City to weigh pay raises, economic development pacts Council to again take up reorganization plan, abatement packages

By David Granger If reports around town are to be believed, coyotes are continuing their encroachment on the city. There have been more and more sightings of the animals within the Alexander City city limits. One citizen was cited for illegal discharge of a firearm after shooting at a coyote that was attempting to mate with his dog. There are even reports of the animals – normally considered carnivores – routinely munch on the melons of at least one local farmer. Kelly Cotney, an animal control officer for the Alexander City Police Department, says while reports of coyotes within the city have increased,

Robinson said to catch a robbery in progress and catch the suspect without incident is an unusual occurrence and credited See ROBBERY, Page 5

Pay raises that were part of a reorganization plan for the Alexander City Public Works Department, but were not approved by a vote of the Alexander City City Council will be back on the agenda for Monday night’s council meeting. Also on the agenda are two economic development agreements that could be good news for the local economy. One of the project development agreements will help pave the way for an expansion at SL Alabama. The second is part of a move that will help Jacksons Gap-based CES Industries purchase the former Russell Corp. New No. 1 Building and set up operation for its laminated paper business, which needs space for expansion. While there may not be a lot of discussion on those two items where agreements are all but finalized, it’s likely that there will be plenty of talk on the Public Works issue. The reorganization plan was the subject of a work session last week that got testy with a heated exchange over communication and the lack thereof between council members Bob Howard and Tony Goss. In two previous meetings, the item was on the agenda and no action was taken. Public Works Director and City Engineer Gerard Brewer showed an organizational chart and explained how duties would be shifted. Brewer said that, over time, the department would reduce the number of superintendents and employees, which would save the city more than $58,000 per year. Some on the council have expressed issues with approving the plan now since it wasn’t handled in accordance with the city personnel manual. Brewer apologized to the council for the See COUNCIL, Page 3

DEAR ABBY: I am normally a law-abiding citizen. I was pulled over a half-block away from picking up my son and charged with DUI. I don’t dispute the facts, but I didn’t injure anyone. I had taken prescription meds (the meds did have warnings) in addition to having drunk three beers two hours earlier. I hurt myself and my son, because he needed me to pick him up. I didn’t put anyone else in jeopardy. No one was physically hurt. I did not contest that I should lose my license for a year, but I do contest jail time. I feel if they are going to put me in jail, they should have put away the men who rearended my sister and niece and caused them lasting injuries. I don’t deny my guilt. I suggest only that I am less guilty than others. Abby, what do you think? -- PULLED OVER SOMEWHERE IN THE USA DEAR PULLED OVER: I

What you did was irresponsible because it could have placed your son in jeopardy. Pointing at “the ones who got away” is a waste of time.

Giddens, 19, of Auburn has been arrested and charged with burglary in connection with the July 20 break in and theft at the Lake Hill Chevron on Highway 280 in Alexander City. “We were able to identify him as a suspect due to the image we captured from surveillance video,” Lovett said. “We posted it on Facebook and it was used by the newspaper and in other places. A tip came in from a citizen who recognized the person and gave us a name. “We interviewed him and searched his residence, where some of the items taken from the store were found in a book bag. In the interview, he ended up admitting to breaking into the store and taking the items.” In the burglary, the glass front door at Chevron was smashed at about 2 a.m. Lovett said that the suspect took several cartons of cigarettes, including Newports, cigars and lighters. Chief Willie G. Robinson applauded the efforts of Det. Riley Foshee and the citizen who came forward with information. “It was good solid police work, but it wouldn’t have been possible without help from the citizen,” Robinson said. “There are a lot of good people in our area and this really shows that to be true.” Alexander City investigators are also working with Tallapoosa County investigators to see if Giddens may be responsible for a second burglary on the same day. A burglary at Walnut Hill Grocery had much the same scenario, a smashed window to gain entry and the same basic items taken by the suspect. “It’s very similar and they are looking to see if he can be tied to that one as well,” Lovett said. Just as in this case, anyone with any information on any crime is asked to contact the Alexander City Police Department investigators at 256-234-3421.

