Martin Strange to LakeLakeLevels appeal ruling 489.55 on VictoryLand

By Mitch Sneed

Dadeville has lost a longtime community and business leader as Laeman Butcher passed away Monday night at East Alabama Medical Center. Butcher, 81, owned and operated the Piggly Wiggly grocery store in Dadeville for decades before turning over the day-to-day operation of the store to his children in recent years. Those who knew him well said that in addition to being a hardworking businessman, his dedication to the community also became his legacy. Dadeville’s Cal Johnson said

Pay increases for some Alexander City city employees were not handled according to proper procedure and the city council will take steps to either legitimize the increases or reject them next week. Those revelations came out of an informative – and at times contentious – city council work session Tuesday evening where Council President Bob Howard said it’s in the best interest of the city “to fix this problem and move on.” City Engineer and Public Works Director Gerard Brewer and John Meadows of the water department explained the increases in their departments, and while there were some questions remaining as to how the increases were calculated, the council seemed to agree that if documentation was sufficient then the raises had merit. The conversation became heated when discussion turned to the $16,561 increase over and above the 3 percent across-the-board increase given to the mayor’s executive assistant Fran Harvey. Council member Tony Goss read a job description that was submitted by the mayor that said Harvey’s increase came because the mayor placed her in an “overlap position.” The job description indicated that Harvey was being trained to take over in community relations if and when Randy Thomas

The celebration in Shorter was short-lived after Montgomery Circuit Judge William Shashy, as Attorney General Luther Strange announced on Friday his intent to appeal the ruling that dismissed the State of Alabama’s civil forfeiture case against the casino and dog track. Shashy ruled that the seizure of $263,000 cash and 1,615 gaming machines that were confiscated by the state four years ago caused “great concern” and that it was apparent the State See APPEAL, Page A7

DEAR ABBY: I am a tattooed female in my late 20s. When I started a job as a cook in an assisted-living facility a year ago, I was required to go through an orientation and the dress code was explained. When I asked about visible tattoos, the lady who ran the orientation was unsure if they were allowed to show and told me to ask my manager. My manager said she didn’t know, but suggested I cover them anyway “just to be safe.”

Since then, I have worn long-sleeved polo shirts with the sleeves rolled up. No one has commented about the sleeves. Since I went through that orientation, two girls have been hired who have ink on their arms. They wear short sleeves every day. I’m wondering if I should just show up in short sleeves and risk someone saying something, email corporate and ask what the policy is, or ask our new executive director? Any thoughts? -- TO COVER OR NOT TO COVER DEAR T.C.O.N.T.C.: While displaying your tats may not be a problem considering that two other employees are showing theirs, your new executive director should be able to give you a definite answer to your question. And while you’re at it, suggest that because there are now three employees with tattoos, the policy should be

DEAR ABBY: I have been with my boyfriend for a little over two years. He recently mentioned that when he was younger (19), he had a threesome (two guys, one girl). We are both over 35, so I realize this happened many years ago, but the fact that it was two guys is hard for me. I can’t seem to get it out of my head. I keep seeing the images. I try to tell myself my boyfriend is a different man today than the teen he was. I don’t understand why it’s bothering me so much. How can I find a way to get past this? Please give me some direction. -- CAN’T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD DEAR CAN’T: I respect your boyfriend’s honesty and openness. Because you can’t get this out of your head, talk further with him about his youthful escapade. If your concern is that your boyfriend is interested in having sex with other men, ask him that ques-

Ruling should allow VictoryLand to reopen L

ast week’s verdict that VictoryLand be allowed to reopen is justice served. The people of Macon County voted for a constitutional amendment to allow for electronic bingo. The issue of pari-mutuel style casino betting and the closing of the ultramodern and successful luxury gaming resort in Macon County has been laid to rest. There have been extensive studies and articles that crystallize several obvious observations. First of all, gambling or gaming is an extremely profitable venture and it is apparent that most Alabamians and Americans gamble whether it be online, through a bookie or via a lottery. By the way, 48 of the 50 states receive revenue from gambling. Alabama and Utah are the only states that do not. The glaring question is why in the world would someone pick on VictoryLand when supposedly illicit gambling proliferates throughout the state and nation? Another perplexing question to the average Alabamian is why the Indian casinos are allowed to operate all over the state making millions and not paying any taxes yet VictoryLand, which pays taxes and provides jobs as a resort location in one of Alabama’s poorest counties, is closed. Finally, after years of legal battles, a court has made a ruling that the machines used to play electronic bingo in Alabama must be returned. Montgomery

