Tallapoosa Street paving to start Monday By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

A summer that has been filled with paving projects will see yet another one beginning bright and early Monday morning. The Alabama Department of Transportation will start a statefunded paving project that will include on Madison Street, as well as Tallapoosa Street to Mount Airy

Bridge. “This is an ALDOT project, but we just wanted to let everyone know that it’s coming,” Alexander City Public Works Director and City Engineer Gerard Brewer said. “There may be some delays. So like with all of the projects we have had, if you can avoid the area – that’s a good idea. Or, if you can find an alternate route, you may want to

use it.” Gary Ingram Grading and Paving of Dadeville will be doing the work. The project is expected to last at least a week. The state has also been using Ingram to pave Highway 63 from the Elmore County line to U.S. Cliff Williams / The Outlook Highway 280. That project is ongoing and has reached the Our Town The state is set to start paving Tallapoosa Street from See PAVING, Page 2 downtown to Mt. Airy Bridge Monday.

Horseshoe Bend’s Karen Coleman, center, poses with instructors from the National Holocaust Museum after completing the 19th Annual Arthur and Rochelle Belfer National Conference in July.

Teaching the Holocaust

Horseshoe Bend teacher, Karen Coleman travels to D.C. to train “It was a life-changing experience for me,” Coleman said. “It was three days of classes from daylight to dark. The focus was how to present the events surrounding the Holocaust to students of various age groups. Sixth grade is where we teach that period and I can tell you that, from what I was able to experience, when we get to that unit this season, I know it will be a vastly different lesson with a whole new impact than what we have had in the past. “That’s how valuable the experience was to me.” As an example, she said that teachers often struggle with how much detail to share with students. The graphic images from that horrific time can overpower younger students. Coleman said the training gave them several options that will deliver a powerful message without creating addition problems for kids. “One thing that comes to mind is how do you See HOLOCAUST, Page 3

hile most of her students were thinking about vacation destinations and which swimming hole they could get to next, one Horseshoe Bend sixth-grade teacher was experiencing a “life-changing” experience that will help her present an important lesson this school year. Alexander City’s Karen Coleman, who teaches at Horseshoe Bend, applied for and received a scholarship to receive specialized training at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. There, she and about 200 other teachers attended the 19th annual Arthur and Rochelle Belfer National Conference for Educators, a three-day workshop that aims to equip educators throughout the country with the knowledge and skills to effectively bring Holocaust education into their classrooms.

The big yellow buses will be back on the road in Alexander City bright and early Monday morning as students in the Alexander City Schools System will be welcomed students back for the first day of a new school year. About 3,000 students are expected to attend classes in the city this year and Superintendent Dr. Darrell Cooper said that he, the board, administrators, teachers and staff are optimistic about what this year may bring. “We are very excited about beginning a great, new school year,” Cooper said. “Teachers have been here for a week preparing and training in anticipation of the first day.” Cooper said that there aren’t a lot of new practices and procedures this year, with the only new principal being Reginald Clifton at Alexander City Middle School.

It looks like Dadeville will again be a two grocery store town soon as Store 34’s Mike Patel is reopening the Piggly Wiggly at 132 Lafayette Street. “It’s great to have them reopen,” Dadeville Area Chamber of Commerce’s Linda Andrews said. “We are happy to see another business in town.” For the last several days, there has been activity around the store. Wednesday a paving contractor was seen starting to resurface the parking lot as crews inside were cleaning the building on Lafayette Street. Chatter on the internet is buzzing too with a post on the Dadeville Chamber Facebook page stating the store is looking for job applicants. Many have commented that they are happy to see a second grocery store back in town for a better selection and some competition to help with prices. “I am glad to see another grocery store in

are on the receiving end of a dose of passive-aggressive behavior from your angry son. Jeremy’s manipulation is hostile and deliberate. Family therapy might help, if Jeremy and his girlfriend are willing. But as it stands, it appears the only way you will be a part of his (and your grandson’s) life may be to buy your way in. However, do not mistake it for respect or affection, or you will only position yourself for more heartache. DEAR ABBY: What are your thoughts on calling friends or family while they’re on vacation? Last week, my husband and I had a much-needed getaway. While there, I was called several times by a friend who knew I was on vacation. After I ignored several calls, I got a frantic text from her requesting I call back immediately because she was concerned because I wasn’t answering. I

