‘INTO THE WILD BLUE YONDER’ B-17 to be on display at Montgomery air show

Maddox paying Alex City visit Sept. 13

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

If you see military planes in the sky over the next few days, don’t fret. The area is not in danger as the Red Tails Over Montgomery Air Show is in town. One of the highlights of the show is the World War II era B-17 bomber “Madras Maiden.” Of the nearly 13,000 Flying Fortresses made, only 13 are still flyable and even fewer fly on a regular basis. Owned by the Liberty Foundation, the “Madras Maiden” will be part of the static display at Saturday’s air show and Lt. Col. Ray Fowler will be piloting it for those wanting a ride Sunday. Fowler has extensive flying experience but enjoys how simple and light the B-17 is and appreciates the history of the plane. “It really shows America’s industrial might at the time,” Fowler said. “They built a B-17 tip to tail in one hour. This is an excellent opportunity for people to get an up close and personal look at this historic aircraft. And get some idea of See AIR SHOW • Page 3

As the Nov. 6 midterm election grows closer and campaign season continues to ramp up, Alexander City will play host to several Democratic candidates during a party rally at The Mill Two Eighty Thursday, Sept. 13 at 5:30 p.m., including the Democrats’ nominee for Governor of Alabama. Walt Maddox, the current Maddox mayor of Tuscaloosa will be the keynote speaker at the rally, which will also feature at least five candidates in local races.

Gordon’s projected impact to be minimal for area By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

Many employees with the City of Alexander City could see a raise in the coming months thanks to the ongoing pay study and budget process. Much of the information for the pay study comes from an internal look at pay from other similar municipalities. “This is Phase 2 of the pay study,” city finance director Sandy Stanbrough told members of the Alexander City City Council in a budget hearing Tuesday. “We have already looked at Phase 1 at a council meeting.” Human resources director Kathy Railey explained where much of the information in the study came from. “We looked at the same municipalities as the Auburn study,” Railey said. “For this phase we looked at positions that were 3 percent below what was being paid for the same job in other towns.” “We found we were well below the average,” Stanbrough said. “We are recommending increasing (police) patrolman salary by 3 percent.” And law enforcement will not be the only ones seeing pay increases. “We are proposing job title changes to keep See COUNCIL • Page 3

As Tropical Storm Gordon prepares to make landfall along the Gulf Coast between Mobile Bay and the mouth of the Mississippi River, current weather forecasts show Tallapoosa County will see only minimal impact, if any, from the storm. “The storm is too far to the south and west to really have an impact,” meteorologist Jessica Winton with the National Weather Service’s Birmingham office said. “It is also a fairly weaker system.

5295 Highway 280, Alex City, AL

We haven’t been all that impressed with it in our office here.” Winton said the main impact the storm could have in central Alabama would most likely be rains lasting longer than a typical summer storm and winds up to 25 mph. Following his regular briefing, Tallapoosa County EMA Director Jason Moran agreed with this, stating there would be only minimal impact to the area from Gordon. “We are expecting rainfall up to half an inch and wind gusts between 15 and 25 (mph),” Moran said.

DEAR ABBY: My fiance is in a group chat with a dozen of his friends. They are all professional men in their 30s with families. They regularly send each other pornographic images. This includes the group “icon,” which appears to be a solicited picture of a woman’s behind with the group name written on it with permanent marker. My fiance claims the image is “photoshopped” and that he doesn’t look at the pictures. This disturbs me. I think my fiance should tell his friends not to send these images and to change the group icon. My fiance disagrees. He says it hurts no one and it’s OK to do in a private chat. I don’t think it’s so private since this is on the phones they use in public and it’s in a group chat. It also hurts women by distilling their worth to looks. Hasn’t the #MeToo movement and ongoing shift in

