Floating fundraiser on the river is a big hit By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

A floating fundraiser on the Tallapoosa River Saturday proved to be a hit for those R who w participated and for the family it was aiming to help. a More than 100 boats were in the river Saturday for the “Floating By Faith On The S Tallapoosa,” which was sponsored by the T Skint Back Floating Club. S All proceeds from the event will go to the Chase Clayton family, which has endured C

several setbacks recently. Event organizer Lynn Thornton said between the donations by the boaters who put in at Horseshoe Bend and the horseshoe event at the take-out point at Jaybird Landing, the group raised about $2,000 for the family. “We can’t thank all the people who came out enough,” Thornton said. “It was a great time and it wouldn’t have been possible without so many people helping us out.”

You may have noticed a little something extra in your Alexander City utility bills this month as officials included a pamphlet called “Cease the Grease” to all customers. The pamphlet features information that Alexander City Sewer Department Director John McWhorter hopes will alert residents to a problem that is causing the city a lot of problems, not to mention costing his department time and money. The problem is grease buildup in the city’s sewer pipes, sludge often so thick that it causes backups into yards and sometimes into homes. McWhorter said he hopes a little education will prompt people to think before they pour grease of any type down the drain. “I’ve seen 6-inch pipes that, because of grease build up, had an opening less than the size of your little finger,” McWhorter said. “People think that because they run a little hot water behind it that it’s not a problem. The truth is, all that does is move the problem a little farther down the line. Sooner or later that backup will make its way back See GREASE, Page 9

By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

A Saturday night break-in at Stephens Elementary School resulted in “several thousand dollars in damage” to doors and windows in the school’s lunchroom and administrative offices, but nothing of consequence was taken, according to Dr. Darrell Cooper, Superintendent of Alexander City Schools. “The only thing we could see that they took was a set of cheap walkie-talkies,” said Cooper. “Other than that, they did a good bit of damage, breaking windows and messing up doors.” See BURGLARY, Page 9

DEAR ABBY: I am a partially disabled person in my 70s. Because of arthritis in my spine and hip, I’m able to stand for only a few minutes and walk only 20 to 30 feet. When I know I am going to be someplace that requires more walking or standing, I use my wheelchair. My question is: How do I reply to strangers who ask me, “Why are you in a wheelchair?” One lady said, “Oh, is it your knees?” I feel the questions are rude, and I shouldn’t have to explain my medical status to people I don’t know. I try to mumble something about not being able to stand for long periods, like waiting in line. But I’d really like to respond with a funnier, more flippant reply if I could think of one.

Our

Opinion

It’s time for state lawmakers to do the job we hired them to do

he Special Session of the Alabama Legislature began Monday. As of press time, there was no news, but many also expected that it would end Monday with Sen. Del Marsh set to ask that the state Senate adjourn until Aug. 3 before considering Gov. Robert Bentley’s proposals to raise $310 million in various taxes to fix the shortfall in the state’s general fund budget. Generating by far the most revenue from among the governor’s proposals would be the elimination of the state income tax deduction for Federal Insurance Contributions Act – or FICA as its likely listed on your paycheck – which, according to Bentley would only affect the state’s highest earners. He’s also proposing a soft drink tax and a reasonable cigarette tax, among others. Those don’t necessarily sound like a bad proposals, but what sounds far worse to us is Marsh’s plan to put off any work on the governor’s plan for another three weeks. It’s not like this particular session of the Legislature has earned any historical preeminence thus far. And now this? From where we sit our elected representatives should go as quickly and ably as possible to the business of doing what they ran for and were elected to office to do: the work of the people. We realize that our legislators are people, that they have families and that they desire time off. But, if they fail to get their work done, there are an awful lot of folks – largely state employees – that will be spending all there time with their families and all their time off due for all the wrong reasons. Not only that, but our state will be less safe and provide less necessary services. And, ladies and gentlemen of the Legislature, that’s not why we elected you. Respectfully, we offer this advice to you. Get to work!

