Commission clears air on New Site gym By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Members of the Tallapoosa County Commission believe the New Site council has not been fully informed of the expectations of requirements for permits for the renovation project of the New Site gym. Based on conversations with New

Site council members, county officials believe the council now has the proper information more than a year after the town started to renovate the building. Permits for work require reports form engineers on structural, electrical and if needed mechanical reports, along with a plumbing diagram and life safety measures. “This all began a year and half ago,”

Tallapoosa County building inspector Todd Flurry said. “I notified the mayor and told him the requirements.” The New Site town council adopted the county and state building codes to be enforced by the county in 2007, but did not exclude municipal projects. Work started anyway and subcontractors were told by town officials they did not need permits.

Flurry and the state fire marshal toured the building and Flurry stopped the project last year. Some in the community have questioned why the project was stopped and not allowed to continue. Flurry explained since the building was classified as commercial with an A-3 classification, certain requirements have See COMMISSION • Page 8

Before long, Jack was going through brake and engine checks with his instructor Eddiy Daly. Then it was off into the wild blue yonder for a little bit before See FLIGHT • Page 3

Having crossed the Gulf of Mexico over the past few days, Hurricane Michael is preparing to make landfall along the Florida panhandle. Tropical storm warnings have been extended from New Orleans to Tampa, while residents of western Florida are under a mandatory evacuation order. Despite the potential impact the hurricane may have on the Gulf Coast, the latest forecasts show little, if any impact Michael will bring to Tallapoosa County. “Right now, it is forecast to be a Category 3 hurricane when it makes landfall in the Panama City Beach area (today),” Tallapoosa County EMA Director Jason Moran said. “The current projections show we could see some effects around 4 to 8 p.m. We could see wind gusts up to 20 (mph) and 1 to 1 and a half inches of rain.” Meteorologist Jason Holmes with the National Weather Service in Birmingham said Michael is expected to make landfall around noon or shortly thereafter. Holmes also said Tallapoosa County is currently forecast to be on the western side of the storm, meaning there is not as much of a worry about tornadoes occurring in See HURRICANE • Page 2

United Way gearing up for annual Downtown Fashion Show By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

As the Lake Martin Area United Way continues its 2019 “Be a Lifesaver of Hope” fundraising campaign, the organization is preparing for one of its biggest and most exciting fundraisers. “Our sixth annual Downtown Fashion Show and Silent Auction will be Thursday, Oct. 18 in the parking lot behind our office,” Lake Martin Area United Way Executive Director Sharon Fuller said. “We are featuring all local fashions from our local stores.” Just like last year’s fashion show, the 2018 show will have a Mardi Gras theme, with decorations and atmosphere making attendees feel as if they

have gone to an event in New Orleans. Along with the fashion show and silent auction, the fundraiser also features a number of local merchants with vendor tables set up, giving attendees the chance to get a jumpstart on the holiday season, according to Fuller. During the silent auction, there will also be a “buy now door” for those wanting to purchase gift certificates local merchants have donated to the event. The fashion show and silent auction is by far one of the most anticipated fundraisers the local United Way holds, as Fuller said people were asking her in July about purchasing tickets for the event. Tickets for the event are $30, and include food and beverages before and during See FASHION • Page 3

SOCIAL SECURITY FAYE EDMONDSON Attorney at Law 135 N. Tallassee Street • Dadeville, AL

DEAR ABBY: I have been married for 27 years and have three wonderful kids. The youngest is 16. I recently found out I may have another son from a relationship prior to my marriage. The woman never notified me or asked for child support. I found out through someone else a couple of months ago and, thanks to social media, was able to find him and look at his picture. He looks exactly like I did 25 years ago. The problem is, when I mentioned it to my wife, she did not want to discuss the possibility. She acts like nothing happened and asked me not to bring it up again. What would you recommend in a situation like this? Should I say nothing and let it be, or risk ruining my marriage? -- VACILLATING IN VIRGINIA DEAR VACILLATING: I find it interesting that someone would know you possibly had

DEAR ABBY Advice

another son all this time and didn’t say anything sooner. If it’s true, the young man might like to know, if only so he can have a complete familial medical history. I don’t see how establishing the truth could “ruin” your marriage unless your wife is self-centered and immature. However, rather than suddenly appear out of nowhere with the news, it might be better to reach out to the woman you had the relationship with, tell her what the friend told you and ask her if it’s true. If she concealed the information from her son or from the man who raised him, possibly

