DEAR ABBY: My wife and I know a couple whose daughter has been our daughter’s playmate since they were 3 months old. They are pleasant and welcoming. We all get along well and have gone to dinner, ball games and musicals together. However, when we go to their home for a gathering, the father will slip off with a few of his old friends and smoke pot on the back porch while the kids are playing inside. It’s their home, and marijuana is legal in our state. Their daughter’s 4th birthday party took place last weekend, and once again, with numerous children running around, they slipped out for a toke before the cake was served. This may seem prudish, but I don’t want my daughter in a situation where she might be exposed to this, or think that we think smoking marijuana is perfectly normal. I enjoy spending time with this family, but I don’t think I want to visit their home if this is what I can expect. What should we

DEAR ABBY Advice

do? -- MYSTIFIED IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR MYSTIFIED: Because you prefer your little girl not be exposed to the kind of behavior you have observed in this couple’s home, call a halt to her going there to play. Invite the other child to your home instead. If your friends ask why, explain it just as you explained it to me. As parents, it’s your job to protect her from influences you feel are not healthy or appropriate for her. Because pot is legal in your state, this will be something you may have to revisit again in the future. DEAR ABBY: “Fred” and I have been in a relationship for 10 years. During

that time he has broken up with me six times. It’s always over something trivial, and it’s always my job to smooth things over and get us back together. When we are together we have a good time, but I never know when the next breakup will happen. I love Fred, and he claims to love me. What’s your opinion of a man who constantly does this? -- PERPLEXED WIDOW IN FLORIDA DEAR PERPLEXED: Fred may love you, but his definition of love and yours are different. He may be afraid of intimacy or not want to marry you -- which is why he breaks up with you when he feels you are getting too close. If all you want is a good time, and you’re willing to do all the work in the relationship, this may be enough for you. However, if it isn’t, then 10 years is more than enough time to invest in someone who treats you the way Fred does. DEAR ABBY: About five years ago, a co-worker

married a woman with four kids. Now, all he does is talk about one of the kids or his wife. He tells anyone who will listen about them -- even total strangers. When I pointed out to him a couple of years ago that he was constantly talking about one of the kids, he stopped for a week, and then started talking about another one. Lately it has been all about his wife. I’m sick of it. How do I tell him we’re ALL fed up without damaging a 30-year friendship? -- STUMPED IN KENTUCKY DEAR STUMPED: You can’t. Obviously, the man’s wife and children are the center of his life, and he may not have much else to talk about. Be grateful it isn’t politics.

and 48-year-old Angela Barnett of Camp Hill lost their lives. Camp Hill Police Department was the lead agency at the scene, with the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department and troopers from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency assisting. There was no information released at the time as to what may have caused the accident. Then Camp Hill Police Chief Johnny Potts did say excessive speed appeared to be a factor, but said it was too early to speculate on other factors until the investigation and test results are complete. Bowens is well-known in the community, having been a member of the 2010 Edward Bell State Championship basketball team.

announced the next window to apply for grants such as this one will open on Oct. 1, and the council approved a motion, empowering Wilkerson to submit a grant application during the next window. The council also heard from Kay Fincher, who is a member of an Alexander City-based art organization. The group wants to expand into the Dadeville area and have an open studio where local artists can come together, share ideas and work in the same space. Fincher requested being able to hold a weekly open studio session starting in October at the recreation center, while also answering questions about the organization from the council members. “We are not associated with the art guild here in town,” Fincher said. “We are not in competition with them, we want to come and be here in addition to them.” The council approved allowing the group to have its weekly studio sessions at the recreation center, feeling this was a good thing to have in town. “I have no problem with it as

long as it doesn’t conflict with the other rentals,” Councilman Dick Harrelson said. The following items also came before the Dadeville City Council: • Minutes from the Aug. 14 meeting were approved. • Harrelson said one bid for repair work at city hall has been received, but he wants at least one more submission before the council moves forward. The council voted to approve giving City Clerk Debbie Minor the authority to run an advertisement soliciting bids for the project. • As the start of a new fiscal year approaches, Harrelson said he was interested in seeing a budget, while Councilman Roy Mathis said he wanted to meet with Wilkerson and police chief David Barbour about where they stood on their budgets. • The board approved a motion to place Shelia Gulledge on the city’s beautification committee. • Councilwoman Teneeshia Goodman-Johnson asked what could be done about issues with the pavement on Jah Street.

