Rain, strong winds on the way By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

Tallapoosa County has the potential to see rainfall and strong winds to usher in the month of November today as a storm front comes across Alabama. Meteorologist Daniel Martin with the Birmingham office of the National Weather Service said there is a trough in the upper levels of the atmosphere helping steer this storm into Alabama, while a lower level pressure system is coupling

with it to bring a cold front into the state after the storm passes by. This storm has the potential to create thunderstorms, though Martin said the chance for this is stronger closer to Montgomery and areas south of the capital. “We are at the lower end of the severe threat scale,” Martin said. Tallapoosa County EMA Director Jason Moran said the threat level for this storm changes within the county itself, with the Alexander City area being under a

marginal threat from the storm. However, the threat goes from marginal to slight in between Dadeville and Reeltown. “We could see winds of up to 60 (mph), and we cannot rule out the possibility of a spin-up tornado,” Moran said. Moran said the main line of the storm is, as of Wednesday afternoon, projected to come through the area between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Along with the strong winds, there is also the chance of rainfall of around 1 inch. Martin said there is the possibility some areas could see some

ponding from the rain, while Moran said low-lying areas may see some flash flooding. While today’s storm may not be as intense as others, Moran reminded everyone to stay weather aware and have ways to get all pertinent information, including Tallapoosa Alert. Moran encouraged everyone who has not signed up for the service to do so, while those who may need assistance in signing up can call the EMA office at 256-825-1078 to get registered.

St. James Episcopal holding fall bazaar By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

St. James Episcopal Church in Alexander City will be a hive of activity Saturday morning as the church holds its annual fall bazaar, selling a variety of goods to raise money for the many outreach programs the church is involved with. “The bazaar starts at 9 a.m. and will go until noon,” church member Jan Jung said. “It has been going for the past five or six years since it started back up. It has evolved into something bigger and better every year.” Held inside the fellowship hall at St. James, there will be fresh-baked goods, frozen soups, jellies, other kitchen items and potentially even some homemade candies available at the bazaar, according to Jung. There will also be handmade pottery, ornaments, Christmas décor, handmade crosses and angels and even larger woodwork items. There will be inexpensive items and goods See BAZAAR • Page 5

John McKelvey and Frank Tapley are running for District 3 commissioner in Tallapoosa County and will appear on Tuesday’s ballot.

Four years ago John McKelvey was a newcomer to the political arena, but not to the public eye. McKelvey was in law enforcement and dealing with McKelvey public on a daily basis, but saw a need in his native Tallapoosa County and ran for county commissioner in District 3. After being elected as a Republican in 2014, McKelvey set to work with a plan and hopes voters will support him again Tuesday. See MCKELVEY • Page 3

DEAR ABBY: I have a coworker I work closely with. Almost every day I hear her throwing up in the bathroom. It happens like clockwork. It’s gotten to the point where I’m extremely concerned. Although it has been going on for years, it seems to have gotten worse. I don’t feel comfortable enough to bring this up to her, but something has to happen. I’m afraid I’ll embarrass her, make her quit, etc., but her life is more important than that. We are both in management positions, but I am not her superior (in case that changes your advice about what to do or who to tell). Do I mention this to HR? Our boss runs his mouth a lot, and I don’t know if I can say anything without it getting around. -- WORRIED FOR HER DEAR WORRIED: I wonder if anyone else you work with has noticed what you have. Talk to someone in HR and explain that you’re con-

DEAR ABBY Advice

cerned that a fellow employee (unnamed) may suffer from a life-threatening illness and need help. Point out the time the person goes into the bathroom “like clockwork,” and let HR try to get her the medical intervention she so desperately appears to need. Throwing up repeatedly can result in damage to the digestive tract. DEAR ABBY: I am a young teenage dancer. My friends in dance class are wonderful except for one thing. Four of them hide in our dressing rooms, bathroom and anywhere else they won’t be seen to smoke e-cigarettes. My one close friend asked me once if I wanted to try it.

