Alex City budget includes $8 million in capital projects, staff increases
Raising money for the school, the faculty and staff at Radney Elementary School are gearing up for the fifth annual Radney Wildcat Dash 5K and fun run to be held Oct. 27. The 5K will begin at 7:30 a.m., followed by the 1-mile fun run at 8:30 a.m., according to Radney teacher Lisa Dark. “It will follow the same route as last year,” Dark said. “The 5K goes down to the airport, while the 1-mile goes around the hospital.” A number of those who have taken part in the 5K in the past say it is a challenging course with the way the road rises and falls between Radney and the airport, according to Dark. Faculty and staff members hear a multitude of good things about the event from See DASH • Page 3
arrest was not needed. “We cannot stop all crime, some are just crimes of opportunity,” Turner said. “To have a robbery and have someone in custody about six hours later, shows we have some really good police officers and investigators here. Our closure rate is really good. You wish you could stop all these nonsense robberies and breaking and enterings, but being able to catch people in a short period of time ought to deter crime.”

In an effort to improve infrastructure in Alexander City, the city council will dip into reserves to make capital improvements across the city in the 2019 budget. “We are making an investment in the future of Alexander City,” council president Tommy Spraggins said. “The capital was cut in half from what we started with. There was a lot of hard work that went into it.” The budget as discussed will have $8 million in capital projects although the council did discuss cutting $1 million there but it would have been projects that either would have come before the council to amend the budget or be in the next budget cycle. It also includes staffing increases See BUDGET • Page 9 Cliff Williams / The Outlook

Binford Morgan turns in his radio and pager to fire chief David Berry Monday evening.
Binford Morgan and Will York say they have retired from the Camp Hill Fire Department but they have one last duty before it’s official. “We’ve got them calling themselves retired,” Camp Hill Fire Department chief David Berry said. “They only problem is they forgot they had one thing left to do. If they are going to retire, they have to recruit their replacement.” Morgan has been with the department for decades but cannot recall how long outside of it just being the first couple of years he came to town. “It has been a long time – I have no idea,” Morgan said. “We have been living here in Camp Hill for 53 years. Hollis Moore is the one who got me to sign up.” The newcomer to town, York joked with Morgan about what they could do now they have turned in their fire pagers and radios. See FIREFIGHTERS • Page 10

DEAR ABBY: I’m 41 with two adult kids and my youngest, who is almost 15. For the last eight months I have been dating a woman with two kids -- one is nearly 10 and the other is 4. We have a lot in common. We get along great, and I really like her. The downside is, I’m having a hard time accepting starting over and raising kids that young. I have been living alone with no kids full time for 11 years. She has a flexible schedule, and her kids spend 50 percent of the time with their dad. I know one day we will have to move in together, and I’m not sure I’m comfortable with it. -- DREADING IT IN ILLINOIS DEAR DREADING IT: I’m a strong believer in communication.

Our trip will be a visit to his old Army buddy, an eight-hour drive away in Maine. I have met his friends three times in my life. He is comfortable with them. I can talk about only so much with them, then nothing more. My husband says this is a fair trip because I always choose the destinations of most of our vacations. It will be a six-day trip, and we must take our chocolate lab with us. What do you think
DEAR ABBY: Is it OK for senior citizens to order off of the kids’ menu? Friends of ours have recently begun to do this even though the menus state “6 and under, please.” They are not poor and live a comfortable lifestyle. The waiter usually just looks the other way and allows them to do it. I find it embarrassing. I feel they are cheating the business and
the server. -- BY THE BOOK IN OHIO DEAR BY THE BOOK: As people grow older, they burn fewer calories than younger, more active folks do. Their appetites sometimes shrink to accommodate it. Many senior couples compensate for it by splitting a meal so they won’t waste food. Not knowing your friends, I can’t guess why they order off the children’s menu. However, as long as the server doesn’t mind and receives a generous enough tip to compensate, I don’t think anyone is being cheated. Management wouldn’t allow it if it hurt the business.

