Officials probe double homicide in Goldville By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

Stevens Mitch Sneed / The Outlook

A lab mix guards the door of a mobile home on Pate Road where investigators say Dean Carl Stevens, above, killed Robert Wayne Mitchell and his sister Dianna Mitchell Sharpe Thursday afternoon.

Two people are dead after a Thursday afternoon shooting at a secluded mobile home in the Goldville community in northeast Tallapoosa County. Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett confirmed that two adults, a male and a female, were found dead in a trailer at 424 Pate Road Thursday afternoon.

Preliminary investigation revealed that Dianna Mitchell Sharpe, 48, and Robert Wayne Mitchell, 50, were found in the residence located at 424 Pate Road which carries a Cragford mailing address even though it is in Tallapoosa County. Both victims had sustained gunshot wounds that resulted in their death, Abbett said. The discovery of the bodies came after Dean Carl Stevens, 50, responsible turned himself in at New Site Town Hall and led investigators to the See HOMICIDES, Page 3

‘Rally Flowers signs ‘Of Goats and in the Governors’ Alley’

AG issues statement on local gun law complaints

By Cliff Williams Outlook Staff Writer

“The South has had the most colorful politicians,” Political columnist and author Steve Flowers told a group gathered at the Adelia M. Russell Library Thursday. “It has been our entertainment in the absence of professional sports.” Flowers was in town promoting his book “Of Goats and Governors.” “I love small communities,” Flowers said. “In small towns like Alexander City, that is where my readership is.” Flowers gave a few samples from the book based on his knowledge of state politics. “I have always had a love of politics,” Flowers said. “I started out as a page in the state house.” Flowers recounts some of the those stories as

The Alabama Attorney General’s office investigated two complaints concerning possible unlawful prohibitions of firearms by a school and two public parks in Dadeville. Thursday Attorney General Luther Strange released information of his findings, saying Councill Middle School had the right under state law to ban guns, while McKelvey Park and Creation Plantation Park failed to comply with state law by erecting signs banning firearms. In the case of signage at the parks banning firearms, a call to the city attorney appeared to address the problem. “After the Attorney General communicated with the city attorney, the City of Dadeville removed the signs prohibiting weapons See GUNS, Page 3

Kiwanians get history lesson from Dadeville’s own Barbara Cole By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

Dadeville’s Barbara Cole grew up under unique circumstances. Cole, who will turn 80 in February, was born and grew up among the 28 families of Martin Dam Village, perhaps the only village in Alabama in its time to feature most of the conveniences of modern life – many long before they were offered anywhere else. On Thursday, she told the weekly gathering of the Dadeville Kiwanis Club of her experiences there. “We had everything that you have in this town today,” Cole said of the village which was originally built for the people she called “the bigshots” (doctors, nurses and construction supervisors) during the construction of Martin Dam. “We had a store with everything we needed. We had a clubhouse. Now Playing:

Pan 3D – PG Hotel Transylavania 2 – PG The Perfect Guy – PG-13

We had a guesthouse. We had electricity. We had indoor plumbing. We had garbage pick-up. We had streetlights. We had it all.” The village also had telephones, but only one long-distance line. And, apparently, a nosy operator. “I can remember when I was dating my husband,” Cole said. He called one day and said, ‘Barbara, I really don’t think that I can make it.’ And he couldn’t make it because we had dirt roads. And the operator said, ‘Oh, you can make it if you just go up by so and so.’” The village featured two- and threebedroom houses. Families without children or with a single child lived in the two-bedrooms. Families with two or more children lived in the three-bedrooms. Cole was born in one of the two-bedroom village homes in 1936 and lived there through World War II until she left for college (Jacksonville State) in 1952.

