Local armory targeted for closure Rep. Mark Tuggle rips move to close Alex City’s Fort Mac Speaks By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

A lack of state matching funds required to draw down federal dollars to meet the Alabama National Guard’s facility needs will result in the closure of 19 National Guard armories across the state, including Mac W. Speaks Armory in Alexander City. The Alabama National Guard facilities Master Plan includes

closing and consolidation of 15 armories between fiscal years 2014 to 2017. Those armories are in Albertville and Monroeville, both of which are already closed, plus Aliceville, Brantley, Camden, Elba, Fort Deposit, Geneva, Hartford, Jackson, Jasper, Scottsboro, Sheffield, Sylacauga and Vernon. The Alabama Legislature’s $200,000 reduction to the National Guard budget for fiscal year 2016 forced a corre-

sponding reduction in facilities operations and maintenance. By reducing six additional armories, the National Guard says it will effectively reduce those costs to meet the state budget for 2016. The six additional armories that will close are in Huntsville, Winfield, Alexander City, Demopolis, Marion, and Eufaula. In selecting these armories for closure, the Alabama National Guard considered the cost to See ARMORY, Page 7

Harvest time is here for most commercial crops grown in Tallapoosa County, but it is still too early to tell just what the output will be for this growing season. Recent weather conditions were said by an area farmer to be behind a lull in productivity that has pushed back the time it will take to finish gathering and to get numbers on which crop grew what amount. It has been the recent high humidity and cloud cover, not just the rainfall, that is preventing moisture from drying on the plants in order for them to be harvested, said Toby Hanson. Hanson the county’s largest row planter, and two of his main crops are corn and soybeans. He works fields in and around the New Site area. Last year, according to Cynthia Price, a state statistician with the USDA,

When Terry Wilson took office as sheriff in Coosa County, it was clear to him that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to be the kind of sheriff he hoped to be with a staff of only nine deputies. So Wilson met with

state officials and began taking the steps he needed to take to create the non-profit Coosa County Sheriff’s Reserve, a group of volunteers that has grown to 30 in number See FUNDS, Page 7 Cliff Williams / The Outlook

The Outlook DEAR ABBY: Our family dog recently passed away after a year-long decline. I had grown up with him. He had reached the point where he needed daily care for his body, even though his mind was 100 percent there. Near the end, things got very bad. I got only about four hours of broken sleep a night caring for him, and no one in the family would help me. During part of his daily care routine, he had a second accident all over the freshly cleaned floor. I lost it and hit him. He’s gone now, and I can barely live with myself. When I think about it, I get nauseated and dry-heave. I literally hate myself. In my book, exhaustion doesn’t give anyone the right to do what I did. I’m old enough to know better. This makes me want to change my life plans and never have another pet or have children -- just in case. Am I right? -- LOWLIFE IN THE USA DEAR “LOWLIFE”: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your beloved furry

Obituaries Mrs. Donna Kay Bailey 1957-2015 Funeral service for Donna Kay Bailey, 58, of Alexander City, will be Saturday, October 3, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at the Chapel of Radney Funeral Home. Rev. Jamey Williams will officiate. Burial will follow in the Hillview Memorial Park. The family will receive friends on Friday, October 2, 2015 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Radney Funeral Home. Mrs. Bailey passed away on Wednesday, September 30, 2015 at her residence. She was born on June 14, 1957

DEAR ABBY Advice

friend. While what happened is regrettable, you are wrong to beat yourself up the way you are. There is something called “caregiver burnout,” which I’m advising you to research. When caregivers are stressed and sleep-deprived, mental health advisers urge them to find respite care for their patient. Lack of sleep can cause people to react badly. If your family had been more supportive and you had had proper rest, you probably would not have snapped. What happened does not mean you are doomed to repeat this with another pet or a child. DEAR ABBY: I have a daughter-in-law I would like

in Tallapoosa County to Aldrich O Thomas and Flora Jones Thomas. She was an active member of Rock Springs Baptist Church. Mrs. Bailey was a very loving person. She loved God and loved people and never met a stranger. She is survived by her husband, Michael Ray Bailey; daughter, Tammy K Nolen (Frances), of Alexander City; brother, Hayward Ayers (Sybil); sister, Lyida Caldwell (Chris). She was preceded in death by her parents. Memorial messages may be sent to the family at www.radneyfuneralhome.com. Radney Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.

