Jobless numbers steady June stats show local improvement over last year, but slightly higher unemployment than in May By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor
Tallapoosa County’s June unemployment rate was down 1.4 percent over the same period in 2014, according to numbers released Friday. A 6.7 percent unemployment rate was recorded for Tallapoosa County in June, down from the 8.1 percent in June of 2014. The level was slightly higher than the 6.4 percent recorded in May, but officials say that students entering the workforce may be the
reason for the slight increase. The numbers were released Friday by the office of Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley and statewide the numbers were very similar to the success found in Tallapoosa County. The state’s seasonally adjusted June unemployment rate is 6.1 percent, down from 2014 and slightly higher than in May of this year. “Even though our unemployment rate remained unchanged this month, we are pleased that since January 2011, our month over month growth

Does the idea of a career where every day brings a new challenge sound attractive to you? If so, imagine a job where in the same day helping save a family home threatened by fire and then rescuing a kitten that had been trapped beneath a car. Then, the next day you assist with a rescue operation at the lake, help a 90-year-old military veteran get needed medical attention and wrap the shift up by hosing down runners as they cross the finish line at a road race. If all that sounds good, the Alexander City Fire Department wants to talk to you. Chief Kem Jones said that the department is See RECRUITS, Page 3

CAMP EXPERIENCE
ASCCA is changing lives, making memories By Cliff Williams Outlook Staff Writer
Cliff Williams / The Outlook
The Alexander City Fire and Rescue conducts a rope rescue training class on Patroit Point.
Teenagers have been spending summers on Lake Martin for decades creating memories and overcoming fears. From boating, fishing and tubing to zip lining, hanging out and canoeing to the dance on the last night of camp. One such camp on the lake is no different – Camp ASCCA.
Alabama’s Special Camp for Children and Adults has been around since 1976 serving children and adults with disabilities. Touring Camp ASCCA one quickly notices that the camp is no different than any other summer camp. The thing that is different is the number of wheels. If you are walking, you might find yourself in the minority as everyone travels by at least four wheels. See CAMP, Page 8

This is good news for Alabamians who are looking to find a job.” One stat that jumped out from the report is that all 67 counties in Alabama have lower unemployment rates than were recorded during June of 2014.

