By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Cliff Williams / The Outlook

The body of Seo Phyo Hong was found near the Kowaliga boat ramp Tuesday morning. No foul play is suspected.

A South Korean male was found dead at the Kowaliga boat ramp Tuesday morning. Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Marine Patrol Captain Gary Buchanan said authorities were called to the scene at 5:45 a.m. where they

found 57-year-old Seo Phyo Hong deceased. Though Hong has a Montgomery address, authorities were unable to locate any family members locally. “We are working through the South Korean consulate to notify any family in South Korea,” Buchanan said in a release Tuesday afternoon. No foul play is suspected in the death.

Barn destroyed in blaze 400 round bales of hay, tractor lost to probable lightning strike By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Lightning from passing storms is the likely cause of a fire that destroyed a barn in New Site early Tuesday morning. Storms and lightning were in the area Monday evening into Tuesday morning. The fire was noticed about 2:30 a.m. as a neighbor looked out her window and called for help. Hanson Farms employees on the scene after the sun rose while remnants of the barn were still smoldering and smoking said more than 400 bales of round hay were lost in the fire. A tractor was also lost to the flames. They were remaining on the scene as some bales had not yet been totally consumed by the flames. The hay lost to the fire was to be consumed by cattle on the farm over the winter. The farm is hopeful weather will permit one See FIRE • Page 2

Hydock kicks off new semester of Horizons Unlimited By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

It was a standing room only crowd in the board room of the Alexander City Board of Education building Monday afternoon for the first session of the fall 2018 semester of Horizons Unlimited. For the first meeting, the group had none other than celebrated storyteller Delores Hydock sharing historical stories from late 18th Century and early 19th Century Britain, under the heading of “Fools for Love: Fads and Fancies of Regency England.” Before Hydock began her presentation, Beverly Thomas with Horizons Unlimited and Ellen Martin with the Alexander City Board of Education welcomed guests to another exciting semester of programs. “Bringing together so many programs with speakers on so many different topics is not always easy,” Martin said. Setting the scene for the rest of her program, Hydock described a typical street in London as dawn began to break on June 11, 1811. As street

DEAR ABBY: When I was a teenager, there were many times when I made things awkward. It continues today. I try to have normal conversations with people, but when I do, I have nothing to say. My mind goes blank, so I keep quiet and walk away. I feel like the odd person out each time and like I’m not good enough, and it really sucks. The only time I’m successful socially with people is at work because I’m kind of forced to be. I really want to make friends and possibly get a girl in my life, but it’s almost impossible to do with my social skills. This is so depressing and disappointing that I’m almost ready to quit trying. I need some tips and guidance. Do you have any? -- FRUSTRATED GUY IN FAIRBANKS DEAR FRUSTRATED GUY: I think so. If you think you are alone in having this problem, you are mistaken. The major-

ity of people have the same insecurities you do. No one is born knowing how to be social. Social adeptness is a skill like any other. It can be learned and, with some practice and effort, polished until it becomes second nature. You don’t have to be handsome to be well-groomed. You don’t have to be brilliant or witty, either. Part of being social is showing an interest in other people. Ask them about what they think and encourage them to share their interests and opinions. And when they tell you, be a good listener. Cultivate your own interests and you will have something to talk about with others. My booklet “How to Be

Popular” contains tips on how to approach others, and what to say and what not to say when trying to make conversation. It can be ordered by sending your name and address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds), to Dear Abby, Popularity Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mt. Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. When you receive it, don’t read it just once. Keep it on hand for reference because it contains many helpful suggestions about how to be the kind of individual others find interesting and attractive. Be courteous and show kindness to others. If you do these things, you will find the results you’re looking for. DEAR ABBY: I was divorced three years ago after being married for 28 years. My ex-wife and I had spent the previous 10 years in counseling. I currently go to post-di-

vorce counseling, and my counselor agrees that I was mistreated by my ex and our adult children, who treated me more like an employee. I have begun seeing a much younger woman, and two of my kids say any relationship with them is predicated on my dating someone “my own age.” I feel this is wrong, and that it’s a continuation of them treating me as a servant/ dad, versus as a person. My counselor suggests walking away for a bit, to establish new boundaries. Your thoughts? -BUTLER DAD IN TEXAS DEAR DAD: I think you should listen to your therapist.