there is little that animal control officers can do about the animals. “We are definitely getting more reports of people seeing coyotes in the city,” Cotney said. “About the only thing we can do is try and set a trap. We’ve done that a few times, but we’ve only caught one coyote. It was a puppy and we actually caught it by accident.” Cotney said the difficulty with trapping a coyote is largely the need to boil a trap before using it to kill the human scent on it. “We have no means of boiling a trap down,” said Cotney. “And if you don’t boil it and get that scent off, chances are slim that they’re going to come near it. They’ve got so much to feed on without the bait in a trap that they’re very wary.” Michael East, a conservation officer with the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, con-

firmed the necessity of boiling traps before attempting to catch coyotes. “Coyotes are real smart and have a good sense of smell,” East said. “You’d be surprised the lengths that people who trap them go to. They wear rubber gloves, knee pads, anything to prevent that human scent.” The coyote is a descendant of the gray wolf with its population worldwide limited to North and Central America. The typical male weights 18-44 pounds and the typical female is slightly smaller at an average of 15-40 pounds. The largest coyote on record was killed in Afton, Wyoming in 1937 and weighed in at 75 pounds. Coytotes are also known for their ability to adapt to different environments, which accounts for their persistence in urban environments.

“Nine times out of 10, coyotes will just stand and look at you, because they’re not afraid,” said Cotney. “The best thing to do is to just leave them alone unless they’re causing a nuisance.” One local man who has found coyotes a nuisance is John Baker, who grows watermelons at his Rickwood Farms. While people were buying them at the Alexander City’s MainStreet market recently, he said coyotes have discovered his melon patch, too. “They have eaten up just about every melon I have left in the field,” Baker said. “They will scratch them with their paw until they get a hole through the rind and then they will stick their snout in and eat every bit of it. “They will even take the little (melons) and play with them like they are a ball.” Baker even had a

Council

melon on the back of his truck that had a few scratches on the outside, evidence that a coyote had tried unsuccessfully to get that one, too. Baker said no matter what he does to run them off or rid his Washington Street farm of the coyotes, there are apparently so many it is nearly impossible to keep them away. East said that coyotes eat several different kinds of fruit, but seem to be especially attracted to watermelons. “I’ll get a call from someone that will tell me the deer have been in their watermelons,” East said. “I’ll go out there and the vines will be pulled tight and stretched. Well, I know then it’s a coyote, because they’ll actually

pull the melon loose from the vine. A deer will just bust the watermelons in the patch, but coyotes will pull them loose and sometimes tote them off in the woods. I’ve found piles of watermelon where a coyote has taken them off and eaten his fill.”

improper handling and said he will not make the same mistake again. “I felt like these were reassignments and they could be done that way. I now know they can’t be done that way,” Brewer said at a recent work session. “Because the number of jobs was going down and the budget dollar amount was going down and not up, I thought it was OK to do it that way. Trust me, I know now and it won’t happen again.” The raises and reorganization were part of a group of raises that were approved by Mayor Charles Shaw, but were not approved by council, as is required according to City Attorney Larkin Radney. As a result, the council rejected salary increases for Shaw’s executive secretary, a raise for the human resources director and pay hikes for nine employees at the Adams Water Treatment Plant. Other items on the agenda include: • A resolution awarding the bid for walk path at the new soccer complex • An ordinance renewing a lease for a city building at 264 Tallapoosa Street • A resolution declaring a public nui-

When: Fridays and Saturdays are key days with a starting time of 6am or 7am (remember to expect early birds) and can run as late as you like - stating “until” or “?” allows YOU to decide the time.

Advertise: Advertising your yard

Where: If you live in a large community get with your neighbors about having a giant neighborhood sale - the more in one area, the larger the crowd. Yard sales are not allowed to be held on a vacant lot in city limits nor is it allowed on any right of way.

Change: This is very important!

Permits: For Alexander City residents a $2 permit is required for a yard sale. You can pick this up at the City Hall. One-yard sale is allowed per quarter with duration of 4 consecutive days each yard sale. For Dadeville residents, no permit is required.

Set Up: Start setting up a minimum of an hour prior to your sale! You will need sheets, tables, signs, price stickers, change box and change. Do not hang signs on right of way or nail any signs to trees or power/utility poles.

sale will always bring a large crowd! Make sure to put it in your local paper and make signs to put up by where you live. ADVERTISING IS KEY! Not everyone drives by your house to see your signs.

Proper change of ones, fives, tens and quarters will be needed to begin your yard sale.