How to Submit Obituaries
DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, “Aidan,” and I have been dating for three months. I want to tell my parents, but I don’t know how. They say I’m too young and immature to date. I’ll be 16 in five months. They say Aidan is obsessed with me and they don’t want me staying in an unhealthy relationship. My parents think I’m not talking to Aidan, but I really am. I want to show them I’m mature enough for a relationship. All they keep saying is I need to be “realistic” and “respectful.” I’m more respectful than half the people I know. I don’t want to keep this from my parents anymore. What should I do? -- TEEN GIRL IN ILLINOIS DEAR TEEN GIRL: When parents say a teen is too young to date, they aren’t talking about the number of candles on her birthday cake. If your parents are worried that Aidan is “obsessed,” they must have a reason. Sneaking around isn’t a way
DEAR ABBY Advice
to gain anyone’s confidence. Teens show they are mature and responsible enough to handle the privilege of dating by being open, honest, communicating their feelings, listening respectfully to the opinions of others, and shouldering responsibility. If you start now, you may be able to convince your parents that you’re ready. DEAR ABBY: I have been taking trips with a friend for a few years. We share a room and usually have a good time. Unfortunately, my friend is cheap. She fights for every dollar every day of the year even though she is very well off. Lately she has become worse. During the last tour we
took, she “made lunch” off the breakfast buffets in the hotels where we stayed, although most of them had signs posted saying that food should not be taken out. Not once, not twice, but every single day she packed a sandwich, fruit and coffee so she wouldn’t have to buy lunch. I asked her to please not do it, but she brushed me off. I like her, but I hate feeling ashamed of her. I believe in doing the right thing, and doing unto others what I would like them to do unto me, and I have reached the point where I just don’t want to travel with her. Any advice? -CALIFORNIA TRAVELER DEAR TRAVELER: Yes. Tell your friend you have now taken your last trip together, and then tell her exactly why. DEAR ABBY: I see so many young girls wear “spike” heels. I know they think they look glamorous, but a word of advice: LEARN TO WALK IN THEM AT HOME. Girls, you
look like ducks, walking with your knees bent because the heels are so high and you haven’t practiced. I know what I’m talking about because those heels were in style when I was young. -- SMART LADY IN TENNESSEE DEAR SMART LADY: There is nothing wrong with that advice. Practice makes perfect. However, allow me to add another suggestion. When I buy a pair of spike heels (and I do own a few), the first thing I do is take them to my shoemaker and have the heels cut down a quarter of an inch, which makes them more comfortable -- and safer -- to walk in. (If I broke an ankle they’d have to shoot me, because I’d never race again.) Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Last year’s National Night Out event featured something for people of all ages.
at the Sportplex, the Alexander City Police Department is also encouraging neighborhoods to take part through cookouts, neighborhood meetings and other community gatherings on Tuesday, Aug. 4. “August 4 is actually the night National Night Out is being celebrated nationwide,” said Lt. James Orr of the Alexander City Police Department. “In addition to turning your porch light on from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. to show you’re taking a stand against crime, we’re just asking that, on that night, neighbors take advantage and get together and have a cookout or a neighborhood meeting or just fellowship with one another. It would be a great opportunity for a neighborhood to form a Neighborhood Watch group or maybe rekindle one.” Orr also said the police department is asking those neighborhoods that plan a get-together on Aug. 4 to register that event with the police department. “We just want to track them,” Orr said. “Also, we’ll likely take the opportunity to have some of our officers drop by some of the gatherings and just meet the people.” Orr added that Wind
Creek will also participate in the Tuesday activities with a Movie Night Out beginning at 8:40 p.m. at the state park. On Thursday night at the Sportplex, the police department as well as other public safety and first responder groups in the city and county – including the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department and the Alexander City Fire Department – will be on hand with booths, some giveaways and to answer questions from the community. There will also be a demo by the Alexander City Police Department’s K-9 unit. Orr said businesses, church groups and others are welcome to participate as vendors. Those inter-

He said that pellets from bird shot were found in the animal’s left side, an eye and along the life side of the dog’s snout. The wounds do not appear to be life threatening, but until more details are known, Robinson
ested may contact Orr at the Alexander City Police Department for more information. There is no cost to attend the Sportplex event. National Night Out is designed to: Heighten crime, drug-prevention and other safety awareness; Generate support for and participation in local anti-crime programs; Strengthen neighborhood spirit and public safety-community partnerships; Promote general safety in and around the home; and Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

said it was too early to speculate on a suspect or a motive. “It does appear that the dog is going to be OK,” Robinson said. “Right now we are just beginning the investigation and hope to have more on it soon.” Robinson said that if anyone has any information regarding the incident, they can report it to investigators at 256-2343421.

