Replatting an issue for property sales By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Over the years fences have been built, storage buildings erected and new driveways constructed. Adjoining property owners may have come to an agreement as to where property lines were, but without

surveys, the projects may have been too close to property lines or in some cases built across property lines. The issue has started to come up at real estate closings and has officials with Tallapoosa County getting involved. The issue now has the Tallapoosa County Commission getting involved as subdivisions are being replatted.

“It is primarily for mortgage purposes,” Tallapoosa County engineer David Moore said. “Closing attorneys are now requiring it.” At a recent Tallapoosa County Commission meeting where the commission approved a replatting, Moore explained the construction near property lines has gone on for decades

and to be expecting more. Attorneys have handled the issue differently in the past. “It has been handled by easements in the past,” Moore said. When approved by the commission, the replatting also involves the new property lines being recorded in the See REPLATTING • Page 12

Part I: 10 haunted places to visit Editor’s Note: This is the second in a series where Outlook staff members will write a Halloween-related editorial piece leading up to Oct. 31. By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

E

veryone loves a good ghost story, especially when they’re of a real haunting. I like traveling and seeing famous locations, and with so many places in the United States and around the world claiming to be haunted, I wanted to list off 10 of the most haunted places I’ve ever visited in my travels. 10. Read House, Chattanooga, Tennessee: The current hotel structure was built in the late 19th century, but sits on the site of a home dating back to the antebellum period. It was the location of a hospital during the Civil War, and the spirits of former soldiers have been seen there. A female phantom has also been spotted, believed to be the ghost of a woman allegedly murdered in the hotel during the 1920s. See HAUNTED • Page 12

Sen. Tom Whatley speaks at a recent meeting. The Republican and incumbent in Senate District 27 faces opposition from Democrat Nancy Carlton Bendinger.

We Care About You

Since taking his seat in the Alabama State Senate following the 2010 election, Alabama Sen. Tom Whatley feels a great deal of progress has been made with regards to education and the education budget, along with a number of other factors the state government has on its plate. “The education budget is what drives our area,” Whatley said. “Since 2010, we have not had a prorated education budget. We have also given three raises to teachers over the past eight years.” As a way to help with funding education, Whatley commended outgoing Rep. Mark Tuggle for standing up and supporting a bill to tax

This tax loss may not have a huge impact in certain parts of the state, but in areas like Coosa County, the loss of approximately 12,000 acres the initiative recently purchased there and its tax revenue is a more serious blow. Tuggle’s bill failed in the House, but Whatley still felt this was the correct stand to make. “Not everything are ‘D’ and ‘R’ issues,” Whatley said. “If you stand up and recognize the issues, you realize some of them are common sense issues.” See WHATLEY • Page 10

DEAR ABBY: My wife, “Grace,” and I have been happily married for 48 years. We’re retired and enjoy an active sex life. Grace has a female friend, “Ricky,” we have known more than 45 years. She’s a close friend, and they often get together for lunch. Ricky has been an out lesbian for many years and, in the past, had female companions. The problem is she repeatedly asks Grace to do things on Saturday evenings. She has also invited her to spend the night and tells her how much she loves her. My wife loves Ricky, too, but strictly as a friend and has not encouraged her in any way. I’m not ordinarily the jealous type, but I’m convinced Ricky is in love with my wife. I have been tempted to tell her to quit making advances, but I don’t want to cause the end of the friendship. I have told Grace how I feel, and she agrees. In fact, she has told me about

DEAR ABBY Advice

some of the requests Ricky has made and she has rejected. I believe Ricky has crossed the line. What do you think? -CROSSED THE LINE DEAR CROSSED THE LINE: Your wife is not responsible for the fact that her longtime friend may be in love with her. I agree that asking your wife to spend the night is inappropriate, but Ricky may want more of Grace’s time because she’s simply single and lonely. The person to set boundaries would be your wife, who needs to tell her friend that her Saturday nights belong to you, and as much as she loves Ricky, she’s unavailable as a romantic partner.