When I said no, she knew better than to press further. Other friends keep telling me it’s fun. I know if I did it and my parents found out, they would kill me. Plus, I don’t want to get caught up in that deadly cycle. What should I do? Tell my teacher and risk losing friends or leave it alone? After all, it’s only hurting them, right? -BAFFLED AT BALLET DEAR BAFFLED: You are an intelligent young lady to recognize that “sampling” tobacco products can lead to addiction. Good for you! When the government, in its wisdom, finally clamped down on the tobacco companies in an attempt to prevent yet another generation from becoming addicted, I thought that would be the end of it. Imagine my consternation when they came out with flavored vaping fluids to seduce more young people. It’s shameless! Rather than tell the teacher, talk to your parents about

what’s going on so they can quietly mention it to the parents of the other girls. DEAR ABBY: Why has the word “veggies” replaced “vegetables”? When people say “veggies,” to me it sounds like they are talking to a child. -- GROWNUP EATER IN GEORGIA DEAR EATER: It’s probably because “vegetables” has at least three syllables and people have a tendency to shorten words that have more than one syllable. It may also be because parents think it’s a way of making them appear more palatable to small children.

STORY TIME Photos by Donald Campbell / The Outlook Mamie’s Place Children’s Library in Alexander City hosted a special Halloween story time Wednesday morning. Area children were welcome to come to the library in their costumes for a special Halloween story, ‘The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything,’ read by one of the librarians. There were also special holidaythemed treats for visitors to enjoy and Halloween music was played over the speakers. As the children prepared to leave, the librarians had small bags of candy prepared for story time guests.

Tapley will mark his name come Tuesday. He says the commission made some tough decisions in that time. “We got the industrial park in Dadeville,” Tapley said. “It was a close call and I was the deciding vote.” Tapley believes it was one of the best things the commission did in his tenure despite some thinking at the time it was the wrong thing. “Look at it now,” Tapley said. “Yes they (industries) get abatements but not on education. Look what it brings into schools for taxes. Look at the jobs.”

McKelvey “I have put a plan in place and I’m following that plan,” McKelvey said. “A plan in place is success. It is not always politically correct to go by the plan, but it is always the right thing to do.” McKelvey said his plan included purchases of equipment with discretionary funds and 26 roads in District 3 have been resurfaced thanks to his plan. “My idea is to be as fair as I can,” he said. “We have touched roads in every community in District 3. I am trying to be fair across the district.” McKelvey said he hopes to resurface another 25-30 roads if reelected. McKelvey will be listed as a Republican on Tuesday’s ballot and faces Frank Tapley, who will be on the ballot as an independent. McKelvey sees funding in general as an issue. “We have a problem with many zeros,” he said. “We are doing the best we can with what we have.” One of the roads in District 3 McKelvey wishes he could do something with is Camp ASCCA Road. “The estimate is $1.3 to $1.6 million,” he said. “We have asked for (federal and state) help, but keep getting turned down, but we will keep trying.” McKelvey said if elected he hopes to continue to help youth programs, senior centers and the schools as much as he can, but also wants to stay prepared for the future. “We also have to look out for the county as a whole,” McKelvey said. The idea is if there is an emergency like a tornado, the county would have to respond to it with all its resources, but McKelvey also wants to keep funds to help in other ways too. “I am also trying to keep it so we have funds for

Tapley is also proud of other things he did in his tenure. “I built a new county shop when they said it couldn’t be done,” he said. “They said it would cost $100,000. I did it for $50,000.” Tapley explained he and county crews helped finished the buildings heating and air conditioning and other things like plumbing and electrical. “I saved the county money,” he said. “I saved them more than they paid me.” Tallapoosa County was on some lean times for part

of Tapley’s tenure. “We just did what we could do,” Tapley said. “I am proud to have done what I did with what money I had.” Tapley was no stranger to public office before being elected to the commission in 1998. He was elected to the Alexander City City Council in 1996 before resigning to serve on the county commission. Tapley says he is running as an independent Republican. He will be listed on Tuesday’s ballot as an independent and is facing Republican incumbent John McKelvey

who defeated Tapley four years ago. Tapley explained he understands the county faces issues with funding things like roads from his time on the commission but has no definite plans for what to do. “I have been out four years,” Tapley said. “You really don’t know till you get in there in see for yourself.” Tapley said he is willing to explore any funding opportunities. “I will look at anything,” he said. “I try to talk to as many people as I can. Whichever way the

surprises,” he said. “The fire departments will sometimes apply for a grant to see if they can get it. Then they get it and have to try to raise the funds.” McKelvey wants to use some of the “emergency” funds in his plan to help with the matching grant funds. McKelvey is now retired from law enforcement after 27 years of service and hopes voters will help reelect him to keep his plan going. “It’s working,” he said. “If reelected, I will continue the effort. If given the chance, we will see it develop into something never seen before.”

majority of my district wants to vote, I will vote that way.” Tapley whether elected or not said he will speak to anyone anytime. “I will answer any

question any time,” he said. “I won’t ignore you. I might have to tell you I don’t know but I will try to get you an answer but you may not like the answer though.”

