Prepped industrial sites, fiber optic network, opportunities for retirees top list By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

Tallapoosa County’s unemployment rate for September was six percent, compared to 6.5 percent in August and 6.7 percent in September 2014. Coosa County’s unemployment numbers have shown even more drastic improvement, falling to 6.2 percent in September, down from 6.9 percent in August and 7.9 percent in September 2014. As late as Friday, national unemployment numbers showed a continued decline to five percent – the lowest rate in seven years. It’s likely that area unemployment will reflect the national number to some small degree. In short, the economy in our area is improving. More people are working. Jobs are coming to Tallapoosa and

Coosa counties. But there is still much many would like to see done to make the area more attractive to businesses that might consider locating in the area. Recently, The Outlook asked some local business leaders to share with us their Christmas wish lists for things to make the Tallapoosa-Coosa area in general and Alexander City in particular more attractive to business and industry considering locating here. For Alexander Chamber President Ann Rye, the completion of the cleanup of the old Russell complex was at the top of the list. “If I could wiggle my nose and make a few things happen, the first would be the cleanup of the old Russell complex,” said Rye, who will be resigning her See OPPORTUNITIES, Page 3

More than 45 bags of trash, Styrofoam of all sizes and shapes, ratty old coolers, one with a small tree growing out of it – that was just part of the haul that volunteers took from Lake Martin and unloaded at the City Boat Ramp Friday as the 7th annual Renew Our Rivers Lake Martin Cleanup began Friday. Anyone who is interested in helping can do so Saturday. The cleanup begins at 8 a.m. and volunteers can show up at

Volunteers unload trash taken out of Lake Martin coves around the City Boat Ramp along Coley Creek Friday. Workers will be back out in full force today.

The Alexander City area was not hit as hard by recent rainfalls compared to surrounding counties, according to a meteorologist from the National Weather Service. The current weather pattern, however, could be one that persists throughout the winter season. Rain is expected to be with us throughout the weekend, but officials say not to worry. There were approximately 1.5-to-2 inches of rainfall in the area over the See RAIN, Page 3

The new girl at school isn’t shy around boys

Sunday

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 17-yearold girl in high school. Recently, I became friends with a new girl at school. She’s 15. She has a boyfriend at her old school, but she talks to guys at this school she thinks are cute. She told me some of them want to hook up with her and she seems happy about it. She even talked about going to a school dance with them. I’m worried she might be cheating on her boyfriend, but I don’t know what to do. I don’t know him, so I don’t think I can tell him what’s happening. When she mentioned the guys at school and I asked her, “What about your boyfriend?” she just kinda changed the subject. -- TEEN IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR TEEN: High school romances aren’t like marriages. While some of them may last forever, most don’t. That’s why I’m advising you to take a step back, stay out of this girl’s love life, and stop worrying about

Hilda Howard Dent October 3, 1929 – November 1, 2015

Hilda Howard Dent (Mrs. George M. Dent Jr.), 86, born in Alexander City, AL and a resident of Daphne, died Sunday, November 1, 2015, with her family by her side. She was a long-time resident of Montgomery, AL. She graduated from Huntingdon College and later earned a Master of Library Science degree from Emory University. She worked in the Alabama Legislative Reference Service, taught at Sidney Lanier High School, and, after receiving her MLS, worked as a librarian at Jefferson Davis High School, Huntingdon College, and the Alabama Public Library Service.

DEAR ABBY: I met someone I really like eight months ago. The problem is, I can’t get him to do anything except sit at home and watch TV. I have suggested doing things he is interested in. But when a friend called, he went out to a ballgame without hesitation. I had been asking him for months to go. He also went to a music festival with friends.

There will be designated drop points along the way at be Fox Creek, Shingle Mill, with take out and last drop point at Jaybird Creek. LMRA, Alabama Power Company, Russell Lands, Advanced Disposal, Wind Creek State Park and Lake Martin Towboat are sponsoring the 2015 cleanup. The combined efforts of more than 250 volunteers each year over the event’s first six years have resulted in more than 40 tons of building debris and trash being removed from the pristine shoreline and scenic roadsides surrounding the lake.

