City to purchase land at airport for future development By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
The City of Alexander City will soon be the owner of nearly 64 acres at the T.C. Russell Airport thanks to the action of the city council at Monday’s meeting. “One side touches the airport and the other side touches SL Alabama,â€? council president Tommy Spraggins said. “A lot of clearing has already been done,â€? community development director Al Jones said. “A lot of site work has already been done. It is really a good price and is great for economic development. It could be anything. It could be some part of an aircraft repair or manufacturing.â€? The city will pay $192,000 plus $1,905 in closing costs to acquire the property. It is at the south end of the runway and could be used for any number of things. About 10 to 12 acres of the 63.97 acres has already been cleared. Other council members were also See COUNCIL • Page 3

Carmen Rodgers and Amy Passaretti / The Outlook
Volunteers with Alabama Power and Wind Creek State Park unload some of the trash that was collected during Renew Our Rivers on Friday. In all, an estimated 17 tons of trash, old tires and other debris was collected.
This weekend was a great time to clean up — the lake that is. Several volunteers, along with the Lake Martin Resource Association, gathered at Wind Creek State Park and surrounding areas to continue the process of cleaning the shorelines of Lake Martin in the ninth annual Renew Our Rivers cleanup. “All of this (debris) is only coming off of a small area,â€?

City tears down old Lunch Bunch House By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Cliff Williams / The Outlook
Crews with City of Alexander City Public Works take down the old Lunch Bunch House last week. The city was able to take it down like it has many structures throughout city through an ordinance that has been on the books for at least 20 years.
The Lunch Bunch House on South Central Avenue was a part of history for many families in the area. It has hosted teas, wedding receptions and other family events, as well as serving as a lunch spot for some. Last week public works crews from Alexander City took the building down and disposed of it of it at the inert landfill to help St.
James Episcopal Church make way for a new nave, parking lot and entrance to the church. The work is allowed under an ordinance that has been on the books for more than 20 years and is used often by property owners in Alexander City. “This is a dilapidated structure program,â€? Alexander City community development director Al Jones said. “The city has had the program about 26 years.â€? See LUNCH • Page 3

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have three teenagers -- 18, 16 and 14. My wife cooks for them every day or buys them fast food. I always eat leftovers, which the fridge is full of. Our children refuse to eat leftovers or cook for themselves, and they insist on having a freshly cooked meal every day. Occasionally, my wife needs to work late and asks me to buy fast food for the children. I respond that I’ll gladly cook for them or buy them fast food, but first they have to finish the leftovers in the fridge. My wife gets upset and accuses me of not caring about our children. Who is right? -- LEFTOVERS IN THE EAST DEAR LEFTOVERS: I have a news flash for you. At the ages of 18, 16 and 14, your kids are no longer children; they are teenagers approaching adulthood.

No, they shouldn’t be having fast food instead. If you and your wife care about your progeny, start assigning each of them an evening in which they prepare at least one dish, while you make sure they know how to do it. Stop arguing and start parenting! DEAR ABBY: My fiance dumped me three months ago. We were together 4 1/2 years and engaged for almost a year. He started dating someone else the day after he broke up with me. He said

Strong winds in forecast today By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
Stronger winds and the chance of a spin-up tornado may strike Tallapoosa County in the early morning hours if the current forecast for the area holds. “The current forecast shows this storm will be moving through our area between 5 and 9 a.m.,” Tallapoosa County EMA Director Jason Moran said. “The most concerning part of it is the potential for some strong straight-line winds and the possibility of a tornado.” Some of the latest information from the National Weather Service forecasts the strongest winds and greatest chance for a tornado will be over northwest Alabama, with

winds potentially reaching up to 70 mph. Moran said this is not expected to be a significant rain event, with current projections showing no more than 1 inch of rain to fall across the area. This will instead be mostly a wind event, though Moran said it will weaken as it crosses Alabama and will not be as strong over Tallapoosa County as it was when it entered the state. “I encourage everyone to remain weather aware and have multiple ways to get your weather information,” Moran said. “I encourage everyone to consider including Tallapoosa Alert as one of those sources.

Lunch Jones explained the work can be done if it has a public good serving several or many people. “It has to serve a public good,” Jones said. “If it helps rid a neighborhood of a structure that could bring property values down, it fits the program. If the structure is not financially salvageable to repair and would become run down, it might fit.” Jones said the program has been used to take down numerous structures across the city in the past two plus decades to help eliminate drug activity, giving places for people to hide and for economic development. “If you have a potential developer or industry coming to visit, dilapidated structures are not a good thing for them,” Jones said. “They might think if you are not taking care of things, what do you have to offer them?

