Eagle Scouts complete bridge-to-bridge paddle By Cliff Williams Outlook Staff Writer
Cliff Williams / The Outlook
Ryan Jones, left, and Matt Harris, Alexander City natives and Eagle Scouts paddle their canoe in the Kowaliga basin.
Thursday was not the typical late summer day at the lake for Alexander City natives Matt Harris and Ryan Jones. Instead of relaxing before the pair heads back to school at Central Alabama Community College and Auburn University, they decided to paddle a canoe from the put in at Coley Creek and paddle all the way to Kowaliga Restaurant. Yes, paddle a canoe 15 miles in one day. It may sounds crazy to
most people, but paddling is nothing new to the pair of Eagle Scouts. “Two and half weeks ago we got back from the Boy Scout High Adventure Base in Minnesota,” Harris said. “We were canoeing for two weeks in the Quetico Provincial Park just north of the Boundary Waters Cane Area in northern Minnesota. We canoed 139 miles.” “We decided after we came back,” Jones said. “If we could do that – we could do this little stretch.” They began the trek at the city
BAND BONANZA
Alabama gets high automotive rankings Local suppliers figure into No. 2 national rank By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor
Business Facilities Magazine has ranked Alabama as the No. 2 state in the country for “Automotive Manufacturing Strength” and local employers can smile knowing they played a roll in the high marks. Record output at Alabama’s three auto assembly plants were obviously a big factor in allowing Alabama to surpass Tennessee this year, after ranking below Tennessee in the No. 3 spot last year. The magazine reported that nearly a million vehicles were produced in 2014 by Alabama plants for Mercedes, Honda and Hyundai. While those numbers are impressive, automotive parts suppliers like the six that call the local area home, also figured into the recently released rankings.
High school bands from Dadeville, Horseshoe Bend and Reeltown gave a sneak peek at this year’s halftime shows Thursday night at the Second annual Band Bonanza in Dadeville.

Paving projects moving forward
Contractors ask for patience from motorists as they work to finish several major projects in the area By Carmen Rogers For the Outlook
As anyone with students attending Benjamin Russell High School or anyone who travels Highway 63 or Highway 22 knows – there is a lot of grading and paving currently in progress on these roadways. The paving contractor handling most of the work says that the delays will be worth the wait. “We should be finished with the work on Highway 63 and Highway 22 just around the middle of September, if we get good weather, it might alter by a week or two but we should be done by mid September,” said David Ingram of Gary Ingram Paving and Grading. The summer is a very busy time for paving contractors. Ingram crews have been working in the area since early spring. See ROADS, Page 3

The trip was not without a little adventure. “We did not tip over,” Jones commented. “We decided to take a little break See PADDLE, Page 3
There is critical need for blood donations right now and local manufacturer AmTech worked with the Red Cross to help meet the demand Thursday. AmTech held a blood drive for the Red Cross Thursday so its employees and local residents could donate. “AmTech is all about giving back to the community and that was the main thing, especially by donating the blood back to the local hospital this helps the local community,” said Mallory Padgett, HR director of AmTech. AmTech has 123 employees and provides contract-manufacturing services, mostly wiring harnesses, to original equipment manufacturers in the commercial, industrial, medical and automotive business.
Now Playing:
Vacation – R Fantastic Four – PG-13 Man From Uncle – PG-13
In all, 28 people turned out to donate, and even though three were ineligible, the plant still reached its goal of 25 pints collected. In addition to the blood given to the local hospital, AmTech will contribute $3 for each blood donation and the Red Cross will match that amount. The money raised will be given to the local school system. So as a result, a $125 donation will be given to the Alexander City School System. “We do this quarterly. We will hold the next blood drive in November and that drive will have an Auburn vs. Alabama theme to help boost donations,” Padgett said. AmTech employee Sandra White said she has a personal reason for donating blood. “Probably nine or 10 years ago Carmen Rogers / The Outlook my friend’s husband had to have A Red Cross technician prepares to package blood donated at AmSee BLOOD, Page 3 Tech for transport to area hospitals Thursday.

