Steve Thomas of CDG Engineers & Associates talks with commissioners Monday about grant possibilities to make improvements around the courthouse in Dadeville.

Commissioners hear about grant possibilities By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

Tallapoosa County Commissioners heard a presentation of how they could seek grant funds to help beautify the area around the courthouse. Steve Thomas of CDG Engineers and Associates made the
presentation of the possibility of a Transportation Alternative Program grant that would be similar to one awarded to the city of Dadeville and would allow for a total transformation of the area, rather than just the outside perimeter. “It would be a situation where you would be eligible, if approved, for up to $400,000 in funds, with a
20 percent county match,” Thomas told the commissioners. “It’s not a situation where we are asking for approval today. I will be glad to get a cost estimate together based on what we have talked about and get back to you at the next meeting. “But this would be a great See COMMISSIONERS, Page 5
Saturday night fights Employees
CACC may merge with other area colleges
ask council for correct pay levels
Southern Union, CVCC could join forces By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor
By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor
Is Central Alabama Community College about to become the centerpiece of a cluster of fellow community colleges? On the agenda for the Thursday work session, the trustees have an item that calls for Alabama Community College Board of Trustees to initiate a planning process designed to consolidate Alexander City’s CACC with Southern Union State Community College and Chattahoochee Valley Community College. If the board were to approve the consolidation, it would combine the two CACC campuses in Childersburg, Alexander City and the Talladega Center with Southern Union’s campuses in Wadley, Valley and Opelika, with Phenix City’s CVCC. Officials said details are not finalized, but that could allow for the combining of sports leadership and administrative personnel, See MERGE, Page 5

A crowd of about 250 people turned out at the Sportplex Saturday night for the Brawl for a Cause professional wrestling card. Fans saw legendary Bullet Bob Armstrong chop the Super Assassin and take a win for he and tag team partner Action Mike Jackson. Fans of all ages, including, Cannon Gregg, got into the action. The event raised money for 18-month-old Natalia Ibarra who has been battling cancer.
Firefighters and other city employees who have been denied step increases over the years appealed to the city council to make adjustment to get pay to where the personnel manual says it should be. The plea came at Monday’s budget work session and even though it will mean more cuts, the problem was heard loud and clear. Fire Department Capt. Chris Queen spoke passionately about the 18 fire employees that are several steps behind. “Individuals have been employed here for a number of years,” Queen said. “But even though we have a personnel manual that says what they should be paid, they aren’t being paid at a step in accordance with their years of service.” Alexander City Fire Department Chief Kem Jones said the corrections have been put off repeatedly. “We are told that we don’t have the money,” Jones said. “We hear that, but if it’s a secretary we can pay them $36,000, but when it comes to paying these guys just what the book says they are supposed to be paid, we don’t have money for that. “We have to do it like the book says it should be.” In most cases, Queen said being behind in steps will drastically impact retirement funds. “I have a hard time understanding why I’m paid seven steps below what the book says I See COUNCIL, Page 5
Lake cleanup draws 290 volunteers despite weather By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer
An estimated 290 volunteers braved the messy weather that pestered the area Friday and Saturday to participate in the Seventh annual Renew Our Rivers Lake Martin Cleanup, according to John Thompson, president of the Lake Martin Resource Alliance. “We had a total of 290 volunteers including Camp Fire Girls, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and other youth groups who removed trash from roadways, the Lake Martin shoreline and the Tallapoosa River,” said Thompson.
Thompson said organizers were unable to get an accurate weight on the trash collected yet. “Without the ability to get an accurate weight, I would estimate 5.5 to 6 tons of total trash were removed,” he said. “Four dumpsters located at three locations – Wind Creek State Park, Kowaliga public boat ramp and Coley Creek public boat ramp – were each one-half to threequarters filled. In addition more than 100 volunteers disposed of approximately 125 bags of trash at Real Island Marina, Kiwanis Girl Scout Camp and New Site.” See CLEANUP, Page 9

