Arrest made in 16 area burglaries

City schools see slight decrease in enrollment Numbers up in elementary but down in middle grades By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

Alexander City Schools’ enrollment for the 201516 school year is down by 32 students from last year, according to average daily measurement numbers released Monday by the school system. Average daily measurement is calculated annually by averaging the total attendance for each of the 20 school days immediately following Labor Day. Perstudent allocations from the state’s Education Trust Fund are based on the ADM total from the last completed school year prior to the legislative session. “We lost some students in the middle grades,” Cooper said. “I don’t know if what we’re seeing there is the Russell effect or what, but we obviously had some students who relocated for whatever reason.” Seventh-grade enrollment is down 13 students, eighthgrade is down five. The biggest class loss was ninthgrade, which fell from 318 last year to 232 this year. “The good news is we’re seeing some growth in lower elementary grades,” Cooper said. “Hopefully, as those kids work their way through our system they’ll offset some of these losses.” Most of the elementary growth is at Stephens Elementary, which saw its enrollment grow fro 435 to 457, largely due to a jump in third-grade enrollment from 207 to 249. Enrollment at the remaining schools decreased. Jim See NUMBERS, Page 9

Authorities in Alexander City, Tallapoosa County and Elmore County believe they have a man in custody who has been involved in more than a dozen residential burglaries around Lake Martin. Alexander City Police arrested 37-yearold John Lynn Pons on Sept. 30 on a disorderly conduct charge. That arrest came on the same night as a residential burglary on Lakeview Drive in Alexander City. A short time after his initial arrest, Pons was linked to that incident. “After his arrest we were able to uncover some evidence that linked him to the burglary Pons on Lakeview Drive,” Alexander City Police Chief Willie Robinson said. “We did recover some of the property from that incident. He was charged in that case on Oct. 2. “We continued the investigation and our detectives worked with other agencies and we were able to connect him to three more incidents in our jurisdiction.” Robinson said that Pons was charged on Oct. 8 with two burglaries that occurred onElbert Drive and one that was reported on Wicker Point Drive, all in Alexander City. Through communication with the other agencies, Pons also emerged as a suspect in 16 other similar burglaries. According to court records, Pons plead guilty to third-degree burglary and theft in 2013. Pons burglarized a house stealing guns, jewelry and electronics according to a pleas agreement. He was sentenced to 48 months in

Horizons Unlimited learns of Alabama’s monument man By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

A native Alabamian and Auburn graduate was chiefly responsible for the return to the Belgian government of Jan Van Eyck’s “The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb,” also known as the Ghent Altarpiece, which the Nazi government had stowed away with more than 6,500 works of art in an Austrian salt mine. The recovery of priceless historical works of art pilfered by the Nazis during World War II and the men – known as the Monuments Men – tasked with their recovery and with the protection of other works was the subject of the 2014 movie “The Monuments Men,” in which Bill Murray played a character loosely based on Auburn gradu-

ate and Morris native Robert Kelley Posey, according to Paul A. Harris, a professor of political science and associate director of the Honors College at Auburn. Harris spoke to Alex City’s Horizons Unlimited group on Monday in the Alexander City Board of Education Board Room on “Alabama’s Monument Man: Capt. Robert K. Posey and the Quest for the Mystic Lamb.” Harris detailed Posey’s poor childhood in the Birmingham area and his attendance at Auburn on an ROTC scholarSubmitted / The Outlook ship.

The Outlook

DEAR ABBY: I’m writing regarding the letter from “She’s Killing Them in Indiana” (July 8) and your response to the writer, whose friend is HIVpositive and doesn’t tell her partners her diagnosis. I am a disease intervention specialist (DIS) in Indiana and work specifically with STDs like HIV. In Indiana there is a duty to warn law that requires anyone who is HIV-positive to inform any past or present sexual or needle-sharing partners of her/ his HIV status. At the time of diagnosis, all providers inform the patient of this, and DIS’s like me are required to get a signed copy of this law from HIV-positive individuals. This year there was a large outbreak of HIV in a rural southern area of Indiana. More than 100 new infections occurred within just three short months. If individuals like this woman do not inform partners, then the risk is high for another outbreak.

