Radney hopeful a new tenant will be at historic business soon
By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Daneeka Michelle Thompson pleaded guilty Tuesday to firing a shot near children and possibly endangering them. Thompson, 27, of Kellyton was charged with first-degree attempted domestic violence and 10 counts of reckless endangerment in August 2018. Thompson pleaded guilty in front of Fifth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Ray Martin to first-degree attempted assault and the 10 counts of reckless endangerment and filed an application for probation. Assistant district attorney Kevin Hall told the court Thompson had no prior convictions. The recommended sentence for first-degree attempted assault is 60 months; however first-degree assault has sentencing guidelines to provide probation. The attempted assault charge has no law-provided guidelines. Martin allowed Thompson to remain on bond while it is determined if she qualifies for probation. Martin said he would also require Thompson to attend some type of anger management training as part of her sentence. Thompson even took an advertisment out in The Outlook shortly after the incident apologizing. Hall said the state could prove more than the 10 counts of reckless endangerment. “I think there were 26 children on the playground at the daycare,” Hall said. Alexander City police chief Jay Turner said in August Thompson fired a shot in the direction of a city employee who was cutting grass near the city pool and officers recovered a single 9mm shell casing. Children were also on the playground of a nearby daycare resulting in the reckless endangerment charges.

With its limeades and pimento and cheese sandwiches, Carlisle’s has been a mainstay in downtown Alexander City since it was opened in 1914 by Hoyt Carlisle, but Daniel and Lisa Champion announced Friday they are closing the historic business. “We considered the decision from a personal standpoint and we needed to make a change,” Daniel Champion said. “It is a painful decision to make but as you go through life things change.” The Champions have owned Carlisle’s since October 1997 and have run it for the last 21 and half years. The husband and wife team also own Hometown Pharmacy and operated two pharmacies in Carlisle’s and at Hometown up until a few See CARLISLE’S • Page 9

Ex-boyfriend offers woman money to take him back DEAR ABBY: I was involved with a man (“Mike”) I cared deeply about. One day he came to me saying he had a “secret” he needed to share. He explained that he was in love with another woman, and they had decided to get back together. I asked him all the normal questions. He explained as best as he could and apologized. Three weeks later, Mike called me and told me he missed me and thought he had made a mistake. I went over and stayed the night. I didn’t call him after that, but now he’s calling me all the time. Mike is still involved with the woman he broke up with me for. I have asked him repeatedly to leave me alone, but he is now offering me money and promising to pay my bills if I will be involved with him while he’s with this other woman. I need your advice. I could use the help financially, but I don’t want to
DEAR ABBY Advice
get involved with this situation because my feelings are at risk. -- FRAGILE IN FLORIDA DEAR FRAGILE: I wonder if the woman Mike reconciled with has a clue that he is cheating already. He does not care about you or have your best interests at heart. He’s attempting to put your relationship on a cash-on-delivery basis not out of concern for your financial difficulties but because he has no respect for your integrity. How insulting! Although you may need financial help, if you value your self-respect, turn him down. And from now on, block his calls because Mike is bad news. DEAR ABBY: I have
been living with intense grief and depression for a number of years. I have tried every way imaginable to deal with it, to no avail. I am no longer interested in fighting it. I have had suicidal ideation for years but haven’t acted on it because of the pain it would cause my family. Now it appears I have an answer. I have discovered that I have cancer. I have decided to do nothing about it and let it take me. I’m just not sure whether or not to tell my family. I am inclined to say nothing until it’s too late, but I fear this decision will cause them as much pain as if I had died by my own hand. I don’t want to be here, and I don’t think I should have to be simply because others expect it. I don’t have a close relationship with my family anyway, if that has any bearing. We speak infrequently at best. Your thoughts, please? -- DONE WITH IT
DEAR DONE: I am sorry for your despair. You say your only question is whether to tell your family about your diagnosis because of the pain it may cause them, although you are not close and communicate infrequently. If you have truly made up your mind to refuse treatment, I vote for not informing them, which could be construed as trying to put them on a guilt trip. Everyone has a right to make this highly personal decision for themselves, but I hope you will remain in touch with your doctor, which may lessen any physical or psychological suffering you experience during the course of your disease.

Obituaries Obituary for Ann E. Thompson Ann Elizabeth Thompson died peacefully at Bethany House in Auburn, Alabama on March 2, 2019. Ann Thompson was born in Daviston, Alabama to Joe Bunyan and Elizabeth (Graves) Thompson on February 22, 1932, a few minutes after her twin brother Joe B. Thompson, Jr. She earned a B.S. with honors in Home Economics at Auburn University, a Masters of Adult Education at the University of Maryland, and a Doctorate of Education at Oklahoma State University. Ann’s career began with her experiences in 4-H when she showed her calf without a lead or halter at the 1947 State Fair in Birmingham and was named State Showmanship Champion. Ann joined the Alabama Extension Service in 1953 as an Assistant Home Demonstration Agent in Enterprise and Dothan before she moved on to the Florida Extension 4-H Staff in 1957 where she served in various Florida State Extension Home Economics positions. In 1966, Dr. Thompson was appointed State Leader, Home Economics, of the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service and served there as Professor and Director of Family Resources.
Mr. Malcolm Herschel Smith 1941 - 2019
In 1973, Ann became the Associate Dean of the Extension Division in Virginia and later received the Distinguished Ruby Award of Epsilon Sigma Phi. In 1984, after sixteen years in Virginia, Ann Thompson returned to Auburn University to become the first-ever female head of the Alabama Cooperative Extension Service and only the second female director in the nation. In 1988, she was named VicePresident for Extension, and in 1993, Ann was named Associate Provost before she retired from service in 1994. Major accomplishments under Thompson’s administration included the AU Hotel and Conference Center, the AU Satellite Uplink System, and the Alabama 4-H Youth Development Center in Shelby County, a project of which she was “particularly proud.” She was also responsible for the largest number of extra-mural grants in the history of Alabama Extension. Ann believed that everyone should “Use what you can” and “Be Brief.” When asked what 4-H has meant to her life and career, Ann replied, “Everything. I could not have journeyed to where I am today without the concept of life-long learning and without all the co-workers and friends who have brought me such joy.”