DEAR ABBY Advice

our culture shown it is sometimes men’s responsibility to end this “boys’ club” culture? I want my fiance to talk to his friends since they all live apart, but I want to convince him he should take a stand against this degrading attitude toward women’s images. -- TIRED OF BEHINDS DEAR TIRED: Your fiance is not going to change his friends’ behavior by doing what you are pushing him to do. I have it on good authority that this is not uncommon behavior among “guys” these days, the equivalent of old-time barber shop talk, reading men’s magazines and looking at Playmate calendars -- all of which have

been transported to the digital platform. The members of the chat may talk about sports, cars and tech gadgets as well as about women -- typical things men discuss when they’re together. Unless they are using their phones to solicit extracurricular sex, I don’t think you should be censoring their use of them. DEAR ABBY: Our 25-year-old granddaughter is engaged to be married to another woman very soon. Her parents told us she is gay a few years ago. She’s very independent and will soon have her medical degree. She has been away at college. When she’s home she visits us, but we have never been able to talk about it with her. She knows we don’t condone something we believe is wrong. We are torn between going along or con-

tinuing to ignore the issue. Can you help? -- NOT IN FAVOR IN KENTUCKY DEAR NOT IN FAVOR: If you feel you can change your granddaughter’s sexual orientation by telling her you disapprove of her being gay, forget it. It won’t work and may drive a permanent wedge between you. It might be helpful if you talk to her and let her explain that her sexual orientation isn’t something she “chose” -- it’s part of who she is: an intelligent, caring, accomplished individual who is dedicating her life to helping others. While it may be hard for you, keep an open mind and listen to what she has to say.

what it was like for those brave men who flew these airplanes in World War II. The Flying Fortress had a crew of 10. So every time a B-17 went down, it took 10 men with it. There were 58,000 bomber crewmen killed, missing or who became prisoners of war in World War II.” Fowler and crew took members of the media for a short flight Monday to show the historic plane equipped with 13 M-2 .50 caliber guns used to defend the plane during its mission of bombing targets. Crawling around the plane’s tight spaces, one can appreciate the might of the veterans who served in World War II. Ground tours of the B-17 bomber are free though the

Liberty Foundation seeks donations for the upkeep of the plane as costs are estimated at more than $5,000 per flight hour. Flights on Sunday can be purchased for $450 a person. The “Madras Maiden” will not be the only plane to take to the skies over the weekend. The ACC F-22 Demonstration Team, The Trojan Phlyers Air Show Team with T-28s, the Gary Ward MX2 Aerobatic Performance Team and the Greg Coontz “Bama Boys” J-3 Cub Comedy Flying Act are among the those scheduled to take to the skies. Many more aircraft, including the “Madras Maiden,” a P-51 Mustang, A-10 Thunderbolt, C-130, F-15, F-35, KC-135 and a

T-6 will be on display. The gates open at the Montgomery Regional Airport at 9 a.m. Saturday and aerial demonstrations start at 11 a.m. Gates close at 4 p.m. Guests can bring an empty water bottle and can be filled inside the gates at free water stations. Most of the planes will be visible over the skies

of Montgomery Friday as they practice but not without people watching. An estimated 3,000 to 5,000 students will be on hand at the airport as part of STEM classes from across the state will be visiting the airport and the airshow host the 187th Fighter Wing of the Alabama Air National Guard.

Maddox Party Interim Chair Carol Gowan said several other state and national candidates have been invited to come and be a part of the event, including Alabama Board of Education candidate Adam Jortner and third congressional district hopeful Mallory Hagan. “We are looking forward to this,” Gowan said. “I invite everyone to come out and hear Mayor Maddox’s message for the future of Alabama.” Gowan said she and the Maddox campaign worked out having this event together, bringing him to the area to explain his platform and vision for the future with area residents. “This is one of the first campaign rallies we planned to have,” Maddox campaign chair Madolyn Kirby said. “We are excited to take his message around the state. During the rally, Gowan said the local candidates will be allowed to briefly share some about their campaign though the main focus will be on Maddox. Kirby said, along with Maddox sharing his vision, there will be time for a question and answer session with the audience. “He really enjoys taking and answering questions from the public,” Kirby said, adding she could not

remember a campaign event where Maddox has not tried to take at least a few questions from those at the event. Along with his appearance at the party rally that evening, Kirby said Maddox has a busy day planned, including speaking to the Alexander City Kiwanis Club and touring the Russell Medical facility. “Medicaid expansion is a key component of Maddox’s campaign platform,” Kirby said. “He and (Alexander City Mayor Jim) Nabors spoke recently about Russell Medical, so he is looking forward to that part of his day as well.” Kirby also said the campaign has a planned stop in Lee County, but next Thursday’s event in Alexander City will be the only campaign visit in this section of Alabama. Because of this, Gowan said she and the county party are that much more excited as a result. Gowan and Kirby said they were both excited about having the event at The Mill Two Eighty,

welcoming Maddox to a brand new facility where he can share his vision. “It’s a beautiful venue and it’s easily accessible for everyone,” Gowan said. “We thought this would be the perfect place to hold it. We’re proud to show it off.” Kirby added, “We are excited to be at The