Another fine breakfast amongst friends in Dadeville

he Coosa County road crew was filling holes with hot tar this past week, which included Coosa County Road 4. I’m not sure, but I wonder if the one-man team is not really the answer as he cannot see all the holes and misses quite a few large ones doing an incomplete job. The previous week while the state workers were cutting the rightof-way on Highway 9, I spoke to one of the men who has worked this job for years asking if he could report the sink hole at ‘Nixburg House.’ He told me he already had done so. So far, no work on this by the county or the state. The state worker did agree with me that the hole had grown from a small one to something huge and dangerous as he almost lost his vehicle to it. He did not realize it was so large with such long grass. The large drainage area in the asphalt now being completely blocked and with all the extra rains in past months, it has stayed soggy to a degree.

We had a good day in Auburn on Thursday stopping to get a breakfast start at Jack’s in Dadeville also seeing Barbara

Munzemay from Rockford there. Sweet Melissa was pouring coffee, tidying and making folks at home. I was peeling away a filter for coffee this morning and it reminded me of helping my mum by separating cupcake papers. Mum made these fabulous individual sponge cakes, after baking and cooling, she would slice the top off and cut it in half, securing the two pieces to stick up on top of a thick layer of homemade buttercream icing. Us kids loved these. They were called ‘butterfly cakes,’ that name really fit the look. We took four of our dogs to the Elmore County rabies officer at Elmore County High School Saturday morning. It was full of troubles. To begin with, we were first in line. I had Zak and EmmaLee tethered standing in the shade in the usual place. We got there an hour ahead of the starting time and it only takes a few seconds. The waiting line of owners and dogs grew exponentially during the hour. There was an ongoing football game at the high school, so parking spaces were slim. When the vet’s truck and trailer arrived, it had nowhere

to park. Apparently, they didn’t know about the football game, and had been asked to move the rabies clinic to the elementary school. So, we all got into our vehicles and moved around to the other side of campus. Then, arriving early didn’t seem to matter, some who’d just arrived were now in the front of the line. Well, I wasn’t going to make my two wait in line another stretch out in the heat. Especially since on the way to the new line, Zak showed signs of over-heating. He lost all his breakfast and was panting heavily. I went to the front of the line, got my babies shots, then exchanged those two done for Bama and Gus in the SUV with Ron and we were away within minutes. There’s a lot to be said for the comfort of a good veterinary office. Until next week, stay hydrated, and keep smiling. Rosie Morgan is a community columnist for The Outlook.

Prayer walk The Alexander City Area Ministerial Association held a special prayer walk to try to bring unity and healing to the country for the first time in Alexander City since 2013. Stops included prayers for the first responders, government and churches in the roundabout. Prayers were also offered for the media, economy and education.

Hydock vendors began to hawk their wares and milkmaids carried their goods from house to house, throngs of Londoners made their way to Carlton House, then the residency of George, Prince of Wales and recently named Prince Regent to the throne on the morning after a party he threw in celebration of being named Prince Regent. While history remembers the man who became King George IV as someone who was not a great ruler, he has also been remembered as a royal who knew how to throw a good party. According to Hydock, George transformed royal dinners from a relatively medieval free-for-all into a far more elegant affair, with lavish meals and no expense spared to provide his guests with nothing but the best. “There were 2,000 guests invited to the party,” Hydock said. “Though there was not enough room in the ballroom for dancing, the band played on bravely until supper was announced at 2 a.m. The meal went on until dawn.” Tying the Prince Regent’s party into her larger theme, Hydock described George, Prince of Wales as being a trendsetter among the social scene in Britain at the time. During his love affair with the widowed Maria Fitzherbert, he had a portrait of his eye painted and sent to her, starting a brief tradition where lovers would send each other a small image of their eye to hold dear to them, known as a lovers’ eye. He would send her letters between 40 and 50 pages long on a regular basis, professing his love for her and, despite being married in a ceremony never officially recognized by King George III or the Parliament but considered valid by the Vatican (Fitzherbert was a Catholic), the two went their separate ways the day after the party in 1811. Hydock further tied in George, Prince of Wales’ actions as describing some of the more

interesting things people would do for love at the time, including being suckers for interesting fashions. While this was a time when powdered wigs and extravagantly tall hair were falling out of favor and clothing was becoming more comfortable and relatively casual for the period, there were multiple ways people

their affections for one another. Sharing miniature portraits to be worn in a brooch or pendant was a common practice, where one lover could carry the image of their beloved with them no matter where they went. In an era when pockets in clothing had not been invented yet, people carried around small boxes with everything they needed on a regular basis, which would often be embossed with these miniature

What made doing this even more important was how the concept of marriage was changing during the 1700s, according to Hydock. “Before that, it was all about inheritance and property,” she said. “During the 1700s, the radical idea of having affection in marriage became more prominent.”