DEAR ABBY: My daughter, a widow, started going out with men she meets on dating websites last year. She has three children; the youngest is 10. She has a full-time job and doesn’t smoke, drink or use drugs. She goes out five to seven times a week. I have all the responsibility for the children’s care, school, church, laundry, cooking, etc. I’m feeling very overburdened. While I don’t mind doing all these things, I feel taken advantage of. Am I wrong or is it now normal for a mother to go out that much? When she’s home, she’s constantly checking her texts and social media. Please

Hurricane the area, although the possibility of a stray thunderstorm cannot be ruled out. The forecast shows Michael turning to the northeast after making landfall, which Holmes said is due to the hurricane following an area of high pressure sitting in the western Atlantic, just off the East Coast. There is also a cold front moving eastward across the Great Plains, pushing the hurricane to move to the northeast. Even though Michael’s forecast track shows little, if any, potential for more severe weather in Tallapoosa County, Moran said this is no reason to overlook Michael or any storm coming out of the Gulf of Mexico. He said Michael has been following an

advise. -- USED IN TEXAS DEAR USED: You are a caring, loving, responsible mother and grandmother. However, you are also an enabler. You are allowing yourself to be used. Your daughter appears to be immature and centered entirely on herself. It is NOT “normal” for a mother to be out socializing as often as your daughter is. To ignore her children in favor of social media to the extent that you described is neglectful. You are entitled to a life of your own, so stop doing your daughter’s job as much as you have been and start doing some things for yourself.

overall similar track as Hurricane Opal in 1995, which shifted its track slightly to impact Alabama in a more direct way. While Florida and Georgia are expected to bear the brunt of the storm, Alabamians are preparing for whatever problems Michael may cause. Schools in Henry County are closed today, while the Dothan campus of Wallace Community College and Dothan City Schools closed early Tuesday and remain closed today. Meanwhile, Gov. Kay Ivey issued a state of emergency Monday beginning at 3 p.m. “(Tuesday) we will start seeing the effects of Michael and those in its path will need to take shelter by tomorrow evening,” Ivey said in a prepared statement Monday.

“Please stay weather aware today and tomorrow for any forecast changes. Most importantly, heed all warnings and instructions from local authorities.” As Michael makes landfall, Moran encouraged everyone to have a plan in place should the forecast change and the hurricane have a greater impact in Tallapoosa County. This includes knowing where to go in case of an evacuation, having a kit with food, water, and necessary medicine and having plenty of ways to receive weather information, including signing up for Tallapoosa Alert. “Hopefully this time we will have dodged a bullet, but the storm can shift,” Moran said. “I want everyone to stay weather aware and have a plan in place.”

Flight

continued from page 1

Jack landed delivering Daly to watch Jack fly from the ground. After three cycles of taking off and landing by himself Jack exited the plane only to be doused with water by Regina Brown. “The reason for that is to wash away the surly bonds of earth,” Daly said. “You are now a pilot.” Daly questioned Jack about the differences flying the plane solo. “It was lighter,” Jack responded. “It took off faster. It dawned on me, but I was not nervous (about flying solo). As long as I stuck to the numbers, I was good.” Brown, who owns the flight school Lyman Ward has contracted with, said Jack did well. “You squeaked them,” she said of Jack’s landing. “I thought it was Eddie in the plane with you.” Jack’s mother Laura also made the journey from Mt. Laurel in Shelby County Sunday to see history. With the first solo flight at Lyman Ward’s newly created aviation program, Jack gets a special call sign – ‘Ranger 01,’ but he is the first of what school officials hope to be many. “This is Ranger 01,” Lyman Ward director of aviation Jake Norotsky said. “02 and 03 are right behind him, and

04 should solo by Christmas.” The students in the aviation program are special and requires extra work on the students’ part. The program even requires students to maintain a 90 or better average in all their classes. “This requires them to drive off campus,” Norotsky said. “They have different rules. Even their meals are moved. They eat bagged lunches or breakfasts at times. Norotsky said this is when things get tough as he readies for more evaluations and the FAA written test. Lyman Ward dean of academics Mark Morgan says the aviation program created scheduling challenges but they were able to overcome them to become one of only a few schools to offer a flight program to high school students. “It is a regular block in the schedule,” Morgan said. “We work the flying times around early morning and lunch so they can get out here. We rotate the schedule around so they are not missing the same class all the time. The cadets are on their own to get up. They are allowed to drive. They get up on their own early in the morning do their flights. Get back and then go to class or they come to the office just before lunch and check out to come fly then

