City voters can vote on Sunday sales Aug. 23 Dadeville, Alex City, New Site voters will make decision during municipal elections By MITCH SNEED Editor

Cliff Williams / The Record

Ivy Creek Healthcare officially cut the ribbon on a new family medicine practice, Still Waters Family Medicine, Friday. The new facility is at the main entrance to Still Waters. Below, Laura Ryals Daniel shows CEO Mike Bruce an exam room at the center.

While there has been plenty of talk about city elections and who will or won’t be in the races for mayor and council seats, there will be much more decided on Aug. 23 than who will lead area municipalities. In Dadeville, Alexander City and New Site voters will be able to vote on whether they wish to allow the sale of alcohol on Sunday when they go to the polls. City clerks in all three municipalities confirmed that Sunday alcohol sales will be on the ballot during the municipal election. “A vote of the people would be the ultimate public hearing on the matter,” said Dadeville City Council member Mickey Tarpley at the time that the council passed the resolution allowing a vote.

Family escapes injury after boat goes up in flames

Ivy Creek Healthcare expands to Still Waters

By MITCH SNEED Editor

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

A family of five and their pet Brittany Spaniel miraculously escaped injury Sunday when their boat caught fire and burned on Lake Martin. At about 2 p.m., the boat was in an area not far from Bay Pines across from Young Island when a fire broke out in the area of the engine. Two adults, two teens, a toddler and the dog were all on the 2006 Correct Craft, which was a complete loss. “We are all OK,” said Nicki Bryant, who stood at Wind Creek Marina with her family after being brought back to safety by Marine Police. “Thank heaven for so many good people

Friday Ivy Creek Healthcare cut the ribbon on Still Waters Family Medicine that is located in the Still Waters Welcome Center just outside the gates on Highway 49. “It will be for primary care,” Ivy Creek CEO Mike Bruce said. “It is an expansion on what the ambulance service here was already doing. We can do anything a doctor’s office can do.” Dadeville native Laura Ryals

Bunn continues to make progress after lung transplant By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Less than two weeks after a double lung transplant, Tallapoosa County’s Ashley Bunn is in a step-down unit at Duke University Medical Center and is posting her own updates. “Monday was the first update she posted to Facebook herself,” said Ashley Benton who has been working with family and others to help coordinate fundraising efforts. “I talked to her last

night on the phone and she sounded a little stronger. She is breathing 100 percent on her on. Every test they have done has been great.” Bunn is making great progress on the road to recovery. “She is now in a step-down unit,” Benton said. “She continues to do her therapy and has graduated to a new walker. She is averaging six to eight laps a day around the unit and that is good.

The Alexander City resolution makes much the same assertion, that it is an issue that the people should decide. “(The city council) wishes to give the citizens of Alexander City, Alabama, the right to vote on the ability to provide additional revenue to these businesses and capture sales tax revenue on alcohol that is being spent outside of the city on Sundays … “The Mayor and the City Council believe that the citizens of Alexander City, Alabama, have the fundamental right to vote on whether to allow sales seven days a week subject to the time limitations stated herein.” The Tallapoosa County Commissioners were the first to pass a referendum and in all unincorporated areas, the registered voters can have their say on Sunday sales during the November general election. When the New Site Town Council passed its resolution calling for a vote on Sunday sales, Mayor Curtis Mims said that letting the people decided was

the right move. “It doesn’t mean that we are for it or against it,” New Site Mayor Curtis Mims said. “We all have our own personal opinions. All this does is say that we believe it is important enough to let the people vote on it and have their say. I personally think that is the right way to decide an issue as important as this.” One factor in having such a widespread movement to vote on Sunday sales is local legislation that was passed at the 11th hour of this year’s legislative session. The bill sponsored by Alexander City’s Rep. Mark Tuggle allows municipalities in Tallapoosa County – as well as the county itself – to hold referendums on the Sunday sales of alcohol. In the past, each municipality had to have a bill clear the legislature. The move made it much easier for councils to put the move to a vote. Camp Hill is currently the only Tallapoosa municipality that allows Sunday sales.

water was sprayed on the white ski boat. “When we got there we started to tow the boat so that it could not drift and get to a residence and cause damage,” said Jackson Dozier of Tow BoatU.S. “We then used the fire hose to extinguish the blaze. We then towed what was left to a boat ramp and put it on one of our trailers to put in storage.” The family was loaded on one Marine Police boat, while the other

on the lake.” All five members of the Sylacauga family and the dog went overboard quickly and were picked up by a nearby boat. Two marine police boats, a Tow BoatU.S. boat and countless other private boats came to help the family as black smoke could be seen billowing high into the air from more than two miles away. The passengers and dog were able to get safely off the boat, while

escorted the towboat as it pulled what remained of the charred shell of the boat away from the area. “It’s something you never dream of happening to you,” Bryant said. “It’s still kind of hard to believe, but we are all here and no one was hurt. That’s the main thing.” It is still too early to determine a cause of the fire, but it started in the rear area of the boat and the upholstery was the first thing to go up in

flames. Alabama State Troopers continue to investigate the fire.