One attendee asked Hydock how she became interested in this subject, to which Hydock replied it all had to do with an exhibit the Birmingham Museum of Art once had. “The museum had a collection of lovers’ eyes on display,” she said. “Some of these have a diamond set in them like a teardrop, which were a

symbol of mourning for the person whose eye it was.” After the conclusion of Hydock’s talk, several guests had further questions for her, while others left talking about how interesting the program had been. “We are off to a great start this semester,” Thomas said. “Delores

Our View

Know the C signs of suicide

onday was World Suicide Prevention Day, and even though the day has passed, we should spend every day trying to prevent suicide in all forms. Actor Robin Williams, Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington, NFL linebacker Junior Seau lost their lives due to suicide and the list goes on. And that’s a just dab on the spectrum of famous people who have committed suicide. It doesn’t even begin to approach the everyday problem the United States has with people ending their own life. According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S., and 44,965 Americans die by suicide each year. In Alabama, one person dies by suicide every 11 hours. It is also the third leading cause of death for individuals ages 15 to 24 in the state. We point this out because we all need to be able to identify risk factors for suicide. Some of the major ones are alcoholism or substance use disorders, hopelessness, impulsive or aggressive tendencies or a history of trauma and abuse. Additionally, we need to know the warning signs: peers and loved ones talking about killing themselves, talking about being trapped or in unbearable pain or talking about being a burden to others. Several more risk factors and warning signs can be found at www. suicidepreventionlifeline.org. Just understanding the issues concerning suicide can play an essential role in helping individuals who are struggling. Sometimes just talking about the problems can help, other times reducing that person’s access to self-harming materials may be necessary. The overarching theme here is we all have to be aware of what to do when somebody is crying out for help, and we need to be able to provide such support ̽ even if it’s just having a conversation. If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline can be reached at 1-800-273-8255.

Outlook The

Illegal immigrants and Census

onservative Republicans, like Jeff Sessions, have been obsessed with illegal immigrants for years. Sessions is and has always been a stickler for obeying the laws of our land. He is the most honest, upright, squeaky clean, politician I have ever seen in my lifetime of observing politics in Alabama. He is like Dudley Do Right, only shorter and straighter. He was an Eagle Scout and you can tell he was not making it up on his resume. He epitomizes a grownup Eagle Scout. He has never outgrown the straight and narrow path. During his 20-year tenure in the U.S. Senate as our junior Senator, he was the ultimate ideologue and one of, if not the most, conservative members of the Senate. He did not just give lip service to his reactionary positions, He put leg service in to every right-wing cause and issue. He was the Attorney General of Alabama before his election to the U.S. Senate. Prior to that he was the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama in Mobile. Being a prosecutor has always been his passion. Therefore, when Donald Trump offered him the U.S. Attorney General post that is why he took it. Most U.S. Senators would have balked at abandoning a safe Senate seat they could stay in for life. Our Senior Senator, Richard Shelby, would have laughed in Trump’s face if he offered him a Cabinet position. Shelby would have told him, “Thanks but no thanks.” If Trump had offered him his job as president, Shelby would have considered it a demotion. Probably the only reason that Jeff Sessions will not be fired by the irrational Trump is that he knows that Shelby and Mitch McConnell and the Republican Senate leadership would automatically

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist dissolve any power that Trump has as President. He would be rendered irrelevant when it comes to how any federal dollars are appropriated. For you see, Chairmanship of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee trumps the President every day of the week. There is an old adage that those that have the gold make the rules. Trump understands that rule. Having said all that, Jeff Sessions and Donald Trump are right. We have immigration laws in this country, the same way that we have bank robbery and mail fraud laws. Without these laws and the upholding and adherence to these laws, we would have complete anarchy in the United States. It is not right or lawful that Mexicans enter the country illegally while other people from Brazil, China or Europe are properly applying for citizenship. The law should be upheld. States like California have been gleefully welcoming illegal immigrants for decades. It has basically ruined the once Golden State. They are now so deep in debt from giving free health care and school systems to illegals that they will never recover. My interest has been here at home in Alabama. It was not our problem. However, folks, it now is our problem; because California may steal one of our seven Congressional Districts by counting illegal, undocumented Mexicans in the 2020 census. Alabama is now at risk of losing a seat in the U.S. House and concurrently an electoral vote in the presidential elections because we have experienced

