Council to again take on pay hikes

Honoring those who signed for freedom On this day, 56 brave men ratified Declaration of Independence By David Granger

n July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, which laid out the reasoning for the colonies’ wish to be free of Britain and its tyrannical king. Fifty-six men signed the document, some famous, others not. Here are a few facts about the men who signed the document that made our country free and the reason we still celebrate this day as Independence Day.  The Declaration was drafted by the Committee of Five – Massachusetts’ John Adams, Pennsylvania’s Ben Franklin, Virginia’s Thomas Jefferson, New York’s

Let the celebration begin!!

Residents got their celebration started early with events Friday in Hackneyville and Alexander City. Above Rexton Lee kept the crowd in Hackneyville entertained, with his Southern Rock and country sound. In Alexander City, The Nelons performed for the crowd, but Mother Nature provided her own fireworks in the form of lightning, delaying the pyrotechnic display until after Outlook deadline. For more photos from the celebrations, see Tuesday’s Outlook.

How will the Alexander City City Council follow a work session filled with explanations, accusations, denials, heated exchanges and finger pointing over pay increases to some city employees that legal counsel and council members believe were improperly awarded? Hopefully with some action to put the issue to rest. The city council will hold its regular meeting Monday at 5:30 p.m. in the third floor courtroom at the Alexander City Public Safety Building. Tuesday, the council appeared to be poised to approve some of the raises and reject a $16,561 increase given to the mayor’s executive assistant, as well as one to the city’s human resources director that was given while she was still a probationary employee. The council agreed to take it up at Monday’s meeting. Among the 13 other items on the agenda are the declaring of four properties a public nuisance under the city’s weed abatement ordinance and a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement with Foresite for professional services to renovate Hamp Lyon Stadium.

Horseshoe Bend National Military Park is built on land collected from Alabama Power Co. and the state of Alabama that was once slated to be a part of Lake Martin. The park is located less than 30 minutes from Alexander City.

For almost a month now, Dadeville’s Foodland has featured a new smiling face at the checkout. He’s 20-year-old bagboy Jhmiyas Moss and he’s quickly becoming so adept at his job that few people who come through the grocery would ever know that he has a disability. “He’s doing very well, doing a wonderful job,” said Angie Gonyo, manager of Foodland. “So far, anything we’ve asked him to do, he’s done it. We just have to ask him to repeat his directions back to us and he does what he’s supposed to do.” According to Moss’ grandmother, Faye Tinsley, he was diagnosed with autism when he was 8.

Husband’s long hours make married life lonely for wife

Sunday

DEAR ABBY: I’m 19 and I got married six months ago to the love of my life! We have a great relationship despite how young we are. There’s one problem though: my husband’s job. His shift is 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., six days a week, and when he is not working, he’s sleeping, so he has no time for me at all and it’s killing our marriage. We spend maybe eight hours together a week. I’m feeling extremely alone. I know it’s not his fault because he has to keep this job to support us, but the very thing that is supporting us is tearing us apart. What do I do? Please help. -- LONELY MARRIED WOMAN DEAR LONELY: With the schedule your husband is working, you should have time in the mornings and evenings to spend with each other -plus Sundays. However, if your days are spent sitting around at home, then what you need to do is find an activity to fill your lonely hours. You could

DEAR ABBY Advice

take some classes, find a job and help out with the finances, or meet him for lunch. If that’s not possible, look around for volunteer opportunities in your community. Worthwhile organizations can always use a helping hand. DEAR ABBY: My best friend from college asked me to be in her wedding, and I was excited and happy to agree. Unfortunately, her wedding falls on the same weekend as my older sister’s. Due to the distance and other family obligations, I won’t be able to attend my sister “Sara’s” wedding. Sara has been understanding about it, but she is upset. I want to be as helpful as possible with the planning and

preparation process as Sara is now down one bridesmaid, but I am unsure how best to do it. Is it proper to still participate in all of the bridal party activities, planning the shower, throwing a bachelorette party, etc., even though I cannot attend the ceremony? Should I try to travel there the weekend before to help with any last-second preparations for the ceremony? -- DOUBLE-BOOKED BRIDESMAID DEAR DOUBLE-BOOKED: I don’t blame Sara for being upset. The relationship between sisters is supposed to last a lifetime. On the other hand, the bonds of friendship can loosen as years pass, and often do. Frankly, I think you made the wrong choice in deciding which wedding to participate in -- and in the interest of family harmony, you should do for your friend what you would like to do for your sister. DEAR ABBY: I like to wear a suit and tie to a church

