Judge OKs condemning property, adding to landfill By JIMMY WIGFIELD Managing Editor

Tallapoosa County Probate Judge Tal East ruled Tuesday the City of Alexander City can condemn 108 acres of property and buy it to expand its landfill on North Central Avenue. The C&D inert landfill — designated to accept mainly cut brush and trees,

discarded furniture, construction and demolition materials — was approaching the end of its usability, according to city public works director Gerard Brewer. With the addition of the 108.83 acres owned by Clay Service Corp. and 40 more acres already purchased from McGill Timber Co., the size of the landfill will increase from 13.3 acres to

162.13, Brewer said. “Condemnation is necessary to extend the life of the landfill and provide cover,” Brewer testified under oath before East in the judge’s chambers of the Tallapoosa County Courthouse in Dadeville. A day before the hearing, Brewer estimated the extra acreage would extend the life of the landfill 40 to 50

years “and that might be on the low side,” he said. After hearing sworn testimony from Brewer and city clerk Amanda Thomas and noting the city has already negotiated a sale price of $152,362 with the owner of Clay Service Corp., East ruled the city could condemn the property and buy it.

Marine superstore ‘progressing well’ Interior being gutted and cleaned; contractor chosen By JIMMY WIGFIELD Managing Editor

R

ussell Marine has begun reshaping an abandoned building into a multi-million-dollar boating superstore it hopes will be the prow of economic development along the U.S. Highway 280 corridor in Alexander City. Workers have been stripping the interior of the former Russell Corp. new No. 1 building which, when finished, will offer 150,000 square feet of retail space on two floors — 75,000 square feet on the ground floor for rigging boats and 75,000 square feet upstairs, with 50,000 of that devoted to selling refurbished boats and 25,000 to a lifestyles and accessories store. “It’s progressing real well,” Russell Marine president Dave Commander said. “We’re close See SUPERSTORE • Page 9

Coosa County chamber finally gets office to itself Members of the Coosa County Chamber of Commerce opened their own door to the public for the first time Tuesday despite being around since 2015. “We have gone without an office,” chamber member Jodi McDade said. “We worked out of the (Coosa County) extension office.” The new office is a third-grade classroom from the old Rockford Elementary School. The chamber also has neighbors in the building including the Coosa County Sheriff’s Department and the Coosa County E911 office. The new-to-if office already has furniture. “We got it from Auburn University surplus,” McDade

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed the state’s first gas tax increase since 1992 into law Tuesday after the bill sailed through both chambers of the legislature during a special session that required only five days. “Every penny that is raised through this new resource will be scrutinized, will be accounted for infrastructure only, period,” Ivey said in remarks made during a ceremony to sign the bill at the State Capitol building. The gas tax, now at 18 cents, will increase 6 cents a gallon after Aug. 31, then 2 cents a gallon on Oct. 1, 2020, and another 2 cents on Oct. 1, 2021. It will also be indexed for inflation and tied to a national highway construction cost index beginning in 2023 which could increase the tax 1 cent every other year. The 10-cent per gallon increase will raise an estimated $320 million a year to fund road construction and maintenance. The Alabama Department of Transportation will get 67 percent of the proceeds, counties 25 percent and cities 8 percent. Overwhelming bipartisan support pushed the bill through the Republican-controlled legislature a week to the day Ivey issued a clarion call for a gas tax increase in her State of the State address, then ordered a special session to focus on it.

Popular keepers collection covers many timeless topics DEAR ABBY: I am writing about your Keepers booklet, the collection of your most popular essays, poems and letters. I would like to purchase a copy, but first, I have a question. Is there a particular favorite of yours in there? -- BIG FAN IN FORT WAYNE, IND. DEAR FAN: My Keepers booklet contains 72 column items that readers have told me they had read and reread until they were yellowed with age and falling apart. This booklet was created because of the high volume of requests from my readers for a collection of these items in one easy-to-use booklet. The subjects are diverse, covering a variety of topics, including parenting, children, aging, animals, forgiveness, etc. One poem in particular has always resonated with me. It is titled “The Time Is Now,” and I find its message both poignant and meaningful. I hope you will agree.