It is time for Sunday Sales

allapoosa County commissioners and the city councils in Alexander City, Dadeville and New Site have all agreed to put Sunday alcohol sales on the ballot. Since Camp Hill already allows Sunday alcohol sales, if the new proposals pass, it would mean that alcohol could be sold on Sundays throughout the county. We think this is a very good idea. And the reason is simple: Our community is becoming a tourist destination with Lake Martin at its heart. That means we are competing with other tourist destinations, like the Gulf Coast, where Sunday alcohol sales is allowed. Why is this a big deal? Because most restaurants make a large portion of their profit selling alcoholic beverages. The mark-up on beer can exceed 500 percent. In other words, a restaurant will buy a serving of beer for 65 cents and sell it for $4. By the way, similar profits are made in tea, soft drinks and coffee. Forbidding restaurants from selling their highest-profit items during half the weekend in a tourist area, when most of their potential customers are here, is a dealbreaker for many national restaurant chains. They simply will not consider opening here. So allowing alcohol to be sold all weekend – when most people are visiting our area – is not only good business because it brings in additional tax revenue and sales, it is also a major recruiting tool for bringing new restaurants and hospitality businesses to the Lake Martin area. And that will in turn bring more tourists and more jobs here. Outdated blue laws do not prevent people from drinking on Sunday – anybody who has been to Chimney Rock on Sunday knows that is an absolute fact. Instead, the blue laws are harming our local economy and decreasing our potential as a tourist destination. It is time to change and encourage new growth in our market. The dates for when you can vote on the matter vary depending on where you live. So check and make sure when the Sunday sales vote will be held in the area that you call home and make your voice heard.

Lessons learned in the garden

’ve often said that one can tell how old a woman is by the number of Cool-Whip bowls she has in her kitchen cabinets and how old a man is by the number of 5-gallon buckets he has in and around his house. Well, I have a whole bunch of both and am well beyond my age in bucket years. I’m using the bulk of the buckets for my garden. Bucketwise, I have tomatoes, peppers, and okra, oh my! In fact, I have 17 buckets of peppers, nine buckets of tomatoes, and four buckets of “okry,” as many of us say around here. I have plants of each in raised beds, too. I’m going to have enough for my own farmers’ market when all is said and done. I also have cucumbers and squash, but they have required some extra TLC. Initially, I planted too many cucumbers in the same bed. I replanted one on the opposite side of the yard and within no time, it was growing like a vine. Only one of the plants from the original bed was producing, so just this week, I moved the other two into the bed on the opposite side of the yard. We shall see how that goes. I had room there, because I pulled up my beets and carrots, both of which will not make the cut next year. Some people like beets; I

JODY FULLER Columnist

get that. Some people like Alabama football, too. I don’t. No matter how you try to fancy them up, in the end, beets taste like dirt. My carrots were tiny and I don’t really care for carrots as a main vegetable anyway. Squash vine borers decimated my summer squash. They were doing so well and producing beautiful fruit until one day, they all began to wilt. Eggs from the pest hatch and the larvae bore into the center of the stems to feed, blocking the flow of water to the rest of the plant. I was upset, because I love squash, but a lesson was learned. Originally, I grew everything from seeds, but since I lost the squash, I had no choice but to buy small replacement plants. If my watermelons continue to grow, I’m going to have to throw them into the back of a pickup and go park on a county road somewhere. I’m real proud of them. I actually only have three of any size at all, but I’m hoping for the best. Rabbits and chipmunks haven’t been able to eat the bucket crops but they

have done some damage to my beds. I don’t think there’s much I can do about the chipmunks and their holey ways, but I did put chicken wire up around one of the beds. I don’t think the Little Rascals could’ve done a finer job. It turned out to be more trouble than it was worth, so I decided to put the chicken wire along the holes and gaps in my privacy fence. It might not keep them out forever, but it’ll at least slow them down—unless I trapped some of them within the friendly confines of my backyard. I saw a gigantic rabbit the next day that looked as if it had taken a wrong turn in Albuquerque. Fortunately, it was on the other side of the fence, but I’m fairly certain it had spent some time feasting in my back yard. I planted way too much of everything. As a first time gardener, I have learned a lot. Trials and errors have been plentiful, which I fully expected. With the lessons learned this year, next year should yield much better results, in the garden and in life. Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq.

