Costumes are still available at area stores for those who do not wish make their own like these from 40 years ago.

f you know me personally, you know I have a serious sweet tooth. I also enjoy giving fellow sweet tooth folks their fix. Ask anyone at The Outlook office; they all swing by and grab candy out of the huge bowl that sits on my desk. Trick-or-treating for Halloween was something I looked forward to every year as a child and now I get to be the old geezer sitting on the porch giving candy to the neighborhood kids in their costumes. Life comes full circle.

Sorry in advance to the parents in my neighborhood — I got boatload of candy Monday night at Walmart. Get ready for the sugar rush.

Here’s a commentary on my 10 favorite types of candy. It’s mostly chocolate, so be warned.

Renew Our Rivers cleanup coming up

AC schools to interview Cooper replacement

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Water levels might change where the trash is collected this weekend for the Renew Our Rivers annual cleanup, but not the mission.

John Thompson and the Lake Martin Resource Association have been helping Alabama Power organize the cleanup for the last 15 years. This will be the 16th year and Thompson says it will be a little different.

The Alexander City Board of Education is finalizing a schedule to interview five finalists to replace the retiring superintendent Dr. Darryl Cooper next week.

Dr. Terry Jenkins of the Alabama Association of School Boards is assisting the Alexander City Board of Education in the search and was surprised with the number of people interested in the position.

“Early in the search, I said I was concerned doing

Trash is backed up into a cove on Lake Martin. The Renew Our Rivers cleanup hopes to reach some places on the upper end of the lake that have not been cleaned up in previous years.

DEAR ABBY: I’m in middle school. “Jill” has been my best friend for 11 years. She has always been shy, while I am outgoing. Recently, she has been hanging out with the class “ho,” “Kelly,” and I’m being more and more left out.

Kelly is turning Jill into a slut, too. Jill isn’t excited to hang with me anymore and prefers to be with Kelly’s friends smoking or drinking.

Jill still calls us best friends, but I’m afraid she’ll betray me and tell Kelly everything we talk about. We used to make fun of Kelly for being a slut.

Now I feel like I can’t open up to my best friend. It hurts to see them together and not inviting me to things. What do I do? -- TOTALLY LEFT OUT DEAR LEFT OUT: Calling a girl a slut or a “ho” is a form of bullying. It won’t bring Jill back to you or closer to you. In fact, it will likely do the opposite.

Because you feel you are no longer as close to Jill as

DEAR ABBY Advice

you were, recognize that it’s time to widen your circle of friends and explore activities that do not involve her or Kelly.

The more friends you make, the less dependent you will be on one person.

DEAR ABBY: What does it say about a man when he won’t accept a friend request on Facebook from his wife of 20 years?

He has been unfaithful in the past. He has several hundred friends on there from all over the country as he travels a lot. But he not only refuses to accept my request, he also refuses to say why.

I’m new to Facebook; he

has been on for years. I don’t have many friends because I’ve been pretty isolated, and now I want to reconnect. But if my own husband won’t accept my friend request, should I even bother trying to friend anyone else? Oh, and if I friend any of my old male friends, he’ll accuse ME of cheating, even though that’s his thing, not mine. -- NO FOLLOWERS IN THE WEST DEAR NO FOLLOWERS: Following your husband on Facebook is the least of your problems. You already know he is secretive and has cheated on you. If you feel isolated, you have the right to reach out to anyone your heart desires, whether they’re male or female.

Oh, and one more thing. If he accuses you of cheating, it may be because he has or is. Do you really need me to tell you that if you’re unhappy you need to talk with a licensed therapist about it?

Please consider it.

DEAR ABBY: Is it considered rude to stretch in public? -- STEPHANIE IN SALT LAKE CITY DEAR STEPHANIE: I suppose it depends upon what someone is stretching. If it attracts attention or causes distraction, I suppose it is rude, but I wouldn’t consider it a social transgression worthy of incarceration.

A NOTE TO PARENTS OF YOUNG CHILDREN: If your little ones will be out trickor-treating tonight, please be sure they are supervised to assure their safety.

Ewing is excited about Wednesday night having already started to accumulate candy to give out to children.

in bound volumes and one can find evidence of ghouls and goblins stopping by the Cherokee Road office.

The Outlook staff just loves visits from Batman and Robin, Harry Potter, witches and ghosts as well as those dressing as their favorite superhero, first responder or military hero.

“I am elated,” Ewing said.