DEAR ABBY Advice THE TIME IS NOW (Author Unknown) If you are ever going to love me, Love me now, while I can know The sweet and tender feelings Which from true affection flow. Love me now While I am living. Do not wait until I’m gone And then have it chiseled in marble, Sweet words on ice-cold stone. If you have tender thoughts of me, Please tell me now. If you wait until I am sleeping,

Never to awaken, There will be death between us b And I won’t hear you then. So, if you love me, even a llittle bit, Let me know it while I am lliving So I can treasure it. Filled with clever observations, my Keepers booklet is both witty and philosophical. It can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $8 (U.S. funds) to Dear Abby Keepers Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married 40

years, are professionals and work together. He is cynical, sarcastic, resentful, dismissive and insulting. What should I do? -- AT WIT’S END IN OREGON DEAR A.W.E.: And you are only writing to me about this NOW? Having tolerated this kind of ill treatment for 40 years, I think the time has come to tune him out, don’t you? Because your relationship may suffer from too much “togetherness,” schedule time away from him -- and the business -- and do something pleasurable on your own whenever you can. And suggest he do the same because he may need a change of pace, too. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Mike Whatley, who according to sworn testimony is the sole owner of Clay Service Corp., was notified of the hearing but did not attend. “I haven’t heard anything from anyone to indicate the city is not within its authority to take this property by eminent domain and use it,” East said. “The city has the right to seize the property and pay fair compensation for it. I grant the city’s petition.” The ruling can be appealed in circuit court, East said. No legal action has ever been taken to stop the landfill from acquiring more property, although it was threatened by lawyers representing some of the residential landowners around the landfill during a public hearing before the Alexander City City Council in June 2017. “People who live nearby are against it,” Brewer testified about the mood at that hearing. Brewer testified part of the condemned property includes a portion that had been planned for inclusion to the Westfield subdivision but said it contains no development. “It has a rural appearance,” Brewer said. Brewer testified without the extra property, the landfill could accept material for only another two or three years. “We did a study in 2016,” Brewer said. “First, common sense — how fast it’s filling up. Then we went out and surveyed the existing elevation and where it would finish and looked at the current rate in (of debris). (The Alabama Department of Environmental Management) would accept the calculation method we used. We need that property.” Upon further questioning by Alexander

Jimmy Wigfield / The Outlook

Above: Tallapoosa County Probate Judge Tal East, left, and City of Alexander City attorney Larkin Radney complete paperwork Tuesday after East ruled Alexander City could condemn property owned by Clay Services Corp. The city has agreed to buy the property and add it to the city landfill. Three large pine trunks, top right, and concrete rubble, right, are among the debris at the landfill.

City municipal attorney Larkin Radney, Brewer said the landfill would be closed and ADEM would require the city to cap it with 2 feet of cover if the city could not expand it. The Clay Services Corp. property and the former McGill Timber Co. property are northwest of the current landfill. Brewer testified his research indicated the landfill, formerly a city dump, has been there since at least 1951. “I saw an aerial photo from 1951 that showed it was already there,” Brewer said. “It closed at some point but the city got a permit in 1998 that allowed a C&D landfill to piggyback on the old site.” A C&D inert landfill is designated for construction and demolition debris and inert material such as backyard brush, Brewer testified. It does not allow any hazardous waste, food, liquid waste, dead animals, municipal solid waste or medical waste. Residency in Alex

City or a business license issued by the municipality is required to use the landfill, Brewer testified. “Citizens, local contractors and industrial (sites) use it,” he said. “The inert landfill is a benefit to citizens with brush pickup and you can dispose of swing sets and couches, those type of things.” Brewer testified it makes sense for the city to use the existing property as a C&D landfill because it has a long natural ravine about 150 to 175 feet deep filled with debris. Brewer testified the city has tried to secure two other sites as a landfill — on 200 acres the city owns at Oaktasasi Creek and Knight Road in the county, which the Tallapoosa County Commission twice rejected; and at Cold Creek Road and Highway 22 in the city limits. The city council did not act on that proposal, Brewer said. Brewer testified it would cost the city much more to build a new

landfill or take material to Stone’s Throw Landfill in Tallassee as compared to buying the extra property. “During the permitting process, we did a cost study,” he said. “To keep the same level of service, it would cost $1½ million to construct a new landfill as opposed to $15 million over 20 years to haul it to Stone’s Throw.” The city has a contract to send its household garbage to Stone’s Throw. “A typical load coming into the inert landfill would consist of about 70 percent brush then old furniture like a chest of drawers, a worn-out recliner, old mattresses and sheetrock,” Brewer said after the hearing. “If we had to haul it to Stone’s Throw, it would be about 6 tons a truckload.” The day before the hearing, Brewer said getting permits from ADEM to use the extra land will take another two to three years and push the landfill to its limits. “I’d say it has two or

Feel-Good Care for Kids

three years left if we try our best to slow down things going in there,” he said. “If we had a tornado or a hurricane or some sort of event like that, it could be over in a matter of months.” Once approved,

Brewer said the city would not use the Clay Services Corp. property first. “We’ll use the McGill property first,” he said. “We might use the Clay property to pull cover from.”

