City road projects nearing completion

Turtleneck Turtle Race reaches finish line Kenny Dean: ‘We’ve had a great run’ By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

Work on Coven Abbett, Comer and Hillabee in final stages

For 35 years, home folk and visitors alike have thrilled to the sights and sounds of racing box turtles in Alexander City at the annual Turtleneck Turtle Race. Alas, no more. Kenny Dean, who started the annual event in his front yard in the Turtleneck community near Wind Creek, says he’s ending his turtle equivalent to the Kentucky Derby after 35 years. “I think 35 years is a good stopping point,” Dean said, “We’ve had a great run. It’s been a great thing for the community and a great thing for the organizations that have benefited from it.” Dean said that, over the years, the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society and the Alzheimer’s Foundation had benefited from money See RACE, Page 3

In the peak of popularity, the Turtleneck Turtle Race drew as many as 2,500 people and captured the attention of NBC’s Willard Scott. Kenny Dean, who started the annual event in his front yard in the Turtleneck community near Wind Creek, says he’s ending his turtle equivalent to the Kentucky Derby after 35 years. These pictures from 2013 show that regardless of the venue, fun was always the result.

Dadeville’s Betty Hayes looks through some of her memorabilia from her days at NASA working with the astronauts and their wives.

The four major paving projects in Alexander City that have been in progress are nearing completion, so motorists should see smoother driving and an end to work-related delays. Public Works Engineering Assistant Marty Kendrick said that crews from Gary Ingram Paving have completed the asphalt layer on Comer Street. Kendrick said that work will shift back to Hillabee Street tomorrow where shoulder work will be the focus. “Basically what we are looking at is shoulder work on Hillabee and Comer and we hope that all that will be done on Monday if everything goes right,” Kendrick said. “They were able to get these done quickly. They involve long stretches so it didn’t require a lot of moving like the recent downtown work did.” Work at those two sites, like the work on Coven Abbett Highway, were all a part of the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement See ROADS, Page 3

Dadeville’s Betty Hayes recalls NASA days of Skylab, Apollo By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

David Granger / The Outlook

On Thursday night, millions tuned in for the premiere of the miniseries “The Astronauts’ Wives” on ABC. Dadeville’s Betty Hayes drove the Apollo astronauts’ wives. She chit-chatted with them on the phone. She worked daily with their husbands. It was an amazing time in the amazing life of Hayes, who has also been a professional model, a demolition derby driver and has, with her late husband Bob, raised a family of wolves. But her days as a young female execu-

tive assistant at NASA’s corporate partner Rockwell provided perhaps the most interesting memories. Hayes’ first husband was working for the U.S. Air Force at Ellington Air Force Base near Houston when the young lady from Dothan took a position with Rockwell as an assistant to the company’s executive Vice President Ronald K. Swim. At the time, Rockwell was involved in NASA’s Apollo program and preparing a bid for the Skylab contract. “I was told when I was hired that if I ever made any mistakes, I’d probably lose the job immediately,” said Hayes. “So I did what I was told and did it very

well and enjoyed it a lot. I loved my job. I had to constantly take notes, go to all the meetings, take the minutes, type them up and make sure all the astronauts had copies and everyone approved them. It’s the same thing I’m doing for the Dadeville Kiwanis Club.” Hayes, who says she spent 50 percent of her time on her job in the Rockwell building and 50 percent in the adjacent NASA building, also spent a portion of her time ensuring that NASA astronauts’ wives and children made it to Cape Canaveral to see their husbands’ space shots.

Rep. Mark Tuggle of Alexander City campaigned his seat on a platform that included transparency and a “sense of credibility and confidence in government.” On Thursday, Tuggle explained his recent vote against changes to the Alabama Open Meetings Act, a vote that took some people by surprise. Tuggle said the bill didn’t go far enough and that he was not happy with the language of the Act and its exemption of the Alabama Legislature. “I’m all for transparency,” Tuggle said. “I just ddin’t think this revision was clear or went far enough.” Tuggle was one of four Republican members of the Alabama House of Representatives who voted against the bill when it passed on June 3. Gov. Robert Bentley signed the bill into law June 5. The changes to the act were designed to ban See TUGGLE, Page 3