DEAR ABBY Advice

The person who wrote you should contact the Indiana State Department of Health’s Recalcitrant Program and inform them of this situation. All information is kept confidential. Counseling could be provided, and then if she continues not informing, legal action could be taken against her. -MELISSA MURAWSKI DEAR MELISSA: Readers were upset about the gravity of that letter. They felt it was not only a health issue but also one of morality, and the legal issues could land the writer’s friend in serious trouble, including jail. You are right that the person who wrote that letter should contact the appropri-

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been together for 10 years. Like all couples do, we’ve had our ups and downs, but we love each other very much. Two months ago, we welcomed our first son into our family; we are overjoyed. Raising a newborn has its challenges because babies don’t come with an owner’s manual. Our communication has always been good, and we work hard in our relationship to keep it that way. When we disagree, we try not to fight in front of the baby or raise our voices. But something my wife does bothers me. She talks about me to the baby. An example: “Apparently you’re too stressful for Daddy right now, but not for me.” I have asked her to please not do it. I understand that he’s only 2 months old and can’t understand her, but I don’t feel

disparaging me in front of him is right. Am I wrong? Or am I being overly sensitive? -- NEEDS HELP IN NEW YORK DEAR NEEDS HELP: I don’t think you’re being overly sensitive. It is important for an infant’s development that the parents talk to him or her. While your baby may be too young to understand what’s being said right now, your wife is forming a habit that both of you may regret later. It implies that she is the “good mommy” and you are the “bad daddy” who can’t deal with his son. If this continues, at some point the boy WILL get the message, and it won’t be good for the relationship you have with her or the one you have with your son.

Our

Opinion

A look back at last week’s highs and lows THUMBS UP: It was incredible to see the community support shown at Saturday’s departure ceremony for the 214th Military Police Unit. The Benjamin Russell High School auditorium was packed to the rafters with troops, loved ones and community leaders. There were plenty of emotional images as goodbyes were said and as a community thanked the troops for their service and commitment to insuring freedom when they are needed. Thank you troops. Be safe and Godspeed. Thumbs up to the community for loving these soldiers. THUMBS DOWN: Today we have a report on a suspect being arrested for as many as 16 burglaries in our area. Hidden in that story is the fact that the suspect is not new to this kind of activity. John Pons plead guilty to a burglary and theft in 2013, but despite being sentenced to 48 months in that case, here he is less than two years later back on the streets accused of doing the same thing over and over again. The state of prisons in Alabama is to blame. Somehow, we need to give law enforcement a fighting chance and keep criminals locked up for the length of their sentence.

The Republican’s best email offer seeking donations

he National Lampoon once put out a boxed set of radio programs with a jarring cover photo and the title, “Buy this Box or We’ll Shoot this Dog.” That over-the-top marketing came to mind as I read an email from Sean Cairncross, Chief Operating Officer of the Republican National Committee. “Friend,” his email begins, “I want to cut you a deal.” This was followed by an offer that even Vito Corleone might have a hard time refusing: “Starting right now, chip in at least $20 to the Republican National Committee (RNC) within the next 24 hours, and we won’t send you any fundraising emails for the rest of October.” In order to appreciate the value of such an offer you have to be on the email list for one or both major parties. Their emails are incessant, poorly written and each focused in one way or another on getting money. Anyone who clicks through to make an actual donation is assured of one thing: getting even more emails asking for even more money. Just a few days before Cairncross made his eyeopening offer, there was a Republican Party email from someone identified only as “Katherine.” She began: “I know you’ve received a few emails, but please don’t delete this