to get to know. “Karla” and my son have been married for four years. My dilemma is texting. Karla refuses to carry on conversations on the phone or in person. Everything has to be texted. When I have explained to her that I wanted to get to know her better and felt that texts were impersonal, she claimed that they are all she has time for between working and taking care of the children. I don’t mind watching the children; I’d just like to know a day in advance unless it’s an emergency. Abby, she is rude, disrespectful and treats me like a servant rather than a family member. Am I wrong to expect non-emergency things to be scheduled in advance, or is it acceptable to text and say, “Hey, I need you to watch the kids. Be here at noon”? -HURT FEELINGS DEAR HURT FEELINGS: No, you’re not wrong. The next time you receive a text like the one you quoted, send one back

that says, “Not available then -- need more warning. Ask sooner next time.” DEAR ABBY: I am blessed to be 70 years old and have few problems. Your column today got me wondering about something. You answered, “For Pete’s sake...” to a question. I just wondered, who is Pete? I have heard the expression all my life and am just curious. -DALE IN THE SOUTH DEAR DALE: That’s a good question, because I didn’t know where the phrase came from either. “For Pete’s sake” is a mild oath. According to my online research, it’s a cleanedup version of what was originally “For Christ’s sake.” Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Opinion

Study is first step in process to clear the air

t was encouraging to see the reception the Alexander City City Council gave to the idea of a pay study that would be performed by the Center for Governmental Services at Auburn University. After all the questions, animosity and angst over inequities in pay and increases that were discovered that had not been approved by the council earlier this year, the study would be an ideal way to get on the right page once and for all. AU Human Resources Program Manager Maria Tamblyn said a group would study the pay, grade and responsibilities of all city jobs and give a recommendation on what each position should be paid based on comparable cities across the state. During the budget process, several council members have questioned why one person may have a job grading that is higher than another person who has the exact same job title. Councilman Jim Spann said the system is peppered with those kinds of inequities. This study, Tamblyn said, will establish equities and assure equal pay for equal work. The plan should also help the city with recruitment and retention of current employees because their pay should compare with similar jobs elsewhere. They say that to correct a problem, you have to realize there is a problem. Council members appear to be to that point. “We are too close to it,” Spann said. “We know these people. It’s understandable that we would have an opinion because we know them. We grew up with them. We go to church with them and they are our neighbors. “Regardless of what we say, we would have biases. You don’t have that bias. You would get that completely independent, view that is only available from someone from the outside working strictly on the data that they gathered. I think that can be very valuable, especially if we are serious about fixing this thing once and for all.” We are glad that the council is considering doing the study. It will be the best $49,000 they have spent in a long time, if they follow it to the letter.

The

Concern is not how to make government work, but how to stop it

peaker of the House Boehner’s sudden resignation resulted in a chain reaction of Republicans looking to fill the leadership void he has occupied for 5 years. The “barbarians at the gate,” conservatives demanding Boehner’s resignation, might be quelled in the short run. But herding the cats of the GOP, with their intense insurgents, wealth of ideas and impatience to stop the Democrats’ leftist agenda, is a difficult task. Getting the various factions of the GOP to agree on legislation is like gift-wrapping an octopus. Boehner, an historic figure as the first orange Speaker of the House, will move on. With all the bronzer he uses, he might be looking to head the Spokane chapter of the NAACP. He might have an easier time leading that group than the cantankerous Republican caucus. Democrats, monolithic lemmings interested only in power, are easy to lead. If Pelosi or Reid tells them to vote for something, they comply without question. When is the last time Democrats had an impassioned and divisive policy dispute? Never. They learned not to stand up for what they believe in; that way, Obama can’t sell them out. Dems enforce party discipline like the Mafia enforces its franchise, with equal parts intimidation and reward. Nancy Pelosi wants to be in charge again, and will enforce party discipline to get there. The evil Pelosi will not rest until she again controls Congress or captures all 101 Dalmatians. Boehner was the lightning rod for various factions of the GOP. Libertarians wanted less war, government and debt. The evangelical wing