PARENTS: If your total current household income is within the limits listed above, your children may be eligible for either free or reduced-price meals. They may apply by completing the application forms sent home with a letter to parents. Additional copies are available at the principal’s office in each school. The information provided on the application is confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility. The information on the application may be verified at any time during the program year. Applications may be submitted any time during the school year. In accordance with program regulations school officials will be verifying the income of some households at some time during the school year. Selected households will be requested to provide income documentation in order to continue receiving free and reduced-price meals. The last four digits of the social security number must be provided for the primary wage earner or household member who signs the application. Aliens ineligible for social security numbers should indicate their status on the application. In certain cases, foster children are also eligible for these benefits. If a family has such children living with them and wishes to apply for such meals for them, they should contact the school. In the operation of child feeding programs, no child will be discriminated against because of race, sex, color, national origin, age or disability.
Jobs Counties with the lowest unemployment rates are: Shelby County at 4.6 percent, Elmore County at 5.4 percent, and Baldwin County at 5.5 percent. The stats showed that there are 319 more people working in Tallapoosa County now than there were in 2014. The report also says that there were 254 fewer Tallapoosa County residents listed as unemployed than in June 2014. Over the year in the state, wage and salary employment increased by 23,600 to 1,952,800, with
Page 3
continued from page 1
gains in the education and health services sector (+6,800), the leisure and hospitality sector (+4,900), and the construction sector (+4,000), among others. In June 2011, wage and salary employment was 1,878,200, according to the release. Wage and salary employment decreased in June by 1,900. Monthly gains were seen in the construction sector (+2,300), the leisure and hospitality sector (+1,600), and the manufacturing sector (+800), among others. “The June unemploy-
ment rate continues to reflect what we saw last month,” Alabama Department of Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald Washington said in a released statement. “It is not uncommon to see unemployment rise or remain steady during the summer months, usually as a result of an increase in the labor force as students and graduates search for work, and teachers and other school employees are not employed.”
Under the provision of the free and reduced-price meal policy, Office Clerical Designee will review the applications and determine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling or the official, he may wish to discuss it in more detail with that official. If a parent wishes to review the ruling further after discussing it with the school, he has a right to a fair hearing. This can be done by making a request either orally or in writing to Rhonda Blythe, CNP Director, whose address is 375 Lee Street, Alexander City, AL 35010. Hearing procedures are outlined in the free and reduced-price meal policy. Should a household member become unemployed or the household size changes, the household should contact the school to file a new application. Such changes may make the children of the household eligible for free or reduced-price meals if the household income falls at or below the level shown above. A complete copy of the Policy is on file in each school and in the office of the Superintendent of Alexander City Schools where it may be reviewed by any interested party. All questions on the free and reduced-price application must be completed. Failure to include information on household members, income or SNAP (Food Stamp) case number, information on social security, and the signature of an adult household member will result in the denial of benefits.

The
Our
Opinion Our public safety folks go the extra mile
T
here are many reasons that we who live in Alexander City should consider ourselves lucky. We have events like the Sun Festival and Jazz Fest, we have Lake Martin and people who are among the most friendly and caring you will find anywhere. After careful observation, we have come to the conclusion that among the positives that should be on the top of the reasons Alexander City is such a great place is the responsiveness of our public safety personnel. For those of you who have not lived in other places, especially in a big city, you may not understand just how lucky you are. Our local police, sheriff’s department and fire personnel go the extra mile to help make our community a better place. From calls to get help with unruly kids to firefighters helping collect clothes for a family who lost their home, these caring people go above and beyond the call of duty. In our job, we often see this side of these caring people. Even if others may not realize all that they do for us. Want an example? Try calling 9-1-1 to report a woodchuck in the road in some towns and you may find yourself facing charges of making frivolous calls to law enforcement. Not here. Last week a call with that exact complaint came over the scanner. In most towns, the dispatcher would have told the caller to avoid the animal or dismiss them all together. In Alexander City, an Animal Control officer responded, and ran the critter off the road. Now, the caller should have probably done that themselves, but it all goes back to the fact that the people who wear uniforms in this town really seem to want to help people. Think about this the next time you see an officer or a firefighter. Be sure to tell them thank you for making Alexander City great.

