City begins to sort out pay issues Handling of raises called ‘loosey goosey’ By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

Mitch Sneed / The Outlook

Mayor Charles Shaw explains why he felt he had authority to approve pay increases.

The Alexander City City Council went through more than $100,000 in pay increases that had apparently been doled out despite never being brought before the council for approval at a special called meeting Wednesday afternoon. Mayor Charles Shaw has maintained that he felt the city’s personnel manual gave him the authority and cited one area during Wednesday’s meeting. Despite Council members Sherry EllisonSimpson, Bob Howard and

James Spann pointing out where it did say that council approval was required, it was city attorney Larkin Radney who seemed to put that part of the argument to rest. “It is very clear to me that in all departments that pay increases, promotions and so forth can’t be finalized until determined by the council,” Radney said. “This is my opinion, that any reassignments or adjustments to pay and grade must be approved by the council. Now with that Mitch Sneed / The Outlook said, yes, they should be vetAlexander City Finance Director Sandra Machen listens to questions ted by the department heads, See COUNCIL, Page 5 about why the moves created budget issues at Wednesday’s meeting.

Tests show toddler’s death was drug related

270 pot plants seized in joint operation State and locate officials locate and raid field off Barrett Road

By Mitch Sneed

Outlook Editor

The death of a 3-yearold Alexander City boy last December may be headed to the grand jury after toxicology reports revealed that drugs caused his death. Bentley Cole Missildine, 3, of Alexander City died at Russell Medical Center on December 27, shortly after officers were called to a home on Barrett Road. As in the case of any unexpected death, the Alexander City Police Department launched an investigation and the toxicology report that was a part of that probe showed that methadone toxicity was the cause of death. Methadone is an opiate that is used sometimes to help recovering addicts. It is also used as a pain reliever and as part of drug addiction detoxification and maintenance programs and is only available from See DEATH, Page 8

The Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force, working in conjunction with special agents assigned to the Narcotics Unit of ALEA’s State Bureau of Investigations, located and seized 270 marijuana plans from a secluded field off Barrett Road Wednesday. SBI Narcotics and ALEA Aviation used helicopters in the area to locate the plants and then worked with local agents to eradicate the plants from the unmanned field. “It was an area that was pretty well hidden in a wooded area up off Highway 22 on Barrett Road as you head towards New Site,” said Sgt. Fred White of the Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force. “We were able to clear the plants, but no arrests were made today. But obviously we are still investigating.” The plants were in various stages of growth, but all appeared to be very healthy. Many had already started to bud heavily. The Drug Enforcement Agency values an adult producing marijuana plant at $3,000, meaning the haul could be valued at $810,000 in drugs. DEA See BUST, Page 5

Investigators located a field of marijuana of tucked into a wooded area off Barrett Road from the air. The Tallapoosa Narcotics Task Force and state officials worked together to locate these 270 plants and remove them. No arrests were made, but officials say the investigation remains active.

Alexander City BOE adopts Lake Levels 489.56 new drug testing policy Lake Martin

Cliff Williams / The Outlook

A high of 100 degrees was predicted Wednesday, but it didn’t quite make it as the thermometer at Express Oil Change shows. No one can argue that it was still very hot.

The Alexander City Board of Education Tuesday night adopted a policy that would make students with parking permits and those in grades 7 through 12 participating in certain extracurricular activities subject to random drug testing, elected a new president and vice president and renewed a food service contract. The board also adopted

procedures for the random drug testing that would be administered to the affected students. The board adopted both the drug policies for students with Benjamin Russell High School parking permits and those who participate in extracurricular activities unanimously. However, board member Dorothea Parker encouraged Superintendent Darrell Cooper to look at including engaged in

extracurricular activities not specified in the policy. “I think we need to look at expanding this policy to include all students involved in any extracurricular activity,” Walker said. Cooper said his concern with expanding the list of extracurricular activities covered was the expansion of the number of students in the pool. “Two things concern See BOARD, Page 8