PETER FUNT Guest Columnist

one.” Nice: the “please don’t delete” ploy. Clearly GOP headquarters was already sensing the negative impact of too many emails and too many deletions. She did manage to get around quickly to the money thing, informing me that any sum I gave “before 5 p.m. today will be triple matched!” Not bad, but not nearly so compelling as the Get Out of Email card from Sean Cairncross. After all, it was just a few days earlier that GOP party chief Reince Priebus emailed, “There would be nothing worse than for the Democrats to out-raise us during this critical time.” Nothing worse? That’s almost as chilling as the thought of an innocent dog getting shot in the head. I should mention that during this very same period JetBlue emailed me, “Your grand vacation awaits!” Denny’s emailed, “New dinner sandwiches and 20% off!” L.L. Bean emailed about “Indestructible Tees.” But none had the wisdom to offer an email deal that would allow me to buy my way out of receiving more emails, until the overly-kind

Cairncross stepped forward. Alas, even he seemed to hedge just a bit. “You’ll stay in the know with Republican news and updates,” he explained, “but that’s it!” Sheesh. How much “news”? How many “updates” per hour? And are these updates about, you know, raising money? He also added that his offer was necessary because “the Clinton-Obama Machine (is) relying on the Hollywood elite and liberal billionaires.” That makes sense. Most Hollywood elite and liberal billionaires are able to hire people to screen their email and wouldn’t be moved by a deal in which, as Mr. Cairncross cleverly puts it, “Your inbox will thank you.” For Republicans, I think the pay-us-to-take-thepebble-out-of-your-shoe approach slickly showcases synergy between politics and capitalism. But the email offer is just the beginning. Now, how about, “For each $1 million we raise in the next 24 hours we’ll remove another podium from the debate stage!” Or, “If we collect $5 million by midnight we’ll keep Donald Trump off all talk shows this month!” Peter Funt is a writer and speaker.

THUMBS DOWN: When the state announced the closure of several drivers license offices, including two in Tallapoosa County, the state cited saving funds. Most folks didn’t know that the state didn’t pay a penny in rent or utilities to occupy those offices. The state isn’t cutting any employees as result of the closures. The only savings is in travel reimbursement. Figures recently released show that is less $135,000 statewide. Is this blow to residents worth that? We don’t think so.

Time for sensible background checks

n the wake of the recent homicidal shooting rampage at an Oregon community college, I’m forced to come to the conclusion that it is high time for common sense national background checks for journalists. It’s time we closed the political loophole and prevented biased, ignorant political operatives from getting their hands on a dangerously misleading national microphone. RedState has a perfect example this week. Former Bill Clinton White House aide, and current Clinton Foundation donor George Stephanopoulos, is the host for ABC’s This Week. He uses his “bully pulpit” to bully conservatives and Republicans. During an interview with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Stephanopoulos interrupted Christie to assert, “But there’s no question the pace of mass shootings is accelerating, happening more frequently than anywhere else. If it’s not the gun, then what is it?” This is a perfect example of leftist thinking. As Dennis Prager points out, the left always blames the inanimate object and never the user. During the Cold War the left wanted to ban atomic

weapons rather than condemn and work to overthrow totalitarian regimes that could use The Bomb to further their ends. Leftist–in– Chief Obama continues to be fixated on nuclear weapons and behind the scenes is working to render our nuclear deterrent impotent. Now the left is fixated on the gun. Blaming the user of the gun is out of the question, because that involves individual responsibility. Once America starts thinking in terms of individual responsibility again, it has the potential to open up a line of questioning that is very uncomfortable for big government leftists. For example: Why can’t you find a job? Where is the father of your children? How did your home enter foreclosure? What do you spend your money on? Why have we lost the War on Poverty? After demonizing the gun, leftists like Stephanopoulos use false data from anti–gun pressure groups to contradict defenders of the 2nd

Amendment. First they change the definition of “mass shooting.” Before the numbers started to trend against them, the definition was at least four deaths NOT counting the shooter. Now gun grabbers use three deaths as a minimum or they include the wretched shooter in the total. Naturally, as if by magic in a cloud of cordite, there are more mass shootings, but even doctored statistics can’t support the “accelerating” claim. The RedState graph shows mass shootings peaked in 2004 and have not reached that peak since. Since 2008, mass shootings have been trending downward. I’m certain rabid Democrat defenders of media bias will block my common sense background checks for journalists bill in the Senate. So in the meantime I can only advise you to beware leftists bearing statistics.