Our

Holiday showcases how our area is blessed

he holiday weekend in the Lake Martin community was another prime example of why we are blessed to live where we do. Great events put on by volunteers, fun at Lake Martin and instances where the good in people was on display made the 2016 Independence Day weekend a memorable one. In Hackneyville Saturday night a crowd that was estimated to be more than 3,000 strong filled the grounds of the community center to listen to great music, socialize, have fun and see an incredible fireworks show. The event is one of the largest fundraisers for the Hackneyville Volunteer Fire Department and this year’s event was incredible. Even through the sweltering heat, there was a festive mood throughout the six-hour celebration of America’s Freedom. From kids making big splashes on an aquatic slide, to adults clapping their hands and dancing to the music, there were plenty of Kodak moments. There is nothing that says July 4th in Alabama better than Rexton Lee on stage playing Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird” as the fireworks start to explode overhead. The same mood was present Sunday night at Benjamin Russell High School as Marshall Street

MITCH SNEED Editor

Church of God and the city welcomed another capacity crowd for Alexander City Celebrates Freedom. The music of Church and Main and Josh Wilson was a great precursor to another spectacular fireworks display. It was a near flawless night of family fun and cooperation where community spirit and national pride were on display. Young boys divided up into teams to play touch football, with one group wearing blue shirts claiming to be Auburn with the team’s leader claiming to be Cam Newton, while the shirtless team said they were Alabama, with A.J. McCarron at the helm. They learn young here. “This is just incredible,” said Pastor Rick Levell of Marshall Street Church of God. “I can’t thank everyone enough. From the volunteers, the media, the sponsors and to the people for coming out and enjoying this with us – we couldn’t ask for more.” The Russell Lands Boat Parade on Monday again drew a wealth of boats that went all out with their creative displays of aquatic

patriotism. The weekend was again capped by one of the South’s most elaborate fireworks shows at the Lake Martin Amphitheater where thousands were treated to Lake Martin acting as a massive reflection pool for the pyrotechnic artistry above. Even in a situation that could have turned tragic, there was something good to be found. The Bryant family was enjoying a day on the lake Sunday when fire broke out on their 2006 Correct Craft. The family did the right thing, with all five and the family dog jumping overboard quickly. In the blink of an eye, other boats came to the family’s rescue as ALEA Marine Troopers and Tow BoatU.S. all seemed to appear out of thin air to handle the situation and make sure everyone was safe. Nicki Bryant may have said it best just moments after the ordeal was over as she and her family were back to safety at the Wind Creek Marina. “We are all OK,” said Bryant. “Thank heaven for so many good people on the lake.” And thank heaven that we live in such a great place with such incredible people.

Welcome! Red Ridge United Methodist Church is located at 8091 County Road 34, Dadeville, AL, 256-8259820, redridgeumc.org First Presbyterian Church News: This past Sunday was the 7th Sunday after Pentecost, and it was a most enjoyable service. Because July 4 was the following day, our choir began by singing “This is My Country” --- a most beautiful patriotic anthem. Then we sang “America the Beautiful.” Then our Choir Director Dale Brasell led the anthem with a solo, introducing “God Bless America,” followed by the choir joining in, and then the congregation joined! Really touched my heart and made me proud to be an American. (Pianist Dawn played beautifully as always) Did you know that, among

the signers of the Declaration of Independence, 14 of them were Presbyterians? That’s new info from Rev. Ben Arellano which most of us (me) didn’t know. Rev. Arellano’s sermon was titled “Jesus Calls, Jesus Sends” with scriptures from Psalm 66, Galatians 6 and Luke 10. Our gospel lesson points to the Grace of God. Rejoice that your names are written in heaven! Did you know if you belong to Christ, you are Abraham’s descendants? The Old Testament is about the promised people who are led away from God. When we are called, will we follow? The Letter to the Galatians tells us that we must love God and glorify Him. Another excellent sermon, Rev. Arellano. Come visit us! First United Methodist Church News: Lots of important activities going on this summer: Thursday, July 7: Raise Up Servant Team Meeting at 6 p.m. Monday, July 11 – 15: Youth at Blue Lake Camp “Oakwood Experience Basic Training” Tuesday, July 19: Finance Team Meeting at 5 p.m..

