Lawsuit claims Alex City operates ‘debtors’ prison’ Southern Poverty Law Center claims residents are offered no arrangements and jailed immediately if total owed is not paid in full By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

A lawsuit filed Tuesday by the Montgomery-based Southern Poverty Law Center alleges that Alexander City “has maintained a modem-day debtors’ prison” that targets the poor, keeping residents in jail because they are unable to immediately pay fines and court costs. The suit, which was filed in Middle District Federal Court North Division, lists the city and Alexander City Police Chief Willie Robinson as defendants. The filing seeks an injunction to immediately halt the practice and the award of possible compensatory and punitive damages.

A hearing on the motion for preliminary injunction has been scheduled in this case for Sept. 25 at 9 a.m. before Judge William Keith Watkins. City officials received notice of the suit late Monday afternoon and City Attorney Larkin Radney said he had not had time to read it in its entirety or discuss it with Mayor Charles Shaw or Robinson. “I would at least like the opportunity to read it first, but as in most cases, the city will have no comment until any litigation is complete,” Radney said. SPLC Deputy Legal Director Sam Brooke explained the practice that led to Tuesday’s filing. “The way it has been for a number of years is that a person appears in municipal court, they are assessed a fine and court costs,” Brooke said. “From there they

are taken into a room where police are waiting. They are asked if they are able to take care of the entire amount at that time. If they can’t, they are immediately arrested and hauled downstairs to jail. “In most places, the costs and fines are probated, allowing a payment plan. But for at least 200 people over the last two years in Alexander City, that was never an option. That, we believe, is a violation of basic civil rights. ” The suit alleges that instead, those in that situation must remain in jail and are credited at a rate of $20 per day toward their debt – or $40 per day if appointed as a jail trustee to do jobs such as laundry, cleaning and washing police cars.

The four-day Labor Day weekend is traditionally known as the last big weekend of the boating season and while Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s Marine Unit did log several incidents, there were no serious injuries reported. Marine Patrol Troopers made five arrests for boating under the influence at Lake Martin, according to ALEA Public Information Officer Sgt. Steve Jarrett. He said that one of those incidents resulted in more than one arrest with several additional charges. “In one of those BUI incidents, one of those operators was also arrested for possession of marijuana second degree, possession of drug paraphernalia and See ACTIVITY, Page A5

While no action was taken, the Alexander City City Council appears to like the idea of being called the “City of Champions.” County Commissioner Steve Robinson told the council Tuesday evening that the Alexander City Sports Foundation has designed and would like to place signs honoring past championship teams and asked the council to consider allowing placement of “City of Champions” signage at the Charles E.

The Tallapoosa County Board of Education approved a fiscal year 2016 budget Monday night at its September meeting that it hopes will allow it to begin to accumulate the state’s required reserve of one month’s operating expenses or approximately $1.8 million. The Board voted unanimously to approve a budget of $27.2 million, which equals just more than $1 million less that its expected revenues. Of that $1 million, approximately $300,000 of that money belongs to individual schools. The remainder of almost $800,000 is money out of which the system hopes to build up its reserve. “That is where that money that will go toward See SCHOOLS, Page A6

DEAR ABBY: I recently married the love of my life. However, a few years ago, I had an affair with his uncle. It was a terrible mistake. Should I explain this to my husband or keep my shameful secret a secret? Please tell me what I should do. -- CONFUSED WIFE IN THE EAST DEAR CONFUSED WIFE: I vote for telling your husband the truth. Better he should hear it from you now than hear about it later from his uncle. DEAR ABBY: I started a new job four months ago after being out of work because of a large downsizing at my last employer’s, an insurance company. My new job is close to home, and I really like the work involved. I’m single, in my early 40s and have a wonderful relationship with a widower I met in church.