If you’re on the fence, consider our votes
W
e feel like every American citizen should go to the polls and have a say in who governs our city, our county, our state and our country today. If you have already decided who you think is the best candidate in a race, we believe it is your duty to vote for that candidate. However, if you are undecided, we would like to suggest you consider the endorsements below in making up your mind. The Tallapoosa Publishers editorial board discussed and came to unanimous agreement on each of these endorsements. We applaud each person who is running for office – that’s a tough emotional job and just plain hard work. We thank all the candidates for their desire to serve the public, their courage to run for office and their effort in this campaign. A number of these candidates are unopposed today. While we did not list all the unopposed candidates, we encourage you to take the time to vote for them in case of a last minute write-in campaign. And we also would like to say among the unopposed are some of our best public servants. We would like to mention two we feel go above and beyond their job descriptions and provide exemplary service to our community: Tallapoosa County Commissioner Steve Robinson and Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett. In one contested race we have endorsed both candidates. For Tallapoosa County Commission District 1, T.C. Coley, Jr. and Mark Lamborne are both highly qualified and we feel both would do a good job as commissioner. Coley’s long experience as a commissioner, having served five consecutive terms, speaks for itself and there is a reason he has won that post again and again. Lamborne is a man we respect greatly and is a hard-working, involved civic leader who we believe would make an excellent commissioner.

Those who love America are Jewish now
A
t my hotel in Tampa, as a graduate student attending a conference, I was accosted by a young man who eyed me suspiciously. “You are a Jew,” he announced. “Actually, I am not,” I replied, though my black fedora, black blazer, black pants, white shirt and beard led friends in college to call me “Rabbi” as a nickname. He glared at me. “I know you are Jewish,” he replied. “You smell Jewish,” he spat. As we struggle as a nation to respond to the Tree of Life synagogue massacre in Pittsburgh, I am reminded by the words of President Barack Obama. In 2016, he spoke at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, where he had just participated in a special ceremony honoring Americans and Poles for saving Jews during World War II. “An attack on any faith is an attack on all of our faiths,” he told the audience. He told the story of Master Sgt. Roddie Edmonds, locked away in a Nazi POW Camp during World War II. When given the order to separate the Jewish soldiers from their fellow U.S. captives, Edmonds refused, declaring “We are all Jews.” Fearful of retribution from the American armies, the Germans decided not to shoot. Obama’s not alone in his support of Jewish people. Leaders of both political
JOHN TURES Columnist parties, in the past, have taken a tough stand against attacks upon Jews. As President Ronald Reagan said in a speech to Temple Hillel in 1984, “All of us here today are descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, sons and daughters of the same God. I believe we are bound by faith in our God, by our love for family and neighborhood, by our deep desire for a more peaceful world, and by our commitment to protect the freedom which is our legacy as Americans.” Reagan continued “You know, when you talk about human life, I think that means seeing that the immeasurable pain of the Holocaust is never dehumanized, seeing that its meaning is never lost on this generation or any future generation, and, yes, seeing that those who take our place understand: never again.” I wish it really were “never again.” But the Pittsburgh shooter got plenty of inspiration by the modern sources of hate, perfectly willing to tolerate another mass killing to satisfy their thirst for political advantage. And it’s not the pathetic explanation
Kellyanne Conway gave, where she claimed “late night talk show hosts poking fun at religion” fueled the killings. One can disagree with George Soros’ support for Medicaid expansion or Michael Bloomberg’s gun control measures. But when some networks and sites falsely accuse such men of financially supporting a caravan from Honduras, simultaneously packed full of gangsters, Arab terrorists, and infectious diseases, it’s easy to see how such lies could motivate a shooter obsessed with such “invaders” to go online and rant on the alt-right site “Gab” and target the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), first in posts, and then with bullets. Soros is used by the far right as the Jewish boogeyman the same way Nazis used the name “Rothschild” as conspiracy theory and excuse for so many attacks. But for those of us who reject such hate and bigotry, as Obama Democrats and Reagan Republicans, and independents who reject such anti-religious hate, let us all be like Master Sgt. Edmonds and say “We are all Jews” too. John A. Tures is a professor of political science at LaGrange College in LaGrange, Georgia. He can be reached at jtures@ lagrange.edu.