STEVE FLOWERS Political Columnist

Circuit Court Judge William Shashy was picked by Chief Justice Roy Moore and the Alabama Supreme Court to hear the case. After lengthy deliberation, Judge Shashy ruled in favor of Macon County. Attorney General Luther Strange has prudently shown that he will allow the local district attorneys throughout the state to choose whether or not they want to pursue closing of other facilities that are open. It appears that VictoryLand will be able to reopen their facility and compete with the Indian casinos for tourists It is a big win for the people of Macon County. The VictoryLand Resort employed as many as 1,000 people in the county. Judge Shashy ruled properly. In fact, his ruling is the first time a court has actually decided the issue regarding the legality of electronic bingo. Again, Attorney General Luther Strange should be applauded for his independence and honesty. He has stated that it was a “fundamental fairness issue” that the state treat Indian and non-Indian casinos the same. Under our 1901 Alabama Constitution, counties are given very little authority. Therefore, they have to go through a cumbersome process to raise

revenue or even perform functions of government. Many times they have to go to the legislature to pass legislation granting them authority and then they further have to have an election and vote on an amendment to the state constitution. Even though this labyrinth is long and arduous, it does carry the weight of being a part of the Constitution. The people of Macon County, through legislative action and subsequent referendum, overwhelmingly approved their county’s right to have gaming via electronic bingo. Macon County’s constitutional amendment is different from other counties. They were ahead of the curve and knew exactly what they wanted. Their Representative was Johnny Ford and their Senator was Myron Penn. These men were clearly up front about the kind of bingo machines they intended to use. As a member of the House of Representatives at the time, I recall Johnny Ford telling me that he had traveled to other parts of the country to see firsthand how electronic bingo worked. They crafted their amendment to have this type of game. Furthermore, in the referendum the proponents made sure Macon County voters knew that their measure focused on electronic bingo. Their intent was made crystal clear in ads, flyers, meetings and media responses in which they informed Macon County residents of their intent.

The people overwhelmingly voted in favor of the constitutional amendment, but their constitutional rights have been trampled for more than three years. VictoryLand is Macon County’s Mercedes, Airbus and UAB. Hopefully, they can now move on with their lives. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist.

ACPRD’s 50+ is busy this summer

he Alexander City Parks & Recreation 50+ Aquatic Exercise program participants had really been working hard to build up their water movements and learning to modify moves to fit their needs. We will be going into the fifth week of the program leaving only seven more weeks for Rockin’ the Pool! The time will be changing for the Morning class just a bit with an added extra class experience using the water belts starting at 8:30 this Wednesday and regular class style will still start at 9. Noon class attendees are welcomed to invite anyone that can at least touch the bottom in the shallow end of the pool to class. Make it a family fitness time or get your coworkers to try out the class on your lunch break. On Monday, June 22 the Guys & Dolls group, met up at the local movie house for an afternoon of beat the heat, relax and enjoy a movie scheduled just for us thanks to Daniel! We watched “Still Alice” and to be totally honest it was a teary and somber film that was very well acted. We all felt saddened, but it was a really moving and touching movie. We are defiantly going with a comedy for our

CORLEY HOLT AND LUCILLE THOMPSON Senior Moments

next gathering! Which is by the way scheduled for Monday, July 13 at 2:30 and again we want to thank Playhouse Cinema for all that they do for our ACPR 50+ program!

Bud Champion got his seafood platter as did Roger Smith and speaking of Roger, we got to surprise him with birthday cupcakes that his sweet wife had to sneaky around to make without him know. She also had to fib just a little when he did find them in the kitchen before she could hide them! We had a good time with good food, delicious cupcakes for dessert and fellowship which is absolutely priceless. Can’t wait for our next group outing!

