Council rift comes to a head
Work session turns ugly as talk of trust and communication surface By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor
Cliff Williams / The Outlook
PRAISE, PIES AND GOOD TIMES
Public works reorganization, a soccer complex sidewalk and gymnastics were supposed to be the main topics of discussion at a Alexander City City Council work session, but it was apparent that a lack of communication and trust was what was really on their minds. After a lengthy discussion on the public works reorganization and who could best build a sidewalk, emotions boiled over and council members Bob Howard and Tony Goss tangled over a lack of communication. “Why is it that we are finding out things tonight, that we have never known before,” Goss said. “That takes us to communication. We should have known about these projects, but instead two of you go meet with the mayor and are making decisions without bothering to let us know. Start telling us things and you will be amazed at how things change.” Howard said he has apologized “a hundred times.” “We’ve said we handled things wrong, See COUNCIL, Page 3

DEAR ABBY: I have new downstairs neighbors. While they appear to be pleasant in most circumstances, I cannot ignore the fact that the wife cries inconsolably in their bedroom three or four times a week, late at night. I never hear any yelling or disruption that leads up to this, just loud sobbing in the bedroom that keeps me up several times a week. I don’t think she’s being abused,
but I do think she might be depressed. Can you think of any kind way to send her to my therapist up the street for some help? Stick a business card in their door anonymously? Bring it up more directly? -- UP ALL NIGHT IN WASHINGTON, D.C. DEAR UP ALL NIGHT: Talk privately with the woman and tell her you are concerned about her because you have heard her crying. Do not ask her why, but if she volunteers, listen to what she has to say. She may need a grief support group or, as you suggested, a therapist. If either of those is the case, you should suggest it.

she’s not interested in learning from you. From where I sit, you not only were not critical of her, but the opposite was true of what happened in that kitchen. If she hadn’t laughed at you -- ridiculed you -- for the way you emptied the ice tray, you wouldn’t have felt it necessary to explain your technique. So take a step back and stop trying to help her, because it’s obviously not appreciated.

DEAR ABBY: I’m frustrated about how to connect with my young adult son’s 18-year-old girlfriend. He told me she has a bad relationship with her divorced parents, so he’s hoping we can bond. A problem that comes up frequently is, she’s so anxious to show me how skilled and knowledgeable she is, she misses any tips and techniques I try to subtly teach her. They live together in another state, so our weekend visits at each other’s homes seem to amplify the problem. I’ll give you an example: When I removed ice cubes from an ice tray, I ran water over the bottom briefly before twisting the tray. She laughed like I was clueless and said, “You don’t have to do that, just twist the tray!” I replied that the water helped release the cubes more cleanly “because of the physics

Friday’s Sun Festival ‘Pie in the Sky Treasure Hunt’ clue
Off Hwy. 280 • Alexander City, AL (On Right Past the River Bridge)
Obituaries
The Pie in the Sky Treasure Hunt is sponsored by USAmeribank and worth $200 each day. Each daily winner is entered in the drawing for $1,000 to be given away at the David Nall concert. If you find the medallion, call Kowaliga Country and then bring the medallion to the Outlook offices to pick up a check and have your picture made for the next day’s paper. Good luck hunters!! Today’s clue: There is a heroic fictional American who gets his name from two local landmarks. Combine Alex’s home and where the fish swim too, and you’ll then know who. But knowing a name is only half the clue. The other half? Well, let’s just say… Mother wouldn’t like for you to use your hand this way.
Mitch Sneed / The Outlook
Laylan Barnes and her mom Laina Barnes worked together to find Thursday’s Pie in the Sky Treasure Hunt medallion. Laina said the clues prompted her husband to tell them to look at the Tallapoosa Christian Crisis Center on Dadeville Road and that’s where they found the medallion at about noon. They won $200 and are eligible for the $1,000 grand prize.

but it’s the job of the council president to meet with the mayor so he can advise us on things,” Howard said. “I’m not going to apologize for that.” Goss said he just feels he needs information to be effective as a councilman. “No one is more important than the other,” Goss said. There are six of us and we were all elected the same way to do the same job. Until they learn to communicate with us, it’s going to stay like this.” That’s when Alexander City resident and former councilman Bill Young stood up and unloaded. “You all are embarrassing Alexander City,” Young said. “It makes me sick. Get together – the council and the mayor. Stop this now. People have had enough of all this. Stop it and do what’s right for Alexander City.” With that Young left the room.

