Burglars strike at area churches By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor
Two area churches were victimized earlier this week as burglarsbroke in and took items ranging from cash to a ceremonial cross. Both Wayside Baptist Church and Duncan United Methodist Church in Alexander City were the targets of burglars sometime
after church officials left the building on Sunday and when they returned to start the new week. Wayside, located off Dadeville Road at 21 Wayside Circle in Alexander City, was hit sometime between 10 p.m. Sunday night and Monday morning. Alexander City Police Det. George Long said that cash and computers were the main items
taken by the thieves. “It appears that they made entry through the lower bottom level of the church,” Long said. “They had rummaged through the Sunday School rooms down there. Upstairs they went through the office of the pastor and the church secretary. They made off with an undisclosed amount of cash, but they were not able to gain entry to
the safe. There were also some laptops that were missing.” At Duncan, located at 3997 Hillabee Road in Alexander City, burglars struck sometime between Sunday evening and Tuesday morning. Alexander City Police Department Det. Riley Foshee said investigators found no sign of forced entry at the building. “It’s still unclear how they

The Outlook has confirmed with the Alabama Law Enforcement Association that the Dadeville driver license office that was closed because of ALEA budget cuts will remain closed. Originally, the newspaper reported, as told by ALEA, that only the driver license office in Alexander City would reopen in Tallapoosa County on a limited schedule. However, ALEA officials told the Outlook the office in Dadeville office would also reopen. Today, ALEA confirmed to the Outlook the Dadeville office will remain closed. “We will keep only one office open in each county (affected by the closures),” said ALEA’s Anna Morris. “In Tallapoosa County, that will be the Alexander City office.” According to a Office Schedules for Reopening Driver License Offices, dated Oct. 27, the Alexander City office will reopen Nov. 17 and will continue to open every third Tuesday and Wednesday of each month following. Below the list of offices that will reopen and their times and dates, the schedule reads, “Please note that offices formerly opened in Atmore (Escambia County) and Dadeville (Tallapoosa County) will remain closed.

World history students in Vicki Adair’s class are getting a hands-on experience on the thought process behind many U.S. documents like the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. “We are having Enlightenment Salons like those that happened in the Enlightenment,” Adair said. “”What is important about the discussions from these salons is these ideas are going to become the roots that lead to the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.” Adair explains that many of the salons were hosted by women. “Most of the salons were hosted by women,” Adair explained to the class. “Even though most women did not take part in the discussions, they were allowed to host because they could cook.” Students in Adair’s classes have taken a liking to the interactive idea. “We have learned of all the great achievements of people like Galileo, Newton, Catherine the Great and Napoleon,” student Russell Lunsford said. “We are all dressed as historical figures that attended the Enlightenment Salons. Today we get to learn what it might have been like.” Adair explained how and why the project would be documented. “We will be taking individual photographs of them,” Adair said. “This will go into their digital portfolio for what they did and learned in World History.

A researcher holds and examined an infected tri-color bat. Officials say a fungal infection as the potential to devastate the bat population.
Bats are mascots of the Halloween season, right up there with black cats and big, furry spiders. But bats themselves are facing something scary this October: a deadly disease straight out of a horror movie. White-nose syndrome (WNS) is a fungal infection that attacks and kills bats during their winter hibernation. The disease was named for the fuzzy white growths that appear on the noses and arms of some sick bats.
Bats with WNS become confused and display strange behavior, such as flying during the day or in times of year when they would normally be hibernating. WNS has not proven dangerous to other animals or humans, but it is killing bats in record numbers. Many caves containing infected bats have lost 90 to 100 per cent of their bat populations. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, WNS nearly six million bats in the U.S. and Canada have See BATS, Page 5