“I can’t wait to see what characters come to see us.”

Over the years the costumes coming to visit the paper have changed some.

Forty years ago The Outlook was visited by a little 6-month old devil and scarecrow along with bunnies, star troopers, Darth Vader, Spiderman, princesses, ghosts and witches.

Thirty years ago we saw an

invasion of a tribe of Draculas, clowns, football players and witches.

Costumes may change over the years, but not the people.

Everyone who stops by is like family. You are the ones who make us a community newspaper. We lean on you to allow us to tell your stories day in and day out. Without you, there would be no Outlook.

Again this year we have asked for you to come by our office to have your picture made. There will have some candy too and friendly smiles and shrills to share as well.

Your photos will be printed in the paper in the coming days and they are also available for purchase as well.

The Outlook will be welcoming ghosts, ghouls and goblins from 4 to 6 p.m.

10. Hershey’s cookies and cream. This was the first white chocolate my mom convinced me to eat and I have never stopped. Now, lots of candy is available in white chocolate form, but this will always be my favorite.

9. Laffy Taffy. The actual candy is so-so, but wrappers have provided some truly hilarious jokes through the years.

8. Hershey’s dark chocolate. My mom loves dark chocolate so my siblings and I had to watch out for her getting into our Halloween candy supply.

However, if we were feeling sweet, we would always just go ahead and give her all of our dark chocolate.

7. Nerds. This box of crystalized sugar covered in a tangy coating is one of the two sour candies I will actually eat. I was always angling and trading with my siblings to get all the Nerds for myself.

6. Crunch bars. This candy is like a chocolate covered Rice Krispie treat that went heavy on the chocolate. Nestlé did the right thing making this crunchy chocolate. This is a longtime staple of any variety candy bag and has been given to trick-ortreaters for a very long time.

5. Sour gummy

worms. This is the other sour candy I love eating. I still pick these wiggly little guys at gas stations while on road trips. They were rare to get while trick-ortreating, but it happened once or twice.

4. Twizzlers. You west coast folks might be familiar with Red Vines, but around these parts, Twizzlers are king.

The one-piece packaging made a lot of wrappers to throw in the trash, but it was so worth it for the deliciousness of these wonderful candies.

3. Reese’s Pieces. These weren’t around when I went trick-or-treating, but they are one of my favorite candies and absolutely worth mentioning. I can eat handfuls of these at a time. These are also great mixed in with very buttery popcorn.

2. Peanut Butter M&Ms. Mars took the Reese’s Pieces and made it better: more peanut butter filling, same yummy chocolate shell. You can almost always find a bag of these in my kitchen cabinet.

1. Reese’s. Peanut butter and chocolate are a match made in Heaven. Reese’s Cups are my very favorite candy. Have you noticed a theme in the top three of this list yet?

Quote

Our View

The dog that trots about finds a bone.”

— Golda Meir

Be safe this Halloween

Today’s

Scripture

H

alloween is one of the most exciting times of the year for children.

From dressing up in the best costume ever, to going door to door for enough candy to last through the new year, there are few things more fun than Halloween night.

While there is certainly no shortage of fun to be had throughout the night tonight, we also need to be responsible and exercise caution along with our excitement.

Local law enforcement officials shared advice with the public in Tuesday’s paper, all about making sure everyone taking part in the Halloween festivities stays safe as they trick-or-treat, visit fall festivals or enjoy a Halloween party.

These tips cannot be stated enough. Check your candy.

Only visit houses you know.

Make sure you are visible when walking around outside. Watch for traffic as you cross the street.

These are valuable pieces of advice, all designed to keep a night of fun from turning into a true night of horror.

The recommended times for trick-or-treating in Alexander City are from 5 until 8 p.m. and 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. in Dadeville. The Alexander City Police Department will be handing out candy for as long as supplies last, the Dadeville Public Library will be hosting games throughout the evening and a multitude of churches will be having events of their own. These events offer a great alternative to going from house to house, neighborhood to neighborhood in search of candy, and virtually all of them are offered at no cost to participants.

If we remember the advice from local law enforcement officials, we can all make the most of our Halloween night.

By knowing how to stay safe and taking advantage of public places offering their events, tonight can be a fun and enjoyable time for everyone.

Daily Poll

T

General Election next week

his time two years ago, I was bubbling over with anticipation with expectations that I would have two years of fun following an exciting governor’s race. Well, ole Robert Bentley spoiled my parade.

