WEDNESDAY

Officials wrestle with weather

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Council, school board postpone meetings until Thursday

In anticipation of the winter weather arriving in the area, the Alexander City Public Works Department spent Tuesday taking precautions to help other departments and warning citizens to stay off the roadways. “We know the roads are going to be impassable at some point,� Public Works Director Gerard Brewer said. “We are not going to be able to do much at that point. The precipitation we get will likely freeze on the roads.�

Other than that it was a waiting game.

Both Alexander City and Tallapoosa County schools dismissed early Tuesday to get students and staff home before roads got bad. Alexander City, Tallapoosa County and Coosa County schools are closed again today. “All students delivered safely with no problems,�

Alexander City Schools Superintendent Darrell Cooper said. “Schools will be closed Wednesday. A decision regarding Thursday will be made no later than 6 p.m. Wednesday.�

DEAR ABBY: I am 28 and I’m disgusted with myself about how I talk to my mother when I’m stressed out. I know it’s not her. It’s me.

My other issue is road rage.

When I’m behind the wheel and the cars ahead of me are going too slow or the drivers make stupid moves, I’m annoyed to the point that I sometimes take risky chances to get away from them. I know it puts my life and the lives of others at risk, and I don’t want to be like this.

I sometimes wonder why my parents didn’t teach me ways to tone down my anger when I was younger. I’m lucky they still love me, even when I snap at them. Do you have any tips on how to control my temper? -SIMMERING IN SUBURBIA DEAR SIMMERING: If you think you are alone in having these issues, you are mistaken.

We are living in increasingly stressful times that have affected most of us in one way or another. If, however, you continue allowing your stress to dictate your behavior, it may eventually drive a wedge between you and the people you care about.

DEAR ABBY Advice

It’s important that you realize anger is a normal emotion.

At one time or another, anger is experienced by everyone.

Recognizing what is CAUSING your stress and anger can help you to avoid taking it out on others.

It takes self-control -- and maturity -- to react calmly, instead of reacting angrily.

Being able to identify what’s triggering the anger and causing you to verbalize it can help to prevent an outburst. Instead say, “When you do or say that, it makes me angry.” Or try saying, “Mom, I’m stressed right now. Can we discuss this later?” Or, “I’ve had a really rough day. I need to be alone for a little while.” Then go for a walk to help you to regain your perspective. Developing the ability to do this will not only lessen your guilt, but also earn you the respect of those

with whom you interact. My Anger Booklet contains many suggestions for managing and constructively expressing anger in various situations. It can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus a check or money order for $7 in U.S. funds to Dear Abby -Anger Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.

Shipping and handling are included in the price. As to your “over the top” reactions when you are in your car driving, try to remember that we are all human and make mistakes. I have made them, and so have you.

If you MUST drive during rush hours, try listening to music or an audio book. And count to 10 before you hit the accelerator. Avoid blasting the horn or making rude gestures.

(Screaming is permissible as long as your windows are closed.)

People who lose control not only can get hurt in a variety of ways, but also hurt others -including innocent bystanders.

That’s why it is very important to be able to express anger in healthy ways.

We are living in a time when the anger level in our society has reached new heights. As we have seen all too often in news reports, explosive anger is the most dangerous of all.

Perhaps constructive anger management should be taught in schools to help people more effectively communicate in a healthy manner.

DEAR ABBY: I’ve been seeking the answer to this for years. My husband is deceased. Am I still related to his family? How do I introduce them? -- IN LIMBO IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR IN LIMBO: You are as related to them as you WANT to be. Introduce them by their names or as your former in-laws.

Meetings

The Outlook

continued from page 1

The council is also expected to consider a resolution that would set the wheels in motion to apply for grant funds from the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program to help purchase selfcontained breathing apparatuses for use by the Alexander City Fire Department.

Monday the Alexander City School system made the decision to dismiss at 2 p.m. and cancel all afterschool events. This included the regularly scheduled Alexander City Board of Education meeting that was set for 5 p.m. in the Benjamin Russell auditorium.

Tuesday morning, Executive Superintendent Jackie Brewer announced that the meeting had been moved to Thursday morning at 7 a.m. As a result of this change, the meeting has changed venues from Benjamin Russell to the Board of Education offices, and the planned agenda was revised, with some items being moved to the February meeting. A special presentation from students at Benjamin Russell was moved from January to February, as was a moment of recognition for the high school students who recently competed in the Alabama Microsoft Office Specialist Championship.