Advice

married a man who is both a racist and a bigot. I don’t blame you for being embarrassed, because jokes of this nature reflect more upon the person telling them than the minority that’s being ridiculed. Point that out to him, if you haven’t already. And you should definitely explain it to his kids so they’ll understand that this kind of humor will label them. DEAR ABBY: After 15 years of trying to establish a relationship with my in-laws, I recently decided to sever my contact with them. They have been deceptive and talk about me to my husband in whispers behind my back. I understand his loyalty to

DEAR ABBY: How can I gently break the news to my sister that I am pregnant? She has been trying to conceive for more than a year, but is still unsuccessful. (I got preg-

nant within a month of trying.) What can I do to avoid hurting her feelings when I tell her? I’m only a few weeks along, so I haven’t told anyone except my husband, of course. -- EXPECTING IN THE EAST DEAR EXPECTING: Infertility issues can be extremely painful for couples who have been trying to have a child, particularly if the problem has been going on for some time. You should tell your sister privately, in person, and before you start to show. I don’t think it’s necessary to mention that you became pregnant after only one month, because it might appear that you are gloating.

How can I help my husband see that he can have a relationship with his parents without my participation? -I’M DONE, IN ARIZONA DEAR DONE: Avoiding your in-laws isn’t the answer. If your husband hasn’t stood up to his parents and sided with you before now, your marriage is in trouble. Find a licensed marriage counselor who can “help” him realize that what his parents have been doing is undercutting his wife and sabotaging his marriage. Then cross your fingers that he’s strong enough to do something to correct it.

Information

DEAR ABBY: I recently married for the second time. My first husband was verbally and emotionally abusive. My new husband is kindhearted and takes good care of me. I have one problem though. He curses all the time. (I don’t think he realizes he is doing it anymore.) I believe that cursing makes a person look ignorant. What bothers me most are his racist jokes. I have told him I don’t like hearing him insult other races or cultures, but he still does it. He thinks the jokes are funny and he shares them with his kids. I don’t think he is really racist; I just think he’s emotionally immature and doesn’t realize how rude his behavior is. What do I do? I’m embarrassed by it and don’t want to encourage it in his kids. -- NO JOKE DEAR NO JOKE: Your second husband may treat you better than your previous one, but it appears you have

raised by the turtle race. He said he was particularly proud of the funds the event raised for the Alzheimer’s Foundation since his mother suffered from the disease. “That meant a lot to the family,” Dean said. Dean said the event started in Turtleneck, “probably over a cold beer. And, like a lot of things I’ve been involved with, there was really no rhyme or reason to it. But when it hit the national news with (NBC News’) Jessica Savitch and (The Today Show’s) Willard Scott, it really took off.” The event has taken place at various venues over the years, moving from the Deans’ front yard to its most recent site at the pavilion at Thomas C. Russell Field. Dean said, over the years, the crowds have ranged from 25 persons in the front-yard days to more than 2,500 at Wind Creek State Park. “There was one year in the early

or mid 80s when we had a crazy good crowd,” Dean said. “It was an election year and they were having a 5K run at Wind Creek and then the turtle race. We couldn’t believe the people.” Though the format of the race has varied over time (one year, Dean said, there was even an obstacle course), most years the turtles were raced in heats, the participants in each heat placed in the middle of a circle. The three turtles that touched the outer “finish line” of the circle first advanced to the finals, where the racing process was repeated. The race was held each year at about this time because of the availability of the turtles, Dean said. “In July it’s so hot you just don’t find turtles,” he said. “But in June we get a lot of rain and you’ll find them crossing the road after the rain cools it off. So we held the race each year some time around

Father’s Day and there was always plenty of turtles.” Though Dean is retiring – at least for now – as turtle race promoter, ideally he would like to see an organization take it over as a fundraiser. “That would be the perfect thing,” Dean said. “But it’s like Jazz Fest that we just had here in Alex City. Even a turtle race takes a lot of good folks to pull off.” Despite there being no turtle race this year and Dean talking retirement from the “sport,” there’s wistfulness evident when he talks about the spectacle he created. “The turtle race was a family thing,” he said. “It was a Southern thing. It was something that folks enjoyed getting out and watching and I’ll miss all that. “But my best memories will be all the kids and the older folks acting like kids and having a good time at the turtle race.”

