Oliver to face Jeffcoat in 81 race election. Martin said he was disappointed in the numbers of voters who turned out, especially in Alexander City. “He got his voters out,” Martin said. “He ran a good race.” In Tallapoosa County, Oliver collected 2,430 votes to Martin’s 1,790. In the district Oliver garnered almost 58 percent of the vote and dominated in the southern part of Tallapoosa County but is not ready to rest yet. “We will sit here tonight and pat ourselves on the back a little for a

Ed Oliver has a history of serving the public through the military. The voters called his name Tuesday, drafting him in the Republican runoff for State House District 81. “I felt like it was a calling,” Oliver said after being declared the winner of the race over Terry Martin. “We worked real hard.” Low voter turnout was the key in the
moment,” Oliver said. “But we have to get to work. We have to be ready for another race in November.” Oliver will face Democrat Jeremy Jeffcoat in the general election. Statewide, Attorney General Steve Marshall defeated Troy King by garnering more than 60 percent of the vote in the Republican runoff. Tallapoosa County voters gave the incumbent 55 percent of the vote in the county. And the two Republican races with advertisements with jingles were still too
close to call at Outlook press time. Will Ainsworth led Twinkle Cavanaugh in a very close race. Tallapoosa County gave Cavanaugh the nudge with 52 percent of the vote. The other is the Ag and Industry Commissioner between Gerald Dial and Rick Pate. Pate was the projected winner at press time with nearly 57 percent of the vote statewide. Tallapoosa County gave the nod to Dial with just over 52 percent of the vote.

A handful of local teenagers gathered at Mamie’s Place Children’s Library Tuesday morning, concluding a sixweek self-defense course held in conjunction with John Russell Wright and the United Arts Training Center as part of the library’s summer reading program. “This is our third year of doing this at the library,” Wright said. “It’s been quite wonderful.” After the initial warm-up and review of some of the principles learned over the past several weeks, including how knowledge applied becomes wisdom, mistakes are part of the learning experience and having an attitude of gratitude, all under the premise of ROCK (Respectful Observance and Collection of Knowledge), the library students worked with Wright, assistant coach Anthony Flowers and a handful of students from the training center to practice the selfdefense techniques the program See DEFENSE • Page 5

The New Site Town Council continued to make progress on projects throughout town during Monday night’s council meeting, including the water system upgrades, the senior activity center and the Russell Medical Center clinic. Jeffrey Harrison with CDG Engineers in Auburn was present and gave the council an update report on where things stood with the project to upgrade the New Site water system. Harrison said things have gotten a little behind schedule, but it is not far off from what was initially planned for. Currently, the final plans are at the Alabama Department of Environmental Management and

Animal shelter in need of long-term food solution By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

For a decade, the Lake Martin Animal Shelter has enjoyed a wealth of food the animals it cares for. The kittens, puppies, cats and dogs have been able to chow down thanks to damaged bags of food from a local retailer at almost no cost. The shelter even had enough to share. “We had a nice healthy surplus,” shelter director Mia Chandler said. “We were able to open a food pantry. Now that food intake is low, we have had to close down the food pantry.” Chandler said the shelter is still able to help some with food but only in certain situations. “We are having to limit it to seniors on SSI and to extreme emergencies,” Chandler said. Chandler says the animals at the shelter will not go hungry anytime soon, but she is worried it could cause other issues. “All of our food was donated,” she said. See SHELTER • Page 3

Thank you. -- MARGARET O. IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR MARGARET: Kids are maturing at younger ages than when we were growing up.

