Wildcats open season tonight, Gridiron Guide inside By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

Reeltown officially kicked off the high school football season last night with a game in Childersburg, while Coosa, Dadeville and Horseshoe Bend played in Jamboree games. Tonight, the attention turns to the Benjamin Russell Wildcats as

they begin their season tonight at the Sportplex against B.C. Rain. While fans have high hopes for Benjamin Russell this season, Coach Danny Horn said the Wildcats are focused on getting better each day in hopes that it leads to a long run into the postseason. “We just want to get better each week. Every day, we just want to

get better. The thing about football is that it is more of a team sport than any sport out there because you can have 10 people doing their job and one person not doing their job and it will mess the whole play up,” Horn said. “Our goal, basically, is to get better each day. If everybody gets better each day, eventually we’re going to end See FOOTBALL, Page 7

County seeks switch to appointed superintendent

City to recover money paid in error By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

Board advertises intent to seek local bill to end elections for post By Mitch Sneed

Cliff Williams / The Outlook

Outlook Editor

Just after pushing through a countywide sales tax increase for education, the Tallapoosa County Board of Education is advertising that they intend to ask local legislators to allow them to appoint a superintendent instead of allowing the people to vote. A legal advertisement is currently running in The Outlook and The Dadeville Record based on a resolution passed by the school board on July 11, which is required under state law before any move can be made. If a local bill is introduced by a local legislator, passed by both House and Senate and signed by the governor, it would “repeal Section 45-21100, Code of Alabama 1975, which provides for the election of the county superintendent of education.” That would mean at the end of the current term for Superintendent Joe Windle, the board would be allowed to appoint a superintendent rather than holding an election, which has been the practice in Tallapoosa County for generations. Windle said Thursday that the move was See SUPERINTENDENT, Page 2

Historic gathering

Horseshoe Bend to host annual muster Saturday By Corey Arwood Outlook Staff Writer

The Horseshoe Bend National Military Park will bring history to life this Saturday and give anyone who is interested a free chance to experience the lives and times of the Creek Indians, the Tennessee Militia and frontier families. Living history displays with both Creek Indian hunting and war camps

will show what life was like in the area, the types of tools and weapons that were used, and the foods and animals they hunted. There will be canon firing every 30 minutes along with musket firing, and anyone can join the militia and learn what was required to join. There will also be a focus on the lives of frontier women and that of the settlers after the battle. See MUSTER, Page 7

Local elementary school students watch as the cannon is fired at Horseshoe Bend National Military Park this past spring. The cannon will fire every 30 minutes starting at 10:30 a.m. with the last shot at 3:30 p.m at Saturday’s event.

Money paid to a former city employee for several weeks after they left the job will be repaid, according to Alexander City Mayor Charles Shaw. Shaw said that an error at a time when changes were being made in the way payroll was handled resulted in failure to take the employee out of the system. As a result, the employee’s salary continued to be paid along with the amount that went into a Retirement System of Alabama account. An exact amount of the error was not given, but Shaw said it was about $1,600. “We have talked to the employee and he was very nice about it and agreed to repay the amount that he was paid in error,” Shaw said. “We have also talked to RSA and they have agreed to reimburse the city as well.” Shaw said that some of See MONEY, Page 7

Goodwater police became involved in a stir caused by pictures shared on Facebook of what appeared to be an emaciated horse tethered to a tree. The owners surrendered their horses after being approached by police Thursday morning. Gerald Whetstone, police chief of Goodwater, said that he was first notified early that morning, by a Tallapoosa County resident concerned about the conditions the horses were being held in. He would not release names of the multiple parties involved. But he said that it was a result of a long-standing dispute between neighbors, and that at various times both accused the other of holding their animals in neglectful conditions.