The Outlook DEAR ABBY: I was invited to a small gathering of women. I arrived punctually, was greeted by the hostess and asked if I wanted some water to drink. I accepted. As I looked around the room, everyone else had a glass of wine. When one other woman arrived a little while later and joined our group, the hostess asked her if she wanted wine or water to drink. I have never abused alcohol. Why was I not given a choice? I later found out that all the other women had been given a “show up” time that was a half-hour earlier than my “show up” time. I am hurt by the way I was treated. What are your thoughts? -- SECOND-CLASS

20s pay for their own “extras” (cellphone, gas, movies, gym memberships)? In my opinion, if they can’t afford these luxuries, they should get a second job or do without. My husband, on the other hand, thinks they should be “rewarded” simply for being good kids. At this stage in their lives, I think gifts should be reserved for birthdays and Christmas only and that we have been raising kids with a sense of entitlement that may be detrimental to their future (and to our retirement). What are your thoughts on this? -- ODD WOMAN OUT IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR ODD WOMAN OUT: My thoughts are these: If you are truly concerned that your

husband’s generosity could have a negative impact on your retirement savings, then he may be overly generous. If the “children” expect these gifts and don’t realize how lucky they are to be receiving this kind of largesse, the gifts should be stopped. However, if neither of these things is true and your husband derives pleasure from doing this for them, you should stay out of it.

scene. Abbett said that Stevens also resided at the same residence. He was arrested and charged with capital murder and remains in the Tallapoosa County Jail. “We do have a person of interest who is in custody,” Abbett said, at the scene. New Site Town Clerk Shelia Fuller said Stevens walked into the building at 2:32 p.m. “He said that he wanted to talk to an officer,” Fuller recalled. “I told him that they weren’t in the office and he asked me if I could call one. He was pretty insistent so I could tell something wasn’t right. I called Officer Phillip Weddle and Chief John McKelvey and they headed this way. “It’s pretty unnerving now, knowing what has happened. Let’s just say that it’s the wildest thing that has ever happened to me as long as I have been working here.” Weddle was the first to arrive and he talked with the man. He reportedly told Weddle that he had just shot two people and agreed to take officials back to the scene. Stevens could be seen in the back of a patrol car at the scene as investigators went in and out of the white and silver trailer. At times while authorities were on the scene, a confusedlooking black dog set perched on the top concrete block step, seemingly guarding the door. Assistant District Attorney Damon Lewis was also on the scene, but he indicated that it was too early to comment on any details of the incident. Abbett declined to speak to any possible motive for the killings. “There is no reason to believe that there is any further danger to the public at this time,” Abbett said. “We will release more details as they become available.” Had the man not turned himself in, it could have been quite some time before the crime was discovered. The nearest residence to the scene was more than a mile away. The trailer is tucked more than 150 yards off a rugged dirt road and from the outside, there was no sign of what had taken place inside. New Site Town Hall was shut down and crime scene tape and police vehicles blocked the entrances. That caused a stir in the area with people wondering if a crime had actually taken place there. “The truck that the person of interest was driving was here and it was a very fluid situation, so we didn’t want anything that could be evidence to be disturbed,” McKelvey said.

Regarding a complaint received about signs prohibiting guns at Councill Middle School, Strange’s office announced that the Tallapoosa

Our

Opinion

What do you think of ...?

A

recent non-scientific poll conducted on The Outlook’s website showed that 70 percent of those who voted said they didn’t trust their government. Despite those big numbers, attendance at council meetings is very low unless there is a big issue on the agenda and voter turnout in the most recent election was at an all all-time low. Get involved and make your opinion on issues known. We will even let you do that through the newspaper. What do you think about the way our city government is being run? How about gay marriage being made legal in the state of Alabama and the entire country? Or how about the idea of cutting Medicaid in hopes of helping balance the state’s budget? Do you have thoughts on how Tallapoosa County can attract more new businesses and industry that will provide jobs for our residents? Have you been on the receiving end of a good deed and would like to give credit where credit is due? Do you have a bone to pick with any of the stories in this newspaper? If you have something to say about any of these questions, then the answer is a letter to the editor or a guest column. This newspaper’s editorial page is an open forum for our community and we encourage you to write us and make your opinion known. It’s free. If you need help writing, our editors will be happy to help you craft a letter. Our rules are simple: no cussin’, no libel, no slander. Basically, if you’d say it around the dinner table with your grandmother, it’s probably acceptable as a letter to the editor. So let’s get the conversation started. What’s on your mind?