Saddened see any business close. “(Carlisle’s is) definitely an asset to downtown and it won’t be the same without them,” Hayney said. Henry Foy, owner of Emporium Wine and Spirits, said other downtown businesses will survive if owners can figure out what to focus on with their stores. “We’re at that point, and we have been at that point for a good while, where the loss of any small business in our historic downtown is a blow and it’s like you’ve been hit in the stomach,” Foy said. “It’s just discomforting.” A long line formed from the Carlisle’s register to the dining area Tuesday. The store started a 50-percent-off clearance sale on all items and customer Mandie Peppers had an assortment of clothing, bags and a wreath in her arms at the checkout line. “I feel kind of guilty taking (advantage of) the half off,” Peppers said. “I feel sad for the kids mainly without being able to come in to the soda fountain after school because it’s been a tradition for all of the kids in Alex City downtown for so many years.” While owners Daniel and Lisa Champion are closing the business, Carlisle’s building co-owner Larkin Radney said residents should not be afraid of the store staying empty for

continued from Page 1 a long period of time. “I’m very saddened the Champions have made this decision but I respect the decision,” Radney said. “We’re just going to move forward and already have many, many contacts who have interest in leasing the store and continue carrying on the deli and the whole store.” Tony Blanco, co-owner of The Coffee Corner, said he is hopeful another business will locate there. “It’s crazy to hear that a business that has been open for so long is suddenly closing and it’s basically a staple of downtown,” Blanco said. “When anybody thinks of downtown, they think of Carlisle’s immediately.” Foy said Carlisle’s closing could be a way for business owners to refocus on how to attract people downtown. “If we want tourists to come downtown, then we need to be acutely aware of what drives tourists to this town and this might be an opportunity to give consideration to that aspect of how we structure our downtown,” Foy said. Radney said after the Champions close the doors on March 30, he hopes to reopen the store as soon as possible. “Rest assured Carlisle’s will open very soon after the Champions leave,” Radney said.

Because Carlisle’s is having a closing sale, the line for the register was long on Tuesday. Everything was 50 percent off. Above: Customers wait to check out. Right: Carlisle’s employee Leanna Easterwood writes down an order. The store will close March 30, while the soda fountain will stop operating March 16.
Wingler told the town council Local Government Health Insurance says the town owes it more than $15,000. The issue has been ongoing for a while and goes back to last century when current councilmember Michael East was a police officer. “I got the first insurance in 1998,” East said. “At the time, we didn’t have but two employees.” The town was looking into insurance options for employees with the issue being previous employees having not filed paperwork declining insurance and stating they had other sources of health insurance. Originally the company said the town owed more than $131,000 in premiums but got the total down after town clerk Shelia Fuller tracked down all but two previous employees and got the proper paperwork. One current employee was using the insurance but said he found insurance elsewhere. Clayton said the town has three options on the issue of paying Local Government Health Insurance $15,462, basically the premiums of the two employees officials were unable to locate. “Pay it, not pay it or inquire about terms for payments (are our options),” Clayton said. “If we don’t pay it, it just sits there as a debt.” By not paying it, the town could be limited from using the company in
continued from Page 1 the future if it wants to offer health insurance, something that has been an issue in recruiting employees in the past. Councilmembers debated either not paying the debt since the town had received no notice it owed the money until recent inquires by the town. Ultimately the council tabled the decision to give Clayton time to try to negotiate a lower amount owed since councilmembers felt the town was not totally at fault in the matter. Councilmember Toby Hanson was absent from Monday’s meeting. In other action the New Site Town Council also: • Approved the installation of a sign with an address and the development of an emergency action plan for the senior center. The move will make first responders better aware of the location of the center and who to call in the event of an incident at the senior center. The moves follow a medical situation with one of the guests at the center where an ambulance had difficulty locating the center. • Approved bids with Vickers Electrical in the amount of $7,150 for the LED Retrofit lighting in the old gym. ADECA is providing 80 percent of the funding. Vickers Electrical was also awarded a bid in the amount of $42,000 for the life safety electrical project in the old gym. It was also discussed the town would not be pur-
chasing the needed supplies as it would require much more paperwork than the realized savings. • Approved amending the budget to upgrade phone plans for the police department and other town employees. The upgraded plans will save money by eliminating overages in the current plan. • Approved a resolution opposing any action by the Alabama Legislature restricting or removing municipal police jurisdictions. • Approved a policies and procedures manual for purchasing. • Blasingame told the council he was rescheduling the work session for discussion on the medical clinic/pharmacy for this month. • Approved ordering 25 more 911 address signs for the community. The town has already sold 45 of 50 previously ordered at $10 each. • Approved ordering a sign to display rules of the town’s storm shelter in the
basement of the fire department at a cost of $97.99. • Approved replacing the flooring in much of town hall at a cost of $10,780 through Holman Flooring, the replacement of counters in the kitchen and bathrooms and paint in the community room. The total cost is less than $14,000 and comes from funds given the town for capital improvements by the state. • Approved the purchase of two new bulletproof vests for the police department at a total cost of $2,598. The current vests have expired. The normal expiration is five years after purchase. • Heard all fire hydrants and water meters were installed and power was still needed to a booster pump on the town’s water project. • Reminded ethics forms are due to the state by April 30. The next meeting of the New Site Town Council is Monday, March 18 at 5 p.m.

