City reports biz license scam Businesses pay website believing they have purchased a Alexander City business license By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

If you need a business license in Alexander City, don’t be fooled by any slick website into believing that you can obtain it online. City officials say one contractor trying to get a license in Alexander City paid more than $200 this week via a website, only to find out it wouldn’t get them an official city license. “We had a contractor in town who needed a license and we called their

home office in Montgomery and they said they had just taken care of it online,” said Ward Sellers, who handles business licenses and taxes for the city. “I was a little surprised and told her that we didn’t offer them online. She explained what she had done and I checked. “If you do a Google search for Alexander City Business Licenses, this is one of the sites that comes up. While they may offer some service,

they don’t have the authority to issue licenses here in the city.” The site that Sellers said this business believed would get them a license was www.businessnameusa.com. A check of the site shows tons of information. The company claims to help register your business name and claims to tell you all you need to become licensed. A call to a number found through

Sentell talks about current and upcoming promotional campaigns By Cliff Williams Outlook Staff Writer

Alabama Tourism Director Lee Sentell said it’s an exciting time to promote the things that draw people to visit the state. Speaking at Tuesday’s Alexander City Chamber of Commerce Quarterly Meeting, Sentell explained what’s happening with some of the campaigns that Alabama tourism has now and is planning with the state’s bicentennial coming up. “Horseshoe Bend has recently celebrated its bicentennial,” Sentell said. “That battle really lead to Alabama becoming a state with the population growth from that.” Sentell wants the history of the state to play a large role in the state’s bicentennial that will be celebrated in 2017, 2018 and 2019. “I would love to see every fourth-grade class in that three-year period put on a play About Alabama history, so that every child gets to have a speaking part,” Sentell said. “Every child gets to come to the microphone and explain their life as Booker T. Washington or Helen Keller or Joe Wheeler or who ever.” Sentell explained the importance of children learning state history. See TOURISM, Page 5

Lake property is one of the most valuable commodities among all real estate, with recent figures showing that sellers are getting 96 percent of their asking price.

Sagging pants, droopy drawers, pants on the ground or just plain, out slacking. Call it what you want, but the urban fashion trend where male trousers are worn below the hips, exposing underwear or more, may soon be illegal in Dadeville. Dadeville Councilman Frank Goodman said Tuesday night that he hopes the council will be able to find a way to legally address the wearing of sagging pants. “It is getting bad around here,” Goodman said. “I am ashamed to see all the sagging pants around here.” Goodman and other council members are working with town attorney Robin Reynolds to draft an ordinance on sagging pants. “We are going to see if we can do something about all the kids walking around with saggy pants,” Goodman said.

The Outlook

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been married 22 years, and we had a good marriage until recently. Over the last three years she has become more and more consumed with her phone and tablet. She goes nowhere and does nothing without them. Every night and weekend she sits engrossed in both devices until well after I have gone to bed. If I ask what she’s doing or who she’s texting, she accuses me of being controlling and not trusting her. We can’t watch a movie, eat a meal (out or at home) or anything else without her constantly tending to at least one of her devices. She says she can multitask and I shouldn’t be concerned, but it has greatly diminished our relationship. I feel like when we’re together, I am really alone. If that isn’t enough, I have seen her communications with other men, sometimes intimate, late at night. When I ask about them, she throws the same

DEAR ABBY Advice

labels at me. What should I do? -- ONLY HUMAN IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR ONLY HUMAN: What you should do is tell your wife you have seen the intimate late-night conversations she has been having with other men, and that you feel she has abandoned you. Do not let her accuse you of being controlling or untrusting. You have done nothing wrong. If she is willing to come clean and deal with the problems in your marriage, which go beyond her addiction to electronic devices, you should agree to marriage counseling. If she’s not, you will then have to weigh whether this kind of marriage is enough for you,

