Oktoberfest set this weekend at Sportplex By Corey Arwood Outlook Staff Writer

File / The Outlook

Crowds walk through the Sportplex at last year’s Oktoberfest. This Saturday is the 35th year for the event with funnel cakes to Firetruck BBQ to other vendors on site.

Oktoberfest has ended in Germany but Alexander City’s has yet to begin, and this year the Parks and Recreation department says there will be another promising lineup of food and fun for everyone. This will be the 35th year for the area’s annual Oktoberfest. The Saturday event at the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex will bring back

crowd favorites and introduce new musical acts, as well as new vendors. “We offer a little bit of something for everybody,” said Jennifer Baker, program supervisor of Alex City Parks and Recreation. And, Baker said that she wants everyone to attend what is probably the biggest one-day event her department holds. She said that a lot of people attend just for the food, which will include all of the classic festival

Ruling could lead to casino reopening By Carmen Rodgers Outlook Staff Writer

It has been almost six years since Milton McGregor was forced to close the doors to VictoryLand in 2010. Then, in 2013 the state of Alabama seized over 1,600 electronic bingo machines form VictoryLand’s Quincy’s 777. Before the raid there had been debate over the legality of the electronic bingo machines, which resemble slot machines. Since the closing, the once popular venue has become isolated and desolate. Located at the Shorter exit, the massive empty buildings that once housed the largest gaming facility in the state now stands out like an empty oasis in the desert. The closure left thousands of people in Macon and surrounding counties without See CASINO, Page A5

faire, from funnel cakes and roasted corn to the local Firetruck BBQ. Others, Baker said, go for the vendors, of which there were over 100 at the 2014 Oktoberfest. She said that they are expecting at least that amount at this year’s event. “It’s a great event for the people in our community and also for the people outside of our community,” said Baker. She said that the event serves as an opportunity to show off the See FESTIVAL, Page A5

ARTISTIC RETREAT Art Colony draws participants from far and wide By Mia Osborn Outlook Staff Writer

Today marks the end of the 23rd annual Sarah Carlisle Towery Alabama Art Colony at Children’s Harbor. Fiftytwo artists from all over the Southeast gathered for the five-night event. Participants spend their nights in Children’s Harbor cabins and their days

sketching and painting with instructors who are expert artists in their own right. This year’s lineup of instructors included Julee Hutchison, Chicago-born oil painter whose work is currently on exhibit at the Telluride Gallery of Fine Art; Patt Odom, former head of the Visual Arts Department at Gulf Coast Community College; and Birmingham See ART, Page A6

Representatives of several unions and one disgruntled property owner showed up Monday night at the public comment meeting on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s draft environmental impact statement on the Hillabee Expansion and Sabal Trail portions of the Southeast Market Pipelines project. The Southeast Market Pipelines Project is a joint venture of Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Co.,LLC, Sabal Trail Transmission, LLC and Florida Southeast Connection, LLC. It would result in an expansion of the Transcontinental Pipeline, one of the nation’s largest. The Hillabee Expansion Project will increase the natural gas capacity of the existing portion of the pipeline that runs through Alabama. The project would also serve as a starting point for Sabal Trail Transmission’s project that would include a new compressor station and 500-mile pipeline running from near Brick Plant Road in Alexander City to Osceola County, Florida. The Hillabee Project would also include a new compressor station in Choctaw County, a 9.9-mile expansion of 42-inch pipe in Coosa County and a See FERC, Page A5

DEAR ABBY: I am happily married to a great man. I have a young daughter from a previous marriage, and my husband has two teenagers, a boy and girl, from a prior marriage. Like many blended families, we have our struggles, but one is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with. I don’t know how to put this tastefully, but I’ll state it this way: My stepchildren are “too close,” if you know what I mean. They flirt, constantly touch each other and playfully tease each other. (A few people have even mistaken them for a couple.) My husband doesn’t seem to notice this unhealthy behavior. How can I get through to my husband or deal with this? -- REPULSED IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR REPULSED: Was the relationship between your husband’s children making you uncomfortable before you married their