SOCIAL SECURITY FAYE EDMONDSON

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been together nearly four years. When we got together, he was in the process of gaining custody of his daughter because his ex abused drugs. We have raised “Arlette” ever since, and her mother is out of the picture. Arlette calls me Mom, and we have a strong bond. Her father and I have a very strained marriage. We separated several times because he was abusive. I have been giving serious thought to leaving him, but because I have no legal rights to Arlette, I stay. I lost custody of my own daughter because of his abuse, and although my older children don’t care for him, they, too, have a very strong bond with his daughter. I’m unhappy and I do not feel this marriage can be saved. I am at a loss, though, thinking about leaving his daughter. She’s only 4. How do I move on with my life knowing I won’t

“Quality is everyone’s responsibility.” — W. Edwards Deming

T

he Lake Martin Area United Way is currently in the middle of its 2019 fundraising campaign, “Be a Lifesaver of Hope,” raising money for the 28 agencies affiliated with the United Way. Local companies and businesses are encouraging employees to contribute, while other groups are holding special fundraisers to contribute to the United Way’s efforts. Among the individuals offering up support for this campaign is StillWaters golf pro Gabby Witherington, who completed his annual 100-hole golf marathon Monday, raising a little more than $5,000 for the United Way. While this money may not seem as much compared to the amounts some of the large manufacturers can contribute, it does show how one person can have an impact on others. Witherington saw a need and found a way he could help with that need. This is an example we all can follow. It doesn’t even have to be with the United Way’s fundraising campaign. Finding a way you can help someone around you is simple and doesn’t always require a lot of effort. For example, buy a few extra groceries and take them to your neighbor who may be struggling with having enough to eat. Take those old bath or beach towels you may be ready to throw away and donate them to the animal shelter. Those clothes you’ve outgrown and couldn’t sell at your yard sale? Give them to the Salvation Army store, where they can be sold to help with the many programs that organization oversees. Just like the story of the boy throwing the starfish back into the ocean after they wash up on the beach, your efforts, no matter how small, are making a difference to someone. So, no matter how small you feel you contribution may be, you are having an impact in someone’s life. Do what you can to help others, and it will come back to you in return.

The legend and the Free State of Winston

T

hose of us who are baby boomers remember the tumultuous times of the 1960s. We lived through the Civil Rights revolution. Those of us who grew up here in the Heart of Dixie witnessed the transpiring of racial integration first hand. Most of the crusades and struggles occurred here in Alabama, especially Montgomery. A good many of the landmark Civil Rights court decisions were handed down in the federal court in Montgomery. The author and renderer of these epic rulings was one, Frank M. Johnson, Jr. He served as federal judge in the Middle District of Alabama for 24 years from 1955 through 1979. Johnson’s judicial decisions brought death threats to him and his family from whites opposed to integration. He was vilified by most white Alabamians at that time and became George Wallace’s favorite whipping boy. Wallace referred to him as a “lying, scalawagging, carpetbagging integrationist.” Frank Johnson, Jr. was born in Winston County in October 1918. Winston County attempted to stay neutral during the Civil War. It was a Republican stronghold in an overwhelmingly Democratic Alabama. In contrast to the Black Belt planters in South Alabama, the people who settled North Alabama were small farmers. The land they settled on was hilly and not as conducive to growing cotton. Rather than large plantations and slaves, the fiercely independent hill country farmers had 40 acres and a mule. Therefore, when the winds of division between North and South began to blow in the 1850s, an obvious political difference between North and South Alabamians arose. In 1860 there were only 14 slave

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist owners in Winston County. With the election of Abraham Lincoln, the crucial decision of secession arose. Contrary to what most present-day Alabamians think, it was not an easy unified decision that we should leave the Union. A secession convention was held in January 1861, in Montgomery. The vote was extremely close. The delegates split 54-46 for secession. The Black Belters from South Alabama were for creating a confederacy of southern states to protect their slave ownership and way of life. The hill farmers from North Alabama preferred to not secede. These North Alabamians voted against secession from the Union at that time. Shortly after the secession convention, citizens of Winston County met at a local establishment, Looney’s Tavern. These yeoman farmers of the hills were obviously reluctant to leave the Union for the cause of the planter and his slaves. Legend has it that on July 4, 1861, the good people of Winston County decided to secede from Alabama and remain in the Union. That is why they are known in Alabama political history and folklore as “The Free State of Winston.” That same sort of independent streak was a hallmark of the Johnson family who were some of the earliest settlers of Winston County. Judge Johnson’s father served as one of the few Republicans in the Alabama Legislature in the first half of the 20th century. Frank Johnson Jr. studied law at the University of Alabama and graduated at the top of his law school class in 1943. He then