“sometime in the future,” but how should I take this? We have never been out to eat or seen a movie. Am I being childish or asking too much too soon? -- UNDERWHELMED IN MICHIGAN DEAR UNDERWHELMED: Too soon? Eight months? You’re not childish; you are thinking rationally. Sitting around and watching television requires no effort on his part -- and I’ll bet you’re providing the snacks, too. Forgive me for seeming judgmental, but the man you’re involved with is acting like a self-centered mooch, and it’s unfair to you. DEAR ABBY: I started a new job that requires me to deal with the public. I am now encountering an unexpected issue I didn’t know I’d have with myself. It’s receiving compliments. On more than one occasion, men have told me I’m “beautiful.” Instead of handling

it gracefully, it makes me defensive and I seem rude without meaning to be that way. Comments of this nature make me extremely uncomfortable. I’ve never had strangers tell me things like this before. My co-workers think I’m crazy for not eating it up, but I’m left feeling uneasy for the rest of the day. There has to be a better way of handling this than the way I have been. Any advice? -- DEFENSIVE IN ARKANSAS DEAR DEFENSIVE: Yes. The best way to handle a compliment is to be gracious and accept it. Say thank you and refrain from using it as an excuse to parade your insecurities.

Before the recent cuts, the budget showed a shortfall of about $700,000. After the cuts, the deficit has been closed and about $2 million was created to fund the necessary capital projects that the council have left in the mix for consideration. “They did a good job making the cuts that were asked for,” Machen said. “We are close, but it doesn’t leave much margin for error. It is pretty much bare bones, but that’s the situation we are in.” Monday’s meeting is set for 4:30 p.m. in the upstairs conference room at Alexander City City Hall. Howard said that he thinks they will tackle the operating budget first, then tackle the capital spending. “We should be able to move pretty quickly now,” Howard said. “But we have a meeting set Tuesday at the same time if it is necessary.” The city budget continues to be financed heavily with sales tax funds. An estimated $7.9 million from sales tax is expected, not counting the portion dedicated to road projects. Only a little more than $1 million is expected to be generated from property taxes in the coming year.

Shave November and we tried it last year,” Robinson said. “We work hard every year to raise money for our Shop With Cop campaign, and it turned out to be great way to raise money for that. “So if you see an officer with a little stubble, there isn’t anything wrong. They are just doing their part to help kids this holiday season.” Robinson said that many of his guys are hunters, and with the cooler temperatures coming, he said many have already started adding a little extra “facial insulation.” “I was noticing in court the other day that three or four of them already had the beards going on,” Robinson said. “They work real hard on keeping a professional appearance, but for these two months we thought it would be a good way to help morale and

do some good for kids,” Robinson said. “If it achieves those two goals – then this is a good thing.” Last year the police department was able to help 13 families and a total of 17 children. Through this promotion, as well as the generosity of donors in the community, Robinson said he hopes that they will be able to help even more this year. “Times are tough for families these days,” Robinson said. “We are doing what we can. If anyone in the community would like to contribute, we will welcome any donations to the program. They can drop them by the headquarters at my office, they can mail them to P.O. Box 943 in Alexander City, or just call and we will work with them.” Residents can call 256-234-3421 for more information on how they can contribute.

Rain

continued from page 1

last week compared to the 4-to-5 inches reported in Lee County, and the roughly 6 inches seen in other areas throughout the southeast portion of the state. And as far as a forecast goes, more of the same can be expected. Projections from the NWS indicate rain and thunderstorms scattered over the next week, with a steady drop in temperature forecasted toward the end of next week, with lows nearing 48 degrees by next Sunday. According to Matt Grantham, a meteorologist out of the Birmingham NWS Forecast Office, El Niño conditions are to blame – an El Niño, Grantham said, that might top the 1997 strongest on record. There are currently heavy El Niño conditions in the Pacific, and Grantham said that would mean more cloudy days, with greater possibilities for rainfall. And along with November and December as the area’s typical rainy season, this pattern could result in lower than usual temperatures over the winter. Grantham clarified that his projections were not for what he called “Canada cold outbreak temperatures,” but only cooler than normal temperatures for the area. And the prospect of a cooler than usual winter sea-