O
n Friday, Carlisle’s announced it will close its doors on March 30. The business was opened by Hoyt Carlisle in 1914, and was taken over by Daniel and Lisa Champion in October 1997. Carlisle’s not only sold clothes, houseware and trinkets, it still had a soda fountain and served a variety of sandwiches. It’s hard to see a business that has been around for more than 100 years close and the Champions said closing it was a painful decision. While it is sad to see downtown businesses close, there’s still hope for the Carlisle’s building. The building’s owners are looking for someone to come in and still run a deli and part of the store. Building co-owner Larkin Radney said he’s had multiple contacts about taking over the building, and hopes to have a new business open there not long after the Champions close the doors. The store impacted residents and visitors alike through the decades it stood. Customer Mandie Peppers said she would go to Carlisle’s one or twice a week for lunch. Downtown Girl owner Beth Hayney said Carlisle’s was always an obvious choice for her and friends to get lunch often. On Tuesday, the store was packed with customers at the dining area, getting in a last meal before the soda fountain service closes on March 16. The store was also crowded due to a clearance sale which brought in more customers who want one more chance to buy store merchandise. While the food, clothes and household items will be missed, the building will still stand. There’s still opportunity for a new business and for attracting residents and visitors to downtown. We hope everyone gets a chance to go to Carlisle’s one last time before it closes. We look forward to seeing what will come into the building for a fresh start.

Daily Poll Tuesday’s question: Do you know someone affected by the tornado in Lee County?
Revenues are up as legislature begins work
G
ov. Kay Ivey has been inaugurated and the legislature had its organizational session. Now it’s time for our state officials to get to work. Among the three branches of government — legislative, executive and judicial — the 1901 Alabama Constitution renders the legislative branch as the most powerful. Some who witnessed the George Wallace era may disagree and point to the executive branch but that was a unique era. Gov. Wallace had basically become king of Alabama politics from 1963 through 1986 with a couple of interlopers taking four-year residency in the Governor’s Mansion on Perry Street. They left all of the wheelchair accessibility aspects, Wallace features designed for his paralysis and his cigar-smoking bedroom in the mansion alone. They probably assumed he would return after his constitutionally mandated hiatus. There will never be another politician who will control the reins of state government for five terms like Wallace did. He essentially established himself as king of Alabama in pretty much the same way as Franklin Delano Roosevelt did as president from 1932 until his death in 1945. Ironically and coincidentally, both ruled from wheelchairs. Wallace simply owned the legislature. He was like a dictator and legislators were his puppets. As a young legislator, I watched as Wallace’s lieutenants
STEVE FLOWERS Columnistt simply sent the agenda for the day down from the governor’s office, bypassing the rules committee completely. The governor’s budget became the budget. If there was any pork in the budget, it went to Wallace’s loyal legislators. Thankfully, I represented Wallace’s home county of Barbour, therefore my district was on the pork list. In essence during that 20-year Wallace reign, the legislature was simply an appendage of the governor’s office. Today, the legislature has assumed its inherent power which is derived from the power of the purse. The legislature controls the appropriation of the state’s dollars, the ways and means of state government if you will. It is the most powerful branch because it controls the purse strings. Thus the old political Golden Rule, “Those that control the gold make the rules.” Ivey and the legislature have a golden opportunity to have a successful four years. They are all of the same party and have a close working relationship. As lieutenant governor and presiding officer of the Senate for over six years, Ivey built an excellent rapport with and understands the workings and machinations of the legislature. She is especially close to the
Senate leaders such as Del Marsh, Jabo Waggoner and Greg Reed. The legislature is overwhelmingly Republican; in the Senate it’s 27-8 and in the House it’s 77-28. Ivey and the legislature are also the recipients of outstanding financial news as they begin their first regular legislative session this week — Alabama is seeing the strongest tax growth since the Great Recession a decade ago. The tax dollars that make up the Educational Trust Fund have grown by 6.9 percent over 2017. That is a whopping $428 million more dollars to work with in the crafting of the next fiscal year’s budget. The primary sources for funding the education budget are income and sales tax. Income taxes, the biggest source of school funding, grew by more than $300 million this past year. It appears President Donald Trump and the Republican Congress’ passage of a tax-cut package last year has been the stimulus for the growth in revenue for Alabama’s tax coffers. Even the beleaguered General Fund Budget is in better shape than was first thought. Our General Fund reaps its revenues from different taxes and tends to grow much more slowly than the education fund revenues but it grew by $76 million, putting the projection close to $2 billion.