slower growth than other states; especially those who count people who are here illegally. Conservative states like Alabama have filed suit in federal court to stop the count of illegals. The census count is immensely important. It determines the number of seats that each state has in Washington, which also determines the number of electoral votes which ultimately decides the presidency. California wants to use these illegal residents to steal congressional representation from conservative states like us and even states like Ohio who have not harbored hordes of illegal immigrants. This court battle will boil down to a simple question: Who should be counted? The biggest census battle to determine the answer to this question was started by the Trump administration and implemented by Attorney General Sessions. It is a mandate that the census questionnaire will ask: Are you a citizen? Folks we have a lot at stake. To lose a congressman to a state like California due to the counting of illegal aliens, could mean not only less representation but billions of dollars in federal grants for Medicaid, Medicare, housing assistance and transportation. You may have been ambivalent about illegal immigration, but it affects you and it could affect you very adversely if you reside in Alabama. See you next week.

What purpose does the ethics commission have?

am disappointed to find myself, once again, in a position to ask what purpose the Alabama Ethics Commission serves to the people of this state. To whom are the elected officials or those seeking public office to look to for ethical political leadership? The people of Alabama need an Ethics Commission that will enforce the laws and regulations it is charged with enforcing, with consistency. When campaigns file their fundraising disclosures with the Secretary of State’s office, they are required to file on a given date no later than 11:59 p.m. When candidates and political action committees (PACs) fail to file these reports in a timely manner, the law requires the Secretary of State’s Office to issue a civil penalty based on the amount of contributions and expenditures from that reporting period. In the event that a candidate or PAC wishes to appeal the penalty, the Secretary of State’s office is required to send those requests to the Alabama Ethics Commission, allowing members of the Commission to determine whether the penalty should be upheld or not.

JOHN MERRILL Alabama Secretary of State

At three previous Ethics Commission meetings, in February, April and June of 2018, the commission waived fines on 12 appeals that were filed outside the 14-day window allowed by law. However, during the Commission’s meeting on Sept. 5, they declined to hear cases filed outside the 14-day window, saying they didn’t have jurisdiction and declining to rule on whether that penalty would stand — despite having previously done so previously 12 times in 2018. It is the position of the Secretary of State’s Office that these specific matters were improperly set aside and should be reinstated by the Commission. And, in spite of a request from counsel for the Ethics Commission, the Secretary of State’s Office will continue to adhere to the requirements of state law which clearly establishes the Commission as the sole body with authority to overturn a penalty issued for a campaign

or political action committee filing a financial disclosure form after the due date. Previously, Ethics Commission Executive Director Tom Albritton stated, “the commissioners reviewed those files and discussed them in detail before our meeting. So they reviewed every one of them as they have for every meeting.” If that is true, then why have they just now become aware of these appeal date issues? Each appeal delivered to the Alabama Ethics Commission is delivered as a file which includes each file that was not timely filed and a copy of the date the appeal was filed. The Code of Alabama directs the Secretary of State’s Office to work in conjunction with the Alabama Ethics Commission to administer the Fair Campaign Practices Act. Therefore, without communication and cooperation between our agencies, as well as the commission’s consistent application of the laws and rules established by the legislature, the FCPA does not work. Merrill was elected as secretary of state and oversees elections in Alabama.