son comes despite the warm weather of the current transition period, which Grantham said holds up to the typical trends of southern fall seasons. So how does El Niño come into play, what is it and how does it work? Grantham explained. The pattern is an oscillation of warmer than average water conditions near the equator that lasts for six months to a year, and the effects from which are felt here around winter, for the entire season. It causes enhanced thunderstorm activity in that region, Grantham said, which induces the jet stream southward and causes disturbances that move across Mexico and on upward to into the Southern area of the U.S. He pointed to the unusually strong hurricane season in Mexico and near-record warm waters off the coast of South America as examples. In short, according to Grantham the weather that has been in the area recently is here to stay. And also to have any idea of overall weather norms, it is important to look at the bigger picture, over a longer period of time.

retail center,” said Radney. “I think we also need to look at advertising of the entire area as a potential site for businesses, like Montgomery, Wetumpka and Prattville do with the River Region concept. We need a connection with retirees on the lake and to make that connection we need opportunities for them for education, the arts, dining and shopping. A shuttle service between Alex City and the lake would help with that connection, too.” Radney said he thinks the area also needs a multiuse Civic Center and a museum and he would like to see the fruition of the hotel and conference center at Wind Creek State Park that has recently been mentioned as a possibility. McClellan – whose LMAEDA has since 2002 worked with the cities of Alexander City and Dadeville and Tallapoosa and Coosa counties to produce 16 new companies (and, from those, 15 expansions) representing more than 3,500 new jobs, an investment of over $800 million and a payroll of over $80 million annually – said his list is topped by an instance of continuing to do what is already happening in the area. “Every year the most important factors for locating industry to any location are published and an

available workforce that is trained is always at the top of the ladder,” said McClellan. “We are fortunate that we have a school system K-12 with Gateway and Central Alabama Community College that are partnering to make our workforce better. So at the top of my wish list is that we continue to partner among our learning institutions.” McClellan mentioned Wednesday morning’s meeting between officials at Benjamin Russell High School and local leaders of business and industry where needs and partnerships were discussed as an illustration of the area’s strong alliance between education and business and industry. Rye said that another item on her economic development Christmas wish list would be a fiber optic ring for the city. “I think we absolutely need a fiber ring,” Rye said. “Recruitment of higher-paying jobs means getting into the ‘here and now’ and realizing what businesses need to be successful. Everything is faster, smarter, and high tech in growing industries today. We have to invest in getting our community ready to compete for those industries’ attention.” McClellan said, while there are resources Alexander City and the

Opportunities position soon to move to Ohio, but has used her tenure to kindle a renewed Chamber effort to land retail and industrial tenants in the area. “I’d ask for funding to complete Central Boulevard and the resources to enforce ordinances that are in place so this area could be more visually attractive to future developers. This in and of itself would speak loudly as to the city’s commitment to progress and willingness to be a partner in making that progress happen.” Don McClellan, executive director of recruitment and project management for the Lake Martin Area Economic Development Alliance (LMAEDA), agreed that potential locations for industry should be “site ready.” “We need to work toward having sites that are ready to receive companies with the real estate ‘site ready’ where a lot has been graded, utilities are in place, and there is an access road to the site,” McClellan said. Attorney Larkin Radney, who served as one of the leaders of the city’s recent “Imagine” effort, said the list for Alexander City is long. “I’ll leave the industrial recruitment to folks like (McClellan), but I think we need improved gateways to our downtown

surrounding area doesn’t have, there is still a lot in the area’s economic favor. “We don’t have an interstate, don’t have Auburn University, and don’t have a metropolitan area,” McClellan said. “We won’t ever have those things. But we have good sites, a strong alliance between government agencies, two cities that have their own utilities, and an attitude of not giving up. We have four new companies on the Russell campus, thanks in a large part to the City of Alexander City and what it added to what Russell made available. These companies now have the ability to grow and produce more jobs and increase their investment in our community. “You can see that many people are involved in our efforts to attract companies, local organizations including the Chamber, MainStreet, city, county and, of course, the state.”

