church of Dadeville. Mike worked in the credit union industry since 1978 and was the CEO of ACIPCO Federal Credit Union for the past 25 years. He served on the Alabama Credit Union League Board and other credit union movement positions. Mike loved his family dearly and enjoyed spending time with them.

DEAR BRYAN: Kyle may be gorgeous, but he doesn’t appear to be a very responsible pet owner. He should have asked his veterinarian to check his dogs when he realized they were having repeated gastrointestinal upsets. As to the poor animals’ breathing, it may be because short-faced dogs are prone to breathing problems. It’s possible that Kyle is so used to the doggy odor in his house that he no longer smells it. That’s why it couldn’t hurt to tell him YOU have noticed it, that it’s overwhelming, and it’s time to get a professional cleaning crew in there.

AFLAC’s roots run deep in southern Alabama

here is a very iconic company founded in Alabama that has made state, southern, national and international history. It is an Aflac, one of the greatest success stories in American business lore. Although it is headquartered on Alabama’s border in Columbus, Georgia, we in Alabama claim it as our own because its origins are in Coffee County. Indeed, Alabama has always had the highest number of policyholders per capita within the tremendous Aflac clientele base. Growing up in Alabama it seemed that everyone I knew owned an American Family Life Cancer policy. From the beginning of the company they had a reputation for paying their claims like Roscoe. Their remarkable reputation for paying claims instantly and without reservation spread by word of mouth throughout the state and region. Word of mouth is still the best form of advertising, even if you have an iconic duck. Aflac truly enjoyed a stellar reputation in the Heart of Dixie. That reputation of superlative claim service still prevails with the company. I saw this legendary claim service first hand when my mother was diagnosed with cancer. She had numerous American Family Cancer policies. A lady named Maggie Allen had sold everybody in Pike County a policy or two. It seemed like my mother received a check a day for years without ever filling out a claim form. Aflac was founded 60 years ago in Enterprise. The founding fathers were three brothers with the last name of Amos. The oldest brother, John Amos, formed the insurance company in 1955. He was a lawyer and a visionary. He is responsible for expanding the company and turning it into the major insurer in Japan. Bill Amos was the middle brother. He was the nuts and bolts inside man. He was the operations guy who knew how to keep company costs down

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist

even while growing exponentially. Paul Amos was the younger brother. Paul was the salesman. He pioneered a unique selling technique. While most insurers sold policies individually, Paul improvised the idea of cluster selling at worksites. Instead of making presentations to individuals, the Aflac sales representatives went to companies and made sales pitches to groups of employees. Today most of Aflac’s United States policies are bought through payroll deductions. In 1964, the company changed their official name to the American Family Life Assurance Company and in 1969 it adopted the acronym Aflac. A few years later they went to one of the top advertising agencies in New York to make a significant national ad buy. They came up with the duck that quacks the word “Aflac.” It has become the company’s famous and humorous symbol. It has made Aflac one of the best known insurance companies in the world, if not the best known. Paul Amos started his career as the sales manager for Alabama. Aflac has continued this practice of making an Amos the director of sales for Alabama and the panhandle of Florida. It has become a tradition that an Amos ancestor will eventually rise to the top of the ladder at the company. However, their first job is as a salesman in Alabama. Paul Amos passed away last year at 88. His son, Dan Amos, is Aflac’s chairman and CEO. Dan Amos has been at the helm of Aflac for over two decades. He has overseen remarkable growth and profitability. He has moved Aflac into a worldwide leader in the insurance indus-

try. Aflac today has grown into a giant that insures more than 50 million people and has $121 billion in assets. It has 185,000 agents nationwide. That is not bad for a trio of good old far-reaching and bigthinking Alabama boys. Even as big as John Amos dreamed, it is doubtful that even he could have imagined the magnitude of what he and his brothers, Bill and Paul, started 60 years ago in Enterprise. If the Amos brothers were alive today, they would be proud of their company and also proud that an Amos still runs their company – quite admirably by the way. See you next week.