RON HART Columnist

of the party wanted to station U.S. troops at all gay weddings. Grandstanding Republicans wanted to use the currency of the party to embark on things like defunding Obamacare, Planned Parenthood, and the Iranian deal, which were not veto-proof – and therefore not doable. Boehner told them to be realistic, not symbolic, and that political patience would pay off in winning the White House. He chose a very large gavel when he took over as Speaker. Methinks the large gavel is Boehner compensating for his small government. The media do all they can do the help Democrats. They lead the narrative that Republicans shut down the government when their demands are not met – and not that Obama is being obstinate. When it was said politicians were shutting down the federal government and leading us over the “fiscal cliff,” most of us were pulling for gravity to work and hoping for low tide on the rocks below. My concern is not how to continue to make government work, it’s how to make it stop. Threats of government shutdowns will continue. Such standoffs have no easy off-ramps for either side; neither wants to be the first to blink. But Dems have the decided advantage, since Nancy Pelosi has not blinked since the sequester. The tactic of government throwing a temper tantrum when denied massive funding has run its course. Is $3.7 trillion it spends a year not

enough? We are left with a swollen, bureaucratic morass that intimidates its funders: the taxpayers. Our government is structurally incapable of spending just a little less than it did the year before, and it seeks revenge when we ask it to live within its means. History will treat Boehner kindly. He’s a good man and likable. The hard drinking, golfing and smoking son of a bartender, he just fell in with the wrong crowd: Congress. The National Enquirer reported that Boehner had a couple of affairs, one with a lady lobbyist. If so, that certainly refutes Republicans always being “The Party of No.” He opposed Obama as best he could and was rewarded with betrayal when he tried to negotiate in good faith. He sat behind Obama and endured his State of the Union speeches. During those diatribes, Boehner looked like a man enduring an old lady’s long story at a WalMart return counter. If there is a government shutdown in Washington because Boehner steps down and more militant Republicans take over, I am all for it. During the last one, no one noticed. What they ought to do is shut down government in D.C., see what we actually miss that they do, then hire a few of them back. Both Boehner and Bernie Sanders will be OK. If the lights go out in D.C., Boehner will still glow. And aging curmudgeon Bernie Sanders will try to clap his hands to turn the lights back on.

Yes, circles do have a beginning and an end

ircles really do have a beginning and an end. But you cannot be in a rush to find them. This particular circle began one Christmas years ago and ended recently at the cemetery across the road from Liberty Baptist Church in the southwest part of Bullock County. About 15 years ago my son Kevin gave me a book, Conecuh People, Words of Life from the Alabama Black Belt. It was written by someone I had never heard of by the name of Wade Hall. At its heart the book is about someone’s search for themselves. A journey to better understand who were the people who shaped us and the things and people who made them who they were. So nearly 40 years ago, Wade Hall set off on a venture that took him 15 years and countless trips from Louisville, Kentucky back to Bullock County, Alabama to gather oral histories of family and friends. It was easy for me to relate to his stories of brush swept yards, outhouses, wood-burning stoves and women wearing bonnets and dipping snuff. All were vivid images from my own childhood visits to kinfolks in Covington County. A few years later I got the news that this book was now a play and that a determined group of folks in Union Springs and Bullock County had acquired the use of the former Episcopal church in town, ordained it the Red Door Theater, and were set to perform. And on the last Saturday night in April 2004 I was sitting in a pew trying to stir the air with a funeral home fan and watching the book come to life. There was his mother, who he called “Babe” and the grandmother “Mama.” A teacher from Inverness school, a moonshin-

