One of the busiest weekends of the year at Wind Creek State Park is coming up, as the park prepares for its 12th annual Fall Festival celebration this Saturday. “All of our 586 campsites have been booked up for this weekend,” Wind Creek superintendent Bruce Adams said. “We try to hold it every year on the third weekend in October. We try to avoid having it on Halloween weekend.” Adams said the fun begins for campers Friday evening, with a pumpkin carving contest and educational presentation, while there may also be a movie scheduled if there is good weather that evening. The main event kicks off Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m. with a 5K run. There will be a carnival set up in the equine camping area opening at 12:30 p.m. The carnival includes rides, inflatables and a game area See FESTIVAL • Page 3

This event is put on by career tech students to help expose their classmates to some of the potential career fields awaiting them after school. “This is our third year of doing this,” career tech teacher Kim Davis said. “We have information about the academies here at the high school and the career paths available through each one.” There were display tables from Anthony Hart’s robotics classes demonstrating robots, drones and even 3D printers.

DEAR ABBY: I am suffering from a depression I think many mothers experience when they become empty nesters. Although my husband is supportive, I miss my 18-year-old so much that sometimes I’m tempted to drive to his college in Florida. My husband and I have always wanted to live in a warmer climate, but he doesn’t like the humidity in Florida. We had planned to move to Arizona once my son went away to college, but now I’m having second thoughts because the drive to Arizona from Orlando is twice the distance, and I don’t think I can take his being that far away. I have good job offers in Arizona, and family there as well, so I know it would be a healthier place for me to be. I just cannot reconcile with the fact that my son will be so far away. He will be in college in Orlando for the next five years, as he is in a master’s degree engineering program. Am I being overprotective? He’s my

Do you plan to move again to be close to him? Continue your counseling and meds. And while you’re at it, find a volunteer project so you won’t have time to sit and brood. With time, your anxiety will subside, and you will become less emotionally dependent upon your son -which will be healthier for both of you. DEAR ABBY: I have read many of your columns and enjoyed them. These days though, you seem to hear from more and more people who are afraid of saying what needs to be said. I suspect it can be chalked up to the “be politically correct� nature of our country lately. But why is it that when people do speak their minds, others consider
them rude? I let people know when they are disrespectful to me in public, and I don’t put up with being put down. Am I wrong in feeling that people who say mean things need to be immediately corrected? Or am I really being rude? -FARMGIRL IN MISSOURI DEAR FARMGIRL: You are not wrong, and it is not rude if you choose to defend yourself. What you are being is assertive, which is a healthy personality trait. No one should have to accept as normal social interaction being made to feel “less than� in public.

The New Site Volunteer Fire Department held its annual fish fry fundraiser Saturday. The fundraiser brought in $5,000 to the department, which firefighter June Sharpe said will go towards keeping the department operational. Submitted / The Outlook
Career welding, a cosmetology area demonstrating hairstyling and working with nails, students discussing what being an engineer is like and some talking about which in-state colleges offer degrees in art and textile design. The BRHS Navy JROTC unit even had a table set up, sharing with attendees all the things the unit is involved with and some of the benefits from joining the military. As students at Benjamin Russell prepare for life after high school, having events like World of Works can help them weigh all of the advantages and disadvantages to certain career fields they may be interested in. Although they may be several years away from graduation, this exposition also has benefits for the eighthgraders at ACMS as they prepare to enter their high school careers and take a serious look at their future. “We feel our middle school students need to start early so they can be focused on what they’re interested in,” Davis said. During a break between the two groups from ACMS touring the event, the Leadership Lake Martin Class of 2019 spent a moment examining the expo, seeing what information the students had to offer.

As part of the cosmetology display area during World of Works, BRHS students were demonstrating things like properly painting fingernails to those visiting the table.
Since starting the event three years ago, Davis said the World of Works has been a successful program, educating students about some of the potential paths open
to them after high school and what will be required for each option. “World of Works is our main showcase event of this. We do have other things we do through-
out the year, but this is our main event,” Davis said. “We have seen increased enrollment in several of our programs since we started this.”

where guests can earn tickets to win prizes. The carnival will be followed by a costume parade at 4:30 at the playground, trickor-treating from 5:30 to 6:30 and hayrides to start at 7 p.m. Judging of the campsites decorated for Halloween will also begin at 7 p.m. While Adams said there is a lot of labor involved in putting the festival together, he feels it is well worth it, giving everyone in attendance the chance to have fun in a family-friendly environment. “Everyone enjoys it. We hear a lot of positive reactions from everybody,” Adams said. “We already have people booking campsites for next year’s festival.” In some regards, Adams said the weekend of the Fall Festival is the busiest weekend of the year at the park, even more so than the Labor Day weekend. He estimated the event averages between 3,500 and 4,000 people on Saturday, while some campers were already setting up their decorations Monday afternoon. For those who want to attend the fall festival but have not reserved a camping spot, Adams said the day use fee will apply for park guests. “While it takes a lot to set it up and clean up afterwards, we really enjoy putting this on,” Adams said.

