Witnesses reported that the man who had been inside the store got into a gold Pontiac Grand Am that was waiting outside the store with a driver behind the wheel. According to a release, the Richland Police Department and other area law enforcement authorities were dispatched to the area after being notified of the incident. According to a release from the Americus Office of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the Richland Police Department and other area law enforcement authorities were dispatched to the area after being notified of the incident.

The school bells rang Wednesday morning for about 3,000 students in the Tallapoosa County School system and Superintendent Joe Windle said it was “a smooth, easy opening day.” From James Aulner starting his first school day as principal at Horseshoe Bend, to kindergartners experiencing their first day at “real school” at Dadeville Elementary, to Reeltown students looking forward to another year with Jackie O’Neal leading the Rebels – Windle said it Cliff Williams / The Outlook was a great way to start the year.

For the second straight year, Tallapoosa County Revenue Commissioner Linda Harris said that a California-based company is sending mailers to local residents, new property owners in particular, asking for $83 for a service that her office handles for customers free of charge. While such services are not new, she said that many people who are first-time property owners may not know that there is no need to go through a service that charges a fee to get the information. Now she is trying to get the word out about all the services offered at the Revenue Commissioners Office. “We had several of our customers that have brought in the letter and asked us about it,” Harris said. “It’s money that they don’t need to spend. It’s a very official looking letter, and I’m afraid that some people may not read it carefully or completely and pay for this when we do it every day for free.” The mailing is from a company called Record Transfer Services. The letter comes complete with a response date, specific details of the property and what all the responder would get if they pay the fee and order the records. The mailing says those who order the information will receive copies of their deeds, and property assessments. The correspondence claims that responders will get a specially-generated See NOTICE, Page 3

Alexander City’s Tim Wellborn may be known as the Master of Mopar due to his love of Dodge Hemi Chargers, but Thursday he and his Musclecar Museum rolled out the red carpet for some Ford muscle. More than 90 of the nation’s hottest Saleen Ford Mustangs rolled into Alexander City just before lunch as part of the Saleen Club of America’s four-day 2015 Nationals. A line of cars more than a mile long, roared into the museum. All of the cars were equipped with the famed Saleen racing package, the high-performance
trademark established by legendary Steve Saleen. Wellborn welcomed them all to Alexander City. “I’m a Mopar guy, but I’ve owned a lot of Ford muscle over the years, too,” Wellborn said in welcoming the drivers. “We are so glad you are here and hope you enjoy what you see. You will find a Ford or two back there. We’ve taken the ropes down and want you to get up close. Enjoy them. All of these cars we drive them, just like you drive yours. It’s a museum, but cars are supposed to be driven. SO that’s what you will find here..” Wellborn even brought See MUSTANGS, Page 3
Saleen Mustang enthusiasts gather around the Ford GT 500 in the Welborn Musclecar Museum Thursday as almost 100 Mustangs passed through Alexander City while taking part in a Saleen Mustang National event.