DEAR ABBY: I quit school in the 1970s and joined the service. I got my GED and I’m friends with a lot of the people I went to high school with. They constantly ask me to attend their high school reunion. My problem is, I didn’t graduate with my class and don’t know if I should go. I don’t want to feel awkward, but I’d love to see the classmates from that part of my life. What is protocol on this? -- UNSURE IN ATHENS, OHIO DEAR UNSURE: Go to the reunion! I’m sure your former classmates will be as glad to see you as you will be to see them. It’s not as if this is a state dinner; it’s only a high school reunion, for heaven’s sake.

because it certainly wouldn’t be for many men. DEAR ABBY: I’m in ninth grade and my birthday is coming up. I invited a group of friends to go out and eat dinner at a nice restaurant, assuming everyone would pay for their own meal. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Some of them said they expect me to pay. Others think I’d be crazy if I did that and even insisted on paying for mine. If I pay for everyone to eat at a restaurant, it’s going to be pricy and my parents will be upset. I can’t uninvite anyone, and it’s not like I can take them to a cheap fast food place. What do you think I should do? -- SAD BIRTHDAY GIRL DEAR SAD BIRTHDAY GIRL: I think you should contact your prospective guests and start the conversation by saying, “Let me CLARIFY ...” That way, anyone who wants to will be able to back out and there will be no misunderstandings. The lesson here is to never assume.

Cat and cars don’t mix: The Return Trip

Tuggle has A served us well

ere at The Outlook, we have done our share of criticizing our legislators, particularly this year. Still, there are times when kudos are due. This is one of those times. Mark Tuggle has provided admirable service for the folks of House District 81. While we have not always agreed with his positions, he has, more often than not, articulated and justified them well. He represents a conservative district and has stuck to his conservative principles. But his announcement yesterday at the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce’s quarterly luncheon may have been his most admirable move yet. Tuggle announced that he would not seek re-election as the representative for District 81. Basically, he self-imposed a term limit of eight years. Tuggle did not offer up his plans for the future yesterday, but he didn’t close the door on another elected office. As political candidates go, we have seen far worse options on ballots, be it in local or statewide elections. Tuggle is young and intelligent and will likely do well in whatever future he chooses. Certainly, a future in politics would necessitate further neglect of “some other part” of his life, which he cited yesterday among his reasons for stepping aside in the House of Representatives. But it wouldn’t surprise us to see him run for a statewide office or the state Senate. Who knows where his sights might ultimately be set? He’s still a young man, so there is time to climb a political ladder. On the other hand, Tuggle is a forester by profession and may return to that job. Without doubt, the piney woods of Tallapoosa County and surrounding area are far more peaceful than the governmental halls of Montgomery. And who might run to fill Tuggle’s House seat? That’s an editorial for another today. For today, suffice it to say that we appreciate Tuggle’s service to District 81 and his adherence to his principles and wish him well – whatever his future may hold.

Outlook The

few months ago, I acquired Abby, a cat. I’m a dog person, but that doesn’t mean that I am anti-cat. I simply prefer dogs. Ruby, my chocolate lab, loves to take rides in the car. In fact, every time I pick up my keys, she jumps up and down like a Mexican jumping bean. Abby, alternatively, is not very fond of modern transportation. She prefers staying put so she can plot. What is she plotting? I’m not sure—only she knows. Last month, I wrote about driving her from Opelika to Still Waters on beautiful Lake Martin. Well, what goes up must come down, so I recently had to drive her back to my home in beautiful Opelika. I honestly didn’t think it was possible for it to be worse than our maiden voyage. Boy, was I wrong! I thought I was prepared for the return trip. That’s what made it worse. This time, I was driving an SUV. Not only did I place the carrier in the rear of the vehicle but I also covered it with a sheet. Additionally, I had a wall of clothes hanging from the bar directly behind me, which should have doubled as a sound barrier.