check back in.” Flying is in the blood of Jack Graham. “My dad was a career army aviator,” Jack’s father John said. “26 years flying anything and everything the Army had. He was a master senior aviator, a tour in Korea and two in Vietnam all in the air. He died before Jack was born.” John presented his son the bomber jacket worn by his father many decades ago following his solo flight. John believes the future has no limitations for Jack. “He has so many opportunities with the shortages that are there now,” John said. He is considering military aviation; going on to commercial, the sky is the limit. He still has to get through high school. Hopefully he will be able to go on to one those schools that offers continuing education and get his commercial. Ideally, he will come out of college with his commercial license and college degree.” Jack looks forward to what the future holds. “This has been an awesome experience so far,” the younger Graham said. “I am glad I had the privilege of soloing. I have been wanting to this. I feel like I did well and look forward to moving on and flying more.”

the show, while VIP tables, which include eight reserved seats and several bonus items for those at the table, can be reserved for $500. The silent auction and vendors portion of the event begins at 6 p.m., while the fashion show kicks off at 7 p.m. The silent auction will close immediately after the fashion show ends, and the item winners will be announced shortly thereafter. Fuller said there are around 80 models taking part in this year’s fashion show, while Scott Blake will be providing the music and the emcee for the show will be Lacey Howell. Sponsors for the 2018 fashion show include Emporium Wine and Ocie & Belle’s.

“We could not do this without our volunteers and the support of everyone in the community,” Fuller said. For those interested in attending the 2018 Downtown Fashion Show and Silent Auction, Fuller said tickets can be purchased at the United Way office by calling 256-3293600 or by messaging them through the Lake Martin Area United Way Facebook page. There will be tickets available at the door as well. “One hundred percent of the proceeds from the show go back to the United Way,” Fuller said. “I encourage everyone to come out, see the new fall fashions and have a good time next Thursday night.”

Spelling contest a great way to practice skills

s students at Radney Elementary School were gearing up for fall break Friday afternoon, they had the chance to enjoy a few minutes of their day and be a part of the second annual Radney Spelling Bee Team Competition. Sponsored and hosted by instructional coach Kenyatta Simmons, teams of three students from each grade’s English classrooms went head to head, correctly spelling words to bring home the glory for themselves and their teachers. After four rounds of words for the fifth-graders and five rounds for the sixth-graders, the winning teams were awarded medals and a trophy to be displayed in the classroom. While the main objective of this competition was to give the students the chance to practice some of their spelling words, they also were able to practice good sportsmanship by congratulating the winners and celebrating the spirit of competition in a friendly environment. For students who were not participating in the competition, they had the chance to cheer on their classmates from the bleachers, making noise when the word was spelled correctly and applauding when it was not. This gave them the chance to practice good sportsmanship as well, showing support in a courteous manner while recognizing the effort of others. So, whether a team was crowned champions of their grade or not, everyone involved learned valuable skills along the way. Not only did they get to practice spelling words they may use later on in life, they did so in a competitive environment, emphasizing the need for good sportsmanship in many places. A big hand goes out to Kenyatta Simmons for taking it on herself to make this event and the others like it possible, the Radney administration for allowing Simmons to have such competitions and the teachers and students for working so hard on their skills to make Friday’s event such a success.

Outlook The

Democrats have viable candidates, but...

n politics, perception is reality. It is perceived and therefore factual that a Democrat cannot win a statewide race in Alabama. The proof is in the pudding. We have 29 elected statewide officeholders in the Heart of Dixie. All 29 are Republicans. In addition, 6 out of 7 of our members in Congress are Republican. We have one lone Democratic member of Congress. Terri Sewell occupies the seat in Congress designed to be held by an African American. We do have a temporary accidental anomaly U.S. Senator in Doug Jones. However, as any nominal political observer knows, he is only there until the next election. He is the epitome of the political adage that more people vote against someone than for someone. People were simply voting against Roy Moore and more liberal money poured into Alabama to beat Moore than has ever been sent into Alabama in history and probably ever will be. It was the only race in the country and every socialist liberal group or individual in the nation jumped on board to beat Moore. That anomaly will never happen again. To his credit, Jones is not a demagogue. He is and has always been a liberal national Democrat. He has been a card carrying, bonafide liberal his entire adult life. He is ideologically more at home and comfortable buddying around with Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren and Nancy Pelosi than with Richard Shelby, Robert Aderholt or Bradley Bryne. He has campaigned for, contributed to and been a Democratic delegate for Walter Mondale, Ted Kennedy, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. He is a true believer.