During the 1-mile fun run, participants are encouraged to wear Halloween costumes and, at various points along the course, will be able to trick-or-treat at pre-designated stations. In keeping with the Halloween aspect of the race, Dark said Radney principal Dr. John Prestridge dressed up last year like a dinosaur but was keeping his costume for this year’s dash a secret. Currently, there are 45 participants registered to run Oct. 27, according to Dark. Among the participants is Jim Pearson principal Jamie Forbus, a runner Dark says many of the other racers try to beat during the 5K. “Some of the participants are his former students, so they want to try to beat him,” she said. As a fundraiser, all proceeds from the race will go into the school’s general fund. In preparation for the fun run, Dark said the teachers at Radney donate bags of candy to supply the trick-or-treat stations, many of them work during the race and one or two have currently signed up to run in the race.

Art a great way for students to discover talents while learning
A
s the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts prepares for its “Views of the South: Photographs from the Do Good Fund” show, it is also getting set for a showcase of student art from around the state in a special wing of the museum entitled “Do Good, Make Art.” Students from both Stephens and Radney Elementary schools had some of their art submitted to be judged and potentially selected for the show. The four grades of students produced a wide range of artworks in a multitude of mediums, including drawings, pottery, paintings and much more. Whether participating in a contest like this has awoken the previously hidden talents in these students, leading them to become the next Frida Kahlo or Pablo Picasso, or they simply find they enjoy it while taking another path in life, engaging with the arts in this manner is a valuable experience. Art is an inspiring way to engage with others and share thoughts and ideas. By having the students participate in this art contest, they had the opportunity to have a little fun making their own art pieces. Also, by having it tie in with the theme of highlighting the issue of poverty in the state, it helped them learn more about the struggle many quietly face on a daily basis. Educational experiences can be hidden in any number of places and the “Do Good, Make Art” contest was no exception. When the “Views of the South” exhibit opens Saturday, there will be plenty of student art to hang in the museum along with that of professional artists. Among some of the potential selections are many pieces made by Alexander City students. Whether or not they are selected to be in the show, it is a good thing to see these students get the chance to express themselves artistically and learn about a key issue in the process.

e can debate all day about Judge Brett Kavanaugh and Professor Christine Blasey Ford and whether or not a sexual assault occurred when they were both back in high school. But what is most disturbing is the growing number of people, even women, who are excusing such behavior, or willing to overlook it in this confirmation battle. A panel of women on CNN discussed the issue of whether Mr. Kavanaugh forced himself upon Ms. Ford at a party when they were in high school. Some on that panel sought to defend Kavanaugh for his actions. “‘I mean, we’re talking about a 15-year-old girl, which I respect. I’m a woman. I respect. But we’re talking about a 17-year-old boy in high school with testosterone running high. Tell me, what boy hasn’t done this in high school?’ Gina Sosa asked on the CNN panel when asked her thoughts on the accusation.” “‘How can we believe the word of a woman of something that happened 36 years ago? This guy has an impeccable reputation. There is nobody that has spoken ill will about him,’ Lourdes Castillo de la Peña said on the panel.

A smear, pure and simple
enate Democrats seeking to derail Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination knew they had a problem. In other prominent cases of the #MeToo era, multiple victims had come forward to corroborate each other’s stories and present a pattern of predatory behavior. But in Kavanaugh’s case, not only was there no corroboration for Christine Blasey Ford’s accusations, no other women had come forward to accuse him of misconduct. Democrats needed another victim. Enter, Deborah Ramirez, a former Yale classmate of Kavanaugh’s. She apparently didn’t want to accuse Kavanaugh of exposing himself to her at a college party, but as Ronan Farrow, co-author of the New Yorker article with Jane Mayer in which Ramirez makes her stunning accusation, admitted on ABC News’ “Good Morning America,” she “came forward because Senate Democrats began looking at this claim. She did not flag this for those Democrats.” Why didn’t she want to accuse Kavanaugh? Maybe it’s because she wasn’t sure it was him. Ramirez, the New Yorker said, was “hesitant to speak publicly, partly because her memories contained gaps because she had been drinking at the time of the alleged incident,” the article said. She told the magazine that during the party “she was on the floor, foggy and slurring her words.” The New York Times, which also looked into her allegations, writes that before coming forward, Ramirez “contacted former Yale classmates asking if they recalled the incident and told some of them that she could not be certain Mr. Kavanaugh was the one who exposed himself.” But according to The New Yorker, “after six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney, Ramirez said that she felt confident enough of her recollections to say