T

he City of Alexander City seems to have solved a problem that has been bubbling for several years by getting permission to expand the size of its inert landfill on North Central Avenue. The landfill, which is designed to accept non-offensive materials instead of smelly and even hazardous garbage, would be closed and capped if it didn’t acquire more territory. On Tuesday, Tallapoosa County Probate Judge Tal East ruled the city could do just that and condemn 108.83 acres belonging to Clay Services Corp. The city has already reached an agreement with the property owner to buy the land at $1,400 per acre. The property was originally planned as part of the Westfield subdivision but was never developed. Two years ago, property owners around the landfill said they objected to making it bigger but no legal action has ever been taken to stop the project and it’s doubtful now it would succeed even if attempted. Alexander City public works director Gerard Brewer said adding property makes the most sense financially. It would cost $1.5 million to build a new landfill or $15 million over 20 years to have the material trucked to the Stone’s Throw landfill in Tallassee. Instead, the city will spend $152,362 to buy the Clay Services Corp. land and stretch its usable life out to 50 years, Brewer said. The city has also tried and failed to get approval to establish an inert landfill at two other sites, one in the city limits and one in the county, so it seems this decision is the best for all concerned. It will still take two to three years to get the Alabama Department of Environmental Management’s final approval for the city to use the extra property as part of the landfill but at least the city won’t face the crisis of closing it.

Daily Poll Tuesday’s question: With the closing of Carlisle’s, have you shopped its clearance sale or eaten there one last time?

Gas tax increase will draw federal funds too

G

ov. Kay Ivey made infrastructure improvement in the state her cornerstone issue for this year and more importantly for her term as governor. Within less than three months in office she and the legislature have successfully accomplished this mission. Last Friday the Alabama House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed monumental legislation on an 84-20 vote. It was a remarkable victory for Ivey and the House leadership. It was a bipartisan coalition of support. Only 18 of the 77 Republicans voted against the bills and only two of the 28 Democrats voted no. It passed the Senate just as easily and was sent to the governor for her signature on Tuesday. The leaders in the House were the sponsor, Rep. Bill Poole (R-Tuscaloosa), Speaker Mac McCutcheon (R-Madison), Rep. Steve Clouse (R-Ozark) and Rep. Anthony Daniels (D-Huntsville). The Senate leaders are Sen. Clyde Chambliss (R-Prattville), who is the Senate sponsor, Sen. Del Marsh (R-Anniston), Sen. Jabo Waggoner (R-Vestavia), Sen. Bobby Singleton (D-Greensboro) and Sen. Greg Reed (R-Jasper). These legislative leaders, along with Ivey, threw down the gauntlet and clearly dug in to make this infrastructure initiative their No. 1 priority. These leaders recognized the need to improve our roads and bridges and the longterm economic expansion of our state. They are truly thinking about the next generation, not the next election. Huntsville is projected to grow faster than any city in America over the next decade. The job

STEVE FLOWERS Columnistt growth will continue to be in high-paying, high-tech jobs. The new ToyotaMazda plant there will be the largest in the world. They were promised roads and highways as part of their incentive to locate in north Alabama. Our port city, Mobile, could be as large as Houston, Texas, but our Mobile docks are outdated and need widening and deepening, as well as proper facilities built to handle large vessels and transport barges. It is geographically better located than Houston or New Orleans. If the port was deepened and widened, it could accommodate exponentially more cargo ships. Currently it is too small and shallow for the Mercedes vehicles manufactured in Tuscaloosa to be shipped out of our Alabama port. The primary reason the legislature needed to act now is because there is more than likely a federal infrastructure program on the horizon. If we are to participate in garnering federal funds, we undoubtedly will have to have state revenues to match and draw down the federal funds. Twenty-eight states have already raised their fuel tax to match the anticipated federal money. Let me tell you a little secret — ain’t any of those 28 states going to get to the federal trough ahead of us. None of them have the chairman of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee. Our senior senator,

Richard Shelby, chairs the appropriations committee. He writes the federal budget, therefore he controls the federal checkbook. If we become the 29 th state to get the ability to match federal funds, we don’t become the 29 th state in line. We move to No. 1 on the list. Alabama has a treasure in Sen. Shelby. He has not only been the longestserving U.S. Senator in Alabama history, he is also the most powerful U.S. Senator in Alabama history. His prowess and adroitness at bringing home the bacon to Alabama is legendary. In my book, “Six Decades of Colorful Alabama Political Stories,” I have a chapter where I discuss our state’s three greatest U.S. Senators. My suggestion was Lister Hill, John Sparkman and Shelby. Hill and Sparkman were powerful and left a legacy, Hill in medical research and rural hospitals throughout the nation and Alabama. Sparkman was the father of the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville and delivered hallmark legislation that afforded housing for Americans as chairman of the Banking Committee. Shelby over his 32-plus years in the Senate has chaired the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, Intelligence Committee and Rules Committee. However, his current perch as chairman of the Appropriations Committee is unparalleled.