Could ‘The Reverend’ still be in the works?

t’s a story that almost writes itself. And, for a time, we’ve thought one of the most celebrated writers of our era was working on it. And she may be – or have been. As booklovers everywhere are scooping up their copies of “Go Set A Watchman,” folks here in Alexander City, particularly the family of the late Tom Radney, are left to wonder what happened to “The Reverend,” the retelling of the curious case of William Maxwell, Radney and Robert Burns that Pulitzer Prize-winning author Harper Lee was thought to be working on for years. In the time after Lee made her sojourn to Alexander City to do her research and interviews on the Maxwell case, Radney is said to have continually prodded her about the book, checked periodically on her progress and, supposedly, he was normally met with upbeat updates from the extremely private author. Still, there’s no book and since that time, Lee has gone on record with Robert Burns and others that there won’t be. In 1987, she penned a letter to the late Auburn University writer-in-residence Madison Jones explaining all the reasons that the research into the case was problematic to pursue. Everyone she wanted or needed to talk to wanted money, she said. Radney was generous and kind, but a strange bird psychologically, she said. Then, she added to Jones that she hoped she had been “sufficiently discouraging.”

DAVID GRANGER Columnist

Things that make you go, “Hmmmmmmm.” While Lee may have been on the up and up in the letter to Jones, is there also the possibility that she wanted to both be responsive to a fellow author but, at the same time, protective of what she saw as her literary turf? I had a conversation with former Auburn University at Montgomery English professor Nancy Grisham Anderson on Monday, just prior to her leaving to do a round of presentations on Lee and “Watchman.” Anderson is an expert on and acquaintance of Lee and, as such, knows many others who have known the author well. She told me that someone in the Lee family – likely Lee’s sister Louise – told mutual acquaintance Wayne Flynt that she had read “The Reverend” and it was better than “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Meanwhile, the Radney family – primarily his granddaughter, Madolyn Price – and their ally, Casey Cep, a writer for The New Yorker, continue to try and wrest from Lee and/ or her representatives (primarily her attorney Tonja Carter) Tom Radney’s papers, which were lent to Lee for her research purposes. They have met with no success. (Coincidentally, Anderson told me that former Outlook journalist Jim Earnhardt, who covered the Maxwell case and the Burns trial

while a young reporter here, had lent his notes on both to Lee and that the author had not returned those, either.) Also, the story of the discovery of “Go Set A Watchman” is a strange one. Carter supposedly found it in the fall of 2014 among Lee’s archives, attached to an early typewritten manuscript of “To Kill A Mockingbird.” Then, just last week The New York Times reported that Sotheby’s rare-book expert Justin Caldwell came across the “Watchman” manuscript in 2011 at a meeting Carter also attended. London’s The Guardian newspaper tried to reach Carter for comment on the Times account, but couldn’t. However, Lee’s publisher, HarperCollins, commented, “HarperCollins was first informed of the discovery of the manuscript of ‘Go Set A Watchman’ by Tonja Carter and (literary agent) Andrew Nurnberg in 2014. We were not aware of the 2011 meeting, however we have no reason not to believe Tonja Carter’s account.” It’s also interesting to note that, at the time of the 2011 meeting, Alice Lee was still serving as Harper Lee’s attorney. Carter became the author’s legal representative when Alice died in November 2014 at age 103. The announcement of her finding “Watchman” came three months later. Without doubt, the case of William Maxwell is curious. And the case of Harper Lee grows curiouser. Wouldn’t they make the perfect literary couple? David Granger is a staff writer with The Outlook.

Getting the message out about dangers of pot

hannon Murphy, M.D. practiced as a general pediatrician at Birmingham Pediatrics at St. Vincent’s for more than 10 years, but when she realized the message getting out to families and kids about marijuana was becoming muddled, her career path changed. Through her new statewide initiative, Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM), she speaks to area schools. We spoke with Murphy about marijuana and how parents can talk to their kids about it. Why talk about marijuana? Why now? What if your child came home one day and told you some friends at school had started experimenting with pot? They go on to tell you that a few states have legalized it and it’s really not a big deal anymore. Would you know what to tell them? This situation is becoming more common as states across the country begin to consider legislation which legalizes marijuana. Currently four states – Alaska, Oregon, Washington and Colorado – and the District of Columbia have legalized recreational marijuana for those 21 years or older. What should parents tell their kids? Is marijuana suddenly OK? According to the experts, marijuana remains addictive and harmful, especially to the adolescent brain. The American Academy of Pediatrics recently joined with other medical and scientific organizations to state its opposition to legalization of marijuana because of the potential harm to children and adolescents. Has marijuana changed over the past decades? The truth is that the marijuana of today is five times stronger than the marijuana of years past. Levels of THC, the psychoactive component of the