Reaching more than 22,000 households in Tallapoosa and Elmore counties The Dadeville Record
PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might have an unexpected reaction to a Ă„nancial issue. This matter could launch a quarrel that is diɉcult to move away from. The pressure builds. Choose to be active and positive. Extremes mark a decision you make. Tonight: Pay bills before making plans. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Notice that your anger level rises for no apparent reason. You could discover that you are picking up on a boss’s annoyance, perhaps with you. Focus on what you want, and don’t allow this feeling to take over. Give yourself a day before you revisit the issue. Tonight: Wherever you want to be. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Don’t worry about making a presentation until you are ready. Someone could be reaching out to connect with you. If this person seems hot under the collar, think before responding. You can choose not to react. Listen and sympathize instead of making judgments. Tonight: Lie low. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Touch base with someone you Ă„nd to be critical and/or diɉcult. Just listen. You need to know where this person stands and what his or her opinions are. Know that you do not need to let his or her negativity aɈect you. Make it OK to walk away for now. Tonight: Join a friend. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Follow through on what needs to happen. You can’t help but Ă…ourish. Your leadership somehow puts a signature on any project you take on. Others appreciate what you do, with the exception of a loved one who wants more of your time. Tonight: At a favorite restaurant. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You beam, and others respond in kind. Be as forthright as possible. Discussions seem to be animated and full of information. Listen well. Use caution against overindulgence. You will be a lot more upbeat than you have been. Tonight: Make a purchase that you have been
considering. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) One-on-one relating makes a diɈerence. You could feel as if someone would prefer to do what he or she wants rather than be reasonable. You like your indulgences too, so you can understand where this person is coming from. Tonight: Go along with a friend’s suggestion. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Being sought out by others reminds you that you are cared about. You can be your own worst enemy. Open up to a fast change on the homefront. Touch base with a loved one at a distance whom you care about. Be more direct in a conversation. Tonight: Dinner for two. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Pace yourself, and don’t allow pressure from a neighbor or loved one to get the best of you. Try not to lose your temper when facing others’ demands. Open up to a new idea that could help you get past the doldrums you often face. Tonight: Head home after running some errands. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are passionate about whatever comes your way, especially if it involves another person. Your creativity soars as a result, and you Ă„nd unusual yet eɈective solutions. You might be inclined to take a risk or overspend. Proceed with care. Tonight: Start the weekend early. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be fuming, so be careful about expressing your feelings while in this state of mind. Look within yourself for more answers about what is irritating you. Read between the lines. After you have done a personal inventory, start a conversation. Tonight: Till the wee hours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your feelings come out despite an attempt to sit on them. You could be tired and somewhat irritable. Without being touchy, have a long-overdue talk. Keep the door of communication open. If you are angry, do not hit below the belt. Discuss your feelings. Tonight: At a favorite haunt.

The Outlook
Budget
continued from page 1
including raises as part of the internal pay study and adding employees costing $385,000 in salaries and another $134,000 in benefits. It also includes $150,000 for tourism. The budget will likely be on the agenda for the Oct. 1 meeting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the first time in recent years a budget will be passed on time. The idea of spending reserves to improve the infrastructure instead finding other revenues is something some think should be done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should be spending ongoing revenue for ongoing costs,â&#x20AC;? city finance director Sandy Stanbrough said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we are together on philosophy, we are in a position to better manage finances.â&#x20AC;? The proposed budget will have a deficit of $5.1 million with the shortfall coming from reserves and some capital projects not coming to fruition in the next year. The idea is having a more realistic budget, managing when projects start, hiring to create efficiencies and not having to come back to the council to amend the budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not be cheap on the front end and come back and ask for more money,â&#x20AC;? council member Eric Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do that on estimating jobs. I rather come in high on the start and come in under budget. I like thinking itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be expensive, than being overly optimistic.â&#x20AC;? Mayor Jim Nabors believes the city can manage things do well, just like it has done for the last two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So far this administration has not had a deficit,â&#x20AC;? Nabors said. Much of the budget in capital projects could be considered maintenance that has been put off for years creating a more costly solution now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of this deficit is infrastructure,â&#x20AC;? Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Landfill is needed. Sewer needs it and there is general maintenance. The bulk of it is reinvesting. It is a big business. You have to reinvest in the business.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is things that have to be done,â&#x20AC;? council member Buffy Colvin said. A potential amendment to the budget could already be in the works for next year. Currently the internal pay study group is looking at the fire department. With the uniqueness of the department