DEAR ABBY: A year ago, I ended a turbulent five-year relationship with my boyfriend, “Alex,” that resulted in a special-needs child. Alex is not living in reality when it comes to our daughter’s disabilities, and his family is not present in her life. Our daughter, “Meghan,” spent months in the hospital before she was healthy enough to come home, and Alex’s family visited only a few times. I have tried to resolve the issues with Alex’s family so our daughter can have a relationship with them, but it is still one-sided. Meghan’s paternal family will send a present for her birthday or Christmas, but they spend no time with her. They have other grandchildren in other states that his mother drives hours to see, but she won’t drive five minutes to see my daughter. I’d like to start rejecting the gifts they send Meghan with

a note explaining why. I find it disturbing that they’ll spend money on my child, but are unwilling to spend time with her. I feel the gifts are a payoff. I don’t want Meghan to feel like the odd man out when she’s old enough to realize how she is treated compared to the other grandchildren. Abby, what are your thoughts? -- END OF MY ROPE DEAR END OF MY ROPE: I hate to see you sever your already tenuous ties with Meghan’s paternal family.

relationship with their son. If they would consent to it, I would recommend family counseling for all of you. However, if they won’t, and because you feel that their lack of involvement in Meghan’s life will eventually become hurtful to her, you are within your rights to reject their gifts and find more support for her within your own family. DEAR ABBY: My son tells me no one wants to hang out with him at the small community college he attends. He is a handsome, loving, polite young man who earned the citizenship award three years in a row in elementary school. His sister and I were discussing that maybe he is being TOO polite and it could turn people off. No one likes the “nice guy.” Do you have any advice I can give him? -- RAISED A GOOD BOY DEAR RAISED A GOOD BOY: I disagree with your

statement that no one likes a nice guy. Nice people like nice people. From this distance, I am unable to guess what your son’s problem might be. However, it is telling that you are seeking advice about his social problems, not him. The best advice you could convey to your son would be to talk about this with a counselor at school. Together, they may be able to figure out why he has trouble fitting in. You should also encourage him to get involved in activities, which should widen his circle of acquaintances.

Reflections of a not so avid deer hunter
Hats off to D cleanup organizers
Last weekend 290 people combed out across the area with a single purpose – to make Lake Martin and the surrounding area as clean as possible. The volunteers all gave their time as part of the 7th annual Renew Our Rivers Lake Martin Cleanup. The massive volunteer effort took tons of trash from the waters of the lake, area streams, creeks and from surrounding land and roadways. It’s great to see progress, but we can all do our part and speed what could be a dramatic transformation. Why? Think about this. We are blessed here to have a 44,000-acre tourist attraction that features almost 800 miles of shoreline in Lake Martin. It stands to reason that when people come to the lake, they will spend at least some time in Alexander City. With that in mind, showing these visitors the place we call home at its best is essential to help make these people want to return again and again. The Lake Martin Area Economic Development Alliance, the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce and MainStreet Alexander City are all trying to lure new industry, businesses and restaurants, as well as plan events that will help the local economy and improve the quality of life here. It’s important that we all do our part to give these groups the tools they need to sell our community to newcomers. No matter if it’s sprucing up our yards with landscaping, putting a fresh coat of paint on our home or simply taking the time to pick up a piece of trash we see on the ground – just do it. Hats off to all of the organizers and volunteers who worked so hard to make last weekend’s cleanup effort a success. It was incredible to see how much they accomplished, despite weather that wasn’t perfect by any stretch of the imagination. Now, let’s all take pride in our community and let’s make sure others who come here see it for the shining star that it is.