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist He has felt his oats a bit and gotten involved in trying to change the state Democratic Party organization, which by the way is not very organized. He endorsed his candidate Peck Fox against Nancy Worley for the chairmanship of the defunct Alabama Democratic Party. Worley prevailed because Joe Reed still controls the reigns of the Democratic Party brand in the state. Make no doubt about it, the Democratic Party is the party of African Americans in Alabama. There are a few liberal white Democrats in the state that Reed parades out as face cards. However, he wants it to remain his party, and essentially that is the case. Make no mistake about it, Alabama politics is still driven by race. Whites are primarily Republicans. Blacks are totally Democratic. Politics is nothing more than simply counting. Basic math if you will. There are simply more white folks that vote than black folks who vote. That is why 29 out of 29 state officeholders are Republican. The Democrats have fielded three viable candidates for statewide office in the upcoming November General Election. They will run good races, but they are not going to win. It will be 29 out of 29 come January. Walt Maddox is the best candidate that the Democrats have had in several decades for governor. Maddox is 45 and has been mayor of Tuscaloosa, one of Alabama’s premier and

most prosperous cities for 10 years. He is better qualified and much more able to serve as governor than Kay Ivey. However, Kay is a Republican quasi incumbent, running in a very good economic time. Her handlers are doing an excellent job of running out the clock and keeping quiet. All they have to do is show pictures of Kay cutting ribbons, claiming credit for economic expansion, aligning herself with Trump and clinging to Confederate monuments. The bottom line is she will win because she is the Republican candidate. Joseph Siegelman, the son of former Governor Don Siegelman, is a viable candidate for attorney general. He not only is viable but is vibrant and attractive. He is 30-years old with movie star good looks and he also has a good-looking dog. He exudes integrity and ethics. However, Marshall will prevail over Siegelman because he is the GOP candidate. Although it may be surprising how many votes young Siegelman gets. A lot of folks, including a good many moderate Republicans, believe Siegelman’s dad, Don, was done wrong. He will reap a good many sympathy votes. The third viable Democratic candidate is Robert Vance, Jr., in the race for chief justice of the Supreme Court. He will run a good race. However, Tom Parker will prevail because he is the Republican candidate. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama leading political columnist.

Letter to the Editor

The candidate I trust to do the right thing Dear Editor, At first, I was skeptical. She is young and a novice to the world of politics. However, I have had the opportunity to sit down with Mallory Hagan and witness her skills at communicating, commitment to listening, and ability to seek out and process a wealth of new information. Mallory Hagan is running in the Third District of Alabama for the US House of Representatives. Ms. Hagan asked me to have a discussion about healthcare, in general, and mental health, in particular. I recently retired from 35 years of work in the world of mental health. Twenty of those years were in the setting of a regional hospital. She listened carefully and asked very pertinent questions. She expressed deep commitment to the well-being of the people of Alabama. She understands the need to increase healthcare resources in our state. Like many of our youth, when she completed high school, she

was eager to leave home and find her place in a bigger world. Also, like many, she discovered that she missed and loved her home state. She returned home to work as a local news reporter and now wants to make her home an even better place for its citizens. She is devoted to the well-being of children. She will work tirelessly to ensure that all children can attend safe schools and receive quality education. Likewise, she will fight for all children to have access to quality healthcare, including mental health. This position is crucial in the world of resource shortages for schools, school shootings, bullying and rising suicide rates. Mallory may be young, but she is a fighter and a competitor. She has evidenced this fight by winning the Miss America competition. More importantly, she successfully fought against the same organization when she was bullied by it. She is young, but she is mighty. At this point in history, the Congress will benefit from the ideals, determination

and energy of a youthful, inspiring member like Mallory. Mallory comes from a family that is deeply rooted in Alabama. I have had the honor of working with an Aunt who was employed at DHR and fought for the children under her care. I have also worked with an Uncle, a physician who devotedly cared for his patients in east Alabama. Mallory shares their determination to make this world a better place because of their presence in it! I ask that you look carefully at what is being said by Ms. Hagan before simply voting for the 16-year incumbent. Our government is in chaos. It is crucial that we vote for change. Mallory brings intelligence, energy, ideals, commitment and desire to make positive change for Alabama and the United States of America. Thank you for the opportunity to express my thoughts! Deborah D. Owen Alexander City