er and Elma Lee Hall, snuff and all. I went every spring because in reality, I was going back to Covington County, instead of Bullock. And I got to know Wade Hall, a truly interesting man who turned out to be Dr. Wade Henry Hall, Jr. author, collector and professor emeritus of English at Bellarmine College in Kentucky. A man of letters from the unlikely settlement known as Hall’s Crossroads. (But then, who might imagine Georgiana giving the world Hank Williams?) The middle of the Great Depression was not necessarily a good time to choose to be born in rural Bullock County. But such was Wade’s lot. By the time he finished high school at age 16, Wade had enjoyed all the wood cutting and picking cotton he cared to and intended to get as far away as he could. Books and teachers and classrooms were his way out and he enrolled at Troy State Teachers College. Over time, with detours to teach school in Opp and serve in the Army in Germany, Wade got his doctorate at the University of Illinois and settled into the life of an academic in Louisville. In addition to his time as a professor, Wade was a prolific writer and authored and edited a number of publications. But he never got Hall’s Crossroads out of his DNA. Nor did he want to. And while his education gave him the opportunity to rub shoulders with literary greats, he came to know that plain and simple lives have a nobility all their own.

He says in Conecuh People, “Now I know that I am truly my parents’ son and the product of the school and church and community that for sixteen years stamped me indelibly and shaped me into the man I was to become.” There is a wonderful lesson in this statement that too few heed today, especially some who wish us to call them “leaders.” It is simply what good folks in Bullock and Covington counties mean when they caution someone to not get above your raising. Wade came home in 2006. Back to remaining family and friends. Back to distant memories. Ones that will forever live in Conecuh People. Now he has made his final visit to Liberty Baptist Church and the cemetery where this community has buried its loved ones for more than 150 years. I was there when Wade Henry Hall, Jr. was laid to rest next to his beloved mother, Babe. In a speck of land scattered with the graves of so many he learned from as he wrote his book. His was a rich and full life. Made possible by the love for books and teachers and classrooms. And fed by a curiosity about those all around him who taught him how to live and what is honestly important. As I drove away from the little brick church founded in 1837, the words to the old hymn Will The Circle Be Unbroken ran though my head. And I knew the one that began with a Christmas gift and one that began in 1934 had both now been completed.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You have a lot of energy when it comes to communicating with others. You might want to clear out any details of the workweek or make plans for the next few days. You have a lot to say about your day-to-day life, but understand that it is subject to change. Tonight: Out and about. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might be worried, as your expenses seem to be soaring out of control. How you deal with a loved one could change once you gain a diÉ&#x2C6;erent perspective. You tend to go overboard when indulging someone. This person will love every moment. Tonight: Your treat. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Your hands are full, but fortunately you can process information quickly and come up with answers easily. Your smile will draw in someone closer. If you are single, use your innate charm well. Tonight: Wherever you are, trust that others are aware of your presence. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be in a situation that you would prefer not to be in. At the moment, try to detach and ride out the problem. You might be surprised by what comes up for you. At a certain point, you will feel as if you have had enough. Look for a better option. Tonight: Go for mystery! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You always make quite an impression, and today is no diÉ&#x2C6;erent. In a meeting, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll show oÉ&#x2C6; your wit, intelligence and natural aÉ&#x2030;nity for people. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? to an invitation that sounds too good to be true; it could go in your favor. Tonight: Where the crowds are. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You might feel pressured to take charge in your own way. You can do that, but be careful about creating much more work for yourself as a result. To pitch in one time is very diÉ&#x2C6;erent from having to do this same deed all the time. Be careful here. Tonight: The lead player.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might be at your witsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; end and want to make a major change. Keep your eye on the longterm as well as the short-term eÉ&#x2C6;ects of following through. You are more emotional than you realize. Follow your sixth sense -- it will point to the right choice. Tonight: All smiles. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH A conversation of depth between you and a loved one canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be escaped, and could be worthwhile. You might want to set the stage for this talk. Relax more, and ultimately you will be quite happy with the results. Tonight: Create the mood you want at a place you love. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You could be dealing with one or more key people in your life. A boss, though well-meaning, might create some uproar. Others seem to be rather touchy. Refuse to get involved, and go oÉ&#x2C6; and enjoy your weekend. A friend will lighten up the moment. Tonight: Head home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You have the ability to change your mind and head in a diÉ&#x2C6;erent direction. Your Ă&#x2026;exibility surprises people who look to you as an authority Ă&#x201E;gure. Your self-conĂ&#x201E;dence allows you to head down a diÉ&#x2C6;erent path from that which many others would choose. Tonight: Say what you feel. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Your playfulness will take you down a new path, but before you go too far, you might want to change direction. Is this where you really want to be? Make sure it is, because after a certain point, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to go back. A partner is very indulgent. Tonight: Be bohemian. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could feel tense around a domestic issue. You know what you want, so go for it! Are you aware of what you will need in order to deal with this issue? Think twice before you cause a rift right now. Be willing to listen to the other side. Tonight: Head home early.