Extenstion Service Rain Barrel Workshop set for Aug. 21 Staff Report The Outlook

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot and dry and many plants are suffering from all the heat. Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it be nice if you could give your plants a drink of water without spending money on city water. Having a rain barrel sure would be nice about now, especially to catch that next shower of rain. Your plants would love you. Well, here is your chance. The Tallapoosa County Extension and the Middle Tallapoosa Clean Water Partnership will host a Build a Rain Barrel Workshop on Friday,

properties. Large plastic rain barrels are now available at home and garden stores and on the Internet. For best results, choose one that is at least 42 gallons. Rain barrels typically tie into your home guttering system. They reduce water pollution by reducing the amount of stormwater runoff. There are many rain barrel designs, both commercial and creative DIY styles. No matter the design, they all have three things in common: incoming, outgoing, and overflow features. For more information, contact the Tallapoosa County Extension office at 256-825-1050.

Aug. 21 at the Sportplex Gym in Alexander City from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Participants will learn about rain harvesting basics, types of rain barrels, rain barrel construction and rain barrel uses and irrigation methods. Registered participants will receive a 55-gallon rain barrel. Workshop fee is $30 per person. Additional barrels with hose bib are $20. Rain barrels and cisterns are ancient technologies and they are making a comeback as water shortages prompt homeowners to save and use rain that falls on their

Boys and Girls Club ready for new school year Staff Report The Outlook

The Boys and Girls Club of the Lake Martin Area will be opened in Alexander City, Dadeville, Goodwater and Camp Hill. The unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hours of operation are MondayFriday from 2:30 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. and registration is $25 and $20 per week. Ages preK-6th grade attend our units at Stephens, Dadeville Elementary, Goodwater and Camp Hill, those 13-17 attend the Teen Center located at 1009 Cherokee Road. Applications can be picked up at the Administrative Office or at all school open houses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our mission is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential in life as productive, responsible and caring citizens and we have a great start here,â&#x20AC;? said Director Melissa Reynolds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last week, Alabama Kids Count released their findings that our area is 45th in the state for at-risk children which includes poverty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has got to get better, and it is up to us. What is unique is that the clubs are not a program run like a school setting. There is a relaxed atmosphere that gives children time to breath a little, have fun, but at the same time learn.â&#x20AC;? The Boys and Girls Clubs fulfill its mission by implementing an Impact Plan: â&#x20AC;˘Power Hour: one-on-one help with homework. â&#x20AC;˘Education and Career Development: enables youth to become proficient in basic educational disciplines, set goals, explore careers, prepare for college and employment. â&#x20AC;˘Character and Leadership Development: empowers youth to support and influence their club and community, develop a positive self-image and good character. â&#x20AC;˘Health and Life Skills: develops young peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity to engage in positive behaviors that nurture their own well-being. â&#x20AC;˘Sports and Fitness: develops fitness, positive use of leisure time and skills for stress management. â&#x20AC;˘Cultural Arts and Activities: enable youth to develop their creativity and cultural awareness through knowledge and appreciation of the visual arts. â&#x20AC;˘Family Nights â&#x20AC;˘Field trips to Auburn football games and BRHS

home games!! â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is about the children,â&#x20AC;? said Reynolds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here the children can get homework help, participate in activities while building skills in character and leadership, healthy habits and participate in community projects and field trips. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a parent and need a safe place for your children after school we are it. Call on us. We have fun.â&#x20AC;? The Boys & Girls Club staff is educated to help tutor kids. All have been through Spillett University focusing on childcare, safety, and professionalism. There are three staff members with Bachelor of Science Education Degrees and one with a Masters degree in Education, said Reynolds. The Boys and Girls Club Movement holds an intrinsic belief that every child in America deserves an equal chance to pursue the American Dream, to have a genuine opportunity to realize their full potential â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to achieve a great future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we consider the future we recognize that the stakes are high for our young people and our nation,â&#x20AC;? Reynolds said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more difficult than ever for young people growing up today

to claim a great future. The challenges for youth in disadvantaged circumstances are greater than ever before.â&#x20AC;? Registration is now. You may contact the Boys and Girls Club Administrative Office at 256-234-4757 for

applications. For more information for your child you may contact Melissa Reynolds at the Boys and Girls Club Administrative Office at 256-234-4757.