Open Door Wednesday to start

Images of Octoberfest 2015

By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

Cliff Williams / The Outlook

Alexander City Parks and Recreation celebrated its 35th annual Octoberfest this past Saturday with music fun and food. Clay County’s Harleigh Waldrop, above, enjoys some roasted corn from one of the vendors while waiting to board a trolley back to the parking lot. Left, professional bass fisherman Greg Vinson helps Price Tatum, 5, of Alexander City with some casting. Below, children enjoy on of many activities for kids. Bottom, visitors take in the car show.

Guard gathered to see off the unit’s approximately 140 soldiers that there is no need to worry. “I appreciate the sacrifices you are making,” Eiswerth said. “To the family, relatives and friends, you are making sacrifices as well. We will keep a good eye on your soldier. We have met all of our training requirements. We are going to Bliss and we are going to succeed there too as well.” “You are well-trained,” Pike said. “You are welllead, you are ready for this most important mission.” Pike went on to explain that this is not new to the 214th. “This is not new to you,” Pike explained. “This is your third deployment in the war on terror.” Families are not the only

Beginning Wednesday morning, Benjamin Russell High School parents will have a oncea-month opportunity to take a look inside their children’s classrooms for a snapshot of the schools integration of technology, soft and leadership skills. Parents are invited to the school’s Open Door Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. beginning tomorrow and the first Wednesday of each month through April. “It’s an opportunity for the parents to see the kids at work in the classroom, but it’s also an opportunity for the high school kids to work on their soft skills,” said Darrel Cooper, superintendent of Alexander City Schools. “They will have a chance to welcome their visitors, introduce themselves and others, show them around the classroom and speak with them about what they’re doing in school.” Cooper said that parents who may not be able to visit during one of the Open Door Wednesdays should call Benjamin Russell and schedule a visit at another time. “I know that’s something (Benjamin Russell Principal) Dr. (Anthony) Wilkinson encourages and is happy to do,” Cooper said.

ones to miss the soldiers of the 214th while they are deployed. “I have three officers that will be deployed with them,” Alexander City Police Chief Willie Robinson said. “It will be tough. We are having to move some people around to make sure things get covered.” The Alexander City Police Department is not the only local agency to have soldiers deployed with the 214th as the Dadeville Police Department has a full-time and reserve officer and the Alexander City Fire Department is losing two people to the deployment. With the 214th deploying to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, local authorities

want the state to rethink placing the Alexander City armory, home of the 214th on the Armory closing list. “The 214th has always made us proud,” Alexander City mayor Charles Shaw said. “We are proud of our soldiers. I am proud to say that the 214th is from Alexander City.” “We have a fight here at home that we as a community need to stand together and fight for these soldiers,”

Talllapoosa County commissioner John McKelvey said. “The house that they built and represent here in Alexander City is on the list to be closed. I would like to make a request of the governor and this state to look at this situation and think about the impact that it will leave on our friends and families. Let’s not kick our soldiers our their house while they are fighting so you can keep yours.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll express exactly what is on your mind. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be overly concerned if you witness a lack of response. Others are quietly weighing the pros and cons. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if someone pulls you aside at a later point to discuss your ideas. Tonight: Nap, then decide. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You could be at a point where you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to come up with the right answer. A partner is likely to pitch in and help you get through a problematic project. Say thank you in your own way. This person might have an attitude, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let it get to you. Tonight: Return calls. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Make time for a conversation, even if the other person is reticent. You could be overwhelmed by what you hear. Try to remain supportive and positive when dealing with this person. Give more thought to what he or she shares later in the day. Tonight: OÉ&#x2C6; to the gym. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Stay close to home. A conversation could come up that gives you food for thought. You might feel as if you are being pushed in a certain direction, but need more time to consider your choices. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to schedule a dentist appointment. Tonight: Add some spice to the night. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Make an eÉ&#x2C6;ort to break through someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emotional walls. You can be charming and kind, but unless the other party wants to open up, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do any good. Let the issue go if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break through. Give this person some time and space. Tonight: Head home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You sometimes take your innate skills for granted, and as a result, others do as well. Take some time to yourself to recognize what you have to oÉ&#x2C6;er, and refuse to let people take advantage of you. Tonight: Hang out with a pal at a