eer season will be opening soon. The orange-hatted hunters will crowd the woods, guns at the ready, keeping their eyes out for that trophy antlered buck. Of course, in a pinch they’ll settle for a spike. Alas, I will not be among those who meet the chill winter mornings ashiver with buck fever. I was cured of that malady long ago on a dirt road in Coosa County. I never was a deer-hunting fanatic. Still, as a child I often made the trek from my hometown of Opp to Fort Rucker, where we did our hunting in those days. I remember curling up in the floorboard of the Daddy’s old Ford truck to keep warm, normally falling fast asleep on the 50-mile or so trip. And I remember hunts after our move to Coosa County, being put out on stands I believe to this day had somehow been discerned those where a hunter was least likely to see a deer. I’ve hunted when it was unseasonably warm and I’ve hunted when it was frigid cold. On the day I gave up hunting, it was wet, much like the days we’ve experienced of late. My older brother, Dodd, put me on the stand that day, one some distance in the woods off a dirt road near our house. With his usual instructions – “Now, be still and be quiet!” – he set me off and headed for what I’m sure was a much better spot. I did as my brother said, standing still and silent among the hardwoods and underbrush that seemed endless around me. Every now

and then I would hear a shot echo in the distance and wonder who had been lucky enough to see a deer, much less get a shot. Certainly not me. The minutes turned to hours there in the wet woods. I had long given up standing for sitting. But I remained alert and as quiet as possible as I scanned the woods around me for that elusive buck. But now too much time had passed. I had grown weary of this futile pursuit and was ready for my brother to come and pick me up and take me home where I could exchange my wet coveralls for something dry and park myself inside for the rest of the day. Dodd had said he would honk the horn to signal me to come to the road when he came to pick me up. As far as I was concerned, he could honk any time he wanted. To put it bluntly, I was miserable and had already begun to wonder why anyone would endure this misery for the sake of shooting an animal. Then – finally – I head the distinctive horn-honk of Dodd’s 1969 Dodge Super Bee. I began to pick my way through the heavy underbrush toward the road. I reached the point on the edge of the woods where I could see and hear Dodd’s car sitting there idling. I picked up the pace as best I could. I
was ready to go! I approached the car from the rear, which proved to be my big mistake. When I was directly behind the car, Dodd stomped the accelerator. The powerful engine set the tires into a full ferocious spin in the Coosa County mud of the wet road. Within microseconds, I was red from head to toe, dripping in the mud Dodd had doubtless intentionally thrown on me. I watched as the car continued to fishtale into the distance. Not only had he soaked me in mud, but now he was leaving me!?! Rarely in my 55 years have I been as mad as I was at my brother at that particular moment. Still, I was able to pay attention through my rage enough to hear the sound of my brother’s engine continue to grow more and more faint as it moved away from me. “I should’ve shot out his tires,” I thought, as I started the trek toward home. It wasn’t a long walk – maybe a half mile or so – but it was made much more difficult by the weight of the rain and mud on my coveralls. Not to mention the anger. Finally, I heard the sound of Dodd’s car again. This time it was headed toward me! When my brother pulled up beside me, I could see that he was laughing hysterically. And, just for giggles, he tapped his accelerator when I grabbed the car’s door handle. That was roughly 40 years ago. I haven’t been deer hunting since. Granger is a staff writer for The Outlook.