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be in touch with someone whom you Ă&#x201E;nd to be somewhat aggravating. How you approach this situation could vary from one individual to the next. Get in touch with your anger and frustration, or you could become explosive. Tonight: Be aware of what is being oÉ&#x2C6;ered. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Defer to others, and let them reveal their intentions -- although you might be shocked by an associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aggravation. Unfortunately, even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve it, this personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anger could be directed at you. Stay cool and calm; everything will work out. Tonight: Go with the Ă&#x2026;ow. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Pace yourself; you have a lot of ground to cover. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to schedule an appointment with a doctor for a checkup. One-on-one interactions feel rewarding and point you down a more positive path. You could be unusually tired. Tonight: Make being a couch potato OK. CANCER (June 21-July 22) From moment to moment, your emotions could skyrocket or plunge. The good news is that you know when your mood is likely to change quickly. Understand what is happening with a child or loved one. If you are single, Cupid could be just around the corner. Tonight: Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes.â&#x20AC;? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your feelings touch another person deeply. You connect with this person as though you have known each other forever. If you can get past a misunderstanding, you will Ă&#x201E;nd today to be particularly rewarding. Tonight: Once more, recognize the power of your strong foundation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Return calls early on in the day. A conversation that you have today might need to be repeated in a few days. If the other party spaces out on you, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get uptight. This person might be processing a lot. Use your high energy well. Tonight: At a favorite haunt with favorite people.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Be aware that each action has a reaction. When you decide to join friends, observe the cost. You might have been less than diligent in dealing with your Ă&#x201E;nances. Stay on top of your spending. Otherwise, money might be an issue for you. Tonight: Fun doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to cost anything. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get past an obstacle that drops on you via someone else. You could be sullen and quiet, but you eventually will emerge smiling and ready to handle whatever comes down the path. Your habit of keeping a lot to yourself works well for you. Tonight: You can do no wrong. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) At the moment, you might want to go out on your own and avoid interacting with others. Your mood might be quieter than usual, and you also might not like the feedback you get from several friends. Do your thing, but keep it low-key. Tonight: Order a favorite type of food. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be overly serious and determined. People who are too playful might irritate you. A friend you cannot contain shares some special news. A child or new friend causes his or her share of uproar. Maintain a sense of humor, and everything will be OK. Tonight: Among the crowds. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Understand how far you can push in order to have things go your way. A boss seems to be hanging on to your words. Understand the possibilities surrounding a situation. Make a point of being a bit more abstract today. Be willing to stand up for yourself. Tonight: In the limelight. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) When a situation becomes too hazy, make a point to detach and look at the issue from a diÉ&#x2C6;erent point of view. You immediately will understand what you need to do. Surprises head your way. Tonight: Meet up with a friend at a place where you can listen to music.

Brett Pitts is defensive force for BRHS By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Not a lot went right for Benjamin Russell’s offense on Friday night against Stanhope Elmore. But there were a lot of bright spots defensively, and one of those stood out above the rest. Junior Brett Pitts, who has taken over one of the most key roles on Benjamin Russell’s Pitts defense at inside linebacker, “introduced

himself to some people,” according to Wildcat coach Kevin Smith. He was flying all over the field and making his presence known. Pitts is the Outlook Player of the Week. “I was just playing hard,” Pitts said. “I had Marquel (Jackson) there in front of me helping me out a lot. He was taking on their guards and taking on double teams, so that was big.” See PLAYER • Page 11

ANDY GRAHAM Columnist

Home team has dominated Auburn vs. LSU series

he most wonderful thing about Auburn’s glorified scrimmage against Alabama State on Saturday night was the lack of any major injuries. It’s nice — and I’m sure a confidence builder — to light up the scoreboard with 63 points and rush for a whopping 429 yards. However, those numbers must be put in their proper perspective considering the competition. With all due respect to the Hornets, they were considerably outmatched at every single position. The Tigers need to quickly turn the page and fully realize they’ll be facing a far more formidable beast this Saturday. Gus Malzahn understands that and, undoubtedly, every one of his players does as well. Auburn and LSU have had some classic confrontations over the years producing some of the most memorable games in SEC history. The battle of the Tigers has been hosted in Jordan Hare Stadium nine times since the year 2000. Auburn is 7-2 defending its home turf with the only losses coming in 2008 and 2012. Not coincidentally, those two seasons represent the only two losing seasons AU has had since 2000. They were a combined 8-16 during those two years. In other words, Auburn has consistently beaten LSU at home over the last two decades when fielding a team with a robust pulse. Then again, as Bob DeNiro said in the movie “Heat,” “there’s a flipside to that coin.” (I know he’s kind of a wacko now, but I still love that movie.) LSU is 9-0 defending its home turf against Auburn since the year 2000. The orange and blue Tigers have been good, but the Bengal Tigers have been better. Gus Malzahn and crew had a golden opportunity to break that streak in 2017, but gagged royally blowing a 20-point first-half lead and I don’t want to talk about it anymore. While the LSU-Auburn series has admittedly had its oddities, it’s also been a very predictable matchup. It has traditionally pitted two very physical, defensive minded teams against one another that have a strong desire to run the football. Now, there are myriad reasons why certain teams win certain football games at certain times, but some statistics cannot be ignored. Again, I’m not boiling an entire game or series down to one statistic. I just find these numbers interesting. In the 18 games played between the Tigers and Tigers since 2000, the team that has ended up with more rushing yards has won 14 times. The four outlier games were in 2004, 2005, 2016 and 2017. The game in ’04 was an absolute grudge match between two outstanding teams. LSU outgained AU 140-131 on the ground. Auburn scored late and famously missed the extra point, but LSU committed an unusual penalty giving them a second chance. AU won 10-9. Kenny Irons ran wild in ’05 and Auburn out-rushed LSU 230-149. However, John Vaughn missed five field goals and the Tigers lost 20-17 in overtime. Oddly enough, Auburn made six field goals in ’16 beating LSU 18-13 despite getting outgained on the ground 220-154. Finally, last year LSU engineered a big comeback and won 27-23 even though it was outgained 189-157 on the ground. What does all this mean? Well, it means the team that runs the ball the best will probably win, unless the other team kicks a lot of field goals or misses a lot of field goals or … I don’t know, just enjoy the game. It should be fun. Andy Graham is a regular columnist for The Outlook.