hen was the last time you helped someone out? It could be something as simple as holding the door for someone entering a restaurant. It could be cutting your neighbor’s grass. It could be taking a meal to a shut in. It might be volunteering to help with recovery efforts in the panhandle of Florida, but you don’t have to go to the disaster zone. There are several organizations locally accepting donations to help the recovery efforts taking things as simple as water. How hard is that? While you are at it, share the lesson of giving. Take your children, grandchildren and friends along. Share the reasons why you are helping out and encourage others to find a cause to help. Share the idea while giving money to causes is nice, it is not the only way to give. Giving time will almost always provide a better lesson to those giving. Think about giving time to Habitat for Humanity helping put up and paint walls. You might meet someone you would not otherwise meet and learn a little more about the world. Take the time to deliver a hot lunch for Meals on Wheels and meet the grandmother you have never met. Take the time to volunteer at the Renew Our Rivers Cleanup next month and take your children with you. They might learn how important a clean environment is to our daily lives. They could learn strangers are not necessarily bad. The simple acts of volunteering and sharing conversation with fellow volunteers over a simple activity of giving will create a community everyone wants to be part of. Who knows, the stranger you meet today at Meals on Wheels could be at your child’s wedding in 10 years.

o whatever you have to do. Just win, baby.” Nancy Pelosi’s feisty, candid and pragmatic words to Harvard students on Tuesday reflected the House Democratic leader’s full adaptation to the role of designated dart board for House Republicans. She granted full absolution to party hopefuls who think they’ll enhance their chances of winning by promising not to elect her House Speaker. “None of us is indispensable,” she declared amiably. But then came a steely postscript: “You can’t let the opposite party choose the leader of your party.” “And I say this especially to women,” she added, “because they think women are going to run away from the fight. But you can’t do that. You believe in what you have to offer.” She does, and her implications are clear. Republicans want to get rid of her because she’s effective. Sexism is a big reason for her starring role as an ogre in GOP advertising. And while Democrats should say what they need to say now, they’d do well to be wary of deposing her in response to pressure from the other side. Speaking before a packed house at an event sponsored by the Kennedy School of Government’s Institute of Politics, Pelosi made as clear as she could that — far from being the ultra-liberal of conservative demonology — she is thoroughly in touch with the sensibilities of the swing voters her House candidates need to persuade. She didn’t mention President Trump until well into the conversation, emphasizing instead the Democrats’ core promises: to hold down health care costs; to enact campaign-finance reform and other democratizing political changes; and to implement a big infrastructure program that Trump himself might back. Pelosi pushes hard against
reflecting in part a desire for generational change.

Dear Editor, I’m writing to respond to a recent letter in The Alexander City Outlook which misrepresents Red Cross finances. Donors have a right to know how we use their donated dollars. The fact is an average of 91 cents of every dollar the American Red Cross spends is invested in humanitarian services and programs, with the remainder going to necessary expenses such as fundraising, management and other general expenses. One of our top priorities is to be cost-conscious. We try to keep our fundraising and management and general costs low, so we can spend more on people who urgently need our services. We are regularly looking for ways to streamline, consolidate operations and reduce
expenses. We use volunteers every day (approximately 300,000 nationwide) to keep costs low. Furthermore, the Red Cross honors donor intent; if a donor designates their donation for a specific disaster, it goes to that disaster. The current president and CEO of the American Red Cross is Gail McGovern, her base salary is $550,000. This is considered in the middle range for executives of large nonprofits like the Red Cross with an overall budget of $2.7 billion a year. Additionally, McGovern has personally given more than $500,000 in charitable donations to the American Red Cross since becoming CEO in 2008. The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of
disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission. For more information, please visit redcross.org or cruzrojaamericana.org, or visit us on Twitter at @RedCross. We are thankful to all of our donors and without their donation of blood, money and time we could not be there for our neighbors during their times of need. Dick Amberg Board Chair American Red Cross Of Central Alabama Montgomery