distinguished himself as a U.S. Army officer in World War II. He was wounded at Normandy and received the Purple Heart. After the war, he settled in Winston County and began practicing law in Jasper. Although the Democratic Party dominated southern politics, Johnson was a lifelong, Winston County Republican. Therefore, he led the 1952 Dwight Eisenhower campaign for President in the state. After Eisenhower became president, he rewarded Johnson with a federal judgeship. In 1955-1956, shortly after taking his seat on the bench, Johnson became involved in a formative event of the Civil Rights movement. Rosa Parks was arrested for violating a Montgomery ordinance requiring racial segregation on the city buses. In response, the African American community organized a boycott of the bus system and nominated Reverend Martin Luther King as its leader. Johnson ruled that the Montgomery ordinance violated the due process clause of the 14th Amendment. The ruling was the first of many by Johnson which eliminated racial segregation in public accommodations such as parks, libraries, bus stations and airports during the 1950s and 1960s. Johnson’s decisions were legendary and groundbreaking. He became the central defender of Civil Rights in America from his federal bench in Montgomery. The Federal Courthouse in Montgomery is now named in his honor. Judge Johnson died in 1999. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist. His weekly column appears in over 60 Alabama newspapers. He served 16-years in the state legislature. Steve may be reached at www.steveflowers. us.

The Outlook

The cooler temperatures and autumn weather are welcomed

T

his past week we got a reminder that the ‘real’ autumn weather is fast approaching. It was great to have the house open to fresh air. The dogs loved being able to go in and out as they pleased. The sun was lovely, but the cooler brisk wind made it feel much cooler. This week will be the time I should spray my porch plants for insects and see about making a place for them in the house. Last season, the winter winds did a number on my greenhouse removing several pieces and letting in the cold winter air. I lost several tender plants. Since Ron is still recovering from his shoulder replacement in August, he is not able to

I

just finished doing a little yard work. Nothing big. I dragged some brush that Lucy cut over to the burn pile. I then filled some holes in the yard with some dormant ant beds that I poisoned a few days ago. I need to rake, but I sure do love the freshly, fallen leaves. I love being outside in the fall. Earlier this morning, one of my dad’s childhood friends – our friend now – dropped off a bucket of okra from his garden that sits on the banks of the Tallapoosa River. He brought us a mess of catfish, too – already cleaned. After that, we took some pictures of Abigail amongst all things autumn, minus a pumpkin. We needed a pumpkin. We have one now. The backdrop of my pawpaw’s barn was special. We laid a quilt on the ground for her to

ROSIE MORGAN Columnist get the repairs done on the greenhouse that require two arms working together on a step-ladder. In preparation for the cold that I totally dislike after a wonderful southern summer, I will put an extra quilt on the bed and get out the bed socks. As kids in our house, we always wore bed socks in the cold months. My mum would make each of us a hot water bottle. Placing the bottle just inside the covers to warm up

that space and we pushed it down to keep our feet warm as we got into bed at night. In England, the weather has warmed up a lot during summer months, but when I was a girl, we were lucky for it to reach 72 degrees. Then we were getting a tan in the back garden on weekends and mum would serve the afternoon tea out there as well. Oct. 26 has been declared ‘Chicken Fried Steak Day’ in Texas. That sounds like a great idea for dinner. Sometimes we have not cooked a certain meal for so long that we forget just how good it was until we remember and do it again. We had Spam a lot. Sliced and

battered, then deep fried with chips and baked beans. Spam was a cheap meal, but now it’s an expensive and not near as appealing to me. My Ron celebrates his birthday Oct. 26, along with former red hatter in my chapter, Sandra Thompson of Hillabee Park. Then Roger Pasley of Alex City celebrates on the 27th. I hear that an early nor’easter is expected up north over the weekend, then early frosts. I am so thankful I live in the south. The cold makes everything hurt as we get older. The ghouls and goblins in cute attire will be out next week, so be afraid, be very afraid. Halloween parties are

neat. Dressing up reminds me of when I was quite young,and the girls would love playing dress up in ladies’ attire with beads and hats. That was many years before Halloween was celebrated in England. Then, only in Scotland, as ‘All Hallows Eve,’ a pagan ceremony with sacrifice. Sir Winston Churchill said, “We shape our dwellings and then our dwellings shape us.” Until next week, keep smiling. Rosie Morgan is a community columnist for The Outlook. She is a resident of Nixburg and writes about the events and people of the Equality and Nixburg areas.