DEBBIE CAMPBELL Guest columnist

drug, which previously hovered around 3 percent, now averages closer to 15 percent and recently PBS reported levels as high as 36 percent. Some marijuana concentrates (hash oil) can actually be as high as 90 percent THC. As the plant has become stronger, so have the negative health impacts. Research has shown marijuana has harmful effects on intelligence, mental health, lungs and the heart. What can we tell kids about how marijuana can affect them? Marijuana has a dumbing down effect. It impairs learning, memory, coordination and attention. A 2012 study showed that regular users of marijuana at an early age dropped their IQ an average 6-8 points. Additionally, scientific studies have shown a connection between marijuana use and mental illness. Links have been discovered to anxiety, depression, psychosis and schizophrenia. The American Lung Association reports that marijuana has a greater number of carcinogens than tobacco smoke. CardioSource, a major cardiology newsletter, reports a link between marijuana use and major cardiac events. Does age have anything to do with marijuana’s effects? How long do its effects last? The earlier a person starts using marijuana and the longer he or she uses it, the greater the health risk. Since marijuana actually stays in the body an average of

seven to 10 days, it has an additional risk to the public at large. Although the acute high from marijuana only lasts a few hours, research has shown that the user may remain impaired for days following ingestion. This poses a significant potential threat to the public in regards to safety issues as it relates to driving and the workplace. Is there any information on the results of legalized marijuana? According to recent data from the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services, use among 12-year-olds and older is now up to 12.7 percent in Colorado, the second-highest rate in the nation. Rocky Mountain HIDTA (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas) reports traffic fatalities involving drivers who are positive for marijuana are up 100 percent from 2007 to 2012. Hospitalizations secondary to marijuana use are up 82 percent. The most concerning data is from Arapahoe House, a Colorado-based substance abuse network, which reports that adolescent admissions for marijuana use are up by 66 percent from 2011 to 2014. How would you summarize what parents should tell their kids? If kids start asking questions, parents need to speak strongly and tell them the message has not changed. Marijuana use is still addictive and harmful and its use has serious consequences. As for the rest of the country, be very cautious. The wrong message may be getting out to ur children.

Arrest

continued from page 1

Officials at the jail said that bond had been posted and Crayton was released. As of Friday, officials said that Crayton was still employed by the school system. Tallapoosa County Board of Education Superintendent Joe Windle said that they reported the allegations as soon as they became aware of the possibility and turned the investigation over to the sheriff’s department. “You know more than I do,” Windle said, when asked about Monday’s arrest. “We were just made aware of the charges. We will have more information about the next steps as soon as we have seen the results of the investigation and consult with legal counsel to make sure we are doing what is outlined by policy and the law.” Abbett did confirm that the investigation was launched after it was reported by school officials after there were made aware of the possibility of inappropriate behavior by Crayton in the spring. The two charges are part of new state laws that deal with inappropriate conduct by school employees. Statute 13A-

The Outlook

6-81, which reads “School employee engaging in a sex act or deviant sexual intercourse with a student under the age of 19 years” is a Class B felony. The code gives a graphic legal definition of “deviant sexual intercourse,” but it was inappropriate for publication here. Statute 13A-6-82, school employee having sexual contact with a student under the age of 19 years, says that “sexual contact means any touching of the sexual or other intimate parts of a student, done for the purpose of gratifying the sexual desire of either party. The term includes soliciting or harassing a student to perform a sex act.” The crime is a Class A misdemeanor. Abbett did not release any details as to where or when the incidents are alleged to have occurred. No details about the student or students involved were made public, due to the fact that the investigation is ongoing and the allegations have not been presented to a grand jury. Crayton has worked at Horseshoe Bend, Dadeville and Councill Middle School in his time with the system.

The board had two executive sessions. In the first, they heard from Reeltown special education teacher Debra Gunn. The session lasted nearly 90 minutes with the board taking no action afterwards. The second lasted only 27 minutes to discuss possible legal matters and good name and character of an employee. Again, the board took no action after returning to the regular meeting. Like many boards across the state who wish to have a say in the charter school process, the Tallapoosa County Board of Education approved a resolution establishing itself as the Charter School Authorizer in the county. “We want to make sure that we have a say in the charter school process in the county,” Windle explained to the board. “This way we make sure of what is in the charter. The other way, the state gets the only say.” Parents of three students in Macon County addressed the board asking why some students from Macon County are allowed to go to Reeltown and not others since the students are zoned for a failing school under the No