“Now, we may have to look at using shelter funds to purchase food and litter.” The shelter uses on average 150 pounds of adult dog food, 75 pounds of puppy food and 50 pounds of cat food a day. “Those are just single day averages,” Chandler said. “If we have an influx of intakes, it goes up.” Chandler explained that some animals at the shelter get fed more than once per day. “Puppies get fed twice a day,” she said. “It is the same for those that are nursing. Some are getting three feedings a day.” Chandler hopes to be able to continue to depend on the generosity of others for food so shelter funds can be used elsewhere. “When you donate, you’re in complete control,” Chandler said.
“Where do you want it to go? To everyday operations? To the spay/ neuter program? To emergencies? Or to sponsor a pet?” Chandler is hoping to continue the use of donated funds in the same way going forward but the shelter needs help. “Unless there is a change, I am going to rely on the community for food,” Chandler said. “It is better if people can team up, buy a big bag of food. You get more, you get better quality. It is a win-win for everyone.” Chandler likes to keep the food coming from two labels. “We like Purina Dog Chow or Pedigree Adult Complete,” Chandler said. “When we start to vary, we have gastrointestinal issues.” One idea is when someone celebrates a birthday, donate a bag of food or ask for donations
to the shelter for a present. Chandler has some 10 percent off coupons for the bonus bags of food at Tractor Supply to help with immediate needs. The shelter could use help to remedy to the issue but Chandler is worried they will get it all at once. “Dog food is
perishable,” she said. “I want to keep a healthy inventory but not a surplus. It hurts my heart if I have to dispose of it.”

I
f you find yourself in a situation where you need help, don’t you want firstresponders to be able to find you? Officials with the Alexander City Firefighters, The Alexander City Police Department and Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department say there is something that you can do to help as well. No you don’t need to purchase some high-dollar electronic gadget, it’s as simple as posting your house number in a prominent place on your home. All too often, emergency workers have to rely on descriptions other than house numbers, such as the color of a home, the make and model of a vehicle in the driveway or an illuminated porch light to find a house. But that’s exactly what they have to do. Emergency responders across the nation bypass homes in emergency situations, simply because the house numbers are not visible from the road. Just a short few breaths of smoke from a house fire can leave a victim incoherent, and shocks from a defibrillator can increase the likelihood of survival by 80 percent when administered in the first minutes after a heart attack, making it all the more clear that it is vital that emergency workers find homes quickly. But they have to get there to help. But unnumbered homes are problematic in less dire situations too. They create cumbersome work for United States Postal Service letter carriers meaning residents miss vital pieces of mail. Though letter carriers usually know their routes well enough to place mail correctly in neighborhoods, it can create problems for new mail carriers. Mail is important and you want it to get to the right place. To insure emergency workers and mail carriers can find homes, post three to four inch house numbers in a visible spot near the road closest to their drive. Your life could depend on it.

Daily Poll Tuesday Question: Do you hope the cold case bill Sen. Doug Jones recently introduced passes?
Some have run masterful campaigns
Y
ou have the results of Tuesday’s runoff elections. I had to go to press with my column before the results were known. There are some fantastic runoff races which should be close and interesting. The four best will be Troy King versus Steve Marshall in the attorney general’s race. The lt. governor runoff between Twinkle Cavanaugh and Will Ainsworth will be interesting. The agriculture race between Rick Pate and Gerald Dial will be good. It will be interesting to see if Bobby Bright ousted Martha Roby from Congress in the 2nd district. Let me share some thoughts and analyses from the first primary on June 5th. Kay Ivey and Walt Maddox won their party’s nominations very impressively. Governor Ivey used the mantle of incumbency to win a decisive victory with 56 percent of the vote against three thought to be viable, well financed opponents. Her campaign was brilliantly run. Her television ads were excellent. The mastermind of her campaign was Brent Buchanan. He is now the master of political campaigns in Alabama. His polling arm, Cygnal, is the most accurate on the scene. He uses his polling adroitly to design brilliant ads. Buchanan runs many campaigns out of state. He only ran two in the state, Ivey’s gubernatorial contest and Gerald Dials’ race for agriculture commissioner. In fact, Buchanan came up with the best ad of the campaign season. The jingle ad for Dial in the ag race was spectacular. Walt Maddox’s waltz to victory over five opponents without a runoff was impressive. It became apparent in the closing days that he was going to
STEVE FLOWERS Columnist win without a runoff. He ran the table on all of the important endorsements. He got the Alabama Democratic Conference, New South Coalition, but even more importantly the endorsement of and use of the young Birmingham Mayor, Randall Woodfin’s organization. This was a recipe for a big win. Maddox is the best candidate that the Democrats have fielded for governor in two decades. He is young, vibrant, and has a proven track record as a chief executive/mayor of one of Alabama’s largest and most important cities, Tuscaloosa. However, we are still a very red state. All 29 of our statewide elected offices are held by Republicans. Kay Ivey is not only the Republican nominee, she is the sitting Republican governor who can continue to cut ribbons and claim credit for every industrial announcement as well as the outstanding national economy and job growth. She will refuse to debate or go unscripted. In addition, as the incumbent she can raise substantial campaign funds. In the June 5th primary, there were twice as many votes cast in the GOP primary as there was in the Democratic primary. There were 340,000 votes cast for Kay Ivey, whereas there were only 284,000 votes cast for all of the Democratic gubernatorial candidates combined. Therefore, 174,000 more people voted for Governor Kay Ivey than Mayor Walt Maddox. I would handicap this race 56 to 44 in favor of
Ivey going into the fall. The only way that Maddox can win is for Kay to falter. Her handlers should keep her close to home and limit her appearances. They should continue to not discuss the issues that face the state or take any positions or offer any plans for the state woes. Under no circumstance should they allow her to debate. The young articulate mayor would eat her lunch. The contrast in appearance itself would be dramatic. Maddox, if not elected, will live to run another day. The divide between the two political parties is narrowing in the state. Younger voters are trending Democratic, even in the Heart of Dixie. Tommy Battle ran a very successful get acquainted race for governor. He will be the favorite in 2022. You could see a Walt Maddox vs. Tommy Battle contest in four years. Battle built name ID and got 25 percent of the vote against a popular incumbent governor. He goes back to being mayor of Alabama’s most prosperous and fastest growing city. If you think Huntsville has prospered and boomed the last 10 years, you ain’t seen nothing yet! It could very easily be the boom town of America in the next five to ten years. Maddox’s city of Tuscaloosa is growing right behind Huntsville. Quite frankly, Battle and Maddox have much better jobs as mayors of Huntsville and Tuscaloosa than if they were governor of Alabama. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist. His weekly column appears in over 60 Alabama newspapers. He served 16 years in the state legislature.