Violation to Alabama Power in July 2013, noting septic tank failures and graywater discharge problems could not be remedied until structures were removed from the premises. The power company had leased

the 25.8-acre mobile home park and marina to Lausanne Walters of Florida, and residents reported that despite reports to Walters of the inadequate conditions, she apparently took little or no action to make reparations. Alabama Power’s spokesman said the company has made no plans for the future of the property and has removed the acreage from the list of natural and undeveloped land designated for recreational use in the terms of their pending license agreement with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. “Maybe down the road, we will reopen the marina or allow someone to reopen the marina, but it’s really too early to make any plans for the property,” the spokesman said.

Planning had done, like many in the career tech center,” Windle said. “We hired him two years ago and this gives him seven years experience.” Carter wanted to make sure remarks of the savings in the last two years would be added to the documentation for this. The board approved the move on the matrix with board president Martin Johnson abstaining from the vote as Dwayne Johnson is his brother. Windle pointed to an enclosure in the packet detailing the reorganization of the central office and the duties of its staff members. The biggest change was bringing in Casey Davis whose responsibilities as director of student services include establishing and maintaining a Tallapoosa County Facebook page and Twitter account, maintaining the system’s web page, supervising student testing and assessments, textbook coordinator, system safety coordinator, charter school coordinator, community relations, education, and accreditation. Davis addressed the board as the how affective the Facebook page has been in just a few days. “We took the Facebook page live Wednesday and by Saturday we had 475 likes,” Davis said. “We put up the lunchroom menus and it seems to have been received well. People like the instant notification. We are providing some of the same information just in a different format.” “I think it is great,” board member Randy Anderson said. “We will be able to share and spread the positive news in our system.” The digital effort is part of the theme for the system this year. “Our theme this year is ‘Building Relationships in a Digital World,’” Windle said. “Written and verbal communication is becoming a lost art. This digital world revolves around texting and phones. That is the world the students are in.” Windle said that Facebook and Twitter are some of the ways that the system is trying to communicate with students and others about what is going on in the system. Windle gave the board an update on the first day of school and enrollment. “It was as smooth of start as you could ask for,” Windle said. “Normally you will have at least a small transportation problem and we

did not have that.” Windle told the board that enrollment was up to 2,878 students system wide and that they have at least 15 to 20 more to enroll and that he sees potential in enrollment in blended learning. “With blended learning we can have students taking courses online,” Windle said. “That could help us with enrollment. We should be able to do that when we get our e-rate money and can build out the infrastructure.” Current enrollment at Reeltown is 834, at Horseshoe Bend 804, at Councill Middle School 251, at Dadeville High School 406 and at Dadeville Elementary School 580. Windle informed the board that about 125 students would be travelling to Montgomery Wednesday to visit the state house and capitol as part the building citizenship program many are studying in civics and social studies. The Tallapoosa County School Board also:  approved the minutes of the July 13 regular meeting, the July 16 special meeting and the July 28 special meeting.  approved payment of the July 2015 bills.  approved the $10,000 membership fee for the Alabama Association of School Boards.  approved the monthly financial report.  approved the retirement of Dadeville High School parapro/busdriver Susan Corley.  approved the correction of records to reflect the start date of July 29, 2010 for county schools chief financial officer Phil Blasingame.  approved the resignation of Reeltown Elementary School Pre-k teacher Jennifer Causey.  approved the employment of part-time bus drivers Susan Corley, Darlene Hartley, Nancy McGhee and Lisa Langford.  had a first reading of an anaphylaxis policy that is coming from the Alabama State Department of Education.  approved a resolution declaring August Civics and Government month. The board has a scheduled work session Sept. 1 at 5 p.m. and regular meeting Sept. 8 at 5 p.m.