The

Alabama parks face an uncertain future

I

n the wake of the announcement to close five state parks and cut services and hours at other parks around the state, there have been many questions asked about the future of our state parks and what citizens can do to help. The best way to support the parks is to get out and visit them! ALL of Alabama’s state parks are still open to guests and we hope citizens will get out and visit them as our peak fall foliage viewing time arrives over the next few weeks around the state. With Columbus Day coming up Monday, it will be one of the last opportunities for many to visit these parks before they close. On Oct. 15 the following parks will close their gates: Bladon Springs, Chickasaw, Paul Grist, Roland Cooper and Florala. I want to be clear with the public that currently all parks are open. We are working diligently to formulate a plan for the future of the state parks system. Finding a long-term solution is difficult as the parks system is faced with an unprecedented situation. Over the past five years $15 million has been transferred from the parks’ budget to the general fund budget. There is difficulty in creating long- and short-term plans for the parks because there is so much uncertainty about the future of the parks’ funding. The future of the parks becomes a philosophical question of value: Do Alabamians believe the state should operate and manage

GREG LEIN Guest Columnist

a parks system affordable to all? Or will financial constraints force the parks system to move to a model where only affluent citizens can afford a day hike at their local park? In the future, if the Legislature continually transfers funds from the state parks system’s coffers, our parks will continue to be forced to adjust services accordingly. Our parks system has tightened its belt since 2012 when these transfers began. Despite seeing our money siphoned to other areas of government, we’ve been successful in helping our entire system thrive. For the first time in nearly two decades all facilities at the parks are operational, and we were able to have one of our best peak seasons ever this summer. Unfortunately, we’re now seeing nearly all of the revenue made off this record season transferred to the general fund. The state parks system is just that, a system. Some parks, like Lake Guntersville and Gulf State, gross more than tenfold what smaller parks gross each year. All parks have benefitted from money spent at each and every park. The money goes to a fund shared by all parks, and the larger parks absorb the costs associated with parks slated to close across

the state. With our funds depleted again, we’re not able to sustain this model and these smaller parks no longer have the necessary funding to operate. Our parks have entered into many concessionaire agreements, where private businesses operate attractions at the parks, with the parks system receiving a portion of those revenues. Attracting and maintaining these concessionaire agreements will be difficult for the parks in the future, as no business wants to make a risky investment at a park that could close in a year, two years, maybe five years. These concessionaires have been important in growing our parks system by helping to attract guests. These attractions were a reason the parks had such a successful summer season. As the leaves change and fall colors paint the state, I encourage you to visit your parks. Consider hosting a Thanksgiving picnic at one of our parks or braving the trails at one of the Halloween attractions offered at numerous parks. The future of the state parks system depends on the people who love the parks getting out and visiting them. We hope you’ll join us this fall at one of our beautiful state parks. Greg Lein is the director of the Alabama State Parks. He can be reached at Greg. Lein@dcnr.alabama.gov. For more information on facilities and reservations, please visit www.alapark. com.

A

s you may have seen in the news, the Conference Report to accompany H.R. 1735 – National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2016 passed the House of Representatives. We can all agree that providing for the common defense is our government’s most important duty. Each year Congress passes the defense bill to make sure that the Pentagon has the resources and flexibility they need to fulfill that mission. I was appointed to serve on the conference committee and worked with a bi-partisan and bi-cameral group of Members to iron out all the details of this crucial piece of legislation. Besides authorizing funding for the Pentagon to fund our military and help keep our nation safe, this bill included language that could directly affect folks across the Third District. One piece of the bill I was thrilled about was language similar to my amend-