Benjamin Russell’s Timira Lawson (5) goes up for a kill against Opelika on Tuesday night.

MARATHON MATCH Wildcats fight back to defeat Opelika in five sets By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Adversity was the name of the game for both Benjamin Russell and Opelika in their first area volleyball match on Tuesday night. Both had obstacles to overcome, as their opponent went up big or had a convincing victory. But it was the Wildcats who made the ultimate comeback, responding from a late five-point deficit to force a decisive fifth set. They then went on to play some of their best volleyball in the shortened frame, winning 15-10 to earn a 3-2 victory and start off area play on a high note. “It was a huge win,” Benjamin

Russell outside hitter Sarah Rogers said. “We weren’t doing too well, but we really fought for this and I’m proud of us.” After winning the first set in convincing style, 25-15, Benjamin Russell faltered in the next two sets. The Wildcats had quite a few unforced errors in both the second and third frames. The Bulldogs came away with a 25-18 victory in the second set to tie the match, 1-1. Then, despite the Wildcats having a chance at set point, 24-23, they let the third set get away from them with Opelika winning, 26-24. “We’re young and we just need confidence,” BRHS coach Magan Ford said. “If we can get confidence,

we’ll be really good. Our hitters have to know how good they can be. In our last three points, Brooklyn (Edwards) just stepped up and got two kills, and those were only two kills of the night. She’s gotta know she can do that every time she touches the ball.” It was in the fourth set where the Wildcats showed they can overcome some of their youthfulness. Opelika looked like it was sure to put the match away, leading 17-12 and forcing quite a few BRHS errors. But suddenly, the Wildcats seemed to come alive. Behind service runs from Baylee Adkins and Makenzie Davis, Benjamin Russell knotted the See VOLLEYBALL • Page 11

Mentored hunts start Welch’s outdoors journey By DAVID RAINER Department of Conservation and Natural Resources

As far as Leslie Welch is concerned, she was hooked at “Boom.” That report from the deer rifle happened a couple of years ago when she was among the lucky people who were selected to go on an Adult Mentored Hunt in Mobile County. That experience set in motion Welch’s latest episode in her outdoors journey — alligator hunting. On her third try, Welch was drawn for one of the 150 tags in the Southwest Alabama Zone that includes private and public waters in Baldwin and Mobile counties and private and public waters in Washington, Clarke and Monroe counties that lie east of U.S. Highway 43 and south of U.S. Highway 84. Welch, who grew up in

a household that seldom ventured outdoors, had never even fired a gun before the mentored hunt, which made it even more interesting she would pursue an alligator tag. However, Welch said that first outdoors experience opened a whole new world of adventure. Duck hunting is next on her to-do list. “I grew up with a daddy who was a professor of religious studies at Alabama and a mom who (worked in) IT before she became an industrial engineer in computer science,” Welch said. “We didn’t have these opportunities because my parents never presented it. I dated a boy in high school who hunted. He asked me to go hunting, but I never went.” Welch, a former teacher, once worked with Amy Doss, wife of Jeremy Doss, a State Lands Division Submitted / Dept. of Conservation and Natural Resources Enforcement Officer with Leslie Welch bagged her alligator on the second weekend of the See HUNTS • Page 11 Southwest Zone season.