Hayes

continued from page 1

“I was a delivery girl,” Hayes said. “Whenever there was an Apollo shot coming up, my job was to take the astronauts wives and children – whoever wanted to go to Florida for the shot. I would pick them up in their homes and take them to catch the airplane, where they would fly down to the Cape for the shot.” Though she said she’ll likely watch “The Astronauts’ Wives,” Hayes, has her own recollections – some more fond than others – of the astronauts and their families. “Among the astronauts that I worked with, John Glenn was one of the best family men I ever knew and so was Neil Armstrong,” Hayes said. “Now, some of them who I won’t name thought they were movie stars and when they’d go to a different town they’d get caught shacking up and we’d have to bail them out one way or another. At one point, we were told that one of the Hollywood starlets had gotten pregnant by one of our astronauts, so we paid all her medical bills and handled the end of the pregnancy.” Hayes also said one unnamed astronaut gave her strict instruction to never call any female who called for him by name for fear she’d call one by the name of one of the many others. “He said, ‘If a female calls just call them all dear or call them all honey.’” Hayes said. “’Don’t try to guess which one it is by the voices.’ He said, ‘I could never tell them all apart. I just call them all dear.’ So I did one time and it was his wife. And she said, ‘Betty, you remember my name’ and she repeated her name. So never mind which one that was, but he was a rounder.” The Apollo days also offered Hayes some interesting surprises, including one that happened at a seemingly innocent lunch with a girlfriend and her husband. “My girlfriend’s husband worked at NASA and his job was in the area where they made the spacesuits,” Hayes said. “He and his wife were going to have lunch one day, I think it was her birthday and it was a work day for him, and he said, ‘Bring your friend Betty,’ so I went. And we went over to pick him up at NASA and he let me try on a spacesuit. And it was Neil Armstrong’s suit! So I got to wear it before Neil did, which he used to laugh about. And we were the

same height. We were both 5-10.” After Apollo, Rockwell landed the Skylab contract and Hayes became responsible for the free time of the visiting Russian cosmonauts. “The cosmonauts were a large part of my life,” Hayes said. “When the Apollo-Soyuz test project began, and went on for years, the Cosmonauts would come in and out, fly back and forth, back and forth, and they were all very nice. They became like family and they learned quite a few English words. They had a translator, thank God. They never traveled without him or we would have got nothing done. “My boss said, ‘Make sure they have whatever they want.’ Well, that meant that I didn’t have much spare time because if they wanted to go to a playground or a park or see some kind of special show on the weekend, I drove them to downtown Houston that was about 25-30 miles from where we were.” Swim, Hayes’ boss, kept a yacht and speedboat at Lakewood Yacht and Country Club in nearby Seabrook, Texas. Once, Hayes was to stop for shrimp and Scotch and meet the boss, the cosmonauts and the interpreter at the yacht. What Hayes didn’t know was that her boss forgot his key and had to climb through a window on his yacht, telling the interpreter, “Tell the guys this is where they’ll change clothes. I’ll unlock the door in a minute.” When Hayes arrived, it was obvious something had been lost in translation. The cosmonauts stood waving and smiling next to the boat with their wet bathing suits around their ankles and a young reporter with a camera snapping away. At her boss’ urging, Hayes chased the reporter and knocked him into the lake, camera and all. “That poor little reporter,” Hayes said. “I imagine it was his last day on the job, because he had a really nice camera that went in the lake with him.” By this time, Hayes had divorced the Air Force man who brought her to Houston and married Bob Hayes, who worked for IBM. In 1976, Hayes was transferred to Atlanta and his wife’s days with the elite men and women of the American space project came to an end. “When I married Bob Hayes and his job transferred him to Atlanta and

I had to say goodbye to Rockwell and NASA they threw me a farewell party which was unbelievable,” Hayes said. “It was at a local restaurant which they closed to business from my party. The astronauts were there (including the Apollo 11 crew Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins) and the bosses were there and my partner, Annelle, was there. It was just a wonderful party.” And Hayes was celebrated as a go-to girl by the NASA brass. “Well, I made sure that the families got to the Cape on time to see their husbands take off,” Hayes said. “I made sure that at Christmas time all of our astronauts got special presents and all the wives got cashmere sweaters. And we got into a little legal trouble over our goose hunt sessions, so we had to close down our hunting lodge for a while because it was prior to the competitive action to earn the Skylab and probably it helped us win because we would take those people on goose hunts, including some of the executives from Washington, whatever it took to win. “I loved the job. I enjoyed working with the men. And still do more than women. I’ve always thought that men were more pleasurable to be on a business level with than women. And that’s probably my age because when I started out in the working world all the bosses were men. And that’s what I was accustomed to. And I preferred my own father over my mother and sister. So that’s probably in my blood.” These days, Hayes is most visible as a columnist for The Dadeville Record and as the behind-