Back in the old days, governors could not succeed themselves. They were governor for one four-year term and then you were out. That means we had a governor’s race every four years and man would they be doozies. We would have 10 candidates, about half of them would be “run for the fun of it” candidates. The most colorful would be Shorty Price.

However, there would be 3 to 4 viable candidates.

These handful of bigtime candidates would fight it out for a place in the runoff. It would be for a place in the Democratic runoff. In bygone days the Democratic Primary nomination was tantamount to election.

Today, it is just the other way around. Nowadays winning the Republican primary is tantamount to election in the good ole Heart of Dixie. The more things change the more they stay the same in Alabama politics. Boy, when we change, we really change. We were a oneparty state then and we are a one-party state now.

When Kay Ivey won the GOP mantle back in June, she essentially won the governor’s race.

By the way, she won her Republican primary impressively, 56 to 44.

Ironically, she is poised to win the General Election by about the same margin. She will win next Tuesday because she is the Republican nominee.

When Bentley left office early in disgrace that

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist allowed Kay to ascend from lt. governor to governor. She was wise and politically savvy enough to not rock the boat. She has surrounded herself with good people and has run an excellent campaign. As the quasi incumbent she has been able to look very gubernatorial. Her mature, grandmotherly appearance and demeanor have actually been an asset rather than a deterrent. Most folks who vote are older and look a lot like Kay. She has done an exemplary job of not saying anything about pertinent issues or debating. Her handlers knew how to take advantage of incumbency and show her cutting ribbons and kissing babies. Kay has been around awhile. She cut her political teeth campaigning for the Wallaces, George and Lurleen. Her subtle message was, I’m the conservative female Republican candidate. In the primary, she ran on a platform of saving the Confederate monuments.

In the fall, she ran an ad with school children and of course, contrary to the demographics of today’s Alabama classroom, all the school children were little white girls. The Wallaces would have been proud of Kay. Walt Maddox, the dynamic Democratic nominee for governor, is the best candidate that the Democrats have fielded in more than two decades.

He is bright, articulate, energetic, and well qualified having served as mayor of Tuscaloosa for

more than 10 years. He has run an excellent campaign.

He has raised good money, primarily from grassroot Alabamians. However, he is a real card-carrying Democrat. If the polls had shown he was closing in, Kay’s folks would have played the ace of all race cards. Walt supported and voted for Barack Obama.

Kay will beat Walt because she is the Republican nominee and he is the Democratic nominee.

The two rising political stars in the state, John Merrill and Will Ainsworth will win their races for secretary of state and lt. governor, overwhelmingly.

They will be vying to see which one is the top vote getter on the ballot.

These two may also be vying to be the Republican to take out Doug Jones in 2020. Whoever is the Republican nominee will beat our anomaly Democratic Senator. Mr. Jones sealed his fate by gleefully voting against Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation. We have essentially ceded our second seat in the Senate to California. Doug Jones and Dianne Feinstein are in the same boat philosophically and with their voting.

There may be one Democratic surprise next week. Longtime conservative Democratic lawmaker, Johnny Mack Morrow, may pull off an upset victory over a Republican incumbent in a Northwest Alabama State Senate race.

Y’all vote Tuesday.

See you next week.

The Outlook

Chit-Chatters enjoy lunch in Rockford at Triple RRR H appy Birthday to Janice Cason of Alex City on Nov. 5. This is also Guy Fawkes Day in Britain. It is a bonfire evening with fireworks in celebrating Mr. Fawkes’ failed gunpowder plot to blow up the House of Parliament along the River Thames.

The Chit-Chatters ladies lunching group met this last Thursday at Triple RRR Caf« in Rockford.

Anyone who enjoys country cooking loves the food there. We saw Ed Oliver who is running for House District 81, who kindly gave us ladies all a t-shirt. It was good showing for a dreary rainy day. Those attending were:

I

had to go to town one day last week to run some errands. Before heading back, Lucy asked me to stop by and pick her up a hippy pizza. Seriously, if it’s not loaded with sausage, pepperoni, and cheese – lots of cheese – it’s a hippy pizza in my book.

I had leftover BBQ from a gig the night before.