The picture was posted by an Alexander City resident and was removed on Thursday. Hundreds of comments were left, mostly expressing concern over the horse. More pictures emerged of the horse in what looked like similar conditions from people claiming to be neighbors of the owner, Barry Harrison. Family members of Harrison also posted pictures of their animals, claiming they were in good conditions and that there was no neglect. There was concern raised in at least one comment over Chief Whetstone’s relation to Harrison. But he said that when it comes to doing his job, being distantly related made no difference. Submitted / The Outlook According to Whetstone the horses were moved to a location in Clay This horse has been moved from Goodwater to Clay County County. following allegations of neglect.

The Outlook DEAR ABBY: A man I work with found a dog on his way to the office. He picked it up, took it home and was immediately talking about what a good playmate the dog would make. He said he tried to call the local animal shelter, but was put on hold twice, so he gave up. I felt he should have made more of an attempt to find the owner before claiming it as his own. I immediately posted a free “found dog” ad online and, three weeks later, received a message. It turned out the dog belonged to a 72-year-old woman who lives alone. She discovered her back door open one day and her dog missing. I put my co-worker in touch with the lady and said I’d leave it to him to do what he felt was best. After confirming the dog was indeed hers, he reluctantly returned it to her. He is now telling everyone he’s very sad at his loss and that it was “almost as hard as having a dog put to sleep.” He’s receiv-

where it is loved and cared for. And that is NOT comparable to having to have one euthanized. However, because he is grieving, suggest he ask the owner for visitation. Out of gratitude, she may agree.

DEAR ABBY Advice

ing major sympathy from some of our co-workers who seem to be upset with me for posting the found dog ad. Am I wrong to think this small effort should have been expected in this situation, and what I did was the right thing? -- DID THE RIGHT THING IN TEXAS DEAR DID: I don’t think you did anything wrong, and I’m 100 percent positive that the dog’s owner would agree with me. She was probably worried sick, wondering if her beloved companion was lying injured or dead in a ditch somewhere. While I appreciate your coworker feeling a sense of loss at having to return the dog, he should be comforted in the knowledge that it’s in a home

DEAR ABBY: I have been with my partner, “Pat,” for 10 years. For personal reasons, we have chosen not to get married. I call him my partner because, for the majority of our 10 years together, we have lived together. We share multiple financial commitments, and he is truly my partner in life. My problem is, when I refer to Pat as my partner, people immediately ask me if I’m gay. I’m less worried about people thinking I might be a lesbian, but more that people might think Pat is a woman. Even his family members have remarked when I refer to him as my partner. I know our friends and family respect our choice to not be married, but I’m not sure what to call him other than my partner. I

Superintendent something that the board had been discussing for several years and something that has been done in numerous counties across the state recently. A recording of the July 11 meeting shows that the resolution was passed with no discussion and without the full resolution being read aloud for those in attendance. Copies of the resolution were not provided in advance on the meeting, but the item did appear on the agenda identified by just one word ”resolution” under miscellaneous items. Windle introduced the resolution and recommended it. Board member Michael Carter made a motion to adopt the resolution and Karen White seconded the motion. The motion passed 4-0. Board

member Randy Anderson was not at the meeting. A bill to make the move standard across the state was introduced for a session time during the regular legislative session in April. Republican state Rep. Steve McMillan of Baldwin County sponsored House Bill 434. The bill passed the house, but died in the Senate. McMillan has vowed to introduce it each session until is passed. “If you look at our track record for education in Alabama, I don’t think you can say that we’re doing it right and everybody else is wrong,” told the Associated Press in April. “This is a progressive move that will drastically improve education in the state.” Windle said that the move would allow the

board to set criteria for applicants that would assure the kind of experience that would be ideal for the system. “The state requirements to run for superintendent don’t require any administrative experience,” Windle said. “I can tell you that to do this job without that experience would be very, very difficult. I think if you asked people who have the appointed superintendents, they are more pleased with the level of managerial skills that they have in those system leaders than those who have elected superintendents.” Only three states Alabama, Florida and Mississippi – still elect school superintendents. Only 149 out of the more than 15,000 superintendents in the United States are elected. That amounts to less than 1 percent Data supplied by the Associated Press shows that here are still 36 school systems in Alabama that still have elected superintendents.