Robbery tip leads to drug arrests

What started out as a call by a concerned citizen fearing that an armed robbery was taking place at a local convenience store led authorities to two arrests and the seizure of drugs and cash. On Monday, the Alexander City Police Department responded to a store on Highway 280, but instead of an armed robbery, two men were suspected of shoplifting. The Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force was called and in executing a search warrant, a stolen weapon and a substantial amount of marijuana were found inside the vehicle the two men were using. A telephonic search warrant showed evidence of possible illegal activity at a residence and a warrant was obtained for that Alexander City home. At the residence, investigators located and seized approximately 120 grams of high-grade marijuana, 11 grams of

cocaine, 20 ecstasy pills, 21 Xanax bars and $6,400 in cash. Arrested were: •Kilpatrick Cornelius McKinney, 33, of Alexander City on charges of possession with the intent to distribute, two counts of possession of a controlled substance, two counts of first-degree possession of marijuana, certain persons forbidden to possess a firearm, seconddegree receiving stolen property and possession of drug paraphernalia. • Jeffery Lamar Smith, 36, of Alexander City on charges of first-degree possession of marijuana, certain persons forbidden to possess a firearm, second-degree receiving stolen property and possession of drug paraphernalia. The investigation of the illegal trafficking, distribution and possession of narcotics is ongoing in Tallapoosa County.

Cliff Williams / The Outlook

A suspect is arrested by the Alexander City Police Department Monday at Jet Pep in Alexander City after being suspected of shoplifting.

Future of Tallassee mill questioned in open meeting By CARMEN RODGERS TPI Staff

Members from the Alabama Historical Commission held an open meeting Wednesday afternoon to discuss potential options for preserving the 1844 Tallassee Mill complex, which is located on the West banks of the Tallapoosa River. This would include the original two-story structure built in 1844 and the T-shaped four-story (later heightened to five stories) structure built in 1852-54. In 1863, after the construction of Mill two and Mill three on the East banks of the Tallapoosa, the original mill became an Armory for the production of the Tallassee carbine. This is one of the few armories that were spared from the devastation of war. Not only is Confederate history of the mill complex unique, the mill was among the largest cotton textile manufacturing complexes in the South. It was the second mill in Alabama to be established for the production of cotton cloth. The stones used to build the hill have historical significance. The famous explorer Benjamin Hawkins made note of the stone bricks used for the construction of the Tallassee Mills. George Washington appointed Hawkins as General Superintendent of Indian Affairs, dealing with all tribes south of the Ohio River. It was during this time that Hawkins explored the Tallassee area and reported back to Washington, “The rock is a light gray, very much divided into square blocks of various sizes for building. It requires very little labor to reduce it to form for plain walls. Large masses of it are so nicely fitted and regular as to imitate the wall of an ancient building where the stone has passed through the hand of a mason. The quantity of this description at the falls, and in the hills adjoining them, is great-- - sufficient for the building of a great city.” In 2010 the Tallassee Historical Society took the necessary steps to have the 1844 mill complex added to National Register of Historic Places.

Carmen Rodgers / The Record

The Tallassee Historical Society would like to see the 1844 mill complex cleaned up and transformed into a waterfront amphitheater. Plans for possible uses were discussed in an open meeting Wednesday afternoon.

However, the group thought they had been unsuccessful, but that wasn’t the case. “It was added to the registry in 2010, but we never received the paper work,” said Ann Christian, with the Tallassee Historical Society. Christian said she and the Historical Society would like the complex cleaned up and used as a green space or an amphitheater. One idea is to create a space similar to what the Roxy Theater once was in the downtown area. In this case, steel beams would be used to secure the walls and the building would remain roofless. There is no doubt the mill is exploding with historical value, which is worth preserving for future generations. However, the problem lies in finding the funding needed to preserve the complex. As one member of the audience stated, it would take $5,000 to $6,000

from every man, woman and child in the city of Tallassee to fund the preservation project. This is where the Alabama Historical Commission comes in. The group is proposing the use of federal tax credits to ease the burden of funding the potential preservation project. There would be a few guidelines that would have to be followed. For instance, the historical fabric and character would need to be preserved and after preservation the mill complex would have to produce income. While the audience was mostly split on the decision to preserve or demolish the mill complex, most were apprehensive of accepting the conditional monies. No concrete decision has been made and the building remains “condemned” in the eyes of city officials for safety hazards. Therefore, some type action will need to be taken in the very near future.