The board will still go over many of its traditional topics, including the monthly financial reports, personnel items and field trip requests. The tentative agenda also shows the board will begin reviewing the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 school year calendars, as well as taking new action on the child nutrition food service management contract with Southwest Foodservice Excellence.

“All of this is dependent on the weather, of course,” Brewer said.

Weather causing icing on bridges in Northwest Alabama and snow was starting to enter the Birmingham area.

The National Weather Service is predicting the area will not see temperatures above freezing until Thursday.

That means any snow, sleep or freezing rain will hang around for a while.

Tallapoosa County Commissioners had their road crews strategically locating equipment and late in the day they were putting sand and light gravel on bridges across the county.

“We tried to get some grit on the bridges in our district,” Commissioner John McKelvey said.

“That will help, depending on exactly what kind and how much frozen stuff we actually get.”

As of 5 p.m., there was still no rain or snow falling in Tallapoosa County.

Brewer said his department did what it could with limited resources.

“We have sand loaded on a truck,” Brewer said.

“We will put it out where we can but sand does no good on top of the ice.”

Brewer explained the city does not have much salt.

“We have a little bit of salt,” Brewer said.

Alexander City Public Works has sand loaded on a truck to apply to troublesome spots on roadways in Alexander City should the need arise.

“We will likely put it out around city hall.”

Brewer said Tuesday afternoon many of the public works employees were being sent home but they would help where they could.

“We will help the police and fire departments where we can,” Brewer said. “We will also help light and power. We will remove trees from roadways when we can.”

Alexander City Public Works sent at a notice Tuesday afternoon to encourage residents to stay put.

“We anticipate that city streets will become

The charges consist of three counts of first-degree burglary, one first-degree kidnapping, two counts of second-degree theft of property and three counts of unlawful imprisonment.

The bond amount totaled from all the charges doled out by Goggans was roughly $6.23 million.

Assistant District Attorney CJ Robinson said the day prior to the hearing Vernon spoke with his attorney.

Court records show he was appointed Wetumpka criminal defense lawyer Desirae Lewis after his Dec. 4 arrest.

An attempt to contact Lewis was unsuccessful.

Temperatures are not expected to rise above freezing until 11 a.m. on Thursday. If precipitation occurs as expected, we strongly recommend that everyone avoid travel during this timeframe.

If travel is absolutely necessary at any time when icy conditions are present, travel at a much slower speed, use caution, and be prepared for the possibility of becoming stranded by carrying water, food, blankets, etc.”

EMA Director Jason Moran said county officials would monitor things overnight and have not made a decision about roads.

“We will evaluate things throughout the night,” Moran said. “But no call has been made about the roads yet.”

Moran said a plan was in place for those who might need a warming center.

“He may very well be indicted on some federal charges. He’s got a lot of trouble he’s got to sort through,” said Robinson.

Vernon’s court records show Kellyton as his last residence.

Asked about any motive they might know of for Vernon’s escape both Robinson and District Attorney Randall Houston as they left the courtroom answered.

“I just think desperate men do desperate things,” Robinson said.

Houston had a different response. “I think stupid people do stupid things.”

Opinion

Our View

Be prepared for what Mother Nature brings

S

tories published in the last few editions of The Outlook should serve as reminders that there is no way to predict what Mother Nature has in store for us.

From another major threat of winter weather to the reported sighting of a mountain lion near downtown Alexander City, it seems we never really know what is waiting for us on any given day.

After the hit our area took back in December from a freak early snow storm, maybe it’s just that we are still a little more aware when the forecast called for more of the frozen stuff this time around.

Schools made the decision on Monday to dismiss students early in hopes of getting them all home before the worst of the weather came our way. In Tallapoosa County they took the extra precaution of closing schools today as well. Alexander City Schools were planning to open about three hours late today, depending on how bad the weather turned out to be. They left themselves some wiggle room to cancel classes if the roads made that the right decision.

As of Tuesday afternoon, it appeared that local folks were taking the threat seriously and that city, county and state leaders were prepared.