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) What starts out as a mixed message could straighten out quickly without you making an eɈort. The unexpected takes its toll, as usual. However, it also opens you up to a new adventure. You push a friend toward an idea that works well for both of you. Tonight: Accept an oɈer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have a lot on your mind. When going to an important source of feedback, you might Ă„nd that this person is not ready to deal with you. Make decisions on your own for now. Where there could be a diɈerence of opinion, you’ll need to support yourself. Tonight: Finish what you started. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be ready for a diɈerent type of opportunity. At Ă„rst, confusion surrounds you, as many people don’t understand that you are taking steps into the unknown. Be careful with an argumentative person who wants you to agree with him or her. Tonight: Paint the town red. CANCER (June 21-July 22) One-on-one relating proves most rewarding, as long as you maintain excellent communication. It is easy to have a misunderstanding; it’s much harder to stay in sync with each other. You need to understand where others are coming from. Tonight: Opt to be a duo. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Understand that many people around you are heading in diɈerent directions. This opens up the potential for disagreements. Accept diɈerences rather than trying to make everyone think alike. You’ll Ă„nd life more rewarding with a positive attitude. Tonight: Accept Ă…attery. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Pace yourself, as you have a lot to complete. You also have to make several appointments and personal calls. You have the wherewithal to make choices that suit you well. Don’t allow yourself to do anything halfway. Take your time. Tonight: Run an errand on the way home.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You have a wild streak inside you that you have diɉculty hiding for any length of time. When distracted or irritated, your impulsiveness emerges. This allows for more fun in your life. Bow out of a misunderstanding. You will feel better as a result. Tonight: Let your inner child out. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Pressure builds around the homefront. You might have started the day with a quarrel or misunderstanding. Do not allow this disagreement to permeate your day. When the other party makes an eɈort, even if it is combative, be responsive. Tonight: Make peace, not war. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Break past existing barriers rather than start an argument. Note how diɈerent each person is. Understand that others’ ideas develop and are nurtured by their unique personalities. An eɈort made toward another person will ultimately be worth it. Tonight: Call a friend, then make plans. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be sorry that you’ve made certain choices that have pointed you in a particular direction. Your ability to move in deliberate ways and act the way you want could create more of a problem than you originally had anticipated. Tonight: Do some shopping on the way home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You seem to beam, even in moments of conĂ…ict. You do not always act quickly or impulsively. Today is a diɈerent story. You know what you want, and you won’t settle for anything less. Stay on top of your needs. Tonight: Find yourself in the thick of the moment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your best bet is to slow down and let others take the lead for now. You might have strong feelings. Take your time before sharing your thoughts, and you will make the correct choice. Trust yourself. Confusion surrounds a partnership. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

James is Coosa’s ‘QB of the future’ By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
Anytime a label is put on a young player, especially a freshman, like “quarterback of the future,” that puts a lot of pressure on someone’s shoulders. But Central Coosa’s Jashaslin James doesn’t exactly look like a freshman, standing at 5-foot11 and 200 pounds. Also, Cougar coach Brett Thomas knows James is the “quarterback of the future,” not the “quarterback of right now.” “When I called his mother this summer to see if he was going to play football because
he was playing in an all-star baseball league, I told her then that I wanted him to play for us and I wanted to groom him into a quarterback,” Thomas said. “That was the initial goal coming into this season, and going forward, that still would be my goal.” Thomas also recognizes Donta Daniel has more experience at the position, and he’s ready to allow James some time to get his feet wet at the varsity level before throwing him in at quarterback. But this week, James did get thrown into the fire as Daniel went down with an injury, and See JAMES • Page 12
Jashaslin James, Central Coosa Grade and position: Freshman running back/quarterback Measurements: 5-foot-11, 200 pounds Parents: Katrina and Malik James Favorite team: Alabama Athlete most admired: Derrick Henry Other interests: James also plays baseball for the Cougars and enjoys working out and hanging out with friends. Statistics: James racked up nearly 100 yards of rushing and scored a pair of touchdowns in Coosa’s game against Reeltown. He also took over at quarterback after an injury to starter Donta Daniel.
JOE MCADORY Columnist
If anyone can beat Alabama, who will it be? I
asked this about a year ago, so it bears asking again … can anyone beat Alabama? If so, who and how? Gus Malzahn and Auburn answered the question last fall, but considering the problems on the Plains, a repeat of 2017 is highly unlikely. So who will it be? Well, Alabama plays at Tennessee this Saturday. Surely, the suddenly-powerful Vols (I’m joking) are just chomping at the bit rip into the No. 1 team in the nation. Yeah, that is a bit preposterous. Ain’t gonna happen, folks. Who else is left on the Tide’s mighty schedule? Hmm … that LSU game in Baton Rouge on Nov. 3 could get interesting. At least, that’s what the ESPN and CBS hype machine will tell us. If quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is back up to speed and rolling, it’s easy for me to think the Tide will put up 30 to 40 on the Bayou Bengals because, well, they’ve done that and more to everyone else. But LSU is stocked with athletes, as it always is, and ’Bama hasn’t really been punched in the mouth yet. If Alabama is going to lose in the regular season, then it will happen in Baton Rouge. On the other hand, Death Valley has often been BryantDenny West. Nick Fitzgerald and Mississippi State might have something for the Tide on Nov. 10, right? Well, I believed Mississippi State would be much better than it really is. The Bulldogs have a strong defensive line, and that quarterback sure is nifty, but State’s best shot at topping the Tide came last year in Starkville. We’ve been over Auburn. A month ago, I thought the Tigers might at least have a shot. Today, a coworker and I discussed how Liberty might be a test for Auburn. There’s Georgia — Alabama’s new power nemesis, for now and possibly for the future. A rematch at the Falcons’ fancy stadium appears to be in order unless Georgia screws up against Florida or Kentucky, neither of which matches up well with Alabama. Georgia’s got the hosses, for sure, but this Bulldog team doesn’t have the fire nor experience last year’s possessed. They will next year. Could be a good game, but, you know … What about across the nation? Someone’s gotta play Alabama in the playoffs. Notre Dame is undefeated and will get whatever votes it needs to make the playoffs. The Irish had better stay undefeated if they want to make the Show. For that it’s worth: Notre Dame is a fluke that nearly lost to Vanderbilt. Clemson? We saw the Tigers play Alabama in the Sugar Bowl last year. Decent defensive game, though Alabama dominated. Alabama would win this rematch, too. Ohio State? Lots of talent up there, and Ohio State did stun the Tide in See MCADORY • Page 12