State Rep. Mark Tuggle, whose House District 81 includes Alexander City, supported the Alabama National Guard by sponsoring and helping achieve House passage of a $50 million bond issue and supporting Amendment 2, which would have provided $50 million to the state National Guard, in 2014. Tuggle voiced his displeasure with Wednesday’s announcement in an email to

Maj. Gen. Perry Smith, the state’s Adjutant General, who oversees the state’s Army and Air National Guards. “I have spent my personal time to tour your armories and understand your issues and the mission of the Alabama National Guard,” Tuggle wrote. “I sponsored and ushered your $50 million bond issue through the Alabama House of Representatives.

Hanson said that so far his corn production is up from past years but not substantially. He said that he is not completely satisfied with the

results of this year’s corn growth, even with the slight increase. More rain would have made the difference, he said. His soybean outlook seems to be holding true to the trend that Price noted though. Last year was not a good soybean season according to Hanson. However, unlike the corn, he said, his soy crop has thrived with this season’s rainfall. According to Price, the five-year figures show topsoil

and subsoil moisture levels have been generally adequate across the state so far this season. Hanson said that the plants have filled out to a point where they are actually too tall, and he is expecting10 to 15 bushels higher of a turnout than last season’s. “Soybeans look a whole lot better than last year’s,” Hanson said. Right now though, he said it is too early to guess at whole yield amounts, but Hanson said that the optimism he felt going into this growing season has so far been warranted.

I had to have one,” Rosalyn said. The yarn and fishing line creation that the Hooper’s are creating in the Tindal’s yard will have about a half-mile of white yarn suspended with 50-pound test fishing line and this is not even close to the Hoopers’ largest web. “I have built a web that was up in a 60-foot canopy,” Greg said. “It had over 3 and half miles of

who augment his small staff of nine deputies. “They help us tremendously in a lot of different ways,” Wilson said. “We can count on them to back us up and support us. They serve as ride-along partners, work alongside our corrections officers in the jail, supplement our courthouse and courtroom security and help us as security at the community events we have in the county – like Kellyton Trade Day or Weogufka Mule Day –by providing a presence as a deputy sheriff.” But, according to Wilson, there is one key way through which the Sheriff’s Reserve, a 501 (c) 3 to which donations are tax-deductible, aids his department. “One of my main deputies is a school resource officer, a cop in the schools,” Wilson said. “As such, he has programs at all three of our schools for which he often needs materials and handouts. That’s where the Lake Martin Area United Way comes in. “We are one of the agencies supported by the Lake Martin Area United Way and they help us provide Deputy (Jason) Smith with a lot of the things he needs in the schools.” Wilson said those things include materials for antidrug, anti-bullying and other educational programs as well as things like “balloons and key chains, the kinds of things that help us get the kids’ attention.” Wilson said he is proud of the Coosa County Sheriff’s Reserve and appreciative of the support of the Lake Martin Area United Way. “I couldn’t be the kind of sheriff for Coosa County that I want to be without the volunteers of the Coosa County Sheriff’s Reserve,” said Wilson. “And, in addition to that, we wouldn’t

be able to do what we do, particularly in our schools, without the support of the Lake Martin Area United Way.” The Lake Martin Area United Way needs your support to reach its campaign goal and help the 26 agencies it supports, including the Coosa County Sheriff’s Reserve. You can send your donation to Lake Martin Area United Way, P.O. Box 876, Alexander City, AL 35011 or give at their office at 17-B Main Street in Alexander City.