DEAR ABBY: I caught my 12-year-old granddaughter stealing. She took one of my favorite hair products, which isn’t a big deal, but I’m torn over how to approach her and if I should inform her parents. There was another possible theft once before when she visited me. Some makeup blush disappeared. I dismissed it, but now I have concerns. How should I handle this? I love her unconditionally, but this needs to be addressed and I don’t know how. I’m prepared that she might deny my accusation. Then what? -ALARMED IN RHODE ISLAND DEAR ALARMED: Tell your granddaughter that you enjoy having her visit, but you noticed that several items had disappeared after she stayed with you. Ask her if she took them. Regardless of how she responds, tell her that if she wants to use something of yours, before she does, she should ask permission. If it

happens after that, discuss it with her parents then. DEAR ABBY: My brother is a recovering heroin addict. He stayed clean for almost a year until a few months ago, when he relapsed. He hasn’t used again since his slip and continues to go to outpatient treatment. My boyfriend, whom I recently moved in with, doesn’t want him to come to the house. He says it’s to protect “his nest,” and I understand why. I have tried talking with him about it because I feel that I can’t have any other family members over, but that doesn’t seem to matter to him. My brother heard he isn’t
welcome and I feel absolutely terrible. I’m not sure how to rectify the situation. If my boyfriend can’t accept my family, how is this relationship supposed to last? But another part of me wonders if his feelings are justified, and perhaps I have been too accepting of all the mistakes and grief my brother has caused my family and me. -- SAD SISTER IN OHIO DEAR SAD SISTER: If your brother has stolen from the family in order to feed his habit, your boyfriend has a valid point in not wanting him in the house. His reaction is intelligent. However, the ban should not extend to your entire family, and this is something you need to clarify. If your boyfriend’s objective is to isolate you from all of your relatives, it’s a red flag that shouldn’t be ignored. DEAR ABBY: My daughter is marrying a wonderful young man who not only loves her, but also her 7-month-old
daughter, who is not his. My question is one of etiquette. During the wedding ceremony, if my granddaughter starts crying, should I get up and leave with her? She’s a little Mama’s girl and might start to fuss. I’d hate to miss my daughter’s wedding, but don’t want it to be ruined for her guests. What is the proper thing to do? -- BRIDE’S MOM ON THE EAST COAST DEAR BRIDE’S MOM: The proper thing to do is to ask your daughter -- well in advance of the wedding -what SHE would like done in the event that her daughter starts crying or acting up during the ceremony.

The Town of New Site has a new employee. Brittany Brown started Monday as assistant town clerk. “Brittany started with us this morning,” Mayor Curtis Mims said. “I am glad to see her up here. Shelia has now got some help. We are glad to have you Brittany.” Mayor Mims told the council about a suggestion from some citizens who have problems coming into city hall to pay their bills. “Shelia and I have been approached by some citizens who have a tough time coming in to pay bills,” Mayor Mims explained to the council. “They wanted a drive thru window. I told them that was impossible, that we could not do that. What we have looked at is a stainless steel box. Alex City has one. They are a little bit pricey, about $1,600 each.” After some discussion about possible placement, parking issues and security, the council decided to wait and see if there are other options from different vendors. The New Site Council also: • approved purchase of Bush Hog