Trail

Power Co. president Thomas W. Martin in 1936 – was completed in 1926. Probably the biggest highlight of the trail will be what will be the world’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge, which will span Channahatchee Creek. CRATA already has a design for the bridge. According to Lanier, the only formality that remains for the building of the trail is negotiation with Forever Wild and the owner of the land that will make up the northern end of the trail. “We are negotiating with Forever Wild on the northern part of the property,” Lanier said. “Forever Wild has agreed to buy it and the land owner has agreed to sell it.” Lanier said the trail will not be a looped trail, but will require that hikers shuttle from one of the two parking lots at either end

of the trail – one at Tucker Road in Kent and one at the boat ramp below Martin Dam – either before or after their hike. He suggests before. “I would suggest that the hikers park on the Martin Dam end below the boat ramp and then shuttle up to Tucker Road and hike the trail back through,” Lanier said. Lanier said the trail would feature a riverside park at the dam end and several smaller trails that will divert from the main trail along the old railroad bed, such as one that will lead to Saddle Rock. He also said the Kent end of the trail could possibly be extended to Tallassee in the future. Lanier said that, in walking the old railroad bed, he found a couple of artifacts of the old railroad – a rail splice kit and a spike, both of which he said had likely lain there for more than 90 years. “We also discovered the old

courthouse has many as 8,500 visitors each month. On busy days, the old equipment has made it impossible to move the mass of people quickly and it often made the front door a bottleneck. “When you have the number of visitors that we do here, you want the facility to be as secure as possible,” Abbett said. “Our guys do a great job, but there was only so much you could do with that machine. We are thankful to have this and very appreciative of the grant that made it possible.” The equipment was put into service on Aug. 3.

bed of the Arkala Railroad, which went over the Tallapoosa River before the bridge was ever built,” Lanier said. “We will start working on the trail as soon as it gets cool,” Lanier said. “You don’t cut a trail when it’s hot and you have to worry about mosquitoes, snakes and other things. “Also, we won’t bring in a lot of equipment to cut the trail, as you might think. All you really need is a good pair of lopping shears, a bow saw, maybe a chainsaw and a Pulaski, which is a maddock on one end and a hatchet on the other end.” The trail along the old Lake Martin railroad bed will be the fourth developed by CRATA. Others include the Cherokee Ridge Alpine Trail, the Deadening Alpine Trail and the Smith Mountain Alpine Trail.

Superintendent Joe Windle told the Tallapoosa County School Board last night that enrollment on that system was up to 2,878 students system wide and that they have at least 15 to 20 more to enroll, but gave no numbers for comparison to last year. Windle said current enrollment at Reeltown is 834, at Horseshoe Bend 804, at Councill Middle School 251, at Dadeville High School 406 and at Dadeville Elementary School 580.

Reeltown senior running back Cody Martin will be expected to carry the Rebels’ oﬀense as he will take on the majority of the carries in the 2015 season. Martin will also line up at strong safety for Reeltown.

By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

It was not an uncommon sight in 2014 to see Reeltown’s No. 4 gashing opposing defenses each fall Friday night. It is a sight opponents would soon rather forget, but one they might as well get used to in 2015, as No. 4 will now get the bulk of the carries for the running Rebels. The man wearing that number? Senior running back Cody Martin, who is ready to put Reeltown on his back and carry them all the way to Tuscaloosa for a state championship. “Since it’s my senior year, I feel like I have to take on more of a leadership role,” Martin said. “All of the other years I had to sit back and learn and everything. But now I feel like it’s my year, and me and my teammates are going to try and lead this senior class to a championship.” During every bench rep, every sprint and every practice drill, Martin said there has only been one thought: lifting that championship trophy at the end of the season. “We’ve only got one goal this year, and that’s to lift that blue trophy up at the end of the year,” Martin said. “We’ve been working hard all off-season and summer, grinding and doing a lot of team-building. We want to win that championship at the end of the season.” With the graduation of last season’s leading rusher Ed Carraker, who rushed for

more than 1,000 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2014, Martin is the top returning rusher for the Rebels this season. After a junior season where he ran for nearly 700 yards to go along with seven scores, Martin is hoping to take on the brunt of the carries and increase that total in 2015. “All of the other years, I’ve been in the mix, but this year I feel like the team is going to be on my shoulders,” Martin said. “I’m going to have to really step up in the running game and try to lead the team in rushing this year.” This season will also see Martin return to the defensive side of the ball, as he will line up at strong safety for a historically good Rebels defense. Martin said he has been putting in a lot of reps to get ready for his new responsibility heading into this season. “This my first year back on defense because last year I was mainly offense,” Martin said. “I’ve been working hard at strong safety and I’m just going to go out there and help my team on defense any way I possibly can.” And with 2015 likely to be the final season for legendary Coach Jackie O’Neal, Martin said the Rebels are hoping to send the man who has guided them on the field their entire playing careers out with a season to remember. “We’re motivated because he taught us