That gig was for the “Dream Team” celebration at Journey Church in Eva, Alabama. Yep, Eva, Alabama. That’s when you know you’ve made it in this business. Eva is a wonderful little community north of Birmingham. I

ROSIE MORGAN Columnist

Yvonne Myers, Lynda Moseley, Sue Pemberton Best, Janice Moses, Jackie Dean, Rachel Fuller, Carla Luck, Betty House, Carole Kenney, Sharon Coffman and Rosie Morgan. Sweet Andrea Hanson stopped by to say hello to all.

We all enjoyed the food and I heard the ribs served were splendiferous. We all got such a lovely treat, usually when we eat in Rockford, Probate Judge Richard Dean stops by

to speak to us and often enjoys lunch there but had a conflicting meeting, sending word via his sweet wife Jackie our dessert was on him. What a kind gesture, buying us all a sweet finish. Some had a very special and delicious pecan fried pie, a treat indeed. They might not be on the menu, but if you ask the owner, he’ll fry some up in just a few minutes.

They are well worth the wait.

Chit Chatters do not meet in November due to the business of Thanksgiving and food preparation. The group will meet Thursday, Dec. 6 at Coaches Corner in Wetumpka for our

Christmas meeting. Join us at 11 a.m. and bring your wrapped Dirty Santa $10 gift. It’s always fun.

Good to see Jackie Dean back from Milwaukee.

She was there to visit with family for the memorial service honoring her father who passed away recently.

She enjoyed seeing the family.

The Kickin’ Chicken in Eclectic has closed. The owners have retired and will be missed. It was a popular local eatery.

Grandparents of Jennifer Bell, Bill and Betty House of Equality are so proud.

Jennifer is currently attending Georgia Tech for mechanical engineering and recently got into

the top three running for the Face of Infiniti competition. I drive a 2005 Infiniti G35 and it’s a fantastic car that I hope to drive until it falls apart.

Oops, better be careful what I say.

Equality got culture and will again have agriculture soon. EPAC had an outstanding music program last Friday evening.

Accomplished pianist and vocalist Skye Jenkins brought a true taste of culture with classical pieces by such great composers as Beethoven, Schubert and Chopin. She also played and sang favorite hymns, and delighted ‘babyboomers’ with 60s and 70s classics from the likes of

James Taylor, and others.

The EPAC property recently changed ownership and the new owners, Rodger Williamson and Jennifer Childers will continue to grace the community with a variety of entertainment usually set on 4th Fridays, excluding December; but including November 16th; all on Main Street, Equality. More on that later.

Until next week, keep smiling.

Rosie

Morgan is a community columnist for the Outlook.

She writes about the events and people of the Equality and Nixburg areas.

I love my state – Alabama JODY FULLER Columnist really had a great time and was blessed to be with such a devoted group of people.

They asked if I wanted to take home a plate. Of course, I did. It was a no-brainer. They actually prepared three full to-go boxes for me. One was filled with smoked chicken and the other two were jampacked with mac-n-cheese and baked beans. It was so

much that I’m still eating on it. Oh, there was a fourth box, too. Cupcakes. They are gone. All of them.

There are so many neat little communities all over our great state similar to Eva. On the surface, many of them are just a church or two, a four-way stop and a Dollar General, but they are so much more.

They are quaint, tight-knit communities with a love for life, the land and for the Lord. I’ve been fortunate to go run my mouth in a lot of them.

I love our state, which is why it was such an honor to be selected by

Alabama Magazine as one of the “top 40 men and women over the age of 40 whose lives and careers are characterized by great levels of giving and achievement.” For me to have been chosen, they likely only had about thirty some-odd submissions, but the list was quite impressive. Nick Saban even made it.

While waiting on my pizza, I decided to walk around Winn-Dixie with Abigail in my arms. I like to show her off when I can.

She’s my baby and I’m super proud of her. I used to go to Winn-Dixie twice a

day. We lived rather close.

It seemed that I saw Mrs. Buda, my fourth-grade teacher, just about every time I went. I wondered if I’d see her. She always comments on Abby’s pictures on Facebook.

While roaming the store, I figured I’d check the magazine rack to see if the November/ December issue of Alabama Magazine had hit the shelves.

Much to my delight, it had. I quickly turned the pages to see my ugly mug amongst Lieutenant General Anthony Cotton of Maxwell AFB and country music singer Sarah Evans.

I picked it up and showed it to a friend I saw in the store. I was excited. I wanted to show it off, so I bought it. The cashier stuck it in a bag. I then proceeded over to pick up the hippy pizza.

After paying for the Florentine pizza, I walked out the door and quickly realized I’d misplaced my all-important magazine.