JODY FULLER Columnist

Abby would not stop meowing. It sounded like an ambulance — a giant cat ambulance that wouldn’t stop. It was more annoying than Fran Drescher on laughing gas. I almost dropped her off at the Dollar General in Camp Hill. I’m not sure if she was frothing at the mouth or not, but she probably was. I turned down the radio to whisper sweet nothings to her from afar. I figured that would help ease her stress, but it didn’t. There was nothing sweet about it. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. She was too busy meowing to listen. I rolled down the window and turned the radio up as loud as I could stand it. As my luck would have it, Taylor Swift was singing at the top of her lungs, so I turned the radio off and listened to the cat the rest of the way home. Why I gotta be so mean? Shake it off. Shake, shake, shake it off. I would have dropped her

off at The Bottle on 280, but it burned down in 1936. Ultimately, we made it home, and besides her constant plotting, she’s been a very good cat. Over the years, I had three tours in Iraq totaling almost three full years, and I’m fine. On the other hand, I currently have two tours in a car with a cat totaling almost one full hour, and just the thought of a third tour with said cat, or any cat for that matter, makes me want to overdose on catnip or Klondikes. Either way, she will never see the inside of a vehicle I’m driving ever again, but I’ll be sure to take good care of her. God put her in my life for a reason. He does things such as this from time to time to see how we treat His creations. In my mind, it’s just a test—a simple one at that. I’m just glad He didn’t test me with a Bama fan. I might have been the one frothing at the mouth.

Mission

GOP candidates: From bad to very bad

plead with all the writers, journalists, pundits, posters, commenters and tweeters of the nation: Please stop calling the Republican field a clown car. It was funny and imageprovoking the first hundred times I read it. Now it’s the quip that won’t die. Also, in fairness, it’s an insult to clowns. While I’m not exactly a fan of oversized footwear and white face, clowns at least have a whimsical premise. The GOP’s presidential hopefuls are cruel, dismissive and— I’ll say it—mean. They’re bad. Bad on science, bad on basic civics, bad on foreign policy and bad on economics. And they’ve already managed this election cycle to be (yet again) bad on rape. How can one be on the wrong side of rape? Shocking, I know. Mike Huckabee thinks a 10-year-old rape victim should not be allowed to get an abortion. Why would anyone want more rapists having babies and more 10-year-olds being mothers? See? Just bad. They’re bad on science. Not just the Creationist with an iPhone Paradox variety either. But science denial. “I’m not a scientist,” yipped Marco Rubio when asked a question about climate change, the fundamental national security issue of our time. He’s not a scientist? I’m not an engineer, but I can at least I know I’m qualified to say bridges exist. Scott Walker this week told reporters his bald spot is because he hit his head on a sink a few years ago. Male pattern baldness—probably one of the most ubiquitous and common afflictions in the history of the human experience (second only to death) and Walker has his own weird lie he tells reporters about it. What’s next? Discussion about baby delivery hours for storks? That’s how bad the GOP field is on basic

TINA DUPUY Guest Columnist

biology—they can’t even admit balding is real. Ben Carson, who is a doctor and therefore kind of a scientist, is actually just really bad on civics. He and the other doctor (cough) in the field don’t understand what the Constitution actually does besides pepper their boilerplate. In an interview with Chris Wallace, Carson said: “The way our Constitution is set up, the president or the executive branch is obligated to carry out the laws of the land. The laws of the land, according to our Constitution, are provided by the legislative branch. The laws of the land are not provided by the judiciary.” Yeah, that’s not actually right. And, of course, Paul famously said, “Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be ‘constitutional’ does not make it so.” Uh. Yeah, it does. That’s in fact how that works. The one woman—actually a businesswoman—who’s never held public office but not for lack of trying, Carly Fiorina, when asked how she’d rein in the power of the Chamber of Commerce, mistakenly assumed it was a government agency (it’s not) and proclaimed it was too big. The Chamber is—wait for it—a private organization for the betterment of business. And she’s the failed former CEO of HewlettPackard. See? Bad! Jeb Bush, who even with two former presidents fundraising for him and universal name recognition is still polling near the margin of error in Iowa hits most of the lowlights in