Falling into autumn JODY FULLER Columnist sit and crawl on. Making it even more special was that it was a quilt my grandmother made for me when I was just a young’on. Now, Lucy is inside with the baby, trying to get her down for a nap. I was up with her at 5 a.m. She was up with her at 2 a.m. She gets up way more than I do. Abby likes to nurse. Now, I’m sitting under the oak tree, listening to the wind, the leaves, the birds. It’s a good day. The wind is blowing through the trees and the leaves are slowly blanketing the ground. The sounds from the wind chimes are enough to put me to sleep right here on this bench. The

dogs must have been listening too. They are all asleep in the yard. Off in the distance, I hear the occasional cow’s moo. There are no doubt, some donkeys, too. The crows are cackling in all directions. There’s a red tail hawk in a tree across the road. There’s a pileated woodpecker somewhere pretty close. He’s busy. I think I just heard a turkey. I hear footsteps cracking through the leaves on the floor of the woods. What is it? A squirrel? A deer? A coyote? From our porch that wraps half way around the house, Lucy saw one cross the road in the middle of the day just a few weeks ago. It’s probably that turkey. If it was 40 years ago, it would have been me. It would have been my brother. We played in the woods. We climbed trees. We built forts. We played with guns made

Many a

small thing

out of sticks. While I appreciate the moment, I will always cherish the days gone by. We didn’t always do right but always knew right from wrong. One time, while up the road at our other grandparent’s house, we started a fire in the woods. We were playing with matches when grandmamma called us in for lunch. We blew out the fire and covered up our wrongdoings with pine straw. That was not one of our finer moments. When it was all over, our rear ends were on fire and rightly so. The baby just started crying. We hear that a lot these days – and nights. She’s teething. One day, I will cherish these memories too. As Trace Adkins’ song says, “You’re gonna miss this.” And I know I will. We sure love our little miraculous munchkin. She’s a special child.

Aren’t they all? My late father was born in this house, on this farm. So were my aunts and uncles. It’s a privilege for us to be able to raise our daughter here, just down the road from my mama and stepdad and just miles from Lucy’s mama, too. I can close my eyes and see and hear all the love and laughter that filled this home so long ago and continues to do so today. I open my eyes. I open my ears. I hear the sounds of nature. There is nothing like fall in country. Sometimes, I can even hear the river. Jody Fuller is from Opelika, Ala. He is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq.

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) The Full Moon invites extravagance. The decision to let go might have more to do with frustration than pleasure. Consider the possibilities, as they head in your direction. A noteworthy idea or happening could come out of confusion. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have been displaying a quirkier facet of your personality as of late. You might not know why, and you seem unable to go further into the topic at hand. Goodwill emerges. As a result, you feel optimistic and positive that everything will be Äne. Tonight: Be spontaneous. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your instincts might drive you to react strongly, when there really is no reason for that kind of response. Take in all the facts, and consider the pros and cons of proceeding as you have been. In fact, the less said, the better. Stay on top of your game. Tonight: Hang out with a friend. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You feel pressured by a friend to make a choice that you normally wouldn’t. You could get moody and might want to distance yourself. Remain optimistic that things will go well. A visit and a chat with a loved one help make you feel cared about. Tonight: Get into the moment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Pressure to smile and say that everything is all right might be high. You probably need to speak your mind and allow others to get a better sense of what is going on in your mind. Someone greets you with a big smile; listen to his or her news. Tonight: Dinner for two. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out to someone you care about. You could have diɉculty getting past all the activity around you, or around this person. Do not give up, and you’ll Änd a way to break through. Caring Åows naturally between you. A child becomes more responsive. Tonight: Time for fun.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A partner or loved one might give in to a desire to be extremely overindulgent. You might go along for the ride until you are faced with reality. No matter what is going on, stay centered, even if you do not have the self-discipline you might desire. Tonight: Explore a new place. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might be unusually energized. Try to funnel some of this energy into a creative project rather than allow it to dissolve. Your sense of direction could play an important role in what goes down. A loved one enjoys hanging out with you. Tonight: Just act natural. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Even if today’s Full Moon has the eɈect of making you want to be around friends and visit with several diɈerent people, pace yourself. Your nerves could become jangled with everything that is occurring. You might want to open up to new ideas. Tonight: Kick up your heels. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be in the position of needing to be in two places at once. Despite being unable to meet the immediate demand, you somehow manage to make everyone happy. Express your caring and concern to a friend who will appreciate your thoughtfulness. Tonight: Let it happen. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your instincts might point to staying close to home. You are likely to do just that. Whether you just need some time oɈ or are needed elsewhere when something occurs, a change of pace is appropriate. You are able to read between the lines. Tonight: Lie low if possible. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The Full Moon encourages you to daydream. You also might decide to fulĂ„ll a long-term wish. You see beyond the obvious when dealing with others. You even might notice a missed detail or two. Stay centered. A trip might be in the oɉng. Tonight: Read between the lines.