The family will receive friends in Stough Hall following the service. Mrs. Bates passed away on Monday, Oct. 5, 2015. She was born on Feb. 28, 1948, in Gadsden, Alabama, to Colonel Waldo Daniel and Lois Brannon Daniel, but Alexander City was home to her for more than 40 years. She loved all God’s children, which was evident in her ministry to the community and the church. Mrs. Bates was an elementary school teacher for 37 years and considered teaching God’s calling and part of her ministry. Making a difference in the lives of others was extremely important to her. Many community organizations benefited from her time, talents and treasure, including UAB –

father? If so, did you bring it to his attention at that time? Family relationships can vary, and because I haven’t witnessed what you have observed, I can’t advise you other than to suggest that family counseling might be in order to determine whether the kids have a normal sibling relationship or if it has gone over the line. DEAR ABBY: Last spring we helped our daughter’s longtime friend move out of the college dorm room she shared with our daughter. Her parents are divorced and weren’t available to help her move or give us money to help her, and she had The Cancer Center at RMC, St. James Episcopal Church, Meals on Wheels, Habitat for Humanity and Kairos prison ministry. She loved traveling the world, being outside and, most importantly, being a “Meme” to her three precious granddaughters. She is survived by her daughter, Megann Bates Cain (David) of Homewood; son, James Andrew Bates (Kim), of Opelika; granddaughters, Catherine Ellis Cain, Caroline Cain, and Lily Bates; and special cousins, James and Dell Mackey of East Gadsden and Novella and Mike Broom of Centre. She was preceded in death by her parents. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Meals on Wheels, P.O. Box 1344, Alexander City, AL 35011. Memorial messages may be sent to the family at www.radneyfuneralhome. com. Radney Funeral Home in Alexander Cityøis in charge of the arrangements.

just broken up with her boyfriend. We rented a van and offered to let her stay at our home as long as she helped pay for groceries and got a job. She got the job, but never helped pay for food or did anything around the house, including keeping her room clean. After two weeks, she and her boyfriend got back together, and she was spending every night with him at his parents’ house. She would return to our home to eat, wash clothes, shower and use the Internet. I finally had to tell her this was not acceptable, and that she needed to decide to either live here or move in with her boyfriend. She moved out. Now, it is uncomfortable when she comes around. I don’t feel I did anything wrong, but my daughter thinks I shouldn’t have made a big deal out of her sleep-

ing at her boyfriend’s house and using our house as a place to park her stuff, eat and wash her clothes. What do you think? -- NO TIME FOR FREELOADERS DEAR NO TIME: You were generous to be as supportive as you were of your daughter’s former roommate. This has nothing to do with her sleeping at her boyfriend’s. You asked only that she behave like an adult and contribute by paying for her food and keeping her room clean. She didn’t keep her part of the bargain. You shouldn’t feel uncomfortable; she should, for not behaving responsibly.

Shelby’s risk has paid dividends for Alabama

n 1986 Richard Shelby was a 50-year-old congressman from Tuscaloosa. He was elected to congress eight years earlier, after two successful four-year terms in the Alabama State Senate. However, Shelby was ready to move up again. He was planning to run for the United States Senate. Shelby had never lost a political race. He was six for six in races to represent his beloved Tuscaloosa and the people of West Alabama. He was a conservative Democrat, who had a stellar conservative voting record. He was safe in his U.S. House seat. In fact, it appeared that the congressional seat was his for life. His decision to challenge an incumbent U.S. Senator was a gamble. Shelby’s friends cautioned him that a race for the U.S. Senate against an incumbent would be an uphill battle and he should not risk his safe congressional seat. However, Shelby was undeterred in his decision. One factor that the average political observer was not aware of was that Shelby probably sensed that his congressional district was destined to be the first African American district after reapportionment in 1990. The tea leaves were correct. That is what happened to Shelby’s 7th district. Although it would be a daunting task to upset an incumbent U.S. Senator, Jeremiah Denton had written the book on how to lose a Senate seat during his six-year term. Denton was elected