Holiday sure everyone stays safe. “We are looking for safety violations, boating under the influence, consumption by minor, public intoxication and reckless operation,” Marine Patrol Sgt. Mark Fuller said. “Every time we stop a boat we check all the safety equipment aboard the boat. We make sure everyone has a life jacket, the boat has a fire extinguisher and things like that.” In addition to having a safely operated boat, Fuller

continued from page 1

wants boaters to remember those young children in the boat. “If a child is under the age of 8 years old, they must be wearing a life jacket at all times on the boat, unless they are beneath deck in a cabin cruiser,” Fuller said. While the Marine Patrol is looking after the boaters on Lake Martin and Alabama’s other waterways, the Highway Patrol is looking to keep people driving the roads safe. “We are going to target

violations whose statistics suggest they are causing crashes,” ALEA Sgt. Steve Jarrett said Tuesday. “We are looking for speeding violations, DUI’s and seat belt violations. While seat belt violations don’t contribute to crashes, they have a significant impact on whether you walk away from a crash. ADECA is providing a grant so troopers can work additional patrol shifts for target enforcement of speeding, DUI’s and seatbelt viola-

tions.” Fuller has some additional advice for those on the lake this weekend. “Make sure all of your lights are working before you leave your boat dock or the boat ramp,” Fuller said. “If there is bad weather in the forecast, keep your life preservers out where you can put your hands on them and not just under the seat.” For those venturing to the fireworks show, Fuller has more advice. “Be early,” Fuller said. “Stay late. Keep your docking lights off as they can blind other boaters. If you are anchored, you still have to keep the 360 degree white light on. If you are drifting or floating, you have to also have your red and green bow lights on along with your stern light.” Fuller says the most chaotic time on the water will come July 4. “The most hectic time on the lake will be after the fireworks show on the Fourth,” Fuller said. “But by being courteous and patient should make for a safe trip home.”

Butcher that Butcher was active in so many areas that the Chamber wanted to honor those who embodied his community spirit. Johnson said that is why the Chamber established the Laeman Butcher Award. “No matter what program or event that was happening in the community, Laeman Butcher was always there to help,” Johnson said. “In fact, there weren’t many things that did happen back in the early days that weren’t a direct result of his concern and caring for the community. “So we wanted to establish something to give back to the community to honor and recognize a person who shares some of those qualities. That’s why the Laeman Butcher Award was established – to signify that sense of community above self that was so indicative of him.” Butcher was a dedicated family man with a soft spot in his heart for Veterans. He helped make a trip to Washington D.C. possible for a group of local vets to attend the dedication of the new World War II Memorial. He was a big supporter of Dadeville High School and the Quarterback Club often supplying and cooking the pre-game steak dinner for generations of Tigers. In addition to his civic side, Butcher was also active politically. Tallapoosa County Republican Party Chair Denise Bates said the community has “lost a leader with a big heart” and called Butcher a driving force behind the Tallapoosa County Republican Party. “Some of my fondest memories of Laeman were when I first moved here and my twins were still very small,” Bates said. “We would sit in what is now the Wellborn Musclecar Museum when Bob Riley was making his first run for office. We would be there, in what was the Republican

continued from page 1

Party Headquarters, stuffing envelopes, making phone calls doing what we could to help the cause. “He was kind of the father of the Republican Party in Tallapoosa County. He was a small businessman with a big heart and was so generous with his time and money. He would often give money he didn’t have to help a candidate that he believed in, but that was just the way that he was.” Tallapoosa County School Board member and Dadeville Chamber President Michael Carter remembered Butcher as a mentor. He was a leader in the community “He will be missed very much by this community,” Carter said. “He was a mentor to me as well as countless others here in Dadeville. He was just a leader in our community who would do anything for anyone, who asked. I don’t think there was a single cause that he didn’t gladly support either personally or through his store over the years, that’s how big his heart was. His passing definitely leaves a void in our community and it’s one that will be tough to fill.” Butcher, 81, is survived by his wife Doris Jean Butcher, three children: Thomas (Gail) Butcher, Karen White and Genise (Rick) Metzger, three grandchildren: Josh (Danielle) Fields, Brian (Shona) Butcher, Blake (Laure) Butcher and Lauren Butcher. 3 great-grandchildren: Mark Butcher, Adeline Field and Matthew Butcher. The family will welcome friends today from 5 to 7 p.m. at Alabama Funeral Homes, with services set for Thursday at 11 a.m. at the funeral home. Interment will follow at Tallapoosa County Memory Gardens. A complete obituary appears on page 2 of today’s paper.