The Outlook DEAR ABBY: My daughter is a lifeguard at a local pool. Caregivers, PLEASE take note: While she’s disciplining your child for dunking another, she cannot watch other children who might be struggling to catch a breath. You cannot possibly watch all the children you brought with you while you’re busy on your cellphone. Yes, lifeguards save lives. But if the lifeguard has to be a disciplinarian and a baby sitter as well as do her own job, she might not see the baby who fell into the pool while you were flirting with the sexy guy sitting near you. Having a lifeguard present does not excuse parents from taking care of their children. Do YOUR job and prevent a tragedy from happening. -VIGILANT IN NEW JERSEY DEAR VIGILANT: Thank you for reminding parents how important it is to watch their children at ALL times
DEAR ABBY Advice
when they’re near water. Too often we hear about the drowning death of a child because someone was distracted “for just a few moments.” I hope my readers will take to heart your important message. DEAR ABBY: I am a 50-year-old gay man, out of the closet for 10 years. Throughout my life I have had to deal with low self-esteem and other issues. When I came out, my life changed dramatically for the better. However, I have never been in any kind of relationship. I never had a girlfriend when I was trying to pass for straight,
nor have I ever had a boyfriend. Outside of immediate family, no one has ever said “I love you” to me. I’m the type of person who is instantly “friend-zoned.” As I get older, I’m feeling lonelier and lonelier. Friends tell me I’m better off, because lovers just break your heart. I’m willing to risk that for the opportunity to tell someone I love them and hear it in return, but at this point, I have no idea where to begin. I have tried dating, but nothing has ever progressed beyond a first date. I don’t know if there’s something about my personality that makes me undatable or what. Do you have any advice? -ALONE IN MISSOURI DEAR ALONE: I doubt there is anything wrong with your personality. That you have never been in a relationship may have left you a little rough around the edges when it comes to romance.
I’m a firm believer that the more exposure someone has, the better the chances of finding what you’re looking for. If you aren’t active with a gay and lesbian community center, go online to lgbtcenters. org and research some in your area. You have to be “out there” for Prince Charming to find you. Join talk groups, fundraising groups, sports activities, and look into online dating. While you shouldn’t go around with “Needy” tattooed on your forehead, let your friends -- gay and straight -- know you’d like to meet someone nice. Who knows? Maybe someone will have a brother -- or an uncle. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Our
Opinion
Make your opinions known
A
recent non-scientific poll conducted on The Outlook’s website showed that 70 percent of those who voted said they didn’t trust their government. Despite those big numbers, attendance at council meetings is very low unless there is a big issue on the agenda and voter turnout in the most recent election was at all all-time low. Get involved and make your opinion on issues known. We will even let you do that through the newspaper. What do you think about the way our city government is being run? How about gay marriage being made legal in the state of Alabama and the entire country? Or how about the idea of cutting Medicaid in hopes of helping balance the state’s budget? Do you have thoughts on how Tallapoosa County can attract more new businesses and industry that will provide jobs for our residents? Have you been on the receiving end of a good deed and would like to give credit where credit is due? Do you have a bone to pick with any of the stories in this newspaper? If you have something to say about any of these questions, then the answer is a letter to the editor or a guest column. This newspaper’s editorial page is an open forum for our community and we encourage you to write us and make your opinion known. It’s free. If you need help writing, our editors will be happy to help you craft a letter. Our rules are simple: no cussin’, no libel, no slander. Basically, if you’d say it around the dinner table with your grandmother, it’s probably acceptable as a letter to the editor. So let’s get the conversation started. What’s on your mind? Write us at editor@alexcityoutlook.com or Editor, The Alexander City Outlook, P.O. Box 999, Alexander City, AL 25011.

The
Cecil the Lion: Pride and prejudice
F
ull disclosure: I don’t hunt much. It’s not my thing. But I have friends who hunt birds. I understand at some level why they like it. Doves and ducks just seem to be asking for it. My friends call it a sport. It’s not a sport. A sport is where both sides know they are playing and also have high-powered rifles. Then it is a fair fight. The culture around big game hunting took a hit last week when social media, primarily on the left, terrorized Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer, DDSBag, for shooting Cecil the Lion. The hunter became the hunted. Twitter and Yelp now equate to the old days when a villain was taken to the town square and publicly whipped. Yet certain people, compensating for something, love to hunt and kill, even when animals are in quasi-captivity like Cecil the Lion. Not surprisingly, the often shirtless Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, likes to be seen killing exotic animals. He even killed a fish with a spear gun – and there was nothing the manager of the Moscow Red Lobster could do about it. Some U.S. politicians like President Teddy Roosevelt were also big game hunters. Bill Clinton was an accomplished beaver hunter in Arkansas. And Donald Trump presumably hunted or trapped whatever that thing is on his head. Publicly shaming this dentist serves a purpose. I get it, but his life has been ruined. We have long established in America that, even if you’re an ass, you still have rights. I believe this doctrine will again be upheld in the pending Supreme Court case of GOP Primary v. Donald Trump. For some reason, we
RON HART Columnist
Americans love lions – a lot. I place the blame squarely on Disney and the silky-smooth baritone voice of James Earl Jones. 600 lions of the estimated 32,000 left are killed each year for sport, 60 percent by Americans who ship the lions back home for trophies. Only 3 percent of the money they spend to do this goes to the local community. When something like this happens, guess who’s getting the most money. Governments! They collect the preponderance of the $50,000 a hunter pays to bag a lion. For anything this bad – and rigged – government must be involved. No one understands all the hunting laws in the USA; each state is different. In California, hunting or shooting is not allowed unless you are changing freeway lanes. In New Jersey, you can shoot bears, but local culture dictates that, before you kill the bear you must make it dig its own grave at gunpoint. In Texas, a Vice President can legally shoot a lawyer in the face. I love the South. Parts of the left tried to conflict the lion shooting to the issue of African-American men and police. Can a “Paws up, don’t shoot!” campaign be far away? President Obama happened to be in Africa when all this happened, burnishing his legacy and presumably hunting for his birth certificate. The left spent the week in
sanctimonious outrage over the lion killing. They are only about emotion, not logic or reason. Yet the same week, the story broke about their beloved Planned Parenthood selling body parts from aborted babies. Silence. Somehow killing babies on a mass scale is OK, but one lion killed is a national outrage. This is a Simba-otic juxtaposition I’ve never understood. A Muslim terrorist killed five unarmed service members in Chattanooga. ISIS is raping and killing in Iraq. In Texas alone, about 3,000 murders have been tied to illegal immigrants since 2008. These are not priorities for the left, but Cecil the Lion is. Now our government is going to ignore these important issues and focus instead on extraditing the dentist to Africa. Eric Holder will probably attend Cecil’s funeral. And if you wonder how extraditing a U.S. dentist to Zimbabwe over a legal hunt facilitated by its government works, it doesn’t. America’s own beloved Snoop Dog was arrested and held in Sweden on charges of smoking pot. Law enforcement first became suspicious of Snoop Dog in 1995. Let’s trade the dentist for Snoop Dog. What we have here is a dentist on a crazy weekend ending up with a lion, violence, confusing laws, foreigners and potential jail time – which I think is also the plot of “Hangover 3.” Ron Hart, a libertarian syndicated op-ed humorist, awardwinning author and TV/radio commentator can be reached at Ron@RonaldHart.com or visit www.RonaldHart.com