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Situations provide challenges that you might choose not to meet. Feel free to make that choice. Pressure to perform to another personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expectations could increase your tension. Walk away from negative situations and people. Do something just for you. Tonight: Happy at home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Others have an odd way of expressing how much they value you. Your unanticipated responses often shock people. A friend or loved one might be stunned by your behavior. Embrace your fun-loving side. Tonight: Allow someone else to make the Ă&#x201E;rst move. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your smile greets others and helps make a diÉ&#x2030;cult situation a lot easier. A partner or dear friend could be withdrawn, but will make an attempt to warm up the atmosphere between you. Do more listening than speaking, and the results will be better. Tonight: Be mischievous. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your mischievous nature emerges, allowing others to loosen up. You lighten the moment and othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; moods just by being you. Your gentle eÉ&#x2C6;orts put a smile on a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face. This person appreciates your eÉ&#x2C6;orts more than you are aware. Tonight: Add spice to your life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Fortunately, you deal well with performance anxiety and pressure. You assume the lead, whereas others cannot. Your personality encourages you not to feel challenged. Do not make assumptions; instead, assess what is fact and what is Ă&#x201E;ction. Tonight: Head home early. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You tend to say exactly what is on your mind. You could shock an older person or someone you care about. You can be sure that there is a veil of confusion around you and a key person in your life. Take a step back for now, and make no judgments. Tonight: Out and about.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to pat yourself on the back, as you seem to be able to rein in your spending. It might be happening slower than you want, but you are getting there. A friend demands to have his or her way. Feel free to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? and walk away. Tonight: OÉ&#x2C6; to a fun happening. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You experience a surge of energy, but choose to say little about what you are thinking. You could change your mind in the next day or so. You gain more information, and through observation will see the situation diÉ&#x2C6;erently. Tonight: Paint the town red with friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) If you choose to lie low, others will understand. You might need some private time to reĂ&#x2026;ect on a recent development. You do not need to share everything with everyone. Do absolutely what you desire, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel as if you must share what you are up to. Tonight: Do your thing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Zero in on your objectives, knowing full well that you might want to wait until a meeting to start fulĂ&#x201E;lling them. A discussion with friends presents a much diÉ&#x2C6;erent perspective. Let others know where you are coming from. Tonight: At a favorite place with favorite people. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could cause a problem when dealing with a boss or higher-up. You need to reach out to someone who could aÉ&#x2C6;ect your life. This person has clout. You will note that passions run high at the present moment. Try to avoid an argument at all costs. Tonight: Take the lead for now. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Be willing to detach. Walk in someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoes in order to understand him or her better. Once you are enlightened, you will be more compassionate. You will be able to interact with others in a more eÉ&#x2030;cient way. Tonight: Listen to a suggestion, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a better time.

to be met in order for the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liability to be taken care of in order for up to 120 people to occupy the building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not in position to tell them what to fix,â&#x20AC;? Flurry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I need a report. They failed to provide that. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the city council was aware of all this until a week or so ago when I spoke to them. They are now aware.â&#x20AC;? The issue now lies with the New Site Town Council as to how they wish to proceed. Commissioners wanted to make sure the public understood the issue was not with District 3 Commissioner John McKelvey and that Flurry was doing the job he was hired to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am concerned they are putting this off on John and it is not something he is doing,â&#x20AC;? commissioner Emma Jean Thweatt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been going on for a year and a half?,â&#x20AC;? commissioner George Carleton asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,â&#x20AC;? Flurry responded â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is the building safe or not?,â&#x20AC;? Thweatt asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not in a position to say,â&#x20AC;? Flurry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You cannot buy lumber today like that. It has been there so long. It has been unoccupied for 20 years. A structural engineer is what I am looking for to walk through underneath, look at the foundation, the walls, the brick. He may say this building is great.