Letters to the Editor
Call Alabama 811 before you dig Dear Editor, The Alexander City Gas Department would like to let the citizens of the Alexander City area know that natural gas is a safe and efficient energy. Our employees are trained and capable of handling any natural gas emergency that might arise. When police cars and fire trucks gather in one place it is easy to think something terrible has happened. While the incident that occurred on Washington Street this past Tuesday, where a third party excavator damaged a gas line isn’t something that happens every day, it is not uncommon. Third party damage to gas lines is the leading cause of reportable incidents as defined by the Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA). The natural gas industry has taken steps to mitigate third party damage by implementing a national call center that notifies gas companies when contractors, excavators, or regular citizen are planning a project that will include digging of any kind. Here in Alabama the call center is referred to as Alabama 811. Everyone must, by law call 811 and answer a few short questions at least 48 hours prior to digging. The call center then informs the gas company who will respond and locate the gas lines in your area. Yellow paint or yellow flags are used to mark the specific location. It is
very important to respect these markings and dig carefully around them. If you must dig with in a few feet of the yellow markings it should be done carefully by hand or with nondestructive tools. There are times however, when for various reasons gas lines are damaged resulting in a natural gas leak. Such was the occurrence on Washington Street this past Tuesday. This is why gas personnel are required to have initial and ongoing training in order to properly and safely respond to any natural gas emergency. New employees will attend over two hundred hours of training and testing over several years, in addition to “on the job training.” The PHMSA, a department under the United States Department of Transportation, requires documentation of each employee’s knowledge, skills, and ability to perform a specific task. Each employee must be requalified on the task they perform at specific intervals. We have also spent several thousand dollars to update our safety equipment over the past several years. The Gas Department has seven employees including the superintendent and the administrative assistant. Our employees are involved in the ongoing maintenance of the system, installing new mains and services, as well as investigating and repairing leaks. Each of the City utility departments receive around 1200 locate
requests each year. We also respond to over a hundred leak reports each year. Our employees perform their task each day safely, efficiently, with dedication and professionalism. The City’s Public Works and Utility Departments are in the business of repairing and maintaining your assets (streets, culverts, water lines, sewer lines, etc.) Each of the Departments face their own set of challenges and dangers while performing their daily task. Damage prevention is a key issue for gas systems and other utilities across the country. Even though the most recent damage was unintentional, the potential danger and the cost to everyone is real. In this case no one was injured because the Gas Department employees were prepared, notified the Police and Fire Departments for support, and used our training and personal protective equipment. We would like to thank the Police and the Fire Departments for their support and assistance not only at this incident but every time we need them. To find out more about natural gas safety, report a leak, or other concern, you can contact the Alexander City Gas Department at 256-409-2070. Mike Stewart Alexander City Gas Department

should be paid,” Queen said. “This is something that will impact me and my wife not only today, but in every breath we take until the day we die.” Human Resources Director Tammy Walker said she calculated it would take an estimated $392,000 to get everyone in a similar situation in all city departments up to the appropriate level. Council President Jim Spann said it was a shame that it had come to this situation. While he didn’t speak for previous councils, he said “the problem won’t go away until we fix it.” “When we came into office we inherited this but it is a commitment,” Spann said. “We have to honor that commitment. We will find the $392,000. It may mean that we don’t have a capital budget, but we have to do the right thing. “To me, it’s what’s fair, what’s just. This is what we commit to.” Faced with that reality, the council suggested cutting the entire fleet budget and about 62 percent of the capital budget to balance the budget. Department heads will be asked to make the necessary cuts, which amounts to about $3.5 million. Mayor Charles Shaw said he would make the request of department heads and should have the numbers back by Thursday. The council postponed a work session that was scheduled for today until Thursday at 4:30 p.m. The hope is that a budget can be finalized in time to be on Monday’s agenda for the regular council meeting.

sports teams as well as major programs. If approved, the result would be a large regional university. More details will likely become public at the work session scheduled for 1 p.m. in Montgomery. “It is on the agenda for discussion at Thursday’s meeting,” CACC President Susan Burrow said. “I think it would be premature to comment on it until after the Trustees have had time to discuss it.” Similar moves are also on the agenda for other clusters of schools. Those also being considered for consolidation are Alabama Southern Community College and Reid State Community College being paired and Faulkner State Community College and Jefferson Davis
Community College being consolidated as well. The moves, if approved by the trustees, would require notifying the Alabama Commission on Higher Education and The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. “It would be premature to discuss it further at this time,” said ACCS spokesperson Janet Martin. “It is a long process with several levels of clearance, but I think much of that will be discussed on Thursday. The soonest the Trustees could take any action would be at the December meeting. But the discussion will begin at the work session on Thursday.” It’s estimated that the time to complete the consolidations would be about 18 months.