his party. He thinks half a billion dollars a year on women’s health care is just too much. This is the guy whose last major decision about a woman’s health care was for Terri Schaivo. He used the power of the government to keep a brain dead woman alive against her wishes and those of her significant other. He’s bad on science, bad on public policy and bad on simple human decency. Speaking of human decency, Mexicans deserve it. Even undocumented ones. The GOP needs to stop using Mexican immigrants to get angry white people to vote for them. Angry white people will already vote for them. This election cycle kicked off with (still) front-runner Donald Trump saying the Mexican government is sending all their rapists here. These are human beings who are deeply ingrained in our economy, history and culture. The situation at the border is a humanitarian crisis, not a tee-ball to score cheap political points. On foreign policy the entire lot seems to just say, “I support Israel” to get an applause line and go back to bashing poor people. Bush wants to send more troops into Iraq (a sentence I just cut and pasted from 2007). The others think saber rattling over Iran is sage because it gets them attention. These are not clowns. Clowns are harmless (and a little creepy). These are people who should never have any real political power. These are your drunken uncle’s Thanksgiving dinner diatribes now charading as a major policy discussions. This is bad.

Tourism

continued from page 1

“Kids need to know our history,” Sentell said. “It teaches you what makes you different from other people in other states. We have an amazing history in Alabama. When you look back at the major events that have taken place in the United States in the last 300 years, so much started in Alabama. The Creek Indian War, The Civil War and Civil Rights. It is something every child needs to know.” Sentell said that his office would work with the Chambers, MainStreets and city halls to make the bicentennial celebration a statewide effort. Sentell enlightened the crowd about the current campaign. “Today we are celebrating the year of Alabama barbecue,” Sentell said. “We have a documentary about Alabama barbecue pitmasters. Alabama has a higher percentage of restaurants that are barbecue than any other state.” Sentell joked when explaining how they are challenging anyone but Alabama to claim anybody but Alabama has the best BBQ. “We had a promotion at Memphis in May,” Sentell explained. “We had a big tent on Beale Street with a huge billboard above us that said, ‘Congratulations Memphis, you have the second best BBQ in America.’ By the end of the first day, someone had taken a box cutter to it and slashed it. I though it was hilarious and said don’t repair it.” Sentell said the promotion will continue in New Orleans and Kansas City. “We are letting everyone know that we have put a stake in the ground that Alabama has the best

BBQ.” The tourism director explained that next year’s campaign figures to highlight Alexander City. “I have been waiting five years to do a campaign made in Alabama,” Sentell said. “Last year Tennessee came out with that, so I am not going to have people say we copied them. We are changing to the Year of Alabama Makers.” The director explained it will feature the people and business in Alabama that make things. “We are highlighting anyone from the Gee’s Bend Quilters to Mercedes Benz,” Sentell said. “I think Robinson Iron will get a nice shout out in that campaign. They are such a unique company doing great work world wide that most are not aware of.” Sentell said he has a lot of special feelings for the local area. “I think of this area often,” Sentell said. “Because of a speaker gift that I received here from this same group, a small wooden box. I use that box to keep my family DVDs in.” Sentell might have been joking about the box but went on to explain he has ties to the area. “My dad was born in Goldville,” Sentell said. “The first funeral I went to as a child was in New Site. I am from just north of here in Clay County.” Sentell explained that he likes to travel through the area. “Whenever I have the chance, I like to drive through here and see this beautiful place,” Sentell said. “Y’all have take care of what God has given y’all. You are so blessed to live where your do because most do not have what you have.”

Pants Other members of the council seem open to the idea. “It has been all over the news for awhile now.” Council member Randy Foster said. “Several cities have passed ordinances on it.” Georgia cities including Albany, Hampton and Hahira as well as Ocala, Florida and the Jefferson Davis Parish in Louisiana all have ordinances banning that look on the books. The fines for a violation range between $25 and $500 in those areas. In 2012, Alabama County Circuit 19 Judge John Bush sentenced a 20-year-old Autauga County man to three days in jail for appearing in court with sagging blue jeans that exposed his underwear, telling him, “You are in contempt of court because you showed your butt in court.” The Tallapoosa County Schools already addresses the issue by saying that all clothing as intended by the manufacturer,” the code