favorite place. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Handle as many important matters as possible today, as your charisma and intellect are peaking. You have an interesting Ă&#x201E;nancial predicament coming in. You need to be more aware of your spending. Tonight: Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to an irresistible oÉ&#x2C6;er. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Lie low and listen more closely when engaged in conversation, no matter whom you are dealing with. As a result, you are likely to discover what the other partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priorities and character traits are. You will learn a lot. Tonight: Beam in what you want. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t avoid a get-together. Remain sure of yourself, as your presence does make a diÉ&#x2C6;erence. Be responsive to inquiries, and be willing to share your thoughts. You have strong ideas, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to use them to help others. Tonight: Make it early. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You stand out when involved with others. You give perceptive feedback, which helps people get past limited thinking. At the same time, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel as if you are talking down to them. Recognize your limits in this role. Tonight: Where the crowds are. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling triggered by a situation, step back and do more listening, and be aware of your reactions. You might want to Ă&#x201E;gure out when you Ă&#x201E;rst felt these feelings. You are likely to end up taking on greater responsibility later in the afternoon. Tonight: Not to be stopped. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might be delighted yet surprised by how much someone else wants to do for you. Relate to this person on a one-on-one level to draw him or her out more. Be willing to make calls and run some important errands later in the day. Tonight: Use your instincts well.

assemble a Reich-wide museum in his boyhood home of Linz, Austria. The German officer also offered information that led Posey and Kiersten to a salt mine near the Austrian village of Alt Aussee, Harris said. “Posey arrived in Alt Aussee on May 12, 1945 and there he discovered deep within the mine van Eyck’s Mystic Lamb and more than 6,500 paintings and other works of art including Michelangelo’s Bruges Madonna and Vermeer’s the Astronomer,” Harris said. “From May 1945 up to his return to the U.S. later that fall, Posey oversaw the rescue of thousands of priceless works by Vermeer, Raphael, Rembrandt, Michelangelo and others.” Harris said that, upon leaving the service, Posey had little contact with his fellow Monuments Men and rarely discussed his activities in World War II. He was, however, rewarded by being named a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor and Chevalier of the Order of Leopold by the Belgian government.

jail and ordered to pay more than $6,200 in restitution, according to court records. In Tallapoosa County, Pons was arrested and charged with burglary, theft, criminal mischief and criminal trespass relating to two incidents in the Windmere area of the county. Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett said the key was the ability to work together in these cases. “I’d just like to thank all the agencies and people involved,” Abbett said. “Alexander City, Elmore County and Russell Lands Security all played significant roles in this investigation. The ability to compare notes and share information has made it possible to link these cases to this individual.” Elmore County Sheriff Bill Franklin said his investigators have interviewed Pons and believe he is connected to as many as 10 burglaries in Elmore County over the last 30 days. He said all the incidents are similar and the fact authorities in Elmore and Tallapoosa counties work so well

together it should be easy pulling the pieces of the investigation together. “When it comes to the burglaries at the lake, we often find that they cross county lines,” Franklin said. “They may be some here in Elmore, but we normally find there are others in Tallapoosa and often in Coosa as well. “We all do a pretty good job of communicating and sharing information between our agencies. In this instance, I believe we will be able to close at least 10 cases with this arrest. With that said, this is still an active investigation and we could have more information at a later date.” Franklin said that this scenario isn’t uncommon. “We see this time and time again,” Franklin said. “We make an arrest and send them to jail. They aren’t there long and they get out and go right back to what they were doing before, usually to support a drug habit. “I understand how things are at the state level and in our prisons, but until we are able to keep them off the streets, it’s going to be a problem time and time again.”