feel that “boyfriend” is too casual for our level of commitment. I don’t have a problem calling Pat my partner. I do have a problem with all the unnecessary confusion that follows. What should I call the man I am committed to and who is equally committed to me, when we have chosen to take the “no ring” route together? -- NOT SINGLE IN ST. LOUIS DEAR NOT SINGLE: You could use “better half,” but I think the word “partner” describes your relationship very well. If someone asks if you are gay or if Pat is a woman, don’t be defensive -- just say no. Giving more information to someone who isn’t close enough to you to already be aware of your situation is oversharing.

continued from page 1 Windle’s term is set to end Dec. 31, 2016. He said he hasn’t decided if he intends to run again, but said he does enjoy serving. “A lot of it depends on my health,” Windle said. “To do this job the way it needs to be done, it requires the ability to give it 10 to 12 hours a day. If I am healthy enough, I would like to serve. But if this should pass, then I would have to apply and go through the process just like every other applicant.” Windle said the resolution was approved by the board and was not something that he did on his own. He said it has nothing to do with the sales tax, which he said “most people know was something needed for education in Tallapoosa County.” Calls to Rep. Mark Tuggle and Senator Ton Whatley for comment on whether they would be willing to introduce the bill were not returned as of presstime Thursday.

Opinion

Support your community, support high school football

fter weeks of training in the hot sun, a new high school football season has kicked off in our area. The start of a new season is a special time. Before the whistle blows, it is a time when hope reigns and every player, coach, parent and team dreams of a magical season. You know, that incredible year where they make that run towards a championship. In our area, talk about how “the team” will do this year is the topic at virtually every breakfast table, at the post office or among friends who meet at the local grocery store. When we talk about football, let’s not forget about the groups that make it more than just a game. The high school bands, the cheerleaders, the dance teams, the flag corps and auxiliary groups all join to make the game an event. Like the players on the field, the students who perform as part of these groups have been practicing for weeks and attended summer camps to perfect their routines as they strive to help keep the crowd entertained. The pageantry and passion found at a high school football game is America at its best. The efforts of these talented young people who are out there for the love of what they do is refreshing to see in this day of multimillion dollar contracts and cheating scandals at the higher levels of the sport. High school sporting events create a sense of community that is unmatched. Has it been awhile since you have been to a game? Wait no longer. Whether you are a big fan, or just know that the boy who lives up the street plays and his sister is in the band – this is a time when you can show your support and be a part of something that is special. Support the team of your choice this season. Win, lose or draw – you will be glad that you were there.

The

Go out and support high school football

ome of my earliest childhood memories are of Friday nights in Channell-Lee Stadium in Opp watching the Opp High School Bobcats play. I can recall hanging around in the concession stand that my father, as vo-ag teacher and FFA advisor at Opp High School, was responsible for running. I remember bands playing. I recall high-school kids dressed to the nines, dates or not. I remember the cheerleaders wearing perpetual smiles, kicking and screaming to roust the team; some chewed freshly manicured fingernails when the going got tough. The air smelled of a mixture of grilled burgers, freshly mown grass and sweat. It seemed the town emptied on Friday nights, all the townspeople funneling into the football stadium where the Bobcats fought weekly for the city’s valor and reputation. And it wasn’t just Opp. In every small town in Alabama, from Alexander City to Zion Chapel, Florala to Rogersville, a high school football stadium was the Friday night place to be. Whether viewed alphabetically or geographically, Alabama on Friday nights was a patchwork quilt of school buses, football jerseys and fans dressed in the colors of the hometown high school. Friday night stadium lights burned brightly and all

but the infirm or the sadly disinterested were drawn. High school football doesn’t seem to be the same big deal that it used to be. I guess we have too many other diversions, many the result of the explosion of technology in our lives. We have video games and movies-ondemand, Facebook, Pinterest, Snapchat, Twitter and who knows what else? But somewhere not too far down the road – down your road – there is a reminder of the golden era when you dressed in your hip-huggers, leisure suit or best Liberty jeans and went to the ball game. Somewhere down the road, you can find teenagers struggling for gridiron glory and the honor of their team, their school, their community. Somewhere down the road you can relive your youth or root for a child or grandchild. All it takes is the price of a ticket. There’s still something special about putting the community’s youngest warriors on the field to do what generations have done before them. Many times, the opponents remain unchanged for years.