The Outlook

Americans always help out in a crisis

W

hat weather changes we’ve had in the past 10 days, from freezing to warmer, a little rain and lots of humidity. We have been teased and now I am ready for real spring and summer, when one can depend on it being sunny and hot every day, even if we get some rain. At least we dodged the serious weather. Tornado warnings are scary things and tornadoes themselves are worse. Thank goodness for the help from others to help Lee County, including a large sum from The Poarch Band of Creek Indians to help neighbors with necessary items after so many lost all they had. One thing must be said

about America — when there is a crisis, the people respond in force with whatever is needed, with new goods and money to help. Today is Deborah Griffith’s birthday and March 17 is Johnnie Hayes’; both ladies are from Kellyton. We took some recyclable things to Wetumpka on Friday and items to donate at the Humane Shelter Thrift Shop. We also purchased a ticket for the chance to win $10,000 at the drawdown Friday at Wind Creek’s Entertainment Center. Extra proceeds go to support the shelter. Accidents can happen when you least expect them and we have to be alert constantly. My new friend Rosa Sallas and husband Harry have a sweet dog called Bugger

ROSIE MORGAN Columnist and late Saturday afternoon Bugger was accidentally hit by a police car around his home in Rockford. The poor thing had to be rushed to the emergency vet in Opelika. Bugger has two pelvic fractures but with good care and the love of his owners he should recover in about four weeks. Dogs are so resilient. Some dogs are too smart for their own good. Our black dog Gus, who looks like a tiny pincher, has learned how to sneak into the kitchen when Ron goes for a drink.

Gus stays behind quietly in the dark and gets into the kitchen trash under the sink. After cleaning up after him many times and his eating things he should not have, I put a thick, tight rubber band on the knob handles where they meet to keep the cupboard tightly closed. Ron asked, “Could you put a bell on him?” so I did and it clangs softly on his rabies tag. But Ron’s hearing is not so good and Gus silently waits. After all, how big a bell can I put on a 10-pound dog? The other day I cooked some grilled chicken breast bones for the base of the dog’s stew and finished with fresh veggies and rice. I removed the bones, taking off any bits of chicken on them,

put the bones in a ziplock bag and into the kitchen trash, which was virtually empty. That evening, Gus sneaked in with Ron, opened the next cabinet down from the sink and pulled over the trash can until he could get those chicken bones. I never let my dogs have those as they splinter but you never know how far a dog will go when it involves food. Here’s a thought to remember: A family is a little world created by love. Until next week, keep smiling. Rosie Morgan is a community columnist for The Outlook. She is a resident of Nixburg and writes about the events and people of Equality and Nixburg.

“We have members outside Coosa County,” McDade said. “Residents of Coosa County shop beyond the boundaries of the county and those members recognize that.” With a new office, the chamber hopes to contin-

ue to host more activities to help its members. “We hope to start having some meetings in here,” McDade said. “We also want to have seminars and after-hours events.” The Coosa County Chamber of Commerce

hopes to continue its success. “We want to keep growing,” McDade said. “We are a group of volunteers who want to keep plugging along and improving things for our members and Coosa County.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Curb a tendency to be reactive in dealing with unanticipated events. Know that you can deal with them. Make it your mantra. You could turn a seemingly negative situation into a winner. A friend might confuse you with many ideas and his or her own style. Instead, let this person inspire you. Tonight: Out. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Emotions run high. You look around and see that the world is your oyster. An unusual realization could be signiĂ„cant. Your professional style could be inspiring others to a new level. Tonight: If you can dream it, you can make it real. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could feel out of sync with others. Make it OK to seek out more privacy than you have in the recent past. Know that what you’re experiencing is just a passage, and this mood soon will dissolve into a very upbeat period. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Aim for what you want and would like to expect! Friends surround and give you support that’s laden with suggestions. Be gracious; do listen, but feel free to follow your chosen path. Schedule some personal time. Tonight: Surrounded by a crowd. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Stay on top of a project. Be willing to discuss it with a higher up. Confusion surrounds you. Minimize the impact of impending chaos by conĂ„rming meeting times and places. You feel the best around the home front.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Relate on a one-on-one level. Make time for a signiĂ„cant person in your life. You gain from his or her perspective and ability to bypass a problem. Your caring soars to a new level if you are open to growth and closeness with this person. Tonight: Togetherness. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others express a positive outlook and are full of enthusiasm. You might Ă„nd that others beat you to the punch, although you are assertive. Sort through news, calls and suggestions. You will feel most relaxed at home with a loved one. Tonight: Stay put! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your ability to state your case and express your needs draws you to the forefront. You might be dealing with several issues simultaneously and clearing out as much work as possible. You could be unusually quick in your responses. Tonight: OɈ to get some exercise. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your playfulness draws many people whose inner child is also close to the surface. Understand what is happening around a Ă„nancial matter. You might not have as much control as it seems. Check the facts and Ă„gures. Tonight: Hang with a fun friend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A level of inner tension develops around a fundamental matter. You might want to clear the air about an issue in your personal life and/or reconsider the possibility of working from home. Caring abounds. Tonight: Make it simple. Order in.