While details of the package that will go to the winner is still being finalized, MainStreet’s Missing Piece competition will award the winner a grand prize winner up to $100,000 in goods, services and expertise. MainStreet Board Member Stephanie Smith said that more details will be released as they are finalized, but said the quality of the ideas and the enthusiasm all the participants generated was impressive. “There were here 5260 votes cast among the four voting venues which were The Outlook poll, newspaper ballots, Facebook likes and the MainStreet website,” Smith said. “The Coffee Corner won, but all of the finalists were separated by only about 100 votes. That shows how much interest there was.”
employees, which would save the city more than $58,000 per year. “Considering all that, I’ve been trying to figure out why people have a problem with this and I’m afraid to do with a lack of trust,” Brewer said. “Maybe that’s it. I’ve been here 18 years and I’ve never been a part of anything that is other than what is best for this city. I want to get by that and do whatever to mend anything I may have to do to repair that trust. It’s a 100 to nothing slam dunk. It saves us money. It makes us more efficient. I will debate that with anyone. If someone can prove otherwise, I will be fine with it. But if it’s something else, then let me know what I can do to fix it.” Councilman Jim Spann said that he believes that people need to get by their opposition and their feelings about how the reorganization was implemented and the raises were given. “The problem is that

I now know they can’t be done that way,” Brewer said. “Because the number of jobs was going down and the budget dollar amount was going down and not up it was Ok to do it that way. Trust me, I know now and it won’t happen again.” The motion to approve the pay raises and the reorganization plan could be on the next agenda for the council. The council also heard why it was important to offer a contract to build a sidewalk at the soccer complex up for bid rather than have it done in house. Parks and Recreation Director Sonny Wilson said it came down to time and quality of work. “They asked us to push our capital projects back so that some of the more important ones in other departments could go first,” Wilson said. “By doing that, it now means that we only have a couple of months to get it done.

I checked with them and because of the time and all they have to do, it made more sense for us to bid it out, so that’s what we did.” There was no decision made on whether to bring the bid back before the council or what the status of the 1,300-foot sidewalk is at this point.

