Officials brace for impaired drivers Getting behind the wheel not worth the risk, wrecker service offers ride and tow By MITCH SNEED and CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
If your New Year’s Eve plans include alcohol, local law enforcement has some advice for you – don’t risk getting behind the when while impaired. Cliff Williams / The Outlook Local law enforcement officials No driver wants to a sight like this in their mirror, particularly say they will be out in force over the if they have been drinking.
G. Robinson said that the dangers of drunk driving far outweigh any inconvenience that may come from finding an alternate way home. “Driving under the influence can be a deadly decision,” Robinson said. “It’s not worth the risk.

Water rushed through the spillways at Thurlow Dam near Tallassee. Officials say that the 2-plus inches of rain experienced Wednesday should push the water level at Lake Martin to full summer pool.
Wednesday’s showers push water levels higher By DAVID GRANGER Staff Writer
In the last week, Alexander City has received almost eight inches of rainfall at Russell Airport, according to the city’s Department of Public Works. Since Dec. 23, Public works has reported a total rainfall in Alexander City of 7.75 inches. Alexander City Council member Bobby Tapley reported two inches of rainfall at his home off Jefferson Street in the 24 hours at 5 p.m. Wednesday. All considered, that’s enough to cause lake levels to continue to rapidly swell. Since Monday, Dec. 21, the level of Lake Martin at Martin Dam has

risen from 480.23 feet to 488.25. That dramatic jump and more rain on Wednesday has forced Alabama Power to take precautions at area dams, including opening two gates at Martin Dam at approximately 10 a.m. Wednesday morning. According to Michael Sznajderman, coordinator of media relations for Alabama Power, the power company expects the lake to rise to a peak of 490 mean sea level on New Year’s Day. “Right now, barring any changes in the weather outlook, we are expecting to the lake to reach a peak of 490 feet mean sea level of about a foot below summer pool,” Sznajderman said Tuesday. “Once it peaks, we do expect to start drawing the level down a little

An ongoing investigation into employee theft at a Dadeville discount store has netted the arrest of three more employees. Dadeville Police Chief David Barbour said that Jessie Howard Mann, 20, of County Shop Road in Dadeville, Ashley Nicole Singleton, 20. of Horseshoe Bend Road in Dadeville and Robert Scott Rosser, 19, of County Shop Road in Dadeville were arrested Tuesday. Barbour said that the arrests were a direct result of the investigation See THEFT • Page 6

There is currently no timetable for repair and reopening of either of those roads, Moran said Wednesday. Finley Road required a repair over the weekend, but is currently open. Moran urged residents who don’t have a NOAA weather radio to get one and said those with weather radios See RAIN • Page 3
For the second time in about three weeks, Alexander City Police investigators are looking for answers after residents reported shots being fired from a passing vehicle. Alexander City Police Chief Willie Robinson said that officers responded to a call in the area of County Road in the Spring Hill community just after 5 p.m. Tuesday evening. He said that witness accounts varied, but the constant was that several shots were fired. “We responded with several units after several callers reported multiple shots being fired,” Robinson said. “We did not locate any suspects or a victim, but we did find a bullet hole in a vehicle. No injuries were reported.” Robinson said that witnesses gave conflicting descriptions of the vehicle that was involved. A bulletin was placed with agencies from surrounding areas, but as of Wednesday evening, no one had been taken into custody, Robinson said. “It’s an active investigation and we are still checking out several leads and going through information that we have received,” Robinson said. He added that there was some evidence discovered in the area that could See DRIVE-BY • Page 6

Dadeville police have made an arrest in an altercation at a Dadeville convenience store early Sunday morning ended with gunfire and two people suffering from gunshot wounds. Dadeville Police Chief David Barbour confirmed Wednesday that Cleophus Lajerle Johnson III, 20, was arrested and charged with carrying concealed weapon without a permit and two counts of first-degree assault.

When officers arrived they found two individuals suffering gunshot injuries. “Information gathered on the scene suggests that during the Johnson III fight, two individuals began shooting at each other in the crowd,” Barbour said. “Preliminary indications are that the two that were injured were bystanders who got caught up in the gunfire.” According to Barbour, Laquez Maurice Minniefield, 23, of Camp Hill was transported to Lake Martin Community Hospital then air lifted to See ARRESTS • Page 6