says. “Boys’ pants and/ or blue jeans of a solid color shall be worn at the natural waistline. A properly fastened belt with shirt tucked in is required for all boys.” Reynolds hopes to have a draft of an ordinance on the matter at the next council meeting. Mayor Joe Smith presented the annual audit to the council. Council member Randy Foster said the audit performed by Ben Vance found nothing wrong with the town’s finances but it did warn, like last year, to be careful with expenditures. The council voted to allow the Dadeville Area Chamber of Commerce to move into the Wilder Building on Lafayette Street. The council has to approve all tenants of the building since it is not zoned for commercial business and falls into a variance. Robin Reynolds informed the council that he is waiting on the attorney general’s opinion so the council can determine how to

transfer the Community Action Building to the agency. Reynolds also told the council that there should be no problems transferring the property behind Subway to the county for the new DHR building. He informed them that no deed could be found so he is waiting on an abstract so that the transfer could be set up for the council to approve. n agreed to repair the side of the road near apartments near the Dadeville High School Football stadium.  approved the installation of a new sign on Highway 280 on the east side of town. The last sign was damaged by the 2011 tornado.

 approved minutes from the last meeting.  approved recreation center rentals.  tabled appointments to the mental health board and the planning and zoning board.  tabled a one-time increase to retirees until more information could be obtained from the Retirement Systems of Alabama.  tabled discussion on building codes and mobile home rules until building inspector Michael Richardson could be at a council meeting. The next meeting of the Dadeville City Council is Sept. 8 at 5 p.m.

Horoscope

JACQUELINE BIGARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STARS ARIES (March 21-April 19) --You might have gone to bed knowing that endurance and hard work would be on the menu today. You quickly will discover that networking mixed with your original ideas is a recipe for success. Add some extra zest to the mix. Tonight: Take a stand when making plans. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --You might question whether you have done enough background work as you forge ahead on a major project. Unfortunately, you might not be able to backtrack. Choose to follow your instincts. Others trust your judgment, so why shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you? Tonight: Plan on a late bedtime. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --You will need to understand what has happened behind the scenes before you jump to any conclusions. A situation doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the implications you might think it does. Try not to exclude a possibility that you have not yet considered. Tonight: Try a new type of cuisine. CANCER (June 21-July 22) --You might want to consider several options that you have discounted in the past. When you revisit these ideas, you could be surprised by how workable one is. If you like it, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to make this concept a reality. Tonight: Listen to a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ideas. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --You might be in a situation where you want to say a lot, but you are not the lead person. Note how this person handles others; he or she could have a totally different way of doing things. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry -- your time will come. Tonight: Go off and start planning your weekend. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --Listen to news more carefully, and understand your role in getting a project done. Meanwhile, take some time to schedule an important appointment for yourself. In this period of high energy, you

need to take good care of yourself. Tonight: Let the party begin. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) --You could be delighted by something unexpected that takes place. If you are single, someone will catch your eye. Be aware that this person might not be everything he or she seems to be. Time is your ally. Tonight: Make the most of the moment. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) --You will be able to avoid a touchy, difÂżcult situation by lying low, which is something you tend to do well. Make it OK to have what you consider to be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;trivial conversation.â&#x20AC;? The wise Scorpio will keep any opinions to him- or herself. Tonight: Make a favorite meal. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) --You will Âżnd the right words for any situation. However, someone is likely to keep bothering you for more information or your opinion, and before you know it, you will be dragging. Touch base with a loved one early in the day. Tonight: Hang out at home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --You seem to be all smiles, yet there is a topic you are not discussing. You could be on the verge of doing something very out of character for you. Although you might not want to share now, you might later. Use caution in choosing your words. Tonight: Your treat. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) --You are on Âżre. You have a lot on your mind, yet somehow you will be capable of covering all your bases. You could be feeling a bit awkward dealing with a particular person. This new element of discomfort might surprise you. Tonight: In the whirlwind of the moment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) --You might be exhausted by everything going on around you. Question your choices, and know that you could break this pattern. In fact, what is stopping you? Be willing to change what is no longer working for you. Tonight: In the limelight.t to