Child Left Behind. Windle said he would check with the Reeltown principal on the matter. The board approved the hiring of several teachers across the county. Those moves included:  At Horseshoe Bend: Kyle Caldwell, physical education teacher who will also serve as basketball coach, Candice Johnson as teacher, Laura Kate Blue as teacher, Crystal Morris in special education.  At Dadeville Elementary School Lauren Rawls in preK. At Councill Middle School, Patrick Browning in special education.  At Dadeville High School Roy Ryan in physical education and Chelsea Hollis in ELA.  The board approved the transfer of Willie Hall to custodian at Horseshoe Bend, Shakonda Wheeler to lunch room manager at Horseshoe Bend, Irvin Cox to paraprofessional at Crossroads Alternative School, Cindy Baker to SIMS operator at Reeltown High School and Randy O’Steen to teacher at Dadeville Elementary School.  The board accepted the resignations of Sabrina Milligan at

Dadeville High School, Coday Eiland at Dadeville High School and Lucy Moseley at Dadeville High School. The board also:  approved minutes from teh May 26 and June 8 meetings. approved payment of the bills from June 2015  approved the monthly financial report. The next meeting of the Tallapoosa County Board of Education is a work session August 4 at 5 p.m. and regular meeting August 10 at 5 p.m.

Horoscope

JACQUELINE BIGARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STARS ARIES (March 21-April 19) --Honor a sense of feeling drained. It might be best to spend some time at home relaxing. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always go-go-go, as if you were a machine. Follow your instincts, and you will land well. A child or loved one will be delighted to see you. Tonight: Make you your No. 1 priority. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --Your smile and expression tells others where you stand on certain matters. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be quite content with an offer heading your way. A partner might express sarcasm, possibly because of jealousy. Be nice anyway. Tonight: Visit over dinner, and talk through a problem. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --Double-check all your Âżnancial dealings, and make sure there are no errors. This cautious attitude needs to transfer over to counting your change as well. A boss might make a suggestion that appeals to you, but ultimately might not be as clear as you would like. Tonight: Pay bills. CANCER (June 21-July 22) --You are far more direct than many people realize. Your moodiness sometimes confuses others, as you tend to say one thing yet do another. Curb spending and overindulgence. If you can walk a moderate path, you will be able to avoid a problem. Tonight: Free yourself up. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --Use today for reĂ&#x20AC;ecting on a recent decision and for making a new opportunity possible. You are full of fun, but take some time off to recharge your batteries. Take your time; this downtime is important to you and your wellbeing. Tonight: Say little right now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --You are at a point where you can change a difÂżcult situation quite easily, if that is your desire. You have pushed very hard to be acknowledged. You might be taken aback by some awkwardness between you and another person. Let it go.

Tonight: Where the crowds are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) --A dear friend might entice you to spend more than you want. Listen to news more openly than you have in the past, especially if it is coming from a respected authority Âżgure. Stay more in touch with a situation that has Âżnancial implications. Tonight: Accept a gift graciously. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) --Share a new outlook about a touchy situation. You might want to distance yourself from this problem even more after seeing someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction. A friend will express his or her appreciation for your caring. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll sense a new beginning. Tonight: Be near great music. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) --A partner or a close loved one might want to discuss an important Âżnancial matter. You could get cranky and become quite difÂżcult. Even if you try to express your authentic appreciation, the other party might judge it as being false. Tonight: Follow the leader. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --You easily could become quite uptight in a situation where you see a partner or loved one pull back and try to make what he or she wants happen. You will notice that others support this person. You might want to acquiesce to his or her will. Tonight: Go along with the program. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) --You might have a lot to do, but after the past few playful days, you could be more than ready to clear out some paperwork or tackle a project that has been on the back burner. Allow another serious-minded person to share more of his or her ideas. Tonight: Be spontaneous. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) --Observe the creativity around you, and encourage this type of thinking. Your ability to take information and use it differently from how others do will help you Âżnd solutions easily. Others seek you out when they have a problem. Tonight:

Grease

River

continued from page 1 Thornton singled out Ranger Heather Tussin who helped with traffic control at Horseshoe Bend and Jason Meigs who helped with transportation and the shuttling of participants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That family has been through a lot and we hope that this helps out in some way,â&#x20AC;? Thornton said.