Russell Wright, Anthony Flowers and students from United Arts Training Center presented certificates of completion to the teens that went through the six-week long self-defense course at Mamie’s Place as part of the summer reading program. Those participants were, back row left to right, Jordan Finley, Ethan Childers, Sarah Childers, Opie Childers, Norah Childers, Rachel Adamson and Nathan Adamson. Donald Campbell / The Outlook

has been teaching its participants. The teens were broken into any one of five stations, where they spent the rest of the program practicing some of the basic moves of self-defense, avoiding being body slammed by an attacker and escaping from a grappling situation. After the session was over, Wright and Flowers presented the participants with a “graduation” packet, including a certificate of completion, informational brochure on the United Arts Training Center and a gift certificate to take two months worth of classes at the center free of charge. “Education is something you have to be active at,” Wright said. “Internal strength is more important than external strength.” Wright, who has trained with some of the greatest martial arts masters in the world and has worked with government and military officials following situations like New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, said he teaches classes like this as a way to give more knowledge to those who may need it. Believing being proactive gives one a greater chance to survive situations where self-defense is critical, Wright stressed he does not
advocate violence but instead wants people to know what to do to protect themselves in a violent situation. “Once you learn to protect yourself, you become more confident, and everything just builds from there,” Wright said. “Nobody has the right to put their hands on you.” While some of his time is dedicated to working with professionals, training athletes and teaching classes at United Arts Training Center, Wright said he also likes coming to the library and teaching some of the basics to interested teens in conjunction with the library summer reading program. “I enjoy doing this,” Wright said. “It gives me a chance to give back to the community.” Although he and his students at the center have wrapped up this year’s program, Wright said he wants to keep this an annual thing with the summer reading program. “The librarians here have been wonderful,” he said. “I want to keep doing this for as long as I can. They get in touch with me in the fall to see about getting me in for the next summer. I want to be sure there is plenty of time on our calendar to do this.”