A weight loss miracle? No, calories and exercise
T
his morning I hit a landmark, the halfway point to my weightloss goal, when the scale said I am 20 pounds lighter than when I started. Being a Type A, goal-oriented kind of guy, it made my day. Granted it was after a 3-mile run, so a pound or two may have been sweated out instead of burned. I really don’t care. I got on the scale and it showed I was 20 pounds lighter. That’s worth a little celebration. But that’s not why I’m writing. I’m writing because I want to tell everybody who’s trying to lose weight that simply paying attention to what you eat and how much you exercise – counting calories if you will – works, that you can do it too and it doesn’t cost anything. I’d like to share a few insights and first person experiences that may help folks get over the hump. First, it really is like getting over a hump. A better analogy might be pushing a car. It’s difficult at first, but once you get rolling, it’s much easier. The scientific fact is that if you burn more calories than you take in, you will lose weight. I’m using the Lose It app for an iPhone, and I put in my current weight, my goal weight, and let the software know that I’d like to be on a caloric plan to lose two pounds a week. In my case, 1,942 calories a day will do the trick. Sound easy? Well, sort of. There were times when I’ve been really tired, when I was really hungry, when I was really sleepy
KENNETH BOONE Publisher
in mid day. Most of that happened the first couple of weeks I started losing weight. Now it is much easier, I don’t feel as hungry, or as tired or as sleepy. I’m getting used to it. The take-home here is that when you first start losing weigh it seems really hard and there is great temptation to throw in the towel. Don’t. It will get easier. Just hang in there. Second insight: If you’re really hungry at night, drink some water and get in bed and sleep through it. When you wake up, it’s another day. For some reason I’m never as hungry in the morning as I was the night before. Third insight: Sometimes it’s OK to go over budget. I’ve been to parties, a high school reunion weekend, family celebrations, holiday grillfests and many other events and I go over my daily calorie budget routinely, at least once a week. The rest of the week I say slightly under, and at week’s end I’m at or below my goal. No sweat. Fourth insight: I learned that I can eat whatever I want to early in the day as long as I tailor my evening meal to hit the budget. Cheeseburger and fries for lunch. Sure. But that might mean a salad with red vinegar for dressing after dark. Or it means I can spend 30 minutes running and have a couple of beers and some homemade bread and butter
with that salad. What you eat is important for health, but for weight loss only, it’s much more about how many calories you eat. That said, I think eating healthy food most of the time is really smart, especially when you’re not eating enough to maintain your weight. Fifth insight: I’ve found that if I eat a salad or a vegetable plate for one meal, I can hit my goal and never be hungry as long as I drink water or unsweet tea. Be careful with soft drinks and alcohol. Calorie-wise, a Coke or a gin and tonic equals about 10 minutes at a brisk run. You know how much you like to run and how much you like to drink, so do the exercise, or at least do the math, before you raise a glass. Did I mention I ran three miles this morning? The fact is losing weight by relying on feelings or guestimations or some weird fad diet just will not work. However, a medically sound, scientific plan where you pay attention to how many calories you eat and how many calories you “exercise away” will definitely work as long as you are dedicated to following the plan. I’ve heard that for years and always thought, “Yeah, yeah, that’s for other folks.” Well, it turns out that’s for me. I saw the proof this morning. And I couldn’t be happier about the good news from my bathroom scale. Boone is publisher of The Outlook.

hat happens when you grab an electric fence? You get
shocked. Which is just the reaction educators felt across Alabama this week when they learned Governor Robert Bentley filled a vacancy on the State Board of Education with someone with no apparent credentials for the position. As the news quickly spread I got calls and emails from one end of the state to the other. A superintendent said, “the storm clouds keep rolling in.” A local school board member said, “a sad day for Alabama.” Bentley appointed 28-year old Matt Brown of Baldwin County to replace Al Thompson. Brown never attended public school, has stated that his children will not attend public schools and was head of the Educate Baldwin Now campaign that worked (successfully) to defeat an education tax referendum last March. He is also an opponent of Common Core, which is aligned with the Alabama College & Career standards. The governor stated in a press release, “Matthew brings a unique perspective to the position.” He is certainly right about that. About like I (an avid Auburn grad and supporter) would do if appointed
LARRY LEE Guest Columnist
to the Board of Trustees at the University of Alabama. The same press release quoted Brown as saying, “I look forward to working with families, teachers, local and state school board members, the legislature, and the Governor to ensure that our children are prepared to compete and be successful in Alabama and around the world.” Considering that public schools are not good enough for his own children, that he opposes funding them adequately and that he opposes increasing the rigor of standard and curriculum, his statement is disingenuous at best. There has been speculation for weeks that the governor was using this appointment as a bargaining chip with Senator Trip Pittman of Baldwin County, Chair of the Senate Finance & Taxation Education committee, in regards to help in the current special session that was called to shore up an ailing General Fund budget. Pittman was an ardent sup-
porter of Brown for this seat. If so, this is a sad, sad commentary on the state of politics in Alabama. The notion that elected officials would use school children as political pawns is unconscionable. But unfortunately, we’ve seen too much of this in the past few years, beginning with passage of the Alabama Accountability Act in 2014. As we know, the governor is a dermatologist and there is a group known as the Alabama Dermatology Society. Would the governor nominate Matt Brown to serve as an officer with this group? From where I sit, he seems to have just as much experience to do this as he does to be on the State Board of Education. In a few weeks more than 730,000 students will begin a new year in our public schools. Politicians will cheer them on and say they should be educated in the best schools possible. But when the school doors close behind these youngsters, we turn around and make decisions that are anything but supportive of them. Larry Lee led the study, Lessons Learned from Rural Schools, and is a long-time advocate for public education. larrylee133@gmail.com read his blog: larryeducation.com