STEVE FLOWERS Guest Columnist

as Alabama’s first Republican senator since Reconstruction in 1980. He had been swept into office on the coattails of Ronald Reagan, who carried Alabama in a landslide. Alabamians knew very little about Denton, except that he had been a naval officer and a well-known national POW in the Vietnam War. His patriotic POW position sold well in Alabama, especially with Reagan headed to the White House. Denton let it be known early that he wanted to be the moral police chief of the U.S. Senate. He clearly wanted to be the point man and most ardent voice for morality, chastity and anti-abortion issues. He was not interested in bringing home any bacon for Alabama or fixing any potholes. He actually bragged that he was a national U.S. Senator and not an Alabama U.S. Senator, thus openly signaling that we would only have one U.S. Senator, Howell Heflin, to fight for our interests in Washington. The examples of constituent neglect and disinterest by Denton are too numerous to recant, but a few examples will give you an idea of his cavalier attitude toward reelection. Each year the Alabama Farmers Federation sends an entourage of 200 to 300 of the most prominent farmers in the state to

meet with and lobby their senators and congressmen on federal issues affecting farmers. These men are the most respected leaders and centers of influence in their counties. Heflin and the other congressmen literally met them at the airport to court them. They would have breakfast and dinner with them. However, these farmers had to have an appointment with our “National Senator” Denton. They arrived at his office at the appointed time. All 300 of them were kept waiting 2 1/2 hours, then an aide came out to tell them that Denton was too busy dealing with national issues and did not have time to meet with them. One of the wealthiest and most prominent men in the state called Denton six times to simply express his opinion on an issue. Denton is yet to call him back. Thus, he vowed to give Denton’s opponent all the money he needed to beat Denton. In addition to not returning phone calls, Denton never answered letters from constituents,

even heartfelt handwritten notes of interest on federal legislation. He was basically considered a nut in Washington and was consistently ranked the most ineffective senator in the 100-member Senate. He made colossal blunders in the 1986 campaign. He said he was too busy to come home and campaign and kiss babies. Shelby beat Denton but it was close. Shelby had to spend some of his personal money the last week of the campaign to carry out the upset. Alabama has been the better for Richard Shelby’s 1986 gamble. He has been our Senator for 30 years, having been reelected in 1992, 1998, 2004, and 2010. He will be easily reelected to a 6th sixyear term next year. See you next week.

jobs. This; however, could soon change. On Friday, Judge William Shashy handed down an order stating that the state of Alabama must return the gaming machines as well as $260,000 that were seized within 45 days unless the state takes action to close the other six gaming facilities currently operating in the state. “Macon County voters overwhelmingly approved electronic bingo in 2003 to secure muchneeded jobs, economic growth and resources for their communities and schools,” McGregor said in a released statement. “Today’s ruling clears the way for VictoryLand to reopen and to fulfill the wishes of those voters. VictoryLand’s resurrection will mean jobs for thousands of Alabamians – and not just in Macon County. “The ruling is a victory for communities across east Alabama. I am grateful the judge considered the undisputed evidence and recognized that I had been treated unfairly. But I am even more grateful the judge recognized that the people of Macon County had been treated unfairly. I look forward to the resumption of electronic bingo at Victoryland and the return of jobs for the people of Macon County and beyond.” This ruling could mean the return to employment for thousands of people, many from the Tallassee area. However, Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange plans to appeal this ruling. In a statement made following Judge Shashy’s ruling, Strange

said, “We strongly disagree with the judge’s rulings in the VictoryLand case. After the judge’s initial ruling in June, we filed an appeal that was stayed pending today’s decision. As we have done in previous cases, we are appealing the ruling and will be guided by the Supreme Court.” On Monday, Strange filed a motion to stay Judge Shashy’s Friday ruling. Strange asked the state to retain the slotlike machines along with the $260,000 taken during the 2013 seizure until the Supreme Court makes a ruling on the appeal filed after Shashy handed down his ruling. When VictoryLand was forced to close its doors in 2010, McGregor, vowed to fight the action taken against him and his business operation. In February of 2010, McGregor was arrested at his home in the early morning hours on federal corruption charges. In 2012, McGregor was acquitted of those charges after nearly two years of legal wrangling. Most local people support McGregor and the reopening of VictoryLand. Most of the people agree that the closure hurt the local economy and left people without jobs and families without breadwinners. “I was shocked, stunned, heart broken and frustrated. I had all of feelings at the same time. I had left a good job to go work at VictoryLand and three months later it was closed,” said Emily Moore, previous supervisor for VictoryLand. Like most people in the community, Moore hopes to see the establishment