Take advantage of meet and greets next week

he Alexander City Board of Education is gearing up to make its selection on the next superintendent for the city school system. With the assistance of the Alabama Association of School Boards, the field has been narrowed to five candidates, all of who bring plenty of experience to the table. Next week, the school board will get to meet these candidates on a more personal level as all five hopefuls will be touring each of the schools, becoming better acquainted with the system they will be overseeing should they be hired. There will also be the opportunity for each candidate to meet city government officials, representatives of the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce, Central Alabama Community College and Russell Medical. Before each candidate goes into an interview with the board to wrap up the day, there will be a block of time set aside to meet with members of the public. From 4:30 until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at the board of education building, the public will have the chance to ask questions and learn more about all of the candidates for this position. We encourage everyone to take this chance to get to know each superintendent hopeful better. The position of superintendent is an important one, as he or she has to take charge and make sure many moving parts are all working as they should. By going and asking questions and learning more about the five individuals, we are letting our opinions be shared again before the final decision is made. So, next week during the meet and greet session with each of these five candidates, take advantage of the opportunity. Get to know the people who are in the running for this important position. Understand their background and their plans for the future of the city school system. The city school board may make the final decision, but we still have the chance to have our voices heard one more time on this matter.

The greatest political evil

ast week I wrote about George Washington’s warning that political parties would ferment all kinds of problems for Americans. John Adams, second president of the United States, issued his own warning: “There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.” Media classified three attacks last week as politically, racially or religiously motivated. Officials have arrested one man for sending at least 13 bombs to leading Democrats. Another man was arrested for killing two black customers in a Kentucky Kroger’s store after trying to break into a black church. The man is white. And, another man was shot by police and subdued after he went on a shooting spree in a Jewish Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, killing 11 people and wounding at least five others. So far, law enforcement officials have not identified any other conspirators or perpetrators involved in any of these three attacks. All appear to be “lone wolf” attacks.

s there a more despised word among Republicans than “environmentalist”? For many GOP voters, the term conjures up a mental image of tree-hugging socialists hell-bent on regulating our country back to the Stone Age. That’s a shame. The GOP actually boasts a proud history of environmental activism, one grounded in the fundamentally conservative notion that natural resources ought to be preserved. It’s time for Republicans to reclaim that heritage. Democrats might be the face of modern environmentalism — but Republicans started the movement. Teddy Roosevelt was the driving force behind the national park and forest system. Richard Nixon created both the EPA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Republican senators voted in favor of the Clean Air Act, the landmark bill to curb air pollution. Ronald Reagan once exclaimed “What is a conservative after all but one who conserves, one who is committed to protecting . . . our rivers and mountains, our plains and meadows and forests . . . this is what we leave to our children.” One threat to our environment is urban sprawl driven by population growth.

More work on sewer lines in Alex City Gulf Coast Undergroundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wayne Lemley watches video from a remote camera traveling through a section of 8-inch concrete sewer pipe in the Parrish Hills subdivision Wednesday afternoon. Lemley was watching a final cleaning of the line. In some cases roots were removed. All this is done before Gulf Coast Underground installs a liner giving the line an extended life while also sealing it off from storm water coming in. As the camera passes joints in the pipe and other breaks, ground water could be seen leaking into the pipe.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might not intend to hit the extremes you could reach today. Perhaps you have been holding in your feelings for too long. You will Ă&#x201E;nd that your irritation builds. Try to discharge negative energy before the problem becomes bigger. Tonight: Enjoy a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be in a situation where you must deal with several diÉ&#x2030;cult people, and might feel as if you have no other option. Someone close to you has been extraordinarily diÉ&#x2030;cult for several months. Deal with this issue now. Tonight: Listen to a dear friend. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could feel overwhelmed, as someone insists on approaching you and clearing the air. You might have diÉ&#x2030;culty staying calm when dealing with this person, as he or she knows how to get under your skin. Try to work through your intense feelings. Tonight: Get some exercise. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might have your hands full dealing with a loved one over an issue that involves both of you. Try not to get triggered. If you do, recognize what in you gets charged that way and why. You will Ă&#x201E;nd one-on-one relating to be more successful at present. Tonight: Out on the town. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might hit a disagreement and Ă&#x201E;nd that you are a lot angrier than you had thought. Try to tame your tone and your words, because the other party has similar feelings. Later in the day, you are more likely to have a reasonable conversation to resolve a problem. Tonight: Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes.â&#x20AC;? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your nerves could be fried from having too much to do. More and more to-dos are dumped on your plate. Be willing to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? to the next few requests. Consider canceling some appointments or engagements. Tonight: Listen to a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, and opt for