He has left flowers in my car with a note, and keeps asking me to go to concerts out of town because he says his wife doesn’t want to go and he doesn’t want to go alone. I have tried to downplay his advances, but I am afraid it might cost me my job, my boyfriend and the ability to help my parents financially. I am aware my co-workers are probably wondering what is going on. How do I handle this delicate situation and do the right thing? -- IN A QUANDARY IN NEW

Sadly, thousands of people under the age of 20 are diagnosed with cancer every year, and it remains the leading cause of disease-related death for children. In September, we honor the strength and courage of children who are battling the many forms of cancer, as well as the young Americans who have lost their lives to these terrible diseases. Social Security provides benefits for children who suffer from many disabling diseases, including some forms of cancer. These benefits could help with the additional costs of caring for an ill child. The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program pays benefits to disabled children who have limited income and resources. If you wish to apply for benefits for your child, you’ll need to complete both an application for SSI and a

Here are the steps to apply.  Review the Child Disability Starter Kit. This kit answers common questions about applying for SSI benefits for children, and includes a worksheet that will help you gather the information you need. You can view the starter kit at www.ssa.gov/disability/ disability_starter_kits_child_ eng.htm.  The SSI program is a “needs-based” program for people who have low family income and resources.

DEAR ABBY: For the past year I have been married to a man I love with all my heart, but we have yet to reside in the same house. He lives in another city with his child’s mother and gives me excuse after excuse as to why he won’t leave. It’s either that he’s scared to have to pay child support, or he’s afraid of my temper (which I’m seeking help for), or it’s just not

the right time. I think I should take priority over his child’s mother because I am his WIFE. I am fed up with the excuses and ready to call it quits. What should I do? -- MARRIED BUT ALONE IN MARYLAND DEAR MARRIED: Keep working on your anger issues, but call it quits. Obviously, your “husband’s” priorities lie elsewhere. Whether in the legal sense or the emotional, he appears to be very much married to his child’s mother. As it stands, you are already living as a divorcee, so make it official and move on.

ENGLAND DEAR IN A QUANDARY: Tell your boss that you are involved in a committed relationship, and so is he. The next time he invites you to lunch, inform him that his invitations are making you uncomfortable. After that, if he persists in leaving flowers with little notes, hang onto them because they would be evidence that you were being harassed in case your refusal to have a personal relationship affects your employment.

SSI has strict limits on the amount of income and assets you can have and still be eligible for SSI. Contact Social Security right away to find out if the income and resources of the parents and the child are within the allowed limits, and to start the SSI application process.  Fill out the online Child Disability Report. At the end of the report, we’ll ask you to sign a form that gives the child’s doctor(s) permission to give us information about his or her disability. We need this information to make a decision on your child’s claim. You can access the Child Disability Report at secure.ssa.gov/apps6z/i3820/ main.html. Social Security also has an obligation to provide benefits quickly to applicants whose medical conditions are so serious that they obviously meet our strict disability standards. Social Security’s Compassionate Allowances program enables us to

identify diseases and other medical conditions quickly that invariably qualify under the Listing of Impairments based on minimal objective medical information. The Compassionate Allowances list allows Social Security to identify the most seriously disabled people for allowances based on objective medical information that we can obtain quickly. Compassionate Allowances is not a separate program from the Supplemental Security Income program. You can learn more about Compassionate Allowances at www.socialsecurity.gov/ compassionateallowances. No matter what month it is, Social Security is here to provide benefits to those with severe disabilities.

Shelby County has a rural past, has not always been a Birmingham suburb

helby County sits in the geographic center of the state and is the birthplace and childhood home of Gov. Robert Bentley. It is also renowned for being the fastest-growing county in Alabama for the past four decades. Shelby County has become a mecca for suburbanites in the Hoover/Birmingham metropolitan area. Shelby County has not always been a suburban enclave of Jefferson County. While Gov. Bentley was growing up, it was a rural county much like most of the counties in the state. Shelby County was part of a four county center that was known as the home of the original Republicans in the state. Shelby, St. Clair, Chilton and Bibb were all white counties made up of yeomen farmers who lived off their own land and labors. They did not own slaves nor did they want to own slaves. They simply wanted to be left alone to raise their crops and their children. These folks epitomized the Alabamians that were not inclined to leave the Union at the onset of the Civil War. In fact, their delegates voted against seceding from the Union when the state Secession Convention met in Montgomery in 1861. The people of Shelby, St. Clair, Chilton and Bibb counties were known as progressive Republicans. In fact, these Alabamians more closely resembled New England Republicans in their political philosophy. They were frugal, but were willing to pay more in taxes if their