reopen. “I’m glad it may be opening back up,” Moore said. “The county needs that for job opportunities. There are so many without jobs because the state made VictoryLand close. Now, those people may be able to go back to work. It just seems so unfair that the other casinos are still operating and VictoryLand isn’t.

Representatives of the Teamsters National Pipeline, United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters of the United States and Canada, Laborers’ International Union of North America and the International Union of Operating Engineers all spoke in favor of the pipeline projects, touting the business they would bring to areas where the work was being done. “We’ll stay in your hotels, eat at your restaurants and fill up at your local gas stations,” said Carl McGraw of the Teamsters. “This is an incredible opportunity for the local communities.” But landowner Ladis Hurst, who lives in Chambers County, which would see new pipeline from the Sabal Trail portion of the Southern Market Pipelines project, disagreed. “There will be a 50-foot right-of-way for this pipeline that divides 80 acres of my property,” said Hurst.

“It’s a shame too because it was right after he spent all that money on the hotel and it is just sitting there empty. Hopefully, now it can get going again soon.” While the legal battle continues, the prospect of VictoryLand reopening becomes a little more feasible with each of these latest court rulings.

Bachant Brown. Cooper’s reward? Licking the victim and some play time with Romain. Romain is trying to bring her love of dogs to her work as a medic and volunteer firefighter. “I love my work and I love dogs, so I figured I would mix them,” Romain said. “This is our first seminar. I have had Cooper for about two years and have been training him for rescue since January.” Brown is not only working with the dogs but the handlers too. “This training is as much for the dogs as it is the handlers,” Brown said. That was evident for Bay St. Louis, Mississippi resident Drew Puffer. “I got frustrated out there some today,” Puffer said. “I know all the stuff how scent follows the wind currents but Cam got a little distracted with a squirrel.” “You need to be quiet more,” Brown said. “I could hear you all over these woods. Just let him work. He was close to me and got distracted. I would have circled back and pushed up in here further beyond where he got distracted.” The mistakes are okay now. The animals in the class are just starting out. “All the dogs at this class today are

relatively new to search,” Brown said. “It takes between a year and half to two years of training before they are certified. That is when most search and rescue groups will allow them in.” To show the handlers how an experienced dog would do things, Brown brought out her canine Onyx. Within 45 seconds he found his mark. “That went quicker than I thought,” Brown said. “We came in upwind in the search area and I thought it would take a little longer but it did not.”

here, but it was all worth it. This facility is wonderful.” For many local artists, the art colony has become a regular retreat. “A lot of people have been coming here for 10 years, some longer than that,” said Sarah Wade, art colony founder and daughter of namesake Sarah Carlisle Towery. Wade helped to found the art colony in 1992, when she and her siblings rented some fishing cabins near Kowaliga for their mother’s 80th birthday. “We brought her friends in from all over the United States, and an instructor. That started it,” Wade said. That first art colony had five artists in attendance. This year Children’s Harbor was filled to capacity. “It’s gotten so popular that many people book year to year. At the end of this colony, some classes may fill up right away,” said Wade. Booking for next year’s art colony has already begun and space is limited.