to finishing all the cleanup. We’re in the process of starting inside, doing sandblasting to clean the inside and the ceiling. Then we’ll paint inside and start roof repairs. We’re still working with the architects on the inside drawings.� Commander announced Russell Marine has selected Allan Cutts as the manager of the superstore and AAA Contractors of Alex City as the general contractor of the project. Cutts worked for Russell Corp. for 30 years in distribution and customer service, Commander said. Russell Marine officials project the superstore will be fully open by the 2020 spring selling season. “We’re still saying we’re on track to hopefully in the latter part of the year have parts of it completed,� Commander said. Drivers passing the site on Highway 280 have seen debris from the interior piled up and hauled away. “The next big step will be to start the buildout of the inside,� Commander said. “We need plumbing and electricity in that building. The outside work should start in about three months — that’s a guesstimate.� Russell Lands, which owns Russell Marine, announced in January it would build the marine superstore, which represents a $10 million investment in Alex City by the city, Tallapoosa County and Russell Lands, according to Russell Lands CEO Tom Lamberth. “It could be the anchor (of Highway 280 development),� Lamberth said in January. “It’s going to be a destination facility. It will be first class. If we’re successful, it will send a message to a lot of retailers to come to Alex City.� Commander said the project is building positive momentum. “We’re getting real good feedback from the community and our vendors,� he said. About 20 jobs would be created and/ or transferred from Russell Marine’s Ridge Marina in Elmore County, according to Commander. A 2018 study done by Robert Charles Lesser & Co. (RCLCO) real estate advisors said 1,000 people are directly employed due to development on Lake Martin. Russell Marine wants its superstore to capture a fortune in revenue from the lake market being spent outside of Tallapoosa County. In January, Lamberth said the RCLCO study showed Lake Martin residents, including those living there part time, produce retail demand of $200 million a year.

The same RCLCO study showed sales leakage of $149 million annually outside of Tallapoosa, Coosa and Elmore counties. “Strategically, that’s a huge opportunity,� Lamberth said in January. “Putting that superstore in gives us (Russell Marine), the city and the county a chance to capture some of that lost revenue. And from there, who knows where this will go? If we succeed, it could attract more retail business.� Commander said he expects the superstore’s clientele will be nationwide. “A lot of people would be coming to Alex City,� he said. “We would advertise nationally.� In fact, Boating Industry magazine named Russell Marine the best in its class nationally in marketing and the No. 3 marine dealer in North America in 2018. The new rigging operation — which would include the installation of engines, electronics and tops on new and refurbished boats — is using valuable storage space at Ridge Marina, one of Russell Marine’s four marinas on Lake Martin. Commander said 600 boats are stored at Ridge Marina. “We knew someday we’d run out of capacity for storage and we have to have that,� Lamberth said. “The rigging can be done anywhere. We sell over 500 boats a year new and used. Most of the time we take boats in trade and we were way undersized. To sell boats, we’ve got to offer storage and take trades.� The city and Russell Lands agreed to some trades in January when the Alexander City City Council approved an abatement of non-educational ad-valorem taxes to help Russell Lands pay for the project. Those abatements will qualify if the state considers rigging as manufacturing. In the first five years of its agreement with Alex City, Russell Marine will get two-thirds of the sales tax revenue generated by the business and the city will get a third. Under that agreement, according to projections from Russell Marine and the city, Russell Marine would get approximately $469,827 and the city $234,913. Beginning in the sixth year of the agreement, Russell Marine and the city would evenly split the sales tax revenue. The split would be capped at $1.5 million or at the end of 15 years. “The tax abatements are worth it to get the site cleaned up,� said Alex City Mayor Jim Nabors, who predicted the superstore would have a “wow� factor.