yarn in it.” The Hooper’s spinning follows their travel and visiting habits. “First one this year was in Florida,” Anette said. “This is this second one. We will likely tie one in North Carolina at my daughter’s house. When we visit this time of year – we will tie a spider web. This is his fun hobby. Anytime we go anywhere around Halloween – they get a web.” Last year the Hoopers built 11 webs in nine states. Greg learned to make the webs about 15 years ago in Vermont. “I saw these two little girls making a spider web out of yarn,” Greg said. “They told me it was their first and last because they could not figure out the knots.” That got Greg to think-

ing. “I know knots,” Greg said. “I was a scout leader for 15 years and love knots. I tied the webs for about four years but they were ugly.” Greg’s troubles were solved in his sleep. “I dreamed a knot one night that solved everything,” Greg said. “You see it is simple.” “You sit next to your girlfriend and then put your arm around her,” Greg explained as the technique to tie a slip knot. “I tie the web at eye level and use the fishing line to pull them up into the trees.” Greg has his sights on bigger webs. “I hope to make one from at least five miles of yarn,” Greg said. “That would be a world record that I think no one can beat unless they have my knot.”

However, the Master Cooperative Agreement requires a 50/50 federal/state match and the Alabama Legislature over that period has appropriated on $16 million to go toward that match. The lack of state matching funds resulted in allocation of the federal match funds to lower priority and fully federal funded facilities rather than armories.

ALL ‘FORE’ AN IMPORTANT CAUSE Auburn Coach Bruce Pearl brings 2nd Annual Fore The Children Golf Classic back to Alexander City By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

Auburn University men’s basketball Coach Bruce Pearl will bring his support to Alexander City on Monday. Pearl will host his 2nd Annual Fore The Children Golf Classic on Monday at Willow Point Golf and Country Club in Alexander City. The tournament is a fundraiser that supports Children’s Harbor. “My wife Brandy and I are very excited about continuing the partnership we began last year with Children’s Harbor,” Pearl said in a press release. “Helping children and their families with serious illnesses is something very near and dear to our hearts and something that we have a great passion for. It is my hope that our Fore the Children Golf Classic has and will continue to help ease the burdens of many families in need.” Tammy Jackson, Children’s Harbor Director of Fund Development and Community Relations South Alabama, said the fundraiser will kick off with a dinner and auction at Pearl’s home in Auburn. “Sunday, all the golfers and the sponsors are invited to Coach and Brandy’s house for dinner, which is how we’ll kick it off,” Jackson said. “Then on Monday is the tournament with registration at 8:30 a.m. with a shotgun start at 10 a.m.” Jackson said the funds provide free camp for seriously ill children and their families. More than 4,000 camp-

ers attend camp at Children’s Harbor each year. “The money comes to us. Coach Pearl does this event to support us and our partners here at Children’s Harbor,” Jackson said. “We try to share the love with our camp partners. This year, we have 30 golf teams registered. The sponsors have stepped up and taken care of everything. It’s going to be an over-the-top event.” Last year’s inaugural event raised $258,345 for Children’s Harbor. Jackson said that total exceeded expectations, adding that Children’s Harbor is thankful for Pearl and his family’s support. “We’ve never had anyone of celebrity status to come and want to do something like this for us, so this is just amazing that he chose us when he came to Alabama and wanted to connect with a charity,” Jackson said. “He called us and said ‘how about I do a golf tournament for you?’ His goal last year was about $100,000, and he raised more than $230,000 for us. This year is shaping up to be an even bigger year for us.” She said she believes Pearl will exceed the five-year goal he set of raising $1 million for Children’s Harbor. “He said his long-term goal is to raise $1 million for Children’s Harbor in five years, and based on the money he raised last year and what he’s looking to raise this year, he’ll probably do it in four years,” Jackson said.