continued from page 1

In other economic categories, Whatley said unemployment numbers have been promising, with the drop of 1 percentage point in the unemployment rate having added nearly $300 million to the state economy. The expansion of Medicaid is a contentious topic, but Whatley said he feels there could be a potential solution to the issue in the near future. With the surplus seen in the general fund this fiscal year, he believed some of the money could be allocated towards Medicaid, while more support may arrive from Washington in early 2019. “There’s a rumor that when Congress reconvenes in January, they could be working on allocating block grants for Medicaid to the states,” Whatley said. “These block grants would give the states more control over the money, and you could see more support in that regard if they do come through.” Whatley said the expansion through block grants could be more advantageous than other options, while also saying he feels he could get behind expansion if it was done through block grants. Some key achievements Whatley feels he has helped accomplish include a bill requiring insurance providers to cover medical help those with autism and the Sadie Grace Andrews Bill, passed after the 3-yearold drowned in a grease trap at a Bruster’s Ice Cream in Auburn. These bills, especially the Sadie Grace Andrews Bill, Whatley felt were accomplished thanks to everyone working together to solve a problem. “We need more positive action today,” he said. Lastly, while Whatley said he was not at the meeting to ask members to vote for him, he did want to remind the Kiwanians to exercise their right and get out to the polls on Nov. 6.

Did Malzahn save his job at Auburn?

Sports Outlook

100 HOLES OF GOLF Witherington completes annual golf marathon By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

G

us Malzahn was downright jubilant in the locker room at Vaught Hemingway Stadium after Auburn’s 31-16 victory over Ole Miss on Saturday. Some might question whether a win over a bad Mississippi team and a 2-3 conference record is befitting of such an outburst, but they didn’t walk in Malzahn’s uncomfortable shoes last week. He was pointedly asked if he felt like he was coaching for his job against the Rebels just a few days earlier. Of course he said no, but his demeanor with his players after the game perhaps told a different story. There were legitimate discussions being had by fans, alumni and powerbrokers on the Plains regarding the future of Gus Malzahn — a man in the first year of a seven-year contract worth $49 million. Those discussions are undoubtedly ongoing. Did beating Ole Miss save Malzahn’s job? I don’t know, but it did prove the Auburn players still have a drive and desire to win. Gus has not lost the team. For what it’s worth, I think that’s important. The Tigers now have a much-needed off week to get healthy, restore some confidence and try to figure out the best possible way to beat Texas A&M. While we’re on the subject of Gus Malzahn’s shaky job status, I just want to address one aspect of this discussion. I said last week Auburn’s football season had hit rock bottom with the home loss to Tennessee. I stand by that statement because I continue to believe the Volunteers are terrible and the loss is an embarrassment. However, Auburn’s program is nowhere near rock bottom. I’m not advocating one way or the other in regards to whether Malzahn should or should not be fired. I’ve already stated my personal feelings I believe Gus “needs” to be the coach next year, but that’s just my own opinion for my own reasons. This is simply a public service announcement for everyone who has uttered the phrase in the last three weeks, “Why not make a change? Things couldn’t get any worse!” If you actually believe that, I’ve got news for you. It could get worse — a lot worse. First of all, no one enters a coaching search looking for the biggest loser. Everyone hires a coach they believe will win football games. Think about some of the epic failures in times past amongst our brethren. Alabama had Mike DuBose (2423), Mike Price (0-0) and Mike Shula (10-23). Tennessee languished with Derek Dooley (15-21) and Butch Jones (30-21). A lot of coaches would pay the university to coach at Florida. Surely, the Gators are immune. Anyone remember Ron Zook (23-14), Will Muschamp (2821) and Jim McElwain (22-12)? LSU is winning with Ed Orgeron. They can win with anybody! Mike Archer (27-18-1), Curley Hallman (16-28) and Gerry DiNardo (3224-1) would beg to differ. Danny Ford came to Arkansas wearing a national championship ring. He left with a 26-30-1 record. Bret Bielema did an outstanding job at Wisconsin but wound up 29-33 in Fayetteville. Brad Scott was a hotshot OC at Florida State. He took over a mediocre program in South Carolina and buried it. Again, I’m not arguing for or against a new coach at Auburn. I’m merely suggesting it’s entirely possible the next guy could be worse. Andy Graham is a regular columnist for The Outlook.