Smith said these structures were at the top of the list moving forward. • Councilwoman Betty Adams said a citizen had approached her, asking if there was anything the city could do about sheets drying on a fence at the Heart of Dixie Motel. Barbour said he would look into the matter. • The courthouse square project is continuing to move along slowly but surely. • A motion to approve Labor Day as a city holiday was approved. • Two requests to rent the recreation center were approved, while a third was approved conditionally, as the council was unsure if this request would conflict with events already scheduled for the center. The next meeting of the Dadeville City Council will be Tuesday, Sept. 11 at Dadeville City Hall beginning with a pre-council meeting at 5:30 p.m., followed by the regular council meeting at 6 p.m.

Outlook The

Limited government demands more, not less, of Alabama

Our

View

Being involved a positive for everyone

I

n a democratic society like the United States, public entities like city councils and local school boards are required to hold meetings open to the public. Sunshine laws exist in order to make sure these meetings are held in the open, where the local citizens can see the decisions being made in an effort to make governmental entities more transparent. While the final decision on matters facing school boards and city councils ultimately lies with the governmental entity, they do ask for public input on the topic at hand. Not only do they ask for it, they frequently encourage it. Several local officials remind their constituents at every meeting, “We work for you and we want to hear from you.” The Outlook encourages everyone to get more involved in their communities by interacting with your local officials whenever possible. However, let’s be honest. Virtually all of us lead busy lives. When you get the opportunity to attend a city council or school board meeting though, take advantage of it. Voice your opinion on a pressing issue. See in a problem in your neighborhood or have a concern about your child’s school? Tell your council member or school board official about it. Bring it up at their next meeting. By doing things like this, you not only show your public officials you care about the place you live, but you also can help everyone around you by spotlighting the issue and causing the council or board to take action. Not everything brought before these entities has to be negative though. Have an idea to improve your community? Have you seen something the council or board has done you want to thank them for? Share your ideas and give them praise and recognition for the things they do right. We sometimes think that criticism is all that we can share with our officials, but there are times they like to know the citizens they serve appreciate what is being done for the good of all. As the age old saying goes, “Decisions are made by those who show up.” By showing up and voicing your concerns or sharing ideas for improvement, you become a part of the solution. If we all work together, there is virtually no limit to the things we can achieve, but it all starts with stepping up, speaking out and getting involved.

I

n Alabama, politicians and residents alike proclaim the benefits of limited government. Appropriately, our state’s motto is Audemus jura nostra defendere, which, when translated into the more popular language of English, reads “We dare defend our rights.” The phrase in original context — an 18th century poem by Sir William Jones — is followed by the potential thief of rights: “the tyrant while they wield the chain”, i.e. the government. Promoting limited government, evidently, is woven into what it means to be ‘Alabama’, and rightly so. Public office holders, candidates, and voters regularly point to the necessity of a limited government, as it is through limited government that our freedoms remain intact. What is not as often discussed, unfortunately, is that smaller or limited government requires larger voluntary community engagement. This is true because there will always be gaps where government could arguably be active. Limited government, by definition, means that there will be some spaces, some needs or hopes of the community or community members, that are not met by a central power. In states that don’t deem