‘Cats ready for Chelsea in region game A view of Auburn homecoming from the box

By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

While the No. 6 Benjamin Russell Wildcats will take the field on Thursday instead of Friday this week, the game itself will be no less important. The Wildcats (6-1, 2-1 in Class 6A-Region 3) will host the Chelsea Hornets (5-1, 2-1 in Class 6A-Region 3) on Thursday at 7 p.m. in a crucial region contest at the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex. While the Thursday game means a shorter week of practice, BRHS Coach Danny Horn said it does not change much about how the Wildcats will prepare for their next opponent. “It doesn’t change much. We’re just having to put a little bit more in and practice a little bit longer each day,” Horn said. “At this point, we know what we’re doing offensively and defensively. The main thing is recognizing their formations and how we adjust to them. I don’t like Thursday games, but it’s one of those things where you just have to do it. But preparation is not changed as much as you’d think.” Last season’s 42-13 win at Chelsea was one of the Wildcats’ best performances of 2014, Horn said. But in the 2015 version of the Hornets, Horn said the Wildcats will see a more experienced team that is having a similar season to them. “They’ve got a very good team. They had a very good team last year,” Horn said. “I thought we played one of our better games of the year when we beat them last year up there. But they’re better this year, and the main reason they’re better is they’ve got almost everybody back. They return the whole backfield, three offensive linemen, and on defense they’ve got six starters back. They were leading Opelika

like we were at halftime.” Horn said the Hornets’ offense will bring a lot of speed and size, but it’s the Chelsea defense that is their mostimproved unit this year. “Offensively, they’re explosive. They’ve got good speed and size,” Horn said. “Defensively, they’ve switched to a 3-5 this year and they’ve been playing really good. I think that has been their biggest improvement is their defense.” In order to get the win, Horn said the Wildcats will have to continue to run the ball as well as they have been, while slowing down the Chelsea rushing attack. “Obviously, we’re going to have to be able to run the ball and we’re going to have to be able to stop their run,” Horn said. “So far, we’ve been pretty good against the run,

but we’ve given up some big pass plays on occasion.” With both teams currently tied for second place in Region 3, Horn is encouraging fans to come out and support the Wildcats. “The winner of this game, it’s not a lock, but they will have the inside track on being the No. 2 seed, which means you would open the playoffs at home,” Horn said. “It’s a big game for both teams. I want to encourage the fans to come out and support us. I know it’s a Thursday game, but it’s fall break at school, so it will be basically like a Friday night for them. It’s an important game, so I want to encourage everyone to come out and support us this Thursday.”

Rebels set to host region foe Woodland for homecoming By Willie G. Moseley The Tallassee Tribune

As far as Reeltown head coach Jackie O’Neal is concerned, last Friday’s 24-20 away loss at area foe Ranburne wasn’t a “comeback” that came up short. The Rebels had scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to narrow the margin but were unable to come up with a winning score. “It was more ‘not getting started’,” O’Neal said. “We didn’t come out ready to play – we didn’t have any enthusiasm.” The Rebels had trouble containing the efforts of Ranburne quarterback Dylan Wiggins, while the Bulldogs limited Reeltown running back Cody Martin to 80 yards. RHS also had a decent passing game, according to O’Neal, but too few drives resulted in points. “It was one of those situations where we didn’t get off on the right foot,” O’Neal summarized. “They played hard the second half, but we didn’t have the intensity in the first half.” Up this Friday is a home match against area opponent Woodland (1-5), of Randolph County. The opponent’s record, however, is irrelevant to O’Neal, as is the fact that Reeltown won last year’s contest by three touchdowns, 28-7. “We’ve got to concentrate on doing

things right on our side of the ball,” the veteran coach said. “We’re not executing very well. A lot of teams are going to play their best games when they’re playing us. Our kids need to understand it.” Unlike some other opponents, Woodland does not have a standout individual who might command a disproportionate amount of the Rebels’ attention.

“They spread the ball around,” O’Neal said. “I’ve seen six or seven kids run the ball for them, so that tells you they don’t have a go-to guy who’s exceptional, but they’re all good. They run the spread offense, and when they get backed up they may switch to the I (formation).” Friday night’s game in Reeltown begins at 7 p.m.