StillWaters golf pro Gabby Witherington tees off on the 10th hole late Monday morning during his 100-hole golf marathon in support of the Lake Martin Area United Way.

Shortly after the sun rose Monday morning, StillWaters golf pro Gabby Witherington stepped out onto the StillWaters course and teed off for his annual 100-hole golf marathon to raise money for the Lake Martin Area United Way. “It’s been a good, beautiful morning. We’ve been blessed with a day of good weather for this,” Witherington said during his lunch break just after 11 a.m. “It was 42 degrees when I first teed off this morning at 6:25. I was able to get 54 holes in before breaking for lunch.” Witherington’s goal for this year’s marathon was $5,000, a figure he said he has exceeded, having had around $5,200 pledged to him by the time he started the marathon. Though he was just over halfway done before he broke for lunch, Witherington said his pace would slow down some in the afternoon as other golfers began to take to the course, while also allowing those interested in

watching him chase the goal of 100 holes could follow him more easily. As Witherington returned to the course after lunch, he was accompanied by Lake Martin Area United Way Executive Director Sharon Fuller, communications director Courtney Layfield and Dadeville Mayor Wayne Smith. While Witherington reached and surpassed his goal for this year’s fundraiser marathon, he said much of his support came from StillWaters residents, the Dadeville Kiwanis Club and others from the Dadeville area. Witherington said he wanted to invite Alexander City residents to join in supporting the marathon to bring even more funds to help the United Way. Smith said he would consider issuing a challenge to the mayor and council in Alexander City to help garner this support. “If people still want to pledge support for this, I will still be accepting them,” Witherington said. “The marathon is always in October and we are always promoting it.”

BRHS treating bye week like spring practice By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

After securing a playoff spot last week with a victory over Calera, Benjamin Russell’s football team has been taking a much-needed breather with a bye week this week. The Wildcats won’t play again until next Friday when they travel to Valley for the final game of the regular season. But this week, they’ve had a selfish mentality. The Wildcats are focusing on themselves, going back to the basics and getting better fundamentally. “We beat it in their heads that, ‘All right, we’re going to spring practice,’” BRHS coach Kevin Smith said. “We’re not even talking about Valley. We went into this week saying we were going to treat it like spring — go back and really hit fundamentals and brush up some things. We added a play here and there. Then we’ll start again Sunday getting ready for Valley.” Benjamin Russell hit the ground running Monday and Tuesday with live hitting during practice, but today and Thursday will be spent mostly in shells, working on throwing and special teams. The Wildcats will then have Friday off, as Smith and some of the coaching staff hit the road for Spanish Fort and Saraland, one of which BRHS will play in the first round. Although Smith doesn’t want to get too far ahead

Benjamin Russell and coach Kevin Smith are coming off a big win and are now taking the bye week to refocus.