Our
Opinion
Relicensing is T a no brainer T here’s no doubt that water is a big part of life in Alexander City. The town’s proximity to the Lake Martin – as well as the Tallapoosa River before the lake was built – has helped shape the community as well as all those who call it home. Martin Dam, too, plays an important role in the region and Alexander City in particular. From the beginning of construction in 1923 Alabama Power and Dixie Construction used 431,000 yards of concrete to complete the dam and close the gates in 1926. The history surrounding the dams in our area is very rich. That’s why this is an especially important time for Martin Dam. Martin Dam is awaiting its relicensing from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission even though more than six months have passed since a Final Environmental Impact Statement was released. Officials say that the delay is not unusual and that the project is under review. The only thing yet to be done, officials say, is the actual issuance of the license. FERC staffers say that there are no outstanding issues concerning the relicensing. They say the process should be complete by the end of 2015. That is great news. Our region is dependent on hydroelectric power. The abundant supply of power and water is what makes our region so attractive to industry. Officials say that there are no major obstacles remaining. That is good news. The clean waters of the Tallapoosa River are a valuable asset and the fact that they help form Lake Martin and create the clean energy that powers our community make this licensing even more vital. We understand that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission must be diligent in its efforts, but this one is a no-brainer for our region.
he Alabama Department of Revenue (ADOR) has made public the latest reports of scholarship granting organizations (SGO) participating in the Alabama Accountability Act. And once again we see how little accountability there really is in this law. There are currently nine SGOs listed by ADOR. All were supposed to make a report showing info for Jan. 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015. This was due by Sept. 1, 2015. Two have made no reports. Of the remaining seven, one made no annual report and its “quarterly” report was from June 1, 2015 to Aug. 1, 2015. Two made no quarterly reports and one annual report was late. Which means that of the nine, only three (AAA Scholarship Foundation, Montessori Society of Huntsville, Scholarships for Kids) have provided all required reports in a timely fashion. According to an article from AL.com, my friend Leslie Searcy, executive director of the Alabama Opportunity Scholarship Fund (the SGO created by former governor Bob Riley and operated out of Florida) says the accountability act is “certainly exceeding our expectations.” Let’s step back and take a look at the program in its entirety and see if we agree. (Judging AAA on just a quarterly report would be like saying that if a football team is ahead at the end of first quarter, it won the game and we can all go home.) Each dollar donated to an SGO is a dollar diverted from the Education
LARRY LEE Guest Columnist
Trust Fund and instead goes as a tax break for the donor. Total donations from the beginning of the program in 2013 until Oct. 22, 2015 were $54,395,485. This is nearly $54.4 million that potentially could not be used for class rooms, new buses, textbooks, etc. Looking at every report ADOR has posted and checking and doublechecking shows that a total of 10,220 scholarships have been awarded (remember that in the second year of the program, most go to a student enrolled the year before), 2,573 have gone to students either attending, or zoned to attend, a failing school and 1,374 have gone to students who were already enrolled in private schools. Of course, when AAA was passed in 2013 we were told repeatedly that it was to help kids stuck in failing schools by the zip codes. Obviously this is not the case. Certainly those 1,374 scholarships that went to students already attending a private school did not remove a child from a failing school. And “attending” and “zoned to attend” are two totally different things. In the first instance, the child leaves a failing school. In the second instance, a child already attending a private school, but zoned to attend a failing public school, is totally different. The two major SGOs are Alabama Opportunity
Scholarship Fund and Scholarships for Kids. Together they have awarded 10,040 of the 10,220 scholarships now given out. AOSF gave out 3,608 scholarships in 2014. The amended Accountability Act passed earlier this year states on page 3: to clarify and confirm that once an eligible student receives an educational scholarsip under this program that the student remains eligible to receive an educational scholarship unit the student graduates from high school or reaches 19 years of age. However, AOSF only awarded 2,059 this year and Searcy points out that all went to previous recipients. So does this mean 1,549 were not renewed even though the law says they are eligible? According to a report in the Montgomery Advertiser early this year, Ellwood Christian Academy in Selma had 198 students on scholarship from AOSF. However, when school started in August, 37 former Ellwood students enrolled in Selma city schools. Were these 37 students who expected scholarships and never got them? We have 735,000 students in Alabama public schools. As best I can figure, the most we could now have on an AAA scholarship is 4,408. So we have diverted $54.4 million from 735,000 so we can help 4,408. Really now. Exceeding expectations?

Timing of calls makes a difference in possibly saving lives Dear Editor, It makes a difference Famous 3 a.m. phone call: Who got that phone call first? The president or Hillary? Hillary stated in a hearing she called President Obama who notified her of the attack and at what time? We deserve answers. Was there anyone assembling in war room? The president? Secretary of State Hillary? Leon Panetta? Gen. Petreaus? Joe Biden? After all,d our embassy was under attack, terrorists using mortar rounds, Ak-47s, set fire to the compound with diesel fuel – all this as an unarmed drone flew overhead capturing the attack on video. When did the Secretary of
State finally find out about all the faxes and emails sent by Ambassador Stevens, pleading for more security? What was her reaction? After all, four brave men died and it could have made a difference. If this country could have made a difference. If this country could not protect Ambassador Stevens then he should have been relocated to Tripoli until the Benghazi compound problems could be assessed. This was negligence at it’s worst and should be treated seriously. Her facial expressions of boredom, exasperation and condescending smirks showed her arrogance. Giving evasive answers, long-winded non-answers, only gave us a
look at a politician who wants to win at any cost. Hillary did not score a win at this hearing. Americans who care about this country and those who serve us, we are the losers. No matter how you spin it, red warning flags were sent over and over to her security department and were ignored. The murder of these four great Americans could have been prevented. As Secretary of State she failed them. The buck stopped at your office, Hillary. The 3 a.m. phone call in came in and you weren’t there. America deserves better. God bless our troops.