The Outlook DEAR ABBY: I had a close friend from middle school into adulthood. (I’ll call her Lacey.) We were each other’s maids of honor and best friends for years. A few years ago we had a falling out. She was going through a tough time and lashed out at me. When I tried to have a conversation with her to tell her I didn’t like how she was treating me, she told me to “have a nice life.” Shortly after that, my youngest sister struck up a friendship with her and insisted that my parents invite her for Thanksgiving dinner. I told my mother I wasn’t comfortable with Lacey joining our family dinner, but Mother said it would be rude to not invite her. I no longer join my family for holiday dinners. Is it wrong of me to not want my family to be so friendly with someone who was unkind to me? It seems odd to me that my former friend would pursue relationships with my sisters and parents, and
Joe “Craig” Nix was born in Gadsden, Alabama on May 12, 1955. He passed away unexpectedly on August 12, 2015 at Saint Francis Medical Center in Monroe, Louisiana. Craig was baptized in the First Baptist Church in Reeltown, Alabama, where he enjoyed long summers of fishing and water skiing with family and friends on nearby Lake Martin. Craig graduated from Reeltown High School in 1974, where he played varsity football for the Reeltown Rebels. Craig loved people and was particullarly fond of his pets--especially cats. His passion for cars, driving, and all things mechanical led him to a lengthy and successful career in the trucking industry, where he often kept a feline companion on his long haul routes.

Training Leaders.” AIDT, which has trained 600,000 Alabamians since it was founded in 1971, is a division of the Alabama Department of Commerce. “We’re proud of the efforts that these rankings represent,” Commerce Secretary Greg Canfield said in a released statement. “But there is still much work to be done. With a new workforce incentive structure and a streamlining of resources, we’re poised for even greater things in Alabama.” AIDT is expanding its responsibilities in workforce development with key programs being consolidated within the department. AIDT remains the centerpiece of Alabama’s workforce development efforts. AIDT is considered one of the state’s strongest economic development assets.
“It’s always nice when rankings come out and people outside of the state recognize the job you’re doing as an organization,” said Deputy Commerce Secretary for Workforce Development and AIDT Director Ed Castile. “But it really says more about the people of Alabama who go through training and get those advanced skill jobs and make the products that people want. They truly are the best assets we have.” Alabama also ranked No. 6 among the states in the “Education: Tech Skill Leaders” category and No. 9 for “Lowest Industrial Electricity Rates.” Business Facilities has been ranking states annually for 11 years.

Three Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program projects – Coven Abbett, Comer and Hillabee – were all paved by Ingram. The company also handled the work for Alexander City Road Improvement Projects, which were funded by the half-cent sales tax that was adopted by the Alexander City Council last year. On those jobs, asphalt was laid on Church Street, Lee Street, the roundabout, North Main and South Main streets. “Just around Alexander City we have got two DOT projects going on right there now in addition to what we have already done,” Ingram said. “We have the airport that we are fixing to start. We also have projects in Chambers, Coosa and Randolph counties.” While, the progress may disturb the regular routine of some motorists, these road repairs are good for the community and the local economy, Ingram said. These projects offer jobs to local people who otherwise may not have the opportunity to work. “I don’t know if this is a sign of the economy or not but it certainly helps,” Ingram said. “It keeps people busy and it keeps families fed.” School traffic should flow much smoother next week, as the project’s start time will be delayed to account for school transportation. “Starting next week we are going to begin work at 8 a.m.,” Ingram said. While the company does not decide on the scheduling of the roadwork, Ingram admits that he scheduled the road repairs to begin in front of Benjamin Russell High School on Monday. “I just didn’t know that
was the day school started,” Ingram said apologetically. However, motorists should know that the work in front of the school should be completed by the end of next week. Some residents asked if the paving on roads like Highway 63 could be done at night. According to Ingram, because most of the work done by the company is done in rural areas, they are unable to do this work overnight. “Without proper lighting, the accident rate would rise dramatically if the roadwork was done overnight,” Ingram said. So for next few weeks motorist should remain vigilant and courteous. “I just appreciate their [the motorists’] patience,” Ingram said. “These guys are out there doing their job, and we ask people to be courteous and pardon the progress. Once everything is done, everyone should be happy. We really do appreciate the citizens working with us.”