Pricing: Remember it is a Yard Sale - Knowing what to price your items is of crucial importance! See tips below. Clothes: Depends on the brand and condition of the clothing. If item is stained or damage it is usually best to just put them in a free box or given to donation. Books: Typical rate for paperback books range from $.50-$1, Hardback $1-$2. Specials like 5 for $3 are usually a great way to get rid of those unwanted books. Tapes/CD’s: Bundle pricing is a great way to sell them quickly. Electronics: Labeling “works”, “not sure if works” and “worked last time used” helps to sell item. Video Games: Kids love spending their “own” money, so the better priced games are, the more you will sell. DVD’s: Depending on the age/condition of the movie $1-3 is always a good starting point. Household Items: Usually a breeze to sell! With good pricing and condition, home items are like hotcakes fresh off the griddle! Furniture: HOT! HOT! HOT! Sports Equipment: Usually a rare item at yard sales so a huge crowd pleaser! Toys: One word KIDS! Tools: Still functions? Then you can sell a tool!

Open house is only the start for parent involvement

T

he 2015-16 school year is quickly approaching. Alexander City Schools will officially open their doors for classes on Aug. 10, a week from Monday. In the meantime, the local schools are all – with the exception of Benjamin Russell High School, which will host its open house on Tuesday, Aug. 18 – hosting open houses next week, giving parents the opportunity to meet their children’s teachers, ask questions, become familiar with expectations and learn more about things like the After the Bell after-school program and the role the Alexander City Schools Education Foundation plays in helping to fund local schools. We encourage all parents in the city to take advantage of these openhouse opportunities. Now, as the new school year kicks off, is the time to set a tone of being active in your child’s educational process. Study after study has shown that parental involvement in the education of a child serves to make that child stronger and more curious intellectually. But it only begins when you show up for the open house. Let the open house be the beginning of a year in which your attentiveness to your child’s educational and social needs reach a new level. Ask your child about his or her day daily. If you know the subject, offer to help with homework. Engage your child in activities that supplement what they’re learning about in school. If your child is an athlete or a member of the band, join the quarterback club or band boosters. Volunteer in the classroom. Talk often with your child’s teachers to check on their progress and to see if there are things you can do at home to help. Often, even the most simple things can bring your child to have an intellectual breakthrough, to see an entire concept come together. Take it from us. Do these things and your kid won’t think that you’re uncool. They’ll know that you care.

Tums and fish guts make for good fertilizer

S

uccessful gardeners are a resourceful bunch, full of lessons learned the hard way. Just ask Tommy Paulk, who moved his vegetable garden to containers on the deck of his house because “the deer just ate me up” in the yard. “I tried planting enough for both of us,” Paulk said. “The deer didn’t see it that way.” Paulk and Dennis Thomas, who both headed up Bonnie Plants at different times, shared their experiences in container gardening, fall gardening and raising tomatoes with the Springhouse Gardeners’ group at lunch Friday. Like you would expect at Springhouse, the lunch was excellent. So were the speakers. I learned a bunch of interesting things, such as Thomas’ home recipe for sure-fire tomato success: dig a hole deep enough to bury three-fourths of a tomato plant, strip off the branches that will be underground, toss in a Tums and a bunch of fish guts. Fish guts are a time-honored fertilizer. Of course, it requires the gardener to be a good fisherman or at least befriend one. It’s hard to buy fish guts over the counter. I asked Thomas how much fish guts should be used. “You can’t use too much,” he said. And I believe him, unless of course you’re combining Thomas’ advice with Paulk’s and growing those tomatoes

on your deck. On the other hand, if you want some extra cats around the house, fishy potted plants might be just the ticket. Tums is a modern approach to the age-old problem of tomato blossom end rot, caused by a lack of calcium in a tomato plant. The active ingredient in Tums is calcium carbonate. “Most people plant tomatoes too shallow. If a tomato is 12 inches tall, plant 9 inches underground,” Thomas said, which caused a collective gasp in the Springhouse dining room. “It’s impossible to plant tomatoes too deep.” Thomas also talked about a subject near and deer – sorry – dear to my heart: fall gardens. I love ‘em mostly because I love fall vegetables, which I’ve kept going all winter some years. “It’s easy to grow a fall garden, and you’re growing yourself to good health,” Thomas said. Kale, the latest wonder vegetable, is a great fall crop. So are broccoli, collards, mustard and turnip greens, all those deep, dark leafy greens the experts say you’re supposed to eat. Cabbage is another great fall crop, but a guy has to draw the vegetable line somewhere … personally I draw that line right between those