Mill Two Eighty. We are hoping for a huge turnout.” For those interested in hearing Gov. Kay Ivey speak about her plans for the future of Alabama, Tallapoosa County Republican Party Chair Denise Bates said she has reached out to the Ivey campaign, but has not received any response.

things consistent across all departments,” Stanbrough said. The issue is what an equipment operator is in one department is not along the lines of that of other departments. It also applies to office personnel as well, like administrative assistants. Stanbrough explained it would make it easier to explain pay and analyze if things are fair. She said some employees would receive raises due to being moved up a grade on the scale, while job descriptions would also have to be reworked too. The moves would mean nearly 60 city employees could see an increase in pay with the study in the second phase. The plan is also to add employees where positions have been left vacant and in some cases leaving departments only able to deal with one project at a time. Stanbrough said the staffing moves are estimated to cost the city about $300,000 a year by the time pay and benefits are considered. This is on top of the 10 to 11 employees across the city who received a pay raise in the first phase of the pay study at a city council meeting raising the minimum wage paid by the city to $10 per hour. “That is on top of the raises 77 or so will get for longevity,” she said. “The cost for the city is between $60,000 and $70,000.” Alexander City officials will also have to consider what to do with the increase in the cost of benefits. “We have already gotten word to expect a 6-percent increase in cost from Blue Cross,” Mayor Jim Nabors said. Nabors and Stanbrough said the increase means the cost of family coverage covered by the city is the equivalent of about $3 per hour. Nabors said he was reluctant to ask employees to bear the cost of the increase. “I hate to give them something extra and then take it away,” Nabors said. The council also heard about allotments to non-profits in the in the budget process. With the retirement of several department heads in the utility department, Nabors put the idea on the table of a utility superintendent to provide better service to the community which council member Eric Brown agreed with along with a city manager. The idea is it would provide the city with better continuity with changes in administration and council. “I think it (utility superintendent) along with a city manager are good ideas,” Brown said. “I know it is more money, but I think it would be better for the city.” Nabors disagreed with it costing more as it would allow some of the contracts the city has for management services to be terminated. Stanbrough also asked the council to look at the capital projects as well. She had many of the projects listed for the council, including a third fire station, but wanted input before going further. The next budget hearing is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 14 at 1 p.m. Following the budget hearing, the council reconvened for a regular meeting but was unable to meet due to a lack of a quorum. Bobby Tapley, Scott Hardy and Tommy Spraggins were present for the meeting. The next regular scheduled Alexander City City Council meeting is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 17 at 5:30 p.m.

Tallapoosa Alert a valuable resource

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” — Thomas A. Edison

Today’s

ith Tropical Storm Gordon harassing the Gulf Coast, right now is a good time to be thinking about emergency services. Hurricane season is entering its peak, and tornados, while far more common in the springtime, are a threat to spin up at any point throughout the year. Thunderstorms can cause severe damage, and heavy rainfall can lead to flooding issues on roadways and in low-lying areas. With so many potential weather issues, it is important to know what could be heading our way. Jason Moran and the Tallapoosa County EMA offers local residents a free service, Tallapoosa Alert, which alerts residents of weather news and storm updates. When the program was first rolled out, it was programmed with all the telephone numbers in the county phone directory, and these numbers signed up to receive notifications for a tornado or a severe thunderstorm. However, local residents are more than welcome to sign up additional numbers, including cell phones, to receive these alerts while on the go. Not only can Tallapoosa Alert warn residents about tornados and severe thunderstorms, but it is also customizable, allowing the public to select which weather alerts they would like to receive. There are a multitude of potential options, and those signing up can select a notification for every issue, or limit it to a select few. With the weather in New Site or Alexander City potentially being far different from the weather in Reeltown, Tallapoosa Alert can also be programmed not just for your home location, but also for your job site or your child’s school. So, in order to make sure you have plenty of ways to get weather information, no matter what is forecast to occur, sign your cell phone up for Tallapoosa Alert. It costs nothing to sign up and alerts you to severe weather anywhere. Being prepared for whatever nature cooks up is important, and the more options you have to get this information, the more prepared you can be. To sign up for Tallapoosa Alert, a link can be found on the EMA page of the Tallapoosa County website. If you have questions about the program or need help signing additional telephone numbers up, Moran and the EMA department can be reached at 256-8251078.