opportunity to combine the county’s project with the project that the city will handle with their funds. That way the entire project could be done at the same time.” Thomas estimated that the county’s match would be no more than $125,000 with the required professional services such as engineering. He said the work does not have to be done immediately, saying that a two-year window is the normal limitations. “The construction itself would be 180 days at the most, but that would depend on the scope of the work,” Thomas said. “What Dadeville is looking at is vegetation and borders on the outside of the courthouse square. The idea is to make a one-directional traffic flow, creating a large roundabout essentially.” Dadeville City Councilman Mickey Tarpley was also on hand to tell the commissioners what they have planned. “We have gotten much more positive feedback than negative about the plan,” Tarpley said. “The traffic flow is a concern, but what we are looking at is that the log trucks that are often a concern, they would just have right turns and that would actually eliminate many of the issues we have now. “What we have been looking at is the outside edges. Think of it like this: We are the tire and your grant would fund the inside, or the rim.” County Administrator Blake Beck asked Thomas to get him cost projections in advance
of the Dec. 14 meeting so that the commissioners could be made aware and make the resolution an action item on the December agenda. County Attorney Thomas Radney also updated the commissioners on a resolution regarding Sunday alcohol sales. After some discussion, the commissioners asked Radney to draft a resolution calling for across the board, package and by the drink, sales on Sunday that would begin at noon on Sundays. If completed, the resolution to bring it to a vote of the people could be voted on at the December meeting. By 5-0 votes, the commissioners also: • Approved the minutes of Oct. 13 meeting. • Approved warrants and purchase orders for the month. • Approved the Tallapoosa County Commission meeting schedule for 2016. All meetings with the exception of the October meeting are scheduled for the second Monday of the month. In October, the meeting will be moved to the second Tuesday due to Columbus Day. • Approved the county’s holiday schedule, which will mirror the state’s holiday closure list. • Formally approved a resolution establishing a Community Correction Program that will be headed by Beth Alford. • Approved the sale of a right-of-way remnant on Paces Point Road that was given to the county by Alabama Power.

Raise your hand if you want your business to make LESS money next year. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you would. Do you need to successfully market on a tight budget? Tallapoosa and Elmore County Classifieds has customizable programs available to fit any budget. Call TODAY 256.277.4219
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get an earful early on. What you are hearing could be good information, but it also might be somewhat overwhelming. Consider allowing the person with the ideas to carry the banner on this issue. Use your instincts! Tonight: Go along with a family memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might be stubborn and want to have your way. However, someone else is determined to run the show. Go off and enjoy those in your life, or get into a different project. Allow this person to have his or her way -- and the extra work! Tonight: Agree to established plans. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH All work and no play isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t healthy, but today you might not have a choice. Stick to your vision when making a decision about a key project. Will it deliver the results you desire? If not, is this idea worth pursuing? Only you can decide. Tonight: Know when to relax and let go. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Your energy seems to soar. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need it to dive into your work, an artistic project or something that allows you to create and manifest. Otherwise, the frustration you experience could backĂ&#x201E;re and cause a problem. Tonight: Add more spice to your life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Someone you care about might be pressuring you. Most likely, this person wants you to do something that you have no interest in doing. You have been saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? in your own way, but this person is refusing to listen. Decide the best way to handle this situation. Tonight: Out late. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complain about people not appreciating your ideas if you are not sharing them. Start being more open about what you desire. Once you start opening up, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get feedback that is likely to encourage you. You might try being authentic more often. Tonight: Out and about.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be exhausted by everything that is occurring. However, you can deĂ&#x2026;ect any negativity or energy that feels off. Use caution with your Ă&#x201E;nances. You might be drawn to a situation and feel compelled to handle it. Tonight: Take care of yourself Ă&#x201E;rst. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Your natural style encourages agreement where there otherwise would be uproar. Stay on top of a situation that is a high priority. Only you can create what you really want here. Someone else can try, but he or she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as successful. Tonight: Go along with the moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You might want to slow down before you take a leap of faith. Consider the pros and cons of your decisions. Adrenaline runs high as you consider a new path. You are likely to head in that direction sooner rather than later. Tonight: Share exciting news with a trusted pal. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Once others get that you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to change your direction, they will want to join you. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blame them for wanting to have their ideas acknowledged, though. Your determination is clear. Sharing your vision will be important. Tonight: Hang out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Be willing to take a stand and let others decide whether to join you. You know that what you are doing has Ă&#x201E;nancial implications. You might wonder what others think. Be OK with any feedback or criticism you get. Tonight: A must appearance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Investigate other ways of viewing a problem or situation. You recognize how unique each personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision is. Much of what we see and say emerges from our backgrounds. Do your best to detach and take in the whole picture. You might be surprised! Tonight: Share with a loved one.