The Outlook

DEAR ABBY: I have been having an affair with a married man for eight years. At first, both of us were married, but my husband died two years ago. Since then, my lover and I have grown closer, but he won’t leave his wife because of his kids. I love him dearly, but cannot go on living life this way. He doesn’t want me to see other people. Every time I try to end it, he talks me out of it and makes me feel guilty for trying. I need help, please. -- MESSED UP IN MINNESOTA DEAR MESSED UP: The little voice that’s telling you you can’t go on living this way is your rational thinking. The one that’s talking you out of moving on is coming from a selfish individual who is thinking only of his own interests and not yours. As it stands, your lover has a harem. If that’s fine with you, I can’t change your mind. But if it isn’t, remove the blinders from your

DEAR ABBY Advice

eyes and end this romance because it is going nowhere and probably never will. DEAR ABBY: I’m in a quandary. Many years ago, we rescued a precious 4-year-old and her newborn brother from a horrific living situation and tried to adopt them. After more than a year and 16 contentious court hearings, we were devastated when the court returned them to their mother. I’m sure they have no idea how hard we fought for them, and I still love them dearly and keep tabs on them as best I can. The girl is now 18, and I am retiring and will be moving away. I have a bin of baby things, school mementos, etc. for each of them that I’ve kept

all these years, and which I will return to them. However, I also have the many photographs that documented their indescribable living conditions, the police reports, the court documents, etc. I strongly feel these should be destroyed, because to see and read this graphic information would be far too traumatic and would serve no good purpose. What do you think? Is it right to withhold this from them? -- HOLDING ON IN CALIFORNIA DEAR HOLDING ON: I don’t believe in withholding information, so before you do, I think you should tell the young woman what you have and let her make the final decision about what should be done with it. DEAR ABBY: I have heard this but never believed it: When a woman is beautiful, men are afraid to ask her out for fear that they will be turned down. I am 65, and all my life I have (luckily) been told that I am beauti-

ful. I have imperfections, but if I were a man, I would be proud to be seen with me. Men stutter around me, so they don’t ask me out. I attract younger men, but I live in a small town and I wouldn’t want to start rumors. Please tell me what you think about my dilemma, and will I ever find a soul mate. -WONDERING IN GEORGIA DEAR WONDERING: You will find a soul mate after you stop worrying about what people say about you. At your age, eligible men are scarce, so if someone younger shows interest, don’t make your decisions on outdated stereotypes, take him up on it!

Former Camp Hill councilman and utilities worker to pay restitution By Cliff Williams Outlook Staff Writer

Former Camp Hill Council Member Robert Shelley has entered a pre-trial diversion agreement avoiding trial. According to court documents, Shelley will pay $4,000 in restitution to the Town of Camp Hill by way of the Circuit Clerk’s office along with more than $1,000 in other fees. The order, signed by Shelley, has him making payments totaling $100 a month to cover the fees and restitution. The agreement also has Shelley under the supervision of the district attorney’s office for four years. If Shelley completes the terms of the agreement, the charges will not be prosecuted. The case stemmed from an ethics complaint filed in May

2014 by citizens of Camp Hill. Not long after the complaint was filed, Shelley resigned his position on the Camp Hill Town Council in June 2014. In Dec. 2014, the Alabama Ethics Commission found him in violation of the Alabama Ethics Law. Evidence reviewed by the commission found that Shelley had been inappropriately reimbursed for mileage while working as a meter reader for the town at the same time he served as council member, Ethics Commission General Counsel Hugh Evans confirmed. Shelley was indicted in February on the charge of using his position for personal gain. Shelley is currently employed by the Town of Camp Hill in the utilities department.