Robert R. Livingston and Connecticut’s Roger Sherman. Jefferson, who was known as the strongest and most eloquent writer among the five, wrote the majority of the document.  As president of the Continental Congress, John Hancock was the first to sign the completed and ratified document. As the first signer, Hancock, a Massachusetts merchant, placed his signature on an entirely blank space, making it the largest and most famous of the 56. We still use the term “John Hancock” as a synonym for signature today.  Franklin was 70 when he signed the document, making him the oldest of the group. Edward Rutledge, 26, of South Carolina was the youngest.  Two future presidents signed – John Adams (second President) and Thomas Jefferson (third President). Both died on the 50th anniversary of signing the Declaration, July 4, 1826. There are 12 counties nationwide named Adams and 26 named Jefferson.

 Livingston, though on the Committee of Five that drafted the Declaration, was recalled by his state before he could sign it.  Button Gwinnett signed the Declaration representing Georgia. Later, he led an abortive attempt to invade Florida, in order to secure Georgia’s southern border. Lachlan McIntosh and his brother George thwarted that adventure. Gwinnett was charged with malfeasance. He was cleared of wrongdoing as he ran an unsuccessful campaign for Governor. Soon afterward, his honor challenged in public by McIntosh and Gwinnett offered a duel. They met outside of Savanna on May 16, 1777, where both were wounded. McIntosh ultimately survived, but Gwinnett died three days later at the age of 42.  Pennsylvania signer Robert Morris was a man of great wealth. In late 1776, with the Continental Army in a state of severe deprivation because of a shortage of capital and the failure of several of the colonies in paying for the war, Morris loaned $10,000 of his own money to the government. This

money provisioned the desperate troops, who went on to win the Battle of Trenton (Washington Crossing). Throughout the war he personally underwrote the operations of privateers, ships that ran the British Blockades at great risk and thus brought needed supplies and capital into the colonies.  Benjamin Rush, a Pennsylvania signer, secretly campaigned for the removal of George Washington as the Continental Army’s commander in chief.  Eldridge Gerry of Massachusetts was much criticized for redistricting the state to the advantage of his own party (Democratic-Republican). That incident was the source of the term gerrymandering.  Francis Lewis of New York lost all his property on Long Island to the destruction of the Revolution.  Carter Braxton of Virginia loaned 10,000 pounds sterling to support the revolutionary cause. He also used his wealth to sponsor shipping and privateering during the conflict, the losses from which eventually resulted in debt. He never recovered, and,

in 1786, was forced to leave his inherited country estate for simple quarters in Richmond. n George Wythe of Virginia was accidentally poisoned by a member of his own family who wished to poison Wythe’s slaves, who were set to inherit a portion of his estate.  Richard Stockton of New Jersey was captured by the British when New Jersey was overrun in November of 1776. He was not released until several years later, badly treated and in very poor condition. He was taken to Perth Amboy where he was jailed. Stockton was then moved to Provost Prison in New York where he was intentionally starved and subjected to freezing cold weather. After nearly five weeks of abusive treatment, he was released on parole, his health battered. He returned to his estate, which had been occupied by General Cornwallis during his imprisonment. All his furniture, household belongings, crops and livestock were taken or destroyed by the British. His library, one of the finest in the colonies, was burned. He died of cancer on February 28, 1781.