would be responsible for $16,000 in matching funds. The New Site Town Council also addressed the following items: • Minutes from the July 2 meeting were approved. • Three bid packets have been sent out to contractors interested in completing the life safety electrical services project at the New Site gym, to be returned by Aug. 3. • Senior Activity Center Director Jan Kennedy said 20 seniors showed up for the first ever game night at the center Friday evening. She felt this could become a regular thing, possibly being held once a month. • Police Chief Philip Weddle said there have been a handful of thefts occurring around town recently that has kept the police department busy. Weddle said he has some suspicions as to who may be responsible, but the thefts remain under investigation. As a way to help address this, Weddle said he will be meeting with Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett this week to discuss setting up a neighborhood watch program around town. • With planning for the next annual town budget just around the corner, Blasingame said he wanted to do things a little differently this year and create a budget committee consisting of himself, two council members and town clerk Shelia Fuller to create some ideas for how to lay out the budget. • Financially, Blasingame reported the town was in very good shape. Both the water and general funds saw revenue over expenditures for both the month of June and the year so far, and revenues for both have also surpassed what was initially budgeted for. “We are moving in the right direction,” Blasingame said. • Blasingame said a few of the seniors in town had asked about getting a horseshoe pit installed near the senior activity center in order to practice for competitions like the Alabama Masters Games. Councilman Mickey Carter said his only concerns were putting them too close to where the parks and rec supply shed is located and having a way to secure the pits so nobody could get hurt around them. The next meeting of the New Site Town Council will be Monday, Aug. 6 beginning at 5 p.m. in the meeting room of New Site Town Hall.

awaiting approval, according to Harrison. Once ADEM has approved the plans, CDG will be able to move forward with the advertising and bidding phases. “We are feeling confident we will hear back from ADEM by the end of the week,” Harrison said. In order to complete the project in a timely manner, Harrison said the overall project has been broken down into two contracts that can be worked on simultaneously. The first part focuses more on the construction side of things, including upgrading the water boosting stations on Highway 22 and Highway 49, installing fire hydrants around town and the pressure station in Goldville to boost the water pressure along the town water lines between Goldville and the Clay County line. The second aspect involves installing brand new water meters around town that can be remotely read and which show how much water is being used at a specific location on an hour by hour basis. “The bid opening, we believe could happen at the end of August, so they can be awarded in early September,” Harrison said. “Construction on the first part could then run from October to December. The water meters, we estimate that will be a lot faster, about 45 days in total.” “We appreciate the update,” New Site Mayor Phil Blasingame said. “We are looking forward to hearing more.” Blasingame was proud to inform the council Russell Medical Center has received approval to be able to set up a clinic in town. With this hurdle cleared, Blasingame said he has been in contact with representatives from the East Alabama Regional Planning Commission, which has been working with the Appalachian Regional Planning Commission in order to receive an expedited grant application. Blasingame recommended the council continue to think about alternate funding options should no grant money be received. The council passed a motion, approving a resolution to move forward with EARPC in applying for grants to improve the New Site Senior Activity Center. Blasingame said he had been mistaken in terms of the percentage of the grant that was matching funds from the town. With the matching percentage for the town coming in at only 10 percent, the resolution specified the town