The Outlook
Alabama Supreme Court delays return of VictoryLand assets Cleanup Staff Reports Alex City Outlook
VictoryLand and its owner Milton McGregor shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold their breath waiting on the return of seized bingo machines and more than a quartermillion dollars in cash. The Alabama Supreme Court issued a stay to Montgomery Circuit Judge William Shashyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling ordering the return of VictoryLandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seized assets. The stay had been requested by the Office of Attorney General Luther Strange, and asked the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest court to allow the state to hold the assets until the appeals have been
finalized. The order came a week ahead of the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadline to return the devices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am pleased with the Alabama Supreme Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stay of the Circuit Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order concerning VictoryLand,â&#x20AC;? said Strange. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The high courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision will prevent the release of all illegal electronic bingo machines seized at VictoryLand until the Supreme Court is able to rule on the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal. It is important that the case be allowed to progress through the entire judicial process so the legality of electronic bingo at VictoryLand can be settled once and
for all.â&#x20AC;? The attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office in 2013 seized 1,615 electronic bingo machines and $260,000 in cash during a raid at VictoryLand. Shashy had dismissed the case and ordered the state to return the machines by Nov. 16. He said it was unfair to close one casino when others remained open. Eight justices agreed to stay the order as the state appeals the dismissal. The state has been in a long-running legal battle over the devices, which resemble slot machines.

County Commissioner John McKelvey headed a group that met in New Site Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a great turnout and we were able to do a lot of work around the Hillabee Creek Bridge,â&#x20AC;? McKelvey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had an entire dumpster from there alone. It was good to get that done.â&#x20AC;? In addition to the the lake, its shoreline and adjacent roadways, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cleanup also included portions of the new Harold Banks Canoe Trail from Horseshoe Bend to Jay Bird Creek on the Tallapoosa River.