MIKE ROGERS Congressman

ment to allow the Army to transfer its surplus vintage firearms to the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) to sell. Although the final language was not perfect, I am pleased it was included. This means the excess M1911A1 pistols, better known as 1911s, which used to be the standard U.S. Armed Forces sidearm, will be transferred to the CMP for them to inspect, grade and prepare to sell. Currently these excess 1911s are sitting in storage costing the taxpayers roughly $200,000 a year. So in the near future, the public will have the chance to purchase this vintage collectible firearm. The second inclusion that could impact east Alabamians is the language that would prohibit fur-

loughs at working capital facilities as long as there was funded workload. Working capital fund facilities include the Anniston Army Depot, one of the largest employers in the area, so I am pleased this language will help offer those employees a little more security for the vital work they do for our brave warfighters. Although the NDAA has passed the House of Representatives, at the time of this writing, it still must pass the Senate and then be sent to the President for his signature. President Obama has threatened to veto this bill. I urge him not to play games with our national security and to sign this important bill. Mike Rogers is a Republican congressman who represents Alabama’s Third Congressional District. For more, see www.mikerogers.house.gov, or like him on Facebook at Congressman Mike D. Rogers.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You’ll wake up to a bit of chaos in the morning. Tempers could Ă…are. Try not to sit on your anger. Much will come out in this short period that could temper your mood and response. Ask for more feedback from a trusted associate. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your creativity might be challenged. Don’t worry -- you will Ă„nd a solution. If you detach, you will see a hassle from others’ point of view. A brainstorming session will open one possibility after the other. Try not to nix someone else’s ideas. Tonight: Take oɈ ASAP. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could be a lot surer of yourself than you have been in a while. A discussion about what has been happening needs to be kept private. Your thoughts and discussions will reinforce your focus, as well as those who live with you. Tonight: A partner demands your attention. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your sense of direction emerges in a conversation. This quality can manifest on a theoretical level as well a physical level. Your upbeat attitude has a profound response from those around you. Know that you are lucky right now. Tonight: TGIF! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You Ă„nally will clear up a money matter that has been bothering you. You have reason to be angry, but choose a diɈerent time and place to process it. You will make a big diɈerence in what happens in the future. Tonight: Whatever you do, make it memorable. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You’ll zoom through your day, trying to complete as much as humanly possible. You have a roughness about you that turns people oɈ. If you see this pattern happening, think about your style of communication. Avoid sarcasm at all costs. Tonight: Whatever you touch works. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

HHHH Your enthusiasm comes forth and allows more to happen. You might notice that you have no tolerance for any kind of emotional drama right now. Be clear with others about your terms in order to relate more eɈectively. Tonight: Be with a favorite person at a favorite place. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You’ll see the role that a friendship plays in your life. Your secretive tendencies often stop people from connecting with you. Try to allow others to see the real you. You might hear some criticism, but the compassion you draw out will be more authentic. Tonight: Hang with friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Others come toward you. A boss might have plans that involve you. Understand what this person wants, and know that you likely will have to carry out any requests that he or she makes. Keep your opinions to yourself; don’t undermine your relationship. Tonight: Till the wee hours. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH News comes in from a distance. You could be taken aback by everything you have to do. On one hand, you’ll be trying to grasp the meaning of what was said. On the other hand, you’ll be replaying the actual words. Focus on the message. Tonight: Tap into your imagination. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH One-on-one relating could take a new twist. You suddenly might Ă„nd yourself in an argument. Few people understand the real meaning of your words. Allow a loved one to discuss his or her feelings. You’ll Ă„nd this discussion to be unusually powerful. Tonight: A quiet dinner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Try not to make too much out of a personal matter, and do your best to ignore someone’s temper Ă…are-up. Relax and do your thing, but don’t be surprised if someone invites you to join him or her in some spontaneous plans. Tonight: Paint the town red.

THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

Benjamin Russell quarterback Tyre Gray (8) breaks a tackle on his way to a touchdown during Thursday’s win over Chelsea.

No. 6 Wildcats bounce Chelsea By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

