Tallapoosa County nears end of opioid lawsuit

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer Tallapoosa County will soon be settling lawsuits for opioid abuse with Janseen Pharmaceuticals and Johnson and Johnson.

The Tallapoosa County Commission authorized the commission chair George Carleton to finalize negotiations with the companies following an executive session with county attorney Thomas Radney.

The lawsuits are similar to hun-

dreds across the country where governments are seeking reimbursement of funds spent battling opioid addiction.

The commission also took up an economic development matter but made no decision after returning to normal session.

REVOLVING LOAN FUND The commission authorized $20,000 to commission a study to possibly create a fund to help small businesses through the Associa-

tion of County Commissions of Alabama’s (ACCA) Investing in Alabama Counties (IAC) program.

The IAC was created to help counties determine how to use American Rescue Program Act funds. Commissioner T.C. Coley wants to use some of the funds to help small businesses in Tallapoosa County.

• Scheduled a public hearing for 8:45 a.m. Monday, Aug. 11 for closing portions of Lindsey Place.

Property owners have signed a petition asking for the road to be closed.

Commissioner Steve Robinson was absent from the meeting.

The next meeting of the Tallapoosa County Commission is scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday, Aug. 8.

Songwriters Festival returns later this month The Lake Martin Songwriters Festival returns to the area for the second year later this month.

Jacksons Gap Mayor Frank Lucas said the city

has a founders celebration but the Saturday event was not related to anything the town does.

Lucas said the town doesn’t have ordinances to govern events such as the ‘Gap Day’ held by residents.

“We didn’t tell them they couldn’t do it,” Lucas said. “We don’t have a way to do this.”

Lucas said the event had inflatable slides for children and appeared to be a fun event.

“It looked like a good thing,” Lucas said. “We told them if they needed the police while the event was going to call.”

The Dadeville Record

The State of Hawaii is made up of a string of eight Islands in the Pacific Ocean: Kauai, Lanai, Maui, Oahu, Molokai, Hawaii, Niihau, and Kahoolawe. Hawaii was first settled by Polynesians who crossed the Oceans in canoes almost 1,800 years ago. Different Chiefs ruled the Islands, but in the 1700’s one Chief, Kamehameha, made himself King. The next people to make it to the Islands were the British in 1778. In 1893, American and European businessmen overthrew the ruling Polynesian Queen. In 1959, Hawaii became the last State to join the United States of America. Today there are over 1.42 million people living in the State. The Capital of Hawaii is Honolulu which is located on Oahu, the main Island of Hawaii. Hawaii is the largest of the eight Islands. (It is almost twice the size of the other Islands and is often referred to as the “Big Island.”) Each year the amount of land on Hawaii increases because volcanoes are still active on the Islands. With each eruption, more KIDZ from cooled lava. Many important products come from Hawaii, such as land is DR created flowers, pineapple, macadamia nuts, coffee, sugar, chickens and cattle. Local traditions include Lei Day which has occurred on the first day of May since 1928. The holiday was created by the American poet Don Blanding. A Lei is a ring of flowers, usually worn around the neck and tied together with string. Leis are a symbol of love and friendship and are given to symbolize peace. They are most often presented to visitors when arriving or leaving the Islands. Tourism has made this a very popular tradition at the airports in Hawaii.

Benjamin Russell makes third new football hire

By HENRY ZIMMER Spor ts Editor

By HENRY ZIMMER Spor ts Editor

Help on the Way/Slipknot! by The Grateful Dead is certainly not one of their best songs. In fact, on Spotify’s “This is Grateful Dead” playlist, it is the last song added. The song appears on the 1975 album Blues for Allah, an album only true fans will pay any attention to. However, the song has a line I have always liked, “Without love in a dream, it will never come true.”

Jerry Garcia and I do not have much ZIMMER in common, other than the fact that we cannot sing well. But I do have love in my dream, and that dream is to be a sports writer.

I started my writing career in high school, under the persistence of my 11th grade English teacher. I liked it, but never thought it could be my career. I applied for a sports writing position with The Plainsman, at Auburn University, thinking I was not even in the same galaxy as the students on the staff.

Two hours after applying, I got an email detailing the time and place of the first meeting. I wrote my first story that very week, an awful piece on a volleyball loss that never saw the light of day.

My editor at the time sat me down and showed me how to actually write professionally. From that moment on, I was hooked.

Fast forward four years and I was the sports editor for The Plainsman. I covered bowl games, away sporting events, professional athletes and everything in between. This was my dream coming true.