That is all I need and the county is not liable. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pick and choose. We have a church that we stopped. It is Assembly-1, but we still have to have the structural.â&#x20AC;? Carleton was thankful Flurry looked out for the county despite stopping a project important to him â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You do like you are supposed to and you have my backing,â&#x20AC;? Carleton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be fair to everyone.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;My intention, my goal is to promote life safety in all construction of everything built new or renovated,â&#x20AC;? Flurry said. Others commissioners were on the same page as Carleton on the job Flurry is doing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a standard to adhere to and that is for everybody to follow,â&#x20AC;? commissioner Steve Robinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got complaints in the community wanting me to fire him because he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open the gym,â&#x20AC;? McKelvey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All he is doing is his job. If he is doing his job, I am going to back him from here to whenever.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instead of them acknowledging a mistake was made on their end, they are trying to push it back on the county keeping them from doing it,â&#x20AC;? T.C. Coley said. The commission has tried to help New Site with the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have bent over backwards to help them,â&#x20AC;? McKelvey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We furnished funds to help them with

I just want them to comply with the rules we are enforcing for them.â&#x20AC;? Robinson and Coley joined forces with County Administrator Blake Beck to form a committee for interviewing anticipated applicants for the tourism position the county created in the fiscal year 2019 budget. Coley also informed the commission he had been in communication with the National Park Service Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program about what help they could offer the county. Help could include helping develop project and vision goals, mapping resources and identifying funding sources. The commission voted to accept a deed for ownership of the old DHR building. Beck asked the commission to think about what to do with the building. Discussion centered on possibly selling the building, but setting a value for the facility may be difficult as there are no comparables in the area. No action was taken on what to do with the building. The commission also: â&#x20AC;˘ approved minutes from the Sept. 10 meeting and when that meeting was reconvened on Sept. 27. â&#x20AC;˘ approved warrants and purchase orders. â&#x20AC;˘ approved a contract with Lee

ANDY GRAHAM Columnist

Auburn takes wrong turn at the crossroads

hen Auburn lost to LSU on a last-second field goal, most people (including myself) pointed to the game against Mississippi State as a bit of a crossroads for the Tigers that would have a huge impact on the rest of the season. The AU offense had devolved against Arkansas and Southern Miss into an incoherent hodgepodge of negative running plays, unproductive screens and overthrown deep passes. It would be a tall order to have a breakout night against a high-quality Bulldog defense, but that was the hope nonetheless. After all, the Auburn defense was one of the nation’s best and would certainly give the offense every chance to succeed. At the proverbial crossroads, there were three different potential directions Auburn could have taken (other than the road it traveled to get there). The first road would have seen the Auburn offense finally start clicking. Chip Lindsey would put together an outstanding game plan and the players would execute it to perfection. The defense would stifle Nick Fitzgerald like they have the past two years and the Tigers would leave Starkville with confidence, momentum and a good SEC road win. That did not happen. The second road would have seen a gutsy defensive performance shutting down the Bulldog offense just like Kentucky and Florida had done the previous two weeks. The AU offense would continue to struggle with inconsistency but play field position football and make enough plays to put 20 points on the board. It wouldn’t be pretty, but it would almost guarantee the Tigers a 7-1 record when Texas A&M came to town. That did not happen either. Instead, Auburn chose road number three which consisted of the Tigers absolutely throwing away two sure touchdowns and the defense giving up 349 yards rushing. Fitzgerald and company ran the ball on, by and through the Auburn defense and made the Tigers like it. The Tiger offensive line looked outmatched as usual and now Gus Malzahn finds himself 1-2 in the SEC going nowhere in a hurry. This game was extremely important in the moment, but it was also extremely important as far as the rest of the season. A win against the Bulldogs would have kept Auburn in the hunt for the SEC West (at least in theory). Now, that dream is in the sewer with all the other misplaced preseason hype. Motivation is a huge factor in college football and I’m concerned how the Tigers will respond to this latest setback. As usual, there are already whispers of dissension among the ranks. Unless something drastically changes, it’s hard not to expect losses against Texas A&M, Georgia and Alabama. What about Ole Miss? What about Tennessee? Both programs are abysmal, but I haven’t scratched a ‘W’ into any column quite yet. Senior leadership is critically important right now, but the head coach has to be the one to right the ship. It’s his program. Gus Malzahn is in the first year of a seven-year deal worth $49 million, but he’s at a bit of a crossroads himself. The first half of the season has been a disappointment. What now? Just in case you were wondering, Malzahn’s buyout will be $32,143,750 as of December 1, 2018. Andy Graham is a regular columnist for The Outlook.