Now winter weather and mountain lions may not seem like two things that belong in the same category, but in reality they do.

While wildlife biologists point out that no confirmed sighting of cougars or mountain lions have come since 1946, there is no question that Ellen Dean saw some sort of big cat outside her home on LaFayette Street Sunday morning.

There have been sightings in Tennessee, Missouri and folks tell us residents in Florida and on the coastal islands of South Carolina often spot the same kind of big cat that Dean described so vividly.

So how do the two fit together?

Whether it’s a winter storm approaching or simply walking out your back door, these stories serve as reminders that we all need to be aware of our surroundings, pay attention to reports, weather forecasts and the possibilities that could come our way.

They show that we should always be prepared for what Mother Nature may send our way.

Hawaii endures 38-minute nuclear nightmare

H

awaii is said to be the jewel of the Pacific.

But on Saturday morning, the island paradise became the world’s center of terror.

At 8:07 local time in Hawaii, thousand of islanders – accustomed to the laid-back atmosphere of the island and ready to bask in a weekend of surf and mai tais – received the a text message that read, “BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.” And, with that, hearts – if hearts can – at once stopped and began to pound.

People began to wonder, “Shelter? What shelter? Where exactly do you go to protect yourself from nuclear attack?”

Some of the older set probably wondered if there were any of the old Civil Defense bomb shelters still in existence or whether their best bet was to follow the advice of Bert the Turtle from the old Civil Defense films shown in cold-war classrooms and simply “duck and cover.”

Television clips shown later shot from tower cams showed Hawaiians running in the street, doubtless not sure where exactly they were going.

The terror lasted as long as 38 minutes for some, when the Hawaii emergency alert system

DAVID GRANGER Columnist

finally sent out a text saying the previous message was in error. Others found out more quickly, thanks largely to the efforts of Hawaii’s Sen. Tulsi Gabbard, who, immediately upon seeing the text other Hawaiians saw, began to check out its veracity and, when discovering the error, began to use all methods at her disposal to let her state’s citizens know the truth.

As for the emergency alert system, its performance wasn’t very heartening when it took 38 minutes to issue the correction and takes only an estimated 15 for such a missile to travel from North Korea, the likely suspect due to the recent Twitter war between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un. Still, to my mind, of all those involved with the Hawaii Emergency Agency, its administrator stood tallest.

Vern Miyagi accepted total responsibility without even being asked. But when asked if he was there when the event occurred, Miyagi said, “No.” Wasn’t there, didn’t see it, had no way of knowing how it

occurred, but Miyagi stepped up and took total responsibility.

If only our government was full of such men.

Finally, after the incident, I began to wonder what do you do after a nuclear attack these days? Is it even survivable?

Global politics are far from stable, and human nature has changed none in the last two decades. “The most persistent sound which reverberates through man’s history is the beating of war drums,” according to Hungarian novelist Arthur Koestler.

Well, the survivability of such an attack is debatable and may depend on how many missiles are launched.

Remember, today’s missiles are far more powerful than those the U.S. dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and it is likely that any nuclear attack would include multiple missiles.

Hopefully, the nuclear nightmare is one that none of us will ever have to face. On Saturday, our brothers and sisters in Hawaii briefly did.

And their experience at 8:07 a.m. local time is as close as anyone should ever come to what they were led to believe was reality.

A special day at the home place

I

’ve never claimed to be Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor. In fact, I’d say I’m more Rip Taylor than Tim Taylor, without the confetti and bad toupee, of course. I may not be much of a tool man, but that doesn’t stop me from trying. Trial, error and Google have enabled me to do a number of things.

A few weeks ago, a storm blew through the home place in Tallapoosa County. With it came heavy rains and strong winds. At least I assume it did. I took some sleep aid and slept right through it. I was a bit under the weather and stayed up there so I wouldn’t risk getting the baby sick.

Either way, I know, as the grandparents would have said, “It came up a cloud,” and damaged the roof of the barn.

After that came the chaos of the holidays, along with the extreme cold weather. Simply put, it was a while before I got around to putting on my tool belt. When I finally got it on, I went to work. Well, I tried to anyway.

Olin, a lifelong family friend, stopped by and chatted me up for about an hour, and I enjoyed every second. He literally just stopped in the middle of the road and turned off his truck.