texted back that I was fine, but on a noisy beach and unable to talk. When I spoke with her after I returned home, it turned out she had wanted to chat about her boyfriend problems. I let her know that my vacation time is so limited each year that I usually don’t check my phone. I personally think making a non-emergency call to someone on vacation is rude and annoying. Am I right on this? -- DO NOT DISTURB IN WEST VIRGINIA DEAR D.N.D.: I think so. That’s why vacations are referred to as “getting away from it all.” Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

area. Officials with Ingram said late last week that the project is expected to last until September. Earlier this summer, three Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program projects were done. Coven Abbett, Comer and Hillabee have all been paved and this week new guardrails were installed on Comer Street in accordance with federal guidelines. “These projects involve some federal money, so the requirements as far as slope are

continued from page 1 much more detailed that state and local projects,” Brewer said. “They were required and it is great to have them there. It definitely adds another safety element there.” Also this summer, residents saw paving as a part of the first Alexander City Road Improvement Projects, which is being funded by the half-cent sales tax that was adopted by the Alexander City Council last year. Asphalt was laid on Church Street, Lee Street, the roundabout, North Main and South Main streets and striping was recently completed there.

Holocaust

Last year the system had three new principals. Cooper said that this year the system is concentrating on four focus areas: student engagement, iPad integration, differentiated instruction and school culture. He said that Thursday in training, the staff heard from Kim Bearden of Atlanta’s Ron Clark Academy. Bearden was selected from more than 70,000 nominations to be honored as the Disney American Teacher Awards Outstanding Middle School Humanities Teacher. She was also named one of Georgia’s Most Powerful and Influential Women. “Her message was on student engagement and that is one of the

impress upon students just how massive it was,” Coleman said. “Rather than showing the bodies, they suggested pictures that showed the shoes. It still shows the massive numbers and the conditions, but not as graphic.” Peter Fredlake, director of the Museum’s teacher education and special programs, said that the training is vital in keeping the message intact as it is presented to students. “In the face of rising anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial, educating students about this history is becoming increasingly urgent,” Fredlake said. “As the global leader in Holocaust education, the Museum works to ensure teachers have the training and resources they need to introduce their students to this important and complex history — and show them how its lessons remain relevant to all citizens today.” Every year, the Museum trains hundreds of teachers through training programs held in Washington and

around the country. It provides these teachers with advanced tools and teaching materials for students of history, English, social studies, language arts, library science, journalism and more. At the conference, the participants teamed up with Museum educators and scholars in sharing rationales, strategies and approaches for teaching about the Holocaust, Nazi propaganda and anti-Semitism by using various media, such as literature, survivor testimony and diaries that the Museum provides. They toured the Museum’s permanent exhibition, as well as the special exhibitions Some Were Neighbors: Collaboration & Complicity in the Holocaust; Remember the Children: Daniel’s Story; and From Memory to Action: Meeting the Challenge of Genocide. They heard from Holocaust survivor and Museum volunteer Henry Greenbaum, who survived the Auschwitz Buna-Monowitz subcamp and a death march to Dachau before

being liberated by U.S. soldiers in April 1945. “I can’t tell you the impact that tour had on me,” Coleman said. “At one point in the tour I just had to sit down it was so emotional. My husband’s uncle, who fought in that war, and I just sat there and tried to imagine what he must have felt and what it must have been like to walk un and see that as it was happening. “To me, it’s hard to imagine that any person could ever do that to another human being. It was a very vivid reminder that we can never let this happen again.” Once the participants completed the program, they received a set of educational materials and a voucher worth $100 to buy Holocaust-related materials in the Museum shop. The Museum’s website, www. ushmm.org, provides resources at no cost to educators, including a range of online training modules, exemplary lesson plans and extensive historical information about the Holocaust.

areas that we have really stressed,” Cooper said. “I think it was great for the staff to hear that message to get them energized as we prepare to open the year.” Cooper reminded parents to be aware of the heavy traffic on the first day and to allow extra time for arrival. He said to be prepared to follow directions for entry, parking and exit if they plan to arrive with their child at campuses. “No matter how many times you do it, there is always a lot of excitement surrounding the beginning of a new year,” Cooper said. “We hope all the students come back smiling and ready to have a good day and a successful year.”