“We knew that he showed all the signs, such as not being able to tolerate loud noise, echolalia (repeating what is said to him) when someone speaks and being fixated with certain objects,” Tinsley said. “It was difficult to accept that he was different.” And heartbreaking when Moss told his mother, after his graduation from Dadeville High School, the he didn’t know what he was going to do with his life. But Moss’ family had him tell them some places he might like to work. Foodland was among those places. According to Tinsley, it was one of Moss’ favorite places to go. “He’s always liked Foodland and wanted to work there,” Tinsley said. “He’s always liked the people there and the way the store was organized. He likes the wide aisles and the way that everything is accessible to him.” But, after filling out applications at Foodland and several other places, Moss met with no employment success. Then Tinsley heard about the Jackie Johnson Employment Agency in Auburn, which specializes in clients with disabilities, and Jhmiyas was partnered with a job coach from the agency, Michael Taylor. Taylor served as a go-between for Moss and Foodland. “It was sort of difficult,” said Taylor, who has about 80 clients from throughout a six-county area. “Jhmiyas has been in my caseload for about four months. Some businesses wouldn’t budge because of his disability. But with Foodland we were able to go back and forth and work things out. I’m here with him full-time every day that he works, so they got sort of a two-forone deal. That’s one of the biggest things is just getting the business to give someone like Jhmiyas a chance.” Tinsley said that Moss wanted her to make sure to visit him on his first day of work on June 8. She made it to the store and Moss wanted her to come through the line at which he was working. “I told him I couldn’t go through his line, because I was late and had to get to work,” Tinsley said. “But after I checked out, I went over to speak with him and he showed me his apron and his nametag and I told him how nice he looked. He still wants to show me those things when I come in and I tell him, ‘Jhmiyas, I’ve already seen your apron, but you look nice today, too.’” On Monday, Moss followed one customer through the Foodland +

parking lot to her car, pushing her buggy full of groceries. As they walked, he engaged the woman in conversation, a smile on his face all the while. Once at the car, the customer opened her trunk and Moss carefully placed the groceries inside. As he made his way back inside, Moss waved to a co-worker, who waved back. “That’s what I teach,” said Taylor, who is at the store every time Jhmiyas is working. “And Jhmiyas is catching on about being able to communicate with customers and co-workers. And he’s good now about putting the groceries where they need to go and how to bag.” And Moss is making some money, too, according to his grandmother. “The first day, he came home showing us the tip money he had made, thinking that was his salary,” Tinsley chuckled. “We had to explain to him that those were his tips for helping people get their groceries to the car and that not everyone would give him a tip.” And when Moss finally got his paycheck, Tinsley took him to cash it. He still has every cent, she said. “I took him to the bank and he was so proud,” Tinsley said. “They cashed it and gave him the money and he’s been holding onto it. I don’t think he’s bought anything with it.” Gonyo says she’s happy to have played a part in Moss’s employment at Foodland. “I think it’s great for his selfesteem to be doing something, working and doing his part,” Gonyo said. “He’s always very excited to come to work. I worked with a lot of special needs children when I was a principal at a Catholic school in Florida. You just have to remember that they’re just like everyone else. They want to contribute. They want to do their part. You just have to treat them the same and expect from them the same results. Just be a little more patient with them and they’ll be fine.” Tinsley issued a challenge to other businesses in Tallapoosa County. “I challenge all local businesses to give people with exceptionalities a chance at employment,” Tinsley said. “That’s all they need is a chance.” As for Moss, he said, “I just wait on the customers,” and flashed the smile that Foodland regulars are becoming so used to.

Red Stick barricade had stood and imagined what Jackson had described the Creeks had impressively built in what were then woods thick with pine, oak and hickory. “It is impossible to conceive a situation more eligible for defense than the one they had chosen and the skill which they manifested in their breastwork was really astonishing,” Jackson wrote later. “It extended across the point in such a direction as that a force approaching would be exposed to a double fire, while they lay entirely safe behind it. It would have been impossible to have raked it with cannon to any advantage …” Later, I stood inside the horseshoe of horseshoe bend, just north of the Tallapoosa River where the tiny Red Stick village of Tohopeka once stood. Creek women and children were encamped there at the time of the battle – a battle that, according to one of the militiamen who was there, turned so savagely vicious that the water of the Tallapoosa River turned red with the blood of the dead and injured for several hours. I saw all of this within a comfortable 30 minute ride from Alex City. Horseshoe Bend National Military Park is built on land collected from Alabama Power Co. and the state of Alabama that was once slated to be a part of Lake Martin. And as I rode through the park, it was impossible not to think about the human lives that converged there, fighting for reasons that probably only their leaders truly understood, but willing to pay the ultimate price for their respective ways of life. The Americans were at war with the British again (the War of 1812) and the Creeks had split into factions. One of those factions was the Red Sticks, who were resistant to European-American encroachment and were taking advantage of the U.S. federal troops engagement elsewhere. The Red Sticks were fresh off wins at Burnt Corn in present-day Escambia County and Fort Mims – about 35 miles north of present-day Mobile on the eastern bank of the Alabama River – where the Red Sticks killed more than 500 militia, settlers, slaves and Creeks loyal to the Americans, taking 250 scalps in the process. I’m sure the Tennessee militiamen of Jackson and his brother-in-law John Coffee were aware of this, which would have surely been enough to raise their dander. The U.S. forces, in the form of Jackson’s Tennessee militia, got their revenge at Horseshoe Bend, with Jackson’s 3,300 militiamen attacking Chief Menawa’s 1,000 Red Stick warriors. With the Creeks depending on their fortified barricade, the militiamen surrounded them, Jackson’s forces to the north and Coffee’s to the south, just on the other side of the river. The attack began in the morning at about 10:30 a.m. and was later described for posterity. “Just after 10:30 a.m., Jackson launched his attack as Red Stick prophets – reportedly dressed in a ‘fantastic manner’ – danced and prayed. By dusk, most Red Sticks lay dead.” The dead included the Red Stick forces and the innocent women and children of Tohopeka. Today, more than 200 years later, the water that went red with blood that day still roars around the oxbow that is forever known as Horseshoe Bend. The woods that run alongside the river and border the open field which the Red Sticks’ barricade once spread across echo with the spirited Southern accents of the Tennessee militia and the