Meeting retires. Shaw acknowledged that the job wasn’t posted and that it wasn’t brought before the council, but said he “has the authority to do that.” “She’s taken over our website and she’s writing grants,” Shaw said. “It’s an overlap position and I have the right to do that. …It’s the same that has been done by every mayor this city has had all the way back to Charles Bailey.” Spann disagreed. “No matter how you look at it, this one wasn’t handled right,” Spann said. “This manual says that to do something like this you write a new job description and you bring it before the council. That wasn’t done. As far as I’m concerned it’s null and void. We have to have fair and consistent application of the

www.alexcityoutlook.com

The Outlook continued from page 1 policies and procedures. It’s not a case where you can do what you want.” Shaw maintained that he had talked to Spann and Howard about the changes, but Howard said he didn’t recall that and Spann said it was presented to him a different way than what has transpired. When the back-and-forth conversation was over, Spann underscored his feelings. “The bottom line is that the personnel manual of Alexander City, Alabama was not followed,” Spann said. “Therefore it’s over. That’s the end of it.” That statement drew applause from the 84 people who were in attendance at the meeting. Council member Sherry

Ellison-Simpson questioned pay increases made to the city’s personnel director even though she had not completed the one-year probationary period. “It didn’t follow proper procedure and it shouldn’t be allowed,” Ellison-Simpson said. “That’s why we have this problem and why our salaries are all over the board. We aren’t following policy. It’s been a good ol’ boy system.” Tuesday’s developments were the latest in an issue that surfaced a little more than a month ago. The council has voted to freeze pay increases and new hires after learning that at least two dozen city employees received pay increases totaling more than $111,000 that were not approved by the city council. The city’s personnel handbook calls for pay increases to be “submitted through the

mayor to the city council for approval.” Since that time, the council broadened its scope and has inquired into all pay increases. Tuesday night City Finance Director Sandra Machen said that the increases that were not in the budget totaled “about $150,000.” Due to positions that have been left open, the city is still not over budget, but as Councilman Jim Spann said Tuesday, the increases simply “were not handled by the book.” Throughout the meeting Shaw defended his actions. He accused Councilman Tony Goss of social media posting that he said was making the issue “look like a circus” and alluded that the council was “making $425 an hour for sitting in one of these meetings and grumbling about someone making $10 an hour.” At the end of the meeting,

Shaw took aim at Machen, council members and The Outlook for their handling of the pay increase issue, while reading from a prepared statement, the paper shaking in his hands at times.

Page A7 After several heated exchanges, the meeting was adjourned with the understanding that the pay issue would be addressed again on Monday night, the next scheduled council meeting.

Appeal “is cherrypicking which facilities should remain open or closed.” In announcing his intent to appeal, Strange released a statement explaining the decision. Strange defended his position to appeal in a press release statement on Monday: “The Alabama Supreme Court ruled last November that electronic bingo is illegal in Alabama. Nothing in Judge Shashy’s order changes the outcome of the Supreme Court’s ruling,” Strange wrote. “As Attorney General I am bound to enforce the law and have done so in seeking rulings over the legality of gambling operations in Houston and Greene counties, at VictoryLand and at the Indian reservations. Unfortunately, Judge Shashy’s order did not address the legality of VictoryLand’s gambling machines. I am certain VictoryLand would not want to do anything illegal and should, therefore, welcome the Alabama Supreme Court’s ruling on whether VictoryLand’s machines are in compliance with state law.” The gaming center and hotel has had doors shuttered since law enforcement agents, at the behest of the Alabama

9U State tourney comes to a close as Florence defeats Alex City By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

The Cal Ripken 9U State Baseball Tournament came to a close Tuesday morning, as Florence Blue defeated the Alex City All-Stars 12-0 to capture the title. Alex City finishes the tournament as the state runner-up in 9U. Chris Brown, president of the Alexander City Baseball/Softball Board, said the tournament ran smoothly over the past three days at the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex. “We’ve had a great tournament. We had nine teams from all over Alabama come here to participate,” Brown said. “Everybody fought hard and there was a lot of good baseball. We (Alexander City) were fortunate to have our home team make it all the way to the championship game. They came up a little short, but I think all of the kids had fun, as well as the parents and the visitors to the city. Hopefully, everyone enjoyed it as much as we did to host it.” David Macoy, head coach of the Alex

City All-Stars, said that while his team finished as runner-up, he is proud of their efforts in what was a great tournament. “Well, obviously, the day didn’t end the way we wanted it to. We just had a day where we couldn’t get it together and they were the better team,” Macoy said. “But we came so far. I’m so proud of these kids. It was an unbelievable experience for them and I’m just proud for them. They worked very hard and deserve everything they got.” Florence Blue Coach Jody Hanson said the host site of Alexander City for the state tournament was one of the best his team has been to. “It was a great tournament. The facilities here are first-rate,” Hanson said. “This is our third year in a row to win the state championship – we won it when the kids were seven, eight and now nine – so, we’ve played in a lot of places, but this is as good a place as we’ve been. The hospitality that everyone has shown here, they always got Robert Hudson / The Outlook us whatever we needed if we needed anything. It was just a first-rate experience and Alex City’s Chance Lumpkin, left, tries to make a play as Florence’s Jay Dobbs slides into it couldn’t have been better.” second base.