That will help those on fixed incomes.” The previous owners closed the store at the end of January due to economic conditions. “It was inevitable,” previous co-owner Tommy Butcher said of his family closing the store. “We are hoping that someone will take it on.” Tommy’s father Laemon Butcher, who passed away June took over the store in 1980 and made many contributions to the community through the store and personally. Butcher’s children took it over in the last few years. Piggly Wiggly has over 600 independently owned and operated stores in 17 states, mainly in the southeast.

Dreaming of a D day when race is a non-issue

his newspaper doesn’t even pretend to have its finger on the pulse of the national scene. We are a hyper local publication, concentrating on what is happening primarily in our city and our county, while keeping an eye into the distance on state news. With that said, sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture – especially when the news of a 2013 incident that most people thought was dead and gone has been resuscitated just in time for depositions in another case makes international headlines. The report touched off emotional outbursts, and rightfully so. No one likes to hear those kinds of things, especially when it was from someone who is there to serve the public. We won’t use names and rehash it again here, but that’s exactly what some people want us to do. If there is some official action or news to report on the case, we will report it. We are a newspaper, not an oldspaper. It seems odd that this is coming at a time, a story with racial overtones, when we are near the anniversary of so many landmark racially charged events. On Aug. 9, we mark the one-year anniversary of the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri. Two days later will be the 50th anniversary of the uprising in Watts. As long as there is hatred and people are discriminated against because of their differences, we can’t ignore the problems and injustice. But wouldn’t it be nice if we didn’t have to worry about that problem ever again? We dream of that day. Consider the words of GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson from Thursday’s debate. “You know, I was asked by an NPR reporter once why don’t I talk about race that often. I said, ‘It’s because I’m a neurosurgeon.’ And she thought that was a strange response . . . I said, ‘You see, when I take someone to the operating room, I’m actually operating on the thing that makes them who they are. The skin doesn’t make them who they are. The hair doesn’t make them who they are. And it’s time for us to move beyond that because . . . our strength as a nation comes in our unity.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

ear Mom and Dad, It’s been almost three weeks since you dropped me off at summer camp. You better come get me ‘cause I’m in big trouble. On my first day, I was feeling homesick. So I found a piece of wood and began carving it with my Swiss Army knife the way Daddy showed me. Well, one of the counselors yelled at me to “freeze.” He took my knife, then patted me down. Then he marched me off to the camp director. The director said, who did I think I was bringing a lethal weapon, a symbol of pain and death, into her camp? Then she gave me a “verbal warning.” One day, Billy Johnson and I got bored, so we went into the woods to play. We turned a couple of branches into guns and made bullet noises as we fought the bad guys. Sure enough, we got marched off to the director. The director said there’s so much war in the world because boys like us are taught to “celebrate” it from an early age. She said we should be ashamed of ourselves and that we were lucky she wasn’t sending us home. So I figured I better stay out of trouble. But then I got in trouble at lunch. I began to say grace out loud, just like you taught me, and I was carted off to the director again. She wanted to know who I thought I was imposing my beliefs on others. She

said my actions showed how “ignorant” and “insensitive” Americans are to other cultures; then she gave me another warning. Believe it or not, things got even worse. We were weaving baskets and I was sitting next to Mary Allison, the prettiest girl I ever saw. “Mary,” I said, “you’re so pretty you make me smile from ear to ear.” Well, sure enough, I was carted off to the director again. She said I really crossed the line this time. She said my behavior was not only “boorish,” but against the law. She said I should be sued for sexual harassment. By the way, what is a “gender terrorist”? I was pretty uptight by that point. But I was able to forget about it when we played kickball. I kicked the ball really far and I got a grand slam. I was so happy, I said, “We win! We win!” Sure enough, that got me another trip to the director’s office. This time she said I was “insensitive” to the players on the other team. She said I hurt their “selfesteem.” Then she asked me if you and Daddy are Republicans. By this point, I figured I’d better just keep to