compared to other cities, raises are likely due. The situation is hard to put on paper with no comparables, but council members seem to be in agreement something needs to be done to help retain firefighters. Currently, the fire department runs fire, EMS and transfers. EMS and transfers have resulted in thousands of runs per year that other departments do not have. Council member Bobby Tapley questioned adding positions with a budget deficit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is hard for me to add positions when I know we are over budget,â&#x20AC;? Tapley said. Other council members believe if they truly balanced the budget it would create a similar situation next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody wants to see a deficit budget,â&#x20AC;? council member Scott Hardy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it, we will be having the same conversation again next year.â&#x20AC;?

“With retirement from the fire department, you can travel,” York said laughingly. The two never received a penny for their valiant efforts. What seems like a lot of free time for Morgan and York is already taken up. “I have a business now,” York said. “It is going OK. It is paying all the utility bills. It is tough keeping up with taxes. There is city tax, county tax, state tax. I have file monthly. I keep everything on paper.” York also served as a council member for Camp Hill for two years and served four years with the fire department. For Morgan, it just means one less thing to do and maybe some extra sleep but he is still busy. “Well, I am going to do what I have always done,” he said. “I have been in ditches with my son. We put in septic systems, move dirt with a dozer and backhoe. I am not changing much. Just giving up a little. I enjoyed it, but I am about to be 79 years old. It’s time.” Morgan also helps his son with a pumpkin patch and farm. Morgan recalled a fire he would never forget. “They burned the bridge at Slaughters Crossing,” he said. “We went over there and put out the fire. We went back over to check on things. We had put water on the bank. It must of have been 75 feet down. I went down the embankment thinking there was no slack in the hose. Well, I was wrong and went sliding. I was covered in mud.” Neither were around for the most recent save of the Camp Hill Volunteer Fire Department – a puppy named Tomato. Tomato’s owner was at Monday’s monthly fire department meeting to thank those who saved her beloved pet. “I was out one evening and came home about 9:30 one night,” Heidi Carroll said. “I was calling my dogs Big George and little Tomato. Well, Big George came up but I didn’t see little Tomato. I was walking around and turned around to start back inside when I saw Tomato. He was stuffed inside the bracing of a super narrow and tough appliance dolly. In play with George he stuck his head, shoulders and one arm through the dolly. He started to swell. There was no way he was going to get out. I was just in a panic. I just called 911 and they came out. They employed the ‘Jaws of Life.’” Volunteers used the equipment to cut the bracing of the dolly allowing the puppy to be freed. “Within minutes he was himself and playing again,” Carroll said. “Chief Berry did not laugh me out of town.” But Berry had to change his story for York and Morgan before the night could end. “Y’all can retire,” he said. “But remember first you have to get two replacements each.”