While the team struggles on the field, stories are told in the stands. Jake’s a little paunchier now, but he remembers the time he wiped out No. 77’s dad on a punt return. Bobby, always the jock, remembers the touchdown pass he threw, the only one the team scored that night. Joe’s still single, but he remembers the postgame comfort of Mary’s sweatered shoulder at their favorite parking spot. Mary? She’s seated across the stadium watching her son play for her former rival. But, yes, she remembers it, too. Someday, these kids – the ones out there tonight fighting for team, school and community on the 100-yard battlefield that has seen numerous such wars – will have similar memories of the blocks, the touchdowns, the dates. Someday, that’s all they’ll have. But tonight they tee it up for school and community – young, strong and determined. Tonight, we watch, remember and cheer like it was yesterday and we were just as young, just as strong, just as determined. Catch a high school football game soon. Have a Coke, a hot dog and remember what it was like not too long ago in your hometown. David Granger is a staff writer for the Alexander City Outlook.

How to

Know Your

Officials

Today’s

Integrity, a lesson in practicing what I preach

was in Orange Beach the latter half of last week speaking at a conference for the Alabama Association of Accessing Officials (AAAO.) You may know them better as “tax folks.” Integrity is essential to the foundation of the AAAO’s very existence. Per their website, the AAAO was formed to inculcate and stimulate a high degree of integrity and justice in the administration of tax laws in the State of Alabama. I provided 45 minutes of comedy following their lunch but also touched on several topics including purpose and integrity. Later in the day, many of the attendees gathered out back for a washer toss tournament, which was described as “just an old redneck game” by some. Fortunately, I was invited to compete in this tournament by my lifelong family friend Barry Ingram of Dadeville. I’d never played washer toss. In fact, I’d never heard of it. They said it was a lot like corn hole, although that’s another redneck game that I have yet to play. Come to think of it, I’ve never tipped a cow either. What kind of redneck am I? There were 16 teams of two competing in the doubleelimination tournament. I was paired with John, a vendor

JODY FULLER Columnist

from Chattanooga. John was skilled and had apparently thrown a washer or two in his life. He spent several years in the army, too, so we were a great team. The washers, standard round metallic washers, 2.5 inches in diameter, were to be thrown at a wooden box containing cups worth 1, 3, and 5 points, respectively. If the washer found its way into the cup, the team scored the points. The games were played to 11. John carried our team to our first victory. I was better by our second win, but John was still the man. We lost our third game, and I was certainly to blame. After that, I found my groove and helped carry us all the way to the championship game. We were up 6-5. It was my toss. From at least 10 feet away, my first toss of the round skipped right into the 5 cup. We were winners. All I had to do was throw the last two washers. At this point, the washer had to touch the top of the box or we would go back

to zero. I got careless, and my second throw failed to hit the top of the box. That was the only time that happened all day. I should’ve stretched. Our opponents asked if it touched the top, and I shook my head and slowly answered, “No. No, it didn’t.” One of our opponents, George Jones, yes, George Jones, extended his hand and said, “That’s that integrity you were talking about today.” George then skipped two of his next three washers into the 3 hole as he and “Tammy” cruised on to championship glory. Needless to say, George was hotter than a two-dollar pistol. Winning the championship that day was not in the cards for us, but some things are much more important than winning. The next night at the awards banquet, John and I were awarded $50 apiece for coming in second place. I had no idea there was a monetary prize. Hey, we wound up winning after all.