But once graduation came and went, the real world crept right up on me. I thought I had a job lined up, but that door closed, leaving me on my family’s living room couch wondering what to do.

With some good guidance and some good recommendations, I was given the information for The Outlook and my dream was back alive.

I started the Tuesday after the Fourth of July and have loved every second. Sure, it has taken me a minute to get back in the groove, but I feel right at home.

If you see me around, please say hello. If you want to talk about the Dead, certainly stop me. I have love in my dream to be a sports writer. I know I can and will provide this community with the best I have to offer. I hope to see you around on this long, strange trip.

Over the weekend, Benjamin Russell’s football team made another new hire.

On Saturday, the Wildcats hired veteran high school football coach Jason Simmons to be the school’s new defensive coordinator.

Simmons has spent the last 15 years as either a head coach or defensive coordinator, spending last

season as the defensive coordinator for Pell City.

His football journey first started out at Pelham, where he served as the defensive coordinator from 2008 to 2011. Simmons then spent 2012 to 2017 as the defensive coordinator for Austin High SIMMONS School, reaching two semi finals and a quarterfinals.

Simmons took his talents to Priceville High in 2018, taking over as head coach, before becoming the co-defensive coordinator for Oxford, winning the 2019 State Championship.

Simmons completes a string of three new hires for the Wildcats.

Benjamin Russell recently hired Smity Grider to take over as head coach, and the school hired Greg Crager on Friday to take over as offensive coordinator.

Benjamin Russell hires alumni as coach

By HENRY ZIMMER Spor ts Editor Benjamin Russell High School football has hired its fourth new coach, hiring BRHS alumni Morece Cotton as the outside linebackers coach.

Cotton graduated from BRHS in 2016 and was a part of the semifinals football team in 2015.

Since graduating, Cotton has made coaching stops at Central Tuscaloosa High and Paul W. Bryant High School.

Cotton is the third hire by newly appointed head coach Smitty Grider.

Grider and his staff have a quick turnaround, as the Wildcats are set to face off against Sylacauga on August 19.

Auburn, and Bryan Harsin, won’t make an appearance until the final day of the proceedings on Thursday. Media from all over the country will descend upon the Peach State to grill Harsin and his counterparts with a thousand relevant questions about the upcoming season and probably a few bizarre queries from out of left field. None of the 14 SEC teams enter 2022 without at least a couple of question marks pertaining to their roster or schedule. However, the Auburn Tigers have a few more unanswered questions than I typically like heading into this time of year. Again, that doesn’t mean they’re a whole lot different than anyone else. It just means they rarely take into account my mental state when it comes to making decisions. Go figure.

REELTOWN FOOTBALL TO HOST YOUTH FOOTBALL CAMP

By HENRY ZIMMER Spor ts Editor

T

he Reeltown Rebels football team is set to host a youth football camp at Nix Webster O’Neal Stadium on July 23.

The free of charge camp will run from 8:30 to 11 a.m. and will include lunch for camp attendees.

Reeltown’s football camp will also fea-

ture a special guest, Auburn football’s own Zac Etheridge.

Etheridge is currently in his second season at Auburn and is serving as the secondary coach and associate head coach for the Tigers. In 2010, Etheridge served as a team captain for Auburn’s national championship team.

For questions or for more information, contact LD Bell or Reeltown head coach Matt Johnson.

Former Alabama linebacker to host youth football camp at Dadeville High School

By HENRY ZIMMER Spor ts Editor Anfernee Jennings, former Alabama linebacker and current New England Patriot, is set to host a youth football camp on July 16, from 5 to 8 p.m.

The camp is free and open to girls

and boys grades first through ninth and will be held at Jennings’s alma mater, Dadeville High School.

The two time College Football Playoff National Champion said he is excited for the opportunity to give back to his hometown community.

“I’m incredibly blessed to be in a situation where I can give back

and help young men and women in my hometown,” Jennings said. “The Dadeville community played a vital role in my life both on and off the football field and I cherish my memories there.”

controversy. As of today, the Tigers have three true contenders at quarterback (Zach Calzada, TJ Finley & Robby Ashford) who will battle it out during fall practice to see who becomes the leader of the team. Whoever wins the job could very well be spectacular and I desperately hope they will be, but it’s a complete unknown at the moment. Unanswered question #1.

Nick Brahms is a 5th-year SR and has around 40 SEC games of experience at the center position. He’s about as good as anyone in the league. SR Brandon Council, JR Keiondre Jones and SR Alec Jackson are all big, strong and experienced at the guard position.