Ruby and I just stood there. She took off to explore a couple of times but always came back within a couple of minutes.

During our conversation, just one vehicle drove by and it was the rural mail carrier. He didn’t stop. He just kept on going. I sure do like being way out in the country.

My dad was literally born at the home place way back in

JODY FULLER Columnist

1945, so it’s special for a lot of reasons. I’m sure he spent a lot of days working in and around the barn. Olin filled me in on a lot of information that I never knew. My dad died when I was eight years old, so I’m always learning new things. He has many more stories to tell, and I can’t wait to hear them.

I finally climbed to the roof of the barn. I could have scaled my way up the wall, but I was trying to be safe and took the ladder. Ruby stayed with me the whole time. She legitimately seemed concerned. I should have never tackled this task on my own, but Ruby is smarter than Lassie ever was, so I’m sure she would’ve taken off up the road to tell mama-n-em had I experienced any misfortune.

Luckily, the only misfortune I experienced was a rip in my three-year-old $14 jeans. I need to be more careful with those random nails. Ripped flesh or ripped jeans? I’ll take the latter.

I only had to rearrange four long pieces of aluminum, but that was easier said than done.

I don’t have a fear of heights; however, I do have a fear of falling through the roof of a dilapidated old barn. I was smart about it and tried to spread my weight out as evenly as possible. After the holidays, there was more weight than I usually carry around, so there was a lot of spreading.

I finally got it done and when I did, I just sat there. I’d never seen the home place from that vantage point. The rest of the family calls it “Terrapin Slide,” because everything always moved so slow around there.

I remember riding home from church with Maw-Maw and Paw-Paw in his ‘57 Chevy.

It took him 10 minutes to get there. The church is only a mile up the road. I’m only slightly exaggerating.

In my mind, I could see the hard work, fun times and love that emanated from the home place. It brought back great memories of those who are no longer with us. I even called up a cousin and talked with him for a spell as I sat atop the roof.

What a special moment it was.

As I was preparing to climb back down the ladder, I noticed that I hadn’t overlapped the aluminum properly and had to start all over. I didn’t mind. I had time.

What should have been an hour-long project turned into an all-day affair. That’s okay though. I had a wonderful time, got the job done, didn’t die, and for what it’s worth, I don’t actually have a tool belt, but that sounded really cool. Maybe one day I’ll get me one, but first, I need to get a new pair of jeans. That’s the only good pair I have.

Food thousand assessment forms every year across the three counties we cover. We hand them out to our clients and to nonprofit agencies. Once the deadline has passed and we have all the forms gathered up, the information is then compiled by Auburn University.”

Once the committee receives the compiled form data from Auburn, the top three to five items on the list are more carefully examined and a potential program plan is developed for each of the concerns.

“We try to address the top issue on the list, but we must also develop our programs to work within our budget,” Boleware said. “We will collaborate with other agencies if we need to.”

During the most recent assessment survey, the top issue listed was food concerns, as there are those in the community who are not always able to provide adequate food for themselves and their families. With this in mind, the committee members got to work and developed a plan for giving what assistance they could to those in the community.

Two of Boleware’s staff members spearheaded the project, going around to the others in the committee asking for monetary donations in order to purchase food for the crisis center.

“All of this stayed within the agency, and it was strictly voluntary,” Boleware said. “We gathered up all the money in about a week’s time.”

Boleware said the committee members delivered the 310 pounds of food to the center during the second week of December, just in time for their contribution to be used towards the Christmas dinner offerings the center gave its clientele.

Getting their donations

continued from page 1

to the center in time for this left the committee members with a feeling of gratification, knowing they have been able to provide some help for those in need around them, according to Boleware.

Along with this donation drive to buy food for the crisis center, the Community Action Committee tackles other issues and concerns facing those in the three counties serviced by the group in an effort to improve the quality of life for the area.

These include offering Head Start to preschoolers, conducting energy audits and helping low-income residents weatherize their homes, providing

assistance with utility bills for those on fixed incomes and senior citizens, and reimbursing private daycares for taking care of children from families of lower incomes.

Moving forward to the next needs assessment survey, Boleware said he believes the Community Action Committee of Chambers, Tallapoosa and Coosa Counties will possibly have the chance to help the Tallapoosa Christian Crisis Center out with future donations of food for those helped by the center.