money went to education. They believed that education was the path to a better future for their children. Even though they lived off the land and were proud of their 40 acres and a mule, they aspired for their children to move past the life of seeing the rear end of a mule for 12 hours a day. They felt that with a good education their child might grow up to be a doctor in Tuscaloosa. That is precisely what happened with Gov. Bentley. He grew up in rural Shelby County, the son of hardworking Shelby County yeoman people. His father had little formal education and owned a sawmill. Bentley went to school in Columbiana and was a good student and a leader. Bentley’s progressive Republican roots first came out during the 1950s presidential contests. At that time, all elected officials in Alabama were Democrats and the state voted for the Democratic candidate for president. The future doctor and governor was the campaign manager for Republican presidential candidate Dwight “Ike” Eisenhower. Thus, nobody can ever claim that they are more Republican or have been a Republican longer than Bentley. He was born a progressive Republican in Shelby County. While Bentley was in

school in Shelby County, his superintendent was Dr. Elvin Hill. Hill is the father of longtime Shelby County State Representative Mike Hill, who has served close to three decades in the legislature and is one of the most likeable and popular members of the House of Representatives. Hill and Bentley are close friends. Their families have been Shelby County friends for generations. In fact, there are several old political families from Shelby County. As I was walking down Dexter Avenue the morning of Bentley’s first inauguration in 2011, I stopped to speak to Bentley and then ran into a host of folks from legendary

Shelby County stock with vintage heritage. I saw Mike Hill and his wife Carol. Then I saw Conrad Fowler, Jr., who practices law in Columbiana and was a stellar tight end for Bear Bryant at the University of Alabama. Conrad Jr.’s daddy was Conrad “Bully” Fowler. He was a distinguished longtime probate judge in Shelby County. Bully Fowler holds the distinction of being one of the few people to ever beat George Wallace in a political race. Bully Fowler and Wallace ran against each other for President of the Cotillion Club at the University of Alabama. Bully prevailed. Conrad Fowler Jr.’s law partner for over

four decades is Butch Ellis, who served a couple of terms in the State Senate. He was one of the most honest, friendliest and popular men to ever serve in the Alabama Senate. B u t c h ’s d a d d y, Handy Ellis, was also a state senator, as well as lieutenant governor. He ran second to Big Jim Folsom in the 1946 Governor’s race. Handy Ellis was the “Big Mule” candidate for governor that year and was expected to win. However, Big Jim came out of nowhere and beat him. Butch Ellis and Bentley are related by marriage. Alabama is really just one big front porch. See you next week. Steve

Activity tampering with physical evidence,â&#x20AC;? Jarrett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A passenger aboard the same boat was also charged with possession of marijuana second degree and possession of drug paraphernalia, which gave us a total of six custodial arrests for the four-day period.â&#x20AC;? The only accident investigated by marine police was a

Sunday crash involving two personal watercrafts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had one boating accident in Tallassee Slough Sunday,â&#x20AC;? Jarrett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both personal watercraft were damaged but neither operator sustained injury.â&#x20AC;? Area law enforcement also reports relatively few incidents for a holiday weekend.