DEAR ABBY: A friend I really like has been extremely helpful baby-sitting my 4-month-old son every once in a while. The problem is, she informed me that she rubs his gums and lets him chew on her fingers. I find this gross and strange. Clean fingers or not, I’d prefer she not do this. She only has him a couple of hours at a time, and he has teething toys. Am I overreacting? If not, how do I politely inform my friend that I’d rather she not put her fingers in my baby’s mouth? I can’t think of a way to explain it that wouldn’t offend her. -- OFF LIMITS IN IDAHO DEAR OFF LIMITS: What your friend is doing is neither gross nor strange. She was probably trying to soothe your teething baby who was showing signs of discomfort. Her fingers may have been more comfortable to chew on than

the hard toy. However, you are the parent and if you prefer no more fingers in your baby’s mouth, you should tell that to your friend and she shouldn’t take offense. DEAR ABBY: I often have thought about cooking food and taking it to neighbors when they experience a death in the family or a new baby, etc. I know when my parents passed away, kind relatives and neighbors brought us so much food we didn’t know what to do with it all. But it was greatly appreciated and helped us more than they could ever know.

What if they already have a lot of food or are allergic to something?) How can I offer something useful without knowing their eating habits?

“We will be able to tow someone up to 10 miles for free through AAA,” Lake Martin Garage’s Crystal Colley said. “It is better to ride with AAA than the police.” Colley explained that this service is not for those with car problems. “It cannot be for a breakdown,” Colley said. “It has to be for an intoxicated driver and you do not have to be a AAA member.” Colley explained how the program works. “AAA pays us to get to a driver’s location,” Colley said. “Then we will ask for your keys and I.D. From there we will tow you up to 10 miles for free and beyond that is $4 per mile.” The way it works is for the impaired driver, a waiter, or bartender to call AAA at 1-800-222-4357 between the hours of 6 p.m. Thursday and 6 a.m. Friday. From there, AAA will dispatch Lake Martin Garage to tow you up to 10 miles for free. Colley said this is not the first time that Lake Martin Garage has taken part in the program. “We took part last year,” Colley said. “Nobody took advantage of it. If you don’t call, we can’t haul.”
influence – you simply do not have the same judgment. “In addition to the dangers, if you get caught and are proven guilty, it is an expensive mistake. You could find yourself in jail, your vehicle impounded and lose your driving privileges. That’s not a chance anyone should take.” In Alabama, you are guilty of driving under the influence with a blood alcohol level of .08 or greater. A conviction on the first offense can carry a sentence of up to one year in jail, a fine of $500 to $2,000 and an additional $100 fine assessed for Impaired Drivers Trust Fund. A mandatory 90-day license suspension and DUI school attendance are also awaiting all convicted firsttime offenders. Both Barbour and Robinson say that drivers should plan ahead. One local business is even offering to help you and your car get home safely. Lake Martin Garage is participating in the AAA Safe Holiday Program for the second year to help those that might have too much too drink at New Year’s Eve parties.

He also said that residents should have a predesignated place to shelter in the event that weather warrants it. Finally, Moran said that residents should call 911 in the event of any weather-related emergency or the EMA office at 256-825-1078. Residents who find themselves with
non-emergency needs are urged to call 211. “We also want folks to remember that, if you see water on the roadway, you can’t tell how deep it is. They should remember the saying, ‘Turn around, don’t drown’ and please don’t drive cars through flooded areas.”

Opinion
Plan ahead for a safe New Year’s Eve
T
he dawn of a new year is upon us and it is cause for a celebration. Another year is in the books and it is a time to think ahead and set goals for what is to come. Regardless of how you plan to celebrate New Year’s Eve, we ask that you plan ahead so that you arrive back home safely. Statistics show that many of the approximately 75 percent of Americans staying up past midnight will include alcohol as part of their celebration. If that’s true for you, line up a cab or designate a driver. The bottom line: If you’re drinking, make sure someone sober is behind the wheel. There are plenty of reasons to think ahead. Making a bad decision involving alcohol and driving can be life-changing – or even lifeending. Consider all the bad things that could happen: • An automatic 30-day suspension of your license if you’re caught. The suspension can be even longer if you’re convicted. • Fines, court costs, lawyers’ fees and bigger insurance premiums. • Medical expenses and, if you hurt someone else, perhaps a lawsuit. • Vehicle impoundment. • Maybe a jail term. • The possibility of living the rest of your life knowing you killed someone. • Or it could be you who dies. Not one of those outcomes is worth a few drinks on New Year’s Eve. If you’re driving this holiday season, even if you aren’t drinking, you should protect yourself as well. Drive defensively, with a safe amount of stopping distance between your car and the car ahead of you. Take special care at intersections, as they may be slippery from traffic and lights can change quickly. And keep your headlights on — whether or not you need them to see, others need them to help see you. The new year is a time for fresh starts and there’s no reason to begin 2016 badly by putting yourself and others in danger because of a lack of foresight.