“This was our first time donating to the crisis center, but it hopefully won’t be the last,” he said.

Is Tuscaloosa the captial of Alabama politics?

A while back, during Dr. Robert Bentley’s tenure as governor, I wrote a column entitled, “They May as Well Move the Capitol to Tuscaloosa.” Never before in Alabama history has a city had a sitting governor and the state’s senior U.S. Senator hail from that particular place. Even with the departure of Bentley as governor, the Druid City has an inordinate amount of presence in the state’s political sphere of influence.

Senator Richard Shelby is in his 32nd year as our U.S. Senator. With that kind of seniority, comes immense power in Washington. Shelby is Chairman of the Senate Rules Committee and is easily one of the three most powerful U.S. Senators.

Secretary of State, John Merrill, is from Tuscaloosa.

He served in the Legislature prior to winning statewide office.

Scott Donaldson serves on the State Court of Appeals.

He was a Circuit Judge in Tuscaloosa prior to his move to the state court.

Judge John England currently sits on the Bench as a Tuscaloosa Circuit Judge. He has previously

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist

served on the State Supreme Court. He is one of the most respected men in the state.

Judge England’s son, Chris England, has represented Tuscaloosa in the House of Representatives very effectively for 11 years.

Chris is not only a stellar legislator; he is a practicing lawyer and an expert on Alabama football, which he grew up watching.

Tuscaloosa County Probate Judge Hardy McCollum has been in his office for over 41 years. He is nearing the end of an unprecedented seventh six-year term. That means that Hardy was first elected in 1976. Over the years, he has generally been considered the most popular political figure in Tuscaloosa County.

State senator, Gerald Allen, has been representing his native Tuscaloosa County in the state Legislature for 24 years. He served 16 years in the State House prior to his election to the State Senate

eight years ago in 2010. He is considered one of the most conservative members of the State Senate.

Some folks believe that this time next year, Tuscaloosa may regain the Governor’s office. Their very popular, 45-year old mayor, Walt Maddox, will likely be the Democratic standard-bearer in the 2018 Governor’s race. Young Mr. Maddox is very popular in his hometown. He has been the historic city’s 36th mayor since 2005, which means he was first elected at the ripe old age of 32.

Although not Tuscaloosa’s, there are some influential powers that live nearby and represent them in the Halls of Congress and the State Senate. Congressman Robert Aderholt from Haleyville represents Tuscaloosa as well as outstanding State Senators Greg Reed of Jasper and Bobby Singleton of Greensboro.

Lastly but certainly not least, Tuscaloosa lays claim to the most popular and consensus brightest rising star in the Alabama Legislature.

State Representative Bill Poole is a crown jewel that Tuscaloosa can be very proud

to call their own.

Bill Poole is a lawyer by profession. His utmost priority is his devotion to his wife, Nicole, and his three children, Sally, William, and Whitman. The Pooles are active members of the First Methodist Church of Tuscaloosa. Bill earned his B.S. and Law degrees from the University of Alabama and began his law practice in Tuscaloosa, in 2004.

This Republican District 63 encompasses primarily the City and suburbs of Tuscaloosa. Dr. Bentley was the Representative from this District prior to Poole.

Tim Parker represented this district prior to Bentley.

Poole came to the House with a large group of Republicans in 2010. He immediately became a leader of that group. The entire Legislature quickly recognized his potential.

By the end of his first year in 2011, it was evident that Poole was clearly the star of that 34-member class. When you asked every veteran observer of Goat Hill about the class, the first name on the list was Bill Poole. He is liked and respected by members on both sides of the

aisle.

In only his second term, he became Chairman of the Ways and Means Education Budget Committee. When Mike Hubbard was removed as Speaker, it was a foregone conclusion that Poole was going to be Speaker. He turned down the post because he wanted to be able to spend time with his young family.

At 38 the sky is the limit for Poole. However, folks in Tuscaloosa hope he stays put. For a city that is home to the University of Alabama, having the Chairman of the Education Budget Committee is a pretty good coup.

Tuscaloosa was once the Capitol. Some would say essentially it is again. In fact preliminary census estimations project that Tuscaloosa will exceed Montgomery in population by 2030.