Daily Poll Tuesday’s question: Are you an Auburn or Alabama fan, or neither?

Darkhorses have been successful in Alabama

ince this is a gubernatorial election year, let’s reminisce about an epic governor’s race. The 1978 governor’s race is one of the classics in Alabama political lore. That governor’s race between the three heavyweights, former Governor Albert Brewer, Attorney General Bill Baxley, and Lt. Governor Jere Beasley, was expected to be titanic. All three men had last names beginning with the letter “B,” thus, the press coined the phrase “the three Bs.” The Republicans were relegated to insignificance on the gubernatorial stage. Therefore, the winner of the Democratic primary would be governor. Meanwhile, over in east Alabama, a little known former Auburn halfback named Fob James strolled into the governor’s race. Fob’s entry evoked very little interest, only curiosity as to why he would want to enter the fray against three well-known major players. Fob was exposed as a card carrying Republican but even a political novice like Fob knew he could not win as a Republican so he qualified to run as a Democrat along with the three Bs. Fob had become very wealthy by starting a successful manufacturing company in Opelika. When Fob signed up to run for governor the press wrote him off as a rich gadfly who simply chose politics, rather than golf, as his pastime. Little did they know that the fact he was rich and had a lot of time on his hands could spell trouble for the average political opponent who had to worry about fundraising and feeding their family while running a full-time campaign. Fob realized he was no political professional like the three Bs, who had

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist spent their entire political adulthood in public office, so he sought out professional advice. He had the money to think big and wanted to know who was the best political consultant in the South. It was an easy answer. Deloss Walker, a political public relations genius who lived in Memphis. His track record for electing governors of southern states was 5-0. Walker was the most renowned and expensive political guru in the country in 1977. Fob quietly sought out Walker, who at first refused to take Fob’s race. Walker’s first impression was that even he could not mold Fob into a winner against three well-financed, experienced thoroughbreds. Walker’s one condition for taking the race was Fob must do exactly what he said. He must be scripted and never deviate from Walker’s pat ads and speeches. Nobody was aware Fob had garnered the genius Walker and had already been to political school when he signed up to run for governor in the spring of 1978. Brewer, Baxley and Beasley ignored Fob. Baxley even praised him saying, “Fob would be a good governor. Too bad he’s not a serious candidate.” Those words would come back to haunt Baxley. Walker’s initial polling showed Fob actually had some name identification from being an Auburn halfback in the 1950s. It also picked up on the fact that Auburn alumni yearned for an Auburn man to be governor instead of a University of Alabama

alumnus. However, Fob’s best attribute was that he always followed Walker’s script. He traveled the state in a yellow school bus and let the three Bs tear each other up. Baxley, Beasley and Brewer spent all their time and money attacking each other with negative ads, all the while Fob ran positive ads evoking a clean image of himself. By mid-May most Alabamians had seen so many negative ads and mudslinging by the three Bs they were of the opinion that all three had probably shot their mothers in a bar fight but they liked old Fob James, even if they thought his name was “Bob James.” It was too late for the three Bs when they saw a poll about a week before the election showing Fob ahead of all three of them. Baxley refused to believe it and kept hammering at Beasley and Brewer, ignoring Fob. When the votes were counted, Fob was in first place. Baxley finished second because black voters were with him. Brewer was third and Beasley finished fifth behind State Senator Sid McDonald. Fob easily beat Baxley in the runoff. After all, what could Baxley say? He had run all over the state for three months saying Fob would make a good governor. Fob James had pulled off one of the most amazing upset victories in the history of Alabama politics. The Fob James story of the 1978 governor’s race is truly one for the record books. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist. His weekly column appears in over 60 Alabama newspapers. He served 16 years in the state legislature. Steve may be reached at www. steveflowers.us.