war hoops of the Red Stick Creeks. It is eerie to stand on the banks of the river, imagining the fierce heat of the battle that was waged there. It’s eerier still to realize that final breaths were likely drawn feet from where I stood. More than anything, it is awe-inspiring to stand on a battlefield where blood was shed to make this country what it is today, to bring about the independence, liberty and freedom that we celebrate on this July 4 weekend. The hero of Horseshoe Bend, Andrew Jackson once said, “No one need think the world can be ruled without blood. The civil sword shall and must be red and bloody.” This weekend more than most, I am thankful for the men and women who have shed that blood.

Independence Day should inspire service

n Independence Day, we urge Americans to take time not only to celebrate, but also to recognize the responsibilities of citizenship. There’s no free ride here. Americans enjoy relaxing on the Fourth of July, firing up the grill, perhaps visiting a lake or pool, and enjoying fireworks tonight. But on this day of relaxation and celebration, remember that freedom doesn’t come cheap. We honor those who serve in the military, both now and in the past. Some of them gave their lives for our freedom, and we must never forget that. But that’s not the only way to serve your country. Everyone needs to do his or her part to make this land a better place to live. That comes through voting, through obeying laws, through volunteering, through letting your elected officials know where you stand on issues that matter most to you. On this Independence Day and every day, don’t just celebrate your right to free speech, but also listen to what others are saying, even if you disagree with them. We have seen discontent in Washington, in our state legislature as to how to fix the budget and even here in Alexander City over procedures that are written in black and white. Today, of all days, we should remember the strength that comes from uniting, rather than dividing. Doing what’s right for everyone instead of a select few. It’s not just about independence, but also about interdependence with other Americans – including people who might not look or think like you. Enjoy your rights, but remember that American citizenship is not a oneway benefit. We pay for the rights and privileges we have as Americans with our active participation in government, as well as with our taxes.

Honoring the outfits of American history O

ne of my favorite Lake Martin traditions is the Fourth of July boat parade, when folks go all-out to dress up in All-American style and do the same for their boats. Hundreds of boats will motor into the Kowaliga Basin this morning to either participate in the parade or watch the parade as it moves from Kowaliga Marina, past Kowaliga restaurant, under the Kowaliga bridge and winds up at the lighthouse at Children’s Harbor. It’s quite a sight for kids of all ages. If you want to stand out in a sea of stars and stripes, you’ve got to be creative. You’ll see huge flags, high-flying flags, scores of tiny hand-size flags, flag banners. There will be plenty of copper-green statues of liberty and white-bearded Uncle Sams this morning. In the past we’ve seen some other distinctive American characters float by, Fred Flintstone comes to mind. Anyway, this week I started wondering about other historically accurate outfits and traditions that could inspire paraders and decided to do a little research, which led me to the White House Historical Association. And I was surprised by what I learned. For instance, if you are into facial hair, you’d be in good company. There was a stretch in the second