Poarch deal no fix for general fund

ne indication of when something is not a a good idea is that when people standing on both sides of the fence don’t like it. Take the idea of the state of Alabama of turning to the Poarch Band of Creek Indians to help bail the state out of a budget crisis. On the surface, it looks like free money and that tax increases will be avoided. What’s wrong with that? The Poarch Tribe wants to cover the $250 million General Fund deficit in return for the state granting them exclusive rights to casino gaming in the state. The offer came on the heels of a proposal by Sen. Del Marsh (R-Anniston) that would expand gambling at four locations around the state, in addition to approving a state-sponsored lottery. Sounds a little like if you let us make all the money, we will give you a cut too. Consider the words of Muscogee Creek Nation Principal Chief George P. Tiger in a letter asking Gov. Robert Bentley to reject the compact offer by the Poarch Band. “The development of a ... gaming facility at the site of Hickory Ground by the Poarch Band is in violation of federal laws including the National Historic Preservation Act and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act,” Tiger wrote. “A gaming compact with the Poarch Band would implicitly ratify that desecration and fraud, because the revenues paid to your state would come from a casino built on our historical site, ceremonial grounds and ancestors’ burial grounds. ” Tiger claims the land where the casinos sit is a sacred burial and ceremonial site. While that argument has nothing to do with state finances, it shows that it’s not the kind of situation the state needs to get in bed with. Regardless of how you feel about gambling, the state making something off it can help a budget. Whether it is off a lottery or casino gaming, every little bit helps. But instead of rolling the dice and pinning the state’s financial solvency to gambling, lawmakers need to work together, consider all options and come with a responsible long-term fix.

It’s often been said that anyone can be a father, but it takes a real man to be a dad. My dad, Randall Fuller from the Elder community of Dadeville, was a real man, and I don’t mean just because he had a mustache. Before losing his eyesight to diabetes in 1974, he was a barber in Opelika and Auburn. Since there was little demand for blind barbers, he needed some help and enrolled in the Business Enterprise Program at the Alabama School for the Blind. Upon completion of the program, he’d acquired the necessary skills and training to operate a business. My dad, who was completely blind, managed vending machines at many federal and state buildings in Montgomery. By now, mom and dad were divorced, and he’d remarried a lady who was legally blind; therefore, neither could drive, so he had to walk to the bus stop every day with nothing but his keen senses and a walking cane. Somehow, he managed to maneuver his way around our capital city. My brother and I went to work with him a few times, but, at the time, had no idea what we were witnessing. Now, however, we are in awe of what he did. He set such a great example for his two young and impressionable boys. He didn’t claim to be special; he just led by example. We would spend every other weekend with him

and a few weeks during the summer. Often, as we were loading back up into our 1971 gas-guzzling Sherman tank to head back to Opelika, our dad would give us money. It wasn’t much. If we were lucky, it was a Kennedy half dollar. We used to get a lot of spankings but I usually had time to pad my backside before the blind man took off his belt. Hey, a boy’s gotta do what a boy’s gotta do. Unfortunately, I didn’t always have time to pad my backside. One day, before getting into the tank, I asked him for money. He yanked his belt off faster than Sinbad the Sailor. I got a lot of whippings as a youngster, but there are about four of them that really stand out. This was one of them. He taught me a valuable lesson that day. I hadn’t done anything to earn that money and certainly wasn’t entitled to it. Since that day, I’ve never held my hand out expecting something for doing nothing. I’m grateful he set me straight at such an early age. He was a real father. He taught us to say “Yes, sir” and “No, sir.” For Christmas, he bought us

enriching gifts such as globes, books, and encyclopedias. He even made us eat all of our vegetables, although I sometimes gave mine to the dog. Hey, a boy’s gotta do what a boy’s gotta do. Diabetes ended his life prematurely. He was just 35 years old. My brother was 11; I was a month shy of turning nine. We weren’t with him for very long but were with him long enough to be forever impacted by his fatherly ways. The man knew what he was doing. He had a great father, as well. Sadly not all kids have great fathers, which is a shame. Every kid needs a father or a father figure in his or her life. When my dad died, one of my uncles picked up the slack. If a father figure is not available, the mother must pull double duty. Although incredibly difficult, it can be done. I’m grateful to have had a strong mother, too. So, to all the dads out there, I say Happy Father’s Day; however, if you’re just a father and not a dad, the time to make that transition is today.

City should be taking the same steps to save as private businesses Dear Editor, Are you kidding me? It is absurd for Alex City to provide over $110,000 of pay raises for city employees at a time when almost all of us in private business have taken a tremendous financial hit in the past two years and at a time when the sales tax in Alex City will soon be 10 percent (one of the highest in the state). The city should conduct business like the rest of us and be very careful with every dollar they spend.