PARKER SNIDER Columnist limited government as a highly as Alabama, these gaps tend to be filled by government. In a state like Alabama, however, these spaces are befittingly left to be filled by the private sector. The duty, therefore, of community members to selflessly and actively consider others is higher in a state that prioritizes limited government than in one that does not. Alabama, regrettably, yields ample problems that need innovative, community-based solutions. For example, metro Birmingham, the state’s primary economic powerhouse, is growing at a much more modest rate than peer cities like Nashville in terms of GDP and employment. A report by the “Building (It) Together” campaign also mentions that the metro area is losing workers while most peer cities are not. Obviously, these are problems if the state wants to thrive economically in the future. There, of course, are

a variety of contributing causes to this economic underperformance, both in Birmingham and across the state. In order to address some of these underlying issues — and in light of our understanding of the responsibility of the private sector — the Alabama Policy Institute is participating in a community initiative we call Hiring Well, Doing Good. In short, Hiring Well, Doing Good takes aim at one of the systematic problems facing our state: chronic unemployment. Through working with community organizations including non-profits, foundations, and employers in the state, API plans to connect the chronically unemployed with training opportunities, professional development, and — ultimately — long-term employers. Our hope is to be a small part of solving the issues facing the Birmingham metro and Alabama as a whole. Regardless of what API is doing, the principle stands. Stalwarts of limited government must remember that limited government demands more, not less, of Alabama. Parker Snider is policy relations manager for the Alabama Policy Institute.

Letters to the Editor

Woody Baird, before you speak next time, take your time and find out the truth. I do appreciate your apology but damage was done with your original letter if no one read the last one with the apology. And, another lie: Democrats do apologize if they do something wrong. Maybe not all, but some do. Also, please do not use the word “all,” “every one” of those Democrats, etc. because we are all unique — including you. Are we not? My genes,

blood chemistry, gender, etc. is different from yours. In fact, I could state all Republicans have no empathy, but I know that isn’t true. Some have more than I do. I could state all Republicans lie, but I know some don’t or at least I haven’t caught them. I could state all Republicans are stupid for believing in Trump and thinking Russians were not involved in the 2016 election, but I know some very intelligent Republicans. Those Republicans look at facts and look at the indictments against Trump folks

and the Russians so they know the truth. I appreciate loyalty to the party, but do your research. Listen to a non-partisan group and find out the truth. You obviously are quite intelligent Woody, but listen to BOTH sides of the issues — pro and con — from League of Women Voters, Snopes, Political Fact and others. Watch Fox News and MSNBC then go to these groups and find out who has pants on fire. Judy Palfrey Dadeville

When will the madness be addressed? Here we are again addressing yet another shooting, this time in Jacksonville, Florida, leaving three dead and 11 injured. Immediately afterward on Aug. 25, politicians and major networks jumped on this story for obvious publicity benefits. While any gun violence is deplorable and should be addressed, this Florida shooting comes during a weekend when 23 were gunned down in Chicago, leaving at least two dead. This is just three weeks after the worst bloody weekend in memory in Chicago when 74 were shot and with 12 dying. Yet, the situation in Chicago

apparently has become acceptable by politicians and major media with little coverage devoted to the plight. In the Jacksonville event, within hours the governor of Florida rushed to the scene and President Donald Trump issued a statement condemning the action. It doesn’t take rocket science to see these politicians are simply widow dressing and using a tragic event for publicity and photo op. Where were these people — Trump included — three weeks ago after 74 were shot in the Windy City? The time has long passed when the president should act proactively. An immediate response could be Trump sending hundreds of U.S.

Marshals into inner-city Chicago to enforce existing gun laws, holding shooters accountable for their actions — which is not being enforced now. President John F. Kennedy used U.S. Marshals quite effectively in dealing with civil rights racial violence in Mississippi in the early 1960s. The political hypocrisy in failing to address gun violence must stop now! As taxpayers, we must please speak up and speak out for all our safety. Sources: Chicago SunTimes: Aug. 27, 2018 Washington Times: Aug. 22, 2018 James W. Anderson Talledega