Searcy a lot in the way of wealth, but he built a fortune in terms of what he did for others,” his daughter Allison Searcy Bird said Wednesday. “He believed in helping others and giving of his time. There wasn’t a cause that he felt unworthy of his time and dedication and that’s something he passed on to us all.” Searcy was instrumental in the establishment of the Boys and Girls Club of Lake Martin and the facility was named in his honor. He was a regular volunteer at the Bill Nichols Veteran’s Home, Children’s Harbor and was a member of the Alexander City Rotary Club and served in a leadership role there and helped with their many charitable causes. He was remembered for his quick wit and his friends said that he always had a way to make you smile or bring levity to even the most stressful situation. His daughter said that he built a lifetime of memories with his family as well. “He loved to travel and he shared that love with us and we had some incredible adventures along the way,” Bird said. “There were so many trips that we took and he always had a way of making even the simplest things exciting.” Before coming to Alexander City, Searcy served on the Demopolis City School Board for seven years, and was past president of the Chamber of Commerce in Demopolis. He served in the U.S. Army for 8 years, and worked as a self-employed salesman for Continental Housing from 1966-1979. Mr. Searcy graduated from Auburn University and was an avid fan.
continued from page 1 His family said that he was a loyal blood donor, having donated 17 gallons of blood to the blood bank. Memorial services are set for today at 11 a.m. at the Wayside Baptist Church on Dadeville Road in Alexander City with Rev. Shane Dismuke officiating. Searcy will lie in state for one hour prior to the service. Burial will follow in the Pineview Cemetery in Wetumpka at 2:30 p.m. Searcy is survived by his wife of 57 years, Jennifer LeMaster Searcy of Alexander City; son, Danny Searcy (Regina), of Alexander City; daughters, Leslie Searcy Shoemake of Alexander City and Allison Searcy Bird (Mike), of Montgomery; grandchildren, Shanna Thompson (Daniel), Hilary Dollar, and Michael Bird; great-grandchildren, Chloe Bagley, Owen Thompson, and Zachary Thompson; and special cousin, John Rumph of Union Springs. Bird said that his family meant the world to her father. “He was devoted to my mother and any cause that she had, it was passed on to Dad,” Bird said. “He was that way with all of us. If it was important to us, it was important to him.” In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions be given to the Boys and Girls Club of Lake Martin, P.O. Box 1016, Alexander City, AL 35011, Camp ASSCA, P.O. Box 21, Jackson’s Gap, AL 36861, Children’s Harbor, 1 Our Children’s Highway, Alexander City, AL 35010, and Wayside Baptist Church, 21 Wayside Circle, Alexander City, AL 35010.
Office The office of the Probate Judge in Dadeville will continue to renew driver licenses, but no driver examinations – written or on-road – will be administered there. In another story related to motor vehicles in the state, but not related to ALEA, Principal Deputy Attorney General of the U.S. Vanita Gupta has notified Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange he has authorized a lawsuit against the state for its failure to implement after more than 20 years Section 5 of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, also known as the Motor Voter Law. “Our investigation indicates widespread noncompliance with Section 5 in Alabama,” Gupta writes. “Throughout the state, it appears that applications for an Alabama driver’s license or a non-driver identification card do not serve as applications for voter registration with respect to elections for Federal office and that change of address submission for driver’s license purposes do not serve as notification of a change of address for voter registration purposes. “And while it appears the State’s motor vehicle offices may at times provide Alabama’s mail-in voter registration form or agency-based voter registration form to applicants who specifically request them, that practice is no substitute for compliance with the requirements of the NVRA. Many of those motor vehicle offices, moreover, will not accept and transmit completed voter registration forms to the appropriate election authorities. These failures violate the NVRA and deprive numerous Alabama citizens of important voter registration opportunities required under federal law.” Strange and his office declined to comment on the letter, referring questions to Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill and Alabama Secretary of Law Enforcement Spencer