The

Whitlow is key in big win By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Football has calmed Jordan Whitlow. Just like most people, the now-senior Reeltown Rebel gets in bad moods from time to time. But instead of letting those moods ruin him, Whitlow has channeled that anger into being a standout football player. “Ever since I was 5 years old, I’ve been playing,” Whitlow said. “Growing up, I always used to be an angry little man walking around. My mom put me in football as I was growing up, so I used that to take out my anger.” And Whitlow’s turned into a pretty good football player at that. He is the Outlook Player of the Week after a stellar game both offensively and defensively for the Rebels, who defeated Thorsby in a back-and-forth affair that has virtually locked up the Class 2A Region 4 title for Reeltown. Reeltown coach Matt Johnson must appreciate Whitlow’s angry streak because Johnson talks regularly about “coming to the football mad.” This week, that’s just what the Rebels needed to do to shake off a loss a week earlier and take down Thorsby, which was ranked No. 4 in Class 2A prior to the game. “He’s really stepped up big time for us on both sides of the ball,” Johnson said. “We put him in on offense a few times at fullback and he did an excellent job blocking as always. He even scored a touchdown, and defensively, Jordan’s just Mr. Consistent. He flies around to the ball and had a huge interception to really close out the game.” Whitlow was a force at fullback last season for the

Rebels, and Johnson even said at one point Whitlow was the best fullback he’s ever coached. But this year, Whitlow’s taken up a more regular spot at linebacker, especially after a seasonending injury to Tre Tre Hughley forced the Rebels to change some things around defensively. But Whitlow had been prepping for that role all summer. “(The injury) wasn’t the reason; I think that was the plan all along,” Whitlow said. “But I do kind of miss offense, but I’m just doing what my coaches need me to do. If they call me on offense, then I’ll do my job on offense and on defense.” Whitlow was needed on both sides for the victory against Thorsby. He scored a short touchdown to put the Rebels ahead 14-6 at halftime. Whitlow also picked off the game-icing

interception, as the Rebels held off Thorsby, 34-26. “We got pressure on their quarterback, who was an unbelievable player,” Johnson said. “He did a great job of keeping his eyes down the field. He rolled out to the right and had an open receiver on a crossing route. He hit (the receiver) in stride, and he made a great pass. The receiver caught it, and Rhasheed Wilson laid a lick to him. As soon as Rhasheed hit him, it went up in the air. Jordan had just great effort and hustle; he was sprinting to the play, high-pointed the

ball and got a 10- or 15-yard return on it.” Whitlow is coming to the end of his high school football career, but he couldn’t think of a better way to finish it off. Reeltown is 6-1 with three very winnable games remaining, has already secured a playoff spot and is ranked No. 4 in Class 2A. “I’m really enjoying it,” Whitlow said. “It’s crazy because I’ve never been on a championship team, but this year I think we have the chance to go all the way. I never had this feeling until now.”

appy Birthday to Kelli Dailey Friday, Oct. 15. She lives just on the Coosa-Elmore County line with husband Wesley and their two young boys. Then George Hardy celebrates his Oct. 16 and that same day, my nephew George de Broise in Somerset, England turns 16. I have not seen George since the Christmas of 2005, when he was just three when I was home in England and stayed at my Maurice’s home in Somerset, awaiting his funeral. I had told George that his daddy was the brightest star in the sky and would always be looking down upon him. His reply, “I don’t want my daddy to be a star, I want him here with me.” George was a very bright boy and his father spent a lot of time with his boy, so he learned a lot. Ron and I met his cousin Debbie Morgan Moore who lives in Grady in south Montgomery County for a very nice lunch at Los Cabos in Montgomery. The ‘catch-up’ was excellent, but I am so glad we don’t still live in Montgomery. It is too busy, with too much speeding traffic. When we parted from Debbie, Ron and I came straight home. We love the peacefulness of our place in Coosa County. I haven’t heard from anyone, including Emily Law regarding the Equality School reunion, which was held on the second

ROSIE MORGAN Columnist Sunday of October for many years and I expect it will not happen this year, as the time is so short now. Traffic moved quickly on Saturday to and from Santuck. Guess they were anxious to get home and settled for upcoming football games of the day. Alabama is on a roll for sure. What a game, great entertainment, Roll Tide Roll. You can see how much each player cares and they work so well together as a team. So much energy and agility, obviously keeping every player in top physical condition. The leaves are turning and falling quickly. We really haven’t had much rain, but it will be on the way this week with Hurricane Michael, which may get up to a category three by then. Is your Ark already built? While I was growing up, we had a parakeet, or as we referred to them as a ‘Budgie.’ His name was Joey and he could say “Pretty Joey.” I am so excited because my good friend Rose who travels a lot, wanted to find a home for her two budgies, a yellow female and blue mix male. Of course I said, “Yes please, I’d love to take them.” That’s one reason