Program. Kendrick said work on Coven Abbett is virtually complete, with the only a few punch list items remaining. The idea was to get that road done first due to the heavy use the road gets with visitors to Wind Creek State Park. ATRIP projects are funded with 80 percent of the funding coming from the state and 20 percent being matched by the city. Gary Ingram Grading and Paving of Dadeville handled all the work on those three projects. ATRIP will also fund paving Washington and Lee streets, but, even though they are due to be awarded in September, work there will likely fall into the 2016 schedule. Also being completed is the first Alexander City Road Improvement Project, which is being funded by the half-cent sales tax that was adopted by the Alexander City Council last year. Ingram completed laying asphalt last month on Church Street, Lee Street, the roundabout, North Main and South Main streets and Thursday crews were back in town installing reflectors on the asphalt surface. Some final striping is all that will remain downtown.

“serial meetings,” which happen when members of a board or committee meet in pairs or small groups to decide matters that later come before the full board or committee for an official decision, removing the deliberative process from the public eye. Tuggle said that one of his reasons for voting no on the changes was the ambiguous definition of “serial meeting.” “It didn’t clearly spell that term out,” Tuggle said. “I think we’ll see that down the road.”

the-scenes, do-it-all lady of the Dadeville Kiwanis Club. She says her preference for working with men is responsible for that, too. “The reason I joined the Kiwanis Club when I first came here is because, everybody invited me to their clubs, and so I went to a thing called the Worthwhile Club and it’s an all female club and their names were Mrs. John Blue, Mrs. Walter Hayes,” Hayes said. “And they said, ‘Come and join us. We’d love to have you,’ and I said no. Now my mother and grandmother were members of that club. I have seven generations buried here and I lived here third and fourth grades only. But when I went to the Worthwhile Club meeting one time, they asked me to join and I said, ‘No, thank you.’ And they asked why and I said because I don’t really care for large groups of women and I have a first name and it’s Betty, it’s not Mrs. Robert.”

The older I get, the smarter Dad was Drugs are still a I Opinion

problem here

L

et’s be clear: Tallapoosa County still has a drug problem. That was never made more evident than the front page of our Thursday newspaper, which featured stories on the discovery of a marijuana crop on Barrett Road and the release of toxicology test results that showed the Dec. 27, 2014 death of Alexander City three-yearold Bentley Cole Missildine was due to methadone toxicity. These two stories are merely the latest that shine an ugly light on our county and its struggle with drugs. Fortunately, when such stories make the front page of our newspaper it means that law enforcement has won another victory in that struggle. And we certainly owe a debt of thanks to our local, county and state officials for fighting the good fight against the dangers of drugs and, in many cases, winning. Still, we have to wonder if those that are caught are merely the tip of an iceberg of illegal drug activity in our county. But we’d rather believe that their arrests cause others to wonder if they are possibly next and, just maybe, tire of the angst and worry that must come with trading in illegal drugs. But there is a silver lining. One entity that isn’t ignoring this scourge is our local school board, which, on Tuesday, adopted a program of random drug testing for those students who have Benjamin Russell High School parking permits or are active in certain extracurricular activities. So kudos to the Alex City School Board. And thank you to law enforcement for continuing the fight against these substances that so often knock individuals from the track to success.