For the Glow Run, race day registration is $30 and begins at 8 p.m. The race will begin at 9 p.m., with music and after-party to follow. After Saturday’s events, Sunday will bring the block party to downtown for the first time. In previous years, neighborhoods got together on the Sunday evening of the first weekend of Sun Festival in an effort to assist the community in getting to know one another. “This has worked well, but after receiving some feedback that many felt left out of the fun due to rural addresses and that hosting a block party is a little bit of work on the one organizing, we’ve decided to bring the whole community together for the Sun Festival Block Party in Strand Park,” Rye said. The event is set from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. the chamber will host the entire community in Strand Park. Everyone is invited, but

Children flying through the air, grinning and laughing along the way on the zip line having just conquered a fear of heights and leaving the comfort of a wheelchair behind with the help of counselors and camp staff. One such camp staffer is Alexander City native Katie Martin who is work-

horses and the zip lines.” Martin did not return to Camp ASCCA until a trip with the Auburn University Engineering Ambassadors. “We did a team building retreat here for the Engineering Ambassadors here,” Martin said. “I was talking with activities director Amber Cotney about how dealing with campers on a day-to-day basis has totally changed her life. I saw her eyes light up and knew I had to get involved.” Martin said she already has some lifelong memories despite her relatively short time at Camp ASCCA. “Been great working on the zip line,” Martin said. “I love watching campers conquer their fears. At first saying ‘no, no I can’t do this.’ Then seeing how happy they are as they go down that line.” James Kelley who is now the head male counselor at the camp is spending his sixth summer at ASCCA. “It’s the campers that keep me coming back,” Kelley said. “It is great to see their progress – their loving nature.” Kelley has his own special memory from camp. “Last year we got to help a young man who had been in a motorcycle accident that was paralyzed,” Kelley said. “We took him tubing for the first time since the accident. Afterwards, his wife came to us and thanked us. ‘Thank you for making him feel like a man again.’ It got me worked up. That was a defining moment in my life.” Kelley, despite about to graduate in December with a degree in marketing from Alabama sees a future in summer camps for himself. “I just love camp,” Kelley said. “I will have to find a way to make marketing and camp work.” This past week was teen week and sports camp at Camp ASCCA and Jared Rehm, an adaptive sports specialist with Auburn University Office of Accessibility has been helping out. “It has been a really good collaboration,” Rehm said. “We started coming out for the day about six years ago and this is the second year we have been here for the whole week.” “We have been doing sports camps for year,” Camp ASCCA’s Dana Rickman said. “They have really helped us grow sports camp.” Sports camp mixes children with disabilities with children ‘normal’ children so that both can learn from one another. Wednesday the group tackled hand bikes, essentially multispeed tricycles power with the user’s arms. “It is harder to maneuver than my chair,” Montgomery’s Ricky Trebar said. “But it is a better work out and more fun.” Kassidi Higgs is a teen without any disabilities, but said the experience has been educational. “It is a whole different perspective,” Higgs said. “It’s still fun.”