Sun Festival: More going on than we can get in the paper
Sun Festival W in Alex City at its finest
A
lexander City’s Sun Festival is winding up this weekend. It’s been a week of recordbreaking crowds despite some extra hot and extra stormy weather. This year, the Sun Festival was expanded to include 59 events and many of the of the first-timers – like the pie baking contest held Thursday morning – were very popular and lots of fun. If you haven’t had a chance to attend a Sun Festival event this week, you’ve still got time and we strongly encourage you do to so. Sun Festival is a project of the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce, designed to increase community spirit, bring in new tourism and stimulate local business. It is working. Normally there’s not much activity in Alexander City in late July – most of the action moves out to Lake Martin. That’s not the case during Sun Festival. We’re sure the Band Battle at Strand Park and the second presentation of A Very Rich Woman tonight, all the Saturday daytime events and the grand finale, the David Nail concert and Winn Dixie Fireworks Show will all draw big crowds. But there are plenty of other events left that are sure to interest a wide variety of people, from a sidewalk chalk art contest to a health cook-off, pontoon time on Lake Martin, restaurant specials and a Wet ‘n Wild time at the city pool … there’s lots and lots going on at this year’s Sun Festival. And it benefits everyone who lives here. We hope you cut off the TV, get off the sofa and get out of the house to enjoy the Sun Festival fun before it winds up Saturday night. It’s a great way to support your community, spend time with friends and neighbors and enjoy the best parts of living in a small, active community like Alexander City. We hope to see you at the Festival.
Friday, July 24, 2015
The
e are heading into the stretch run for this year’s Sun Festival and these last two days promise to be something special. Folks at the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce tell us that they have had a ton of interest in the David Nail concert Saturday night at the Sportplex and if you have never seen the Winn Dixie Fireworks Show, you are missing an extravaganza. For us here at the newspaper, it’s like Charles Dickens from a “Tale of Two Cities.” It’s the best of times and the worst of times. It is great to have so many exciting things to cover, but we struggle with such a small staff to get to them all. We just hope that we helped the people of Alexander City realize what all has happened and give our readers a capsulized look at all the fun. Our hats are tipped to the Alexander City Chamber, the sponsors, the volunteers and to all the participants. Something like this, 59 events over eight days, wouldn’t be possible without a tremendous cooperative effort. Thank you all for making this new Alexander City tradition something special. There has been so much going on, I thought I would use this space to share some of the memories that I will carry with me for years and years from this year’s Sun Festival. PRECIOUS PAGEANT: I want to start by saying that I would rather go to the dentist than sit through a beauty pageant. I believe that they are great things that help building self-esteem, but as a man I just don’t understand contests or games that don’t have a scoreboard so I know who is winning. With that said, the Miss Sun Festival pageant produced one of the most vivid pictures that I have seen this week. When
MITCH SNEED Editor
Jakya Sims was announced as Little Miss Sun Festival, her expression was priceless. First, there was a big, toothless smile, then shock, hands over her mouth and then the flood of tears. The best part is that it was so genuine. It wasn’t Taylor Swift at an awards show shock, it was a little girl who had just saw her dream come true. It was incredible. DOGGONE GOOD: Our Cliff Williams is one of the hardest working people I have ever been around in this business. He has captured some of the most incredible images this week at Sun Festival. To see two dogs sharing a snow cone at Monday’s parade was a great shot. The way he worked to get the perfect angle was incredible and gave our readers something great to see. PLAY PERFECT: A Very Rich Woman got rave reviews from those who attended the first staging. There is another show tonight and a third on Sunday. I think the turnout proves that there is a place for community theater in Alexander City. Our own Angela Mullins was a scenestealer with her lines as the maid in the show. I knew she was funny, but now that was funny. Congratulations to Betsy and Rob Iler and all the folks who made this possible. It was months and months of work and the effort really shows. VETERAN HONOR: This town always goes out to honor its Veterans. During Sun Festival the way that Harbor Learning Center performed for the folks at Bill Nichols Veterans Home and the smiles
that came across the faces of the Vets as the Kountry Kritters played was something great to see. We thank all the folks who worked so hard to make this possible. THANK YOU SIR: I have to close with a word of thanks. Have you ever had one of those days when you get to work tired? You have had a long week and the frustration level is high? Have you ever had a day where you feel like no matter how hard you work, or what you do, there is simply no way to get it all done and make everyone happy? I was having one of those days Thursday. Then enter Maurice Blackwelder. While covering the RMC Pie Baking Contest in the humid morning air Thursday, I was mopping sweat, dreading all that I had to do on that day. That’s when Mr. Blackwelder approached me. “Are you Mitch Sneed from the Outlook,” Blackwelder said with his hand extended. “Yes sir I am,” I answered. “I just wanted to shake your hand and tell you that you are the best thing that has happened to this newspaper in the 70 years that I have lived here. We are so glad that you are here. I want to tell you that you are doing a good job and we hope that you will stay for a long, long time. This town needs you.” Now talk about something that will change your day. I know that he was only being kind, but he will never know how much his kind words meant to me. I love this town and I love what I do. It’s just great to know that people notice the effort. That’s what Sun Festival does. It brings people out and gets them together. Events like this make a community special. Sneed is the editor of The Outlook.

Today’s
Dear Editor, What a time the children had at the Brainiac Boot Camp Summer Reading Program. We want to thank the sponsors, United Way, Sharon Fuller, Alexander City Schools and Dr. Darrell Cooper and Pediatric Associates of Alex City and Dr. Eric Tyler. We thank them all for the smiles they put on the faces of more than 200 children. Where do I start? They learned a lot, seen a lot of things. They were treated to a snake show, a bird show even seeing a real live “War Eagle.” They skyped to children halfway around the world in France. D.A.R.E. Officer Cpl. Marcus. Billups was there, teaching them safety rules when walking. They learned when to stop and go. The Police K9 dog was
there. The Russell nursing student was awesome. They met Aubie from Auburn, and the Tigers from Benjamin Russell. They read books, and checked out even more books from the library that they were able to read through the week. They made rainbows. They had different story readers everyday. We had young students to that got be our leaders and they took us around our stations and from place to place. I can’t begin to tell it all. It was so much and every one was great. I want to say thank you all for the best and biggest Boot Camp ever. Arlean Wyckoff Alexander City