laration. “Dad, I want to do it myself just in case I have to do it again,” she said. But she would need guidance other than the YouTube video she had loaded on her phone, wouldn’t she? “That’s fine, but let me do the first side and you watch and then you will know what to do on the other side, sound good?” We jacked up the truck, with me making sure it was properly checked to avoid roll, and tore into the job. With speed that would have made Jimmy Johnson’s pit crew jealous we rolled through a task that would have made a normal man pick up the Yellow Pages and beg for help. I found myself explaining the finer points of shade tree mechanics – how you lay the parts you take off in order to make sure you put them on the same way, starting the lugs, using torque over tension and the merits of WD-40. I think Roy really hit when we finished one side and went to the other. I looked at her with that “What are you waitin’ for?” look that my Dad had mastered. “I already broke the lugs loose, now you be the jackman,” I told Jessica. “Well, if you are waiting on me, you are backing up.” She rolled that floor jack in place, found the flat spot in the frame and sat on the cold concrete floor almost against the truck as she started to pump the handle. I noticed that her legs were under the truck a bit, something that would have gotten a ratchet handle to the back of the head from Dad. “Baby, please get your legs from under that truck,” I said in my best Roy Sneed tone. “If that jack were to slip it would cut

your legs clean off.” Yes, I said clean off, whatever that means. It was the same exact words and in high-pitched “I’m about to slap you” snarl. It was almost like he was inside me and while my mouth was moving, he was doing the talking. After a two-minute back-andforth about why she was certain it wouldn’t fall on her if it did slip and why I was sure that it would, she pulled her own Roy Sneed card on me. “Ever what,” Jessica said, pulling one of Dad’s trademark lines. “You sound just like Granddad.” “Good, I will take that as a compliment,” I said. “Now move your legs, please.” Just like I did when I was working with Dad back then, she moved her legs, just like I always did what he said, because deep down I knew he was only looking out for me. We finished up and after a successful test drive we cleaned up and I said the same thing that my Dad said to me after every project that we tackled together. “You think you can do it the next time?” I said. “You know, I’m not going to be around forever.” But when Dad said those words, that might have been the only time he was ever wrong. As she went to her room and I sat in my recliner I realized that Dad will always be around. He made sure of that by giving me the special gift. The gift was wrapped in those times we spent together – where I learned from his example. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t thank God for that remarkable man who helped shape me into who I am today. I just hope that in addition to saying the things he said, people remember me as half the man he was when I’m gone.

Obama has built his American dream: a dependent welfare state

Know Your

Officials

Communication with elected officials is the key to good government. To let your most local representatives know how you feel about state or local matters, contact any of the following. Governor Robert Bentley represents the state of Alabama and its 67 counties. He was elected to office on Nov. 2, 2010, and can be reached at 334-242-7100. His office is located at the State Capitol at 600 Dexter Avenue, Montgomery, Alabama.

t has become apparent to me that with age — through no effort and plan of my own — certain things just happen. I have found that things like hair growing in places we wish it wouldn’t, the hair on your head turning gray or turning loose, joint pain and the ability to sleep in a recliner and still hear every word of a television show are things that have just become part of who I am at the ripe old age of 54. But last night I realized something else that time has delivered. Father Time has made me aware that with each passing day my father, even after his death, becomes smarter. I also now believe that, slowly, time actually starts to transform you into your father – if you are lucky. How did I come to realize that? It was as simple as a late night brake job in the garage with my daughter Jessica a few years back. My daughter found the brakes on her truck sounding like fingernails on a chalkboard at 7:30 at night. After a phone call, she decided that we had to fix it that night and she would pick up the parts herself. It seemed late to start a brake job. Now, Roy Sneed would have said, “we’ll just have to get up before breakfast and get it done.” But I figured, why fight it? She rolled in just before 10 p.m. and we changed clothes and got set to tackle “Front Disc Brake Pad Exchange 101.” It was at that moment where Roy Sneed apparently took over my body and mind. I pulled out tools, walked her through a parts inventory and made sure we had all the tools we needed. When it became apparent that we didn’t, we went to Walmart and bought the specialized wrench that “these companies use these days to make you bring it back to a dealership so they can keep making money off of you.” Those were his words, not mine. They just came out of my mouth. Back home, she made a dec-