Council to Alexander City on highways 280, 22 and 63. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had some great accomplishments at Benjamin Russell and at Laurel High High Schools, not to mention the golf and baseball national championships won by teams at CACC,â&#x20AC;? Robinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done some research and we have an example of what we came up with. With your approval, the Sports Foundation, along with the state highway folks, we would like to have these installed. There would be no cost to the city.â&#x20AC;? The council members seemed to be in favor of the idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great idea,â&#x20AC;? Councilmember Billy Ray Wall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote tonight, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 100 percent for it.â&#x20AC;? The council declared properties at 1725 Simpson St. and 1716 Smith Drive nuisances. The owner of a third property addressed the council and showed that the situation had been corrected. The city will start moves to have the property addressed at the ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expense. Ward Sellers informed the council on a request by L.C. Russell for a business license for an operation called L.C. Lounge. Sellers said that the issue is making sure the building is brought up to county and state fire codes. The business seeks to use the old American Legion Building on North Central Avenue as a rental hall for groups and individuals to

use for parties, reunions, and other gatherings. Fire Chief Kem Jones said she would offer assistance to Russell, but said it would ultimately be up to the county to inspect and determine if codes were met because it lies outside the city limits. The council also set a budget work session for Tuesday, Sept. 15 at 5:30 p.m. to start finalizing the new budget. The current budget ends Sept. 30. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We only have roughly three weeks to finalize a budget,â&#x20AC;? Finance Committee Chair Councilman Jim Spann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I ask each of you to go back and talk with the department heads in your area of responsibility. Identify any issues and be prepared to present that at the work session.â&#x20AC;? City Finance Director Sandra Machen also addressed the capital budget, urging all to be cautious when state and federal grants are involved in projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we all know, the state and federal government have budgets that are in a state of flux as well,â&#x20AC;? Machen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just because you have been awarded a grant, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily mean that when a new budget is passed that those funds will be there. If that is the case, then the city would become responsible for the entire project depending on where it is in the process.â&#x20AC;? The council also unanimously approved by 5-0 votes: â&#x20AC;˘ A resolution authorizing

Reports from the Tallapoosa County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department indicated that there were just two arrests for driving under the influence over the fourday weekend. Alexander City reported three arrests for DUI and two for public intoxication. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a relatively quiet weekend for us,â&#x20AC;? Deputy Chief Jay Turner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were fortunate in even the things that we had, there were the mayor to execute a grant agreement with the Alabama Department of Transportation Alternative Program. The grant will fund the Lee Street Streetscape Plan. â&#x20AC;˘ A resolution authorizing the mayor to execute a contract with Alabama B.A.S.S. Nation Inc. to hold the B.A.S.S. Nation Trail Qualifier scheduled for Lake Martin in April 2016. â&#x20AC;˘ A resolution accepting the engineering estimate for lighting at the new soccer fields and amending the capital budget. The move will create funds for the lights from Graybar of Birmingham. The lights include a 25-year maintenance agreement where the company will be responsible for lights and parts to keep the lights working. â&#x20AC;˘ A resolution awarding the contract for purchasing a new ambulance as per Requisition No. 15-21 and amending the capital budget. â&#x20AC;˘ A request to address the council to waive business licenses for vendors for Oktoberfest and to hold Oktoberfest Fun Run. â&#x20AC;˘ A request for a parade permit for annual Homecoming parade Sept. 11. â&#x20AC;˘ A request from Russell Medical Center to hold TuTu2.2 Mile Fun Run on Thursday, Oct. 1. â&#x20AC;˘ A request from CWA Local 3909 to picket peacefully if need be for a strike if

no major injuries or incidents reported.â&#x20AC;? Investigators in Alexander City were also called to investigate a case where shots were fired late Friday night. Several residents reported hearing gunfire in the area around Jefferson Street and Circle Drive.