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are determined to accomplish whatever you need and want, yet your attention could turn to a recurring domestic or personal matter. Your intuition guides you, especially with a partner and an investment. ReĂ&#x2026;ect on the positive and relax. Tonight: Allâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well that ends well. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You make the eÉ&#x2C6;ort to touch base with a friend. You could be surprised by how much suddenly appears on your plate. Know that you can handle it all, as long as you prioritize. Do not hesitate to move an appointment or get-together. Tonight: Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to an invitation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A problem reminds you to keep a close watch on your Ă&#x201E;nances. Whatever you do, you do 100 percent. Do not allow your eÉ&#x2C6;orts to be ignored or discouraged. Be more forthright and upbeat. Do not ask anyone for a favor right now. Tonight: In the whirlwind of living. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your creativity and energy give you the ability to move through problems with ease and make the best of positive developments. Your Ă&#x2026;exibility is unusually high. If you feel the need, move an appointment. Invite friends over for some fun and games. Tonight: Paint the town red. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might sense that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the kind of control you usually do. Step back and allow others to do what they want. No matter what you say or do, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to inĂ&#x2026;uence a loved one. Take care of a personal matter sooner rather than later. Tonight: Get some extra sleep. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your diligence and willingness to follow through on priorities draw people toward you. Others notice how eÉ&#x2C6;ective you can be if you relax and go with the moment. Tap into your creativity when hitting an obstacle. Tonight: A child or loved one could test your commitment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You have not disclosed everything you know to an interested party. This person could Ă&#x201E;nd out accidentally, and you might need all of your diplomacy and charm to make peace! Buy a gift for a loved one. You do not need to go overboard; just be selective. Tonight: As you like it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Reach out to someone you care about. You might not get exactly what you want, but you will feel a lot better once you display your compassion. Your creativity puts an interesting twist on information you are hearing. Tonight: Make plans for a mini-escape as soon as you can. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You understand more than you choose to reveal. What is happening around you could take a radical twist if you are not careful. Finances might be involved. Be careful to read all the Ă&#x201E;ne print, as there easily could be a misrepresentation. Tonight: Check your budget before going out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have become changeable, but in a slow, decisive manner. Others could be testing your limits and making sure you really mean what you say. Be patient as they try diÉ&#x2C6;erent techniques to change your response. Make a point of visiting with a loved one. Tonight: Out with a friend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Dive into a project or clear out some important calls. You might be in the mood to overthink an issue, which is not going to create change immediately. Instead, toss yourself into your life and perhaps schedule a massage. You will feel more upbeat later. Tonight: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t push yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You appear to be an endless resource to many people. You could be unusually dynamic with a project that means a lot to you. You hit a roadblock when dealing with a longterm goal. Walk around the issue! Tonight: A friend could rain on your parade -- if you allow him or her to.

The Outlook

Stephensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; grandson Nathan earns Eagle Scout rank

oll Tide Roll. A 51-14 victory for the first game of this season, the Alabama football team deserves a big congratulations for the victory over Louisville. Yes, both of our Alabama college teams won their first games on Saturday. It is a good start to the season to â&#x20AC;&#x153;keep the boys spirits up,â&#x20AC;? even though coaches always seem to want more, and better plays. The Equality United Methodist Church is celebrating its 131st Homecoming this Sunday. There will be no Sunday school, but a music service begins at 10 a.m. featuring The Colemans. The regular worship service will be at 11 a.m. with more great music and an inspiring message from retired Pastor Lee Roy Shaw. Yes, there will be a covered dish luncheon in the Fellowship Hall to follow. Visitors are welcome to join the regulars and those who are coming home. The church is located at 281 Highway 259, about a block from U.S. Highway 9 in Equality.

ROSIE MORGAN Columnist Wayne and Neta Stephens, who have the beautiful Victorian home just south of the Coosa County line are also members of the Equality United Methodist Church, and I think they must be about the proudest of grandparents just about now over Nathanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent achievements. This Stephensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; family lives in Jonesboro, Arkansas, and visit locally as they can. It is such a blessing when parents can always be so proud of their children, as the Stephens here are of theirs. Their son Michael and his wife Jennifer have done a fabulous job with their two children. Nathan is now 16 and has been in the Scouts since he was a young boy. Nathan is certainly an overachiever as recognized by his leader, during the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Court of Honorâ&#x20AC;? presentation on Aug.

25, when he became an Eagle Scout, the highest honor in the Scouts. Nathan did so many â&#x20AC;&#x153;firstsâ&#x20AC;? to reach his goal of Eagle Scout, for which 21 patches are required. He earned and received 52 patches. Scout law is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once an Eagle Scout, always an Eagle Scout.â&#x20AC;? They will go above and beyond what is necessary. Their heart is with others for the betterment of fellow man, their community and country. That says an awful lot about a young man who reaches Eagle Scout status with such gusto.