Letters to the Editor
Is everything religious considered offensive these days? Dear Editor, As I walk every morning around the perimeter by the middle school and the football field, I always admired a stately tree standing by itself at the east end of the field. Yesterday, Aug. 5, it was cut down. I wondered, why? Maybe, since it pointed toward Heaven and God it would be offensive to someone. That can’t happen, so it was cut
down. But, I shouldn’t be surprised. God is being cut down and cut out on a very regular basis these days. Reckon how long He is going to put up with us? Billy Waites Alex City
Reader: Does political correctness take precedent over a child Dear Editor, For several years, my church has made 18-inch cloth angel dolls, and given them away to children in crisis. They have been sent to children in other countries, to the child victims of Hurricane Katrina, an American Indian orphanage in the southwest, a child whose father committed suicide, children going into surgery and even our local DHR for children who have been abused. A social worker told me that the dolls helped them to open conversation with children. I was told that one boy who had been severely abused was given one and he sat there for some time just looking at it. Then he looked at the social worker and said, “I guess someone cares about me after all.” Now we are told
that we can no longer donate these angel dolls because of the separation of church and state, DHR said. I am appalled that “political correctness” would take precedent over caring for a child. It is just wrong. No matter what religion or one of no religion, how can you object to an object that would make the child feel loved? Now with the issue of the Confederate flag, where will it end? Self-imposed political correctness is giving into those who want to destroy this great country. Muslim Brotherhood in the White House? Google it. Kay Fincher Dadeville

Horoscope
JACQUELINE BIGARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STARS ARIES (March 21-April 19) --You will be more detail-oriented than you have been in a while. Try not to become too serious-minded. Know that the differences between you and someone else can be an asset. Maintain an upbeat attitude. Tonight: Treat a friend. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --You have a lot to do before you can really kick into weekend mode. Recognize that a loved one might be in a gloomy mood. The good news is that this period wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last long. Use it to reconnect on a different level. Tonight: All smiles. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --You will want to review a recent action that might not have gone the way you wanted. By pulling apart the matter with a trusted adviser, you will see what went wrong. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. CANCER (June 21-July 22) --Your friends often come to you for advice. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll discover how different people are and how their perspectives are also diverse. Learning to work with others quickly will evolve into a new skill. Tonight: Where your friends are. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --You could see a matter from a very different perspective than the majority of people. Maintain a sense of humor when dealing with an important person. Avoid someone who seems to carry a lot of baggage. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --You have a way of drawing others toward you. Your intellect mixed with your precision form an impressive combo. Know when to let down your barriers and add more humor and fun into a situation. Tonight: Go stargazing with a friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) --One-on-one relating allows you to be more Ă&#x20AC;exible and forthright. Listen to your inner voice when making a relationship decision.
Sometimes you put up barriers when they are not needed. Tonight: Enjoy the person you are with. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) --Allow yourself more Ă&#x20AC;exibility. You might feel the need to be in control; however, letting go might be the best way today. Let others believe that they are maintaining the reins of control. Tonight: Listen to someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoughts. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) --Your perspective improves, as does your ability to detach. You might be overwhelmed by how differently problems look after an important realization. Curb an innate urge to be negative. Tonight: Take off as soon as you can. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --You know what you would like to happen, but convincing another person to be party to this matter could be another issue entirely. Maintain a sense of humor. Avoid an unneeded quarrel. Tonight: Make the most of the weekend! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) --Others seem to dominate, and your voice nearly might be drowned out. Turn this situation into a positive one and take off for a weekend away. You have been carrying a heavy burden, and you need a break. Tonight: Make a must appearance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) --You have a lot to communicate, but you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to get past a problem. Touching base with someone at a distance might be difÂżcult. Remain optimistic, even when you hit an obstacle. Just head in a new direction. Tonight: Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes.â&#x20AC;?