officer in Gen. George Patton’s Third Army. “It was his work as a monuments officer that would distinguish him,” said Harris. It wasn’t long after Posey’s arrival in Normandy in 1944 a military courier handed him photographs of the Ghent Altarpiece, arguably the single most influential painting ever. “It was the first great oil painting as well as the first great panel painting of the Renaissance,” Harris said. “It was Belgium’s most sacred and coveted work.” But Hitler, Harris said, coveted the work as well and ordered that it be taken to a hiding place deep within Germany’s Reich. In March of 1945, Harris said, Posey came down with a toothache. It may have been the most fortuitous toothache in art history. Pfc. Lincoln Kiersten was sent to find help and happened to meet a former SS officer who offered to Kiersten and Posey that a massive theft program was being orchestrated by the Nazis and Hitler planned to

INTO THE VALLEY No. 6 Wildcats look for fourth region win at Valley By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

When the Benjamin Russell Wildcats travel to Valley on Friday night, they know they will be facing a team with its back against the wall. The No. 6 Wildcats (7-1, 3-1 in Class 6A-Region 3) will travel to face the Valley Rams (3-4, 2-2 in Class 6A-Region 3) on Friday at 7 p.m. Benjamin Russell Coach Danny Horn said both teams will have plenty to play for in this year’s version of the annual region showdown. “They’re 2-2 in the region, so they’re still in it for a playoff spot,” Horn said. “We’re 3-1 and have to beat them to secure second place. Both teams have a lot riding on this game.” Horn said the Rams like to mix it up offensively and bring the pressure on defense. “Offensively, sometimes they get in the I (formation) and sometimes they spread,” Horn said. “They’ve got their whole offensive line in tact from last year, but they lost some skill people. Defensively, they love to blitz.” The Wildcats are coming off a 42-24 region win over Chelsea, while Valley is entering Friday’s game off a 71-0 loss to top-five Opelika. But Horn said the Wildcats cannot get caught up in the score from last week’s games or they could fall prey to a good Rams team. “I know people are going to look at the score from last week where they lost 71-0 to Opelika and think they’re not good,” Horn said. “But I’ve been at it long enough to know that sometimes there are games where things don’t go your way, you make a lot of mistakes and have turnovers. Look at us and Chelsea: are we 42 points better than Chelsea? I don’t know. But a lot of it is because we were playing well and they weren’t playing too well. You can’t look at scores, and that’s something we have to convince these kids of because they’ve got a pretty good team that’s good enough to beat us.”

Benjamin Russell running back NeColby Maxwell and the Wildcats will look for their fourth straight region win on Friday when they travel to Valley.

Horn added that the Rams are also a very good team at home. “Plus, they’re 3-0 at home and 0-4 on the road. They always play a lot better at home,” Horn said. “We’re going to prepare for them just like we’d prepare for anybody else. We’ve got to win this one.” Last week’s win for

BRHS saw quarterback Tyre Gray go 6-of-6 passing for 145 yards and one touchdown for the runfirst Wildcats. Horn said the passing game has been a nice compliment to the run game, and he hopes to see that trend continue the rest of the season. “We went into the game knowing that we were

going to throw it a little bit more because we saw some things we thought we could do well passing,” Horn said. “We can throw it pretty well. We’re not going to throw it 20 times a game, but I think we need to open it up a little more. And as the season goes on, I expect us to do that.”

Two region foes will enter Friday’s matchup looking for a little relief from long losing streaks in Class 2A-Region 5. The Horseshoe Bend Generals (0-7, 0-4 in Class 2A-Region 5) will travel to face the Woodland Bobcats (1-6, 0-4 in Class 2A-Region 5) on Friday at 7 p.m. Both teams enter after losses to region opponents last week, as Horseshoe Bend fell 44-7 at home to region-leading Ranburne, while Woodland fell 31-6 at Reeltown. For Generals Coach Jason Franklin, he sees a lot of Horseshoe Bend in the Bobcats, as both teams have been in their fair share of close games but have not finished the job. “Woodland is kind of like us struggling a little bit right now,” Franklin said. “They’re a spread-based team, but are primarily going to be a run-first team. They’re just like us. The record doesn’t dictate how they’ve played this year. They’ve been in a lot of ballgames, too, but just haven’t been able to finish anything kind of like us this year.” Franklin said the coaching staff has been trying to reinforce the positives during this losing streak. For instance, the Generals led Ranburne 7-6 after a solid first quarter of defense, but little mistakes completely shifted the momentum. “That’s something we’ve been preaching on this year – you can’t let one thing dictate how you’re going to go out and play,” Franklin said. “Last week, even if you look at the first half, it wasn’t a terrible half of football we played. If we eliminate two plays, a long touchdown and a pass where we tipped it and it went to them, we’re in good position. We just didn’t execute with enough effort.” Franklin said the team that wins the turnover battle will be the one that ends its losing skid on Friday night. “Whoever can take advantage of the mistakes and force turnovers is going to have a chance to win,” Franklin said. “Whoever can force turnovers and not be the ones giving the ball away, that will be key.”