Wise advice in a digital age

or many of us, computers have come to occupy our daily lives. Whether for work or entertainment, we find ourselves turning more and more often to that glowing screen and the accompanying keyboard. As our computer time continues to increase, the devices become more and more portable and diverse. Just take a look at your smartphone. But even with the freedom the digital highway affords us comes responsibility – responsibility that must be exercised by children and adults alike, particularly with regard to photos. Last week, a 33-year-old Alexander City man was arrested on two counts of possession of child pornography. Seems officers were working a different case when they stumbled across pornographic photos a minor female had allegedly sent to the man. Alexander Police Department Deputy Chief Jay Turner said the exchange of such photos by minors is something the Department sees more and more of these days. “I really don’t think young people of that age even understand what they are doing,” Turner said. “Once you hit that send button you are sending something into the world that you can never get back. It’s like pulling the trigger on a gun – you can’t bring that bullet back.” For keeping the image on his phone or computer and not immediately deleting it, the adult in this exchange is facing serious legal consequences. But for the female who sent the photo(s) this is risky business, too. She risks a loss of self-respect and bullying or worse by others to whom the photo may be passed along. Two warnings here: To our children, please use your computers and cellphones more responsibly and think of the worst that could happen with information or photos you share. To parents, monitor your children’s use of digital technology. Know their passwords and check what they’re doing on their devices regularly. Only when they’ve proven they’ve earned their privacy should you grant it.

10 things I learned this week T

here is seldom a week in this job where I don’t learn something new, hear something that makes me laugh or see something that makes me scratch my head and say “what the….” Sometimes there are revelations and other times it may be a funny line that makes my list. With that in mind, I have decided to take note of all of these tidbits and share them with you every now and then. So without further delay here is the first edition of “10 things I learned this week” in reverse order of importance, by Mitch Sneed. 10. Trains shouldn’t travel through an area with a gas leak. I guess I never thought about it, but when city workers were faced with a gas leak on Washington Street one of the precautions taken was to stop train traffic on nearby rails. Trains often come with sparks and intense heat, so that and gas shouldn’t mix. Hats off to all those who responded. They did a great job diffusing what could have been a bad situation. 9. While a Jeep is a cool toy, a Jeep Cherokee without doors isn’t the same thing as say a Jeep CJ5 or Wrangler without doors. Saw it here in Alexander City. 8. It may not sound like the dining combo to die for, but .50 cent corn dogs at Sonic and a Cherry Limeaid work as a combo. They really do. 7. There is no end to the stuff that some people think is a good idea to throw in the lake. When you look at the

MITCH SNEED Editor

bags of items retrieved by volunteers, it’s hard to keep your jaw from dropping. A rack from a refrigerator and as car’s steering wheel, really? 6. There aren’t many critters that don’t call our area home. In a three-day span I saw a bald eagle, an owl, a deer, a wild hog, a fox, a coyote that was smart enough to look both ways before crossing Highway 280, a rabbit, a longhorn steer and a clear looking frog that thought my pontoon was a good place to crash for the winter. 5. A man wearing a Michael Vick Atlanta Falcons jersey while walking his pit bull on a leash is just wrong. 4. If you don’t have any of that fancy creamer that everyone loves these days, Milk Duds are incredible. Discovered it by accident out of necessity this week. You have to try it. 3. Dadeville football coach Richard White is a quote machine. Check this out after his Tigers beat Thomasville in double overtime Thursday night on a crazy two-point conversion. “It was just an incredible football game,” White said. “Two good football teams just kept battling back and fourth. Then when we had to have it – we made the play – Ty Stone made the catch down for the win. That was after there after

Scooter (Margarius Buchanan) kept moving around with kids chasing him all over the place. Finally he threw it up there and Ty went up and made the play. Players making plays – that’s what it’s all about. “Scooter is just an incredible athlete. I tell you – if I had a Heisman Trophy, I’d give it to him right now. That’s how much this one means to me.” 2. Bullet Bob Armstrong wrestled his first professional match 52 years ago on his Oct. 3 birthday in Marietta, Georgia. Even at his age he is still willing to help a great cause and “jack a jaw” if he needs to. 1. There are some times that you really shouldn’t call the police. I love to listen to the scanner, but there was a call this week that took the prize for my favorite of the week. DISPATCHER: “I need a unit in the area of (name withheld) Street to respond to 142. See the male resident there. He says that his girlfriend is being mean to his cat.” Seriously? Yes. It happened right here in Alexander City. Now animal cruelty is something that makes my blood boil, but a call like this should cost this dude his man card. Does he really need the police to make his girlfriend stop being mean to his cat? Next thing you know he will be calling because she is wearing his skinny jeans. Just saying. All that and I get paid for doing this job. Am I lucky or what? Mitch Sneed is the editor of The Outlook.