Benjamin Russell’s playoff spot is on the line Friday night when it travels to Calera for its final region game of the season.
REGION BREAKDOWN
Still a lot undecided with 3 weeks left in regular season By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
Only two area football teams’ fates have already been decided, and they are on two opposite ends of the spectrum. With Reeltown’s 31-12 victory over Central Coosa last week, both teams figured out their playoff destinies. The Rebels clinched the Class 2A Region 4 title, even with a game left to play, while the Cougars (0-7, 0-4) were mathematically eliminated from contention. Even if the Rebels (7-1, 5-0) were to lose this week to Vincent, they would have a tie for first place with Thorsby and own the head-to-head matchup for the tiebreaker.
Also in 2A Region 4, Horseshoe Bend (1-6, 1-3) is surprisingly still in the hunt, but it’s going to need a lot of help. In order for the Generals to advance to the postseason, they would need to win both their remaining region games — Fayetteville this week and LaFayette next — and they also need Central Coosa to pull off the upset of the year. If LaFayette defeats the Cougars this week, that’ll secure both the Bulldogs and the Generals’ fates. In Class 2A, Region 4 will match up with Region 2 in the first round of the playoffs. Reeltown will host the No. 4 seed out of Region 2, which is still undecided. There is a four-way tie for fourth in that region with Cottonwood,
Daleville, G.W. Long and Houston County, so it’s anyone’s guess at this point. If Horseshoe Bend manages to sneak it, it’ll likely travel to either Abbeville or Geneva County. Everything about Benjamin Russell’s fate hinges on this week, and there aren’t a whole lot of scenarios — there’s only one in fact. If Benjamin Russell beats Calera on Friday night, it’ll be the No. 4 seed out of Class 6A Region 3. If it loses, Calera will take the final playoff spot. The top part of BRHS’ region is still up in the air, as the region winner hinges on Stanhope Elmore’s game See REGION • Page 12
Tigers fall in rescheduled match at Holtville By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Last week, Dadeville was forced to reschedule its road trip to Holtville due to the rain. The two teams found an open date but the Tigers dropped the match in straight sets, losing for the third consecutive night. Holtville was celebrating Senior Night on its final home game of the season so Dadeville made sure to find the time in a busy week to make the drive down. The Tigers have four matches in four days this week but they refused to show fatigue in the loss to Holtville. Dadeville got off to a slow start in the opening set, falling behind 14-4 before coach Jenni Roy was forced to call a timeout. The Tigers made some improvements but still dropped the first set 25-10. “It’s good to get in the extra games,” Roy said. “Playing four games in four days is going to make you better. I thought we started getting up to their level as the See VOLLEYBALL • Page 12