Driver escapes injury in rollover accident
Cliff Williams / The Outlook
A Chevy Silverado pick up truck flipped over after trying to get back on the roadway on HIghway 63 South in Our Town. The truck veered off the road in the curve at Elkahatchee Road and travelled along the tree line before turning over Thursday afternoon. The driver was the only occupant and was uninjured.
Mustangs in Chef Tim Creehan from his Destin restaurant to prepare lunch for the crowd. Judging from the smiles, they weren’t disappointed by the food or the cars. Jay Rockna of the Saleen Club said being able to tour the museum with Wellborn is something all the members were looking forward to. “We have events planned for four days,” Rockna said. “From Barber Motorsports to Talladega for the museum and the track, there are a lot of things planned. We have a show and a banquet and track time. But all of the members seemed to really be looking forward to this.” Scott Gilleland of Newton, North Carolina arrived at the museum ahead of the others and was greeted by Wellborn who gave him a personal tour of the museum. Inside, he found the K&K Insurance 1969 Hemi Dodge that Bobby Isaac drove to the Winston Cup title in 1970.

“I didn’t know that was here,” Gilleland said. “He was a distant relative. I know just about every name on that back fender. They all live right around my hometown. This is an incredible place.” Cars with from Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, North Carolina and South Carolina filled the lots at Wellborn. Jeff Green from Chattanooga, Tennessee said that is the great thing about “car people.” “It’s a great group and we all love to talk cars,” Green said. “This is a great place and we were happy we got to see it.” Having big groups isn’t new for Wellborn, but this fall he expects another big event to unfold. On Oct. 22-25 the museum will host the Aero Warrior Reunion 2015, a reunion for hemi Dodge enthusiasts.

The message left was not returned Monday. “I would just hate for someone to be confused by what they are seeing and spend that money needlessly,” Harris said.
Windle said that he is seeing that same type of attitude across the system. “We feel like we have some great things happening,” Windle said. “I think our Teacher Institute set the tone. It was all about the difference one teacher can make in the life of a child. They all seemed to take that to heart and you saw that today.”

“Normally you have some little something, say a bus issue or something that doesn’t work,” Windle said. “But all indications are that everything went very smooth. I think that’s a testament to all of our administrators, teachers and staff. This may be the first day, but most of them have been working a lot during the summer to make this day so successful.” Exact numbers aren’t available, but Windle said it appears that the numbers may be up slightly this year.

SHUTDOWN CORNER
Location moved for BRHS football season ticket sales
All-State corner Hicks makes opponents pay for underestimating him
By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor
Benjamin Russell High School will make a slight change to the football seasonticket sales process for the 2015 season. As opposed to season tickets being sold from the Alexander City Schools central office as they were in previous seasons, season tickets will now be sold from the BRHS Gymnasium lobby once they go on sale Aug. 10. “We’re making a little change this year in that we’re moving the season-ticket sales from the central office over to the lobby of the gym at the high school,” said Benjamin Russell Athletic Director Pam Robinson. “We just want people to know where to go to look for the season tickets and when they’re going to be on sale. It’s all going to be at the high school this year.” Those who were seasonticket holders for the 2014 season will have the first opportunity to purchase tickets for 2015 on Aug. 10-14 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The cost for a reserved season ticket package, which includes all six home games, will be $54. Season parking passes can also be purchased during that time for $15. “The first day of school they’ll go on sale that week for previous season-ticket holders,” Robinson said. “Then anyone else wanting to purchase season tickets can get them the week before the first football game on Aug. 21.” On Monday, Aug. 17, remaining tickets will go on sale to the public. Previous season-ticket holders who do not plan to purchase season tickets for the 2015 season are asked to inform BRHS as soon as possible by calling 256-234-8611 or by emailing Pam Robinson at coachrob@alex.k12.al.us. Home game opponents for the 2015 season include B.C. Rain on Aug. 21, Central-Clay County on Aug. 28, Eufaula (Homecoming) on Sept. 11, Pell City on Sept. 18, Chelsea on Oct. 8, and Chilton County (Senior Night) on Oct. 23. All game start times are 7 p.m. Central Standard Time.