“Never cut a tree down in wintertime”

Sherry Ellison Simpson

Bob Howard

Billy Ray Wall

James Spann

Thomas Goss

“The Lord never gave up on me and I remember this thought while in hospice.” Dear Editor, Here’s something worth pondering: “never cut a tree down in the wintertime.” That was at the bottom of an email I once received and it got me thinking. How often do we pull the plug on what appears to be dead without waiting long enough to see if life will stir? Some couples choose divorce without committed trying. A teen drops our of high school because it gets hard and they aren’t willing

to push through. A parent gives up on a wayward child and treats them as if they don’t exist. The court system “throws away the key” for what they consider a hardened criminal. When we are tempted to give up on someone or something, we should think about winter. In winter there is no sign of life. The tree is bare and brittle. As far as appearances go, we might just as well hack it down and throw it on the garbage heap. We don’t do it through because we have lived through enough winters to

know what’s coming. Spring happens along every year and our dead tree starts to bud new leaves. It isn’t dead after all but in case it really is, that’s time enough to prove it. What does it hurt to give it every chance? Are you in some kind of winter right now? Are you ready to give up and call it quits regarding some issue in your life? Are you really so sure there is no hope? I say hold off a bit and see what happens. Wait till spring. Monica Bridges Ft. Worth, Texas (Formerly of Alex City

Research shows Antarctica is gaining ice Dear Editor, A’ Gore didn’t sleep last night: The worst possible news for the Global Warming Industry & its founder! NASA has just published its extensive research that clearly shows that the Antarctica is GAINING ICE, not melting & losing it! The study covered large masses of land using satellites that found that while some areas are, in fact, decreasing in ice mass, others are gaining-even more!. This has been ongoing more

than 10,000 years. There are several sources on this, I have included one. There is extensive documentation that during the 1970’s the entire media community-sixty-one (61) major newspapers in fact, were preaching a virtually guaranteed coming Ice Age. (starting with the Washington Post, 1/11/70: NY Times, 1/19/75; Newsweek, 4/28/75) Then came along AL Gore who successfully created an entire worldwide Global Warming Industry now affect-

ing everything we do and enlisting the entire world community on board. He was awarded the Nobel Prize and his Net Worth today is estimated at $104 million! It is all a hoax and now even the U.S. Government is saying so as well! But don’t expect to see the Warming crowd to go quietly. This Industry is just too large and expect them to try to poo poo the NASA study.

“Discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness; for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:7-8 Recently, I made the decision that I needed to get in better shape physically. One look in the mirror reveals what is painfully obvious. But, while I know that I need to lose weight and while I want to lose weight, I know there must be something more. I need greater personal discipline. It’s not the desire that matters, it’s the discipline. So, I joined the gym. Now the gym and I have an adversarial relationship. I have made it a point in life to do whatever it takes to avoid pain, and the gym hurts. I have learned some parallels in going to the gym for physical health and making time for God’s word in my life for spiritual health. First, the gym requires

Matt Haines Sixth Street Baptist Church

commitment to do what I should do instead of what I would rather do. Truth is, I would rather sit in front of the television and eat ice cream than go to the gym. That’s how I got this body. But, going to the gym forces me to focus on what is best. Most of us would rather spend time on our hobbies, get extra sleep, or catch up on our favorite show than pull out God’s word. But, spiritual discipline requires us to focus on what’s best for our soul. The gym requires a commitment to do the hard work. It’s a lot easier to put on weight than to take it off. In the same way, it’s a lot