James

James did just fine at the position. He racked up nearly 100 rushing yards and scored a pair of touchdowns, and he is the Outlook Player of the Week. “Well, when another person goes down, you gotta step up your game and do your best,” James said. “It’s a lot of pressure to uphold (as a freshman) and really try to lead the team. But you gotta just learn how to work with it and deal with it. I just do my best.” Although Central Coosa hasn’t tasted much success this year, James has been a catalyst for the Cougar offense, scoring all but one of its touchdowns this season. He also has busted out several long runs and also served as a lead blocker when need be. “Jashaslin had a real good game this week (against Reeltown),” Thomas said. “Jashaslin has run the ball well the entire season. He’s like a locomotive — he just needs to get up a little steam before he gets going. But he had a particularly good game. He accounted for both our touchdowns.” James has been playing football since he was 10 years old, and although he said his mom, Katrina, was scared for him to play the sport at first,
Volleyball match went on.” The Tigers quickly saw the progression in the second set. Dadeville took the first three points of the set and held a 6-4 lead after back to back aces by Sidaesha Heard. After five consecutive points by Holtville, Roy took another timeout to get the Tigers back in the game. Isis Johnson responded with a huge block after a long rally between the two teams. However, the Bulldogs continued to take over, scoring 12 of the next 16 points. Holtville finished off the set 25-15. “Dadeville always has athletes,” Holtville coach Alison Franklin said. “They’re quick and they can jump with anyone. So you just have to try to do what you can on your own side.” The match was finished off in the third set but not without a fight from the Tigers. Dadeville was once again up early in the set but Holtville couldn’t string together a run to pull away. The Bulldogs built a 16-14 lead but it was quickly erased by some good serving by Dadeville.

Central Coosa’s Jashaslin James (3) is the Outlook Player of the Week after a strong performance last week against the Reeltown Rebels.
James can’t get enough of it. And despite the Cougars struggles this season, James wants to stick with the team and thinks once he and the other
players get more experience, the future is bright for Central Coosa. “We’ve grown a lot as far as being mentally focused and effort-wise,” James said. “We
don’t really give up on basic little plays, and we’re not getting down on ourselves too much. We’ve gotten faster and we’re practicing harder.”

2014. But the smart money should be with Alabama. So who’s the best to beat Alabama? Same team as always … it’s Alabama. The Picks Auburn at Ole Miss: Auburn has so much more talent than the Rebels, it’s silly. Yet, Ole Miss’ offensive scheme has the capability of putting up big numbers on the Tigers’ pass defense. That’s silly, too. I can’t believe I’m going to pick Ole Miss, but I have no faith in the Tigers’ ability to win a football game right now. Ole Miss 34, Auburn 27. Alabama at Tennessee: Following last week’s win at Auburn, I foresee at Tennessee letdown. Alabama has way too much talent to lose to this team, even if Brian Burgdorf played quarterback. Alabama 44, Tennessee 17. Joe McAdory is Communications Editor at Auburn University’s Harbert College of Business.

the service line, the Tigers rolled off five straight points to take the lead, including three aces. However, an emphatic kill by Holtville’s Kaylyn Dismukes ended the run and swung the momentum back in the home team’s favor. Dadeville continued to battle and had the set tied at 20. The Bulldogs strung together five consecutive points, including four aces, to finish off the set, 25-20, and win the match. “That just speaks to the spirit of our team,” Roy said. “We talked all the time about not giving up so I’m very proud to see them doing that, especially in the third set when they’re so tired.” Heard finished with six aces for the Tigers to go with a kill. Deshiah Russell and D’Aja Caldwell each had two kills for Dadeville. The Tigers will finish up the regular season with home match tonight against Sylacauga. The team will then travel to Beulah for the area tournament next week where it will face B.B. Comer in the first round.

Reeltown is one of the only area teams whose playoff fate has already been determined.
Region with Opelika. If Stanhope wins, it’ll be undefeated in region play and win the title outright; if Opelika wins, it all comes down to a long list of tiebreakers, which Wetumpka would ultimately win, putting the Bulldogs in second and the Mustangs in third. If Benjamin Russell locks up the fourth spot, it’ll travel to either Saraland or Spanish Fort for the first round of the playoffs. The two teams are currently both undefeated in their region play and don’t meet each other until the final week of the season.
continued from page 11
Spanish Fort (6-1) was ranked No. 2 in the most recent Alabama Sports Writers Association Poll, while Saraland (8-0) followed right behind at No. 3. In its first year back in Class 3A, Dadeville has struggled this season in Region 3. But despite having just a 2-6 (1-4) record, the Tigers can still earn a playoff spot, but like the Generals, they’re going to need some help. If Dadeville won its last two games and Beulah loses its final two, the Tigers would sneak in at the No. 4 spot by holding the tiebreak over the Bobcats.