Collier. Merrill told al.com he and Collier began discussions on how to comply with the Motor Voter Act long before he was made aware of the Justice Department letter in September. He said the two have agreed in principle to spend between $500,000 to $1 million – Merrill said he found the money to do it – to create software and applications to bring the state into compliance.. Many groups have ranked Alabama last among states for implementation of Motor Voter. The Center for American Progress Action Fund listed Alabama as 51st of 51 in compliance, giving the state an “F” in voter accessibility. Merrill said he hopes the steps taken will speak to the Justice concerns. +
Bats already died from the disease. WNS was first documented in New York in 2006. Since then, it has spread rapidly across the Southern and Midwestern states. The disease reached Alabama by 2012, when it was found in bats living in the Russell Cave Complex in Jackson County. It’s easy to ignore the deaths of creatures most people try to avoid. But bats are vital to agriculture in Alabama and the rest of the country. According to a 2012 press release from the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, bats save U.S. farmers about $3 billion dollars every year by eating insects that cause crop damage. “You’re talking about a significant impact on our economy,” said Nick Sharp, a Nongame Biologist with the Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division. This winter, Sharp and other biologists will explore bat hibernation sites – called hibernaculums – to study the spread of the disease among Alabama’s bat population. Alabama is home to 15 species of bats, three of which are threatened or endangered. According to Sharp, our state is an important hub of activity for one of those species, the endangered gray bat. “We have the largest and most important summer roost for gray bats in the world in Sauta Cave in Jackson County. And we have the largest and most important hibernaculum for gray bats in Fern Cave, also in Jackson County,” he said. So far, WNS has not been found in Alabama’s gray bats. But the threatened tricolored bat has been affected, and gray bats with WNS have been found in Tennessee. So far, there is no cure for WNS. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service asks that people who visit caves known for bats

decontaminate all their gear and clothing afterward. This keeps spores of the fungus that causes WNS from hitching a ride out of the cave and into the open air, where they can infect more bats. Any sightings of bats that appear to have WNS should be reported to the Alabama offices of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. If humans don’t take steps to stop the decline of the bat population, WNS will become a nightmare, not just for bats, but for everyone.
Burglars cross on top of it. That sounds odd, but that was something that was very distinct that was taken in this case.” Foshee said it was apparent that the burglars went through several rooms in the building, but no major damage or ransacking was visible. “There was evidence that the sound room at the church had been rambled through,” Foshee said. “They didn’t immediately notice anything that was missing there, but they were going to check with others at the church just to make sure.” Investigators said anyone with any information on either case should report it to the police department

at 256-234-3421. Investigators said that churches and businesses can make themselves harder targets with a few simple changes. They say that buildings should be lit extensively on the interior and exterior and timers on lighting can be used in times when the building is unoccupied. They said that alarm systems and security cameras are also a deterrent to would-be thieves. “It can be simple things like schedule people to drop by and check on things in hours when the building is not open,” Foshee said. “If a burglar is unsure if there is someone inside, they will likely move on to try another location.”