Lawsuit

Others are forced to find family members who can raise the money, sell property or take out loans to raise enough money to cover the costs, Brooke said. A release issued by the SPLC claims that â&#x20AC;&#x153;by jailing people for their inability to pay, the city violates their 14th Amendment right to due process and equal protection under the law. The warrantless arrests violate Alabama law and the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. The arrests also violate individualsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; right to counsel, protected by the Sixth Amendment.â&#x20AC;? Brooke said that in a recent suit filed by the SPLC in Montgomery, a settlement was reached where a similar system where no modifications of payment plans were considered was scrapped to avoid a jury trial. The suit in Alexander City was filed on behalf of plaintiffs Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Angelo Foster and Amanda Underwood, both of whom claim to have been victims of the practice. Underwood works at a fast-food restaurant and has been jailed twice for her inability to immediately pay, according to the SPLC release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Alexander City is doing is not right,â&#x20AC;? she said in the SPLC release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are afraid to go to court because they know that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money to pay

In one of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DUI stops, the driver and passenger in the vehicle that was stopped led police on a brief foot chase before officers were able to catch up to and subdue the suspects using a taser. One of the suspects is alleged to have thrown a gun on top of a roof while fleeing

police. Investigators spoke with witnesses who were able to give a very rough description of a vehicle believed to have been involved in the incident. One motorist was met by police to inspect damage to an F-150 pickup that appeared to be a bullet hole.

their fines. They know that they will be locked up away from their family and kids. This shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happening in America.â&#x20AC;? Brooke said he believes it is a clear violation of Constitutional rights, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a practice that needs to end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Debtorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; prisons were outlawed almost 200 years

ago for good reasons, but the practice has been alive and well in Alexander City for at least a decade,â&#x20AC;? Brooke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city needs to realize that peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constitutional rights arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t determined by the size of their bank account.â&#x20AC;? Members of the Alexander City City Council had no knowledge of the suit prior to being asked about it at Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting.

Schools building the reserve will come from,” said Phil Blasingame, the system’s chief financial officer. “Hopefully, we’ve over-budgeted on some items, too, and there will be even more than that.” He also said the money isn’t actually set aside in an account, but that the state tracks the system’s finances and can calculate where it stands with regard to its reserve. “They do all that figuring for us based on information we’re required to provide them,” Blasingame said. Blasingame added that the school board allowed $1.2 million for the additional 1 cent sales tax that was approved by the Tallapoosa County Commission by a 3-2 vote in May and went into effect Sept. 1. The FY 2016 budget reflects a loss of approximately 74 students from FY 2015 (2,865 in FY16 and 2,938 in FY

continued from page 1

2015), which lessens the amount that the system receives from the state. Overall, Tallapoosa County Schools received approximately $40,000 less in State Foundation program funds from the Education Trust Fund this year than it did last. The board also unanimously approved funds for athletic supplements at Dadeville, Reeltown and Horseshoe Bend High Schools. Dadeville’s supplements totaled $66,772.48, Horseshoe Bend’s $56,917.94 and Reeltown’s $55,733.48. “These supplements are for the same amounts these schools have received over the last three or four years,” said Tallapoosa County Schools Superintendent Joe Windle. “Basically, Dadeville gets a little more because they have an additional football coach and volleyball and cross country. Horseshoe Bend has volleyball.” The Board also

approved prefessional services agreements with five of its retired employees that are continuing to work. The employees include five at Reeltown – Virginia Fallin, Deborah Godwin, Jackie ONeal, Janice Ledbetter and Rebecca Taunton – and one – Greg Shelton – at Dadeville High School. All are identified as teachers at their respective schools except O’Neal, who is identified as a teacher and coach and is serving as the head football coach at Reeltown. Windle said the school system saves money through use of these PSAs for employment of retired teachers and does not have to pay for benefits or additional retirement. In other action, the Board:

Park information provided by the Alabama State Parks Division. “We had a good weekend,” said Wilkins. She attributes at least some of last weekend’s increase in visitors to the decline in gas prices. Along with the park’s good numbers, Wilkins said that the visitors had a good time. According to both Wilkins and Adams, there were no major injuries or incidents to report. “It was a good Labor

continued from page 1 Day weekend, compared to last Labor Day,” Bruce Adams, park superintendent, said. Even though, he added, that last Labor Day was good for the park as well. Aside from the weather, however, another factor added to the overall easy-going nature of the weekend, and helped to ensure that most of the campers stayed happy. “Of course Alabama and Auburn both won so that helped,” said Wilkins.