Limiting overtime, careful monitoring of productivity and, when necessary, cutting back on work hours are some of the tools we in private business use when income is dropping. I would expect the city to do no less. And who in their right mind would give raises in the face of falling income? Come on guys. You should at least pretend to do the right thing. Billy Sellers Alexander City

Dadeville business is helping people with ‘exceptionalities’ succeed Dear Editor, When my grandson graduated in 2014, he told his mother he didn’t know what he was going to do with his life. My grandson was diagnosed with autism around the age of eight years old. We knew he showed all the signs such as not being able to tolerate loud noise, echolia when someone speaks and being fixated with certain objects. It was difficult to accept he was different. Jhmiyas likes to go in Foodland because of the friendly atmosphere and the well organized store. Jhmiyas named several places that he wanted to work at and Foodland was one of those places. He proceeded to fill out applications and go on interviews, but no one would hire him. Through God’s grace and mercy, we heard

about Jackie Johnson Employment Service. Jymiyas met with Mr. Michael Taylor who is a job coach. Mr. Taylor took Jhmiyas under his wings and introduced him to the work force. Jhmiyas was hired on June 8 at Foodland. He now sees a future for himself. It was difficult for him to stay focused the first day on the job because he was so excited. We are thankful to Foodland management and Mr. Taylor for giving him a chance and working patiently with him as he learns his roles and responsibilities. Lots of people with exceptionalities may never get this opportunity but we are thankful that Jhmiyas did. Faye Tinsley Dadeville

Council the personnel director and the mayor. They must be voted up or down by the council.” After all the papers were shuffled and each move was explained, Council President Bob Howard said more information was needed so that the council could make some decisions on the moves. He broke them down into three categories. Howard grouped them as increases that were the result of certifications or degrees earned. Another group was moves that were part of restructuring in public works that hadn’t been approved by the council. But the one that was separated from all the others and one of those that the council said needed individual attention was a $16,561 increase only signed off on by the mayor to his executive administrative assistant. “We need a work session to address those three areas, having all the justification and information in hand, and make a determination on which way to go,” Howard said. “Like Larkin said vote up or down, one way or the other.” It was the largest increase, a six-grade pay increase, that drew the most conversation. “We are looking at an increase of roughly $16,000,” Ellison Simpson said. “I just have a problem with an increase of that many steps and that amount. Whether it’s right or wrong, I just think we have to have more information to explain how that came about.” Spann agreed. “We never saw it, we never knew about it and we never approved it,” Spann said. “It’s just

that it was not done in the regular, proper manner. It’s not that anyone was trying to get over on anyone or anything like that. I just don’t think it was done the right way and that’s why we need to look at it with all the paperwork and back up to consider.” Last week, the council voted to freeze pay increases and new hires vote after The Outlook requested information on pay increases and that data was distributed to members of the council June 1. The documents show that at least two dozen city employees received pay increases, totaling more than $111,000, that weren’t approved by the city council. The city’s personnel handbook calls for pay increases to be “submitted through the mayor to the city council for approval.” City Finance Director Sandra Machen had discovered some irregularities in January between the approved budget and salaries. Machen said Wednesday that she had requested the information multiple times and it had never been supplied. “I first asked in January and asked several other times since,” Machen said. “It wasn’t until a few weeks ago, when the newspaper had asked for it did I finally receive it.” Howard and several council members said that this situation and being made aware of irregularities was a signal that it was time “to get on the same page and move forward following proper procedures.” It was also learned Wednesday: • That step raises due

to certification meant different things in different departments. • Some would get two steps, while others were given four steps. • At the landfill, certification didn’t come with an increase. • Some departments, including the fire department, submitted changes to the council. • Some employees got raises to get their salary to $10 per hour because the city had been asking companies who are locating to the area to start workers at least at that level. • Pay raises could be entered into the computer by personnel without finance being aware so that they could check on budgetary impact. To close the meeting, Spann summed up the entire situation very simply. “The only word that comes to mind is loosey goosey,” Spann said. “We’ve kind of done things loosey goosey. We have done things this way this time in one department and then they were done another way next time in the next department. We just need to make sure that we have the procedures in place, that everyone knows the procedures and that every single one of these is handled the exact same way.”

estimates that a healthy plant is capable of producing up to 2.2 pounds per plant, meaning that Wednesday’s harvest could keep as much as 594 pounds of marijuana off local streets. In addition to We d n e s d a y ’s seizure, over the last two weeks, SBI Narcotics and ALEA Aviation have helped locate and destroy 2,034 marijuana plants, according an ALEA press release. “Within the first week, the SBI seized almost half of the total seized during the 2014 eradication operation,” SBI Director Gene Wiggins said in a released statement. “With the formation of the SBI and the streamlining of state law enforcement narcotics efforts, we are able to provide a more efficient, effective narcotics program.” The operation will continue over the next several weeks as operatives work to hit during the height of the growing season for the illegal drug that will eventually end up on the street.