YRXMP JMPPIH 8LI 'MX] SJ 0E*E]IXXI MW ER IUYEP STTSVXYRMX] IQTPS]IV TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You could be concerned about someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attitude regarding money. You might Ă&#x201E;nd that this person is closing down. Have a discussion with this person. Relax and let go, if possible. There will be changes later, but confusion reigns right now. Tonight: Pay bills Ă&#x201E;rst. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You seem to sense various chaotic forces around you. Tune in to what is important to you, and make what feels like the appropriate decision. You might feel energized. Others are likely to notice your charisma and respond accordingly. Tonight: Go for what you want. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Your sensitivity could overwhelm you today, causing your intuition to become confused. Take a walk and get some fresh air to clear your head. Know that you might need to take a stroll more than once today! Tonight: Buy a fountain on the way home. Relax to the sound of water. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You recognize the importance of networking. Plan on touching base with several key people, and make lunch plans. A partner, associate or dear loved one might only add to the chaos. Do your best to stay centered. Tonight: Find your friends, and make weekend plans. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Tension builds because you feel as though you must act a certain way. Is this based on your judgment, or someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s? Let go of your need to please others, and trust in your abilities. Tonight: Whatever you are doing, you could be out till the wee hours.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Your abilities to charm others, see results and detach will come together. Still, be careful, as there could be a backĂ&#x201E;re. Not everyone understands you or your personality. Authenticity will make a difference. A discussion with an expert will be fascinating. Tonight: Be spontaneous. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HH You could be exhausted by what is happening with a loved one. You might feel overwhelmed by all the changes going on right now. Take your time, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rely on your feelings; logic is what counts. You will be in a position where you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say too much. Tonight: Be patient. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Others encourage you to join them. You might not realize how distant you are. Consider letting go and relaxing. You will gain from the experience if you let go of a judgment that could be off. Ask yourself why you have adopted this protective stance. Tonight: Sort through offers. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You can be overly serious without intending to. You might be focused on completing a project or getting through some work or personal calls. If you note negativity coming from you, do your best to pull away before you say or do anything drastic. Tonight: Easy works. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Your playfulness is renowned. While others could get locked into a situation, you will bypass it with ease. Be careful with your Ă&#x201E;nances, as they could be out of whack. Be sure not to sign any Ă&#x201E;nancial agreements or contracts right now. Tonight: Full of fun and games. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Tension builds in your personal or domestic life. No matter what happens, you will have to come face to face with the issue. The other party involved might be touchy, but eventually he or she will become caring and understanding. Help create that moment. Tonight: At home.

TIGERS TANGLE TONIGHT IN DADEVILLE
Playoff-bound Dadeville, Eufaula battle in Thursday night regular season finale By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor
While the playoffs are one week away, the Dadeville Tigers have one more tough challenge before they can look forward to the postseason. The Dadeville Tigers of Class 4A will host the Eufaula Tigers of Class 5A on Thursday at 7 p.m. in the regular-season finale for two postseason-bound teams. Richard White, head coach of Dadeville (5-4), said Eufaula (7-2) has been impressive under firstyear coach Bryan Moore. He said Eufaula’s new spread offense will also be similar to Dadeville’s firstround opponent, Thomasville. “They have a new head coach and he’s changed that offense from an I-formation type set to the spread,” White said. “He’s done a good job with those kids. They’re a good football team that’s only lost two games to Greenville and Benjamin Russell, which are pretty good football teams. They’re a good team and our work is cut out for us again. A game like this can get us ready for the playoffs because our first-round playoff game is a similar foe in what they do offensively. “Seeing a similar offense is good for us.” Though the similarities of Eufaula and Thomasville are certainly in the back of White’s mind, he said Dadeville is still taking the season one game at a time and looking at the challenge on Thursday first. “We’ve still got to go play one game at a time. That’s all we can do,” White said. “We can’t look ahead because we’re not good enough to do that and when you do
that you get beat. We have to prepare for Eufaula, and when we get done with this one we’ll go back to the drawing board and start on preparing for Thomasville.” White said he is hoping his team can carry over the momentum from last week’s road win over a good Handley team, which saw Dadeville come back from a double-digit deficit at the half. “I think we gained a lot of confidence. A lot of young kids stepped up,” White said. “We were down two touchdowns at halftime and hadn’t played that bad. But our kids buckled down in the second half and took it upon themselves to start playing like a Dadeville football team. We only gave up seven points in the second half and scored 38, so I was glad to see us respond like that. We were bouncing around, being a joyful football team that second half and they looked like they were having fun. “Hopefully, they grew up a little bit and we’re getting a little better at the right time of the year.” And in order to win on Thursday night, White said his team will have to do the same things he has been preaching all season – minimize mistakes, sustain drives and force turnovers. “Again, we can’t turn the ball over. We’re not good enough to overcome turnovers, a bunch of three-and-outs and those type of things, offensively,” White said. “We’ve got to move the ball, run some clock and play better defense. If we play defense like we did the second half of the Handley game, then we’ve got a chance. Cliff Williams / Outlook File Photo Hopefully, if we do those things and maybe force some turnovers Dadeville’s Margarius Buchanan (4) and the Tigers will look to close the regular season with a win over Eufaula. we can come out with a win.”