The Outlook
Catastrophes avoided locally; thinking of Lee County H appy birthday to Michael Hampton tomorrow, and on March 12 Ron’s cousin John Moore and his lovely wife Dianne celebrate their 52nd wedding anniversary. They all live in Alex City. There has been such a wide range of weather lately — loads of rain intermittently with lovely warm sunny days and now very cold. It makes most of us wish for the summer to come and stay. Tornadoes don’t have a proper time of year and sadly one hit Lee County on Sunday. We were very lucky here. When I was in Wetumpka last week, some locals were still discussing repairs after the one that hit them so hard in January. Some things that happen teach us important lessons and make us aware of what could make a catastrophe. Last Wednesday was one of those
ROSIE MORGAN
Columnist days for a few local folks in Equality. Ms. Pat Hipp, with the help of Rachel Fuller, were making preparations to get Ms. Pat moved in with her local family. When a mattress was moved, the household cat got trapped within a bedspring. The cat was so tightly lodged in that spring it had to be cut in order to set the cat free. Meanwhile at the Dean home off Highway 9, Ms. Jackie was tidying up, including emptying the fireplace ashes outside. The ashes had been sitting for three days but apparently were not out and when Ms. Jackie looked outside they had
rekindled and fire had covered a lot of her grass and pine straw, even getting close to the propane tank. She did the smart thing and called 911 for help. Luckily, newly installed Coosa County Sheriff Michael Howell was only five minutes away and responded. The volunteer fire department arrived but the burning was just about contained by Jackie with the help of Sheriff Howell by that time. We should always call in the professionals who know what to do. Katelyn Hutcherson, 23, the daughter of Sheldon and granddaughter of Janice Moses, who lives around the corner on Highway 18, was set to have hip replacement surgery last Friday. When Katelyn was just 6, she had an accident on a trampoline and hurt her hip. Please keep the family in your prayers. We all hope recovery
after successful surgery will be easy for her. The Chit-Chatters ladies lunching group met last Thursday at Cozumel Mexican Restaurant in Eclectic. We sang “Happy Birthday” to Jackie Dean to honor her celebration day Feb. 23. They have a large selection of lunch specials from which to choose with very ample servings. Those attending the luncheon besides me and Jackie were Yvonne Myers, Janice Moses, Lynda Moseley, Barbara Stephens, Rachel Fuller, Sharon Coffman, Jean Sims and Linda Seitz. We all enjoyed the fellowship and good food, plus we always find something to laugh about. Sweet Ms. Yvonne Myers got the specialty fried ice cream and said it was delicious. You know, sometimes ongoing public work inconveniences us but the outcome is worthwhile. The
cell satellite tower behind the Old Golden Rule is getting taller while improvements are made. The Old Golden Rule has not been open in 2019 and no one around these parts seems to know why Adonis Thomas has closed his doors. He was always a friendly chap but the shop seemed short on its stock, although it was great if you needed salt or sugar. Local logging seems to be over. There are no brush fires for cleanup and the road is still covered with mud as the rains made it slushy. I’m glad I don’t own a white vehicle. Count your blessings, then count your calories. Until next week, keep smiling. 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.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Keep hanging back, or you could be upset by what happens. A little caution goes a long way. You need to wait and see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on. A new beginning becomes possible if you slow down. Tonight: Not to be seen. Add some mystery. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have a sense that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about to make a dream a reality. Communicate your bottom line. You could be more easily angered if interfered with. A meeting proves to be signiĂ&#x201E;cant and allows you greater Ă&#x2026;exibility. Tonight: OÉ&#x2C6; celebrating living. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be willing to take a stand if necessary. Travel could occur because of a quick change. You are likely to be dealing with people who think and act diÉ&#x2C6;erently from you. You have an opportunity to break past a restriction. Tonight: Make it an early night. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Focus on a long-term wish. The chance has come to realize a goal or Ă&#x201E;nally take the next step in your life. Take your time solidifying your plans. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if you hit a blockage or two in the next few weeks. Tonight: Relax and indulge in a favorite pastime. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A partner could cause a problem for you at the last minute. Try not to get involved with it if possible. You have a vision of how you want your bond to be. You might even think you have it. Your rose-colored shades might be tinting the situation. Remember, the other party is human. Try not to put him or her on a pedestal. Tonight: Remain responsive. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You are learning that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take any idea as the Ă&#x201E;nal concept for a project or whatever youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at. You keep seeing concepts and values systems being tested. Honor a fast change.
Tonight: Listen to a partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be adamant about completing a project, yet face some interference. You also might be eyeing a new project that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to. Express your idealism in a positive manner rather than deceiving yourself about a key matter. Tonight: As you like it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your imagination kicks in. You come up with unusual ideas that could delight a loved one. He or she might be jolted by an unexpected event and need to share and clear the air. Tonight: Work on your listening skills. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could feel unusually tense around a domestic or personal matter. You might be considering a greater commitment or change. Ask questions, and get to the bottom of a problem. Tonight: Extremely playful. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You hear news or receive information that could stop you in your tracks. You have a lot to think about. The unexpected provokes some dynamic ideas and possibilities. Tonight: Express your excitement at the newness of a situation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be greeting a sudden or surprising change. The situation could have an impact on your Ă&#x201E;nances. Be careful making commitments of any type for several weeks. More information could come up. Tonight: Stay neutral. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be unusually creative but me-oriented as well. Your long-desired new beginning or goal seems to be in sight. Communication still could be oÉ&#x2C6; for several weeks. Tonight: Share what you consider to be a wonderful idea.