The SEC is completely up for grabs T

he Auburn Tigers improved their record to 3-2 on Saturday with a 35-21 win over the San Jose State Spartans in a damp Jordan Hare Stadium. It was an uninspiring performance by the Tigers which is quickly becoming their calling card for the year 2015. It doesn’t sound logical, but I felt more encouraged by the loss to Mississippi State (in which AU didn’t even score a TD) than I did by the win over the Spartans. While every armchair quarterback worth his salt has tried to pinpoint the source of Auburn’s woes this season, the simple conclusion I’m coming to is that the Tigers just aren’t very good. I have now witnessed Auburn be unable to dominate either line of scrimmage against an FCS and Mountain West opponent. That is beyond disturbing. It is impossible for me to believe the Tigers don’t have a significant talent advan-

tage over those two particular schools. Whatever the disconnect is, it better get resolved immediately. Otherwise, Auburn is in for a world of embarrassment in the coming weeks. I thank the good Lord above for the implementation of the off week. I need a break from the Tigers. They’re exhausting to watch right now and I’m tired of trying to figure out what’s wrong with them. I picked Georgia to win the East a couple of months ago and I’m going to stick with that pick. I know the Bulldogs were dismantled by the Tide over the weekend, but that was a rather predictable performance by the Dawgs.

Mark Richt is good for at least one stink-o-rama a year. The real surprise this weekend was the beat down Florida put on the Rebels. Colonel Reb hasn’t surrendered like that since Appomattox. Gator HC Jim McElwain deserves a lot of credit for taking a totally dysfunctional Florida offense and making it, well, quite functional. I don’t think there’s any doubt the winner of the Florida-Georgia game in Jacksonville will decide the Eastern Division championship. Of course, I only say that because the rest of the East is absolutely horrendous. The West is a totally different story. I think it’s as wideopen as it has been in quite a few years. I never truly bought Ole Miss as a superpower, but they’re obviously better than they showed in Gainesville. LSU has the best player in college football in their backfield, but I’m still in no way convinced QB Brandon Harris

has what it takes to win a game in the fourth quarter. Alabama may very well be the best team in the division, but I’ll be surprised if they don’t endure at least one more loss. I’m impressed with Texas A&M, but there’s no way they navigate their schedule unscathed. In other words, I have no idea who represents the West in Atlanta. Why would you listen to me anyway? I picked Auburn like a dullard. Literally as I’m writing this column, I’m getting the news that Duke Williams has been dismissed from the Auburn football team. Well, I guess we can stop trying to figure out how to get him the football. The warning signs were all there that this was inevitable, but I was hoping he would last the season. It’s always a shame to see a great talent throw away an opportunity. The hits just keep on coming. What’s next? Graham is a sports columnist for The Outlook.