Dadeville native and former Dadeville Tiger Darrion Hutcherson (84) caught a 13-yard touchdown, above right, from Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott during the Bulldogs’ 42-16 homecoming win over Kentucky this past Saturday. Hutcherson, a senior tight end, had three catches and 40 yards receiving to go along with his touchdown.
Two schools of thought on Auburn, Alabama entering home stretch of season
T
wo schools of thought as we approach the season’s homestretch: Auburn simply hopes to make a bowl game, while Alabama’s aspirations of a national championship remain somewhat wobbly, but intact. The Tigers had a chance to all but clinch bowl-eligibility last Saturday at Arkansas, but allowed two overtime leads to slip away in a bitter 54-46 defeat. Auburn (4-3) must now win two more games to become bowl-eligible – with a figurative gimmie at home Nov. 21 against Idaho. Heavyweights Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Georgia and Alabama occupy the rest of the schedule. Despite holding the Razorbacks to 24 points in regulation, Auburn allowed Arkansas to score on five-consecutive possessions (including a fourth-quarter field
JOE MCADORY Sports Columnist
goal), and points one fourconsecutive plays from scrimmage. It was 46-38, Auburn, before the Razorbacks scored 1) a four-yard touchdown, 2) a two-point conversion, 3) a 25-yard touchdown pass on the very next play, and then 4) another two-point conversion. Just like that, it was 54-46, Hogs, before Auburn ran another offensive play. For what it’s worth: since Auburn switched to the spread offense in 2008, its opponents have averaged 26 points and 392.4 yards per game. It’s interesting how a change of offensive philosophy could have an impact on defensive
numbers. In the eight seasons prior to that change (2000-07), opponents averaged just 16.9 points and 305.6 yards per game. This season, opponents are averaging 29.7 points and 430.6 yards per game. Sure, these are boring stats, but they’re facts. EKGs aren’t entertaining to read either, but they tell a story. If Auburn is to have a pulse this postseason, these numbers must change for the better against the most daunting stretch on its schedule, which begins Saturday when Ole Miss visits JordanHare Stadium. Alabama (7-1) isn’t concerning itself with making a bowl game. It’s Larry Culpepper’s Playoffs or bust. This isn’t one of Nick Saban’s better teams. Alabama lost to Ole Miss, struggled against Arkansas, and nearly lost to a pedestrian Tennessee team. But even if it’s not one of
Saban’s best teams, it doesn’t have to be. The Tide’s defense is dynamite, and that’s often good enough to win championships on the grandest of stages. Gene Stallings’ 1992 team was carried by defense. The Baltimore Ravens even won the 2001 Super Bowl with awful Trent Dilfer at quarterback. Several other national heavyweights are less than perfect, too. Ohio State hasn’t lived up to Super Team status. Michigan State is waiting to be beaten. TCU can’t play defense. Baylor lost its starting quarterback. All Alabama has to do is win out, right? Yes and no. First, it must win out to have a chance – and the Nov. 7 Game of the Century Part II vs. LSU will be a great test. If Ole Miss wins out, it will win the West. Then our playoff committee would have a serious
conundrum and BCS lord Roy Kramer will have a big laugh. Quick kicks: Playoff Projection: Ohio State, Baylor, Clemson and Alabama. Kick ‘em only while their down: Auburn’s record against Ole Miss is ridiculously onesided, with the Tigers holding a 29-10 series record. Since 1966, Ole Miss has beaten Auburn just five times (1992, 1999, 2003, 2008 and 2012). Of those seasons, only 2003 was a winning one for the Tigers. To sum: Ole Miss beats Auburn only when Auburn has a losing year, or when it has Eli Manning. Joe McAdory is Communications Editor at Auburn University’s Raymond J.