closeness. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your friends surround you. You are likely to join them whenever your pace slows down, perhaps after several meetings. You have a lot on your mind. Relaxing with a friend seems to help you let go of recent stress. Tonight: Consider getting into weekend mode early. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have a way and a style about you that draws many people toward you. Today, however -- whether intentionally or not -- you could trigger quite a disagreement, especially if someone you are supposed to respect becomes diÉ&#x2030;cult. Tonight: Be especially gracious! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could feel unusually drained and exhausted because of a recent heavy conversation that started out as an argument. You certainly will have a lot to think about over the next few days. You see yourself and someone else quite diÉ&#x2C6;erently as a result. Tonight: Do your thing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Connect with someone you have a lot of dealings with, especially those involving money. You might want to divulge some private information about a Ă&#x201E;nancial matter. You appreciate the diversity of opinions that surround you. Tonight: Make the most of the night with loved ones. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You need to take charge of your mood. The tension between you and a close friend could be very strong, if you are not careful. Try to detach and not get triggered. You will Ă&#x201E;nd the other parties involved to be more responsive if you do that. Tonight: Enjoy the admiration of a partner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Reach out to someone at a distance or an expert who is always full of great ideas. Decide to brainstorm with this person as long as you both deem necessary. The less you discuss your anger or resentment for the moment, the better. Tonight: Digest all the feedback you get.

Dadeville Elementary students learn how to be heroes

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

The Dadeville Elementary School gym was transformed Friday afternoon into a gathering place for superheroes as the school wrapped up its Red Ribbon Week series of events. While students were dressed as their favorite superheroes, they had another special hero on hand to provide entertainment and a valuable lesson. Titan, one of the members of the Omegaman and Friends family of superheroes, spoke to the students about making the school a bully-free place and encouraging them to make the right decision every day. “We travel all over the country, talking to kids everywhere about making good choices,” Titan said. “You can be a hero by making good choices. You can be a dream maker or a dream breaker.” One of the key things Titan stressed to the students was that, no matter what happens in life, they need to hang on to their dreams and not stop chasing them. “You can’t quit. You can’t give up,” Titan said. “People are going to come along and say bad things to try and get you to let go of your dreams. You can’t let go. Reach deep down to pull that hero out of you.” This all starts with making good choices, he said. While people will make bad choices from time to time, Titan said the problems caused by making bad choices can be eliminated by not continuing to make bad choices and not letting them get out of hand. “It’s what you do with your bad choices,” Titan said. “If you don’t do something when your problem is small, it will grow. If it had never started small, it could never grow. If you don’t start small doing good though, you can’t grow there either.” To go with his talk about making good choices, Titan provided additional entertainment by performing feats of strength for the children, including breaking a baseball bat over his leg. Reminding the students they don’t have to carry the bad choices they made in the past with them, he tore a “book of bad choices” (four elementary school math workbooks taped together) in half. Stressing the importance of hanging on to your dreams, he had a student hold one end of a towel before lifting the student off the ground, as well as lifting a steel bar with a student hanging on to each end. He later bent the steel bar with his teeth to show that, no matter how many times someone gets turned around by making bad choices, they can always get right back where they were going by making good choices. In addition, Titan also explained ways the children can be heroes by making their school bully-free. He briefly touched on what a bully is, but spent more of the assembly talking about ways students can stop bullying if they see it, rather than just being a bystander. “If you see someone who is bullying, tell an adult,” Titan said. “If you’re scared to go alone, have a friend go with you.” Not only should the students want to prevent physical bullying, Titan said verbal or emotional bullying can be just as bad. One thing to remember, he told the students, is that if something is not a