tanding outside the window of my truck, a man is holding a bowl of Halloween candy. A large motorcycle rally is in town, the island flooding with chrome and a constant deep rumble. “Here, please take some,” he said. He is friendly, but with a hint of desperation to be separated from the colorful bowl of treats. Unclaimed candies from Halloween, no matter how small the colorful packages appear to the eyes, turn radioactive to adults – the mere proximity a threat to contributing to expanding waistlines. We strike up a conversation. He is working detailing motorcycles in the corner of a narrow parking lot along the water. His disposition is sunny, matching the sky above. Across the road, incoming waves twinkle as if a bag of children’s decorative glitter dances across the surface. The day is much brighter than the night he came to town. “I’d parked my truck for the night,” he said. “Then the storm came through, flipped it over. Totaled the eight bikes I’d brought.” His voice was even in tone, almost as if speaking about someone else’s experience. There was a disap-
LEONARD WOOLSEY Columnist pointment in his voice – but a disappointment absent of anger. He shrugged his shoulders, pushing the movement back into the past. “Figured I was already down here. I might as well hang around and do something.” We talked through the window about how he’d once owned a company selling detailing polish. He proudly held up a bottle for me to see. But what struck me most was his total acceptance of his circumstances. What had happened had happened. Nothing on his part would have stopped the high-winds from coming to town. Maybe, he admitted, he could’ve moved the bikes out of the trailer, but he didn’t. His bad, so the saying goes. Two Kit Kat bars moved from his bowl and into my truck. But he’d given me much more than two pieces of candy. What he’d really shared me was a reminder of how to deal with situa-
tions we cannot expect to control in life. Here was a man, polishing rag in hand and eight motorcycles mangled and twisted in a trailer, with a smile on his face. What was done was done. What he controlled, he demonstrated, was the now. To him, and the success he’d found in life – the one led by a positive attitude – saturated his being like an inland marsh during high tide. Everyone gets upset or mad from time to time. But what separates people seems to be their ability to successfully control the moment, somehow putting the proverbial genie back into a bottle without creating lasting damage. Careless words used in anger or emotional decisions made without thought can linger uncomfortably afterward – serving as stubborn reminders long after the original moment has passed. Candy in the truck, we laughed, wishing each other a good day. But pulling out into traffic it occurred to me that for him, that was already a given.

The Wetumpka Herald
PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) As you face upheaval of all types, a caring attitude could make all the diÉ&#x2C6;erence. Because you and others are oÉ&#x2C6;-kilter right now, you might not be able to handle all of the problems surrounding you. Be open to suggestions. The unexpected marks your day. Tonight: Be a duo. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Defer to a loved one or dear friend. You might not be as calm and steady as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to be, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not as oÉ&#x2C6;-kilter as you might think you are, either. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve changed over the past year, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making adjustments accordingly. Tonight: Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to an intriguing oÉ&#x2C6;er. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Pace yourself. You have a lot of ground to cover. This observation might pertain to several diÉ&#x2C6;erent areas of your life. You have gained insight into what holds you back. You can choose to make a change or stay in the same rut. Communication Ă&#x2026;ourishes. Tonight: Get a project done. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your creativity emerges, allowing you to more easily handle a diÉ&#x2030;cult problem that comes forward. You might not have given much thought to this situation, which certainly is new to you. Trust your ability to Ă&#x201E;nd your way through this matter. Tonight: Let the fun begin. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to avoid a personal situation that could inĂ&#x2026;uence your professional life as well. You would be well-advised to keep work and play separate. A person from a distance could give you some helpful feedback. Listen to what a friend has to share. Tonight: Close to home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out to a neighbor or family member. What you hear could be startling and might force you to rethink your position. Know how much is enough to succeed and decide what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to work with. A strong sense of direction will help you. Tonight: Accept an oÉ&#x2C6;er.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Be aware of the costs of proceeding as you have been. You could feel out of whack with the outcome, especially if you have spent too much too quickly. Make sure that your eÉ&#x2C6;orts are in line with your needs and abilities. Tonight: Join a friend or two and enjoy a favorite pastime. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have put in an extraordinary eÉ&#x2C6;ort to get where you are. At this point, you can stand back some and observe. News comes forward that could force you to slow down and handle a personal matter Ă&#x201E;rst. Know that you will get the results you desire. Tonight: As you like it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be more reserved than you have been in the past. How you deal with someone could be very diÉ&#x2C6;erent as a result. Take your time processing any comments. Why do certain qualities irritate you? When do you remember Ă&#x201E;rst being irritated by them? Tonight: Do some soul searching. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Focus on adjusting your mental process. Could you be projecting too much of yourself onto a loved one? Detach, and take a hard look at how you interact with others. Expect more success from working with others in meetings rather than independently. Tonight: Let it all hang out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others turn to you for your vision and understanding. Clearly, you have a unique perspective. Remain more sensitive to where others are coming from. Choose your words with care. Your vision of possibilities is as unique as you are. Lead by example. Tonight: Out late. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your emotions become apparent to others. Some people are shocked by how you handle certain situations and by what bothers you. Tune in to what you want to have happen, and lead by example. Do not lose your sensitivity or compassion. Tonight: Look beyond the obvious.