Ron often tells me that I am like Ellie Mae from the “Beverly Hillbillies,” Like that character, I do love my animals. Now I just need to clear the space for them in the utility room, so they can see nature through the window. Here around Equality and Nixburg, we have the possibility to get fast internet service in the future through the Central Alabama Electric Co-Op. The co-op is asking that you show your interest in fast service by paying the deposit of $25. If this does not come to fruition, then you will receive your deposit back. If it does work out that there is enough interest to run cables rurally for us, then the $25 deposit will count towards or may cover the installation. Such a disappointment that the Atlanta Braves are now out of the playoffs. The Braves had such a great season, another team that always plays as a team, all working together. Baseball is my favorite sport to watch. Ladies, I have it on good authority that the color red will be big this fall and winter season. Until next week, keep smiling.

Celebrating homecoming

his past Sunday, we celebrated homecoming at Elder Church. I along with most of both sides of my family grew up in this quaint, little country church that sits not too far from the banks of the Tallapoosa River. My mother grew up in a house just up the road, while my dad grew up just down the road. I don’t recall the last time I attended homecoming, but I know it’d been well over a decade, yet I’d never felt more at home. For the first 15 years of my life, minus the weekends we were with our dad, we were on those wooden pews every Sunday morning. Mama sat somewhat towards the back of the church, but grandmamma and granddaddy were way up front ̽ the second row, in fact. It was right next to the lone air conditioner in the window. Maybe there was one on the other side, too. I can’t remember. Either way, we always had those little hand fans with the wooden handle as backups. Small country churches can get hot. Granddaddy sat on one end of the pew, while grandmamma held her spot on the other end. Between them was plenty of room for the grandkids to play. Grandmamma also sat there for easier access to the beautiful old grand piano, which still adorns the sanctuary to this day. You see, she played the piano, as did my mama and my cousin Ginger, both of whom were at homecoming on Sunday. I have no doubt grandmamma was there, too. In my mind, she was Elder Church. Wonderful memories

JODY FULLER Columnist flooded my mind as I walked through those doors for the first time in ages. Sitting behind my grandparents were Mr. Edward and Ms. Willie. They were a sweet couple. He always had candy in his pocket and let me tell you, he had the best lint-covered lemon drops you’ve ever put in your mouth. He always had one for us every Sunday morning. On a side note, there aren’t nearly enough baby girls being named Willie anymore. I tried naming Abigail “Willie,” but Lucy just wasn’t having it. I was immediately swarmed by family as I stepped foot into the hallowed structure, but I think it was because I was holding Abigail. Most of them had never met Lucy or our sweet baby, so it was an eventful entrance. What a blessing it was to bring Lucy and Abigail (Willie) Jennings Fuller home. The church was literally and figuratively built by Jennings and Fullers and Washburns and Ducks and Ingrams and Brasells and Roberts and more. Oh my. All the families were represented on this 127th Homecoming at Elder Church. We sat on the second row, just like my grandparents always did, but the wooden pews were now covered by cushions. The window units were no more, as central heat and air has been installed in recent years, but there were still the little hand fans

with the wooden handle scattered throughout. The sanctuary was beautiful in every way. Each year, on this special day, there is a guest speaker with ties to the church, an incredible potluck dinner, with pear salad and deviled eggs, of course, and gospel singing following the feast. This year, we had the pleasure of listening to the Fellowship Quartet. They were so good, and I’m not just saying that because 50 percent of the group were comprised of my cousins. I had the honor of being the guest speaker this year. I had no idea what I was going to do. I speak all the time, but this was unlike anything I’d ever done. It’s always comforting to see a friendly face in the crowd, but I thought having an entire crowd of friendly faces might be overwhelming, but it wasn’t. I just shared my heartfelt memories of the men and women who helped build the church, with some of my comedy sprinkled in for extra laughs. I’ll never have the problem of remembering when I last attended homecoming again, because as long as they have them, I plan on being there with my family. I can always say that I was there last year. After all, it will always be home. Jody Fuller is from Opelika, Ala. He is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq. He is also a lifetime stutterer.