Ivey
continued from Page 1
critical infrastructure legislation,â&#x20AC;? she said in a statement released by her office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beginning tomorrow, as we enter this special session, we must shift our focus and tackle this issue together.â&#x20AC;? An hour before, Ivey resolutely told lawmakers in her State of the State address in Montgomery she was willing to order a special session over the gas tax. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to make our crumbling infrastructure system a problem of the past,â&#x20AC;? Ivey said in the historic State Capitol chamber during a statewide telecast. Ivey, who was elected to her first four-year term in November and is considered one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular governors, drew a standing ovation from legislators when she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a challenge that is felt by every Alabamian, clearly making it a bipartisan issue. As governor, I say enough is enough. Now is the time to rebuild Alabama.â&#x20AC;? It will be easier to pass the gas tax increase in a special session, which requires only a simple majority. In the regular session, bills connected with the state budget must pass with a three-fifths majority. As the regular session convened Tuesday, Ivey made it clear her proposal to raise the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gas tax for the first time since 1992 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 10 cents a gallon over the next three years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is the centerpiece of her 2019 agenda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I want to be crystal clear this money will be scrutinized and watched over â&#x20AC;&#x201D; every single penny,â&#x20AC;? she said to robust applause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be strong accountability measures to make certain these monies are spent solely on transportation infrastructure. Period. â&#x20AC;Ś A renewed investment in infrastructure will lead to safer roads, economic prosperity and an enhanced quality of life.â&#x20AC;? Ivey said she wants to end the practice of diverting funds from the Alabama Department of Transportation to help the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s court system and law enforcement agencies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe we should begin to unwind this outdated approach,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And, in fact, the budgets I am presenting will cut this annual transfer in half without hurting the court system or our hard-working state law enforcement officers.â&#x20AC;? Ivey said neighboring states are increasing their revenue for their transportation budgets and Alabama must do the same, citing major con-
gestion on interstates and the fact county governments are resurfacing their roads on a 56-year cycle and replacing bridges on a 186-year schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Folks, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost as long as Alabama has been a state,â&#x20AC;? Ivey said. Ivey, standing upon a generally improving economy, a landslide victory in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gubernatorial election and with Republican dominance in the legislature, outlined a bold agenda for the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ladies and gentlemen, this evening, I am proud to report that the state of our state is growing stronger each day,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent history, combined with the willing attitude I sense in the chamber this evening, will aid in our quest to overcome our long-neglected issues and will help us achieve even greater prosperity for the entire state. We will accomplish this together because we are Alabama and this is our time.â&#x20AC;? Ivey made the following major funding proposals: â&#x20AC;˘ A 2-percent raise for all state employees and enough money to hire 50 more state troopers. â&#x20AC;˘ A 4-percent raise for all teachers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pre-K through community college. â&#x20AC;˘ An extra $7 million for mental health programs. â&#x20AC;˘ An extra $25 million to expand the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nationally recognized First Class Pre-K program and expand it by 193 classrooms. â&#x20AC;˘ An additional $31 million in the General Fund budget to hire 500 new correctional officers and increase pay for all prison security personnel. Ivey said reforming the â&#x20AC;&#x153;horrendousâ&#x20AC;? prison system is another priority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our next step must be to address the issue of understaffing to improve our recruiting and retention efforts,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alabama is currently under a federal court order requiring the state to roughly double the number of corrections officers over the next two years. If we fail to resolve the apparent issue of understaffing in our prisons, federal courts will dictate what needs to happen in our own state. This is an Alabama problem that must have an Alabama solution.â&#x20AC;? Ivey touted Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including the technology, automobile and aerospace industries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as a potential regional and national powerhouse.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy is breaking records some thought we would never see,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2018, alone, Alabama achieved a historic total of $8.8 billion in new capital investments which created more than 17,000 new and future jobs for our people. Major technology companies like Amazon, Facebook, Google and Shipt are showing the rest of the country what it means to do business in our state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alabama is on track to be the No. 2 auto-producing state in the nation in less than five years. This is remarkable for a state that 25 years ago did not produce a single car, truck or SUV. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our aerospace industry is once again redefining the futures of both our state and nation. With the recent groundbreaking for Airbusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second assembly line, the city of Mobile is positioned to be one of the top four cities in the world for aerospace manufacturing. And up in Huntsville, construction began on Blue Originâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $200 million rocket production facility, further solidifying Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critical role in putting the United States at the forefront of space exploration.â&#x20AC;? Ivey said Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3.7-percent unemployment rate in 2018 was its lowest ever but she is not satisfied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are still some 80,000 Alabamians seeking employment opportunities,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And to those across our state who are still searching, I urge you to not lose faith because we are not going to rest on our efforts and we will not leave you behind.â&#x20AC;? At the beginning of her address, Ivey asked for a moment of silence for the 23 people killed by Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tornadoes in Lee County. They included â&#x20AC;&#x153;young children who had barely experienced life, mothers, fathers, friends and neighbors,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is during times like these that we turn to the good Lord, asking for His continued comfort and healing hands. We also give special thanks for the emergency responders and local law enforcement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While there is always uncertainty in what tomorrow may bring, there is absolute certainty in the resiliency of the people of Alabama. After all, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done it before and we will do it again. This is a time for all of Alabama, and our entire nation, to rally behind these good people. Together, we will bring Lee County back to its feet.â&#x20AC;?

Carlisleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
continued from Page 1
years ago when they had to consolidate their pharmacy operations. Instead of closing, the Champions kept the soda fountain operational and moved the rest of the operation in downtown Alexander City to retail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a lot of loyal people who supported us,â&#x20AC;? Daniel Champion said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Retail is incredibly demanding because of online. It is not impossible to survive but it is a challenge.â&#x20AC;? The Champions hope someone can take on Carlisleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and continue to help support the businesses of downtown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to help the people of downtown,â&#x20AC;? Daniel Champion said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to miss everyone downtown. We hope someone can come in that space and operate in such an iconic location. Downtown is such a great place.â&#x20AC;? The Champions are appreciative of the support they have received over the years and of the family who started the business more than a century ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to thank the Carlisle family for the opportunity to carry on the family business,â&#x20AC;? Daniel Champion said. The building occupied by Carlisleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is owned by Larkin Radney and Kenny Riley. They are hopeful a replacement tenant will be found soon to continue operating the soda fountain and more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We fully intend to keep it going,â&#x20AC;? Radney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is a great location and we hope to have it leased out as quickly as possible.â&#x20AC;? Radney said they plan for whoever takes over to keep the soda fountain open. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will still see the traditional limeades and pimento cheese,â&#x20AC;? Radney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to see ice cream too. We are looking for the right retail fit for downtown Alexander City.â&#x20AC;? With the announcement of the Champions coming just Friday, Radney said things already look good for he and Rileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan of keeping the soda fountain in operation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had a lot of interest already,â&#x20AC;? Radney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a great opportunity for someone and for downtown Alexander City.â&#x20AC;? Champion said the last day for his family to operate the soda fountain is March 16 and the store will close March 30.

ANNUAL DRINKING WATER QUALITY REPORT (January through December 2018)
Jackson’s Gap Water Authority • 567 Jackson’s Gap Way Jackson’s Gap, AL 36861 • Telephone: 256-825-8385 g
Is my water safe? Last year, as in years past, your tap water met all U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) drinking water health standards. Your local water of¿cials vigilantly safeguard its water supplies and once again we are proud to report that our system has not violated a maximum contaminant level or any other water quality standards. We’re pleased to present to you this year’s Annual Drinking Water Quality Report. This report is designed to inform you about the quality water and services we deliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. Our water source is purchase water from the Adams Water Filtration Plant, which is surface water from Lake Martin. The water goes through a process of coagulation, Àocculation, sedimentation and ¿ltration with chlorine added to the ¿nal product as a disinfection and the required residual is maintained to protect your drinking water from any possible outside contaminants. The Jackson’s Gap Water Authority routinely completes a water storage facility inspection plan and utilizes a Bacteriological Monitoring Plan and a Cross Connection Policy is in place to insure good safe drinking water for our customers. Alexander City Water Department has completed a Source Water Assessment Plan, which is available at their of¿ce for review. This report provides information about potential sources of contamination and is set up to help protect our source. We want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled Board meetings. They are held on the 4th Wednesday of the month at the Conference Room that is located at 548 Jackson’s Gap Way and begin at 4:00 p.m. The members of the Board of Directors are: Roger Pritchard, Chairman Wayne Reaves

All drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. It’s important to remember that the presence of these contaminants does not necessarily pose a health risk. The EPA or ADEM requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently.

General Information Lead in Drinking Water: “If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The Jackson’s Gap Water Authority is responsible for providing high quality drinking water but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by Àushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.”
Variances & Exemptions – ADEM or EPA permission not to meet an MCL or a treatment technique under certain conditions.
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and radioactive material, and it can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activities.
Explanation of reasons for variance/exemptions
As you can see by the tables, our system had no monitoring violations of allowable limits of contaminants in drinking water. We’re proud that your drinking water meets or exceeds all Federal and State requirements. We have learned through our monitoring and testing that some contaminants have been detected. The EPA has determined that your water IS SAFE at these levels. MCL’s are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated contaminants, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect.
Based on a study conducted by ADEM with the approval of the EPA a statewide waiver for the monitoring of asbestos and dioxin was issued. Thus monitoring for these contaminants was not required. The Jackson’s Gap Water Authority routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in the following tables show the results of our monitoring period of January 1st to December 31st, 2018.

Table of Secondary and Unregulated Contaminants Secondary Drinking Water Standards are guidelines regulating contaminants that may cause cosmetic effects (such as skin or tooth discoloration) or aesthetic effects (such as taste, odor, or color) in drinking water. ADEM has Secondary Drinking Water Standards established in state regulations applicable to water systems required to monitor for the various components. Unregulated contaminants are those for which EPA has not established drinking water standards. The purpose of unregulated contaminant monitoring is to assist EPA in determining the occurance of unregulated contaminants in drinking water and whether future regulation is warranted.

Total Coliform: The Total Coliform Rule requires water systems to meet a stricter limit for coliform bacteria. Coliform bacteria are usually harmless, but their presence in water can be an indication of disease-causing bacteria. When coliform bacteria are found, special followup tests are done to determine if harmful bacteria are present in the water supply. If this limit is exceeded, the water supplier must notify the public by newspaper, television or radio. To comply with the stricter regulation, we have increased the average amount of chlorine in the distribution system. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. People who are immuno-compromised such as cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, organ transplant recipients, HIV/AIDS positive or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. People at risk should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)/CDC (Center of Disease Control) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline. All Drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Thank you for allowing us to continue providing your family with clean, quality water this year. In order to maintain a safe and dependable water supply we sometimes need to make improvements that will bene¿t all of our customers. These improvements are sometimes reÀected as rate structure adjustments. Thank you for understanding. We at the Jackson’s Gap Water Authority work around the clock to provide top quality water to every tap. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life and our children’s future.