Generals building strength over summer By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

The sound of metal clanging could be heard throughout the Horseshoe Bend fieldhouse early Tuesday morning, as the Generals wrapped up their final workout before the July Fourth holiday. Horsehoe Bend football Coach Jason Franklin said the Generals have been working out for about a month so far this summer, and will go throughout the month of July in preparation for the 2015 season. “We’ve been going since June 8, so we’ve been going about a month already,” Franklin said. “We’re about to break for Fourth of July and then we will come back on Monday. Then we’ll have another four weeks of workouts before we get started in the fall.” Franklin said since the off-season program began back in December, the Generals have made some changes to their workouts. He said the focus has shifted more toward power lifting in an effort to build more strength as a team. “We’re focusing heavy on more power lifting, more cleans and more dead lifts and higher weight this summer,” Franklin said. “We’re trying to see if we can build up a little extra strength that we’ve been missing, I’ve felt, these last couple of

years. We’ve changed up our whole workout with more Olympic power lifting right now than we’ve done in the past.” And as a team that employs a power-run style offense, the Generals are hoping that extra strength from their workouts will help them pound opponents as opposed to outrunning them. “Athletically, we’re not going to blow anyone’s doors off, so with us it’s more important than for probably any other program around here,” Franklin said. “The advantage we get comes out of the weight room. It’s almost dire that we really gain a lot of strength in the weight room.” Overall, Franklin said he has been pleased with the progress the Generals have made this off-season. “We’ve had a good off-season starting back in December with our guys who weren’t playing other sports. They’ve put on a lot of weight,” Franklin said. “We’ve seen senior Will Wilson put on some good strength, and Drew Hill has gotten a lot stronger. Brandon Heard is another that’s gotten stronger, and even our young guys have put on a lot of weight since December. That’s always a positive when you see your young players build their strength, too.” Horseshoe Bend will open fall practices on Aug. 3.

want to begin today by acknowledging a bit of a milestone for myself. If these words make it to print, it will be the 200th time a column of mine has appeared in this fine paper. It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly four years since this Auburn guy was offered an opportunity to voice his opinion, but I guess time flies when you’re having fun. I want to thank Kenneth Boone and all those at The Outlook for actually paying me to do something I thoroughly enjoy. When I was first approached about taking on this weekly responsibility, it was football season and I couldn’t see past the initial column. Naïvely, it didn’t occur to me that I would need to come up with something interesting to write about 199 more times and counting. I’ve reread some of my earlier work and, let’s just say, I sincerely hope I’ve gotten much better. Through it all, I’m extremely proud of one specific aspect. It’s not quite as easy as it sounds, but I can honestly say I have never repeated myself. It’s not quite as easy as it sounds, but I can honestly say I have never repeated myself. I also want to thank all of you who have taken a moment to tell me how much you enjoy my column. It means a great deal, but for some odd reason I think I get more complements from Alabama fans than I do from Auburn. Go figure. SEC media days are only a couple of weeks away and that means college football is just around the corner. Can you believe this year is already half over? Somebody slow this ride down so I can get off and look around for a minute. This time of year is always filled with preseason expectations and prognostications. The Golden Nugget in Las Vegas has even gone so far as to lay odds on all the big games in

ANDY GRAHAM Sports Columnist

2015. Alabama is favored in every game except for one. The Tide is even money on the road at Georgia in week 5. The wise guys have Auburn as the favorite in five games including the season opener against Louisville by 11.5 points. That means the Tigers will play the underdog role (at least as far as Vegas is concerned in the month of June) three times. Auburn is a 4 point dog on the road at LSU in week 3, a 6.5 point dog on the road at Arkansas in week 8 and a 3.5 point dog to Alabama at home on Nov. 28. Obviously, the whole point of betting lines is to encourage (you guessed it) betting. The lines usually move rather significantly during the week of the game. I can only imagine how much these will move being put out three months early. I don’t have a problem with Auburn being an underdog at LSU even though the Gus Bus flattened the Cajun Tigers 41-7 last year. Truth be told, Auburn hasn’t beaten LSU in Baton Rouge since 1999. I don’t have a problem with Alabama being an early favorite. They’ve earned it. I do have a problem with Arkansas being nearly a touchdown favorite. I don’t know what those guys are drinking, but I want the recipe. If that line holds up to the day of the game, I’ll eat this column. Again, I just want to thank everyone for their kind words over the years. Some weeks can definitely be a challenge, but I’ll brag on myself a little. I can honestly say that I have never repeated myself. Graham is a sports columnist for The Outlook.