The
Trumps, Trumpies and RINOS trouble for the GOP
Opinion
School’s in so D slow down
S
chools are back in session and a new school year is off to a good start. It goes without saying, but when school is in session that means traffic in and around school zones, plus children getting on and off buses in our neighborhoods. With that in mind, we ask you all to remember to slow down and watching out for children, who may not be watching out for you. State law says you must stop for a school bus that is stopped with its red lights flashing whether it is on your side of the road or not. These buses usually have a stop-sign arm on them, but you might not see it. Likewise, you might not see the children that step off these buses and run to nearby houses or people waiting for them. AAA urges drivers to be aware of children and extra cautious when backing out of driveways and parking spots in school zones and neighborhoods, especially in the morning and afternoon. Slow down. Obey the reduced speed limit in school zones. A pedestrian is nearly two-thirds less likely to be killed when struck by a vehicle traveling at 20 mph compared to a pedestrian struck by a vehicle traveling 30 mph. Eliminate distractions. Sometimes kids dart into the road unexpectedly. Taking your eyes off the road for just two seconds doubles the chance of crashing. Store cellphones out of reach — no texting, calling or emailing while driving. Come to a complete stop. More than one-third of drivers roll through stop signs in school zones or neighborhoods. Always come to a complete stop and check for children on sidewalks and in crosswalks. Plan for extra time. With school in session, there are more children walking and riding bicycles on streets and sidewalks. Drive slowly and choose alternate routes to avoid school zones if possible. Let’s make this a safe school year.
onald Trump did wonders for Fox News’ ratings and Megyn Kelly’s star power last week. But “The Donald” didn’t do himself, the Republican Party or the conservative cause any favors. Millions of viewers saw clear evidence that Trump is not a serious Republican candidate or really a conservative. He espoused no conservative principles or policies. He offered no ideas or specific conservative solutions to any domestic or foreign problem. All he proved – as if the whole TV audience didn’t already know – was that he’s an egomaniacal billionaire who’s certain he’d make a good Republican president. During the debate, he repeated his shallow generalities about building a high wall to stop illegal immigration, making better trade deals with China and the serial incompetence of our leaders in Washington. And he boasted that “I’m rich. I buy candidates. Government is broken. I can fix it.” Because he appeals mostly to people who listen to conservative talk radio 24/7, Trump has won over a large number of Republicans and conservatives who mistakenly think he is one of them. Trump’s poll numbers in Iowa, New Hampshire and elsewhere have gone up since last week. They remain embarrassingly high for the Republican Party, but they’ll start falling to Earth soon. It’ll happen when his Don Rickles routine wears thin, his liberal tendencies are exposed and the GOP’s bloated preseason roster gets cut down to Jeb, Scott, John, Rand, Ted and probably Carly. Meanwhile, Trump
MICHAEL REGAN Columnist
has issued a threat to the Republican Party. He said that if it does not treat him “fairly” or with “respect,” whatever that means, he might run next fall as an independent or a third party candidate. Trump calls his threat “leverage” but I think others would call it “extortion” or “blackmail.” If he doesn’t get his way, he’d be willing to sabotage the GOP in 2016 and almost certainly give Hillary, Joe Biden or even Bernie the Socialist the keys to the White House. Meanwhile, as if Trump was not causing enough trouble for the GOP, the party has to deal with a chronic problem within its own conservative ranks that cost it the last presidential election. For some reason, many Republicans and conservatives have become their own worst enemies. If they don’t agree with 100 percent of everything a primary candidate says or does, they call him or her a “Republican in name only” and they’re against them. It’s gotten totally nuts and self-defeating. As a party we laud Jeb for his many successes as a conservative governor of Florida. But because he’s in favor of Common Core or immigration reform, some conservatives declare him a RINO unfit to be president. It’s the same with John Kasich. Conservatives love him because he brought us a bal-
anced budget in Washington as a congressman and then went on to turn Ohio around as governor. But because recently he accepted federal Medicaid money for Ohio, some conservatives don’t think he should be president. He’s a RINO. To make matters worse, if their favorite in the primary doesn’t win, many conservative Republicans won’t show up in the general election to vote for president. Ask Mitt Romney how that works out. Conservatives love to drop my father’s name and try to find candidates that act and think like he did. But they forget that Ronald Reagan was an 80-20 guy. He was happy to agree with 80 percent of a Republican candidate’s views because he knew that he’d never find someone with whom he agreed 100 percent. He didn’t make the perfect conservative the enemy of the good conservative. And he always, always, always supported the final choice of the Republican Party – even after they beat him in the primary. Finally, may I remind everyone that as governor, Ronald Reagan, the great conservative, raised taxes and signed an abortion bill. That would disqualify him as a RINO by today’s standards. Yet he was the best president in our lifetime. Michael Reagan is the son of President Ronald Reagan, a political consultant, and the author of “The New Reagan Revolution” (St. Martin’s Press).