Horoscope

JACQUELINE BIGARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STARS ARIES (March 21-April 19) --You might wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Your mood is likely to put several people off until you are able to get centered. Take a walk by water or listen to water trickling off a fountain. Later in the day, a partner could be somewhat standofÂżsh. Tonight: Head home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll gain unusual insight through your dreams, but you might not even realize it. If you look at what is occurring around a friendship, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll gain more awareness. A partner could be unusually difÂżcult or touchy. Maintain a healthy distance. Tonight: Out and about. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --Be aware of the costs of proceeding as you have been. You need to hold yourself accountable. Remain in touch with a friend who tends to shake up the status quo. You like the excitement that enters your life when he or she is around. Tonight: Your treat. CANCER (June 21-July 22) --An older relative, friend or boss could alter your plans quite a bit. This person also might force you to take a hard look at a situation that is often on your mind. A child or loved one seems to need to hold back. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interfere with this process. Tonight: Let off some steam. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --Know when to rein in your magnetic personality. Try to be a wallĂ&#x20AC;ower. You might be interested in a new activity that you had not noticed up till now. Tap into your creativity to Âżnd helpful solutions. Tonight: Try to avoid being around a depressing person. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --Zero in on your priorities; some are more important than others. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let someone rain on your parade. Your perspective will change once you start asking questions about where this person is coming from. Have an intellectual conversation. Tonight: Where your friends are.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) --Someone you need to respond to might shock you with his or her behavior. Let it go, but keep this situation in your memory, as you might want to revisit it at a later date. Your intuition will lead you down the right path. Be careful with money commitments. Tonight: Out and about. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) --You might seem somewhat stuffy to others, but you know that you are making a difference where it counts. Are you pushing too hard to have your way? Let go for now, and detach from the situation. You will see matters differently as a result. Tonight: Think â&#x20AC;&#x153;weekend.â&#x20AC;? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) --You might want to see a situation differently. Your ability to get past a problem allows you to go with the Ă&#x20AC;ow. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get too upset by what is happening, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose focus. As a result, your ability to move through a problem will be enhanced. Tonight: Be friendly. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --Others seem rather cold right now. Someone might say something that causes you to be upset. Be Ă&#x20AC;exible; you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change what is happening. You have an unusual sense of humor, but it probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work on a friend who is singing the blues. Tonight: Just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be alone. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) --Do what is needed to make you happier and feel more in touch with your needs and desires. Sometimes you give so much of yourself that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even realize how drained you are. A superior could demand a lot from you. Tonight: Till the wee hours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) --A Âżnancial matter could upset you and force your hand. How you deal with someone will change radically if you tap into your creativity. As a result, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Âżnd others to be more Ă&#x20AC;exible. Trust your judgment. Tonight: Let a loved one know your expectations.Someone will open up, given

certified pharmacies. Local pediatrician Dr. Billy Sellers said that methadone is not a drug that is prescribed to a child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know of no reason why a 3-year-old would be prescribed methadone,â&#x20AC;? Sellers said Wednesday evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never seen methadone prescribed for a child before puberty. There is so much drug use in our area that a child could easily have unauthorized access to lethal drugs. This is a tragedy.â&#x20AC;? It remains unclear how the child may have come in contact with the drug. After the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, he was remembered in his obituary as an active member of Family Worship Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Master Bentley was a very active and loving child, who enjoyed playing with blocks, trucks, and books,â&#x20AC;? according to the obituary that appear in The Outlook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of his favorite shows were Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.â&#x20AC;? The Outlook confirmed Wednesday that