Russell Library holding annual â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Food for Finesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; event By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
As the holiday season approaches, the Adelia M. Russell Library and Mamieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Library are offering patrons the chance to erase their fines while also helping those in need have a nicer holiday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started our annual â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Food for Finesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; event Thursday, and it will run until Dec. 15,â&#x20AC;? Russell Library director Amy Huff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way for our
patrons to do good and cover their overdue fines at the same time.â&#x20AC;? The library has been doing this for at least the past four to five years, according to Huff. Each year has proven beneficial for everyone, with patrons having their library fines forgiven, while local food banks receive valuable goods to hand out to their clientele. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive supported the Tallapoosa Christian Crisis Center, while The Salvation Army has also received assistance through the library food drive in the past.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always watch and see where the need is greatest,â&#x20AC;? Huff said. Huff said the library will accept any non-perishable food item as part of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Food for Finesâ&#x20AC;? program, as well as paper products like paper plates and paper towels. Patrons who do not have any outstanding fines are also welcome to donate, as the library is in a central location, a fairly easy location to drop goods off at. There are currently three large plastic tubs located in the library buildings. One
can be found at Mamieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place, one is located on the ground floor of the Adelia M. Russell Library and the third is on the Russell Library main floor. Everything collected before Thanksgiving will be taken to the food bank prior to that holiday, while everything brought in between the end of November and Dec. 15 will be taken in time for the Christmas holiday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always get a good response for this,â&#x20AC;? Huff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is doing something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely needed in our community.â&#x20AC;?

Volunteers collect trash during the ninth annual Renew Our Rivers cleanup.
Local volunteers have been at work for weeks, walking the shorelines and bagging bottles, cans, plastic and other debris that had settled along the shores of Lake Martin. Local organizations, such as Alabama Power, Wind Creek State Park and Lake Martin Dock Company volunteered their manpower and equipment to pick up the bagged trash and carry it to large dumpsters located at Wind Creek. Together, these organizations and companies hauled tons of trash and other debris from Lake Martin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would estimate it to be around 16 to 18 tons of trash,â&#x20AC;? Thompson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an area that we have never really picked up or cleaned in the past so some of these items have been out there for 50 or 60 years in some cases.â&#x20AC;? This annual event is held each year as the lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water level begins to drop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it until the water goes down and you can walk back in there and look at it,â&#x20AC;? Thompson said. Lake Martin resident Kenneth Holland and his family have been involved in the Lake Martin cleanup for the past five

PAIR OF TOP-25 VICTORIES Auburn, Alabama defeat ranked opponents Saturday STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
Auburn scored two late touchdowns to overcome a 10-point deficit, beating No. 25 Texas A&M 28-24 Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium. “I’m extremely proud of our team,” Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. “Our guys, they kept fighting. They didn’t quit. There were plenty of times they could have. We’ve been talking all week about playing Auburn football. “That fight, that character and everything that goes with it. And that’s really what defined it for me, the win today. A lot of times how you win can help you moving forward, and that’ll definitely give us momentum.” Trailing 24-14, Noah Igbinoghene’s interception gave Auburn possession at its own 29 with 7:14 remaining. “Noah’s interception was probably the play of the game,” Malzahn said. Jarrett Stidham then completed five passes, three to Darius Slayton for 43 yards, to give Auburn first-and-goal at the 1. Chandler Cox scored on the next play to cut A&M’s lead to 24-21 with 5:14 to play. Derrick Brown’s sack helped force Texas A&M’s punt, which Christian Tutt returned 28 yards to Auburn’s 42 with 2:04 to play. On the next play, Stidham hit Ryan Davis, who zigged and zagged up the middle for 47 yards to the Aggies’ 11. From there, Stidham connected with Seth Williams for the game-winning score with 1:41 to play. Stidham was 18 for 29 for 239 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Slayton had eight receptions for 107 yards. Daniel Thomas forced a fumble and recorded a careerhigh 12 tackles. Auburn had five

With the win, the Crimson Tide secured its spot in the SEC Championship game against No. 6 Georgia on Dec. 1 in Atlanta. The Crimson Tide (9-0, 6-0 SEC) outgained the Tigers (7-2, 4-2 SEC) 576-196, including holding LSU to just 12 yards on the ground. On the defensive side of
the ball, sophomore defensive lineman Quinnen Williams had himself a day, racking up a career-high 10 tackles (3.5 tackles for loss) and 2.5 sacks. Junior defensive back Savion Smith and sophomore linebacker Dylan Moses each finished with six tackles. Junior linebacker Mack Wilson also had an interception in the win. Sophomore quarterback Tua Tagovailoa ended the night with 344 total yards and three touchdowns. Senior running back Damien Harris was solid on the ground, taking 19 carries for 107 yards and a score. In the receiving game, sophomore Jerry Jeudy led the way with eight catches for 103 yards.