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Communication Ă…ourishes. Oddly enough, others could decide to make themselves vulnerable and speak about their dreams and/or fears. You might gain a great deal of understanding and empathy as a result of their openness. Tonight: Be spontaneous. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Some of you might give thought to calling out from work today. Whether you have been pushing too hard or have a situation that is depleting you, you probably need some time oɈ. You will see the difference in how you feel tomorrow. Tonight: Share some news with a favorite person. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You smile, and others respond. You have reason to feel good about your friendships. A sense of understanding emanates from one person to the next. You might be approaching responsibilities with an easier and lighter tone than usual. Tonight: Nap, then decide. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your caring personality emerges -- except when you feel defensive. You might Ă„nd yourself in a manipulative power play with someone you usually count on. You can shrug oɈ the incident, though that is not the desired response. Tonight: Visit with an older relative. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Today seems to be a good day for you, but understand that it could be oɈensive to less upbeat signs. Share news with a loved one, and listen to what he or she has to say. You will see that what ails one person might not bother another. Tonight: Start the weekend early. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A discussion might be ongoing; however, you need to see it to the end. Closing oɈ the topic might take more skill than you had anticipated. Give the other party some time before you visit again. Letting go will be a lot easier that way. Tonight: Make a long-distance call Ă„rst.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your lightness and easygoing nature draw a loved one in even closer. If you want to have a more intimate relationship, use this moment for a serious talk. Note that you have a tendency to overindulge, and be careful when out and about. Tonight: Spend quality time with a friend. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have a strong and eɈective way of clearing out some responsibilities. When you have a conversation with a loved one, you might feel as though you want to stop it short. Use your self-discipline to get through a problem. Tonight: Speak your mind, and others will listen. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your creativity emerges, allowing you to handle a child or loved one in a more dynamic way. The conversation might feel as though you are being manipulated. Refuse to allow this to happen by distancing yourself. You will be better oɈ as a result. Tonight: OɈ to the gym. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your playfulness rarely emerges in the workplace; however, today you cannot help yourself. Whether a humorous situation unfolds or you simply feel less burdened by recent responsibilities, others enjoy this lightness. Tonight: Kick up your heels and relax. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Do not stop yourself from reaching out to others. Someone might need you to make the Ă„rst move. If you decide to make an eɈort to mend fences, you will discover that everything works out well. Don’t take what everyone shares as fact. Tonight: Make it an early night. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others seek you out. Although you might have a lot on your plate, you will manage to Ă„t in everyone who needs your help. Stay open-minded. Do your best to avoid a cantankerous friend who seems to put you in an either-or situation. Tonight: Surrounded by friends.

Derby

continued from page 1

will be held on West Street in front of the Dadeville Public Library, are scheduled to begin at noon and will go until a champion has been crowned. “We will be releasing all the cars from a ramp this year,� Ward said. “So, some of what we may lose on the hill, we’ll gain from having a launching ramp.� There will be a few changes in how the derby is held this year, including the implementation of age and weight classifications during the races. Ward said the three groupings will be ages 6 to 8 with the driver and car weighing no more than 200 pounds, ages 9 through 12 and a combined weight limit of 250 pounds, and 13 to 16 and a limit of 325 pounds. Should a situation arise where the child and car together weigh slightly over the limit, Ward said that child might still be able to race in his or her age group or may be bumped up to the next classification, depending on the situation. “I want to make sure we make it where all of the children can still race,� Ward said. However, there are some rules Ward said all drivers and their vehicles must follow without question. “All drivers have to wear a DOT-approved helmet, and all vehicles must have a hand steering system and brakes,� Ward said. Though all drivers and vehicles must follow these rules, Ward said the derby cars could be built however race participants wanted them to be constructed. Using one’s imagination and being highly creative when designing these vehicles is part of the charm of soap box derbies like these, Ward said. Other changes include the races being in a singleelimination format, though drivers will be able to earn a