myself. So I got a jar out of the cafeteria and went into the woods. I caught a bumblebee in the jar and put some flowers in there to keep him happy. I was poking holes in the top to let fresh air in when I was hauled off to the director again. This time, she was really mad. She said, who did I think I was giving a “death sentence” to an innocent bee? She said I had no respect for the Earth and that it was people like me who were responsible for climate change. She said I’ll be lucky if the world doesn’t end before I collect Social Security. She said I better get with the program — that there is no place in this world anymore for “thoughtless,” “restless,” “insensitive” boys like me. She said if I mess up one more time, she was kicking me out of the camp. By the way, what is Ritalin? Anyhow, you better plan on coming back to get me. Tomorrow everybody is going for a hike in the woods. And I already picked some flowers to give to Mary Allison.

Letters to the Editor

Prayer is the answer for the world’s problems Sherry Ellison Simpson

Bob Howard

Billy Ray Wall

Dear Editor, Listen to the thunder and the lightning flash. When I was a young child and it rained, I thought it rained the whole world over. It truly took me awhile to realize it can rain in just spots, not the whole world at the same time. In the last few years, we have had so many bad weather incidents. The tsunami, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, landslides, snows and wildfires have all had an impact on people all over the world. As in the recent flooding in Wimberly and Houston, Texas, it’s hard to realize that amount of water falling so rapidly as to do the bad/sad things it did. We have to know we will not go by water, the next time. Read 2 Peter Ch 3: 10/13. It is all in God’s hands. We can’t imagine and we are not prepared for these sad happenings. We need to realize, that God never makes

a mistake, and that He is just even in death. He sees the future, we can’t. Feel and believe, if America doesn’t call on and come back to God, then we are just beginning to see disasters, and it will be too late. Read 2 Chronicles Ch 8: 14. Do people just not care at all anymore? Are they waiting on someone else to do the praying? A few praying people can’t change the world, but we can keep on praying and asking God’s will to be done. I keep praying that before the Lord comes after me (my family), I might see a mighty change for the Lord, lets try it before it is to late. Please, don’t forget to pray for Israel and Jerusalem. God Bless All. Margaret Aldridge Dadeville

Alarming revelations on the anniversary of the Hiroshima Bombing

James Spann

Thomas Goss

Dear Editor, As we remember the anniversary of the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima, Japan, we must try to learn as much as possible about what really happened in that event. While most Americans still agree that it was the right decision to use atomic weapons on Japan, we are just now – 70 years hence – learning more of the actual facts. The Los Angles Times published a startling eye-opening op-ed on August 6th, disclosing that our government not only withheld facts surrounding the bomb’s effect at the time, but continued to mislead its citizens for the past 70 years! Access to the article is enclosed here and

I urge everyone read it. Read the article: http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/laoe-0809-southard-atomic-bomb-survivors20150806-story.html#page=1 Ironically, this discussion is uniquely timely with the current ongoing debate over the U.S./ Iranian Nuclear Treaty. Taking known facts into consideration, one must conclude that we surely must never consider loosening availability of this capability to third world nations, instead rely on this latest information of nuclear attack effects long term to try & shield mankind form from further proliferation of the bomb! James W. Anderson Talladega