Holley’s Home Furnishings

easier to coast through our lives spiritually, living from one Sunday to another with little thought, much less time for God. Consistent time in the Bible and prayer is hard work, but the rewards are worth it. The gym requires me to focus on what I can become and not on what I currently am. I know there is a skinnier version of me that is longing to get out physically. But, I must work to make it happen. Likewise, I know there is a more Christ-like version of me out there with holy thoughts and godly choices. But I must work to bring him to be. So, are you “disciplining yourself for godliness”? Will you take the time today to blow the dust off that Bible and go meet your Savior in the pages of it? I promise, eventually, it will be worth the effort.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Others could be unusually challenging, which might trigger some anger on your part. You tend to be diplomatic, and as a result, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t openly share your feelings. Change what you are doing, and let go of disappointment for now. Tonight: Let someone else run the show. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You have a project on the back burner that you need to work on. You might Ă&#x201E;nd that you are sitting on a lot of anger, which seems to emerge at the drop of a hat. Find out why you are feeling this way. Perhaps you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in sync with what is going on. Tonight: Rent a movie. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Your adventurous style encourages you to take strange risks. You might want to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? to more wild decisions for now; otherwise, you could hit a snafu eventually. A close friend or loved one will express his or her support. Tonight: Add more spirit to the moment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Stay close to home, knowing that you would like to cocoon for a little while. You might enjoy taking a nap, turning oÉ&#x2C6; your cellphone and letting the outside world exist without you. Everyone will be able to manage. Tonight: Try a new neighborhood hot spot. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll speak your mind and get plenty of feedback from a friend. Reach out to a loved one who tends to be somewhat diÉ&#x2030;cult. You might not like what you hear, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know to take what this person says with a grain of salt. Tonight: Hang out at home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Before you splurge on a big expense, make sure you really want this item. You could discover that you are simply riding an impulsive wave and will change your mind later. Do some comparison shopping before deciding to move forward. Tonight: Make it your treat.

Second suspect captured in Eclectic home-invasion By Kevin Taylor The Wetumpka Herald

More than 24 hours after one suspect in the home-invasion robbery and shooting of a 78-yearold Eclectic woman on Pleasant Hill Road was captured, U.S. Marshals found the second suspect Thursday night. Elmore County Sheriff Bill Franklin said Pedro Gwon Bennett, 31, of Montgomery was taken into custody after 6 p.m. when a tip led to his capture in a set of apartments along the Troy Highway in Montgomery. Franklin said Bennett â&#x20AC;&#x153;didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much to say.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only thing he said is that he wanted to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights,â&#x20AC;? Franklin said. Bennett was charged with one count of first-degree robbery, firstdegree assault and first-degree burglary. District Attorney Randall Houston said it was obvious that Bennett had â&#x20AC;&#x153;devoted his life to a life of crime.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has been arrested 13 times since 2010 and has been convicted of four felonies,â&#x20AC;? Houston said Friday afternoon during Bennettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial appearance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel like he is a flight risk given that he did everything he could to evade (law enforcement) when he knew he was being sought.â&#x20AC;? And with that Houston requested Bennettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bond be raised to $150,000 for each charge.

Here + Pay Here + + CLEAN USED CARS

District Court Judge Glenn Goggans asked Bennett if he had anything to say about what Houston had said. He said he he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anything to say and then said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never run from anyone.â&#x20AC;? Bennett has prior convictions in Montgomery and Elmore counties, where he pleaded guilty receiving stolen property, burglary and theft of property. Goggans agreed with Houston and set his total cash bond at $450,000. Dexter McDuffie, 27, of Montgomery was also charged with first-degree burglary, firstdegree assault and first-degree robbery after he was captured around 3 a.m. Wednesday alone in a hotel room along the Troy Highway in Montgomery, Franklin said. McDuffieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bond was raised to $450,000 cash given his prior convictions in Montgomery and Monroe counties. Franklin said on Friday that the shooting victim was still listed in serious, but stable condition at Baptist Medical Center South in Montgomery.