Trojans to get early look, hosting fall tournament By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

First-year Central Alabama Community College baseball coach Doug Kovash will get an early look at his team in a competitive setting next week. CACC will host its 2015 fall baseball tournament Sept. 16-18 on the CACC campus in Alexander City. Games will kick off on Wednesday, Sept. 16 with CACC vs. Faulkner State at 10 a.m., followed by Wallace-Hanceville vs. Faulkner State at 12:30 p.m. and CACC vs. Wallace-Hanceville at 3 p.m. “We’re hosting a number of the other Alabama junior college teams and we’ve got a couple games against a couple of different opponents,” Kovash said. “Then there are several different teams coming in that will play a doubleheader and leave, so they’ll just be here for one day. There will be three games Wednesday and Thursday, and four games on Friday.” Games in the fall tournament will continue Thursday, Sept. 17 with Shelton State vs. Chattahoochee Valley at 10 a.m., followed by Snead State vs. Shelton State at 12:30 p.m., and Chattahoochee Valley vs. Snead State at 3 p.m. The tournament will conclude Friday Sept. 18 with Calhoun Community College vs. Jeff Davis at 10 a.m., Andrew College vs. Calhoun at 12:30 p.m., Wallace-Dothan vs. Jeff Davis at 3 p.m., and Wallace-Dothan vs. Andrew College at 5:30 p.m. While the fall tournament will be the first competition on home turf this year for CACC under Kovash, the Trojans will actually begin competing this weekend. “We open up this coming Sunday at Troy and we’ll have a couple games down there on the Sept. 13,” Kovash said. “We’ll head to Shelton State on Sept. 15, which will give just our sophomores an opportunity to showcase all of their talents in a pro-scout style format in front of all of the college coaches and pro scouts.” Overall, Kovash said the Trojans will

have about 20 chances in the fall to scrimmage and get an early jump on the 2016 season. “It’s a really busy week and it will be our first opportunity to compete as a team, so we’ll see,” Kovash said. “We hope the guys get out there and we play well, and that some of the guys’ individual skills and talents shine so they get

a chance to get recruited. That’s one of the great things about junior college ball is we get a chance to play in the fall and scrimmage up to 20 different times, and most of those are going to be in front of four-year college coaches or scouts.” In the process, Kovash said the coaching staff will get a chance to begin putting together a lineup for the coming

season. “We hope to get in about 20 different opportunities for the guys to show us what they can do and where we can kind of piece together who can do what and who sticks out,” Kovash said. “We hope to kind of formulate a lineup in a way as we close out the fall at the end of October.”

Benjamin Russell ready to battle Eufaula for homecoming By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

Kenneth Boone / Outlook File Photo

Benjamin Russell quarterback Tyre Gray looks for a receiver down field during last week’s game at Opelika.

The Benjamin Russell Wildcats will look to bounce back from last week’s road loss as they return to the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex for homecoming on Friday. The Wildcats (2-1, 0-1 Class 6A-Region 3) will host the Eufaula Tigers (2-0, 1-0 Class 5A-Region 2) on Friday at 7 p.m. Eufaula’s last game was a 30-26 region win over Sidney Lanier, while the Wildcats fell 45-26 to Opelika last week. Danny Horn, head football coach of Benjamin Russell, said the Tigers will be different from the squads Benjamin Russell has defeated in recent seasons. “They’ve got a new coaching staff and a new head coach named Bryan Moore, who had been the offensive coordinator at Opelika,” Horn said. “He took the head job at Eufaula this year and has got them playing extremely well. They’ve always been talented. Last year, we got on them pretty quick and they just basically quit, but there’s no quit in them this year. I’ve been really impressed with them.” Horn said the Tigers will bring a big front on both sides of the ball to Friday night’s game, as well as talent at the skill positions. “They’ve got good speed, good size and he’s (Moore) got them playing really well,” Horn said. “Across the offensive line they’re averaging about 280 (pounds), and on their defensive

line they average about 250. They’ve also got some really good skill people. (Last year) They were young and played a lot of young people last year. He’s got them doing well.” Horn added there will be a little bit of familiarity in what Eufaula runs to what the Wildcats saw last week in Opelika. “They run a lot of the same stuff Opelika does, so that’s one thing we can look at,” Horn said. “Eufaula has always been a really good football school, and we’ve been blessed the last couple of years to have the upper hand on them, but they’re a really good team. We’re going to have to bear down, get better and learn from our mistakes last week.” In order to walk away from homecoming with the W, Horn said the Wildcats will have to cut down on the three-and-outs that plagued them offensively in the second half of last week’s game. And defensively, he said Benjamin Russell needs to improve defending the pass. “Offensively, especially the second half, we had too many three-and-outs. Against a good offensive team like Opelika and like Eufaula, you can’t have three-and-outs,” Horn said. “You may not score every drive, but you’ve got to move the ball so that they’ll have the length of the field to go. We’ve got to do a better job on offense of getting first downs. Defensively, we’ve got to stop the pass a little bit better. We’ve been struggling stopping the pass all year long, so we’ve got to fix that.”

No reason to hit the panic button yet with Jeremy Johnson

uburn’s 31-24 victory over Louisville this past Saturday in the Georgia Dome has aptly been described as a disappointment. While I don’t necessarily disagree with that characterization, it was also a good win over a quality opponent. Did the Tigers look like a well-oiled machine? Hardly, but I’ll take winning ugly over losing pretty every single time. In 2013, Auburn defeated a very pedestrian Washington State 31-24 to open the season. Of course, we were exhilarated just to win the game after enduring the misery of 2012. I thought that team had a chance to win eight games based on their opening performance and they won the SEC title. Don’t let high expectations obscure the fact of the matter.

ANDY GRAHAM Sports Columnist

Auburn is 1-0 with a chance to get better next week. The Tigers clearly took advantage of Cardinal mistakes in the first half, but the Auburn defense forced a lot of those mistakes. When healthy, Muschamp’s starting eleven looked like a far superior group to last year’s version. That’s very encouraging. It also should not be overlooked that Auburn played nine true freshman and six redshirt freshman for quality minutes on Saturday. Gus Malzahn’s warn-

ings (that apparently fell on deaf ears) about growing pains should have been taken a little more seriously. The Tigers are used to relying on experience. This year they are relying more on pure talent. That isn’t always going to be pretty, but it does have great potential to make improvement by leaps and bounds. The game seemed to transition, from a blowout by Auburn to Louisville making things interesting, on one fateful series. The Tigers’ second possession of the third quarter was definitely a turning point. Auburn was up 24-3 and Jeremy Johnson threw a beautiful 56-yard touchdown pass to Jason Smith which was called back on a holding penalty. The Auburn sideline was then flagged on the same play for unsportsmanlike con-

duct. Instead of crushing the Cardinals’ spirit and going up 31-3 with five minutes to play in the third quarter, Johnson throws an interception two plays later giving Louisville hope and great field position. If that one play goes differently, I think the Tigers win going away and there’s a little less angst in the Loveliest Village. Then again, the main reason for all the true disappointment by AU fans had nothing to do with the final score. It had everything to do with the play of Jeremy Johnson. Quite frankly, I have no explanation for what I saw Saturday. My thoughts after the game were, “who was that facemasked man?” Johnson’s play was erratic and nowhere near

SEC level. There’s really no way to sugarcoat it. His decision-making was horrendous. I’ve said more times than I remember that I am a huge believer in Jeremy. That has not changed. I still believe he has the talent to lead the Tigers to a championship. Pat Sullivan threw five interceptions in his second career start against Tennessee in 1969. Auburn lost 45-19. The Tigers only lost one more regular-season game and that was by one point to LSU in Baton Rouge. One bad game does not make a season or a career. Auburn obviously needs Johnson to play much better and I believe he will. He’s simply too good not to play better. Graham is a sports columnist for The Outlook.

256.277.4219 The Outlook ClassiĂ&#x20AC;eds ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your need to take action in conĂ&#x2026;icts is likely to emerge. As a result, interactions with others could become unstable and touchy. Your follow-through with these matters will attract a supervisorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or older friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention. Tonight: Listen to a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s news. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Fussing over a domestic issue will only frustrate you. Calm down, and keep your eye on the long term. You could be in a position where you are tired and worn out. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t push someone as hard as you have. Act from a more detached perspective. Tonight: Where the gang is. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You could be at a point where you might say something and live to regret it. Being a little less forceful would serve you well, unless you want to shut others out. Remember that very few have your vigor or are as romantic as you are. Tonight: Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to an oÉ&#x2C6;er. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might want to rethink a question that is likely to aÉ&#x2C6;ect your spending. You have long-term goals and certain desires involving travel and education, and you still might not be able to hold yourself back from overindulging. Tonight: Count your change. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Tap into your energy, and help someone else bypass a limitation that seems to aÉ&#x2C6;ect nearly every aspect of his or her life. Your caring gesture, interest and support helps this person far more than you can imagine. Deal with others gently at the moment. Tonight: As it is. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could be in a position where you feel as if someone is taking advantage of you, and you might wonder why. Your discomfort comes from not facing an internal issue and growing past it. It is easy to blame these feelings on someone else. Tonight: Get a good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

HHHH Gentleness takes you a lot further in discussions than any other way of dealing with a friend right now. A diÉ&#x2C6;erent type of approach could backĂ&#x201E;re. Walk in this personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoes and gain a better perspective of his or her life. Tonight: Get together with loved ones. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You often have a way of saying things that makes others feel uncomfortable or confused. Try to relate in the same language in which each person thinks and speaks. Your imagination will have a ball identifying with others. Tonight: Could go till the wee hours. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Even if you want to get into an intense discussion or argument right now, you would be well-advised not to. A new insight or two allows you to understand why others are reacting the way they are. Lighten up about what is happening. Tonight: Where there is great music. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You often have discussions that take you into a new realm of thought, especially with a close loved one. Stay centered, even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with some new concepts. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rely on what has worked in the past. Be willing to step into new territory. Tonight: Accept an invitation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could be in a situation where you no longer can tolerate everything that is happening. As a result, you might become somewhat snappy with several associates. You probably will need to walk away for a while. Tonight: Decide what you want to do, but listen to suggestions Ă&#x201E;rst. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might be asked to handle a matter for a close friend or associate. This person knows how to get you to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? and pitch in. On the other hand, you have your hands full with your own responsibilities. Make it OK to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? more often. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

September seems to be a promising month for those born into it. Wesley and Kelli Friday, who live just over the Elmore County line on Highway 9, welcomed their second baby boy last week They are calling him Cole and all is well, but that’s all I know from a Facebook post. Neta Stephens had her birthday on Labor Day and enjoyed a visit from her brother Larry Prince. The football season for college fans has begun, and you could tell by the early morning traffic on Saturday that folks were getting ready to be right in position for the first games and to be ready early. I hope your team won. Just a reminder that Kellyton is having their Trade Day this Saturday, Sept. 12. They have a lot to offer – music, raffles, and goodies,

the stairs, there was a cupboard where we kept the vacuum cleaner. In there was the meter for our gas and electric service and we paid as we used. The electric took a one shilling coin (20 cents roughly), and the gas meter took a half-acrown coin (8 crowns in an old pound sterling). So no bills were ever mailed, all paid locally in the nearest town of Eastcote, where we also ordered the coal fuel for delivery. Everything was so cheap then until Britain joined the common market. Enjoy the Sunshine and cooler breezes, and until next week, keep smiling. Rosie Morgan is a community columnist for The Outlook. She writes about the events and people of the Nixburg and Equality area.