After landing on the All-State team in 2014, Dadeville senior cornerback Isaiah Hicks is hoping to repeat that performance in 2015 and lead the Tigers to even bigger things on the gridiron.
By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor
When opposing quarterbacks walk up to the line of scrimmage against Dadeville this season, they might notice the 5’7” Isaiah Hicks at the cornerback position and think that’s the guy they’re going to pick on all game long. And that’s exactly what Hicks wants. In 2014, Hicks made his opponents pay for underestimating him, as he finished second team All-State for Class 4A as a cornerback, totaling 40 tackles, four passes defended and three interceptions. “They underestimate me because I’m short and stuff,” Hicks said with a laugh. “But that’s why I work a lot on my jumping and stuff, so I can get my vertical up and compete with the taller receivers.” Not going after Hicks is a lesson opponents learned the hard way last season. While he may be one of the Tigers’ smallest players in stature, he is one of the biggest playmakers around. Along with his All-State performance last season at cornerback, Hicks returned a kickoff for a touchdown and caught 10 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns from the wide receiver spot. Hicks said it is the drive to win that helps him give his all on both sides of the ball.
“To play both ways, you’ve got to have determination, you’ve got to be in shape,” Hicks said. “So you have to put extra work in because you’re going to have to go both ways in the game until the game is over.” As one of the best cover corners in Class 4A, Hicks is confident in his abilities as a member of a talented secondary at Dadeville. TALE OF THE TAPE “I feel like I’m the No. 1 corner and the best corner out here,” Hicks said. “My game is like Vernon Hargreaves at Florida. That’s how I feel when I’m on the field. I feel like I can lock down on my side of the field.” And what pushes him to be his best is his family and the memory of his father. “What motivates me is my momma and my dad because he passed when I was 4,” Hicks said. “So, that’s what motivates me to go hard on the field and to just try and grind.” Entering his senior season, Hicks has taken on a bigger role as a leader for the Tigers. It’s a role he takes great pride in, and he hopes to help lead the Tigers to their biggest goal in 2015. “It’s great to step into a leadership role and to become a senior. I’ve just been a state championship, go 15-0. I want to working hard and getting some extra work try to be the leading receiver and leading in,” Hicks said. “I’m trying to help us win cornerback. I’m ready to go in this year.”

Tigers searching for linemen as fall practices open By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor
With the start of the 2015 season a few weeks away, the Dadeville Tigers have gotten back to work this week as they opened fall practices. Dadeville opened fall practices on Monday and were in shorts, helmets and shoulder pads on Wednesday. Coach Richard White said that while the energy has been fine in the first few days, he will not know for sure where the team is until they officially put on the pads later this week. “You can’t tell nothing out here in shorts and helmets. Everybody looks good,” White said. “We won’t be able to tell anything until we get those pads on and get after each other. That’s just the way it is. We’ve got to follow the rules and do what they tell us to do, so right now we’re doing our ‘thud’ stuff and trying to simulate everything we can as close to game speed as we can, but we have to stop and blow a quick whistle. But it’s coming along OK.” In the next couple of weeks leading up
to their fall jamboree at Russell County on Aug. 20, White said the Tigers will be searching intently for players who can fill the void on both lines. “We’ve worked a lot this summer and I think it’s coming all together as far as the learning process,” White said. “We’ve got to find out who is going to play on our entire offensive and defensive fronts. That will probably be a week or a week and a half before we determine that. That’s where the battle is going to be because we lost everybody.” White added that the Tigers will also be focusing on improving their conditioning, which will be especially important once the team begins practicing in full equipment. “We’ve still got to get in better condition. They did a lot of running this summer, but of course it changes when you put those pads on,” White said. “It also gets hotter out in the middle of the day. So, we’ll keep running them and also keep an eye on them and keep them hydrated, but by the time the season gets here, I think we’ll be OK.”