list/sales price ratio is usually the quickest indicator and, looking at that, right now, I’d say we’re in a stable market.” Arnberg did indicate, however, that the trend for lake properties is toward a seller’s market. He cited a shrinking inventory, a rising sales to list ratio and increases in both the average and mean sales prices. “What’s driving everything is a low inventory of lakefront residential properties,” said Arnberg. “For the year ending in April, we were looking at a 15.1 month supply of residential lakefront properties on Lake Martin. That’s the time that we calculate that it would take to sell through those properties. For the year ending in June, that number had dropped to 13.66 months and at the end of July it was at 13.13 months. “I would term that a healthy market. We have seen a number as high as 55 months (June 2008).” Arnberg added that at the end of April sellers were getting an average of 92.7 percent of their asked price for their residential properties on the lake. That average rose to 94.9 percent in June and 96 percent in July. Michael Langston of Lake Homes Realty said, while the inventory of lakefront residentials is down, new construction is taking place at a rate higher than he has seen in some time. “I think we’ll see the sales prices go up a little bit,” Langston said, “but there is more new construction underway than I’ve seen in 10 years. Of course, that will result in more inventory.” Average sales prices for residential lakefront properties rose 16.8 percent from $419,977 at the end of July 2014 to $490,500 at the end of July of this year, Arnberg added. He also said the mean sales price (the price at which half the properties sold for more and half for less) rose 14 percent from $335,000 to $382,000 over the same period and that the dollar value of properties sold rose 27.1 percent. Arnberg said the current economic unknowns relative to lower stocks and problematic foreign currencies should not impact the sale of properties on the lake. “The stock market is the stock market. It’s not the economy,” Arnberg said. “Many people are looking at real estate as on of the undergirdings of strength in our economy. “Since the markets bottomed out a few years ago, the real estate industry has had to deal with increased banking regulations, decreased financing options and no new construction. This current economy seems is a bump in the road compared to what we’ve been through.” Arnberg added that most of the abundant new construction on the lake is not speculative, but instead being built for immediate use. “Banks have been very cautious about running speculative money in new construction,” Arnberg said. “These are instances of real people building homes for real use.”

an online chat on the site found that after five questions, the representative, who would only identify herself as Lola, admitted that she could not actually get a business a license in Alexander City. “We will send you everything you need and email you instructions,” Lola said. “But as you said, we don’t issue an actual business license in the city there – Alexander City, Alabama.” Sellers said it’s hard to know for sure if others have fallen victim to this site. “We have no idea if others have done the same thing,” Sellers said. “If you

read it, it does sound like you are getting a license. But most people who would do this are likely in a hurry and just filling out online forms. They aren’t actually talking to anyone.” Sellers said that currently businesses can download a license application from the city website. But can only file them in person or by mail. “If there is any doubt just call us,” Sellers said. “I can be reached at 256329-6720. I will be glad to answer any questions you may have. I just would hate for anyone else to spend money that they don’t need to be spending. In this case, the business is out $220.”

his regular patrol to stake out a mini-storage business. Reports indicated that Lashley observed the men entering a unit. In the burglaries, the locks on a number of the units had been cut or ground off. Once the suspects gained entry, they took items from the units. A search of a residence found items that had been reported stolen from several of the burglaries. Reports indicated a wide variety of items were stolen ranging from Beanie Babies to sterling silver. Fuller was also suspected of other similar burglaries in Coosa County. Fuller made a $341,000 bond on the charges and was released Wednesday. Edge is in state prison and was indicted on 47 criminal charges.