AU’s Burns is worth the price of admission T
he Auburn Tigers swept the Cincinnati Bearcats this weekend in a threegame set at Plainsman Park bringing their overall record to 9-2 on the season. The Tigers pounded out 29 hits and scored 19 runs shutting out the competition in two of the three contests. The Bearcats were overwhelmed in every aspect, but in all fairness, they’re not a very good team. They entered Samford Stadium with one victory on the resume Friday night and left after Saturday’s doubleheader still with only one victory. Auburn’s sophomore right fielder Steven Williams, who was terrific as a freshman in 2018, has started to heat up at the plate and had an outstanding series. He went 7-for-12 over the weekend with a home run, four RBIs and five runs scored. Butch Thompson also continues to get good production from some true freshman in the lineup like center fielder Kason Howell (.342 average) and second baseman Ryan Bliss (.279 average). Chattahoochee Valley transfer Rankin Woley leads the team right now with a .378 average on 17 hits with 13 RBIs and 12 runs scored. Shortstop Will Holland is super talented but has struggled mightily to start the season, batting only .171. Hopefully, he’ll catch fire right about the time conference season gets underway which will be in two weeks. If he does, Auburn could be hard to handle. While the AU offense put up some good numbers, the real stars of the show were on the pitching mound at Hitchcock Field. Tanner Burns and Jack Owen put on a clinic in the first two games of the series. Burns absolutely dominated on Friday night, throwing a two-hit shutout. The sophomore Decaturnative struck out a career-best 15 batters which tied the Auburn record held by Casey Mize (2018), Chris Bootcheck (1999), Tim Hudson (1997), John Powell (1994) and Mark Chapman (1986). Owen, from Aliso Viejo, California, was predominantly a midweek starter last year and was slotted to resume that role in 2019. However, scheduled starter Davis Daniel experienced tightness in his forearm in the opening game of the season and will not be available for several more weeks at best. Owen seized the opportunity with a careerbest performance, going seven innings, allowing no runs on three hits and striking out 10. Again, Cincinnati didn’t exactly provide a Murderers’ Row lineup, but the confidence gained from an outing like this could be invaluable. Burns was named the SEC Pitcher of the week. Auburn has had some really good pitching prospects come through campus in the last several years, such as Keegan Thompson and Casey Mize. Burns is just as good, if not better than his predecessors. He dominates with a lively See GRAHAM • Page 12

‘COMPLETE TEAM EFFORT’ Wildcats respond well to first loss, take down Thompson By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
Coming off its first loss of the season, Benjamin Russell’s boys soccer team was hoping to see a new spark. The Wildcats wanted to get off to a fast start then not let up on the gas for an entire game. That’s exactly what they did Tuesday night a 3-1 defeat of Thompson. Out of the gate, Luke Harvey got a pass from Brandon Welcher and beat a pair of defenders to take a 1-0 less than 10 minutes into the game. From there, Harvey created several scoring opportunities, and the Wildcats didn’t pump the brakes even when Thompson scored to pull within one goal with just 11 minutes remaining. Instead, they hit the gas even harder. After scoring the first two goals for BRHS, Harvey went to the net again and put one straight on the Warriors’ goalkeeper, who didn’t quite hold it. Lucan Yates was there to scoop up the rebound and he dished into the top right corner of the net to score an insurance goal with 7:39 on the clock. “(Luke) had a lot of energy up top, and that’s what we needed,” BRHS coach Austin Teel said. “When we went up 1-0, we went with a more defensive mind so we just needed the guys up top, especially when they were working by themselves. We just needed a lot of energy. Luke just had really pure effort out there. “I thought it started from the goalie to the defense to the midfield, and as long as you’re playing like a complete team with complete effort, all

the guys are going to respond to that.” Benjamin Russell keeper Campbell Woods had a few timely saves and if it weren’t for a late goal when Thompson put on a ton of pressure and Jose Villanueva scored on a rebound, Woods was primed for a shutout. He had four saves in the opening seven minutes of first half, as Thompson peppered him with pressure. Woods also had a lot of help from his defense. Dylan Riley had a potential goalsaving stop on a Warriors free See SOCCER • Page 12