Auburn has great draw in SEC tourney

T

he Auburn Tigers wrapped up the regular-season on Saturday with a thrilling victory over the No. 5 Tennessee Volunteers 84-80 in front of a soldout crowd at Auburn Arena. The game was played at an extremely high level by both teams and was one of the best wins for the Tiger program in the last 50 years. I’m not exaggerating. Bruce Pearl has been a perfect fit on the Plains and is in the process of building a quality program capable of sustained success. It hasn’t always been pretty and certainly hasn’t been easy, but back-to-back seasons of at least 20 wins are proof all the hard work is paying off. Last year, AU finished the regular-season 25-6 and won the SEC regular-season title but limped in to the postseason figuratively and literally with several players banged up. That resulted in a first-round ouster of the SEC tournament and a second-round departure from the NCAA tournament. This year, the Tigers finished the regular season 22-9, but appear to be peaking at the right time and are healthy with the exception of Austin Wiley. Perhaps, that will translate into greater postseason success. It all starts Thursday with the SEC tournament. Auburn doesn’t exactly have an illustrious history when it comes to the conference tournament. In fact, the Tigers have only one SEC tournament championship. They defeated Alabama 53-49 in overtime in 1985. Auburn was the runner-up to Kentucky in 1984 and to Arkansas in 2000. Oddly enough, the 1985 season was considered a disappointment with the Tigers going 8-10 in conference play. Sonny Smith was set to “retire” at the end of the year, but Auburn went on a run, winning the SEC tournament and making it to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament. Smith kept his job and led the Tigers to the Elite 8 the following year. To be honest, Auburn couldn’t have asked for a better draw in 2019. After a first-round bye, the Tigers will face the winner of Georgia and Missouri. They beat Mizzou by 34 points earlier this season and have already beaten the Bulldogs twice. A first-round victory would set up a rematch with South Carolina who barely edged the Tigers 80-77 in Columbia. The Gamecocks are definitely the most desirable opponent considering the other top seeds of LSU, Kentucky and Tennessee. Auburn is now projected to be a No. 5 seed in the Big Dance. I suppose the Tigers could possibly move up to a No. 4 seed if they won the SEC tournament, but their position is unlikely to change otherwise. This is probably where we normally cue the argument about the uselessness of conference tournaments, but that’s an argument for another day. Of course, somewhere Luke Robinson is ranting and raving about some undeserving team winning their conference tournament and stealing a spot in the big tournament from some bubble team (usually Alabama). If it’s not that, it’s whining about there being entirely too many teams in the tournament making it a watereddown product. Geez, enough Luke! Who asked you? It would be great to see Auburn win the SEC tournament or make a deep run in the NCAA tournament, but either way, the program is in better shape now than it has been in a very long time.

FOUR-HIT SHUTOUT Lizi Arbogast / The Outlook

Benjamin Russell’s Cade Brooks threw a four-hit shutout to lead the Wildcats to a 4-0 victory over Sylacauga on Tuesday night.

Brooks leads Wildcats to victory over Sylacauga By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Right from the get-go, Benjamin Russell’s Cade Brooks looked calm, cool and collected on the mound. He fired strikeout after strikeout against the Sylacauga Aggies and was helped along by a few saves from his defense. That was the recipe for success on the baseball diamond Tuesday night, as the Wildcats claimed a 4-0 victory. “I had my curveball today and that’s what was really working for me,” Brooks said. “It was probably the first time I really had it on, and I was throwing first-strike pitches and that helped me a lot.” Brooks immediately got to work, fanning the first Aggie he faced. Although he walked the next, BRHS catcher Wilson Hays had his back, firing a throw to shortstop Brett Pitts to catch Sylacagua’s Jordan Ridgeway attempting a steal. Brooks sat down the next hitter to quickly end the inning. Brooks went to strike out nine and he allowed only four hits. He was working a two-hit shutout into the seventh inning

when Sylacauga finally figured him out. The Aggies got a leadoff single from Andrew Schmidt, but again, Brooks’ defense came in clutch for its pitcher with a double play against the next batter. “I was worried he wasn’t going to get through that last one,” Benjamin Russell coach Richy Brooks said. “That was his highest pitch count, and we’re really trying to protect arms. But he was throwing a shutout, and I wanted him to finish it. I thought he threw really good. He found his breaking ball and had really good velocity.” Trouble wasn’t gone for the Wildcats, as Brooks allowed one final hit and walked a batter. But he induced a popup brought down by second baseman Brooks Vardaman to end the game in victory. “I started getting a little tired and my velocity dropped a little bit,” Brooks said. “But I just had to fight through it. (The defense) helped me a lot. It gives you a lot more confidence on the mound when your defense can make the plays.” Although the Wildcats didn’t have

their best offensive day by any means, they did just enough to ensure the win. They did all their damage in the first inning. After Brooks sent the Aggies back to the dugout in the top of the frame, BRHS’ offense immediately went to work. Nick McGhee had a leadoff single, and Brett Pitts reached base as he was hit by a pitch. Brock Elliott hit a hard groundball, and the Aggies attempted a fielder’s choice, but Pitts slid in under the tag to load the bases with no outs. Sylacauga got one out on the board, but Joe Young then made the Aggies pay with a double to center field, plating a pair of runs. Wilson Hays followed with an RBI groundout before the Wildcats once again got the bases loaded by drawing a pair of walks. Denzel Greene batted into an error that allowed Young to score and gave BRHS a 4-0 lead it never surrendered. “We came out of the box really well, but we had opportunities the whole game to score and we didn’t score,” coach Brooks said. “Thank God we had See WILDCATS • Page 11

Fire started running passion for Christine Davis By GABRIELLE JANSEN Staff Writer