Cougars’ season ends at T.R. Miller By Corey Williams The Brewton Standard

BREWTON – In the first round of the 3A playoffs, the T.R. Miller Tigers dominated the Central Coosa Cougars 67-16. TRM head coach Jamie Riggs likes what he saw out of his team in the game. “I thought we had a good plan going in and the players executed,” Riggs said. “(Central Coosa) caused us some offensive problems early. They were giving us a different look on defense early but our coaches did a good job with making adjustments and made things happen. I’m proud of our bunch. We did what we needed to do.” TRM (9-2) began their offensive night with a 43-yard run by senior Ahmaud Taylor. Taylor would cap off the same drive with a one-yard touchdown run. Tiger kicker Hunter Brittain added the extra point to give the Tigers the lead 7-0. With 8:33 left in the second quarter, TRM senior Tamerick Jenkins pounded in a 3-yard run for the touchdown. On the extra point attempt Central Coosa (5-6) would commit an offsides penalty. After the penalty the Tigers elect to go for a two-point conversion instead and would succeed courtesy of a run up the middle by

Taylor to extend the Tiger lead to 15-0. Central Coosa would answer the call in a hurry. With 5:47 to go in the second, Cougar junior quarterback Raymond Graham would take the pigskin up the middle for a one-yard touchdown. The Cougars decided to go for two points. The decision would prove successful, with a run by senior runningback Rodriquez Whetstone to dwindle the Tiger lead, 15-8. On the Tiger’s next drive, on 2nd down, Winton would find fellow junior, JoJo Booker, for a 60-yard touchdown catch. Brittain added the extra point to extend the Tiger lead, 22-8. The Tigers were able to get the ball back after an interception by Johnson. The interception would prove costly for the Cougars. On the ensuing drive the Tiger offense would score, via a 28-yard run by Taylor. With the added extra point the Tigers now led, 28-8. The Tigers offense was not done. With 33 seconds left in the half Winton would find a wide open Johnson on the side line. After a quick juke to dodge a Cougar defender Johnson would score for an 8-yard touchdown. The Tigers would miss the extra point and go into the locker room with the lead, 35-8. The Tigers came out in the third quarter with full force. Receiving the ball first the ball would land in

Johnson’s hands. Johnson would put the jets in motion, taking the ball to the end zone for an 80-yard touchdown. Brittain would miss the extra point to make the score, 41-8. The Tiger offense wasn’t done in the third. With 9:50 to go in the quarter, Winton would find Jenkins with a 10-yard pass for the touchdown. A botched extra point would make the score 47-8. Less than 30 seconds later after scoring the Tigers offense would take advantage of another blunder by the Cougar offense with a 10-yard run by Taylor. Again the Tiger’s missed the extra point making the score 54-8. With 5:40 to go in the third, Tiger sophomore running back Demarquis McMillan got in on the scoring spree with a 12-yard touchdown run of his own. Another botched extra point would make the score 60-8. The score made seven unanswered touchdowns by the Tigers. The Cougars would finally stop the bleeding with 2:15 left to play in the third when Graham would find 6’4” senior wide receiver David McKinney for a 31-yard touchdown catch in the end zone. The Cougars succeeded on a two-point conversion to close the Tiger gap, 60-16. In the fourth quarter the Tigers would score on a 20-yard run by senior Kishan Patel to put the

exclamation point on the game. The Tigers added the extra point to pad the Tiger lead, 67-16. The score would be the final for the game. “(Central Coosa) did some nice things tonight and I know they’re trying to build a program,” Riggs said. “They’re going to be a good football team.” Central Coosa head coach Barry Simmons says he was proud of the way his team played in the season and looks for the team to make bigger strides going forward. “I’m really proud about how our players played this season,” Simmons said. “Our goal was to make the playoffs and we accomplished that goal. That’s a good

thing. I was proud of the way we played the first quarter tonight. We came out ready to play. With the turnovers we had it’s hard to deal with, but I felt our kids continued to fight and not quit and I’m proud of them for that.” Leading the Tigers was Caleb Winton with 148 passing yards and three touchdowns, Ahmaud Taylor with 155 yards and three touchdowns, and Chardian Johnson with three catches for 36 yards, two total touchdowns and an interception. Leading the Cougars was Raymond Graham with 97 rushing yards, 74 passing yards and two total touchdowns and Rodriquez Whitestone with 81 rushing yards.