was there and I saw the whole thing. I didn’t BY COREY leave early out of ARWOOD boredom, frustration or Guest the overwhelming guarColumnist antee of a win, there was no reason to. It wasn’t a slaughter like the usual homecoming matchup is intended to be. It was a fight unto the end with no raging victory and no clear victor. The Auburn Tigers struggled the whole game through to dominate, but they never did. The San Jose State Spartans wouldn’t let them. The Spartans played a solid game both defensively and offensively against a team that, at least around these parts, is expected to be better. After all, that seems to be the understood rule of how a homecoming opponent is picked, on the basis of an easy win. It was much more entertaining, though, to watch a game instead of a beating. There was a large crowd in JordanHare Stadium on the cool, gray and windy afternoon. Every seat was not filled but for a homecoming game the turnout seemed high enough. As the afternoon passed a mist rolled in that would turn into a fog. Play by play it became evident that the Spartans were not going to give up, and that the Tigers couldn’t make them. The Tigers struck first though, getting points on the board off of a Spartans fumble. But near the end of the first quarter the Spartans brought it back with a touchdown, and on that play, the bell was wrung that would set the tone for the rest of the game. It was not going to be an easy win, if one at all. The crowd did not seem to have the patience for it. Maybe it was the weather, I don’t know and I can’t judge. I was experiencing my first time in the press box, out of the elements and enjoying the complimentary food and drink there to keep the media fat and happy and writing nice things. The Tigers put seven more points on the board before the end of the first quarter, and took the lead for the rest of the game. But it wasn’t until the last minute of the second quarter that they seemed to gain traction with a second touchdown that brought the score to 21-7. The crowd seemed to reignite with confidence at the Tigers’ surge going into halftime. Maybe it was from the distance the Tigers gained on the scoreboard, or maybe it was the cold and thickening fog following the homecoming proceedings but coming back into the second-half, stadium seats had thinned even more. Roughly six minutes into the third quarter the Spartans began to close the gap with touchdown attempt after touchdown attempt, each held under review. Finally one held and the crowd booed the ruling. About three minutes later the Tigers would bring the score to 28-14. For some this touchdown, with five minutes remaining in the third quarter, seemed to signal the end of game. Dissatisfied rumblings could be heard about the Tigers’ performance, but the game was still yet far from over. With 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter the crowd had noticeably thinned. A few minutes later people were pouring out of the stadium, but the Spartans fought on and closed the gap further still with another touchdown. With about five and a half minutes remaining in the game the Tigers only led by a touchdown and extra point with a score of 28-21. Still the crowd resumed its retreat, the Tigers in the clutch of a possible homecoming upset. But in about a minute they would resume their 14-point lead bringing the score increasing their margin to 34-21 in the four remaining minutes of the fourth. For the Spartans it was the end of the game, their confidence seemed shot and with less than three minutes they fumbled and the Tigers advanced but without any further gains. The game was officially over when the Tigers took a knee with about 50 seconds left. It didn’t seem like a win that anyone was too excited about. Most seemed upset it wasn’t a clear-cut victory. Maybe it was the collective performance of the entire season that weighed on the crowd. Who knows? Like Jeb Bush says, “Stuff happens.” Corey Arwood is an intern at The Outlook and Dadeville Record.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You could be getting more than you bargained for. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry -- you can handle whatever comes up. Your interest might be focused on a child or loved one. You seem to be deep in reverie, so it would be wise to make decisions at a later point. Tonight: Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes.â&#x20AC;? TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Someone you meet could have a lot of depth. This person might be very diÉ&#x2C6;erent from your usual type of acquaintance. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t jump into a relationship or friendship with this person too fast, as he or she seems to be very judgmental. Hit the brakes. Tonight: Share a vision. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your ability to get past a problem increases because of a willingness to walk away from someone who is being unreasonable. A friend could add fervor to a pursuit with information he or she shares. You might be a bit more rigid than you realize. Tonight: Stand up for yourself. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You will want to open up to a new possibility that you have not yet considered. You initially might have eliminated some ideas, but why not test out a suggestion now? Go through this process with an eye to getting where you want to go. Tonight: Visit with friends. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Your sense of direction will take you down a new path. Others might be reluctant to follow, but eventually some will join you. A conversation with several friends could help you to understand where others are coming from. Tonight: Time for some midweek fun! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HH Continue down a more thoughtful path, and try to be less involved with the chaos of the moment. As a result, you will gain a more complete understanding. Know what is wanted and expected of you by a partner or dear friend. Tonight: Expect the unexpected.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Take charge of your schedule by focusing on what you want. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happy if you defer to others too often. This tendency could create problems where there should be none. Open up to potential change and more opportunities. Tonight: In a Ă&#x2026;urry of activity. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be at the point where you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know which direction you should head in. Social and professional pressure might persuade you to follow the conventional mode. If you see a diÉ&#x2C6;erent path that others donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, and believe it will be successful, go for it. Tonight: Out late. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Your ability to come to terms with a challenging situation will beneĂ&#x201E;t you. Someone else might see a situation diÉ&#x2C6;erently from you how you envision it, but that is OK. Look at the matter from both perspectives. You will know what to do. Tonight: Choose something exotic. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You often get mixed messages; however, today, a partner will make his or her requests clear. Acquiesce to this person, but only if you feel that his or her ideas are on the right path. A boss will let you know how much you are appreciated. Tonight: Follow your instincts. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about what others think you should do. You might care a little, as some people seem to have good ideas that you hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t considered. A conversation could be so oÉ&#x2C6; the wall that you can barely even respond. Tonight: Allow someone else to take the lead. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might have diÉ&#x2030;culty with a friend. This person continues to demand that a personal matter goes the way he or she desires. You could opt to play this game, but there will be ramiĂ&#x201E;cations that need to be considered. Use caution when handling funds. Tonight: Relax.