SR Kameron Stutts has even been turning heads in summer workouts. I don’t know what the rotation will be, but I feel great about the interior offensive line. Of course, the bookend tackle positions are pretty important as well and that’s when things get hazy. SR Austin Troxell has played a lot of football and he has the scars from three separate knee surgeries to prove it. Transfer Killian Zierer came on late last year after recovering from his own knee injury and showed real promise. Transfer Brenden Coffey has also had his opportunities, but could never grab hold of the job. Alec Jackson has also played tackle at times as well. Who will it be at these critical positions? Unanswered question #2.

Zakoby McClain was a tackling machine at linebacker last year and Chandler Wooten was solid and steady on the outside. They’re gone. SR Owen Pappoe is back healthy and brings a wealth of experience with 165 tackles in his career. JR Wesley Steiner and JR Cam Riley both got valuable snaps last season, but are they up to the challenge? Will the UNC transfer make a difference? Unanswered question #3.

Wide receivers Kobe Hudson and Demetris Robertson who accounted for more than 80 catches and 1000 yards receiving are gone. SR Shed Jackson returns with a lot of experience and production, but it’s pretty sparse outside of JR Ja’Varrius Johnson after that. Will the transfers from LSU and Miami pay huge dividends? Will a dynamic freshman explode onto the scene? Unanswered question #4.

Team USA softball shines in Sunday doubleheader, moves to 3-0 at 2022 World Games

By HENRY ZIMMER Spor ts Editor After rain delayed Team USA softball’s opening game against Italy on Saturday, the American contingency took down both the Italitains and Chinese Taipei in a Sunday doubleheader.

Team USA bested Italy 6-0 in the first game of the doubleheader, then run-ruled Chinese Taipei 7-0 in six innings.

Team USA softball has two Alabama Crimson Tide standouts on its roster in Montana Fouts and Haylie McCleney, who both put up strong performances on Sunday.

McCleney started things off for Team USA against Italy, as she reached base on a walk. After a bases loaded single and some solid batting, Team USA found itself comfortably ahead 4-0 in the first inning.

In the fourth, McCleney hit a deep sac-fly that scored a runner, putting the team up 5-0.

In the bottom of the fifth, Fouts took the circle to a great ovation from the Birmingham crowd. The four-year player for the Crimson Tide struck out three in a row and sent Team USA back to the plate.

Two-outs in the sixth, an infield error and a walk put runners in scoring position and threatened the USA shutout. Fouts was not phased however, as she struck out the following batter, stranding the Italians on the basepath.

Fouts closed out the game in the seventh, striking out two before giving up a two-out single. As was the case in the sixth inning with runners on, Fouts stood tall and struck out the following batter, closing out the game for Team USA. In game two, Team USA found the victory through a full team effort.

It took them getting to the bottom of the second inning to strike first this time, going up 1-0 before finishing the inning with two more runs, pushing the lead to 3-0.

In the fourth Team USA went up

5-0, and that score would stay until McCleney made contact in the sixth and sent a runner home, putting the team up 6-0 and one run away from the run-rule.

Another run would score in the sixth for Team USA and the run-rule was secure, besting Chinese Taipei 7-0. McCleney had two hits in the game, and Fouts did not appear.

The Red, White and Blue combined for 21 hits over the weekend, good for a total of 13 runs. Team USA’s pitching staff allowed zero runs and struck out a combined 28 batters.

The world No. 1 Team USA closed out its Opening Round on Monday with a run-rule victory against No. 3 Canada 10-2 in five innings.

Group A’s top seed Team USA will face off against Group B’s No. 2 seed Australia in the semifinal round Tuesday at 7 p.m. CT. The Semifinal and Medal Rounds will be broadcast live on CBS Sports Network.

Troy lands former Reeltown High School standout

By HENRY ZIMMER Spor ts Editor Last week, former South Carolina Gamecock Eric Shaw announced his commitment to Troy.

Shaw, from Reeltown, was one of the nation’s best players coming out of Reeltown High School.

Labeled as a “four-star athlete” by 247Sports.com and a four-star tight end by Rivals, the dynamic pass catcher had offers from about every major school, including Auburn and Troy.

Shaw was ranked as the No. 7 athlete in the country and No. 10 overall player in the state of Alabama during his senior year by 247Sports.com.

Listed at 6’5, 212 pounds, Shaw played both tight end and wide receiver at University of South Carolina, much as he did at Reeltown.

Shaw played tight end, wide receiver and linebacker in high school, and helped Reeltown to a Class 2A State Runner-Up as a senior. He also earned AlabamaMississippi All-Star Game honors.