no arrests have been made in the case. No charges have been filed according to a search of court records. Chief Deputy District Attorney Damon Lewis said that Fifth Judicial Circuit District Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office does not comment on cases prior to indictment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next grand jury session is in July, but those presentations remain secret until a case has been indicted,â&#x20AC;? Lewis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not uncommon for cases prior to arrest to be presented to a grand jury.â&#x20AC;? This is not the only recent case in the state where a toddler died after ingesting methadone. In March, Bessemer Police charged 31-yearold Cassie Townsend with chemical endangerment exposure to a child resulting in death after 2-year-old Demonie Hendon died there. Townsend told police that she was watching the child when she noticed her soda bottle filled with methadone, that she took to reduce heroin and narcotic withdrawal symptoms, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t where she left it.

Which Auburn football team is best of all-time?

he Associated Press recently gazed into its crystal ball and predicted Auburn to play for this season’s national championship. Instead of looking ahead, let’s review history and ask, “What is the best Auburn team of all time?” With respect to Mike Donahue’s unbeaten 1913 and 1914 teams (the latter was unscored upon), and Shug Jordan’s revered 1957 national champs featuring the late Jimmy Phillips of Alex City, two teams rise above all others: 2004 and 2010. Let’s break out the measuring tape:  Both teams employed Gene Chizik, went 14-0 and were SEC champions.  Both teams had star power on defense. 2004 cornerback Carlos Rogers won the Jim Thorpe Award. 2010 defensive tackle Nick Fairley won the Lombardi Award.  Both had star power on offense. 2004 running back Carnell Williams was an All-American, and his sidekick Ronnie Brown wasn’t bad either. 2004 linemen Ben Grubbs and Marcus McNeill are NFL Pro Bowlers. 2010 quarterback Cam Newton needs no further introduction. He was only the best player on the planet.  Both teams beat rival Georgia by 18. Let’s examine this further, though. Tommy Tuberville’s 2004 team methodically crushed the Bulldogs 24-6, allowing only a trash touchdown in the final moments. Chizik’s team overcame a 21-7 deficit before pulling away in the fourth quarter.  Both teams won at Tuscaloosa. Tuberville’s team trailed 6-0 at the half, but scored the game’s next 21 points and won with little drama. Chizik’s 2010 team had to overcome a 24-0 deficit. Though 2004 Auburn didn’t need a massive comeback, that Tide team was wretched by Alabama standards. The 2010 Alabama team that jumped on Cam early – and passed for like 5 gazillion yards in the first half – was really good.  Newton’s Tigers were about as clutch as a team could be. His Tigers routinely trailed on Saturdays (Clemson, South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama quickly come to mind). A few Cam runs here, a pass to Darvin Adams there, a dash of Fairley hits behind the line here, throw in a little Michael Dyer or Lutzie there, and sprinkle the game-winning field goal. Rinse. Repeat. Why bite fingernails? Auburn was going to win all along, right? They had the clutch part figured out.  Other than rallying to beat LSU 10-9 early in the season, Tuberville’s Tigers weren’t clutch at all. Why? They didn’t need to be. Auburn dominated most games in 2004. For example, they led 31-3 at Tennessee in the second quarter, led 43-0 at Mississippi State, and scored the game’s first 30 points against Arkansas. The Razorback band finally played the school fight song after Auburn missed an extra point in the second quarter.  What about the schedule? The 2004 team beat five ranked schools, including Tennessee twice. Cam’s Tigers beat seven ranked teams. The SEC was a tougher conference in 2010, and is even stronger today.  The offenses? 2010 was a point machine. Pinball with a football in Dyer and Onterrio McCalebb’s hands. 2004 was more methodical, by design. Caddy, Brown, Campbell, first down. Move the chains.  The defenses? 2010 was strong against the run, not so much against the pass. Fairley was a beast though. 2004’s defense was strong against anything and ranked among the nation’s best. Which is the better team? I’ll take 2004, national crown or not. Tuberville’s Tigers dominated most games they played, had weapons on offense and were rock-solid on defense. Cam’s national championship 2010 team was amazing and fun to watch, but won seven games by a touchdown or less. Give me dominance, not drama.