T

he “wars” on poverty, drugs and terrorism have failed. The goals are noble on the surface, but they have been used —with scant results — to tax us more, employ more government workers, and expand the power of Washington. All three “wars” have benefitted only one group of people: the D.C. political class. If we had every penny back that we spent on these fake “wars,” the country would be better off and there would be no federal deficit. If you now self-identify as “poor” and “aggrieved,” you get money to sit at home. Recent data from the Senate Budget Committee tells the real story of how out-of-control our supposed “War on Poverty” has become. According to the latest census, about 17 million American families’ income falls below the poverty line. Counting all federal and state spending on welfare, food stamps, healthcare, housing, Obamaphones and other handouts intended to buy their votes, we spend $61,000 per year on each household under the poverty line. Of course they do not get all of that $61K. The greasy hands of our government take and waste a lot of it before it gets to the supposedly needy. There are currently 80 federal “poverty” programs, none of which coordinate, nor care to, with the others. We spend more than $1 trillion per year on all of these duplicitous programs full of crony appointees and makework jobs for bureaucrats and their families, many in union jobs from which they cannot be fired. Spending on such programs is up 32 percent since Obama took office. The recession ended shortly after Obama took office, around June of 2009.

RON HART Guest Columnist

In a recovering economy, it is unprecedented how much government entitlement spending has grown. It’s no longer need, it’s greed. We know it as the dependency welfare state. Thanks to Obama, 47 million now receive EBT/food stamps. The USDA markets this program, often in Spanish, to encourage dependency. To Obama this isn’t welfare, it’s voter outreach. The Department of Health and Human Services was forced to admit that it sent checks for a total of $30 million to Medicaid recipients who were dead. These dead people are important to Democrats, as they will represent a large voting bloc in the 2016 presidential race. Why not at least give the $61,000 directly to the folks in poverty? Then they would spend the money in the real economy, thus stimulating it. Get government out of the way and let the free market work its miracles. Nancy Pelosi famously said she was going to “drain the swamp” in D.C. to clean up government. Of course, she never did it; she just inserted her own swamp rats. If you drain the D.C. swamp, what’s left are just snakes and leeches. Pelosi’s daughter produced a scathing documentary on how many welfare recipients are actually not looking for work and say they are “entitled” to scam the system. Her findings run contrary to what Pelosi and her Democrats did in Congress for years. It is a warning to all liberal Democrats about what

can happen when your film major daughter cannot find a real job in the Obama economy. Bill Clinton shelters money in his foundation. John Kerry moves his yacht to another state to avoid taxes. Liberals are all for social justice until someone tries to take their money. Poor people in our country have it better than the middle class in 90 percent of the world. Our “poor” are overweight, have smart phones and get angry when they are not taken care of by those of us who work and pay taxes. On the bright side, many are too fat to riot these days. Most Americans would not mind helping the poor, but for them to view us as the villains here makes this relationship unsustainable. Immigrants now come to America to pursue the new American dream: food stamps, Section 8 housing, governmentfunded healthcare and disability payments. And if you can sue someone and win a jury verdict, even better. The Boston Herald reported that the Tsarnaev brothers’ family received more than $100,000 in EBT cards, government housing support, college grants and welfare cash during their short stay in America. Like many of our home-grown moochers, they felt no shame in taking from America. Then the brothers bombed, maimed and killed innocent people at the Boston Marathon. If I were prosecuting the case, I would name three more accomplices to their crime: our immigration system, political correctness, and our welfare system.