Benjamin Russell’s Asia McWaters fires a pitch against Alabama Christian Academy on Tuesday night. McWaters finished with 14 strikeouts in the loss.
Errors doom BRHS in loss By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
Both Benjamin Russell’s Asia McWaters and Alabama Christian’s Haley Pittman were throwing heat Tuesday night. The two softball pitchers combined for 32 strikeouts and neither gave up more than five hits. And although the Wildcats actually backed up their pitcher with more offense, they didn’t get behind her on the field. A slew of untimely errors led to four unearned runs for the Eagles, who walked away with a 6-2 victory. “The outfield is killing us,” Benjamin Russell coach Jessica Johnson said. “They have to step up. When our pitcher is making pitches she was making against hitters like those, we have got to execute on the field. It’s not happening, so we gotta find somebody that’s going to make it happen. (Today in practice), we’re going to have to make changes and find somebody who’s going to execute.” The errors started early and often for the Wildcats. Alabama’s Baily Perkins led off with what would’ve been just a double if not for an
outfield error by BHRS that allowed Perkins to get all the way home for an early 1-0 lead. Perkins nearly did it again in the third inning, as she smacked it to almost the same spot on the field and it was dropped. This time, she was held up at second though. Alabama Christian’s only earned runs came in the top of the fourth when Rose Costanza led off with a double and was followed two outs later by an absolute bomb from Aniya Jackson. Her hit was at least 15 feet over the center-field fence. “(Asia) did really well,” Johnson said. “She threw that one home run, but that girl got her barrel in the right spot. It’s going to happen. She didn’t miss that pitch. Apart from that, everything else was errors.” Benjamin Russell (7-4) had a pair of errors in both the fifth and seventh innings that allowed the Eagles to add three more runs. The only two runs of Benjamin Russell’s were also unearned, but the Wildcats did finish with four hits. In the fifth inning with two outs, Baylee Adkins, who went 2-for-3 on the night, laced a single to centerfield to get things started. See SOFTBALL • Page 12
Trojans falls to Chipola in softball doubleheader STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
After having been out of commission for more than a week due to rainy weather, Central Alabama Community College finally hit the softball diamond again Monday but suffered a sweep against the Chipola Indians, 7-2 and 16-7. In the first game, CACC couldn’t get its bats going and finished with just one hit. The Trojans (14-4) scored their only runs in the fifth and the seventh innings. The first was on an error that gave Pearl Huff (Dadeville) time to score and the second was on an RBI single from Keana Pearson. Huff scored both runs. Offensively the Trojans looked better in the second game, totaling seven hits, but that wasn’t enough to overcome a defensive breakdown that featured six errors. The fifth inning was when Central Alabama did most of its damage but a lot of that was thanks to errors by Chipola. After one out, Pearson and Kayli Hornsby (Reeltown) smacked back-to-back singles before the next three Trojan batters reached on errors. CACC also added three more runs before the inning’s end on a Chelsea Parker home run. CACC finished the day with just eight hits, led by Person’s hat trick of singles. Lauren Phillips also had a double and a single. Only 13 of Chipola’s 23 total runs scored were earned.
BASEBALL CACC explodes for 13 runs in final inning
Leading by just two runs after seven innings, Central Alabama closed out the game in the eighth frame by racked up 13 runs in the eighth inning alone for a 16-1 victory over Chattahoochee Valley on Saturday afternoon. With one out, Donald Stokes started the offensive onslaught with a single and he was followed by a pair of walks. Louis Olivieri then batted into an error, which gave Stokes time to score. Cal Burton (Reeltown), Chris Gillette and Gage Herring then had consecutive run-scoring singles. Jeremy Almaguer kept things going by See TROJANS • Page 12

“Baylee did look good in the box,” Johnson said. “She was seeing the ball really well. She took advantage of laying off the high stuff and going with that little screwball stuff, and it paid off. She had two really good at bats.” McWaters then reached on an error, and the Wildcats filled the diamond when Leah Leonard drew a walk. Taylor Harris capitalized with a double to score a pair of runs but that was all the Wildcats could muster as Pittman fired her 15th strikeout of the night to that point. Pittman finished with 18 strikeouts and needed help from her defense only three times. The Wildcats knew what
they were up against, as they had faced Pittman and the Eagles during their preseason umpires’ clinic. But Johnson said having that previous experience against Pittman have worked against her team. “She’s a very good pitcher,” Johnson said. “She’s got more movement than most any pitcher we face, but I think that was also in the back of our minds going in. She’s not unhittable, but the first time we faced her in the umpires’ tournament, everyone struck out in their first at bat. We’ve gotta be bigger mentally in the box. We’ve gotta believe in ourselves when we go in, and we didn’t look that way tonight.”

kick in the first half. Andrew Caldwell also gave several good minutes on the back row. “Andrew had been kinda playing backup to Dylan but Andrew is a good utility player because we can put him in anywhere,” Teel said. “He gives s very good energy, very good effort and that’s what we need. When some guys need five or six minutes, we need somebody in there to give us effort so the team can perform as well.” Harvey also scored the Wildcats’ second goal. After he was robbed by Thompson’s goalie at the midway point of the second half, Harvey had another golden opportunity just 30 seconds later with the keeper out of position but his shot went wide. Benjamin Russell didn’t stop the pressure though. Less than three minutes later, Caldwell threw the ball in to Lucan Yates, who put a nice shot on the keeper, who just got his fingers on it

He is definitely worth the price of admission. The Tigers will take on UT-Martin for a couple of games this week then welcome in the University of Texas-San Antonio for three-game set this weekend.

for the save. But this time, Harvey was there to put the rebound in the back of the net. Although Harvey led the offense, Teel was extremely proud of how the entire team played, especially after last week’s 2-0 loss to Stanhope Elmore. “I challenged the boys and I asked them how they were going to respond from adversity,” Teel said. “That determines who you are as individuals and who we are as a team. I was very pleased because I thought tonight was a complete team effort. Every single person that got in the game, every single person on the field worked for 80 minutes. They played whistle to whistle, and that’s probably the first complete game we played so I was very happy.” The Wildcats host rival Sylacauga on Saturday afternoon with the girls game starting at 1 p.m. and the boys to follow.

grounding into a fielder’s choice which allowed Burton to score. A Mathew Radoslovich single once again loaded the bases for CACC (9-8). Then things really fell apart for Chattahoochee Valley as allowed three straight walks, an error and two hit batters. Herring closed out the inning for the Trojans with an RBI single. Herring and Radoslovich both led the way with a pair of hits. Herring drove in three runs, and Michael Wurtz plated two. Connor Brooks (Benjamin Russell) started the game on the mound. He threw two innings, allowing two hits but also striking out a pair. In total, the Trojans threw eight different pitchers who combined for eight hits, one run, three strikeouts and three walks. No one threw more than Brooks’ two frames.