Ranking the top ten teams based on their accomplishments

here is an argument every year about the college football polls. Should they wait for a few weeks of a season’s play to come out? Should they come out at all? Well, we all know people enjoy ranking things; High school recruits, greatest TV shows, Presidential candidates, ugliest pets. It stands to reason we are going to continue to have the various polls. That said, I admit that preseason polls may very well bias ranking throughout the year. Pollsters have gotten better at ranking based on body of work, but it is still not a perfect system (see: Ohio State still at number one). So I plan to remedy the bias by ranking the top ten teams here today based on their accomplishments in 2015 alone. Read at your own peril. 1. Utah – Yeah, I know…

LUKE ROBINSON Sports Columnist

I didn’t see this coming either. However, the Utes have a nice win on the road at Oregon (though it has since diminished in value based on the Ducks’ woes) and a fantastic win at home against Michigan. 2. TCU – Yikes. I am NOT liking the way this playoff is shaping up, but I have to give the Horned Frogs their due. They have played with fire a few times this year, but they continue to win and at least (unlike Baylor) they tried scheduling a Power 5 Conference team in Minnesota. 3. Texas A&M – Alabama’s

next opponent has a nice victory over a Pac-12 squad and has beaten two decent in-conference foes. Improved QB and defensive line play gets the Aggies the third spot. 4. Clemson – Dabo Swinney may want “Clemsoning” to mean something new: Making the college football playoff. (By the way, if this poll held true it wouldn’t even be sexy enough for C-SPAN.) 5. Ohio State – Ugh. Honestly, if any of the remaining candidates had just a SLIGHTLY better resume` the Buckeyes would be ranked much lower in my poll. Their schedule has been worse than we thought it would be and their play on the field has been suspect at best. 6. Michigan – OK, this is where it gets weird, BUT UM has done a lot to be impressed with. There are other teams that are undefeated, but they have gen-

erally played rusted soup cans. Michigan gets Michigan State at home this weekend and a win would begin to make the Ohio State game seem mighty large again. 7. Baylor – Double ugh. I don’t doubt Baylor is good, but I refuse to reward a team that only schedules 2A Alabama high school competition. Beat someone – anyone – that has a pulse and the Bears will move up. 8. LSU – This pick looks a lot better after Brandon Harris threw some pretty passes last Saturday. The Tigers do still have weaknesses, but until someone stops (i.e., slightly slows down) Leonard Fournette their deficiencies won’t matter. 9. Florida – Who knew that all the Gators needed was a good head coach to get back on the right track? Well, I guess just about everyone, but still… 10. Florida State – Yes, their

schedule lacks punch. Yes, they have been living on the wire. But the Seminoles are sporting a perfect record for the moment and that gets them the nod over Alabama (who has a home loss), Michigan State (who looks lost often) and Ole Miss (who was humiliated by Florida). If you don’t like my top ten, good news! It will most certainly look noticeably different next Sunday. By the way, as an aside, if you are interested in watching the Alabama/ Texas A&M game with the Lake Martin Bama Club, call Willow Point Country Club at 256-212-1407 to reserve a spot for Saturday’s game. $30 per person and you don’t have to be a member (of either club) to come. There will be food provided and a cash bar. Hope to see you there! Robinson is a sports columnist for The Outlook and president of the Lake Martin Bama Club.