helpful or kind thing to say, don’t say it at all. “You all have so much power you don’t even realize you have,” Titan said. “We’ve got to look out for each other. We don’t need bullies, we need buddies.” Wrapping up his presentation, Titan had the students recite a very important reminder, helping the children remember how they are winners, dream makers and can be bully free. “I love you guys,” Titan said. “You all are awesome.” “This is the first time we’ve had him here,” Dadeville Elementary School Counselor Amy Taylor said. “I think he did a great job.” There was no doubt Taylor was correct, as students leaving the gym made sure to give Titan a high-five or a hug before returning to class. While Titan and the rest of the Omegaman team are almost constantly traveling from school to school, being able to remind children everywhere about making good choices makes it all worthwhile. “Every time we’re in a school, it’s worth it,” he said. “When these students make good choices, everything falls into place.” Donald Campbell / The Outlook

Kiwanians learn about Child Advocacy Center county governments and a multitude of local churches. Along with explaining what the center is and what it does, Burgess did mention some things the agency would like to have as she responded to one club member’s question. “We would love to get our porch painted,” Burgess said. “It is a small deck, but it would go a long way. We would also like to get some plants for our planter boxes.” Club members also asked how many of the cases taken on by the center go to court, as well as how many cases the agency sees during an average year. “Of the cases we investigate, 60 percent of them we find cause for them to go to court, while around half of those go all the way through the process,” Burgess said. “Right now, I think we will be involved with 320 cases this year. Seventy percent of those come from Tallapoosa County.”

Less than two blocks away from where the Dadeville Kiwanis Club regularly meets is the Tri-County Children’s Advocacy Center. Thursday, center director Jackie Burgess was the guest speaker at the Dadeville Kiwanis Club to help members better understand what the agency does. The Tri-County Children’s Advocacy Center services Chambers, Randolph and Tallapoosa Counties, assisting children in abusive situations by giving them the help they need through counseling, conducting forensic interviews and getting children ready for the process of going to court. “We offer counseling to children in an abusive situation,” Burgess said “We also teach body safety classes and do court prep.” The center also offers a class to elementary school students, SCAN (Stop Child Abuse and Neglect), while it is beginning to offer support groups to parents of the children the agency is helping. The center has also begun offering a medical exam program, where children who may have been abused will be able to take their medical exams closer to home, rather than having to go to Birmingham or other places for the service. Reminding children how loved they are, Burgess mentioned how the center is involved with the Christmas Hope project, where children receiving counseling through the agency get gifts at Christmastime.

Jackie Burgess with the Tri-County Children’s Advocacy Center explains all the center does for children to bring child abuse cases to trial and help prevent future cases of abuse with the Dadeville Kiwanis Club last Thursday afternoon.

One interesting fact Burgess shared with the Kiwanians is how Alabama was a pioneer in providing for child advocacy, with the world headquarters of the Children’s Advocacy Center located in Huntsville. To offer the services it does, Burgess

said the center relies fairly heavily on area police departments for funding. Additional money comes from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs, the Alabama Children’s Advocacy Center, the Lake Martin Area United Way, city and

secondary on both sides of the ball. Dontaye Gilder is a ninthgrader, and although Armani Gamble is a sophomore, he’s new to the sport this year. Thomas said the biggest problem Coosa has faced this season is its inexperience and limited knowledge of the game. “The biggest thing is, can they think on their feet?” Thomas said. “They haven’t played so they don’t have the game in their mind. They don’t have a football mind. They’re just so new to the game.” Despite that, Thomas is looking for a solid effort tonight and is hoping the Cougars can finally put all the pieces to the puzzle together. He said if they can play like they did against Reeltown, there’s a good chance they’ll come out on top, and he still hasn’t lost confidence. “I’ve gone into every game, and I wasn’t blowing smoke, but I believed that we were going to win,” Thomas said. “That’s how you gotta think in any sport, and I try to instill that in them. I gave them this example: if I challenge Noel (Jones) in basketball, do y’all think Noel could beat me? They all said yes, but I said, ‘Well, if he beats me, I say let’s play again,’ because I always believe I can win.” Now it’s just a matter of getting his players to believe it.