A house fire is the reason National Senior Games wellness ambassador and Alabama resident Christine Davis has a passion for running today. Davis, 71, told the Alexander City Midday Women’s Fellowship at its Tuesday meeting when she was young a fire started in her family’s house and her mother told her to run to a neighbor to get help. Davis, who lives in Prattville, spoke to the group about her profession in assisting the disabled and how caretakers need some time for themselves. Davis said she stopped running after high school and didn’t start again until after her mother died. Davis said she was living in Indianapolis and decided to participate in the Peace Games where her team won the 4x100 relay. Davis said the highlight of her running career was when she participated in track and field events in Melbourne, Australia in 2002. “There were people from all over the world and they were so physically fit,” Davis said. “Out of all of those people over there I came in eighth in the world See DAVIS • Page 11

Panthers outlast Reeltown in slugfest By KAMARRI DARRINGTON For The Outlook

It was a comedy of errors, but Elmore County made the fewest mistakes during Tuesday’s game at Reeltown. Despite allowing four runs on five walks in the final inning, the Panthers did enough offensively to pull out a 16-11 win over the Rebels. Elmore County (7-1) took a 16-7 lead into the final inning, scoring in every frame and holding the advantage from start to finish. “I didn’t think we’d need 12 runs to win, but we were able to wake the bats up today,” Elmore County coach Michael Byrd said. “Our starting pitcher (Zach Nichols) was making his first start on varsity, so I knew that we needed to score. Reeltown is a scrappy bunch, and they fought back hard.” The Panthers’ offense was led by Taylor Henderson, who drove in six runs. Henderson’s two-run triple in the first gave Elmore County a 2-0 lead.

Elmore County scored four more runs in the second, capped off by James Singleton’s two-run single. Singleton finished with three singles and four RBIs. The Panthers added five in the third on four hits and an error. Nichols pitched six innings, allowing seven runs on six hits and two walks with a pair of strikeouts. Henderson finished 2-for-4 and was also hit by a pitch. Trey Beard had three singles and three RBIs. Reeltown never recovered after trailing 6-0 after two defensive innings but battled back with four runs in the second. Parker Hardin hit a two-run triple of his own to cap off the second. The Rebels used three pitchers. Reeltown starter Logan Hunt lasted just 2 1/3 innings, allowing seven runs on five hits with five walks. Will Brooks pitched three innings in relief, allowing eight runs on 10 hits. Robert Clark’s single was the only hit for Reeltown and Elmore County also committed an error in the seventh.

It still wasn’t enough for Reeltown first-year coach Trey Chambers. “We didn’t make the routine plays,” Chambers said. “A lot of those runs were the result of us dropping a lot of balls and not making our throws. We’ve got a lot of work to do if we want to start winning games.” Area play begins next week, but with all the rain that has fallen in the state of Alabama, there hasn’t been a lot of time devoted to practice. It’ll come down to how many game reps each team can get as the season winds down. The 27 runs scored Tuesday was all the indication of the lack of time handling the baseball. “We made some mistakes in that last inning,” Byrd said. “We’ve got to correct those things because we’re not always going to be in games like this, hopefully. We’re heading in the right direction. I feel like we’re gaining our confidence at the plate, and that’s should help us as we look to win some area games.”

Just as the baseball game played between the two schools earlier in the day, the softball nightcap between Elmore County and Reeltown went backand-forth all game long. The Panthers and Rebels were tied heading into the final inning. That’s when the wheels fell off permanently for Reeltown. Aided by three walks and a trio of wild pitches in the seventh inning, Elmore County defeated Reeltown, 11-8, in a matchup of sister head coaches. Each team scored three runs in the first, two runs in the second and three runs in the fifth to set up the dramatic final frame. Eleanor Watts started the Panthers seventh with a walk and advanced on a fielder’s choice by Madelyn Becker. After Kelina Daniels walked, Emerald Britt walked to give Elmore County a 9-8 lead. Maci Curlee followed by drawing another walk then Daniels scored on a wild pitch by Isabella Studdard. Kayla Clements added an RBI off a groundout for the final run. Curlee pitched a complete game, allowing eight runs (five earned) on nine hits with five walks. Curlee had 10 strikeouts and finished with 142 pitches. She also walked twice with two RBIs at the

plate. Elmore County scored its 11 runs off just four hits. Each team committed three errors. “We made a lot of errors in the beginning of the game,” Elmore County coach Kim Moncrief said. “It’s tough to mentally battle back. I’m proud of the girls for being able to do that. They believe in themselves and that’s what we talk about. It means a lot to me as a coach to see them fight like that.” Reeltown was set down in order in the bottom half of the seventh. Karlee Cotten started the game for the Rebels, lasting only an inning and allowed five runs on five walks. Kenzie Hornsby pitched three relief innings, allowing no runs on one hit with three walks. Reeltown pitchers walked 12 batters. Mental toughness was the theme in the postgame huddle for Reeltown coach Kelli Hilyer. Studdard’s two-run triple in the fifth was the gametying hit. Studdard went 2-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout. Marlee Knox had a triple and a stolen base. “We have only five seniors, and the rest are freshmen and sophomores,” Hilyer said. “We’ve got to learn that we can’t give up in these games. We didn’t make the adjustments at the plate. We saw what locations were being called strikes, and we just didn’t hit them.”