In Shaw’s first season with the Gamecocks, he appeared in eight games as a tight end on special teams but did not record a stat. He then transitioned to a linebacker, before going back to his true position as a wide receiver in 2021.

Injuries kept Shaw sidelined and he chose to redshirt in 2021.

Shaw comes into Troy with four years of eligibility remaining.

County schools represent Tallapoosa area at state education conference

By WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Repor ter Members of The Tallapoosa County Schools will be participating in the ALSDE Mega Conference this week in preparation for the upcoming school year.

The school district’s board of education, central office staff as well as school administrators and teachers will be traveling to Mobile for the six-day professional development conference.

Between July 8-15, the Alabama State Department of Education Mega Conference will provide Alabama educators with opportunities to engage in meaning-

ful discussions, attend in-depth training sessions, and learn from leading experts in fields across the educational spectrum.

The conference will include guest speakers and experts from across Alabama, including from Tallapoosa County. In fact, Dadeville Elementary School staff will represent the school district as part of a panel discussion on reading comprehension.

The school was recognized by the ALSDE State Board of Education at the department’s June monthly meeting for their reading program, and the school’s staff will provide a presentation about the success that was achieved.

Dadeville Elementary School received special recognition from state officials in March as well for the school’s drastic improvement in reading test scores.

State officials specifically from the Alabama Reading Initiative (ARI) selected Dadeville Elementary School along with 21 schools across the state for their great teaching practices in K-12 education.

At the time, Principal Diane Miller said that state education officials visited the school to observe and assess the school’s operations, specifically as it relates to student engagement, classroom instruction and administrative leadership.

New Reeltown Elementary open house likely early August

By WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Repor ter Construction on the new Reeltown Elementary School is now officially in the final stages with an overhead inspection planned early next week, according to school leaders.

Superintendent Ray Porter announced that the upcoming inspection would take place on Monday, July 18. He notified the board of education of the inspection during a regularly called meeting late last week.

With construction nearly complete, Porter added that he now feels comfortable with discussing

potential dates for the campus’ open house so that students and their families may tour the facilities.

“If that passes then we will tentatively have the open house on August 3, but the most important word in that sentence is tentatively, we’ve not finalized that,” Porter said.

The open house would mark a significant milestone for the school district and bring a nearly two-year development project to a close.

Construction began in 2020 when Tallapoosa County Schools approved a multi-million-dollar contract to replace the Reeltown Elementary schoolhouse with a larger facility. Built in 1929, school leaders feel the current building has out-

grown its outdated technology and architecture and exceeded its capacity as the student population continues to expand.

The completion of the new building has prompted school leaders to discuss the fate of the current Reeltown Elementary school, which will soon be vacant. The board of education is currently debating uses for the older schoolhouse, and is considering taking proposals from the public.

The school, which provides instruction for grades K-3 grade, is likely to begin transitioning students to the new facilities in the next few weeks in preparation for the 2022-23 school year.

State Bar honors retired Circuit Court Judge

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer Judge Howard F. Bryan IV served the citizens of the Fifth Judicial Circuit of Chambers, Macon, Tallapoosa and Randolph counties for three decades.

Bryan was recognized for fifty years of membership in the Alabama State Bar at its 145th Annual

meeting.

“As Presiding Judge of the Fifth Judicial Circuit and on behalf of the judges, attorneys, courthouse staff and everyone who works in our court system, we congratulate Judge Bryan on being recognized on his 50-year anniversary as a member of the Alabama State Bar,” Judge Issac Wharton said. “Judge Bryan’s decades of faithful service to the citizens of the

Fifth Judicial Circuit are part of a legacy that we are proud to honor.”

Bryan was in private practice for several years before his appointment as Chambers County District Judge in 1977. He was then appointed to be a Circuit Judge in 1980 and served the people of the Fifth Judicial Circuit, comprising Chambers, Macon, Tallapoosa and Randolph counties, until his retirement in 2007.

• Alexander City Outlook • Dadeville Record • Wetumpka Herald • Eclectic Observer • Tallassee Tribune

Based on test scores, Miller had observed an increase in students scoring higher in reading comprehension during the school’s benchmark tests during the most recent school year.

In addition to that panel, other discussions will focus on such areas as: promoting social and emotional growth among students, the incorporation of technology in education, and expanding educational opportunities in Alabama’s rural areas.

Both early-learning and special-needs education will also be a priority as well as addressing equity, inclusion, and opportunity issues among students.