Generals open season tonight at rival Bulldogs By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

The Horseshoe Bend Generals are set to open the regular season tonight against a very familiar opponent. The Generals will take a short drive to face the rival Wadley Bulldogs tonight with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday’s game will mark the 24th all-time meeting between the two, with Wadley holding a narrow 12-11 series lead. Jason Franklin, head coach of Horseshoe Bend, said he is expecting another battle against the Bulldogs, as the last two meetings were decided by a combined six points, including last season’s 22-20 win by Wadley. “We’re expecting a hard-fought ball game. It’s a big rivalry game for us and one of our, if not our biggest, rivals in Wadley,” Franklin said. “It’s only about 10 or 15 miles up the road. We’re expecting a large crowd from both sides tomorrow (Thursday) night. Last year came down to the last few minutes, and we’re expecting that kind of battle again.” Just like the Generals, the Bulldogs are a run-first team that will look to pound the ball on the ground. “They’re more of a run-dominant team. They’re going to run the double–wing and option game, so we’ve been preparing for that all week,” Franklin said. “We’ve been working to stop the option. They’ve got a couple of good skill guys, so we’ve been focusing on locating those guys each play and making sure we play physical on defense and making sure we tackle better than we did in the jamboree.” Along with playing assignment football on defense, Franklin said the Generals’ offense will have to finish off drives when they get in the red-zone. “We’ve got to finish drives. We had a couple of drives the other night where we didn’t finish them with a score even though we were in great scoring position,” Franklin said. “We also can’t turn the football over. The team that doesn’t turn the ball over, that can force some turnovers and cash in on red-zone opportunities usually has a good shot to win the ball game.” And as for the emotions heading into what has been a tight rivalry, Franklin said the Generals will be ready to face the Bulldogs tonight. “I think they’ll be fine. Most of our guys who will be out there, this won’t be their first game, which is a good thing,” Franklin said. “They’ve been in the Wadley game before, most of these kids, and they’ve been around the school and know the importance of this ball game. Like I told them, have no limits when you go out there and leave it all on the field and good things will happen.”

A Dadeville Lady Tiger recently returned from the Lone Star State after a week of competition on the big stage. Dadeville senior shortstop/ pitcher Kristen Tolbert competed in Major League Baseball’s RBI Softball World Series held Aug. 3-9 around the Dallas Metroplex. Tolbert was a member of the Alabama River Region team that was one of eight teams to advance to the World Series out of more than 200 RBI teams around the U.S. Krystle Wilson-Lawson, Kristen’s pitching coach and head coach of the River Region team, said Kristen was a key member of a successful run this summer. “I’m so happy that Kristen joined our team this summer. She is a strong key player, always has a positive attitude and always goes the extra mile putting in work to make herself a better athlete,” Wilson-Lawson said. “She has a bright future in the game of softball. I’m happy her father came along coaching this summer as well as his knowledge in the game of softball helped our program this year get to as far as we did. “Winning the Southeast championship was amazing and just being able to play in the World Series and the experience are memories that will last a lifetime.” The River Region team finished third overall in the World Series. Kristen was a key contributor in the team’s 2-1 win over the City of Hoboken (NJ) RBI. River Region RBI jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first on a solo blast by catcher Sharde Thomas. They took the lead in the sixth inning thanks to a leadoff walk by Kristen, who eventually came around to score the winning run on a Hoboken error. Along with visiting the Texas Rangers’ Globe Life Stadium, the George Bush Presidential Library and meeting many different dignitaries, Kristen said she will always remember the people she met during the World Series event. “I’ll always remember getting to meet new people from around the world,” Kristen said. “We met Jackie Robinson’s daughter and Nancy Lieberman with the Sacramento Kings.” Kristen’s father, Chris, said the summer was a great experience for Kristen. “We came up on the RBI program and didn’t know anything about it. So, she got involved in it and it turned out that the experiences that she got from it were very rewarding,” Chris said. “She ended up having a great summer pitching, fielding and at the plate, along with meeting some great girls.” Chris said the experience was once-in-a-lifetime for the players, which is a part of the RBI

(Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) Program’s mission. “That’s kind of the goal and philosophy of RBI is to give these girls a chance to do something that they probably wouldn’t ever get to do otherwise,” Chris said. “They were basically treated like royalty the whole time. As a dad, it made me proud to see her get to experience something like that, and it’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing.” Kristen added that the experi-

ence will help her to be a better player and person in her senior season. “We got to meet new friends and people from all of the different teams, and we played bigger and tougher teams,” Kristen said. “It helped me with my pitching, it helped me get better. It went well and helped me with my self-confidence, and it’s going to help me be a better player and person during my high school season.”