City still shows no action in addressing cleanup issues Dear Editor, You published my letter on the lack of getting anything done about, weeds, junk cars, etc. You thought you might be able to get some answers. Well, just wanted to let you know, we still have nothing being done. I have heard from no one on the city council or the Alexander City Police Department. Now comes the “just ignore it and it will go away” stance. Went through this for two years already. We even tried to gets some action by
going before the Council, only to be told that they tabled that until the next meeting. That was after an officer brought me a letter from the City Clerk informing me of the meeting. But after the third trip up there with no action, I let it go. But, not this time! I want answers! And I mean to get them. Jimmie Stevens Alexander City
Thanks to Alexander City’s Good Samaritans Dear Editor, I know often times we hear stories about how people do not care about one another these days and that people are just too busy to care. I wanted to write to the newspaper in an effort to let the community there know that there are people in your community who really do care. On a recent trip to Birmingham to go to see a specialist, I stopped at the Alexander City Walmart to pick up a few items before finishing the final leg of the trip. When I finished shopping and returned to my car, the car wouldn’t start. I tried and tried but the car was just dead. That’s when a young man in a faded and rusty blue Chevy pickup truck noticed that I was having trouble. He came and asked if he could help. He popped my hood and checked the wires and then pulled beside my car. By this time another
man and his sweet wife had come to check on me, too. Before I knew it tools were out, booster cables were connected and my car was running again. Apparently my cables had gotten loose and in trying to crank it I had ran the battery down. One young man even showed me how to reset the clock on my dash. I tried to pay them, but they would have no part of that. They shook my hand and they were gone before I could even get their names. So to those who helped me last Friday morning at the Alexander City Walmart, I say thank you. It is so nice to know that there are good people in the world. Dorothy Kirby Opelika

JACQUELINE BIGARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STARS ARIES (March 21-April 19) --Make a resolution today that involves a loved one. You feel as if there is no time like the present to clear out a hassle. Tap into your imagination, and you will produce a different type of interaction. Be more upbeat than you have been in the past. Tonight: Christen the weekend well. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --Express your caring to someone you really care about. Finally, you seem to have accepted this person as he or she is. A newfound peace has allowed this bond to evolve to a new depth and level of understanding. Tonight: Let the party begin. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --You have a way of expressing yourself and knowing what you need. You might decide to change your communication style with one person. In doing this, you are giving both of you the space to grow. Often your expectations limit you. Tonight: Out and about. CANCER (June 21-July 22) --You have become more aware of your budget and of the direction you would like to head in. Even still, you might have a hard time restricting your spending. Know that you have what it takes. You can make what you want happen. Tonight: Fun doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to cost much. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --A decision you make today is likely to last. Make choices that suit you, but also remain aware of the long-term implications involved. You have a good sense of direction that will guide you. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow someone to rain on your parade. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --Take your time, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel as if you are being restricted. If your energy seems to be off, know that it could be because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exhausted. Take a break from the here and now. Decide to do yoga or some other relaxing activity. Tonight: Forget tonight. Think â&#x20AC;&#x153;weekend.â&#x20AC;?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) --You might want to rethink a decision regarding an important friendship. You also might want to jump on a situation and move forward with it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) --You might be more in touch with your needs than you had thought possible. Nevertheless, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to put your best foot forward when dealing with a higher-up or older relative. Not everything is as it seems. Discussions are likely to be animated. Tonight: Leader of the gang. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) --You will open up to a new conversation revolving around a potential trip and/or different cultures.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --You are more concerned about a loved one than you realize. Your conversations with this person might not be effective, but only time will tell. Slow down and take time for yourself. Reassess the liabilities of a Âżnancial partnership if need be. Tonight: Make it early. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) --You might need to defer to someone else, even though you would rather not have to. Sometimes allowing others to see the results of their ideas is more important than letting them know that you feel they are heading in the wrong direction. Tonight: So many invitations. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) --You will accomplish a lot. Listen to what is being shared about a key project. Though you might want to relax and head out, you are better off completing what you are doing. You will start the weekend in a clearer frame of mind.