END OF AN ERA
Reeltown’s O’Neal reflects on legendary coaching career Crimson Tide remain an elite program By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor
W
e were told the dynasty was over when Alabama lost earlier this year. Saban’s style is antiqued they touted. “Here Lies the Tide” is what they said. I must say, at the time it was hard to blame those naysayers. There was evidence of a death in late September; just no body when the investigators showed. Some then assumed Les Miles may have a lead on the corpse. Surely the Tigers could show once and for all that ‘Bama’s bones were buried. After all, LSU was walking into Bryant Denny Stadium Saturday with a swamp full of talent and motivation. The Tigers were playing to (potentially) move into the number one playoff spot. They were playing to solidify Leonard Fournette’s Heisman hopes. They were playing to practically sew up the SEC West and stop a four game losing streak to the Tide. LSU walked into Bryant Denny Stadium playing for all of those things. Then, about four hours later, they limped out. LSU is a very, very good team. Maybe even championship caliber. Alabama is just better. There is no shame in admitting that; it’s just a fact. By about 10:00 Saturday night the groans and moans about the Tide’s inclusion in the initial playoff rankings last week seemed rather….lame. Alabama is definitely a playoff worthy team. Yes, ‘Bama has flaws. More than a few, really. This isn’t a “team for the ages” or anything. The Tide even lost to Ole Miss. The same Ole Miss that lost to Florida and Memphis and – wow – Arkansas. But we should all know by now these games don’t happen in a vacuum and the transitive property doesn’t work in college football. Alabama is definitely one of the top four teams based on its resume` and performance. It’s foolish to suggest otherwise. In a sense, Alabama is a lot like its own stud running back, Derrick Henry: Big, daunting and sometimes laborious in nature. Usually more efficient than flashy. Not unstoppable, but it takes a lot to make that happen. Speaking of Henry, I want it to be known I still think Fournette is the best RB in the USA. The catch Saturday night was he went against a historically good UA front seven which is light years ahead of any he’s faced this season. Meanwhile, Henry goes against that squad every day in practice. That experience undoubtedly helped Henry trudge through the Tigers (and wet field) Saturday night. Fournette is better overall, he just wasn’t better Saturday. Back to the game and ‘Bama in general, it was a pleasant surprise to see several lesser ballyhooed players step up. Marlon Humphrey, Geno Matias-Smith and Tony Brown just to name three. With a tricky Mississippi State game this weekend and rejuvenated Auburn lurking in a few weeks, the Tide will need all of the help it can get. For now, though, ‘Bama reasserted itself as America’s college football target. The team may lose again this season, but it isn’t going anywhere near the grave anytime soon. Robinson is a sports columnist for The Outlook and president of the Lake Martin Bama Club.
When the clock hit zero during last week’s loss to Cleveland, it did not just mark the end of the Reeltown Rebels’ season. It marked the end of one of the state’s most legendary coaching careers. Though he flirted with the end last season, legendary Reeltown Coach Jackie O’Neal made it clear before the start of the 2015 season that this year would be his last. Thursday’s first round playoff game marked the last for O’Neal after 28 years as the Rebels’ head coach, a career that saw him finish with a 241-110 record and two state championships. Though the coaching career is over, Reeltown has been home for O’Neal for as long as he can remember, and it always will be. “It’s been home for so many years. I came from Wall Street back during integration and I didn’t know anything about Reeltown,” O’Neal said. “I came up here as an eighth grader and it kind of grew on me from there. I had a good career and went to Livingston University for four years. But I came back and decided to put something back into sports and education that I got out of it.” Upon his return, O’Neal went into secondary education, got certification and was hired by another legend in Coach Duane Webster as an assistant coach and junior high coach in 1978. And the rest, is history. “I knew a lot of the parents and kids and all and I was comfortable coaching there. I was able to have a good career,” O’Neal said. “The community and all those who supported me in every endeavor that I attempted to do as far as upgrading the facilities and sending me their kids every year to participate in sports gave us the opportunity to be a successful program. It’s no greater place to coach, as far as I’m concerned, than Reeltown.” As for which team was the greatest during his tenure at the head of that successful program, O’Neal said none stands above