Fond memories of a dear uncle
ear Uncle Jeff, I wish I could be there today to join those who will gather to send you on your journey home, but I’m sure that you understand. Still, I’d like to be there to say goodbye and to hear the music. Knowing you for all of my 55 years and knowing how we’ve always shared our love for music, I know you’ve picked an amazing soundtrack for your goodbye. Mama was sad to hear about your death, but she knows her little brother’s better off now. She saw as much as we all did what the Parkinson’s had done to you. She’s happy that you’re better and with your maker, even though your loss leaves her alone among her immediate family. My God, how you fought your Parkinson’s! Even as your Facebook posts grew more and more indecipherable, your love and joy and zest for life and your family shined through. I know that you were happy I was writing again and I hope this letter can come even close to adequately expressing my love for - and memories of - you, my Mama’s baby brother, my dear uncle. I remember all the times our families visited in the various places that your job took you - Tampa,
DAVID GRANGER Outlook Writer
Pensacola, Woodstock. One of my earliest memories is a trip to Pensacola to visit your family. Daddy pulled his brand new Chrysler onto a closed portion of the brand new I-10 and opened that Chrysler up! Your sister had a fit, but we made it! I remember meeting you and your family on the road between Opp and Elba. You were driving a classic late 60s Dodge - a Coronet, I think. And you had two brand new babies in the car. I remember you laid Tom and April on the hood of that car so Mama could get a couple Polaroids (they’re still around somewhere), you smiling in your crew cut and old-style glasses showing off the new additions to your family. I remember you and Daddy going in halfsies on a big, yellow wooden boat. The two of you were going to fix it up and make it your lake vessel. Oh, the best laid plains! And by “laid,” I mean how that boat laid upside down in our backyard until it was beyond any hope of hope! I remember you making me mad one day feigning madness at Daddy while
we fished on the pond. No one talked to my Daddy that way! Not even you! I remember deep-sea fishing trips and fruitful catfish holes. I remember how Scott and me sometimes drove you and Daddy crazy. I remember your smooth singing voice and how my Mama loved to hear it. I remember seeing you smile for the first time in a long time after you met Rezina. I love and will miss that smile. You, like my Mama, were my Granny made over - full of love and life no matter the pain, be it physical or emotional. Now, you’re free of any pain. Your hands are, once again, steady. I gave my donation to the Michael J. Fox Foundation in your name today. It was the least I could do for an uncle who has shown me a lifetime of love. One more thing .... Uncle Jeff, I’ve decided the most recent flood in Elba wasn’t due to the rainfall, It was the Pea River overflowing from the tears the Coffee County sky shed for a native son. Tell Daddy hello for me and that I miss him. I know that y’all are catching up on old times. I love and will miss you, Your nephew.

Dear Editor, On March 2.2015 the City Council of Alexander City voted (5-1) to designate a large downtown area as an entertainment district. Those planning and promoting this change emphasized that the desired result would be great benefits for the businesses located in this area. One thing that would be different if part of town was called an entertainment district was that the purchase and consumption of alcoholic beverages would be less restricted. Basically those establish-
ments selling alcoholic beverages would be benefitted the most. Prior to the City Council’s action on the matter of an entertainment district, there was an article in the Outlook with the headline… Chamber board to support entertainment district plan. I quote from that article: “ Waggoner said that MainStreet had talked to 26 businesses and 24 were in support of the formation of entertainment district.” I ask that MainStreet or an investigative reporter of The Outlook contact those same 26 business owners/man-
agers and that your newspaper report honestly and accurately how many businesses have noticed improvements. It is noticeable that some store locations on Broad Street are now empty buildings. Citizens of Alexander City need to know what have been the positive and negative effects of increased “freedom” to consume alcoholic beverages in the entertainment district.

I’m glad he found a way to get his message back in the public eye, even though it cost him a large price. But he has nothing else to lose. I’m proud of his action because this man is innocent of these charges. If there is ever any justice in this country, it needs to “rain down” right now because there is a strong need for it all over this land. People are human beings, not animals and just because you dislike or disagree with someone you shouldn’t create revenge against them. This is what has happened here
with Mr. Siegelman. For myself and so many more all we can do is keep speaking out and pray that relief will soon come. I want Mr. Siegelman to know he has friends out here that know he was targeted and soon people will see how ugly people in power can really be. We are working very hard to change the Old South to the New South, where people will love one another again and not money. You will have to trust in the system again where every life matters. Some don’t want that kind of change. Instead, they want the people from other parts of the world to see the United States as a torture state. If they don’t like you, we torture them. That is wrong.
And Alabama is a state that people are always talking about. Something is always happening here. It is like no one is in charge. We have to start thinking that to because the laws on the books don’t apply to them. Don’t get me wrong, there are some honey judges, lawyers and police. The law does still mean what it always meant. It’s just to some, the law don’t matter so we make up lies and put you away. That is what has been happening here in Alabama. Stay safe and try to make it through these holidays and we are hoping and praying next year will be your “breakthrough.” Arlean Wyckoff Alexander City