Benjamin Russell Cross Country sends three to state championships By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

The Benjamin Russell High School cross country team will be taking some momentum with them to state after competing in sectionals this past week. Benjamin Russell had three runners qualify for the Alabama High School Athletic Association Cross Country State Championship. Benjamin Russell’s Dillon Dean won the Boys Class 6A Section 2 Sectionals with a time of 16 minutes, 20 seconds at Thursday’s meet at Gateway Park in Montgomery. Benjamin Russell’s Gabi Watson placed second overall in the girl’s division with a time of 23 minutes, seven seconds, while Sarah Baker placed seventh overall in the girl’s division with a time of 24 minutes, 42 seconds, as both also qualified for state. “We have nine members on our team. We’re a small team, but we represented well yesterday (Thursday) with Dillon winning with a time of 16 minutes, 20 seconds,” said BRHS Cross Country Coach Michelle Tuggle. “The conditions were harsh with the humidity and the temperature in November made it a very difficult run because it was a midday run.” Tuggle said she was pleased with the showing in Thursday’s meet from all nine of the BRHS athletes. “I was really pleased with all of our times and I was really excited that I had two females running at state this year as well,” Tuggle said. “They finished in the top ten at sectionals, which is an awesome showing for Benjamin Russell. My boys team, we have six members

and on the girls we have three. They ran 21, 22 and 23 minutes, so they were up there, but to qualify for state in the boys division you have to finish at 19 minutes. We’ve been competing since early September and been practicing since August. We’ve competed in five events this season and sectionals.” Benjamin Russell will compete for

the State Championship on Saturday, Nov. 14 in Oakville, Alabama. Tuggle said she is expecting great things from the BRHS runners in the state event. “I’m very proud of the team. They’ve done very well this year. I have very high expectations for state,” Tuggle said. “I’m expecting Dillon to place in the top

five for sure, and I’m really thinking he could win this thing. For the girls, I’m expecting them to run their best time of the season at the state course. That’s a fast-paced course, so I expect to see some times go up for them. “I think it’s going to be a great day. I think Benjamin Russell is going to be represented very well at that event.”

Runner with Dadeville ties completes 50 marathons in 50 states By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

A runner with Dadeville ties has been from sea to shining sea, as he recently completed his last of 50 marathons in all 50 states. David V. Bruce, 73, has completed a full marathon (26.2 miles) in every state in America, and is certified by the 50 State Marathon Club located in Houston, Texas. Bruce came to Dadeville in June of 2001 when his son, Michael D. Bruce, bought what was, at the time, Lakeshore Hospital, which became Lake Martin Community Hospital. During his first two-year stint, David served as acting hospital administrator while living in Stillwaters. David returned in 2004 and assumed the role of the director for the Home Health program and put together the hospice program. David, a native of New York state, originally began running decades ago on the trail that

Olympians qualified on. “I started running 30 years ago in Buffalo to Niagara Falls, Ontario. That was the original Olympic Trial Marathon for Olympians that wanted to represent the United States,” Bruce said. “When I got back to Dadeville, I had a little extra time, so that’s when I started training again and went back to running marathons in 2006.” Throughout all 50 marathons that have taken him everywhere from Wyoming to Huntsville, David said one of his most memorable races was in California. “You’ve got city, urban marathons and you’ve got rural marathons. But the one that stands out to me was the one that I ran in Death Valley, California,” Bruce said. “The challenge that I had there was that they had a cutoff after six hours. If you ran over six hours, they pulled the timer out and they weren’t going to give you credit. I finished that marathon in five hours, 59 minutes.”

Bruce said the race in one of the hottest places in the world was challenging specifically because of the makeup of the trail. But the reason he remembers it most is a chance encounter with the local wildlife. “It was probably the most challenging marathon because it was on a trail that went up over 6,200 feet and it was a trail where a lot of the canyons had erosion, so the surface was very gravely and rolling,” Bruce said. “I fell a couple times doing that. I was running along and there was a young guy in front of me who just leaped in the air and was like what’s going on here. He almost stepped on a tarantula. It was an interesting experience because the two ladies behind me stopped to look at it and were concerned. We put rocks all around it so no one would step on it.” “I never knew what happened Submitted / The Outlook to that tarantula, but I hope he’s still doing his thing,” Bruce David V. Bruce competes in a marathon race. Bruce recently completed the last of 50 marathons in all 50 states. laughed.