We heard a huge canon-like boom 9:15 p.m. Saturday. It was very dark, so I hope they got the deer they had in their sights and

he was not just injured in the woods. We also hear lots of target practice, where shots are close together in repetition. I must admit, I have noticed some trees starting to change leaf colors and others dropping their leaves already, but when it stays in the high 90s, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still summer to me. The flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds of today, so remember to save some of yours for next spring. Until next week, keep smiling. Rosie Morgan is a community columnist for The Outlook.

Keke Hughley has explosive performance By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

After coming off an injury that caused Keke Hughley to miss more than half of Reeltown’s season a year ago, the Rebel faithful were somewhat waiting with bated breath to see how he would return for his senior campaign. In Week 0, Reeltown was pleasantly Hughley surprised when Hughley had more than 100 receiving yards from the tailback position — but

90 percent of those were negated due to penalties, so the stat sheet didn’t show that surprise. In Week 1, however, Hughley’s stats jumped off the page, despite having a 50-yard touchdown called back due to a penalty. Hughley’s breakout game earned him the honor of the Outlook Player of the Week. “I was just running hard and keeping my feet moving,” Hughley said. “That win was See PLAYER • Page 11

Reeltown’s Tre Tre Hughley helps his team warm up despite his injury during last week’s game against Dadeville.

Tre Tre Hughley suffers major knee injury By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Just when Reeltown thought it would see the return of its three-headed running back monster, as Keke Hughley came back from last year’s seasonending injury, things came to a crashing halt. On the Rebels’ very first offensive play of the season, Keke’s brother, Tre Tre Hughley, suffered an excruciatingly similar injury. “The very first play on offense at Bullock County, we were running an outside run and he was reading the flow of the defense,” Reeltown coach Matt Johnson said. “He stuck his foot in the ground to cut back, and he planted to cut back and his knee just popped right out. It was just all in the cut and reaction; his knee just didn’t take it.” Just like Keke’s injury a year ago, it wasn’t based on physical contact or an especially aggressive tackle; Tre Tre’s knee injury was just a freak accident. Hughley underwent an MRI last week and will have surgery Friday. Johnson confirmed Tuesday Hughley will be out for the majority of the See INJURY • Page 11

Benjamin Russell joins ASWA top 10 Reeltown moves up to No. 3 in Class 2A By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Kenneth Booone / The Outlook

Benjamin Russell’s Keedon Young (21) stretches out for some extra yardage against Shamari Simmons, of Clay Central. After the Wildcats’ win Friday, they moved into the top 10 in the ASWA rankings released Tuesday night.

After a pair of big wins, Benjamin Russell’s football team has moved into the top 10 in the Class 6A rankings, according to the Alabama Sports Writers Association poll released Tuesday. BRHS has wins against Beauregard and Clay Central, both of which are 5A but traditionally strong football programs, under its belts. As for Reeltown, the Rebels just keep moving up. They are now ranked No. 3 in Class 2A with only Fyffe and Luverne, who flip flopped for the top two spots, ahead of them. The only other big changes in the ASWA poll this week came in Classes 7A and 1A. In 7A, See POLL • Page 11

he Auburn Tigers defeated the Washington Huskies, 21-16, Saturday in front of a considerably pro-Auburn crowd at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Over the last several years, the Tigers have compiled some ugly statistics against ranked opponents away from Jordan Hare Stadium. These particular numbers have been falling from the mouths of pundits lately like slobber from a pack of rabid dogs. Auburn is 1-7 against ranked opponents in a season opener since 1952. Auburn is 0-9 in its last games against AP ranked opponents away from home. Blah, blah, blah… Well, someone get the people at ESPN a paper towel to wipe their chins, because Auburn has now defeated a highly-ranked opponent away from home in a season opener. We won’t truly know how impressive this victory over the Huskies is until the season plays out. However, I feel quite comfortable in saying Auburn is a very good team with a very good coach. Obviously, the list of things Auburn needs to improve on is a long one. The Tigers struggled to run the football between the tackles which is Gus Malzahn’s breadand-butter. That affects everything else the offense is trying to do. The offensive line was a question mark coming into the game and it got pushed around at times but wasn’t nearly as bad as some have made out. Washington was credited with three tackles for loss and two sacks Saturday. In last year’s opener, Auburn gave up eight tackles for loss and three sacks. The Huskies were the No. 6 team in the country. Georgia Southern won two games in the entirety of 2017. Of course, who could forget the debacle against Clemson in Week 2? That Auburn offensive line gave up 14 tackles for loss and 11 sacks to Dabo Sweeney’s Tigers. Don’t get me wrong, the offensive line has miles to go before it sleeps, but I believe it’s already off to a better start than a season ago. The most disappointing aspect of Saturday’s game to me was Auburn’s inability to consistently put the ball in the end zone. The Tigers seemingly moved up and down the field at will in the first half, but managed only one touchdown — then missed on an ill-advised two-point conversion. Five trips inside the red zone netted only two touchdowns for the game. That clearly needs to improve with LSU on the horizon. It goes back to Auburn’s difficulty running the football. Red zone opportunities are precious and must be capitalized upon. The other disappointing and unacceptable part of Auburn’s performance were the 12 penalties for 111 yards. That does not include the four penalties that Washington declined, by the way. The Tigers led the SEC last season with 4.5 penalties per game. I’m not quite sure what in the wide, wide world of sports was going on, but far more discipline must be shown in the future. We’ll just consider it an aberration for now. Auburn has two weeks to iron out all the kinks and figure out if any significant changes need to be made. LSU proved Sunday it is an extremely talented team. It’s going to be a good old-fashioned war and survival of the fittest Sept. 15. Andy Graham is a regular columnist for The Outlook.