Rookie jumps onto scene
Tiger Woods is back ... sort of
T
iger’s back. Professional golf’s franchise personality scored a win for the ages Sunday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, completing a remarkable comeback. Yep … he’s the TOUR champion, beating the likes of Rory, Rickie, Jason, Dustin and Justin in the esteemed Playoff Finale. For what it’s worth, Jordan Spieth didn’t qualify for the tournament. But is Tiger really back? When the sun set on the 18th green, Tiger sat atop golf’s throne and hundreds bowed before his highness. The mob scene following Woods up the 18th fairway was surreal — as if Tiger rode a donkey to the elevated green with fans bowing and waving palm branches in his honor (OK, maybe that’s a bit dramatic). In a sense, Tiger is back because nobody else draws this type of adoration. Golf’s golden child was victorious for the first time in five years as fans were yearning, longing, begging for this glorious outcome. The result was an outburst of emotion that was not contained by the thin, little ropes separating spectators from East Lake’s lush fairways. It was a celebration of overcoming injury, overcoming self-doubt and defying age. Tiger’s no pup anymore. To the average fan, myself included, that’s what makes Tiger’s story so incredible. Good for Tiger. Tiger Woods is again the No. 1 name in golf. In that respect, he is back. He reigns supreme in fandom and popularity. But in another respect, Tiger is not back and he never will be. Look, in his prime, Tiger Woods was practically unbeatable. When he needed to sink the clutch putt on 18, he did. When he needed to make it as dramatic as possible, well, he did that too. Tiger won. Yeah, sometimes Phil would sneak in there, or Vijay Singh, but if Tiger Woods did not win – it was an upset. Those days are in the past. He might win a few more times, but he won’t dominate week to week. The competition is much better now. Brooks Koepka, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Johnson, Rose and Jon Rahm are also titans of the game. Tiger might win a few more See MCADORY • Page 12

Statistics: Tidwell had four catches for 74 yards and a touchdown and also pulled down an interception in Horseshoe Bend’s first victory of the season.
Tidwell was given the chance to jump off the stat sheet, as the offensive line in front of himself and quarterback Nywanski Russell gave them a lot more time. Tidwell had a pair of catches
that went for 20-plus yards. After a pair of somewhat fluky touchdowns where the Generals had short yardage, Tidwell grabbed a touchdown pass to give Horseshoe Bend See TIDWELL • Page 12

tournaments — and he’s playing like he will — but he would have to share golf’s throne with others who are equally as capable of winning green jackets or Wannamaker Trophies. For Tiger to be the most dominant player on the tour again, it would take a divine intervention. Considering his reception at East Lake, some have already anointed him with such power.

a commanding 22-0 lead just before halftime. A 50-yard pass from Russell to Lupe Mancillas got the Generals into enemy territory, and Tidwell took advantage two plays later with an eightyard receiving score. “I think we were just executing better on offense, and me and Nywanski have a close connection,” Tidwell said. Tidwell also grabbed an interception that led directly to another Generals score. He picked off a Central Coosa pass just inside the red zone and ran it back to the Cougars 9. Two plays later, Russell scored again. “(On the interception), I just heard everyone yelling ‘Ball!’” Tidwell said. “I just started looking up and around, and the ball magically floated into my hands.” Tidwell finished with four catches for a total of 74 yards. “We had a chance to throw him the ball this week; that was the biggest thing,” Averett said. “We knew he was going to be a good receiver. He’s a big body, but we just haven’t had the chance to get it to him yet. He’s going to be a major part of the offense and defense (for the next three years). He really already is.”

Southern Miss at Auburn: This Auburn team is regressing rather than improving. Last Saturday’s 34-3 win over Arkansas was downright ugly as the Tigers struggled mightily to run the football. Odd that folks are upset over a 31-point win, but … Moving forward, this is very concerning considering much stronger opponents await. If Auburn can’t keep Arkansas defenders out of the backfield, then there’s no telling what will happen against Georgia or Alabama. Southern Miss might just be Southern Miss, but you’ve gotta take the Golden Eagles seriously. I sat through two Southern Miss wins at Jordan-Hare Stadium in the 1990s. Bad days, folks. Southern Miss has found success passing the ball. Auburn has had trouble stopping the pass. Just get the win and get ready for Mississippi State. Auburn 27, Southern Miss 17. Louisiana-LaFayette at Alabama: If you’re looking to score a cheap Alabama football ticket, this is your game. As of Monday afternoon, single tickets could be found on StubHub for $14. I’m guessing they’re even less by now. Tide 64, Cajuns 10.