half of the 1800’s when every U.S. president wore a beard from, Ulysses S. Grant to Chester A. Arthur. William Howard Taft wore a dapper, if bushy, handlebar mustache. Rutherford B. Hayes, Benjamin Harrison and James A. Garfield wore long beards that would have fit right in with the Duck Dynasty clan. Honest Abe Lincoln was the only president cool enough to try the beardwithout-a-mustache look and Martin Van Buren and John Quincy Adams sported mutton chops that would make Elvis proud. J.Q. Adams sometimes chose to wear nothing at all in our nation’s capitol. In fact, according to the White House Historical Association, “July is hot in Washington and to cool off Adams regularly took early morning skinny dips in the Potomac River.” I wouldn’t suggest that look at this year’s parade. U.S. presidents have worn numerous types of hats, depending on the fashion of the time. JFK wore a top hat to his inauguration that wasn’t much shorter than the famous stove-pipe hat that made Abe Lincoln taller than your average professional

basketball player. Ronald Reagan, LBJ and the Bushes wore cowboy hats, which, along with the baseball cap, is about as American as you can get in headwear. Speaking of dressing up American-style, the U.S. Flag Code – which is admittedly a guideline and not a law – reads “The Flag Code addresses the impropriety of using the flag as an article of personal adornment, a design of items of temporary use and an item of clothing.” In 1976, the bicentennial year, an amendment to the code allowed for wearing a flag patch or pin on the left side of the chest, close to the heart for military personnel, firemen, policemen and members of patriotic groups. So technically, wearing the flag as clothing is not good form. Don’t tell that to Captain America, who will likely make an appearance at this year’s parade. But I think as long as flag clothing is portraying the U.S. symbol in a positive light – and what could be more patriotic than Captain America? – you’ve got nothing to worry about from the flag police. I’ll be out there photographing the parade from the top of the tower on my boat so if you drive by, be sure to wave – or wave the stars and stripes – for the camera.

Thomas Goss

Tea Party Patriots, not liberals, caused rush on guns Dear Editor, Mr. Baird (alias: De Opresso Liber) is correct that every month there are over a million firearm sales since President Obama took office. However, I would take exception to him blaming the “Liberal” agenda. The real culprit is the NRA and people like the Tea Party Patriots, who at every chance chant “Obama is going to take our guns away.” Now, it’s Hilary that is going to take our guns away and the masses flock to the gun stores to purchase more guns and ammo. As of 2013, there was an estimated 310 million guns in the United States. Have guns made us safer? The answer is very clear, ‘NO.’ In 2013, there were 33,636 firearm deaths in the United States. That is more than any other major nation in the world. We kill, per capita, 20 times as many of our citizens by guns than Australia. Japan, who has the fewest number of guns, has the fewest number of deaths. If more guns made you safer, the United States would be less violent and even after each gun massacre we still remain silent. In 2015, the Annual Review of Public Health stated that nearly two thirds of firearm violence was suicide. Those who battle with depression and have a gun nearby are more likely to act on their darkest impulses. Your right to bear arms is

a Constitutional right, however as with all rights, it cannot infringe upon the rights of other citizens. The NRA is the enemy of freedom by seeking to impose its values on everyone else. Those of us who want to live, shop, go to school, and worship in a gun free society also have rights. I could write 10,000 words, however an editorial cartoon in the USA Today put it where hopefully we can understand and appreciate the true issues. The editorial cartoon on gun control pictures a frame that is divided with a father to the left with caption “my son”, in the middle at the top the word TEARS. On the right side there is an alligator with a pistol shaped head labeled NRA with the caption “my gun.” What is more important, our right to bear arms or our children? That is a simple and easy choice. Lets make a change of doing nothing into doing something that works, such as the law that Connecticut adopted in 1995. It requires a permit or license contingent on passing a background check. This law was associated with a 40 percent drop in violent gun deaths. Charles R. Gillenwaters Alexander City