PEARL IS Previewing Auburn’s COMING schedule: Part III T TO TOWN Bruce Pearl to speak at Lake ANDY GRAHAM Columnist
he eyes and ears of college football fans around the country are focused on the city of Atlanta this week as SEC Media Days is unleashed on the Peach State. Gus Malzahn and the Auburn Tigers won’t take the podium until Thursday, so I’ll wait until next week to address what Gus had to say. In the meantime, let’s wrap up our look at the finishing stretch of the 2018 Auburn football schedule. Nov. 3 vs. Texas A&M: Jimbo Fisher isn’t getting paid an obscene amount of money ($75 million) to come to College Station and lose ballgames. Texas A&M would’ve kept Kevin Sumlin if it was OK with mediocrity. The Aggies didn’t have a terrible season in 2017, but they lost to Alabama, Auburn, LSU and Mississippi State. That’s obviously not good if you have you eyes on winning the West. With 16 starters returning (eight on offense and eight on defense), the cupboard certainly isn’t bare. The key to A&M’s success will be quarterback play. Auburn has hosted the Wrecking Crew three times since joining the SEC. The Tigers have yet to defend Jordan Hare successfully. Nov. 10 at Georgia: Auburn exorcised a lot of demons against Georgia in 2017, crushing the No. 1 Bulldogs 40-17 in front of a sold-out crowd in the Loveliest Village. Unfortunately, the Dawgs paid the Tigers back in the SEC Championship Game, costing Auburn a conference title and a playoff berth. Running backs Nick Chubb and Sony Michel are finally gone after what seemed like about nine years, but sophomore quarterback Jake Fromm is back, looking to finish what he started a year ago. Georgia lost six starters off a stellar defense but should be able to plug in great young talent and still be one of the SEC’s best. The Bulldogs are definitely the team to beat in the East. Auburn’s trip to Sanford Stadium could again be one of the biggest games of the college football season and have major playoff implications. Nov. 17 vs. Liberty: I’ll be perfectly honest. I didn’t even know Liberty had a football team, much less compete in the FBS. I actually looked them up. Liberty is an independent school and went 6-5 last season, defeating Baylor in the first game. I understand Jerry Falwell is the president of Liberty. Well, I would imagine what Auburn is going to do to this team won’t be Christian. Nov. 24 at Alabama: Auburn won the Iron Bowl by more than 10 points for the first time in my lifetime last season. The Tigers looked like the better team for the first time in a long time. And yet, at the end of the year Alabama added another piece of hardware to their very impressive trophy case. The Crimson Tide continues to be the most talented team in the country, but it seems like the talent gap could be narrowing. The biggest question in Tuscaloosa to start the season is who will be playing quarterback. Most pundits feel confident it will be Tua Tagovailoa, but either quarterback will certainly be surrounded by a very talented supporting cast. I hate to say it, but in the playoff era the SEC title game has become a detriment. As bizarre as it is to contemplate, the winner of this game could actually be the loser in the long run. Then again, I suppose beating your archrival is its own reward. Andy Graham is a regular columnist for The Outlook.
Martin Auburn Club event By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
Auburn fans are usually chomping at the bit to have face time with their football coach, Gus Malzahn. But after the success of the Tigers’ men’s basketball program, the Lake Martin Auburn Club thought it would be a good idea to take things in a new direction. Aug. 2 at its annual fall event, Auburn men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl will be speaking to the club at Willow Point Golf and Country Club. “This is amazing to me because it shows you how far Auburn basketball has come,” Lake Martin Auburn Club President Larkin Radney said. “In our fall event, instead of having a football coach, we’re having a basketball coach. Basketball has definitely arrived at Auburn.” Tickets cost just $40 per person and the club is also looking for sponsors. Sponsorships cost $500 and include four tickets plus a
30-minute meet-and-greet with Pearl. The event will begin at 6 p.m. with a meet-and-greet followed by a night of hors d’oeuvres with Pearl speaking to the club starting around 7:15 p.m. “He stays very busy,” Radney said. “His speaking schedule is very time consuming. There’s a lot of demand for him to be at different meetings, so we’re very pleased to have him here.” Pearl will take time to talk about the upcoming men’s basketball season but will also address questions from attendees. “He’s a joy to be around,” Radney said. “He’s extremely friendly — overtly so, so you can tell he’d be a good recruiter.” To buy tickets to the event, contact Radney at 256-3298438 on or before July 31. Sponsorships must be in by July 23. Attendees can pay online at www.lakemartinauburnclub.com, via snail mail at Lake Martin Auburn Club, P.O. Box 245, Alexander City AL, 35011, or pay at the event.

Jennings among 3 Tide players named to Bednarik Award Watch list STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
Alabama linebacker and Dadeville graduate Anfernee Jennings is among three Crimson Tide players who have been named to the 2018 Bednarik Award Watch List announced Monday by the Maxwell Football Club of Philadelphia. Jennings as well as Alabama linebacker Mack Wilson and defensive lineman Raekwon Davis are three of just 85 players from around the country named to the preseason list. Alabama has claimed the award in each of the last two seasons with Minkah Fitzpatrick taking home the award last year. Jonathan Allen became the Crimson Tide’s first recipient of the award in 2016. Jennings transitioned into a starting role as a sophomore a season ago and developed into a powerful threat off the edge for the Tide defense. He finished the season with 41 tackles, six tackles for loss and

a sophomore. The Meridian, Miss., native finished the 2017 season with a teamleading 8.5 sacks, along with 45 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, a fumble return and his first career interception. Wilson was dominant in the postseason for the Crimson Tide in 2017, posting 18 tackles, three tackles for loss and an interception return for a touchdown in the final two games of the season, including a career-high and team-leading 12 stops in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game. The Chuck Bednarik Award has been presented annually since 1995 by the Maxwell Football Club of Philadelphia to the top defensive player in college football. The award is named in honor of former college and NFL Hall of Fame linebacker Chuck Bednarik. The 2018 winner will be announced at the ESPN Home Depot College Football Awards Show in December.