the rest. He said that each team was a special part of his career. “I don’t really think that I had one per se because I had a lot of great ball clubs and each of them were unique in their own way,” O’Neal said. “I had speed ball clubs, I had clubs that were strong and big. I had ball clubs that were overachievers and I had ball clubs that were underachievers. So, they all have a special part in my heart because the kids always gave me anything I asked of them.” O’Neal holds the same sentiment regarding his players. He said that each who gave his effort was a great player for Reeltown. “The only thing I really asked of them was to give me your best effort. I can live with that,” O’Neal said. “I don’t have to have the superstars. I just have to have the kids that are going to give me everything that they can on every down. That’s how I built my ball clubs, really. You don’t have to be the biggest, fastest or the strongest because the kid that’s fighting the whole ball game is usually going to win the race. “Some times the kids that have all the talent are reluctant about working hard. So, I always
considered all of my kids like superstars.” O’Neal said being inducted into the Alabama High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame in 2012 was a special moment. It’s an honor he said was not one he expected to receive looking back. As a player, O’Neal said he set his aspirations on the pros, but the path he eventually walked is one he is truly proud of. “Getting into the hall of fame was really something special. You look at it when you’re a kid growing up where you had aspirations about doing certain things with your life,” O’Neal said. “With me, it was being a professional athlete because those were our heroes then. Then, as you get older you realize that’s a very small percentage of the American population that gets those breaks. If you don’t get that break, you have to have something else to do in life.” For O’Neal, that something was an opportunity to play a positive role in the lives of young students and athletes of his community. “My thing was to try and motivate kids to be the best that they can be. I think that a defining moment in my life was my
senior year in college when I tore up my ankle,” O’Neal said. “It took away my opportunity for me to go tryout with the Dallas Cowboys, but it also put me on the path to impact other people’s lives in a better way because I was able to put something back in the game through education and high school sports that I probably wouldn’t have done otherwise.” Though the next head football coach at Reeltown has yet to be determined, O’Neal said he will likely be involved in the process of finding a new leader for the program. But he said his advice to the next coach would not be to follow O’Neal’s path, but to forge his own program and be true to his players. “I think I will play a part in it. I think it will be needed for me to have an input in it because the next guy that comes in, it’s not my shoes that he’s got to fill – it’s his,” O’Neal said with a laugh. “He’s got to come in and set his own standards and make sure that’s what he goes by and that the kids are treated fairly and he gets the most out of the kids. The kids will play hard for you if they respect you. “Do it his way and treat the kids fair. If he is true to himself, treats the kids fair then everything else will fall in line.” While there are many great moments to reflect on during a 28-year career, at the moment O’Neal said raising the blue trophy for the first time will have to do. “The moment that stands out the most to me at this particular time was the state championship game in 2001 when we finally broke through after three tries,” O’Neal said. “We played for it with myself as head coach in 1991 and 1992 and lost backto-back to Hazlewood and then we lost to them again in 2000. But we broke through in 2001 to win the first one. That first one is always a big one because it makes you feel good when you see the smile on those kids’ faces and the hard work that they had put in to get there pay off.”
Wildcats set for trip to McAdory in second round playoff matchup By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor
After a dominating win last Thursday to open the Class 6A State Playoffs, the Benjamin Russell Wildcats are ready to hit the road in round two. The Wildcats (10-1) will travel to McCalla to face the McAdory Yellow Jackets (10-1) on Friday at 7 p.m. in round two of the 6A playoffs. Benjamin Russell Coach Danny Horn said the Yellow Jackets have a roster littered with athletes and sport one of the best defensive fronts the Wildcats have seen all season. “They’ve got very good team speed, they’re region champs and they’re a very good football team. Their region was the only region in the state where all four teams won this past week, so that tells you something about their region,” Horn said. “Their quarterback is really fast and can throw, and they’ve also got two really good receivers and a big running back. Their defense probably has the best defensive line we’ve seen other than Opelika.” Defensively, Horn said the Wildcats have to limit the big play and keep McAdory’s QB from scrambling outside the pocket, which has been one of the Yellow Jackets’ biggest strengths. “On offense, they make a lot of big plays because of their speed. They’ve got those good receivers and a quarterback that can scramble around and throw it 60 yards downfield,” Horn said. “Also, ain’t no telling how many running plays they broke from the line of scrimmage, so we’re going to have to prevent the big play.” And on offense, Horn said it will be important that the Wildcats control the line of scrimmage again, as they rushed for 394 yards last week. “Offensively, we’re going to have to do what we do, and that’s run the football,” Horn said. “We’re going to have to run

some time off the clock and throw when we have to. We also have to win the special teams battle. Sometimes, special teams get overlooked, but when you’ve got two good football teams then field position and special teams become bigger factors. “If you saw Alabama play Saturday, I think that is a good example of how important it is to win the line of scrimmage. I think last week we did a good job of winning the line of scrimmage on both sides, and if we can do that, we’ll increase our chance of winning for sure.” Following last week’s dominating 41-10 home win over Saraland, Horn said he believes that the same intensity coupled with good preparation could lead to another win. “We’re going to have to play with the same type of focus and the same type of intensity that we did last week,” Horn said. “If we can do that, we’ll be all right. During the playoffs, you have to play like that to win.
It was a big win for us, but the main thing I saw is that if we play with a lot of focus and intensity we can beat anybody. I’m convinced of that and I think we can, but we’re going to have to have a good week of practice and get mentally prepared and play well. “If we play like last week, I feel good about it. If we don’t, we’ll be home. At this stage of the game, every team is good and you have to be at your best.” Horn said the Wildcats are thankful for their strong fan support and hope that the fans will join Benjamin Russell again on the road trip in their continued quest for a state championship. “We thank the fans for all of the great support we’ve had this year. We had a great crowd Thursday and we want another good crowd following us to Birmingham this Friday,” Horn said. “It’s about an hour and 15 minutes away. It’s important for the kids to see the fans and that gets them pumped up.”