Davis continued from Page 10 in the 100 meters. I couldn’t believe it but it happened and that was a good thing.” Davis said she started running in the National Senior Games, a nonprofit that hosts events for people 50 and older. Davis said she ran at events across the country, including California, Texas, Maine and Alaska. “In 2017, I decided, ‘I’m coming back to Alabama and I’m going to run in the Senior Games in Alabama,’” Davis said. Davis said she placed third nationally in the 50 and fourth nationally in the 100. Davis said after that, she was named a wellness ambassador for the National Senior Games where she helps recruit participants. “One thing (the National Senior Games is) concerned about is educating people 50 and older about fitness by getting involved in some level of sports activity,” Davis said. “One concern (for the group) is the leading causes of death… The challenge is for seniors to do two hours and 30 minutes a week of some type of activity.” Davis said she got her 78-yearold sister, Mable, into track and field after taking her to an event. “There were ladies there 100 years old,” Davis said. “My sister said, ‘I can do that.’ I didn’t think she was serious.” Davis said she coached her sister from August through December last year. At Mable’s second race in Birmingham in January, she was named an AllAmerican. “For our age group, we both made All-American,” Davis said. “We all got medals for our competition. She’s so proud of it, and then to top it off, we did another one in Birmingham in February.” Davis said at the February competition, she and her sister were in the same heat of a race and finished third and fourth against college-aged runners. Davis will represent Alabama at the National Senior Games in Albuquerque, New Mexico in June. Davis brought books for the audience about low-impact exercise. “The thing it focuses on are flexibility, strength, endurance and balance to keep you from falling,” Davis said. “You don’t have to run; there are some other exercises in here where you can sit in your chair and raise your leg and do something but trying to be as active as possible.”

that first inning, but they’re a good baseball team. For us, we have to find a way to knock those runs in.” Benjamin Russell totaled six hits and left a total of nine stranded, seven of whom were in scoring position. The Wildcats (9-5) have now won five in a row. “I just think we have more energy,” Cade Brooks said. “We have more energy in the dugout, more energy in the field. I think we’re also just coming together more. We’re playing more as a team.” Coach Brooks said, “I’d rather have that streak than the other streak, but things with high school kids can turn quick. The only one that matters is the next one. That’s what we’re going to focus on.”

Tax The Alabama House passed the bill 84-20 Friday and the Alabama Senate approved it 28-6 earlier Tuesday, sending it to the governor for her signature. Democrats voted for it 26-2 in the House and 6-2 in the Senate. Among legislators in Tallapoosa, Coosa and Elmore counties, only Rep. Mike Holmes (R-Wetumpka) voted no. Voting yes were Sen. Tom Whatley (R-Auburn); Sen. Clyde Chambliss (R-Prattville), who sponsored the bill in the Senate; Rep. Ed Oliver (R-Dadeville); and Rep. Pebblin Warren (D-Tuskegee). Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh (R-Anniston) said dramatically improved funding for infrastructure improvements was needed. “This bill was passed the correct way,” he said in a release. “Over the past year my office alone has held over 30 open meetings with legislators and all interested stakeholders. All voices were heard and nothing was rushed.

continued from Page 1 “Over the last 10 years we have seen unprecedented growth in Alabama. Median income is up 20 percent; unemployment is at an all-time low. We have dramatically reduced the size of state government; we have over 6,000 fewer state employees today than we did eight years ago which equates to a 15 percent reduction. However, in this time, our infrastructure has lagged behind and everyone agreed that something needed to be done.” Marsh said strict oversight of ALDOT will ensure the money is spent as intended. “Because of this, there is no doubt that going forward the money which is supposed to be used for infrastructure will be used for road, bridge and port improvements,” Marsh said. “As a fiscal conservative, it would have been impossible to support any type of revenue measure in the infrastructure package without the oversight and accountability laid out in this bill.

Marsh said he is proud the legislature made a significant move to help future generations. “This infrastructure package will drive industry in Alabama for years to come and ensure that we continue the strong economic growth that we have enjoyed over the past few years by making sure that we are competitive on the world stage when it comes to recruiting jobs,” he said. “It’s going to allow an opportunity for our children and grandchildren to stay in Alabama, find good jobs here (and) earn a good living. So this is about the future of Alabama. It’s a great day for Alabama.” Another $12 million a year will be allocated to a bond issue to widen and deepen the Mobile Ship Channel and boost the Port City’s capacity for cargo traffic; 75 percent of that project will be paid by federal dollars according to Rep. Bill Poole (R-Tuscaloosa), the architect of the bill.