to you.â&#x20AC;? McWhorter said that greasy clogs cause sewage to back up into homes and even to overflow into the streets, rivers, streams and lakes in our community. That raw wastewater can contain disease-causing bacteria and create health hazards McWhorter said the remedy is pretty simple and offered these tips: â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pour fats, oil, or grease from cooking down the drain of any sink. â&#x20AC;˘ Pour grease and drippings into an empty soup or vegetable can or another disposable container, such as a milk or juice carton, and throw it in your regular household garbage can once it has cooled. â&#x20AC;˘ Before washing dishes and pans coated with grease, wipe them with a paper towel. â&#x20AC;˘ Rinse dishes and pans with cold water before putting them into the dishwasher. â&#x20AC;˘ Cooled, non-liquid grease, greasy paper towels, etc., can be disposed in a municipal solid waste landfill. Even though residential grease is still a problem, McWhorter said that the issue is better than in the past. A big part of

that is the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grease ordinance, which has been in effect since January 2010. It requires most restaurants to have a grease trap or interceptor installed and for the trap to be cleaned every 90 days or when it is 25 percent full â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whichever comes first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is making a difference, but when we can make a dramatic reduction on the residential side, we feel it will really make an impact,â&#x20AC;? McWhorter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that people are deliberately trying to do anything wrong. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen this done forever. You cook some bacon and turn on the hot water and just pour the grease down the drain under the hot water. We all saw our mothers do it.â&#x20AC;? McWhorter said that if people would remember that those who pour grease down their drains likely are the first ones affected by sewer backups, they may be more likely to change their ways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But knowing what we know now and seeing the damage done, it only makes sense to dispose of it properly,â&#x20AC;? McWhorter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps us obviously, but it can also save you some trouble, especially if it were to backup in your lines where a plumber would have to be called in to handle the problem.

Burglary

continued from page 1

Cooper said all indications were that the burglars were looking for money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it looked like, that they were looking for money,â&#x20AC;? Cooper said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They concentrated on the lunchroom offices and the administrative offices where they thought they might find some money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fortunately, we just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep money in any of our schools here in Alexander City. We make deposits daily. Anyone looking for money in

one of our schools is looking in the wrong place.â&#x20AC;? Cooper said the break-in was discovered on Sunday morning when a school employee stopped by Stephens to do some preparatory work for the Summer Feeding Program that the school hosts. Cooper said the Alexander City Police Department was investigating the break-in, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever catch the person or persons that did it.â&#x20AC;?

Remembering the late, great Kenny Stabler

‘IT’S ALWAYS HOME’

Oakland Raiders’ Tuck returns to Coosa to offer tips, life lessons

alented players come and go through college football. Specifically, through the SEC. More specifically, through Alabama. Fans today will always adore guys like Mark Ingram or AJ McCarron. Some others will smile at the mere mention of the single name mention of Javy, Julio or Amari. But how often do players transcend time and translate their greatness to generations that can only relive their accomplishments through grainy film footage? One, maybe two guys every 25-30 years? We could debate who would be on such a list, but I don’t think there would be an argument that Kenny “Snake” Stabler would make it. When Snake passed away last week, it set off a wave of emotions across the football world. For a guy like me – who wasn’t alive when Stabler did his college damage and was too young to appreciate his pro achievements – my first question after hearing and seeing so many posthumous tributes was, “Ummm… Why wasn’t Snake celebrated more when he was alive?!?” I had seen “The Run in Mud” game starring Stabler against Auburn. I had heard of the “Ghost to the Post” and “Sea of Hands” contests which are among NFL Film royalty. I just didn’t appreciate them like I should have nor realize their significance. Certainly it is easy (and respectful) now to remember Stabler ONLY for his on-field greatness without so much as a peep about some of his off-field escapades. I simply never understood exactly how good the gun-slinging QB from south Alabama was until it was too late. Check this stat out: From his first start at Alabama until his last start as an Oakland Raider, Stabler held a record of 126-30-4. That, people, is ridiculous. In football-dom, it is practically Divine. I didn’t even include his fantastic record (29-1) as a high school starter at Foley by the way. Stabler was the epitome of an American winner. A talented rebel who worked hard, partied harder and sometimes blurred the line in-between. A coach may want to discipline him for sending the wrong message during down time, but he always wanted his leadership in primetime. The Snake may have famously “read his playbook by the light of the jukebox,” but he never had an issue being ready for game day. Hall of Fame guard Gene Upshaw once said about Stabler, “When we were behind in the fourth quarter, with our backs to our end zone, no matter how he had played up to that point, we could look in his eyes and you knew – you knew – he was going to win it for us. That was an amazing feeling.” Stabler led the life people can only dream of – literally. Forget his gridiron trophies and records; he was a star on numerous platforms. Women loved him. Men envied him. There is an NFL rule named for him. A wrestler nicknamed himself in honor of Snake. Saturday Night Live parodied him in a skit. He was on an episode of Married…. With Children. He was in a Miller Lite commercial and even had a soft drink named after him! (“Snake Venom”- which Stabler himself said tasted terrible.) Am I leaving out a few less-than-enviable sordid details of his life? Probably, but to make an omelet this cool a few eggs must be broken (maybe even poached, hard boiled and scrambled). Unbelievably, Stabler is not in the NFL Hall of Fame. His absence alone is enough to discredit that organization. The man was and will always be a legend, period. I leave you with a poorly recalled story once told to me about Snake. I have no idea if it is true, but I would say the odds are favorable: Late one night, Snake walks into a bar to meet a few friends. The bartender quickly gives a “last call” after he is served his first drink. Stabler stands up, hurls his drink against the wall and shattered the glass. In disbelief, his friend asks why on Earth he did that. Stabler responds calmly, “Man… Time is running out! I had to throw it out of bounds to stop the clock!” Makes sense to me. Rest in Peace, Snake. Robinson is a sports columnist for The Outlook.