With another Top-10 start, can the Tigers finish there?

ot since Pat Dye was head coach and Ronald Reagan was president have the Auburn Tigers been given a preseason Associated Press Top 10 spot and actually finished there. The year was 1989. Reggie Slack was quarterback, Alexander Wright was the speedy wide receiver and Alabama came to Jordan-Hare Stadium for the “First Time Ever.” The Tigers began that season ranked eighth, and finished sixth. Since then, when Auburn is predicted by sports media to compete for a national title, it flops – often badly. And when the Tigers are shunned in the preseason poll, Auburn often roars. It’s funny how the ball bounces sometimes. The Tigers find themselves sixth in this season’s preseason AP Top 25. Uh-oh, right? How has Auburn performed with a No. 6 preseason ranking? Let’s see …

JOE MCADORY Sports Columnist

Auburn opened last season No. 6 and finished No. 22, but the preseason hype made sense. The Tigers were coming off of a BCS Championship Game appearance and an SEC championship. Several key performers were returning on offense, which carried the team in 2013. After a win at Ole Miss, Auburn was in position with just one defeat to compete for the SEC Championship. But a complete defensive collapse down the stretch spelled doom. Perhaps the most over-hyped Auburn team in history was the 2003 bunch. The roster was lit-

tered with superstars. Carnell Williams, Ronnie Brown and massive Brandon Jacobs are arguably the most impressive group of running backs I’ve seen on a Tiger roster. Jason Campbell was a steady quarterback, and receivers Devin Aromashodu and Ben Obomanu were some of the best in the conference. All of the above had NFL careers. So did defenders Jay Ratliff, Karlos Dansby, and Dontarrious Thomas. What could go wrong? Everything. The preseason No. 6 Tigers were thrashed in the season-opener by Southern Cal, then embarrassed in downtown Atlanta by Georgia Tech. Season over. Many of these stars returned in 2004. That worked out nicely. Auburn lost just once in Terry Bowden’s first two seasons as head coach and returned a loaded team – including running back Stephen Davis – for

1995. Ranking the Tigers No. 6 to kick off the season made sense. All three defeats in the regular season were respectable. LSU beat Auburn 12-10 in Baton Rouge, Florida won 49-38 in a fun shootout at Jordan-Hare Stadium and Arkansas held off a furious Tiger rally to win 30-28 in Little Rock (Yes, Little Rock, not Fayetteville). The Tigers beat Georgia and Alabama and were just 15 total points from being unbeaten. Then Tampa happened. Penn State completely demolished the Auburn defense in a very easy 43-14 Outback Bowl victory. I remember heavy rain, mud, and a mysterious pass-happy Auburn approach to the conditions. The Tigers finished 22nd in the final poll. The first time Auburn entered the season ranked sixth (1971) can’t be considered as a failure, however. Sure, the Tigers fin-

ished outside the Top 10 at season’s end (12th), but quarterback Pat Sullivan won the Heisman Trophy and the Tigers lost only two games the whole year. They just happened to be the last two games. Alabama trounced then fifth-ranked Auburn at Legion Field, 31-7, before Big 8 runner-up Oklahoma drummed the Tigers, 40-22, in the Sugar Bowl. A Heisman Trophy, two-loss season, Sugar Bowl bid, and win at Georgia … I’d say that was pretty good. That brings us to 2015 and Auburn’s fifth time as the preseason No. 6. The talent is there. The schedule is difficult. Joe McAdory is former Sports Editor at the Opelika-Auburn News and is Communications Editor at Auburn University’s Raymond J. Harbert College of Business.