Benjamin Russell senior defensive tackle Tae Robinson recorded 27 tackles for loss and 10 sacks in 2014 to land himself on the Class 6A AllState team. He is hoping to top that performance in 2015.
By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor
In 2014, opponents saw Benjamin Russell’s No. 66 in their backfield so much that he probably had a starring role in their nightmares. That man is senior defensive tackle Tae Robinson, and he wrecked havoc all the way to his second career All-State selection in 2014 with 59 tackles, 27 for loss, and 10 sacks. And he is anxious and ready to do it all over again in 2015, while accomplishing big goals in the process. “Football taught me a lot, so I don’t really want it to end, but I’m ready for the football season to come,” Robinson said. “Team wise, we want to win state, of course. Beat Opelika, well, demolish Opelika, and be regional champs. Individually, I want to make All-State first team and finish up with my stats a little better. It’s going to be a good year for me in my senior year.” As he has moved up as a senior on the Benjamin Russell defensive line, Robinson has become more of a leader. He said it is important that he sets the tone for the Wildcats in 2015, and he has learned to lead from those who came before him. “It’s pretty important. I’m just about the only senior up there on the line,” Robinson said. “I’ve just been trying to keep the unit tight, together and fill that leadership role. I try to keep everyone in line. Becoming a leader, you’re not used

Bench Max: 370 lbs Squat Max: 645 lbs to being a leader because you’re usually used to following somebody. But through following somebody, you can learn to become a good leader.” Robinson said each time he lines up in the trenches, his objective is simple: beat his opponent.
“I just want to beat the guy across from me and I want to win,” Robinson said. “I like good competition. That’s what I like about the game of football.” Robinson, who also placed fourth in the state for Class 6A as a wrestler, said the sport has helped him greatly in preparing for the upcoming football season. “Wrestling helps me lot. Just before the season starts, it helps me get in condition,” Robinson said. “Then, it helps teach me to stay low and keep myself level to the ground. I tell everybody about wrestling, you’ve got to stay in a stance just about every time in wrestling, so staying low helps you.” While he will line up primarily at defensive tackle, Robinson will also play some defensive end for the Wildcats in 2015. “Defensive tackle, that’s where you’re in the trenches for real because you have to take on double blocks and you’ve got to take on crack blocks,” Robinson said. “Defensive end, you’ve really just got one man, so that’s when I’m having fun is when I’m playing defensive end.” But the one thing that both positions have in common is the toughness it takes to battle in the trenches. “For one, you’ve got to have heart. You’ve got to have that mindset that you’re not going to be beat and that you’re going to beat the man across from you,” Robinson said. “Just overall, you’ve got to have that competitive edge and like to compete.”
Coosa growing in first weeks of practice By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

Coosa’s Rod Whetstone turns the corner during practice earlier this week.
The Central High School of Coosa County Cougars kicked off practices earlier this month as they open a new era under first-year coach Barry Simmons. While the Cougars were not able to host two-a-days due to an early start for classes, Simmons said they have been building energy on the practice field and trying to forge some leadership. “It’s been good. We started back school a little bit early, so we couldn’t get two-a-days in because of that, but we’ve been practicing all we can,” Simmons said. “There’s been a lot of energy at practice, but we’re trying to get more energy at practice and develop some leaders out here during practice.” Simmons said most of the installation of the offensive and defensive
schemes was done in the summer, and that the first couple of weeks of practice have been dedicated to refreshing a lot of what was learned. “We had already gotten a lot done this summer, so we had installed most of our offense and defense already. The first two days has been a lot of reviewing what we’ve already done,” Simmons said. “After that, it’s been about getting acclimated to the pads and talking about being physical through practice. We couldn’t hit until Friday and we could only do a small session then, but that’s the way we have to practice now. This week has been a lot better, a lot more intensity with what we’re doing.” Simmons said so far, the players have adjusted well to being in full pads and some players are doing well in learning new positions. “It gets to be a little bit of a grind when you put the pads on, but
our kids have been doing good,” Simmons said. “I’m still excited about what we’re doing, how we’re doing it and I’m still looking forward to the season. Some people are having to learn new positions, so they’re getting adjusted to that during full contact.” As the Cougars will get their first taste of live contact against an opposing team on Aug. 21 at Wadley, Simmons said most positions are open as an emphasis has been placed on competition. “We like to make every position a battle, even going into the first week before our jamboree. We have several positions that they’re still battling at,” Simmons said. “We want to play as many kids as we can, but we’re going to put the best kids out there. So, we like to have battles at every position we can. Now, there are certain positions that are settled now, but there are still some up in the air.”