JACQUELINE BIGARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STARS ARIES (March 21-April 19) --A loved one will demonstrate his or her caring in a big way. You might want to clear the way to do something very different, but you also must remain sensitive to this person. Remember to express compassion, and listen to his or her ideas. Tonight: In the whirlwind of life. TAURUS (April 20-May 20--Stay responsive to others, as they seem to want to be dominant right now. Pressure builds and could force your hand. Clearly, you need to communicate better. Understand what your expectations are from others. Make sure they understand yours as well. Tonight: Defer. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --Playing catch up might not be fun, but it will be necessary. In your recent jubilant mood, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll discover how carefree you can be. However, be sure not to let your responsibilities fall to the wayside. Worry less about your plans and more about your to-do list. Tonight: Join friends. CANCER (June 21-July 22) --You could be at your witsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; end and might feel as if you need a break. You will Âżnd that you are able to Ă&#x20AC;ow through different issues and responsibilities. As a result, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll free yourself to do whatever you want. Make plans for the weekend if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet. Tonight: TGIF! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --Get back to the basics when dealing with a personal matter, a relative or even a work-related issue. You know what is best for you. Lighten up, even if there is some tension surrounding you. This too will pass. Tonight: Head home early, but Âżrst join a friend for Happy Hour. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --Your efforts to reach out to someone will succeed. You might get some Ă&#x20AC;ak, but it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be enough to deter you from your objective. Expect an unusual tale, and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised when you hear the other side of the story. Be more forthright. Tonight: Make it easy.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) --Be aware of the costs of making certain plans, as not everyone will agree with your choices. You could be worried about a personal matter that is consuming your thoughts. Slow down if you can. Think before you leap. Tonight: Make it your treat. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) --Listen to a friend who seems to have some thoughts and ideas to share. You might be a little out of whack when trying to move forward with a personal matter. Your spontaneity could backÂżre, so be careful. Communication might need some revision. Tonight: The party begins. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) --You might want to rethink a personal matter. You could be uncomfortable with the outcome if you act too quickly. You are best off not overthinking the issue. Try to move in a new direction if possible. Make sure a plan is well-thoughtout. Tonight: In the thick of things. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --Focus on your goals right now. Zero in on what is important, and Âżgure out what needs to happen. A long-term desire could possibly manifest and become a reality. Touch base with a child or loved one. You have reason for celebration. Tonight: Pop a bottle of bubbly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) --Pressure builds and forces you to take charge. You will have little choice, as everyone seems to be looking to you. Demonstrate your sensitivity with various issues. Your empathy will help draw others toward you. Understand your limits. Tonight: A must appearance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) --The more you detach, the more likely it will be that a wonderful meeting of the minds is the outcome. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t underestimate the people around you. How you view an important matter is subject to change after some important conversations. Tonight: Make sure music surrounds you.

RUNNING START Rebels focused on conditioning heading into new season By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor
The Reeltown Rebels are set to make the transition from summer to fall when practices kick off on Aug. 3. Reeltown football Coach Jackie O’Neal said the Rebels have been doing a good job in workouts, as attendance has been high for the summer months of June and July. “Workouts have been going great for us. We’ve just been running and lifting weights with our strength and conditioning program,” O’Neal said. “We’ve set our weight program this year where our kids would have three opportunities with one in the morning and two in the afternoon to workout with three days a week in June. Then for July, we changed it over to four days a week with the same schedule as far as times that they could workout each day, and they’ve been really receptive to that.” Instead of putting in plays this summer, O’Neal said the Rebels have been focusing on technique and fundamentals. He said the team is about where he expected it to be heading into fall practices. “We’ve basically just been working on techniques and things like that. We already know what we want to do. We’ve only ran a few plays here and there, but we don’t do any 7-on-7 or stuff like that,” O’Neal said. “We won’t get into that much until fall camp. They’ve been doing well in workouts for the junior high and the varsity level, so we feel like we’re pretty close to being where we need to be this time of year.” Along with technique, an emphasis has been placed on special teams during the summer. “We’ve got an opportunity to do a lot of the special teams work in the summer because you can’t hit or anything like that,” O’Neal said. “It’s an opportunity to line up and do special teams and learn a lot more of that.” With the focus placed squarely on conditioning this summer, O’Neal said he expects the Rebels to be slightly ahead of the curve once practice officially begins on Aug. 3. “What we usually want to accomplish the first week we’ve already been able to accomplish through the summer, which is getting into better physical condition,” O’Neal said. “Since the rules changed where you can wear your helmets and all, that gives you a head start on days that you can use it during the summer and you don’t have to wait until that first week of practice to go out there and labor around with your helmets on. We’re a little more acclimated to wearing helmets this time of year. Fall is the time of year, it is more about trying to fine tune what you want to run on the defensive and offensive side of the ball and working on your special