Horoscope

JACQUELINE BIGARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STARS ARIES (March 21-April 19) --You could be in a place where you feel oddly out of sorts with several people. The real issue is the unknown of how long it will take until you feel comfortable with this group again. Loosen up and relax as much as possible. Tonight: Make time for a one-on-one chat. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --You mean well, but someone else might not have the same intentions. Open up your baby blues to see what is happening. Ask important questions, but understand that you might be uncomfortable with the answers. Use care with anyone you meet today. Tonight: Out and about. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --You have received a sufÂżcient amount of Ă&#x20AC;ak in your life. Quite clearly, you might want to head in a different direction. For some reason, though, you could feel obligated or locked in. A friend will help you get through this maze. Tonight: Make it an early night. CANCER (June 21-July 22) --You might be in the mood to have fun, but you probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get into anything too crazy. A boss or higher-up could cast a shadow on that idea. Be realistic and deal with this person accordingly. There is always time for fun later. Tonight: Accept an invitation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --You have a strong inclination to preserve the status quo, especially today. Should you sense a setback in your plans, you could become frustrated and retreat. Many of your friends could be shocked by your immediate reaction. Tonight: By all means, entertain from home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --You could see a problem arise from out of the blue. How you deal with this matter will depend on your desires and objectives. Trust yourself to accept a little bump in a relationship and know how to keep it all together. Tonight: Go to a favorite haunt with a friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) --You have a tendency to overindulge. You could get upset with someone you really care about. You also might be in a situation where you have the ability to make an adjustment but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to. In any case, reach out for more information. Tonight: Play it easy. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21 --Your ability to get past an immediate issue will pay off. Others might struggle with the situation, but you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. In your mind, you have created your own boundaries. Cut loose if you feel the need to. Someone close to you might want your time. Tonight: Let it all hang out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) --Be wary of anyone you meet right now, as people might not be who they project themselves to be. Take your time getting to know someone better. You might want to slow down the pace, even if the other party has different ideas. Tonight: Give yourself permission to go out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --Meetings are important, as they could point to the direction you need to follow. You understand people far better than you realize. You have the ability to get them to work well as a group. Use that skill, and everyone inevitably will beneÂżt. Tonight: Take a walk. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) --You might want to reach out to a friend who can be distant. How you deal with this person will depend on your next interaction. You could place him or her in a less signiÂżcant role in your life without even intending to. Tonight: Meet up with some work friends. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) --You have a style that draws many people toward you. You might wonder what you need to do in order to gain the type of interaction you want. Do your best to be less vulnerable. Think carefully about a decision before you follow through on it. Tonight: Explore a new area.. PISCES(Feb.19-March20)

Muster

continued from page 1

Cliff Williams / The Outlook

Area elementary school students practice movements in formations with their muskets after joining the Tennessee militia this spring.

Camps will be on an open layout for visitors to freely move about and there will also be junior ranger programs for kids to become honorary park service rangers. Vester Marable, a park ranger at Horseshoe Bend said the event is not a reenactment but a com-

memoration of the large number of lives that were lost more than 200 years ago in the Creek War and in its conclusion at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. He explained that the event, called Muster on the Tallapoosa, is part of a larger effort to celebrate

the centennial for the parks service, which was founded in August of 1916. Marable has been with the National Park Service for over five years, but said this is his first time at the annual Muster on the Tallapoosa event. “I’m looking forward to seeing the different Creek Indian camps,” Marable said. He has trained on the musket and the canon, but what interests him most is the perspective on Creek Indian life. He said that Horseshoe Bend National Military Park, established in July of 1956, is the oldest of the seven national parks in Alabama and that throughout the next year there will be more events as part of a larger effort to bring attention parks throughout the US and its territories. The event is free of charge, but visitors will need to bring their food and drinks to either one of the two available picnic areas at the park. The park is located on Highway 49, between Dadeville and New Site.

the responsibilities related to payroll had been shifted and it was an oversight that got lost in the shuffle. The mistake was made when the city was going through the entire issue over pay increases that had not been approved by the city council. Shaw didn’t blame the mistake on that, but said it was nothing intentional and the city will not lose any money as a result. “Obviously, we had a lot going on at that time and it just got overlooked,” Shaw said. “It’s unfortunate, but mistakes happen. The city will recover the money and the issue has been corrected so that it shouldn’t happen again.