Boats & Watercraft

buy-back for $10 if a small malfunction that can be easily repaired causes that driver to lose his or her race. Similar to last year’s derby, Ward said he wants to try and have the radar speed sign from the Dadeville Police Department at the races, where drivers can see how fast they are going as they speed down the hill, though Ward also wants to make sure it is placed in a spot where it will not be a potential hazard like last year, when one driver’s steering malfunctioned and he crashed into the barrier in front of the sign. Ward also said he wants to have at least one, possibly even two trial days where drivers can test their vehicles, find any bugs and work them out of the system before race day, though this will depend on if the Dadeville Police Department will be able to shut down the street on these dates. Ward said there will be trophies given out to the firstplace finishers, as well as to the winners of the best in show and fan-voted best in show competitions. All participants will receive a medallion and a certificate for being a part of the event. There is no registration fee for participants, but Ward said all those wanting to be a part of the race must be registered for the event by Sept. 22. Along with the derby, there will also be an antique car show taking place in the parking lot of First Baptist Church of Dadeville, the proceeds from which will go to help fund the derby. “Registration for the car show is $20,� Ward said. “There will be a trophy for the car voted best in show, and there may also be some 50/50 tickets sold as well throughout the show.� Though no registrations for the soap box derby have been received yet, Ward said there is no shortage of people expressing

BATTLE OF HIGHWAY

Dadeville’s defense swarms a Reeltown player during last year’s matchup.

REELTOWN VS. DADEVILLE:

County rivals to meet for 53rd time on the gridiron By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Folks around the state, and even around the country, get hyped for the AlabamaAuburn matchup. But folks around Tallapoosa County will certainly be out in droves Thursday night as one of the state’s most heated high school football rivalries is about to be settled again. Reeltown coach Matt Johnson has one thing in mind heading into the Rebels’ annual matchup with Dadeville. “We want this one bad,” he said. Dadeville and Reeltown have met on the gridiron every year dating back to 1972 and have had 52 meetings in total. The Rebels have won just 15 of those matchups and only one in the last decade. Adding even more motivation, Reeltown arguably should’ve won last year’s game after leading 10-0 at halftime. “They are dominating the record, and that’s even more motivation,” Johnson said. “We feel like we did not finish the game last year.” Reeltown (1-0) is

considered the favorite this year, especially after having moved up to No. 4 in Class 2A in the most recent Alabama Sports Writers Association poll. And Dadeville, which is coming off a big win against Horseshoe Bend, knows exactly what it’s up against. “Anytime you get a win, it gives your team some confidence in what they’re doing,” Tiger coach Richard White said. “We still had some hiccups in places we’re still trying to work out, and the task at hand is going to be a little more difficult this week. But again, it’s better to go into this game with a win than it is a loss.” While both teams have a solid defensive corps, it’s the offenses that should go toe to toe Friday night. Dadeville (1-0) got a huge game out of quarterback Slade McCullers, who had two passing touchdowns and two rushing last week against the Generals. He had several big throws and wasn’t afraid to scramble around to get the Tigers out of bad situations. “Slade does a great job and manages the game well,” Johnson said. “He’s the leader of that unit. I was

very impressed with his reads and very impressed with how he limited negative plays. With that zone read, our secondary has to be involved in that. They do a lot of stuff where the secondary has to be involved in the run.” On the flip side, the Tigers are going to have to be worried about the rushing attack of Reeltown. Cameron Faison went off for five touchdowns and more than 100 yards on the ground. The Rebels also have guys like Tre Tre Hughley and Keke Hughley to step in if Faison’s hot hands go a bit cold. “The main thing is we’ve gotta tackle well,” White said. “Reeltown’s running backs are really good, and they run with authority. What I mean by that is they run with a little meanness to ’em and we gotta learn to tackle those guys and get them to the ground.” Johnson said, “We’ll need another big week from our offensive line. Their effort was great; they really got after it. There’s still some things we have to fix after looking at film, but offensively, we had 11 guys

who stayed in the picture, even on those long runs, and that was great to see.” As for dealing with the rivalry, both coaches are working to make sure their players stay within themselves. With all the glitz and glamour of such a big game, it can be easy to get caught up in that hype. “We have to be smart enough not to take hold of every bit of it and just take the part that’s going to funnel us in the right direction,” Johnson said. “Excitement and hype are good; all that stuff that goes into a huge rivalry is good if it’s used the right way. With a team like this, especially with what they do offensively, you can get too hyped.” White mirrored those sentiments. “I try to do a good job of keeping that from happening,” he said. “The thing we have to do every day as a team is we have to get better at what we do. If we’re not doing that, we’re backing up and losing ground and we can’t afford to do that with this game coming up and this region coming up.”