The Outlook

The blues are coming to the Equality Performing Arts Center

his rain has been a true blessing to help nature’s growing things and cool us down. Not so much traffic on the first Saturday. I expect folks were getting settled early for their respective football games, plus it was drizzly. I heard that Santuck had quite a few vendors deciding not to take the chance with our iffy weather. It takes a lot of effort to pack and take goods to sell, then to pack and take home what you have remaining. October is “adopt a shelter dog month”, so if you are able, please go and pick one out. The dog will give you more love and loyalty than you can handle. Of course, always consider whether you have a safe place for your new pet, because running the roads is very unsafe for them. On Saturday, when closing my shop, I saw a pack of 3 dogs, a large black dog with a puppy and a large Golden/ Lab mix in deep brown. They crossed Highway 9 and travelled right up the middle of the road, heading north, and as the cars and trucks came. I cringed. Later I learned that these dogs live on the road, such a shame as Highway 9 travel for animals is like signing their death warrant. It’s unfair and cruel. October birthdays are plentiful. Best wishes to Dennis Nordlund on Oct. 10 and Cody Ott, now stationed with the Air Force in Colorado (grandson of Pete and Peggie Ott of Nixburg), will be 27 on Oct. 12.

Ongoing Events READY TO WORK: Ready to Work classes beginning weekly. This is a FREE jobs skills training program offered at Central Alabama Community College Career Center.

For more information contact Elaine Balint, instructor, at 256-215-4496 (leave message) or ebalint@cacc.edu. CELEBRATING RECOVERY: We meet every Monday at 5:45 p.m. at Vertical Point Church, 860 Airport Dr., Alex City. YOU can be a part by: Praying for this ministry, Attending a meeting - see what God is doing, Telling others about CR & inviting

ROSIE MORGAN Nixburg/ Equality

How awful, another college shooting in Oregon, resulting in 9 dead students and seven others wounded. Apparently, as reported, the shooter was targeting Christians and had threatened to do this for months. The shooter is said to suffer some kind of debilitating mental disorder and his family was aware of this. I am wondering if students may need to take some kind of emotional/ mental testing annually during the school years to learn about those that could become dangerous or need treatment. It is unfair to the rest of society, when some make the excuse, “Oh, he was unstable” or “He was on medications that may have affected the decision making.” That should not be the way of things these days. Life was so much safer in general when I first came to live in Alabama in 1969. Many years later the gangs moved in and those on the right side of the law lost control. Like Chicago: 111 people killed over just two weekends and barely even covered in the newscasts. I had a chance to meet my friend from Romania some years back as she was coming for a lecture, but when I learned it would be in Chicago it was out of the

question. Remember, before you complain, without authority like the police, you would be in fear for your life every day. My dear friend Pat Garnett went to Gainesville, Georgia, last week to meet her beautiful great-granddaughter, Anniston Marie. Pictures are super, this baby looked a month old at birth, still has lots of black hair, and is a beauty in front of the camera. This Friday night, Oct. 9 you can find out why the ‘blues’ makes you feel so ‘good’ at the Equality Performing Arts Center. Doors open at 6:30, show begins at 7 p.m. on Main Street in Equality or Alabama 9. Coming to the stage will be “River Bottom Blues Band,” playing music in the style of Robert Johnson, Eric Clapton, Son House, Lightning Hopkins and those super-greats B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and John Lee Hooker. Plus the band also plays Southern Rock numbers and originals. Band members are Joe Hudson on acoustic guitar and vocals, Mike Daniel on blues harp, Ronny Cooper on electric guitar and vocals and Denise Bates on Bass. Make your plans and bring your refreshments. Until next week, keep smiling. Rosie