A single car accident on Highway 22 near New Site Thursday morning created some anxious moments as the driver of a gray BMW was trapped inside and couldn’t tell law enforcement exactly where she was. The car was located by officers, and despite striking and breaking a utility pole, the woman was not seriously injured. Investigators say that the woman lost control and the car spun and slid down an embankment about one mile from the town hall in New Site.

REBELS ROLL OVER TIGERS Reeltown opens 2015 season with 27-14 road win at Childersburg By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

CHILDERSBURG – It was a goal-line stand followed by a 99-yard touchdown run from running back Cody Martin that lifted the Class 2A No. 4 Reeltown Rebels to a season-opening 27-14 win over the Childersburg Tigers on Thursday night. The Tigers struck first on a 14-yard touchdown run from quarterback Tylan Coleman on the fake field goal to make it 6-0 after the failed 2-point conversion with 4:54 left in the first. Reeltown responded eight minutes into the second quarter on a two-yard dive up the middle by Martin and an extra point by Kiyaski Taylor giving the Rebels a 7-6 lead. On the very next drive the Tigers drove the ball all the way to the Rebels’ 1-yardline, but Reeltown stood tall and forced a turnover on downs with 4:15 left before the half. One play later, Martin raced up the Rebel sideline for the 99-yard score and gave Reeltown a 13-6 lead it would take into halftime and never relinquish. Reeltown quarterback Takoreyon Edwards added two touchdown passes – a 21-yarder to William Bell and a 41-yarder to Taylor. Childersburg’s final score of the game came on a 10-yard run by Coleman. Martin gained a total of 246 yards on 25 carries to go along with his two rushCliff Williams / The Outlook ing scores on the night.

REJOICE! High school football season has begun W

hat a great game and a wonderful way to kick off the 2015 high school football season last night, huh!? Actually, to be 100 percent honest, at the time of this writing I have no idea how Thursday night’s season opener between Reeltown and Childersburg went. That’s just how newspapers work. Still! I’m no less excited about the start of the regular season. For football in general it seems like just yesterday that the season finished with Pete Carroll’s Seahawks making one of the dumbest plays in the history of the sport.

ROBERT HUDSON Sports Editor

However, with high school football, it literally feels like the season ended eons ago. High school football will always hold a special place in my heart as a former player, but more as a fan. Yes, just about every player these days is playing with a dream to make it to the next

level, but high school football more than any other version of the sport is where the players are playing for the love of the game and pride. What I have always enjoyed about high school football is how important the teams are to their communities. Not every town can have a pro football team, nor can every town have a college football team, but almost every town across the United States has a local high school football team. The teams serve as a great source of unity for the communities they call home thanks to the family ties of players who

are a part of generations of family members who played at the same school before them. In a sense, the high school teams of many small towns are their pro team, they are their Alabama or Auburn. High school football fans in Tallapoosa County and the Lake Martin area are in for a truly exciting season. Benjamin Russell opens the season tonight with the usual high expectations, while Reeltown and rival Dadeville will begin the year with skyhigh hopes as both start the season ranked No. 4 in Class 2A and 4A respectively. Horseshoe Bend is looking

to return to the postseason and continue to increase its win total, while Central-Coosa will enter a new era under a new head coach in Barry Simmons. Not to mention this season will serve as the swansong for one of the state’s greatest coaches in Alabama Sports Hall of Famer Jackie O’Neal. From the position battles, the region matchups and good old-fashion rivalries, there is so much to look forward to in this season. But the time for talk is officially over. Let’s play some football.