Horoscope

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS ARIES (March 21-April 19) --You simply can’t make a bad choice, as all possibilities seem very desirable. You must look past the obvious when dealing with a loved one; this person is really making an effort to connect with you. A loved one’s imagination delights you. Tonight: Let it all hang out. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --Play it low-key, and stay close to home. Should you need to work, try doing so from home, or consider taking a half-day off. Luxuriating and enjoying yourself ¿ts your mood. Tonight: You are likely to invite some friends over to enjoy an easy, relaxed evening. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --Say what you want, and then do what you want. Others will be unusually receptive to your ideas and how you express yourself. Maintain a sense of humor. Be aware of the cost of a particular decision, both ¿nancially and emotionally. Tonight: As you like it. CANCER (June 21-July 22) --You will be more in touch with your feelings than you have been in a long time. Honor a change in what goes on around you. You seem to be much more lighthearted these days. Know that an idea you want to follow through on could be costly. Tonight: Make it OK to be treated. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --You’ll be a receptive ear to a partner or friend. You like sharing and giving feedback with this particular person. Your conversations lead to many different ideas. Let your imagination Àow, and you might be surprised by what occurs. Tonight: Beam in what you want. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --You might not have as much say as you would like, so you’ll become more of an observer. Don’t think that your silence is not noticed -- someone is likely to try to draw you out in a discussion. You will be shocked by a loved one’s ideas. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) --You might feel as if nothing can stop you, but you still will need to rethink a situation. Be more forthright about your feelings toward a loved one. This person will appreciate your openness, as it allows him or her to get past a self-imposed restriction. Tonight: Have fun! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) --Stay on top of an important situation. You could be exhausted and looking for a way to shorten your time spent dealing with a problem. Your creativity will Âżnd the right path once again. Beware of a boss or higher-up who is observing you! Tonight: As easy as it gets. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) --You might be overwhelmed by all the chatter around you and by the questions directed at you. Try to handle what you can, and postpone personal conversations for the weekend. Understand what is needed to satisfy a family member. Tonight: Try a new spot for TGIF! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --Deal with a loved one directly. You’ll Âżnd discussions to be far more rewarding when they are done on a one-on-one level. You could be confused by what you hear, but once you sort through everything you have heard, you can’t help but smile. Tonight: With a favorite person. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) --Though the attention might be focused on a loved one or a dear friend, you’ll enjoy being less visible for now. Your creativity mixed with your whimsical nature is likely to impress many people. Stay calm, even if others seem uptight. Tonight: Say “yesâ€? to an invitation. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) --You could be overwhelmed by the many ideas that keep popping into your head. Listen to someone who seems to have the gift of gab. You might not want to play a part in this person’s suggestions, as your thoughts probably are elsewhere.

SUMMER LEAGUE Wildcats find bright spots, learn weaknesses in play date By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

The Benjamin Russell Wildcats boys’ basketball team got an early jump on preparing for the 2015 season with the help of teams from around the state. The Wildcats hosted Shelby County, Winterboro, Childersburg, Jeff Davis and Eufaula high schools at the BRHS Gymnasium Thursday for a play date, as each team played three exhibition contests. With a young team expected to take the floor for the Wildcats in 2015, BRHS Coach Jeff Hines said Benjamin Russell’s inexperience showed in some spots, but the team also displayed stretches of good play. “I think it’s been an interesting day. It’s about what I expected, but we are doing some things offensively a lot better than I thought we’d be doing at this time of year,” Hines said. “In the first game against Childersburg we had a 13-point lead with probably five minutes left and we let it slip away because we had some breakdowns defensively, which are fixable.” After a slow start in their second game of the day against Eufaula, Hines said the Wildcats showed great improvement after trailing 27-12 in the first half to come back and outscore Eufaula 35-28 in the second half of the contest. “I thought in the first half of our second game against Eufaula it was a typical not very experienced basketball team on the floor for us,” Hines said. “There was a lot of individualism going on in the first half, which resulted in us only scoring 12 points. Then, we talked about it because now is not the time you blast them if they’re doing something wrong – you teach them right now. Then, we got back into our offensive sets and started finding the open man and scored 35 points in the second half.” But in spite of their flashes of youth, Hines said the Wildcats are not going to use it as an excuse, as he expects them to show improvement once the season rolls around. “The way I look at it is it’s typical of an inexperienced team to give up a 13-point lead and then play so poorly in one half but turn around and really play some pretty good basketball in the second half,” Hines said. “But it’s like I told our guys, we’re not using our inexperience as an excuse or a crutch because when Oct. 15 rolls around there won’t be anymore inexperience. It’ll either be you’re not buying in or you are buying in and it will be reflected in your playing time.” One area in particular Hines said he wants to see improvement in is ball control. He said turnovers are a fact of life in the fast-paced system the Wildcats employ, but as the second half turnaround against Eufaula showed, they do not have to be as numerous. “I was very disappointed in the way we handled the ball in the first half of the second game. Coach (Lewis) Daniels and I figured we probably had somewhere between 15 and 18 turnovers in that half,” Hines said. “Over half of those were unforced errors. But in the second half, Coach Daniels said he had it somewhere around six turnovers, which is a lot better. We’re going to play fast and we’re going to play press, so turnovers are going to be there.”

Briefs Dixie Sailing Club to host intro to sailing course on Saturday

Robert Hudson / The Outlook

Benjamin Russell’s Tyre Gray goes for a layup during Thursday’s exhibition game against Eufaula.