Horoscope

JACQUELINE BIGARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STARS ARIES (March 21-April 19) --Your ability to grow past problems and evolve to a new level emerges. A difÂżcult situation involving a misunderstanding Âżnally will be ironed out. How you view a situation could change as a result. Get into a fun game with a partner. Tonight: Where your friends are. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --You might have so much to do that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel as if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saddled with the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibilities. You could be in a strange position where you feel trapped. No one would be surprised if you were to speak your mind. Figure out your priorities. Tonight: Take the lead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --You might want to move forward and let go of a problem. Whether you take a spin in your car or on your bicycle makes no difference; the change of scenery will be just what the doctor ordered. Take an overview of an issue once you have gained some distance. Tonight: Out late. CANCER (June 21-July 22) --You might want to slow down some. Once you start moving, you lose your ability to relate with ease. Spend some quality time with a special person in your life. As a result, you will feel more connected to each other. Tonight: Loosen up with a friend or loved one. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --You love celebrations, and today you are likely to go to a party rather than be the host of one. You could be surprised by a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unexpected actions. You like what you are seeing, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll encourage others to pursue that same course. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --Get into a fun sport with a friend or two. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to keep all your plans in line with the holiday. Go off and do whatever makes you happy. Someone you meet today might not be exactly who he or she appears to be. Tonight: Be

very happy and enjoy the moment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) --Suddenly the true you emerges, and others will get a glimpse of your more spirited side. Open up to new possibilities. If you are attached, curb any Ă&#x20AC;irting, as it likely will end in hurt feelings. Get into the spirit of the Fourth of July. Tonight: Your upbeat mood is contagious. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) --Decide to host the July Fourth barbecue this year, and invite all your friends over. Enjoy the moment and maximize what is happening around you. Touch base with a loved one, and make sure that this person is invited. Tonight: Enjoy some burgers! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) --Understand what is happening. Dive right in and enjoy yourself. Several conversations could be fun and enlightening. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to call certain family members and friends before the festivities begin. Tonight: Hop from one happening to another. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make a difference where you never thought it would be possible. A loved one responds to you differently from how he or she has in a while. Understand that others have different responses and thought processes. Tonight: Make a gesture toward a friend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) --You might be more in tune with the mood and spirit of the day than many people are. Others will be only too happy to participate in the celebrations, especially if you are there. Lighten up the moment, and get into the activity around you. Tonight: All smiles. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) --Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t push yourself. Just because everyone else is full of energy does not mean you need to be. Open up to the idea of making the following day a lazy one instead. What is stopping you from saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? to an invitation and getting some R and R? Tonight: The party is at your place.. Tonight: Where the crowds are..

NBA basketballs’ journey to Finals begins in Alexander City By Tyler Cook Alabama News Center

Plenty of 3-point shots swished through nets and dunks rattled rims during this year’s NBA Finals, won a few weeks back by the Golden State Warriors. Those electrifying plays – and for that matter, every other play in the series – all have something in common. The basketballs used in the finals and all NBA games were inspected, tested in and distributed from right here in Alexander City. Spalding is one of the major sponsors of the National Basketball Association and the Women’s National Basketball Association. The company supplies the NBA and WNBA with their basketballs. Every practice and game ball the NBA and the WNBA use makes a stop in Alexander City. Spalding is owned by Russell Brands, based in Bowling Green, Ky. Russell Corp., founded by Benjamin Russell in Alexander City, became Russell Brands. The basketballs start their journey to Alabama from overseas where they are

at which the ball bounces from a certain dropping point, Hu said. This is the start of the “breaking in” process. Players do the majority of the breaking in while playing, but the testing gets the ball rolling. Breaking in a basketball basically means expanding the leather it’s made of and making the ball softer to handle. Dribbling is an important part of the game, so the softer the ball, along with grip, the better the play. “The balls you see on TV have been played with for about two to three months prior to being used in the games,” Hu says.

This is where they are tested and inspected to ensure they are playable. “The inspection procedure takes about one to two weeks before we distribute,” said Jerry Hu, senior director of product development for Spalding. Product development and marketing teams from Washington, D.C., and from Bowling Green, Kentucky travel to and from Alexander City to help with inspections, he said.

Durability testing and mechanically bouncing the balls on a hardwood surface an average of 50 bounces per ball take place toward the end of the testing process at Alexander City. A good measure of durability is an average of 20,000 bounces, Hu said. The balls are also detailed at the factory, labeling “Spalding” in bold on the leather. Along with the company logo, labels like the NBA logo, dimensions of the ball and NBA team names are lased onto the ball. For basketballs the professionals use, the signature of the commissioner of the NBA, Adam Silver, is written onto the ball. After passing Spalding’s “Perfect Basketball” inspection, the balls are sent to NBA teams for practice in the late summer. Each team receives 72 balls per order with the team name on the ball, said Hu. Players will use this time to get the balls to reach a playable point before reaching the spotlight, where the balls will be dribbled and shot and rebounded in NBA games.