LUKE ROBINSON

BLUE TEAM BEATS GREEN

Columnist

And now for my SEC West predictions (Writer’s note: If it’s all good with you guys, I am just going to use the very same beginning to this article as I did for last week. It kinda let’s you know they are related...Even if it’s not good with you, I am doing it anyway).

t’s that nutty time of year when basketball is over, the Olympics haven’t started and baseball is still meaningless. We are all just sitting patiently waiting for football; and nothing says, “football is getting moderately close; but not super-close” like my annual “SEC Predictions” series of articles. This week, I present with the SEC West… 1. Alabama: I will admit it: I went with the safe pick here instead of my gut feeling that LSU will get it together enough to make to Atlanta. The Tide lost a lot of ammunition, but the team is still loaded with fivestar talent. A decade of dominance tells us that no matter what players move on to the NFL, Saban’s squads find a way to stake their claim for another SEC title. The quarterback is a mystery, but even if Sherlock Holmes winds up taking snaps all he will have to do is hand off and not throw pick sixes for the Tide to be successful. 2. LSU: Just like my instinct says LSU will win the West, it also tells me if the Tigers DON’T win the division they may finish in the bottom half of it. Therefore, I am going against myself in both directions and slotting LSU second. Their two toughest SEC road games are very winnable and they get ‘Bama at home on top of that. If I am right and LSU winds up finishing runner up with only a loss to ‘Bama on their resume`, wouldn’t it be something if the Tide and Tigers found their way into the four-team playoff? 3. Auburn: Maybe you think I have been attending a weeeee too many Widespread Panic concerts, but I think Auburn will be the surprise third place finisher in the West this year. Third isn’t a typical Auburn goal, but most AU fans would gladly take this result right now versus where they finished last season. While many forecast doom and gloom, I have Auburn finishing 8-4. 4. Ole Miss: The Rebels return their quarterback and several key targets for him, but there is a dark cloud hovering over the program now. I never discount the way outside forces affect teams; particularly those who are not accustomed to sustained success. We will know a lot about Ole Miss early, though, as two of their first three games are against Florida State and Alabama. 5. Arkansas: I keep picking Arkansas to be close to the bottom of the division, but I also keep thinking Bret Bielema is close to turning this program around. While I think they have a strong coaching staff, the issue is they just don’t have the horses throughout the depth chart to be a true threat at the title. 6. Texas A&M: Ummmmm … Sure… Why not put them here. For all of the talk about how Auburn’s program seems unstable, A&M is in the same boat. At least AU has had some national glory; the Aggies are much more likely to be embarrassed on that stage than they are to step up under Coach Kevin Sumlin. I think this may be his last year. 7. Miss State: It feels wrong to have the Bulldogs last, but where else can I put them? I like their coach and their talent isn’t terrible, but without Dak Prescott at QB this year who really scares opponents? If MSU were in the East, I may have picked them third. Geography is not Starkville’s friend in this case. Next week, I will give a few national predictions... If I remember to.

State to make game check mandatory Public meetings planned to educate hunters on the program STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

After three years of insufficient reporting into the voluntary Game Check program, Alabama’s Conservation Advisory Board has recommended mandatory reporting of deer and turkey harvests via the Game Check system starting with the 2016-17 hunting season. To educate hunters in Alabama about the Game Check harvesting system, the Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries is holding seminars about the program throughout the state this summer. Locally, a seminar is scheduled for Aug. 18 from 6-9 p.m. at Central Alabama Community College’s Betty Carol Graham Center. WFF Director Chuck Sykes will host the seminars, which include an overview of the program followed by a question and answer session. All hunters are encouraged to attend one of these in advance of hunting season. Topics to be covered: • How to check your game. • Why the data is important. • What it means to you, the hunter. • Changes to the upcoming hunting season. Alabama had been one of only three states without a mandatory data collection system. The complete Game Check seminar schedule of dates and locations is at www.outdooralaFile / The Outlook bama.com/game-check-seminarseries or call WFF at 334-242- Insufficient reporting has now made the checking of deer harvesting a required practice. Education semi3465. nars on the process begin Aug. 18 at Central Alabama Community College.