Town hall Wednesday night on city’s downtown buildings

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer More discussions will be had to determine the fate of the old Alexander City City Hall and police department.

Wednesday night the public is invited to share and talk about ideas for the two buildings left vacant as city operations were consolidated at the municipal complex.

While renovations were underway at the municipal complex and the city still occupied the buildings, the city advertised requests for proposals (RFP) and just recently the city requested proposals again.

The Alexander City City Council and city leaders said in September 2020 it wanted to move quickly on doing something with the buildings as the move to the municipal complex was completed.

Mayor Woody Baird said last month the city hasn’t received any RFPs. Since then several people and businesses have inquired about presenting RFPs. City leaders have said they will basically give the buildings away to those with a plan and financial means to save the buildings.

Before the pandemic costs were estimated to be nearly $6 million just to bring the buildings up to code and demolition costs were approximately $400,000.

The town hall meeting at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday in the United Way Conference Room on Main Street will be another opportunity for the public join in discussions and present ideas.

The city has received ideas since bringing the issue up last month.

One idea is to use the buildings to give middle and high school students a place to go. The idea is to create an environment for teens and also create a center for battered and abused women and children.

Another idea is to tear down the old city hall since it’s a hodgepodge of construction over 100 years old in some cases and to use the old police station as a boutique, hotel, craft brewery, professional space and retail.

One idea wants to create a new building in place of the old city hall for restaurants, retail, hotel or apartments.

Another idea is to tear both buildings down and create an all encompassing arts building for productions both local and travel.

No plans for redevelopment or destruction have been approved by the Alexander City City Council yet.

Country singer Adam Hood coming to town

“For the School Rocks Backpack Giveaway to reach its tenth edition is truly monumental for all of us at Round Room, TCC and Wireless Zone. This event is now an annual staple in communities nationwide and we couldn’t be more proud of how much we’ve been able to positively impact students these last ten years,” said Scott Moorehead, CEO of Round Room, Verizon’s largest authorized retailer. “The rising costs of school supplies have made it immensely difficult for many families to adequately prepare their children each school year.

Our goal is to alleviate these challenges for as many families as we can through this annual give back event.”

Backpacks are first come first serve while supplies last and only one bag will be given per child.

After getting their new bag full of school supplies, families can also enter into a $10,000 college scholarship sweepstakes for children in grades K-12. Five scholarships will be given to randomly selected winners who enter the sweepstake.

Verizon retailers in other areas of the state will also be participating in the School Rocks Backpack Giveaway, including the Tallassee Verizon store at 431 Gilmer Avenue.

Country music artist Adam Hood is coming back home to Alabama later this month for a special concert in Alexander City.

The Opelika-native will be performing at Russell Crossroads on July 29 and Chuck’s Marina on July 30, promoting his fifth studio album, ‘Bad Days Better’, recorded at Capricorn Studios in Macon, Georgia. The album features ten songs created in collaboration with members of Blackberry Smoke and Brent Cobb as producer.

For more than two decades, Adam Hood has created music onstage and in the writing room, carving out a southern sound that mixes soul, country, and American roots music into the same package.

“It’s southern music,” he said. “That’s what it represents: the soulful side of southern music, the country-side of southern music, the genuineness of southern culture, and the way I grew up. One of the t-shirts I sell at every show simply says ‘Southern songs’ and that’s a good summary of what I do. It’s what I’ve al-

ways done.”

Hood has delved into every aspect of the music industry from being a frontman to a behind-the-scenes songwriter and now a solo artist. It all began in Opelika, just 40 miles away

from Alexander City.

Raised by working-class parents, Hood started playing hometown shows as a 16 yearold, landing a weekly residency at a local restaurant. He’d perform there every Friday and

Saturday night, filling his set list with songs by John Hiatt, Steve Warner, Hank Williams Jr, and Vince Gill.

Today, dozens of artists have recorded Hood’s songs and collaborated with him, including Little Big Town, Miranda Lambert, Travis Tritt, Riley Green, Whiskey Myers, Anderson East, Frankie Ballard, Josh Abbott Band, Lee Ann Womack and Brent Cobb.

As the years progressed, Hood’s gigs have continued — not only in Alabama, but across the entire country. Hood plays around 100 shows annually, and is now returning to Alabama to perform in the city just ‘across the lake’ from his home.

“This festival is a full circle event for me,” Hood said.

“My father‘s family is from the area. I grew up on the lake and spent my younger years playing covers at the rodeo club, so this festival is a special experience. I’m grateful for the opportunity to share my music with the people that live in the area that I’m so fond of.”