greens and cabbage. But if you like it, make sure to include it in your fall garden. A couple of other things I learned about fall gardening. If you’re buying Bonnie transplants, they’re a lot cheaper than spring plants. A 9-pack of collards works out to 40 cents a plant or so. Thomas says if you plant your fall garden during the first 10 days of September, you’ll eliminate most potential insect problems – he says he doesn’t spray pesticides at all in the fall. I’ll add that weeding is a lot easier when the temperatures drop, because the temperatures have dropped and because not so many weeds come up in the first place. Paulk told a story about one of those pests that you can’t spray. He said he noticed that his tomatoes were deflating, that he was just harvesting tomato skins. So he staked out his garden with a .22 rifle to take care of the mystery pest. That’s when he saw a Yellowhammer fly down, stick its beak into a tomato, slurp up the best part and leave the skin hanging on the vines.

A

labama state government cannot fund the essential needed level of services of government without new revenue. The General Fund supports most non-education related functions of state government. For decades, problems have existed in the way crucial services have been funded because no growth taxes were available to support the budget. A temporary solution for many years has been to support the ailing fund with one-time revenue and push the problem down the road for future leaders to solve. With mounting debts that state government owes dating back to 2005 and no one-time revenue available, we are at a critical point where we cannot continue to operate government without more revenue or unacceptable cuts in services. During the 2015 Regular Session, there was a proposal to drastically cut services Alabamians expect. These services affect all of us – those who depend on state troopers to respond to the scene of an accident or the court system to resolve criminal and civil matters and those who need mental health services. We have reformed our Medicaid Agency to help sustain hospitals and nursing homes. The Alabama

ROBERT BENTLEY Governor

Department of Corrections is operating more effectively and efficiently. Any major cut will significantly hurt the progress we have made with both agencies. Many ideas have been circulated about how to solve the budget crisis. For several months, my administration has heard and researched many of these proposals. I have proposed a strong, yet simple, plan that will provide not only revenue for the General Fund during the 2016 fiscal year but will also fundamentally change the way the state sets its budgets and solve this problem for the long-term. My plan is aimed at protecting against significant cuts in services in the General Fund through a combined approach of budget reforms and revenue increases. Neither are drastic approaches, and a majority of Alabamians will not be significantly impacted. I have spent the last few months meeting with Legislative leadership and individual legislators discussing the

importance of new revenue. I believe the vast majority of the Alabama Legislature is ready to be problem solvers. The most conservative citizens of Alabama are opposed to drastic cuts to important services and programs. This was clearly seen in a 65 percent vote of the people in September of 2012. This vote allowed Alabama to borrow money out of the Alabama Trust Fund to keep the state from making drastic cuts to Public Safety, Mental Health, State Parks, Medicaid, Corrections and other important agencies. Borrowing money is less conservative than the small, fair taxes I have proposed. You elected me to make difficult decisions and solve problems. You also elected your legislators to do the same. I take my responsibility seriously and I know the Legislature does as well. Alabama’s future depends on strong leadership. When lawmakers return Monday to Montgomery to continue the Special Session, there is a critical choice they will have to make. I believe they will take a bold leadership step and properly fund the services Alabamians expect. By working together, we can make Alabama a great place to live, work and raise a family.

In addition to the community-wide event at the Sportplex, the Alexander City Police Department is also encouraging neighborhoods to take part through cookouts, neighborhood meetings and other community gatherings on Tuesday, Aug. 4, which is the night of the national celebration.

The Outlook

A tethered hot-air balloon, a train and a chance to meet first responders that help protect our community are just part of all the activities that those attending Alexander City’s National Night Out event this Thursday at the Sportplex can expect. The Alexander City Police Department and Alexander City Parks and Recreation are inviting citizens to celebrate at the Sportplex in the parking lot by the football stadium from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. An annual community-police awareness-raising event that promotes police-community partnerships, crime prevention, safety and neighborhood camaraderie, National Night Out is in its 32nd year. This is the second annual celebration of the event in Alexander City. “We have all sorts of things planned,” said Lt. James Orr of the Alexander City Police Department. “But the big thing is that we really want a big crowd to come out. It’s a great opportunity to network and build relationships with the people who are out in the community working to keep it safe.” On Thursday night at the Sportplex, the police department as well as other public safety and first responder groups in the city and county – including the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s

Maxwell’s attention to detail for the arrest. “That was a great job by Officer Maxwell of being aware of the area he was patrolling and paying close attention to what is going on,” Robinson said. “I’m sure the suspect is thinking what kind of luck is that to have an officer coming by at the exact time they are robbing the place. It was good timing, but it was good work by Officer Maxwell, too.” Maxwell is relatively new to the force, but had experience as an officer in Tuskegee before joining the force in Alexander City earlier this year.