What in the world did I do with it? I looked on the ground, but it was nowhere to be found. I went back inside. I assumed it was laying on the counter, but it was not. The pizza girl said she hadn’t seen a magazine.

Had I lost my mind?

If you know me personally, don’t answer that. Like my homework in Mrs. Buda’s class, it was nowhere to be found. Did the dog eat it? Where the heck was it?

I walked out the door and turned back around to think. When I did, I saw my reflection in the window, as well as the bag with the magazine that was around my right wrist on the arm in which I was holding Abigail. That was embarrassing, but at least I had my magazine in hand – or, in this case, on hand.

Go out and pick up that magazine. We have some many talented people in our state and most of them are people like me – just normal people that most have never heard of just doing the best they can to make a difference.

Oh, and if you’re wondering, yes, we did see Mrs. Buda. I love that lady.

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Think big, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t negate any possibilities. Halloween mischief might run through your day. Someone makes you rethink your connection, and he or she seems to know no limits to his or her pushing. Give yourself some time before you Ă&#x201E;nalize any decisions. Tonight: All smiles.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might Ă&#x201E;nd yourself fussing over some issues that you thought were settled quite a while ago. As you might be upset, you could act unpredictably and shock others.

Do you really want to shake up the status quo? Perhaps waiting a day would be smart. Tonight: Happy at home.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are building an even closer connection with a friend or neighbor.

Perhaps you have decided to handle Halloween together or approach the nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happenings as a team.

In any case, you will feel closer to each other than you have in a while.

Tonight: Let it all hang out.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your sensitive side could emerge at the last minute. You might need to run oÉ&#x2C6; and pick up some more Halloween goodies before elves and witches drop in on you. You could be content as well as amused with the imaginative nature of the day.

Tonight: Share your treats!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You love to get lots of attention. If you are involved in Halloween happenings, no matter what your role, you will do what you do well. A boss or someone you look up to becomes most unpredictable. Listen to what is being shared more openly. Tonight: Let the good times roll.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Decide how much is too much.

Your sense of humor emerges when taking a look around. You appreciate the eÉ&#x2C6;orts that others make to be in sync with the holiday spirit. Embrace trick-or-treaters and/or the various types of get-togethers that pop up.

Tonight: Enjoy the night!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You enjoy others in general. You also could be quite Ă&#x2026;attered, as someone might turn up as your secret admirer. People notice your upbeat and festive spirit, and will want to be closer to you. As a result, you will delight in the moment. Tonight: Be where the crowds are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) The mystery of someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costume intrigues you. Actually, much about this person intrigues you. You believe you might know who this secretive and well-costumed person is, so be ready to reveal your guess when asked. Tonight: Cupidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrow might head your way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Reach out to a friend or loved one whom you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t often get to see.

The conversations between you always reĂ&#x2026;ect where each of you is coming from. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also typically amusing. Give in to impulsiveness, and make plans to get together soon. Tonight: Let the party begin.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19) Defer to someone you care about. You might not be ready for everything that is happening. Still, you will make an adjustment and proceed down the right path. You will Ă&#x201E;nd that a loved one acts more unpredictably than usual. Tonight: Go with a close friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oÉ&#x2C6;er.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others are unusually demonstrative and caring. How you handle a personal matter could radically change because of someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perception of you. You can openly ask for help and expect to receive it. Two heads work better than one.

Tonight: Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to an invitation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Pace yourself, as it appears that many people are seeking you out for advice and feedback. You might be Ă&#x2026;attered by all the attention and respect. Know that you deserve it. Still, at times you could feel overwhelmed and out of control.

Tonight: Surprises seem to surround you.

Jim Pearson hosts annual pre-K fall festival

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

Excitement filled the air Tuesday morning at Jim Pearson Elementary School as the four pre-K classrooms participated in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual fall festival for the preschool students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, it was a little bit bigger than what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had support from the community,â&#x20AC;? pre-K auxiliary teacher April Yarbrough said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to take place unless we had the support from our community, our principal (Jamie) Forbus, our director Ms. Barbara Thompson, the rest of our pre-K staff and the parents and volunteers.â&#x20AC;?

There were games for the children, including a ring toss and a ball toss, a face-painting station, a hayride and even a special pumpkin patch in front of the school for the students to pick out their perfect pumpkin. As the hayride made its way down the road leading to the back of the Jim Pearson campus, the students on the playground next to the kindergarten building would yell and wave at the students on the ride, while those taking the relaxing trip yelled and waved back at their fellow preschoolers.