Horoscope

JACQUELINE BIGARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STARS ARIES (March 21-April 19) --You might have set plans, but if the activity doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appeal to you, you will lose interest quickly. Make sure you get to choose what your plans look like, and ask others to join you. You will enjoy yourself as a result. Tonight: Out late. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --You might consider a different way of handling a Â¿nancial matter that keeps coming up for you. At times, when you are out shopping, you tend to lose all sense of what you have spent or can spend. Tonight: Do what pleases you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --You could be very concerned about getting through a matter involving your home. Understand what is happening around you that might be upsetting you. Let it go, and make the most of your renewed energy. Tonight: Not alone. CANCER (June 21-July 22) --You might be at your witsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; end when trying to deal with a child or loved one. It is possible that you are making a problem worse by ignoring it. Use caution with spending, as you are likely to go overboard. Tonight: Make it intimate. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --You could be tired, but your friends will drag you out the door anyway. A loved one also might want you to join him or her. Do not Â¿ght the inevitable. Your sense of humor will make the next few days special. Tonight: Out on the town. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wake up feeling as though today is special. Think of your perfect Saturday, then go off and play it out. You might want to reach out to a favorite person or two to join you. You will be happy you did. Tonight: As you like it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) --You might wonder what to do with a family member. Listen to a suggestion that comes from out

of the blue. You are best off playing this situation out and making the most of it. Tonight: Do what you most would like to do. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) --Understand what needs to happen with a child or new friend. Try to imagine what this person would most like to do. Better yet, let him or her choose. Once in a while, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to let others call the shots. Tonight: In the limelight. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) --Someone close to you will want your time and attention. You are likely to be delighted by this request. Though you might not prefer to do what this person suggests, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a ball if you do. Tonight: Just go along for the ride. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --You might be surprised by how fast a friend loses his or her temper. You might not want to get involved, but ultimately you must stand your ground. Once peace is made, you both will be much happier. Tonight: A romantic dinner for two. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) --Be more forthright in your dealings with a new friend. In response to spending the day with this person, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll become more authentic. Spontaneity needs to be the theme at this moment. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) --You might be out of sorts when responding to someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. You easily could opt to spend the day at home without too many plans. The role of spontaneity becomes clearer as the day goes on. Tonight: Order in.

TOUGH ENOUGH Physicality is name of the game for Horseshoe Bend’s Holt By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

After suffering a torn labrum in week three, a lot of players might have packed it in and started preparing for the next season. But not Horseshoe Bend senior linebacker Isac Holt. Holt threw on a shoulder brace and continued the season on his way to a school record 138 tackles, including ten tackles for loss, a sack and seven passes defended to land himself on the second team for Class 2A AllState. Some might call it stubborn, but one has to admit it takes toughness to play through such an injury and be ready to go this season. “It was projected to be about an 8-12 month recovery, and I’m on the last part of that recovery now,” Holt said. “I’m getting stronger, starting to get some mobility back and just kind of working to get back to normal now.” As he has been practicing with the team and been cleared to play ahead of schedule, Holt has relished in taking a leadership role entering his senior season. “This has been the first time I’ve been the oldest one on the team. I’ve always been the younger one playing with the older guys,” Holt said. “So, taking a leadership role this year and having to have the mindset where it’s not just about me, it’s about making my team better also. Our big thing this year is just working as a team. If we all do our individual jobs, it will work as a team. “Having to take that leadership role, whether it is in the weight room, on the field during agilities or out there hitting in full pads, I’m having to be a leader this year.” A part of that leadership off the field is crucial to Holt’s leadership role as the Generals’ starting middle linebacker. With the middle linebacker serving as basically the quarterback of the defense, Holt has to know everything that is going on in order to be successful. “Middle linebacker has to run the defense, so I have to make the calls, know the coverages and know where everyone has to be,” Holt said. “Starting at that position last year helped me see glimpses of what I had to do. I knew we could be good last year, but I knew we didn’t reach our potential. I know we can be even better this year, so stepping up and taking that leadership role on the defense is about making sure everyone does

their job while I do my job.” While Holt also plays running back and a little tight end for the Generals, he enjoys linebacker most because it allows him to show his toughness and punish the opponent. “Linebacker is my true love. I play a little bit of running back and a little bit of tight end, but I love linebacker,” Holt said. “At linebacker, I like to be the meanest person on the field and be the nastiest one out there, whether people like it or not. I like to be the one you don’t want to run at.” After a disappointing past couple of seasons where the Generals did not reach the playoffs, Holt is hoping to lead his team to its full potential and return to the postseason in his senior year. “I’m hoping we get to the playoffs. That’s the main goal is trying to make playoffs,” Holt said. “I’m also hoping to break my record of tackles last year and get more tackles this year than I did before. But more than anything the big goal is playoffs. We’ve got big expectations and we’re hoping to pull through.”