Horoscope

JACQUELINE BIGARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STARS ARIES (March 21-April 19) --Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Âżnd that pressure builds no matter which way you turn. You know what is happening with an older relative, but others might not. Use your discretion here. Your Âżery temperament goes a long way in getting a project done. Tonight: Juggle all your different possibilities. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --You could be far more tired than you realize when you wake up, but the Full Moon will energize you as the day goes on. Be careful with your choice of words, because you still might be a little off-kilter. Take a walk if need be. Tonight: Juggle friends, calls and conversations. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --You might not want to have a discussion with a close loved one about money or your long-term direction right now. If you try to Âżght city hall, the outcome could be explosive. Discuss the situation with someone you respect before mouthing off. Tonight: Go with the Ă&#x20AC;ow. CANCER (June 21-July 22) --As a child of the Moon, handling a Full Moon will feel natural to you. You could be deciding how much you want to give in a relationship and what is too much. You might want to revise your opinion about a key person in your life. Detach if you can. Tonight: Easy works. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --You could be taken aback by what is being placed on your shoulders. Others count on you. Still, a sense of frustration is likely to emerge. Perhaps you need to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? more often. Your resentment will lessen, and others will not take you for granted so easily. Tonight: Rest up. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --You might be surprised by all the potential opportunities available to you. Your self-conÂżdence is peaking. Use this moment to go for what you want, especially in the relationship realm. You might be juggling more than you can handle. To-

night: Add romance to the moment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) --Stay anchored despite feeling pulled in two or three different directions. Remember your priorities. A matter involving real estate or your home life might emerge. You could feel somewhat overwhelmed by a choice you need to make. Tonight: Make it fun. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) --Communication seems to be overwhelming and conĂ&#x20AC;icting. Do your best to avoid making decisions or passing judgment right now. Enjoy hearing from each person, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decide anything just yet; otherwise, someone at a distance could get angry. Tonight: Hang out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) --Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in tune with others, but communicating could be challenging, especially if the topic is Âżnances. You might witness tension around those to whom you are Âżnancially tied. Avoid any reactions for now. Tomorrow you will see the situation differently. Tonight: At home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --The Full Moon is focusing on you and what you want. Though it might sound delightful to be in the limelight, you might get some Ă&#x20AC;ak here. Maintain your sense of humor and head in the direction that feels right to you. A loved one will seek you out. Tonight: Out and about. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) --You might be uncomfortable with todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Full Moon. Some of you could be depressed; others might be plotting an interesting scenario or project. Try not to take comments too personally. Know that everyone is under pressure right now. Tonight: Make it an early night. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) --You might feel as if you are walking in a dream, as you seem to notice a haze surrounding your ideas. A friend will break through it and be able to share good news that will positively affect you. Be careful with an emotional involvement.

Groups working to raise funds for Elmore County Humane Shelter T he year is now half gone, and here we are looking forward to July 4 and celebrating our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s independence on Saturday. We got some wonderful rains and a little cool-down so all should be set for a relaxing, enjoyable holiday and great food. The Chit-Chatters monthly luncheon group of ladies met last Thursday at Cozumel Mexican Grill in Eclectic, which is only tasty food thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the absolute best value for the money. I had my new favorite the combo with real chile relleno made authentically with poblano pepper and so delicious. We missed those that couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it and enjoyed the ones who came. This group began from the Equality United Methodist Church, but is open to all ladies, if anyone would like to join us. We meet either at the church (10:30) or at the lunching place at 11 a.m. on the last Thursday of each month and in July we are going to a great barbecue place on Highway 231, close to the Tutwiler Prison in Wallsboro. Ladies joining the group at Cozumel were Patty Self, Jean Sims, Linda Moseley, Edna Martin, Jackie Dean, Yvonne Myers, Jean Jordan, Janice Moses, Melinda Brown, and Rosie Morgan. EPAC met Friday June 26 in Equality to enjoy Nashvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Songwritersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s International singer/songwriter performing original country music, featuring his wry sense of humor and observations PUBLIC NOTICES