Once at the pumpkin patch, the children found the pumpkin they loved the best for decorating, while Yarbrough said her grandmother was on hand to pass out small bags of candy to the children after they made their pumpkin pick.

Yarbrough wanted to thank some of the many business sponsors that helped make Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event possible, including Eddie and Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Car Wash, the Palmer Insurance Agency, Big B Barbecue, Alexander City Vet Clinic and Russell Lands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just had a lot of people come together to make this happen for these kids,â&#x20AC;? Yarbrough said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just about seeing them happy and five, six years down the road from now, we want them to look back and remember this. Every single one of them has a smile on their face today, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all worth it. It truly is a happy time for them.â&#x20AC;?

‘SOAK IT ALL UP’ Howard qualifies for

Golden era of baseball is on US national swim team the horizon A

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

uburn and Alabama took this past weekend off enjoying a much-needed bye to gather themselves for the final stretch. I’ve decided to take advantage of the off week as well, briefly detouring from the college football pathway.

The Boston Red Sox won the ninth World Series title of their illustrious history Sunday night defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers four games to one. The Sox won five titles in the early 1900s (’03, ’12, ’15, ’16, ’18) then decided to take an 85-year hiatus before winning another championship in 2004.

As everyone knows, Boston won three World Series in four seasons before deciding to sell a young superstar by the name of George Herman Ruth Jr. (a.k.a. Babe) to the rival Yankees for $100,000 in early 1920. Since that infamous transaction, the Yankees have gone on to win 40 American League pennants and 27 World Series titles.

The Curse of the Bambino was finally broken when Boston swept the St. Louis Cardinals to become champions again in 2004.

The Red Sox have now won four World Series titles in the last 15 years. The Yankees have won one. Perhaps the curse has been reversed?

Boston was the best team in baseball this year from start to finish and the Sox proved it on a nightly basis. They have a powerful lineup from top to bottom and the bullpen in the postseason was incredible.

The Red Sox have a tremendous amount of young talent with just the right amount of veteran presence sprinkled in the mix. They have all the makings of a dynasty. However, most of the pundits said the same thing about the Houston Astros just last year. And they said the same thing about the Chicago Cubs the year before that.

All three teams have powerful lineups, great pitching and a healthy supply of young talent. That’s why Major League Baseball has to be so excited about the future right now.

We very well could be entering a “golden era” of baseball with so many high profile young stars and so many competitive teams. It remains to be seen if commissioner Rob Manfred is the right caretaker, but with some strong leadership and savvy marketing I believe baseball could see a resurgence in fan popularity.

Let’s face it, baseball is never going to overtake football and be “America’s pastime” again, but it could win back some old fans and ensnare a whole new generation.

As I said, the Red Sox aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, but neither are the Houston Astros. The Yankees have a modern day “bash brothers” with Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton and have put together a very impressive lineup around them. The Cleveland Indians were one game away from winning the World Series in 2016. They’ll continue to be a factor in the less than stellar AL Central.

In the National League, the Chicago Cubs broke their own curse and won the World Series two years ago. They have a strong foundation and will be contenders for the foreseeable future. The Dodgers have been to the World Series the last two seasons and will bring back one of the most dangerous lineups in the NL next year. Of course, the Braves, Brewers, Rockies and Cardinals are only a few players away from contending for World Series championships as well.

If you’re not a baseball fan or gave up on the sport a while back, now’s the perfect time to fall in love or fall in love again.

Andy Graham is a regular columnist for The Outlook.

Just a few years ago, Robert Howard was in Alexander City trying to figure out how to have a successful athletic career as a swimmer despite Benjamin Russell not having a team.

Howard more than achieved that goal, as he now swims for the University of Alabama and has been named SEC Swimmer of the Week twice in a row. On top of that, he currently holds the No. 1 time in the nation in the 50-yard freestyle.

Despite all that, Howard hasn’t stopped wanting to climb the ladder of swimming.

This time last year, Howard was talking about his dream of one day swimming in the Olympics.

This week, that dream got one step closer as Howard was named to the United States National Team and will compete in the World University Games in the summer of 2019.

“This is definitely a great stepping stone,” Howard said. “Not many people just show up in 2020 and make the Olympic team without having some sort of international experience.

This is something I need to get under my belt. At least I get this one chance, if nothing else. That helps me in terms of knowing it’s not all or nothing.”