State senator proposes resolution for AU to claim nine national championships

TALE OF THE TAPE

Height: 5’8” Weight: 145 lbs Year: Senior Position: Running Back/ Strong Safety Player synopsis: Speedy, elusive back. 40 time: 4.3 seconds everything we know from when we were in JV,” Martin said. “So, we feel like we owe him this. It’s his last year, so we want him to go out with a bang.”

According to an AL.com report, State Senator Tom Whatley, R-Auburn proposed a resolution on Monday urging Auburn University to claim nine national championships in football. The report states that Whatley’s resolution, which has six Senate co-sponsors, urged Auburn University to claim championships in 1910, 1913, 1914, 1958, 1983, 1993 and 2004. “The Auburn football team also proved itself to be the best team in the nation in 1910, 1914, 1958, and 2004,” the resolution states. “All nine of these special seasons are held close in the hearts of Auburn coaches, players, and fans and should be embraced by the university as championship seasons.” Auburn University won the national title in 1957 and 2010.

Williams needs Auburn as much as Auburn needs him T he big news reverberating from the Loveliest Village these days revolves around Duke Williams. Regrettably, it’s not about a spectacular one-handed touchdown grab or some other impressive feat of athletic ability (as it should be). Rather, it’s about his mysterious absence from practice for what Gus Malzahn labels as “disciplinary issues.” While I’ve heard most of the rumors, I’m not sure anyone in the media or on message boards truly knows the exact nature of his offense. I certainly don’t. I’m not certain I want to know. Gus says he’s handling it and I trust him to do so. It is his job after all. Malzahn said Williams has some things he must do and if he does them he’ll be back.

ANDY GRAHAM Sports Columnist

I guess that means it’s up to Duke now. While I can’t say for sure whether Williams will be back or not this season, I’m going to go out on a limb and say he plays against Louisville, but doesn’t start. Just for the sake of argument, though, let’s say Williams doesn’t come back. Auburn has some very talented receivers in its arsenal that I believe can be very effective. As I have said many times, I’m a big believer in Jeremy Johnson and I think he’s going to make everyone around him better.

That includes the receiving corps. Auburn hasn’t had a 1,000 yard receiver since 1999, but I believe that will happen this season even without Duke Williams. I’m expecting a couple of breakout stars from among Melvin Ray, Tony Stevens, Myron Burton, Stanton Truitt and Marcus Davis. Having said all that, Duke Williams is one of the best receivers in all of college football and he is, without question, the most talented receiver on the Auburn roster. He’s a rare combination of size and speed with incredibly dependable hands. As they say, he’s open even when he’s covered. I think back to last year in the Kansas State game. The Tigers struggled most of the night offensively. Yet, when they faced a must-have third-

down with the game on the line, they went to Duke Williams and got the first down. He also draws double teams which allow other receivers to get open. In other words, he cannot simply be replaced. Auburn can make up a lot of the difference with younger players stepping up, but losing a top-tier NFL draft pick would be a significant setback. While I don’t have any inside information, I truly believe Williams will be back in an Auburn uniform by game one. He might not start, but he’s going to play for the Tigers this year. There’s just too much at stake for him not to play. NFL scouts believe Williams is one of the best receivers in college football. If he goes out this year and plays well, he’s a guaranteed first-round draft pick and millionaire to boot.

Duke is smart enough to realize that troublemakers fall precipitously in the draft (unless they’re a quarterback). Auburn is universally considered to be a top 10 team going into the season with dreams of an SEC and national championship. Williams is a big piece of the puzzle. Auburn needs him and he needs Auburn. Maybe his ego has gone into overdrive. Maybe he doesn’t get along with his teammates. Maybe his teammates love him and he just made a stupid mistake. It doesn’t matter. He’ll do what Gus asks him to do and he’ll be back. There’s far too much on the line for Duke and Auburn not to kiss and makeup…at least for the next five months.