of himself, he also wants to prepare as much as possible for what’s down the road. But the players aren’t thinking too far down the line. “You gotta start kind of preparing.” Smith said. “But this bye week came at a great time. Being that you’re not coming back and playing a region game — you want to win; don’t get me wrong, but it’s not like you’re off and you’re stressed. It really has been a break.” But because the Wildcats have secured their playoff spot, there has been a noticeable rise

in the energy level, according to Smith. And unlike some teams, the Wildcats still have something to play for and are looking to go into the postseason on a high note. “Hopefully we’re not just happy making the playoffs,” Smith said. “You want to have success in the playoffs. You can’t realistically say every year that you’re going to be one of the last two, but you hope. “You wanna give yourself a chance and the way the playoffs work, if you’re a No. 3 or No. 4 (seed) and you can

Lance Cunigan takes 11th at Tiger Classic STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

Benjamin Russell’s cross country team had four runners place in the top 50 at this weekend’s Tiger Classic in Auburn. Lance Cunigan led the way by capturing 11th overall with a time of 17:06.10. The race included more than 175 runners from schools all over the state. Layton Bradford also had a fine finish for the Wildcats, taking 30th in 18:18.98. Reginald Sweetwyne wasn’t too far behind with a time of 18:39.26, good enough for 37th place. On the girls side, Ashley Walker sneaked into the top 50, taking 50th place with a time of 24:59.66. Horseshoe Bend also competed in the weekend’s invitational, and all five of its female runners earned top-100 finishes. Brityn Spence paced the Generals by taking 78th with a time of 30:16.23, and Rebecca

Rasbury followed less than a second later (30:16.97) to earn 79th place. Jarrett Bice was the top male finisher for the Generals, clocking in at 22:51.62 for 100th place.

The tournament will include nine holes before sunset and nine holes of glow-inthe-dark golf. It is a four-person scramble format and costs $300 per team.

go in, upset somebody and win one on the road, you’ve got a chance of going deep. I don’t want to get them stressed about it, though, because we are still two and a half weeks out.” And Benjamin Russell, like all other football teams, is in need of a break to get some much-needed rest and time to heal. “We’re beat up, and we had some guys that just needed a week,” Smith said. “It’s nothing major — an ankle here or a sore hamstring there or a groin here — just things that need to calm down.”

Chickamauga Battlefield, Georgia: The ghost of a woman whose husband was killed during the battle has been spotted, still searching for his body, while another specter, Green Eyes, is believed to be either a soldier who was decapitated during the fighting or a half-human, half-animal creature first described by Native Americans. 3. Sloss Furnaces, Birmingham: Sloss has been the site of a number of strange stories. Among the most persistent is that of “Slag,” a hard-driving foreman at the furnace who died in 1906 after falling into a container of molten iron ore. Night workers over the years are reported to have seen the ghost of a badly burned man ordering them to get back to work and move steel. 2. The Tower of London, London, England: Built by William the Conqueror in 1078, the Tower was used as a prison for centuries. Spirits reported there include Anne Boleyn (second wife of King Henry VIII), King Henry VI and many more. 1. Gettysburg, Pennsylvania: The bloodiest battle of the Civil War, the Battle of Gettysburg saw approximately 50,000 casualties over three days of intense fighting. Ghosts from the battle have been reported all over town, including Pennsylvania Hall at Gettysburg College, multiple homes that were used as hospitals, and of course, the battlefield itself. Honorable Mentions: Warwick Castle, Warwick, England; Alabama State Capitol Building, Montgomery

Replatting

revenue commissioner’s office too – as lots change, so do property taxes. The replatting is brought to the commission from a few different ways. “It depends on the subdivision,” Moore said. “HOAs (Home Owners Association) can bring it forward for replatting, and where there is no HOA, the closing attorneys are bringing it forward.” The encroachments are happening more on lake property development than in prior ago, but can also happen elsewhere in the county. Take for example, a family owned 80 acres and as it was passed down, it was split amongst heirs. Decades later, one of the heirs decides to sell their share of the property and finds the reported property lines for their lot do not match what is on record. This is where a subdivision may need to be replatted, but there are some restrictions. “It has to be more than four lots,” Moore said. The issue has been coming up on a regular basis. “It has become more frequent,” Moore said. “It is not just for the sale of property either. It could be a refinance as well. Someone with a smaller home may be refinancing for an addon or renovation.”