A big strength for the Wildcats during the play date was also their full-court press defense. Hines said they will have to improve on their rotation and traps, but the Wildcats will quickly learn that good defense produces easy offense. “They sped us up in the first half and we were throwing it everywhere, and then we settled down in the second half and sped them up and they started throwing it everywhere,” Hines said. “Our guys need to understand the execution of our press is going to determine a lot of how we do on the offensive end. If we can execute our press and feed off what we’re doing with our press and reward ourselves with buckets, we’re going to be a halfway-decent team. But all of

that requires playing extremely hard and being in the right place at the right time.” Hines added he is excited about this year’s team and new B-Team Coach Daniels and freshman team Coach Shannon Benefield. “I’m proud of our guys, though. I like this team and I like the dynamics of this team. We’ve got some kids that can really shoot the basketball,” Hines said. “All in all, it’s been a pretty good day. We still have a long way to go, but these guys know that and they understand that we have to learn from game-to-game, practice-to-practice. If we do that, when November rolls around, we might not be clicking on all cylinders, but we’ll be a lot better than where we are now.”

The Dixie Sailing Club’s annual Introduction to Sailing will be June 20 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Scheduled activities include: a short course on the basics of sailing, basic introduction to the parts of a sailboat, capsizing and recovery demonstration. Guests will have an opportunity to skipper a small sailboat, go sailing on larger boats with club members. Private tours will be given in and around the new club property on New Hope Church. Lunch and refreshments will be served. Pre-registration is requested but not required. For registration and additional information, please contact Keith Bennett at 334-324-9383 or email at cat221@ msn.com.

Milligan takes job at Beauregard, thankful for time at Dadeville By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

After playing an instrumental role in establishing track and field and volleyball programs at Dadeville High School, Coach Sabrina Milligan is saying goodbye. Milligan has accepted teaching, volleyball and girls track and field coaching positions at Beauregard High School. Milligan was key in establishing the volleyball program in 2000 and the track and field program in 2001 at Dadeville High School, which she coached to three Class 4A state runnerup finishes, a feat they accomplished without their own track at the school. Milligan said the move from Dadeville to Beauregard is bit-

tersweet, but a great opportunity to be closer to where she lives. “Track and field and volleyball were both my babies. I helped get both programs started at Dadeville High School,” Milligan said. “The only place I’ve ever taught is Dadeville High School. I’m so grateful to them for giving me my Milligan teaching experience and molding me into the teacher and coach that I am and as a mentor for the kids. I learned that from being at Dadeville and I hope to transfer that to Beauregard.” Milligan said she has been welcomed with open arms at

Beauregard and added she is blessed to have the opportunity. “I’m doing pretty well. I’ve been blessed with a new opportunity at Beauregard,” Milligan said. “After I talked to the principal in my interview, I had people call from both basketball coaches, softball coaches and they were telling me they’d love to have me aboard. I’ve felt really welcome. I had to make the decision for myself. I’m closer to home.” Above all, Milligan said she will always remember the students at Dadeville, as she has had multiple athletes reach out in the recent weeks to tell her about the impact she was able to have on their lives. “I love Dadeville. The hardest thing about leaving Dadeville for me is actually leaving the

kids. The day I told them I was leaving, it was rough,” Milligan said. “I didn’t even realize how many kids I had a hand in helping get into college. I have clippings that I looked back at of kids signing scholarships and there were almost 40 kids, and athletes have been calling me telling me about it. Between volleyball and helping a couple of kids get tennis scholarships, helping one of our young men get his foot in the door for football, and kids in track and field, I had no clue it was so many kids.” During the end of her tenure at Dadeville, Milligan had been working to gather funding to help the school get its own track. She said she will continue to help that process along and thanked the community and

Dadeville for its support. “Dadeville is my extended family. I’m going to miss everybody over there. We were actually in the process of trying to help get the track over in Dadeville and I’m still going to stay involved in that,” Milligan said. “I love the kids. To me they were making the 30-minute trip back and forth worthwhile. I’m truly going to miss them. Even the principal, Mr. (Chris) Hand, and assistant principal, Miss (Pam) Holloway, they’ve been the longest-tenured principal and assistant principal I’ve had. They always supported me. “I’m really going to miss it, but I think God has presented this opportunity. He closes one door and opens another. It was just a blessing that I couldn’t turn down.”