Alexander City’s little athletes are gearing up for another season on the soccer field. Registration kicked off Friday night for the upcoming Alexander City Youth Soccer season, but there will be two more days that parents can sign their child up to play. Registration will be held Friday, Aug. 14, at the Sportplex Gymnasium from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday, Aug. 15, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Josh Tucker, president of the Youth Soccer Board, said parents need to fill out a registration form and pay a fee of $65. “They will have to fill out a registration form and the cost is $65, which includes their jersey and shorts,” Tucker said. “So, the only thing parents will have to supply on their own are cleats, socks and shin guards. And, if their child has not played in the past year, they need to bring a copy of the child’s birth certificate.” This year’s season will include teams of boys and girls starting at 3 years old to 15. Tryouts will follow on Aug. 17 and the season will begin immediately following Labor Day. “We’re going to have teams from ages 3-15 years old. Our season will run about six to eight weeks,” Tucker said. “After registration, on Monday, Aug. 17, we’re going to have tryouts where we go and evaluate the players’ talent levels so that we can place them as evenly as possible on teams to level the playing field.” For more information, parents can visit alexcitysoccer.com and like the Alex City Youth Soccer facebook page for day-to-day updates.

Reeltown prepping for Childersburg in first week of practices By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

With a quick turnaround between now and the season opener on Aug. 20, the Reeltown Rebels have opened practices with an immediate focus on their first opponent. Reeltown Coach Jackie O’Neal said the first week of practices have gone well for the Rebels, and that they are doing their best to prepare for the season opener against a Childersburg team that will be different from the one they faced last year. “The first week has gone pretty good. We’ve just been working a lot on the fundamental things that we want to do to get ready for the first ball game,” O’Neal said. “So, we’ve been working on our kicking game and most of our defenses. Childersburg, they say they’re changing their offense, but until you actually see somebody doing something you’re basically having to prepare for what they’ve already done before, which is the spread.” While Childersburg lost many players to graduation much like the Rebels, O’Neal said they will not know for sure what to expect until they take the field on Aug. 20 at Childersburg. “They were hit pretty good by graduation also, so without seeing them in the spring you don’t really have a good feel for their athletes, their speed and size,” O’Neal said. “I’ve read some things where they’re likely going to be a pretty good size this year, but until we get on the field we really won’t know. It’s going to be one of

those games where you’re going in halfway blind, kind of like a pirate where you got a patch on one eye.” O’Neal said he has been particularly proud of his seniors and the leadership they have displayed thus far, and added that the team as a whole has displayed a lot of mental toughness in braving the hot weather of early fall. “I’ve been really pleased with my senior class. The energy level has been great considering the weather,” O’Neal said. “Everybody is kind of a little afraid of that weather because it drains you so fast. We’ve been able to work in short spurts and get the most out of them and then give them a break and come back. They’ve been really mentally tough about it.” O’Neal said the Rebels have looked good in the transition from the summer conditioning program, and added that despite the loss of some 17 players, he is confident in this year’s team. “Our kids have responded real well to the summer program. They’ve come back in pretty good condition,” O’Neal said. “We’ve been able to work at a different speed than we normally work at this time of year because usually they’re sluggish. But we’ve been working at good speed on both sides of the ball. We lost 17 or 18 kids from last year, and really lost more than that because we had some that couldn’t play, so we have a lot of holes to fill. But we Robert Hudson / The Outlook feel good about the kids we’ve got because they’re putting forth the effort we need to Reeltown running back Cody Martin, left, takes the handoﬀ during practice on Friday. put out a winning program.” Friday marked the Rebels’ first day in full pads.