The No. 6 Benjamin Russell Wildcats jumped out to a 21-0 first-quarter lead and never looked back, as they cruised to a 42-24 region win over the Chelsea Hornets on Thursday at the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex. It took only two plays from scrimmage for the Wildcats (7-1, 3-1 in Class 6A-Region 3) to get on the scoreboard, as quarterback Tyre Gray found DeVee Herron for a 59-yard touchdown pass. The Sean Rape extra point gave BRHS a 7-0 lead with 11:13 left in the first. After forcing Chelsea (5-2, 2-2 in Class 6-Region 3) to punt on a three-and-out, Benjamin Russell finished off a seven play, 55-yard drive with a 31-yard touchdown run by Gray on the read option to make it a 14-0 game with 6:40 left in the first. Another Chelsea drive stalled after only five plays, and the Wildcats capped another short drive off with a 3-yard touchdown plunge up the middle by running back NeColby Maxwell, making it 21-0 with less than three minutes remaining in the first. The Hornets finally got on the board with 6:58 left in the second quarter after Jeffery Thomas hit a 25-yard field goal to make it 21-3. But the Wildcats responded on the ensuing possession, going 71 yards on 10 plays, with Maxwell scoring on a 7-yard run that made it 28-3 with 3:26 left in the first half. Benjamin Russell’s final score of the

first half came on a 71-yard scoring run by Maxwell with 1:42 left in the second that sent the Wildcats into halftime leading 35-3. The Wildcats’ final score of the night was a 30-yard touchdown run by Gray with 7:36 left in the third quarter. Chelsea got its running game going at the end of the third quarter, with Anthony Jones scoring on a 3-yard run and the Thomas extra point making it 42-10. Chelsea’s Zalon Reynolds ran for a 10-yard score in the fourth and Hornets’ quarterback Matthew Marquet hit Joshua Gregg on the 2-point conversion to make it a 42-18 game with 7:22 left in the game. Chelsea’s final score was a 1-yard run up the middle by Austin Stallworth in the fourth quarter. Benjamin Russell ended both halfs with an interception, as Benjamin Hendrix picked off a Marquet pass at the end of the second and Darius Jackson intercepted a Gregg pass to end the game. Gray led the Wildcats going 6-of-6 passing for 145 yards and one touchdown, while rushing for 106 yards on six carries for two more scores. Maxwell had 21 carries for 143 yards on the night, while Herron had four catches for 135 yards and score. Chelsea gained 249 yards of total offense, while the Wildcats finished with 285 yards rushing and 167 yards passing on the night. Benjamin Russell will hit the road next week for a region matchup with Valley. For more on Thursday’s game, see the weekend edition of Sports Extra.

Central-Coosa’s Cedarius Askew rushes up the field during Thursday night’s home game against Buelah.

Whetstone, Graham lead Coosa by Beulah By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

The Central-Coosa Cougars defeated Beulah 30-14 in a Class 3A, Region 3 contest at Central Stadium in Hanover Thursday night to run their record to 3-4 overall and 2-2 in region play. The win was the Cougars’ third straight. The last time the Cougars won three football games in a row was 2007, when they defeated Sylacauga, Holtville and Childersburg consecutively to open the season. After Beulah took a 6-0 lead on quarterback Trenton Lewis’ 1-yard run, Central tied the game at 6-all on its first offensive play of the second quarter. Cedarius Askew took a jet sweep around right end for 23 yards and a touchdown with 11:24 left in the first half. Rod Whetstone’s run for the two-point conversion made it 8-6 and the Cougars never trailed again. Central got another second quarter touchdown on Raymond Graham’s 44-yard run off right tackle. Omar Gaddis ran for the conversion. Beulah’s Lewis hit then De’Javious

Hunter on a 19-yard scoring strike and Lewis ran for the Bobcats’ two-point conversion and Coosa led 16-14 at the half. Central added eight more on Graham’s 9-yard toss to Askew and Gaddis’ conversion at the 9:09 mark in the third quarter and closed out the night’s scoring with 8:36 left in the game on Whetstone’s 11-yard run. The run for two failed. Graham and Whetstone led Central offensively, Whetstone rushing 19 times for 141 yards and Graham 16 times for 133 yards. The Cougar defense proved salty as well, particularly in the second half. Led by linebacker Shakerian Hayes and defensive tackle Toney Davis, the Cougars allowed the visitors only 33 yards after halftime. Next Friday, Central travels to Montgomery to play region foe Montgomery Academy, 5-1 overall and 3-0 in the region going into tonight’s game at Midfield. Beulah hosts Prattville Christian (2-5 overall and 1-3 in the region with an open date tonight) next Friday.