A local water skier was a part of the U.S. team that recently brought home the gold. Alabama state record holder Bob Schouten of Alexander City was the coach of the U.S. Under-21 Water Ski team, which won the overall team gold medal at the 7th U-21 Water Ski World Championships held July 3-5 just outside of Toledo, Spain. The U.S. water ski athletes combined to win six medals, including three gold during the event. The U.S. tallied 7,572.25 points in winning the gold medal for the sixth time in the history of the biennial event, as athletes from 28 countries participated in the tournament. “This is my second time doing this. Last year, I did this with the Pan-Am (Pan-American) Championships, which is an Olympic sport event, and we won. I took six teams there,” Schouten said. “We won with five of the six teams that year. This was my first worlds competition, so I was really ecstatic for us to win.”
Members of the 2015 U.S. U-21 Water Ski team were: Taylor Garcia of Winter Garden, Florida, Makayla Haw of Rio Linda, California, Erika Lang of Gilbert, Arizona and Nick Lang of Gilbert Arizona. “There were four team members and we had 10 independents. You had to be in the top eight in the world to be able to qualify as an independent,” Schouten said. “It was chaotic, of course, when we first got there because nobody knew the language. Logistics was the hardest part, obviously, getting to the hotel and getting settled in. We had a week of practice beforehand. We were able to win the gold medal, and we also won three individual gold medals.” Water skiing is a fast-growing sport, particularly in the Lake Martin area. The sport includes three different events. “There are three events: slalom, tricks and jump. Slalom is all about precision and speed. You go through a six-buoy course, and you go faster until you get up to your maximum speed, and then you go shorter and the rope starts getting shorter,” Schouten said. “Tricks is two, 20-second passes and you do as many tricks as you can in 20 seconds. Each
trick has different point values.” “Jump is just pure insanity,” Schouten laughed. “It’s just distance and how far you can go. We had two guys that got first and second in the jump and they got around 210 (feet).” Schouten said his road to coaching the team started simply with a lifelong interest in the sport. “I’ve been skiing my whole life, and I’ve skied in nationals and I’ve skied in the worlds. I’ve been on a world championship team and Pan-Am teams, and I’ve worked at the U.S. Water Ski headquarters for a while,” Schouten said. “It was just kind of a natural progression to becoming the coach of the U-21 team.” Moving forward, the 56-year-old Schouten said he hopes to continue coaching, as well as maybe compete as a member of the senior team. “I’m hoping to continue to be a part of this. I’ve also done the elite team, which is the older team at the Pan-Ams, but I want to do that at the worlds,” Schouten said. “I also want to do the Pan-Am games, which is actually going on right now, so I have to wait four more years to be a part of that. And personally, I’d like to ski with the seniors again.”

Dadeville native Caldwell joins Horseshoe Bend coaching staff By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor
A Dadeville native is returning home to Tallapoosa County to begin his coaching career. Former Dadeville High School standout and University of West Alabama quarterback Kyle Caldwell has joined the Horseshoe Bend School varsity football coaching staff for the 2015 season. Caldwell said it is a great feeling to return home and start a new chapter in his life. “It’s just good being able to be close to family and being close to teams that you’re pretty familiar with,” Caldwell said. “It’s not that much of a challenge making the adjustment, but it’s a challenge because it is something new.” Caldwell shined at the collegiate level as quarterback of West Alabama. He was named 2014 Gulf South Conference Co-Player of the Year after finishing the season with 2,427 yards passing with a 60.2 completion percentage and 21 touchdowns. Caldwell also ran for 468 yards on 105 carries, averag-
ing 4.5 yards-per-carry and scoring five touchdowns. Caldwell’s accolades also include being a four-time member of the GSC Academic Honor Roll, winning the 2011 GSC Freshman Offensive Player of the Year and being named GSC Offensive Player of the Year in 2013. He is also UWA’s all-time leader in total offense (9,090 yards), yards passing (7,731 yards) and touchdowns (72). He said he hopes to bring his experience to Horseshoe Bend in helping develop the team’s quarterbacks. “I’m going to be helping out with the offense and working with the quarterbacks, mostly,” Caldwell said. “I think I can teach them more about playing the game, how to read a defense or just how sometimes it’s not about specific plays, it’s about which player is playing the best that night. I think I can kind of provide some motivation here and there.” Caldwell added he’s excited about the new opportunity.