GETTING BACK TO BASICS

Area youth work on fundamentals, gain valuable lessons from football camp By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

REELTOWN – Wednesday capped off three days of young area players polishing up their football skills. The football camp portion of the 21st Century Wall Street Community Learning Center camps came to a close on Wednesday with more than 160 children attending the camp that included the Friends of the League, Reeltown football Coach Jackie O’Neal, former Auburn standout Michael Goggans and former Alabama player Pierre Goode. “I think they enjoyed the fundamental aspects of it because everybody loves to do agility drills and work on technique,” O’Neal said. “Of course, after a prolonged period of four hours, you start losing their attention, so we really got them into it with the competitive games we did the last two days. The first two days we did a lot of instructional stuff and working on the fundamentals on the defensive and offensive sides of the ball.” Cedric Buckner of Friends of the League said having former players and coaches who have competed on the college and professional level lead the camp provided special inspiration for the youth players who attended. “I just think it served as a great inspiration to have coaches out here with the kids. Any time you can get work from coaches who have been there and done it, that’s great,” Buckner said. “The kids worked hard. For me personally, this is the best camp that I’ve ever worked. The kids worked hard these last three days.” Along with the Friends of the League, Reeltown coaches and players also participated in the camp. O’Neal said the camp had the added value of giving the youth players someone to look up to and the Reeltown players a reminder of where they started. “I think it was a great value for our players as well as the smaller kids. It lets them also be a little bit more humble about where they’re at,” O’Neal said. “It’s a different scene on Friday nights when you have that helmet on and nobody really knows you except by a number. Now, the kids can equate a face with it. Then you break it down to this is where you started. And it gives the younger kids an opportunity see where they got to now.”

O’Neal added that having the coaches talk about where they started was inspirational for campers. “Then to have these coaches come in who have played some college ball, some played in the league and we had Coach Willie Slater over at Tuskegee come talk to them about where we all started,” O’Neal said. “We didn’t start where we’re at now, we started where you’re (young players) at now. When you talk to them on that level, it’s a lot easier for those kids to understand ‘I’ve got a shot in life.’”

Above all, O’Neal said he hopes camp served to make the campers better people as they move forward. “I think that’s one reason why they worked so hard because from day one it wasn’t about being a great athlete, it was about being a great person,” O’Neal said. “Great people will equate to great athletes. You either have the talent or you don’t – it’s not something that we can instill in you out there at a camp – but we can work on you being a great person.”

Area athletes work on pitching mechanics By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

Local softball players gathered in Dadeville Tuesday to work on their skills in the circle. Krystle Wilson-Lawson of Elite Pitching Academy hosted a pitching clinic in Dadeville, with eight players from age 12 to 17 participating. Lawson is a former softball coach and a former pitcher for Holtville High School from 2001-2004, appearing many times on the Alabama High School Athletic Association records list for career wins and strikeouts among others. “I played at Holtville and coached high school softball in Florida for five years and I moved back home,” Wilson-Lawson said. “I started doing pitching lessons with one girl and she showed improvement. When that happened, I just took it and ran with it and now I have more than 50 kids that I teach.” Local participants in the camp were Timarian Tinsley, Erin Sims, Kristen Tolbert, Baxlee McKelvey, Jailee Kirkland, Cali Jones, Malorie Meadors and Zoe Veres. “I came here (Dadeville) because they had so many who wanted to work. I came from Wetumpka,” WilsonLawson said. “We’re going to do as much as possible here because when I drive here and they all come to one place it saves them an hour drive when you get them all in one place.” Wilson-Lawson said the camp allowed for players to work one-onone on their pitching mechanics. “We had eight girls come out for our pitching clinic today and we worked on proper mechanics and just trying to get them going in the right direction as far as pitching the correct way,” Wilson-Lawson said. “It helps prevent injuries from pitching the wrong way and things like that.

hour apiece with each girl and they did about 15-30 minutes of drills to correct what they did wrong today.” Wilson-Lawson said she is hopeful to help area pitchers improve their game and shift the focus of softball back to strong pitching. “It used to be a pitcher’s game, but now it’s a hitter’s game, but we’re going to turn it back into a pitcher’s game by teaching girls how to put some spin on the ball,” Wilson-Lawson said. “You look at college softball where those pitchers started putting the spin on the ball and it’s going nowhere for the hitters. That’s what we’re trying to teach here.”