teams.” With a quick turnaround from the start of practice to the Aug. 20 season opener at Childersburg, conditioning will be particularly important for the Class 2A Rebels as they open with a gauntlet that includes a trio of 4A opponents. “Considering the people that we play, it’s important that we hit the ground running. If not, we’ll get our eyes beat in,” O’Neal said. “We’ve got Childersburg, then we’ve got Dadeville and then
we’ll fall back down into our region with LaFayette and will kind of get a chance to catch our breath. We’ll then get Horseshoe Bend and we’ve got Elmore County coming to us. So, that first five or six weeks is pretty grinding and real physical because when you play three 4A schools out of the first five ballgames, naturally they’re going to have numbers on you. So, it’s important that you stay healthy and be in as good a physical condition that you can be in.”
The South All-Stars snapped a 12-year losing streak Wednesday night beating the North 72-65 at Alabama State University’s DunnOliver Acadome to claim its first North-South boys all-star basketball victory since 2002. The North leads 46-26 in the Alabama High School Athletic Association series hosted by the Alabama High School Athletic Directors & Coaches Association. The first game was played in 1953 at Tuscaloosa. South 6-foot-8 center Kevin Morris, the South MVP, scored 13 points and cleared seven rebounds – both team highs – to snap the North domination.

Keeping football safe is just as important as keeping the game great
W
ith the Alabama High School Athletic Association’s rules meeting for football being held this week in Montgomery, it’s got me thinking about safety in football. The AHSAA recently implemented new bylaws to limit the amount of practice time teams can use on full-contact drills during the season. This week, coaches from around the state are learning the AHSAA definition of what exactly qualifies as full contact. In talking with each coach from around our area, the general sentiment is that the new regulations might not affect team practices all that much, mostly because teams limit the amount of contact they do during the season anyway in order to limit injuries. And it’s been that way for years, honestly. I can remem-
ROBERT HUDSON Sports Editor
ber my days on playing high school football where the first few days of the week were used with full-pads contact spread throughout practice, Thursday would be a shorts and helmets walkthrough and Fridays were, of course, gamedays. I doubt even back then we spent a total of 120 minutes, a part of the new restrictions, doing contact. But the AHSAA’s intentions certainly mean well. As Horseshoe Bend Coach Jason Franklin told me in a recent interview, everyone involved wants to make sure football is
as safe as it can possibly be so that the game we all love can last for generations. Safety has been at the forefront of the conversation for football at all levels. Even the Big XII Conference of college football has tossed around the idea of limiting contact in practices to reduce injuries. And, of course, every football fan from sea to shining sea remembers the recent lawsuit and subsequent settlement against the National Football League regarding concussions. Toss in the well-publicized deaths of players such as Junior Seau because of headinjury related problems such as CTE (Chronic traumatic encephalopathy) and you can understand why the game has been rapidly changing and been under attack regarding safety. Football, by it’s very nature, is a violent sport. That’s one
thing that will never change as long as the game is played the way it is. But that doesn’t mean we can’t make it safer. All of the changes underway to make the game safer, while also trying to preserve what’s so great about football in the first place, should be applauded. Even though I, like other fans around the country, groaned when the kickoff was moved up to limit returns and thus limit high-speed collisions in football, we all have to acknowledge that some changes need to be made to make football safer. Changing the rules is only one part of that. The other part is teaching players how to protect themselves. I’m sure if you ask any coach in the area, they’ll tell you that proper tackling technique goes a long way toward limiting injuries on the grid-
iron. This current generation, a generation I am a part of, is one that I call the “Sportscenter” or “Hit Stick” generation. That is, most players today are more interested in rushing head first into an opponent without wrapping up and making a proper tackle in hopes of making the crowd go “OOOOOOH!” or making some kind of highlight reel. It’s a mentality that needs to be reversed in order to increase player safety, and a sentiment that I’m sure every coach shares. It’s important that we continue to make those changes while also keeping football great, but what’s more important is protecting the athletes who suit up every Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the fall.