Volleyball scoreboard at 20-20. It finally took a late lead, 23-22, before Opelika committed an unforced error followed by a service area to give BRHS the set victory and another crack at it. Once again in the fifth set, Davis dominated at the service line and allowed the Wildcats to get ahead 8-2 on a five-point run that featured three aces. “This was awesome,” Ford said. “I really challenged the girls and told them we needed to start (area) 1-0. We’re young but that’s not an excuse anymore. We need to grow up, and Opelika has a good team. We had our backs against the wall, and in that fifth game, I told them to just go out and play. They really rose to the occasion and I am so proud of their fight.” Benjamin Russell had a strong variety on offense, getting kills from six

continued from page 10

different players. Timira Lawson led the way with seven kills, while Edwards, Davis, Rogers and Taylor Harris all had five. Zaria Roberson and Breanna Smith each had two kills. “Sarah looked really good, and Timira is starting to find her stride,” Ford said. “Our right sides, Taylor Harris and Zaria Roberson, are ninth graders, and they got several key kills for us.” Rogers said, “Our hitters, I don’t want to say they’ve been our strong point but they definitely make an impact on the team. But it takes the whole team. The passing and sets have to be there or else it wouldn’t work for our hitters.” Keke Jackson and Makenzie Davis split the setting duties, each coming up with 13 assists, and Baylee Adkins led the way defensively with four digs.

Benjamin Russell’s Baylee Adkins prepares to defend a potential kill against Opelika on Tuesday night.

Hunts the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. “Amy would always have good stories for me about the outdoors,” Welch said. “And Amy was telling me about this hunt for first-timers.” Jeremy Doss and Daniel Musselwhite, the Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries’ South Regional Hunter Education Coordinator, were involved in starting the Adult Mentored Hunt (AMH) program in Mobile County. Welch fit the AMH target profile of a nonhunter and was chosen to go on her first deer hunt. She didn’t even see a deer, but several of the other hunters bagged their first deer that day. “It was fun to watch and fun to be a part of,” Welch said. “Everybody was so welcoming, and nobody made you feel like an idiot for not knowing things, which is important, especially to a first-time person. Everything was explained to me. “When I got to shoot the gun, oooh, I loved it. It scared the bejesus out of me, but I was really good at it. Then I bought a gun after that.” She still hasn’t squeezed the trigger on a deer, but that hasn’t quelled her enthusiasm. Then Amy shared another outdoors story about gator hunting after a friend of the Dosses got a tag. Welch started

continued from page 10

applying for alligator tags until she was finally drawn this year. “I was shocked I got a tag,” Welch said. “I texted Jeremy and Amy that they had to take me.” The Dosses agreed, and Welch entered an environment she had never imagined in the MobileTensaw Delta. “I had never been on a boat at night except for a cruise ship,” Welch said. “It was fabulous. It was gorgeous. It was peaceful. It’s a totally different world at night. I got to go under the bridge on the Causeway. There were all kinds of things I got to experience that I’d never done before. And we saw lots and lots of gators, but they were spooked that first night. “We didn’t get a gator, but I was ready to go again.” With the Causeway gators somewhat leery because of all the boat traffic, Welch and the Dosses moved to the upper Delta for the second round. With a little help from Matt Horton of the Upper Delta Gobblers NWTF chapter, their luck changed quickly after launching the boat near Stockton. Welch quickly hooked a gator, but she didn’t realize it at the time. Doss said, “He was pulling the boat. It’s dark, so you don’t realize he’s pulling the boat because you have no frame of reference. He was just easing us down the river.” Welch was soon up for another surprise when the alligator finally

decided to come to the surface. “When everybody put their spotlights on him, I literally backed up behind Jeremy,” she said. “I said, ‘Oh, heck, that thing is real.’” Doss said the fifth time Welch reeled the animal to the surface they got a harpoon in the gator. “He was in 36 feet of water,” Doss said. “The problem was when he came up, he wouldn’t come straight up, he came up away from the boat. We finally got him up close enough to get a harpoon in him.” Minutes later, the 10½-foot gator was dispatched and the celebration began. “I’m sure there was a lot of squealing going on,” Welch said. “I tried not to because I was with a bunch of guys, but I’m afraid to say there was some squealing. “Then I was just staring at the gator. I was thinking, ‘Wow, this is real.’ Then I got to touch the gator. I had never touched an alligator before. I had never even been to Alligator Alley and touched one of the baby alligators.” In this world of social media, it’s no surprise Welch shared her gator hunt on Facebook. Musselwhite said Welch’s story and her outreach to friends about her outdoors experiences are exactly what the AMH program is designed to do. “It’s important that we did make her a hunter, but she