be related to the incident, but said that it could be detrimental to the probe to release details. On Dec. 5, officers were also called to the same area after multiple individuals reported a car that had fired shots in the direction of a group of people who were standing near the intersection of County Road and Spring Hill Road. In that incident, officers found a vehicle damaged by a bullet, but no one was seriously injured.
“It’s too early to say if the two incidents are related,” Robinson said. “They are in the same general area, but other than that I can’t say if there is a link.” Robinson said the area is already heavily patrolled, but as a result of recent events, police presence in the area will become more visible. “We will be stepping up patrols and have investigators in the area in the coming days and weeks,” Robinson said.
Theft
continued from page 1
following the Dec. 16 arrest of Rebecca Lynn Autry, 23, of Dadeville who was also an employee at the Dadeville Family Dollar and was accused of taking more than $3,000 in cash and gift cards over a period of a few months. “We felt like at the time there was more than just the one person involved,” Barber said. “These arrests were much the same, all three were employees and the investigation turned up evidence that they, too, have taken cash and gift cards from the store.”
Mann was charged with firstdegree theft, while Singleton and Rosser are facing second-degree theft charges. Barbour said that Mann is suspected of taking more than $3,000 from the store, while Singleton and Rosser are believed to taken “in the $2,000 range.” “The thefts occurred over a period of time during their employment with the business,” Barbour said. “The investigation is still active, but that is about all that we can release at this time.”
Arrests

Baptist South Hospital in Montgomery where he is listed in stable condition. A second subject Ladarrian Hardnett, 18, of Alexander City was transported by private vehicle to Russell Medical Center where he was treated and released. Barbour said they are still unsure what might have touched off the initial altercation. Officers from the Tallapoosa County Sheriffs Department, Jacksons Gap
and Camp Hill Police Departments assisted in the case, Barbour said. Barbour said the investigation is ongoing and that officials are working to identify a second suspect. “It is too early in the investigation to release much more than that,” Barbour said. “We are working with investigators from the District Attorney’s Office and we believe other arrests are pending in this case.”