Creek State Park too,” Ingram said. “Currently we are trying to get the first of two layers of asphalt over the sections that are now tar and gravel. We should have that finished by Wednesday.” Ingram explained that the project involves more than just putting down asphalt. “The parts of that section of 63 that have not been widened yet, we are widening to 28 feet,” Ingram said. “We are planing the road, removing some of the current asphalt. We are also correcting the slope

in several of the curves in that stretch of road. When we are done, you will see two new layers of asphalt that have been put down and the entire stretch will be widened.” Ingram is hopeful the weather will be good and that residents and everyone driving Highway 63 remain patient. “If the weather cooperates we should be finished by mid-September,” Ingram said. “We are also thankful for everyone being patient and cooperative while we finish the project.”

The community came out and hit the greens on Friday to support the Benjamin Russell High School girls and boys golf programs. The Wildcats hosted their annual golf fundraiser Friday at Lakewinds Golf Course. Proceeds from Friday’s event support both the girls and boys golf teams at Benjamin Russell throughout the upcoming golf season. Wes Tate, Benjamin Russell boys golf coach, said the Wildcats are thankful for the support of those who participated in and sponsored Friday’s fundraiser. “We’ve had a good crowd. We’re a little short on teams – we ended up with nine total teams – but we thank the good Lord for those,� Tate said. “The weather, we couldn’t ask for better. It’s a little hot, but there’s no rain. Our sponsors have been great and Lakewinds Golf Course is always good to us. We’re so blessed to have

them be the course that we play on. It’s gone really well.� Mandi Durr, Benjamin Russell girls golf coach, also thanked those who supported the two programs on Friday. “We appreciate all of the players that have come out to support us today,� Durr said. “This is our only fundraiser, so this is how we actually fund the golf teams come spring and summer. We just appreciate the community support and we appreciate the dedication the players have given thus far.� Tate said, thanks to the support received on Friday, the Wildcats will not need to conduct another fundraiser this year. “With what we made, we’ll be able to fund the whole season and won’t have to do anymore fundraisers,� Tate said. “So, our community and the guys and girls that are playing in the tournament, we want to thank them because they have funded our year.�

Dadeville volleyball to enter new era under Ford By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

For the first time since its creation in 2000, the Dadeville High School volleyball program will be under new leadership at the coaching position. After Coach Sabrina Milligan accepted a position at Beauregard High School, Coach Magan Ford, who served as an assistant under Milligan last season, is the new head volleyball coach of the Lady Tigers. Ford, who also is the head softball coach of Dadeville High School and played volleyball under Benjamin Russell Coach Pam Robinson, said she has a tough act to follow in Milligan, who founded the pro- Ford gram years ago. “I have huge shoes to fill in Coach Milligan. She started the program and she’s built the program to what it is today,� Ford said. “She had such high expectations for the girls each year that I have to continue to have those high expectations and keep the program going in the direction that she had it going. That’s the biggest thing is to just keep growing.� Between Milligan’s departure earlier this summer and Ford recently getting married, Ford has not had much time to work with the team, but she said the team will focus heavily on the fundamentals when practices open on Monday.

“We’ll get started Monday with everything. We’re going to focus on all of the little things,� Ford said. “We’ve got to work on fundamentals because without fundamentals we have nothing. We’re going to get started and work hard.� Between the varsity and JV squads, Ford said Dadeville will suit up about 22 total players. The team will be led by a pair of rising seniors who return with key experience from last season. “We have a good group of girls coming back and we just have to keep getting better every day,� Ford said. “We’ve got a good group of older girls to lead a good group of younger girls. I’ve got two seniors with Hallie Cox and De’Shana Johnson. They’re the kind of seniors that coaches want. They lead by example. They’re going to be the first ones out there each day, they’re going to hustle, so I’m really lucky in that aspect.� Despite the fresh start, Ford said the program will still aspire to the high expectations and try to build upon what Milligan established. “I’m just excited to keep the program going. I hope that we reach a lot of our goals,� Ford said. “We’re going to set our goals high, not just because I’m coming File / The Outlook in and it’s new. We’re going to get right back to business and continue and expand Dadeville High School’s De’Shana Johnson, right, will be one of the Lady Tigers’ key returning players in 2015. on what Coach Milligan established.�
