Staff Report The summer is a time when schools regroup and work to build a team that will await students as they arrive on the first day of the school year. In Alexander City, several of those moves have been made and Superintendent Dr. Darrell Cooper said that he feels pretty good about where they are headed into the school year. One of the biggest changes parents and students will notice this fall is a new face in charge at Alexander City Middle School. Reginald Clifton has been approved as the new ACMS principal for the 2015-2016 school year. He is a veteran educator and administrator in the Alexander City School System serving most recently at Radney Elementary School as assistant principal. He takes over from outgoing principal, Dr. Beverly Price, as she assumes her new role as Secondary Education Coordinator at the Alexander City Board of Education. Clifton has been teacher of the year at Benjamin Russell High School. Clifton held a meet and greet with the faculty last week and is busy prepping for his new role.

Law enforcement officials are quick to say that solving a crime takes equal parts of hard work, knowledge and luck. The Alexander City Police Department got healthy does of all three over the last few days as they located a stolen 18-wheeler that was loaded with lumber. On the evening of Thursday July 2, the driver of a tractortrailer parked his rig, which was loaded with lumber, in the lot next to the Exxon Station at the intersection of U.S. Highway 280 and Highway 63. When he went back to check on his truck and load, it was gone, according to Alexander City Police Department Capt. Tommy Lovett. “It was unclear exactly when it was taken, but as soon as he found it was missing, he alerted us and his company’s investigators.” Lovett said. “We assigned the case to Det. Sabrina Osborne and she immediately began working with the company’s investigator to see what they could turn up.” Lovett said that the truck was equipped with a GPS tracking device, but the thief realized it, and threw the device out of the See TRUCK, Page A7
Camp Hill struggles with sewage and Internal Revenue issues By Cliff Williams Outlook Staff Writer
The Camp Hill Town Council is trying to get a handle on two big issues that continue to haunt them – the IRS and sewage. “They (IRS) came in and looked at our information,” Mayor Danny Evans said. “This started in 2005 and things got back on track in 2008. We have to pay them $5,673.95 a month to clear this up – a total of $154,000.” Evans explained that the IRS had put a freeze on the town’s accounts for back taxes and the problems it created. “The IRS put the hurt on us when they froze the accounts,” Evans said. “We had checks out that bounced.”
Evans did say that the accounts were no longer frozen. Council members asked if anything had been paid to the IRS to go towards that past balance. “Some of the money is there,” Evans said. “But (the IRS) have no forms for it.” Council member Anthony Pogue seemed optimistic that money could still be credited to the town for income taxes withheld from employees at the time. “You can fill out a Form 941C to help,” Pogue said. Evans said that might be difficult in that the town’s records are a mess. “We don’t know who the employees were at the time,” Evans said. “We have looked high and low in the town hall

DEAR ABBY: I moved away from my hometown 18 years ago. At the time, a friend of mine had found out she was HIV-positive. Thankfully, healthwise she’s doing well. To look at her you would never know. We have reconnected, but I have recently learned that she had several relationships in the past and didn’t reveal that she was HIV-positive or use protection. She says she “loves” these men, their families and their children. It makes me sick that she’s killing them. Someone called her doctor and he talked to her about it, but she lied and said that she had told them. These men have no idea! What can be done so she quits spreading this disease? -- SHE’S KILLING THEM IN INDIANA DEAR S.K.T.: I ran your letter by an old and trusted friend, Dr. Mervyn Silverman, former director of health in San Francisco. He asked me to reassure you that if your friend has been under treatment for HIV, her chances of passing it on are far less than they were
DEAR ABBY Advice
years ago. He also mentioned that if these men’s wives had contracted HIV from their husbands and become pregnant, that their disease would very likely have been discovered. You need to talk to your friend and explain that this is both a health issue and one of morality. If she’s continuing to have unprotected sex with her partners, there is still some potential risk that she could pass along the virus. So if she truly loves anyone but herself, she will get with the program and be honest about her health status. DEAR ABBY: I’m a single mother of two wonderful daughters. I have a fantastic boyfriend, “Roy,” who I met when I was pregnant with my
second. We have been together for six months and I love him very much. Unfortunately, he has become mildly controlling and critical. Roy has no children of his own, and he doesn’t seem to realize what goes into working, raising children and running a household. Recently, he gave me a promise ring, which I accepted. He’s great with the girls and he makes me happy. My father, however, says that the controlling behavior will only get worse down the road. I think it’s because Roy was laid off from work and is having a hard time finding a job. I’m sure once he’s working he’ll be less focused on me. Who’s right, me or my father? -- MOM OF TWO IN RHODE ISLAND DEAR MOM OF TWO: When a couple has been together for only six months, they are usually still in what is referred to as the “honeymoon phase.” Has Roy been jobless since you met him? If the layoff is recent, then his change in behavior may be related to his frustration at
not being able to find another job. However, your father not only has a point, he also has more experience than you do. Pay attention to what he’s telling you. If Roy becomes increasingly controlling and critical, you’ll know your father was right, and you should return that promise ring. So take your time and please don’t rush! DEAR ABBY: I have been a divorcee for 12 years. I haven’t dated in more than a decade. I know a man who was widowed a couple of months ago. His wife died in her sleep. I have always been interested in him. When would it be appropriate to approach him? -- INTERESTED IN CHICAGO DEAR INTERESTED: If I were you, I’d get in line NOW. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

Governor, legislature seek a permanent budget fix
A
s the legislative session was winding down, it was obvious no solution was going to be found for the beleaguered General Fund Budget. The Governor’s $541 million tax increase proposal had been ignored. Although he still kept preaching that this was the prescription for the ailing General Fund, the good doctor’s prognosis and recommended course of treatment was completely disregarded. Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh offered a solution in the form of a lottery. It did not get the proper traction, although it only calls for the legislature to vote to let the people vote. Polling shows it would pass, so the dismissal by the Senate is hard to understand. Finally, the House leadership came forward with a hybrid proposal to raise the cigarette tax and a few fees. It never got far. With three different trains running down the same track it was a perfect storm for a train wreck and that is what occurred. However, late in the session the perennial cry to combine the two budgets was thrown against the wall again without much success. Alabama has two budgets – the General Fund and Education Trust Fund budgets – and neither is well-funded. The reason we have two budgets is that during the Depression Era, Alabama schools were so underfunded that the prisons had better conditions. Third world countries had better school systems. Most rural schools were dilapidated one-room schools with no indoor plumbing.
STEVE FLOWERS Guest Columnist
Teachers were not even getting paid. They were being given script or promissory notes that they might get paid one day. A progressive governor, Bibb Graves, came along and created a Special Education Trust Fund budget to see that schools had basic minimum standards and funding. At that time, the only colleges in the state were the University of Alabama and Auburn University. His education plan created teachers colleges at Florence, Jacksonville, Troy and Livingston. Graves convinced the legislature to earmark state sales and income tax for education. Education funding has been able to keep pace with inflation with these growth taxes. Combining these two budgets has been proposed numerous times over the years – each time with no success. Bentley floated this consolidation balloon a year ago. It was met with deafening silence pretty much the same way that his tax proposal has been greeted. Most legislators and their constituents know that public education is not funded properly. To allow the legislature to run roughshod into the education coffers would be devastating to the state. The wall created constitutionally prohibits the legislature or governor from raiding education dollars to pay for the money eat-
ing Medicaid monster. Even more importantly, it keeps the state from putting prisoners ahead of schoolchildren. Furthermore, if this legislature or future legislatures fail to fund prisons to a minimum standard, as set forth by the federal courts, it is not only possible but probable that a federal judge could mandate prison appropriations from the state budget that would deprive schools of basic funding in favor of prisoners’ comfort. The Special Education Trust Fund budget was created for reason. A farsighted governor and even more farsighted legislature believed that education was an important and basic function of state government and that it was important for the future of the state. During the Paul Hubbert era, teacher salaries in Alabama moved into the top 25 in the nation. In the past five years, with the Republican takeover of the legislature and demise of the AEA, teacher salaries have dropped into the bottom 10 states in America. Our educational spending in Alabama is 48th in the nation. Our universities used to receive half of their funding from the state. It is now less than 20 percent. Our woefully funded education system could ill afford a raid of its tax dollars. The governor and legislature need to work together to find a permanent solution to funding the General Fund. Stealing the money earmarked for school children’s basic learning is not a solution to the General Fund’s dilem-
ma. Nobody is going to look back 60 years from now and praise this current group for robbing from the Special Education Trust Fund to pay for prison reform. See you next week.

n July, with American flags flying, we celebrate our nation’s birthday and the freedoms and protections we hold dear. Although love for your country can take many forms, Social Security takes preventing and combatting fraud as seriously as we take our other vital missions. Social Security has a zero-tolerance policy for fraud. In tandem with local law enforcement, we pursue criminals who cheat the system by collecting benefits that they’re not owed. This might be as subtle as someone intentionally failing to report income and resources or that they live with their spouse which can result in incorrect payments. Fraud might take the form of someone claiming to be disabled when, in reality, they continue to work. These examples are why we also rely on you — the American public — to report fraud when you see it. While we can’t prevent every instance of fraud any more than the most effective law enforcement agency can prevent all crime, we aggressively investigate and pursue prosecution of those who try to cheat and steal from the system. Our message to those who would defraud Social Security is clear: We will find you; we will prosecute
KYLLE’ D. MCKINNEY Guest Columnist
you; we will seek the maximum punishment allowable under the law; and we will fight to restore the money you’ve stolen from the American people. We impose stiff penalties to discourage people from committing fraud. We monitor cases closely, and we have sophisticated tools to help us predict where and when fraud may occur so we can catch it early — often before it happens. Social Security employs innovative weapons in the fight against fraud. Our Office of Anti-Fraud Programs (OAFP) is the newest member of Social Security’s antifraud team. Established in November 2014, the mission of OAFP is to coordinate all the agency’s efforts to efficiently and effectively detect, deter, and mitigate fraud, waste, and abuse of our programs. OAFP works closely with our Office of the Inspector General to ensure that there are consequences for those who commit fraud — even if the act isn’t prosecuted. Social Security takes fraud seriously, and so
should you. In the same way that you might keep a keen eye out for suspicious activity that might harm our nation, we encourage you to keep an eye out for potential Social Security fraud. Some of our most vulnerable citizens — the elderly, disabled children and war veterans, as well as the chronically ill — are counting
on you. If you suspect someone is committing Social Security fraud, report it online at http:// oig.ssa.gov/report or call the Social Security Fraud Hotline at 1-800269-0271. Kylle’ D. McKinney is a public affairs specialist with Alabama Social Security.

We had a great time together. Revival was a great success and enjoyment at Rocky Creek Baptist Church last week. Bro.

he Alexander City Parks and Recreation 50+ held a Brunch Bingo event last Monday, June 29 at the Senior Activity Center. Yummy scones, fruit and tiny ham biscuits were served along with coffee and juice. Granny Irene made her way from Wadley to come be with us and call Bingo. Let’s just say that she is a character indeed! While the ACPR 50+ program sponsored the majority of prizes, we had Brantley Newton and his staff from Chapman’s donated our awesome coverall Bingo prizes. We wanted to thank them for wanting to be a part of our events and appreciate them for spending time with our members. Despite the wet weather we had last week, we were able to have all of our aquatic exercise classes. Theme for that week was “Wet Bingo!” Many had asked the question of what exactly is “Wet Bingo!” and after attending the morning class throughout the week, they now know! It is simply a fun twist on keeping exercise fun. This week’s morning class theme will be “Strength Week.” This coming Thursday, July 9 we

million to get everything fixed.” Both Evans and new council member Will York agreed on what the USDA would like for the town to do instead of fixing the lagoon. “The USDA said our best scenario would be to make an agreement with Dadeville,” Evans said. “Then we would
Bishop father and brother had a history of taking titles as well. “I worked out with my brother and Dad at the gym and they were doing it,” Bishop said. “They kept telling me I should try it. So, I went to a tournament with them and the first one I entered I won my division in the rightand left-hand tournaments.” Since then, he has never looked back. His sport has taken him to California and Las Vegas, including a successful trip to Las Vegas last week. While he can’t talk about the results until the World Armwrestling League Regionals air on ESPN on July 29, he said he hopes that he can continue to enjoy success. “I mean before I started this I had only been on two trips in my life, one to Washington and one to Texas,” Bishop said. “This sport has taken me to California, Las Vegas, Chicago and introduced me to great people. I’ve made friends with so many people and that wouldn’t have happened without arm-wrestling.” He laughs when asked about his competition personality. He often walks into the arena wearing a houndstooth hat that would have made Bear Bryant proud, wide-eyed and talking smack. He said that’s just for show, but said the hat has a funny history. “I love my state and I’m an Alabama fan.” Bishop said. “My wife Haley had bought me the hat because football season was coming up and I had it on at a tournament. My Dad bet me $20 that I wouldn’t wear when I wrestled, so I did it. Someone jokes and called me the ‘Bama Bull’ and that was it. It just stuck ever since. ” Since Justin began armwrestling four years ago, he said he has learned a lot. He said that most people think of what he does as fun or a hobby, but said a trip to a tournament is a business trip,
The Outlook pump our sewage there for treatment.” The USDA told the town in there meeting that they needed an audit to go forward. “We will not get anything done with the USDA for a grant or loan until we get an audit,” Evans said. “We are working on getting an audit but we have to get a version of Quick Books installed first so that the town clerks can enter information from 2013-
continued from page 1 with the only relaxation coming after the matches are done. “People see you go out there and compete and they think that’s all there is to it,” Bishop said. They don’t see the time that you put in, working out in the gym. They don’t know that you walk around at 185 or 190 and have to diet to cut water weight to make weight. If they only knew, they would look at it a lot differently.” He’s serious about his sport, but he seems to keep it in perspective with the other important things in life. Bishop said that his daughters are starting to understand what he does. Sadie is almost 2 and Sophie is 4 and has actually gone to some of the tournaments that are closer to home. His wife Haley is his biggest fan and is often in the arena when he takes on the world’s best from coast-tocoast. He said her support and understanding is a blessing that he can hardly put into words. “I am a lucky man on that end,” Bishop. “I’ve been in relationships in the past with people who didn’t understand and I see it with others who do this. It means so much for her to understand that this is a dream and to be there for me. That is one less worry that I have and allows me to focus on what’s right in front of me. She’s a special lady and that really makes a difference. I’m really a lucky man. I’m getting to do something I really love and there aren’t a lot of people who get to do that.”
2014.” York brought to the council’s attention services provided by the Auburn University Center for Governmental Studies. “Auburn University has service run by Dr. (DonTerry) Veal,” York said. “They will come over and do a consultation for free to see what we need – not only for this audit for the USDA – but for the long term. They will talk to us, and come back with what needs to be done and the costs. They can help us with setting Quick Books for this audit, for the long term and making it work with our budget items.” Evans told the council one of the benefits of Quick Books. “We would no longer do hand-written checks,” Evans said. “We have been doing everything by hand.” The council agreed to allow the consultation. The council agreed to pay the bills but Evans brought up a problem with paying the water bill with the City of Dadeville. “Our water bill is due on the 10th,” Evans explained. “If we do not pay it by then there is a 10 percent penalty. That penalty is easily over $1,000 and we have been late
Truck truck. The person responsible didn’t know that the trailer had a GPS device as well, Lovett said. “The company’s investigator tracked the trailer to a warehouse in Montgomery and contacted us,” Lovett said. “Our folks went down and verified that the lumber appeared to be in that location. So they contacted ALEA’s SBI. It was through them that a search warrant was obtained and once inside it was verified that it was the lumber that had been with the stolen truck.” Southeastern Logistics secured another trailer and was able to load and recover the wood.

before.” Pogue asked why it had not been paid. “It was not authorized by you all,” Evans said. “I will just go ahead and pay it now.” Camp Hill Police Chief Johnny Potts updated the council on the department. “We have been doing pretty good,” Potts said. “We have not taken a report of burglary or theft in the last few months. I think it is due to more patrols. I have told the officers not to spend too much time at the department, to be proactive in patrols.” Before adjourning, Pogue asked if the council could go into executive session to discuss good name and character of someone. The council agreed. The Camp Hill Town Council also: approved the sales tax holiday for back to school items in August. approved to get an estimate to get the emergency siren operable. approved minutes of the June 15 meeting. approved to allow Potts to attend the police chiefs state convention in Orange Beach. would like for a representative from the gas company to be at the next meeting.
continued from page 1 tigators. “A short time later they were able to locate the truck about 16 miles away,” Lovett said. “They also found the trailer not too far from the warehouse.” Truck, trailer and load were valued at more than $100,000, Lovett said. “Det. Osborne worked tirelessly, putting in countless hours on this and right now they are looking to identify a suspect in the theft,” Lovett said. “Obviously getting the truck and trailer back was a good thing for the company, because in a lot of these cases they are long gone. We are still hopeful that we will be able to make an arrest and find the person responsible

CENTRAL-COOSA’S NEW TOP CAT New head coach Simmons looks to turn Cougars into winning program By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor
There will officially be a new head coach roaming the sidelines at Central High School of Coosa County. First-time head coach Barry Simmons is the new man in charge of the Cougars, coming over after a stint as defensive coordinator of Calera High School and at Childersburg High School before that. During his stint at Calera, Simmons was the head of a top-five scoring defense and a part of a program that had runs as the No. 1 team in the state in Class 4A and is coming off back-to-back 10-win seasons. Simmons said he is hoping to bring some of that success to a Coosa program that has not had a winning record or a playoff berth since 2000. “I was a part of the turnaround at Childersburg, which was a very similar situation to here where they had only made the playoffs two times in school history,” Simmons said. “The last year that I was there, we made the playoffs, so I was real proud to be a part of the turnaround there.” Simmons said one of the biggest challenges in the turnaround is overcoming a late start in taking over the program. He was hired in the first week of June so was not able to work with the team during the spring. But Simmons said the coaching staff has done a wonderful job of getting the players organized for summer workouts, as the Cougars have had an average of 40-45 players attend the strength and conditioning program throughout the break. “The biggest challenge is that I came in so late. When I was first offered the job in the first week of June, I didn’t even have a chance to meet the team until we established our first workout dates for the summer,” Simmons said. “So, that was a challenge getting the word out and getting the kids here. And they’ve been here. Coach (Hunter) Price and Coach (J.D.) Atkins, Coach (Matt) Moore and Coach (Dave) Stover have done a really good job of contacting the kids and making sure they got here to the workouts.” Simmons said one of the key factors to getting the Cougars on the right side of the win-loss column is getting the community involved in the program. He said he has been very thankful for the readiness of the community to support the program. “I’m very excited to be here. It’s a great community here and we’ve gotten a lot of support here – a lot more support than I really realized was here before I got here,” Simmons said. “Everything is moving in the right direction. We’re establishing our booster clubs and have had a lot of community support here and our principal, Mr.

(Delyn) Bouldin, is doing a good job.” As far as the turnaround within the program, Simmons said it is going to take getting the players to believe they can win. “No. 1, we have to have the buy-in from the kids believing in what we’re doing. So, we’ve got to change the attitude of the kids from thinking we can’t to knowing that we can. That’s what we’re in the transition of right now,” Simmons said. “I feel like our kids are starting to buy-in and starting to turn that corner. When we first got here and were doing competitive drills, there wasn’t a lot of competition here and we had to really get on them about that. But as time has progressed, there’s a lot more competition in our drills from the start. I’m really proud of that.” And as is the case with any great football program, Simmons said, it is going to take a great strength and conditioning program to find success on the field. “No. 2, we have to establish our strength and conditioning program. We want to have the best strength and conditioning program in the state,” Simmons said. “And it’s going to take time because we don’t have the equipment that we need right now, but at the same time we want to do the very best with what we have right now – no excuses. That’s what we tell the kids. There are no
excuses anymore. That’s the attitude we want to have. It’s not why we can’t get something done, it’s how can we get it done because we won’t accept failure anymore at Coosa-Central.” Defensively, Simmons said he hopes to bring a physical brand of football to Rockford. “Defensively, our philosophy is that we’re a gap scheme. Obviously, we’re a 4-2-5 defense and we want to play fast and play physical,” Simmons said. “(Longtime Florida State Defensive Coordinator) Mickey Andrews said it one time – it’s all about running and tackling. We want to establish our brand as a very physical brand of defense. We’ll be gap sound, but we want to be very physical in what we do.” And offensively, Simmons said the Cougars want to be able to outrun and physically pound their opponents. “Offensively, we’re going to be a very high-paced, fast offense. We want to be a very fun offense, but we also want to be the same as our defense in terms of being a smashmouth offense,” Simmons said. “We want to be able to punch it at you and run the football first; then use play-action and throw off of that.” And along with building a successful program on the field, Simmons said he and
his staff want to build upstanding citizens. “More than anything, I look to develop them as young men. I’m a Christian and I believe in Christian values, and that’s what we want to teach them,” Simmons said. “We not only want them to be great football players and great students, but to be great men and members of their community. At the end of the day – it doesn’t matter how many games we win or lose – if we can accomplish that goal of creating good young men, then we’ve done our job.” From the day he first stepped on campus, Simmons said he looked at the Coosa program for the long-term. He said he aims to be a Cougar for the long haul in trying to turn the program into one of Class 3A’s best. “I’m excited about this job. I’m looking at the long-term deal here. I’m not looking to be in and out here,” Simmons said. “I’m looking to build a program here, and not just a program, but we want to be the top 3A program in the state. That’s what we want to do and we’re going to do that by developing young men physically and putting a good product on the field. I feel like we’ve got the coaches to do that. I’m really excited about what we have here and what we can build from what we have here. It’s a new day here at Coosa Central High School and I’m excited to be a part of it.”

he Southeastern Conference has more competitive balance at present than it’s probably ever had in its history. As proof, Mississippi State reached No. 1 in the country last season (for a brief time) and Ole Miss wasn’t far behind, soaring as high as No. 3. This makes winning the league title one of the most difficult accomplishments in sports. However, as a byproduct it also makes each and every Saturday that much more entertaining for we the fans. Here are three under-the-radar games I wouldn’t have paid attention to five years ago, but now I wouldn’t dare miss in 2015. Sept. 12 – Kentucky at South Carolina: The Wildcats opened last season 5-1 with the only loss being in controversial fashion at Gainesville in three overtimes. Granted, they didn’t win another game the rest of the season, but Mark Stoops has created some real excitement in Lexington. QB Patrick Towles returns after a very impressive freshman campaign and the Cats have plenty of young talent at the skill positions. Who knows what to expect from Steve Spurrier and the Gamecocks? He’s still a brilliant coach, but their defense was one of the few worse than Auburn’s last year. He’ll also be breaking in another new quarterback. This game in week two is a must win for both programs. Neither team can afford a loss to the other. Sept. 12 – LSU at Mississippi State: QB Dak Prescott led the Bulldogs to unprecedented heights in 2014. One of the mountain tops was a beat down of LSU in Baton Rouge. The scoreboard said State won 34-29, but the game wasn’t nearly that close. The good news is Prescott is back. The bad news is a
lot of the foundation around him is not. LSU struggled to an 8-4 mark last season. The Bengal Tigers struggled at the quarterback posiANDY tion and never got on track GRAHAM offensively. Talent never Sports seems to be a problem in Columnist the Bayou and RB Leonard Fournette is already receiving Heisman consideration before the season even begins. This game is almost always early and hasn’t been very interesting for a long time. In 2015, LSU is looking for revenge and the Bulldogs are desperate to prove last year wasn’t a fluke. If you’re looking for me on this particular Saturday, leave me alone. I’ll be in front of my television. Oct. 3 – Arkansas at Tennessee: A pair of dark horses will collide in week five and the loser may be destined for the glue factory. The Volunteers haven’t won more than seven games in a season since 2007. Butch Jones has recruited well and many believe this is the year the spell is finally broken. Tennessee may not have a lot of depth, but their starting 22 are pretty good. Bret Bielema has remade Arkansas in his own image. The Hogs are overweight and dopey looking. No, no, I’m just kidding. The Razorbacks have a massive offensive line and are extremely physical. Bielema was able to get over the hump last season with two league victories and a blowout win over Texas in the bowl game. This is another important matchup between two programs frantic to rise above their mediocrity. It’s only one game, but it could definitely be a springboard to an outstanding season for the winner. The loser won’t even get a set of steak knives. Graham is a sports columnist for The Outlook.

Horoscope
JACQUELINE BIGARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STARS ARIES (March 21-April 19) --You might feel pressured at home or at work. You will be eyeing a potential change. If you feel uncomfortable, look within for a response. You also might decide to say less but connect more often with a family member who seems to need you. Tonight: Go with the unexpected. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t push so hard to have your way. You know what you are doing, but those around you might be hesitant. Be careful not to displace your anger. You might be taken aback by everything that is happening around you. Slow down the pace. Tonight: Listen to your inner voice. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --You might need to relax some and not worry so much about someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction. You could be tired and worn out by a situation that you cannot change. Stay on top of your priorities. Honor a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request. A meeting could be very important. Tonight: Friends equal fun. CANCER (June 21-July 22) --You might want to try a different way of handling a pressured situation. You will need to keep communication open, but you also could be becoming less willing to Âżnd a solution. Ask yourself what would work best. Be willing to walk away, if need be. Tonight: Up late. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --Some of you might not be aware of how much you are suppressing anger. It would be best to detach for now. Communication needs to be authentic to make the difference you want. Cut through confusion with what you know is true. Tonight: Do something totally different. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --Have one-and-one conversations. A friend who seems to be on the warpath might surprise you by forcing you to take another look at your relationship. Tap into your imagination and try to see a situation differently. A loved one is likely to shock
you. Tonight: Among the crowds. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) --Defer to others in order to get a different perspective. Remain conÂżdent, even if events prove to be full of surprises or someone does the unexpected. Refuse to allow yourself to be irritated by everything that happens. Tonight: Defer, defer, defer. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) --Get into a project, and you might be able to avoid a problem with an associate who is on the warpath. Honor a change of direction, and know what you need and want. Be more direct, and make fewer assertions about the other party. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) --You could be deciding to venture out in a new direction. Others like to share their ideas with you because you take and integrate them well. One-on-one relating has many surprises, as you will discover. Maintain your sense of humor. Tonight: Allow your imagination to decide. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --Deal with a property matter that is likely to surprise you in some way. Others share an interest in what you are doing. Try to avoid stirring the pot. A friend might not be as supportive as you would like him or her to be. Understand what is going on. Tonight: Head home early. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) --Ask rather than sit on a question too long. You might wonder what would be the best way to handle a problem that arises from out of the blue. You can discuss it forever, but you will need to take action to resolve the problem. Do not overthink. Tonight: Catch up on news. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) --Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll move into a new realm of thinking. How you handle a personal matter could change as a result. You will be more willing to express what others view as being a very wild idea. Allow your imagination to Ă&#x20AC;ow. Avoid taking any Âżnancial risks. Tonight: Make it your treat.

The Outlook
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You know, pork is the next best thing to baconâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
H
appy Birthday to Kelby Jennings who is turning 17 years old today. Also, a Happy second anniversary to Peggie Sueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grands: Cody and Kate Ott in Colorado, on July 13th. We got plenty of stormy weather this past week, rains and winds took out our power one evening for several hours, and we are still without land phone service as I write. We also had a couple of panes blown out from our small greenhouse, and loads of small tree limbs down all around the property. It was great not to have to water anything for the past week, which is a big chore in the extreme heat. Luckily, there were long breaks in the rains, so Independence Day fun could be had. Ron grilled a fabulous pork loin for us. You know, pork is the next best thing to bacon and always tasty. I hope yours was an excellent holiday. The way the calendar fell, made for a great long weekend. Ron and I went to Cozumel Mexican Grill for a break lunch on July 3. The Grill was closed on July 4th, but they all worked giving the inside a fresh coat of paint in a completely different color. Pat Garnett is still in therapy for her shoulder muscle repair surgery; behaving herself, and getting better as the days pass. Patâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sisterin-Law Neta Stephens had arthroscopic sur-
ROSIE MORGAN Nixburg/ Equality
gery on July 2, for discs in her back, and is recuperating with devoted help from husband Wayne. Last week relatives have come and gone from south Texas and Georgia to visit with Phil Stephens, enjoying fun at his lake place. Just about all of the grandchildren of Phil and Patâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late Mother gathered for this family reunion. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always so good to see close family, when they live far away and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see them so often. I ran into Sylvia Borden last week, she lives at Real Island and is always the sweetest lady for a chat. Sylvia has the most beautiful blue eyes, you just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but notice. Recently, President Obama stated about Cuba, that we cannot make current, present and future Cubanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in charge, pay for the mistakes of the past. I understand that, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true. When you are grownup, you are no longer your brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keeper. People make up their mind about the kind of person they want to be. Why then does President Obama want to remove anything pertaining to the Civil War and the Confederate flag? Nothing will change our history; and
for most of us, history is important it shapes us into who we are. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why you have to know where you came from, to know where you are going in the future. For most of us in the South, the Confederate Flag is a symbol of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Southern Pride,â&#x20AC;? and the War was always about taxation without representation, much as it is right now. I am proud to be owner of a Confederate Flag, it goes along with the history of our house, as Pete Richards joined the CSA, and afterwards walked home to Nixburg. He was proud to be doing his part for the South. Another note of Southern Pride is having a job and providing well for family. Quite a difficult feat now with 93 million (new folks) not in the Labor force, and our economic growth listed as -2 percent. After all, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t our economy more important than current friendship weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve not enjoyed since 1960 with Cuba; where the everyday person has virtually nothing. Mark your calendar for Friday July 31st, for the 10th annual Wetumpka Humane Shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wags and
Whiskersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Auction evening. D.J. Ziggy, bidding and food begins at 6 p.m. The auction starts and food cleared by 7:30 p.m. and door prizes, foods from Creek Casino will be part of the evening. Tickets are $25 per couples and $15 for singles. Until next week, keep smiling. Rosie Rosie Morgan is a community columnist who features news and notes from the areas of Nixburg and Equality.