The Benjamin Russell Wildcats claimed first place at the second annual Lake Martin Slam Fest, as they defeated the Stanhope Elmore Mustangs 65-54 on Wednesday. Jeff Hines, head coach of Benjamin Russell (5-12), said the Wildcats did a good job of defending Stanhope big man Zech Byrd. “I think our ability to take them out of their gameplan, which was very obviously to get the ball to No. 4 as much as they could, and I thought our guys did an outstanding job,” Hines said. “We had said going in that when he touched the ball we were going to double down, but first we were going to try to keep him away from the basket and keep our bodies between him and the basket. I thought that was a big plus for us and I thought our press hurt them.” Stanhope cut the Wildcat lead to eight points with seconds left before the half, but Benjamin Russell’s Tyre Gray hit a shot from beyond half court as time expired to send it into the break at 33-22. “We shot the ball well early, knocked some threes down, but I thought that run at the end of the first half may have been the difference in the ballgame,” Hines said. “Tyre hitting the three-quarter court shot for a three, I thought that was huge.” Coming out of the break, Stanhope cut it back to single digits with a jumper by KJ Stokes that made it 33-24. But the Wildcats responded with a 3-pointer from Quen Reese and a free throw from Gray that put it at 37-24 with 6:24 left in the third. Stanhope’s Quanaz Turner scored on back-to-back possessions to cut the BRHS lead down to 37-28 before Reese scored on a layup to extend it to 39-28 with 5:25 left in the third. Tamrik May answered with a layup for the Mustangs, but Alex Doss scored under the basket for BRHS to put the lead at 42-30 with 3:41 left. BRHS ended the third leading 46-36 as Stanhope never got within single digits the rest of the way. Gray led BRHS with 14 points, while Reese and Timmy Lawson each had 11 points. KJ Stokes led Stanhope with 14 points and Byrd added 12 points. Gray and Reese made the AllTournament team for BRHS. Despite their early-season struggles, Hines said the past few days have yielded tremendous progress for the Wildcats. And if they keep making steps forward, he said they could have tremendous success in the second half of the season. “I said way back when that I love this basketball team. May not like what we’re doing, but I love this team. For three straight days we have made posi-
tive steps,” Hines said. “You can see that our chemistry is unbelievably different from what it was the beginning of the year. If we can continue to progress, we’re going to be pretty good. But you can’t go into a practice or game and take a step back because that’s no good. We have to continue to move forward because if we don’t we’ll be right back where we started. I love this team, they come to work everyday, they want to be good, and they are taking those steps to be good.”
Reeltown 61, Dadeville 49
The Reeltown Rebels closed the Lake Martin Slam Fest with a 61-49 win over the rival Dadeville Tigers on Wednesday in Alexander City. Reeltown Coach Jonathan Gardner said the Rebels (3-4) put together a complete performance in Wednesday’s win. “We got out there and played a full game, not just showing up in one half, but competing in all four quarters,” Gardner said. “We shot the ball really well, but we’ve still got to work on boxing out. I think we’ll be good for area play because all of the teams we played were above our classification – we’ve played a 6A, 5A and 4A team here. So, we’re getting better.” Dadeville Coach Rodney Taylor said his team will go back to the drawing board. “We’ve got a lot of work to do,” Taylor said. CJ Bell led the Rebels with 23 points, Robert Hudson / The Outlook while Markez McCullough added 18 At top, the Wildcats celebrate their first-place finish. At bottom, Reeltown guard CJ Bell, points for Reeltown. Qua Tucker had 17 points for the right, drives to the basket against Dadeville’s Jonathan Hawkins during Wednesday’s game. Tigers (4-9).
What will Alabama do to wreck the Spartans’ season? R
emember when Georgia was 4-0, ranked eighth and folks believed the Bulldogs were bound for the playoffs and their first shot at a national championship since Jimmy Carter was president? Remember when Texas A&M was 5-0, ranked ninth and on the verge of challenging for its first SEC West championship since joining the conference in 2012? Remember when LSU was 7-0, ranked second and had its first Heisman Trophy winner since Billy Cannon took the honor in 1959? What happened? Alabama happened, that’s what. Three promising dreams were smacked back to reality on three separate, crimson-stained Saturdays. Once they faced Alabama, instead of challenging for championships,
JOE MCADORY
Sports Columnist
Georgia, LSU and Texas A&M limped to the regular season’s finish. The Crimson Tide (121), who plays Michigan State tonight in the Cotton Bowl/ playoff, has that effect on teams. Georgia wasn’t “man enough” for Alabama on Oct. 3. The Tide, still smarting from a surprise loss to Ole Miss two weeks earlier, simply beat the Bulldogs down, 38-10, with a perfect brand of football. Georgia lost two of its next three games – including a bitter defeat at Tennessee that saw star running back Nick Chubb
go down with a devastating knee injury. Rallying around a stiff defense and solid back-up running back Sony Michel, the Bulldogs rallied to win their final four regular season games, but wins over Kentucky, Auburn, Georgia Southern and Georgia Tech, not exactly world beaters, weren’t enough to save Mark Richt’s job. Instead of making the playoffs, Georgia earned a berth in the Taxslayer.com Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla. At least the venue is familiar. Texas A&M came into its Oct. 17 home game with Alabama with high hopes and a high-flying offense. Instead, Alabama returned three interceptions for touchdowns and thoroughly dominated the Aggies, 41-23. Since that day, Texas A&M finished the regu-
lar season 3-3 – scoring just 20 points in those three losses – had its top two quarterbacks transfer and its coach, Kevin Sumlin, is on the hot seat. The Aggies concluded their season in the Music City Bowl. The LSU-Alabama showdown Nov. 7 was expected to be college football’s version of a regular-season Super Bowl. Considering how many Super Bowls have been onesided in the past, then this one lived up to the billing. Alabama won, 30-16, but it felt like 30-0. Leonard Fournette, the Bayou Bengals’ Heisman sure-thing came into the game with 1,352 yards – with no games below 150 yards. That night in Bryant-Denny Stadium, Fournette was held to 31 yards on 19 carries. In contrast, Alabama’s Derrick Henry rushed for 210 yards and three
touchdowns – practically taking the Heisman Trophy away from Fournette in one night. Since that night, Fournette has rushed for 150 yards in a game just once (Texas A&M), and he needed 32 carries to do it. The Nov. 7 beat down was the beginning of a three-game skid for LSU, nearly costing Les Miles his job. Instead of winning the SEC and making the playoff, LSU earned a trip to the newfangled Texas Bowl. Now Michigan State, victors of the dramatic returned botched punt at Michigan, is in Alabama’s crosshairs. What will Alabama do to wreck the Spartans’ season?