As dozens of players took to the field Monday morning for workouts at Central High School of Coosa County, one in particular stood out from – and above – the rest. Former Central-Coosa standout and Oakland Raiders defensive end Justin Tuck was in Rockford Monday, participating in team workouts and mentoring the Cougars during their summer session. Tuck said it did not take much for new Coosa head football Coach Barry Simmons to convince him to participate in the workouts. “Coach called me and I was in town, and that was pretty much it. That’s all he had to say because it’s always a pleasure to come back,” Tuck said. “He’s trying to build something here that we ain’t had here in a long time, and I’m excited about it.” Simmons said Tuck is a positive role model for the current players to see that hard work pays off. “He’s a guy that they can look up to. I told the team when he came in that this ain’t a guy from Hoover, this ain’t a guy from Spain Park or even Alex City – this guy is from Coosa-Central High School and he’s made it,” Simmons said. “Not only that, he’s a great guy and a great role model for these kids. I wanted to bring him in and he agreed to come in and just show the guys, hey, you can make it from here. What you’re doing now in the summer, it pays off.” From participating in the early-morning lifts to going over technique with the Cougars’ defensive ends, the Kellyton native said he relished the opportunity to come home and serve as a positive figure for the players. “It’s always home. Any time I get an opportunity to come back, I try my best to do so,” Tuck said. “I know what these kids are going through because I’ve been there. I think a lot of times people forget that, but I haven’t. Any time I can be a

positive figure or be supportive to them, I’m going to be that.” Simmons added that he and his staff were appreciative of Tuck coming out to join the team during the summer workout. “For them to see him out here working with them, it’s a big positive. He brought his Coosa-Central shirt from 15 years ago that he still wears when he works out with the Raiders,” Simmons said. “You’re talking about a guy who has won two Super Bowls, played for the Giants and for the Raiders now, but he’s still down to earth and willing to come help our kids out. They see that he’s one of us, and that means a lot for us to have him come out and be around us.” Tuck added that he remembers how visits from former Central-Coosa player and Baltimore Ravens standout Adalius Thomas had an impact on him during his high school playing days. “I think it’s a good thing. I remember when I was in high school, Adalius (Thomas) used to come back and talk to us, so that was something that I always

wanted to shoot to be because he was always kind of the example for me,” Tuck said. “Hopefully, they can kind of look to me, him and (former Cleveland Cavalier) Jamario Moon as kind of those examples that if you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything, even being from a small town that no one from outside of here knows about. You can still be successful.” Simmons said overall, workouts have gone well, and sessions like Monday’s are a part of establishing a winning culture at Coosa. “We’ve got a good number here. We’re missing a few today, but everything has been really positive,” Simmons said. “We’ve got our quarterback club established, something they haven’t had here in years. We’ve got the stadium ready, people here cleaning it up. Everything has been so positive. As far as the workouts go, kids are here and they’ve been working hard. I can’t complain. It’s been a good summer and they’re continuing to learn how to win. We’ve got to learn to compete through everything.” Submitted / The Outlook

The Benjamin Russell Wildcats’ football team was at Samford University last Wednesday to compete in a 7-on-7 camp. The camp was a part of Benjamin Russell’s preparation for the 2015 high school football season. The Wildcats, pictured at left, went 5-1 with wins over Hamilton, Huntsville, Briarwood Christian, Leeds, and Randolph County. BRHS’ only loss during the camp was to Homewood. Alexander City Middle School’s football team will host a 7-on7 camp today at the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex softball fields from 2-4 p.m.