According to Howard, he swam in a selection meet this past summer in Irvine, California. The selection meet allowed swimmers to qualify for the Pan Pacific Games, the World Championships in 2019 and the World University Team in 2018. At the meet, Howard placed 11th in the 100 freestyle, which was good enough to earn him a spot on the relay team for the World University Games.

“There’s a swimming website that had projections, and for a while the selection was really complicated,”

Courtesy / UA Athletics

Alexander City native Robert Howard, who now swims for the University of Alabama, was named to the United States team to compete in the World University Games next summer. Howard currently holds the fastest time in the NCAA in the 50 freestyle.

Howard said. “For a while, I wasn’t on it, but they took results from another meet and I got pushed into one of the spots. It was stressful for a while right after the meet then I had to not think about it. They said they were going to announce it before Oct. 31, so I knew it was out of my control.

“Then I got the email, and it was really exciting. It was like a sigh of relief.”

Howard, who is now a senior at UA, has been quickly climbing the ranks of freestyle swimming. He had a 100-meter freestyle victory at the U.S. Open in the summer of 2017, then this summer, he broke Alabama’s school record for in the event, which was previously held by two-time Olympian Kristian Gkolomeev.

“We’re very excited for Robert,” UA coach Dennis Pursley said in a release.

“Any time you get the chance to represent your country in international competition, it’s a great honor and a tremendous opportunity. He’s just gotten better and better as he’s gone along and we’re very proud of everything he’s accomplished.”

Tuesday, it was announced Howard earned the honor of SEC Swimmer of the Week for the second consecutive week. He remains undefeated, both individually

and on relays, this season.

He had a four-victory performance in Tennessee on Friday, including posting a 19.65 time in the 50 freestyle for the top spot in the NCAA. Howard is also a member of the fastest 400 relay team in the nation. He anchored the race with a 100 freestyle, and his split is also currently the best in the country.

The World University Games will be held in July 2019 in Naples, Italy, and although Howard is competing in only relays, he said he’s excited for the experience.

“I just want to soak it all up, the experience of it all,” Howard said. “Two years ago at this meet, two

of my teammates went for the Netherlands and South Africa, and they talked about how fun it was. I swim on the first day then after that I’m done. I’ll be getting ready for nationals, so I’ll still be training and getting ready, but I’m excited to be a cheerleader for our country’s team.”

And all that is coming from an Alex City native who didn’t even have a high school team to compete with.

“The advice I have is don’t let being from Alex City stop you from achieving your dreams,” Howard said.

“I’m not saying Alex City is bad at all, but there’s not as many opportunities. But if I can do it and I’m from Alex City, anyone can do it.”

a superintendent search this time of year,” Jenkins told the board Monday night. “You ended up with 69 people who initiated the application process to be superintendent of Alexander City.”

Jenkins explained interest in the position came from far and wide. Applicants came from 16 states. Thirty two came from Alabama, one from Arizona, four from Florida, nine from Georgia, two from Indiana, one from Kentucky, one from Louisiana, one from Michigan, one from Mississippi, one from New Jersey, one from New York, three from Pennsylvania, two from South Carolina, five from Tennessee, two from Texas and one from Virginia.

Fourteen have experience as superintendent.

“In all the searches I have done, that is the second highest number of applicants I have seen in any search,” Jenkins said. “We are very pleased.”

Jenkins said he thought initially this time of year would be tough because many potential applicants are under contract already for the school year. He also said the highest number of applicants he has seen a search he helped conduct was 71 for Huntsville.

Jenkins said three of the finalists have experience as superintendent and two are aspiring to be one.

“You made it clear early in the process you would like to see some of both,” Jenkins said to the board. “These candidates all come from the data from the surveys and meetings we held. All have served as educators, past and present.”

Before presenting the finalists to the board and public at the Monday work session, Jenkins warned board members about where and how the get information on the candidates.

“I would caution you in the world we live in today with social media, anybody that has served as superintendent has supporters and critics,” Jenkins said. “As you get into the process, we have to look at those things. Social media can particularly if you make a difficult decision, it can explode.”

The finalists will come to Alexander City for a full day of tours, interviews and speaking with staff, students and the public.

The candidates will even eat lunch from various school cafeterias as they tour the schools. The candidates will be available to the public individually 4:30 to 5 p.m. each day at the board of education office as they are scheduled for interviews.