Horseshoe Bend falls in semifinals at Lincoln tourney DAR, in a 25-20, 25-21 victory, Carlisle finished with five digs and two kills, while Kate Lewis had six assists. St. Clair County was a challenge for the Generals, who won the first set, 27-25, before falling 25-16. But Horseshoe Bend eked out a win in the decisive third set, 15-11. Carlisle had a huge effort with 10 kills and 11 digs, and Lewis added 10 assists. Horseshoe Bend ultimately met its maker against Lincoln, 25-14, 23-25, 15-7. “We were the only team that beat them in a set,” HBS coach Julie Turner said. “Compared to (our first match), we’ve really improved.

Horseshoe Bend’s volleyball team was nearly flawless on Saturday at the Lincoln Invitational. The Generals picked up four straight victories before falling to the host Lincoln, which eventually won the whole tournament, in the gold bracket semifinal. Horseshoe Bend (7-2) opened the tourney with a 25-16, 25-16 win over Cherokee County. Caly Carlisle stuffed the stat sheet with six kills and three aces, while Maggie Wood smacked seven kills. Horseshoe Bend then dominated Cornerstone, 25-11, 25-12. Jahia Jennings stood out, notching three kills. Against

Kate Lewis has done a very good job considering she had only practiced with two setters, but now she’s doing single duty by herself.” Libero Abby Cheatam also had a strong effort throughout the tournament, picking up four digs against Cornerstone, six versus Cherokee County and seven against Lincoln. “Abby is doing very well in the backrow as our libero,” Turner said. “She did really well all weekend. She’s really stepped up and found her niche.” Horseshoe Bend hosts Central Coosa on Thursday.

game of the season last year, but since returning to the Rebel lineup during the offseason, Hughley hasn’t seemed to miss a beat. “Now I feel like I’m back 100 percent but even a little bit better and a little bit stronger,” Hughley said. “It was just like a breakout game for me. I needed to show what I had after coming back from the injury.” With brother Tre Tre Hughley now sitting out on the sidelines with a knee injury of his own, Reeltown will be calling Keke’s number more often, but he’s ready for that pressure. “Keke is very explosive,” Johnson said. “He’s always had speed, but I think last week he really showed his durability and strength as an athlete.” As the Rebels head into region play this week, Hughley mirrored his coach’s sentiments about getting better every day.

very important for us; it was like a championship game. It’s always a rivalry for us, and it’s been hard for Reeltown to beat Dadeville. It meant a lot.” It wasn’t necessarily Hughley’s stats themselves that stood out to Reeltown coach Matt Johnson. It wasn’t the fact Hughley racked up 137 yards or he did it on just 10 carries. It wasn’t the fact Hughley had a pair of touchdowns. The most impressive part to Johnson was Hughley’s brute strength. “We don’t keep up with yards after contact, but if we did, his yards after contact last week was very impressive,” Johnson said. “Both of his long runs, he took some pretty big hits that really didn’t affect his gain on those particular plays. Especially the long one going to the south end zone, he broke about five or six tackles on the way there.” Hughley tore his MCL during the fourth

In addition to being one of Reeltown’s top running backs, Tre Tre Hughley (24) has also been a key part of the Rebel defense.