Player Whatever formula the two had worked, as Pitts finished with five tackles for a loss and a pair of sacks against a formidable Stanhope Elmore offensive line. “I think (his potential) manifested itself this game,” Smith said. “The game has been slowing down to him over the last few years, and it just came out this game. It all clicked. A lot of his reads are pre-snap. He can diagnose a formation and see what is probably going to happen before the snap.” There was some doubt heading into the season about how Pitts would handle this season. Not only was he taking over the role of Ben Hendrix, who had been integral to the Wildcats for the past two years, Pitts also suffered an injury following the baseball season that kept him out of spring practice and out of the weight room over the summer. According to Smith, there was some loose cartilage found in Pitts’ shoulder after the baseball season and he underwent surgery. He was limited in the weight room over the summer for BRHS’ upper body program, but has managed to gain some muscle during the preseason and the last three weeks with the Wildcats’ in-season training. “I had to go through a lot of rehab,” Pitts said. “I also had to miss spring so that was tough, but I feel like I’m back now.”

has that ripple effect to go out and recruit new hunters,” Musselwhite said. “By creating one hunter, we may be able to recruit several more hunters.” Last year, Brian Nettles was highlighted as a newly recruited hunter through the AMH program, and Musselwhite has followed Nettles’ outdoors journey. “Since last year, Brian has killed his first buck,” Musselwhite said. “Two of his kids have killed bucks. He came to me pretty raw and had no idea what to do. Now, he’s got two kids that maybe wouldn’t be hunters if not for the program. “And Leslie shows that it’s not about killing a deer. There’s so much more to hunting than killing deer. It’s enjoying the little things you see in the woods. That’s the demographic we’re going after.” Welch said it’s hard to describe the sensory input she has experienced during her outdoors adventures. “How do you explain to someone the sound of the wind coming through the trees while you’re sitting out there in the blind?” Welch said. “I didn’t know what that sound was. I’d never been still in nature long enough to know what it was. It’s the prettiest sound I’ve ever heard. It was so calming. “It’s one of the reasons I want to experience more of

continued from page 10

the outdoors. I want to try these things I was not offered as a teenager growing up in Tuscaloosa. I want to go duck hunting, and I’m going deer hunting again.” And, rest assured, her name will also be on an application for an alligator tag again next year. The gator application process will come next year. However, applications are being accepted now for AMH events throughout the state. You must be at least 19 years old, have a valid driver’s license and be new to hunting (or have limited hunting experience) to apply for an AMH hunt. You can apply for up to three AMH events with a single application. Depending on the number of applicants, you may be limited to a single event. The AMH application must be completed online at www.outdooralabama. com/mentored-application. All AMH program correspondence is through email, so a valid email address must be included on the application. You will be notified by email if you are selected for a mentored hunt event. Email Justin.Grider@ dcnr.alabama.gov with questions about the application or selection process. Visit www.outdooralabama. com/mentored-hunting-program for more information about the AMH program including hunt dates/locations and complete instructions on how to apply.

Cliff Williams / The Outlook

Benjamin Russell’s Brett Pitts (22) tracks down Stanhope Elmore quarterback Kerenski McGhee during last week’s game. Pitts is the Outlook Player of the Week.

He certainly looks back. In addition to his physical prowess on the team, Pitts is also the linebacker who calls out plays and gets the defense aligned, which is a key position for the Wildcats. “In coach (Steve) Burkhalter’s scheme and the type of 3-4 we play, it moves according to what the offense does,” Smith said. “You always

have to have a guy in that middle that can line everybody up, and that’s why Ben was so vital. Brett has taken on that role this year.” Pitts is also a standout player for Benjamin Russell’s baseball team, typically playing shortstop and is usually one of the best hitters for the team. Although Smith complimented Pitts for his competitiveness,

calling it “obsessive” at some points, there was something else that really stood out to Smith about him. “Brett’s best quality is he’s a good teammate,” Smith said. “He cares about what happens to the guy beside him, and he’s one of those guys that makes those guys immediately around him a little bit better. He does it in baseball as well.”