Jenkins told the board background checks have already been conducted and the attorney who conducted them is available to answer questions.

Jenkins give final guidance on the interview process.

“We strongly recommend you interview all five of the candidates,” he said. “We strongly recommend you use the same questions for all five candidates. The reason for that is candidate one and two come in and get surprised because they don’t know

the questions. Candidates three, four and five will know every question you will ask.”

Jenkins suggested developing questions and distributing them to the candidates before the first candidate gets to town.

“It keeps them on the same playing field,” Jenkins said. “You as a board when you ask the questions, depending on how they answer, can spin off and ask other things. To compare apples to apples, you need to ask the same basic questions of everyone.”

Jenkins said this search by the Alabama Association of School Boards is not to bring forward only the next superintendent.

“We do not want the community to think we select your superintendent, that is your job,” Jenkins said. “We are just bringing the candidates to you. If you are not happy with them we will bring you some more. We think you will be.”

Jenkins presented five finalists to the board.

• Dr. Jason F. Adkins was most recently the superintendent of the Walker County Board of Education. Adkins has served as superintendent since 2011. He has served as a high school principal, assistant high school principal and teacher. He has been in education since 1996.

• Dr. Johnny C. Berry III is currently a high school principal at Decatur City Schools, a position he has held since 2016. He has also served as a middle school principal, athletic director, guidance counselor and teacher. He has been in education since 1993.

• Mr. Daniel K. Lankford is currently the deputy superintendent of operations at the Mobile County Board of Education. He has served as superintendent at Sheffield City Schools and has been an elementary school principal, assistant principal and teacher.

He has also served in the Alabama Army National Guard. He has been in education since 1998.

• Dr. James D. Martin III was recently the superintendent of education at Harris County Schools in Georgia. He also served as superintendent as Chattahoochee County Schools in Georgia. He has served as a high school principal, instructor at Troy University, middle school principal in Coosa County and Thomasville City Schools and as band director in Lee County and at the Fort Benning Dependent Schools.

He has been in education since 1989.

• Dr. Beverly P. Price is currently director of secondary schools in Alexander City.

She has served as a middle school and elementary school principal, as a school improvement coach and as a teacher in Tallapoosa County Schools. She has been in education since 1999.

The board has scheduled a work session for Thursday, Nov. 1 at 6 p.m. to go over last minute things for the interview process, but board president Michael Ransaw said there is high likelihood it will be canceled as very few questions remained.

Cleanup “The water is high,” Thompson said. “There is not a lot of beach to expose trash in areas allowing people to walk and pick it up. It can be done in some places, but you have to be careful.”

Thompson explained volunteers have already been cleaning up shorelines in the Camp ASCCA area.

“They have done really well,” Thompson said.

“They are storing it on an island at the moment.

There are hundreds of bags there now.”

The trash will be moved to a dumpster for the cleanup soon.

With the higher water

level hampering walking the beaches of Lake Martin at winter pool, Thompson wanted to suggest another idea that still fits in the mission of Renew Our Rivers.

“I am encouraging people to find roadsides to pick up,” Thompson said.

“The trash picked up there potentially could end up in the lake. What we have mainly been picking up has been plastic bottles and other litter that is found on roadsides. So get in your neighborhoods or anywhere you know there is trash and pick it up.”

The effort over the years has enabled more than 2,000 volunteers

to work together and remove nearly 100 tons of trash from the more than 800 miles of shorelines on Lake Martin. Most of this trash, including automobile and truck tires, beaded Styrofoam, glass bottles, plastic, aluminum and tin cans and empty compressed gas containers, had accumulated over many years ̽ since the dam was built, in some places ̽ and was not seen by most boaters.

This year dumpsters will be available for the trash from the cleanup at the Union and Kowaliga boat ramps along with volunteers and just a dumpster will be at the Coley Creek boat ramp to make it easier to get the trash from the Camp ASCCA area from the lake Nov. 2 and 3. A major effort is planned at Wind Creek State Park again and it also gets to the message of the cleanup.

“There will be a bunch of kids at Wind Creek,” Thompson said. “It sends a great message about keeping things cleaned up.

We will have pickers and garbage bags for them.”

The message with children has started and been reinforced at local schools, as well through the annual Water Festival and T-shirt contest for the cleanup. LMRA has sponsored an art contest for students at Stephens Elementary School.

Through those efforts the main design of the shirt of each clean up is obtained, further teaching children about the importance of water and keeping things clean.