Injury season, if not all of it. “It really depends on the process,” Johnson said. “There’s a chance that he could be back for the playoffs.” Hughley led Reeltown’s offense a year ago, finishing the season with 1,043 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns on the ground. He was also a key part of the Rebel defense. “Our team has rallied around him,” Johnson said. “His brother Keke returned this year from a similar injury, and he’s full speed, along with Cameron Faison. So they’re carrying Tre Tre’s weight right now. Tre Tre has a great mindset so far, and I hope he’ll continue that.” Reeltown has installed a completely new defensive scheme, not just based on Hughley’s injury but also some other nagging injuries and depth issues at linebacker. And Johnson is hoping Tre Tre will have a strong support system from his older brother, who went through the same thing this time last year.

continued from page 10

“They’re really close and tight knit,” Johnson said. “There’s definitely some advice that Keke has that he can give him because they’re so similar. That’ll be a strong support system for him.” And while Reeltown might miss a beat due to Hughley’s injury — although it didn’t seem like it, as Reeltown demolished Dadeville, 34-6, last week in his absence — what’s really hard for Johnson and the Rebels to swallow is what Hughley himself will miss. “It does affect us as a team, but that’s not near as important as him,” Johnson said. “Seeing the work and perseverance and things he’s done this offseason, he’s grown up so much and matured so much. He’s one of those example leaders on our team. Every sprint, everything we did, he did full speed this offseason. “I hate it more for him, way more, than for us. Of course it changes us. Of course we hate to lose him as a player, but not near as much as I hate it for him.”

Beat procrastination by updating your direct deposit info early

ept. 6 is National Fight Procrastination Day. With our busy lives, it is easy to fall into that cycle of constantly postponing some tasks because of other things we need to address right now. This may be true for you when it comes to changing your payment method for Social Security benefits. Unfortunately, procrastinating on reporting changes can lead to delayed payments, resulting in undue hardship with bills and living expenses. Ultimately, it’s less hassle – and less stressful – if you report a direct deposit change as soon as it occurs. How can you change your direct deposit information with Social Security? The most convenient way is by creating a my Social Security account online at www.socialsecurity. gov/myaccount. Once you create your account, you can update your bank information without leaving the comfort of your home. Another way to change your direct deposit is by calling Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) to make the change over the phone. If you prefer to speak to someone in-person, you can visit your local Social Security office with the necessary information. What exactly will Social Security need to make the direct deposit change? Because we are committed to protecting your personal information, we need some form of identification to verify who you are. If you are online, we verified your identity when you

KYLLE’ D. MCKINNEY Alabama Social Security initially created your my Social Security account. All you need to do is log in at www.socialsecurity. gov/signin with your secure username and password to gain instant access to your information. If you call Social Security, we will ask identifying questions to ensure we are speaking to the right person. If you visit the office, you will need to bring a driver’s license or some form of ID with you. Once we have identified you are the correct person and are authorized to make changes on the Social Security record, all we need is the routing number, account number, and type of account established. We don’t ask for a voided check, nor do we obtain verification from the bank. Therefore, you should be sure you are providing accurate information to us. The day of the month you report the direct deposit change makes all the difference. Though the exact date varies each month, generally, you will need to report changes by the 15th to see the effect on the next check. When the 15th falls on the weekend or a holiday, the cutoff is usually the previous business day. For example, if you switched banks or have a new account in September, you will need to provide the new information to Social Security by Sept. 14 to receive your next

payment in the new account. If you don’t report this change to us until Sept. 28, your next payment will go into the old account. Because you may be unsure if your direct deposit change will affect your next payment, we highly recommend that you do not close the old bank account until you have seen your first Social Security deposit in the new bank account. That way, you can feel secure you will receive your benefits on time, regardless of when the change was reported to Social Security. Waiting until you see the deposit in your new account also gives you the extra peace of mind that we processed the change correctly. The first step in fighting procrastination is increased awareness. Knowing how easy it is to report a direct deposit change, what information to report and when can encourage you to get in touch with Social Security at the earliest possible moment. In addition, making sure we know about a change early ensures we help make the transition as smooth as possible. When you have to report changes, be sure to contact us or visit us online at www. socialsecurity.gov/ myaccount. Social Security always strives to put you in control by providing the best experience and service no matter where, when or how you decide to do business with us. Kylle’ D. McKinney is a public affairs specialist with Alabama Social Security.