See you next week.

Health Tip: Wash Your Hands Often

CORLEY HOLT Senior Moments

Doctors call good hand hygiene “the next best thing” after the flu vaccine to prevent the flu. Wash your hands several times a day with soap and warm water. Germs can live on surfaces such as doorknobs, handrails, and countertops for up to two hours, so wash your hands after touching any surface that wasn’t just cleaned. Can’t get to a sink? Carry alcoholbased hand sanitizer everywhere you go.

Social Tip: Commit to A Social Hobby The particular hobby or activity can be anything you like that’s social. If you’re having a hard time figuring out what hobby to take on, browse your local meetups to see what groups are already out there and try out one or two that look fun to you.

We send out get well wishes to Shirley Coley and Brenda Burnette.

Until next time keep a smile on your face and love in your heart.

old and more freezing weather coming, plus a winter storm warning for this week.

If you don’t have to get out, it is safer to stay home. Especially since the flu and heavy chest colds are affecting so many and those germs spread quickly.

I just cannot see ‘Global Warming.’

Our last two winters have been extremely cold. I do agree with scientists when they declare we are just having the ‘normal cycles of weather’ that have come about since the beginning.

I remember learning about the Ice age, a catastrophic weather event from way back.

Testing deep into the earth’s core, they have learned much about the extremes that affected those before us. Some almost wiped people out.

I felt sorry to learn about comic columnist Jody Fuller running out of LP gas with his young baby to keep warm, and his gas company being closed.

We found the best service, after trying many, came from Area Propane. If we are down at the bottom of the gas-tank, they will deliver that same day and no extra fees.

Great service keeps us with them.

It’s amazing how

quickly you burn the gas when the temperatures stay below freezing for many days in a row.

Rea Cord, Director of the Elmore County Humane Shelter sends out a plea to pet owners. Please bring pets inside during this very cold deepwinter snap. They feel cold like us, and those plastic igloos are not protective or comfortable. The Wetumpka Shelter currently has 240 pets.

Every one of them sleeps on a blanket or comforter, thanks to the generosity of many pet-lovers. Mark your calendar for the 8th annual ‘Getting down with the Dawgs,’ coming Saturday, Feb. 17. More details coming next week.

The second series of ‘Victoria,’ the Queen of Britain, began on public television Sunday evening.

Ron and I just love it. The story being very historically correct, so we learn about life as it was for the young Queen, Prince Albert, and the service workers at the Palace and beyond.

Did you know that Queen Victoria lost almost 4,000 soldiers as they left Kabul in the dead of winter in

Afghanistan? They were picked off one by one during snow, early in her reign, only one survivor, a doctor, made it back to Britain. If the world-wide leaders since then would get into history, they would have learned that no-one can fix things in the Middle East. History seems to go around and come around. When you watch anything that takes place over there, you see the people mostly have been kept in the stone-age, still living in caves. One of Victoria’s gentleman advisors told her that Afghanistan was, “A God-forsaken place.”

Congratulations to Jodi McDade with her announcement to run for Commissioner of our District #4 to replace the retiring Paul Perrett. Jodi has a lovely little furry dog and she’s a lovely person too.

Stay warm.

Remember dressing in snug layers keeps the warmth in, hat and gloves when going outside.

Until next week, keep smiling.

JUST A LITTLE

CRAZY Despite age, racer excels in vet motocross

From putting around at age 5, Scott Little is racing at age 55

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

At 51 years old, Scott Little, a StillWaters resident, was searching for something new in his life.

Despite his age, Little had always found an interest in motocross and decided to try it out for the first time ever.

“When I was real little, I got a Suzuki 50 that could go about 5 miles per hour, and I putted around a little bit, but I never got on one of these highperformance bikes,” Little said. “I was just kinda looking for something in my life, and I ran into some people that were already into motocross, so I tried it out.”

He started out on an older model Suzuki RMZ-250 and had different trainers attempting to teach him the sport.

At first, it wasn’t easy.

“I would crash a lot,” Little said with a laugh. “Also, because of my age, I would get so tired and it would be so hard for me to start my own bike. It takes a lot of power to get that kick started, so I would crash then my trainer would have to crack it up for me then I’d go out on another lap and try it again.”

Now, four years later, despite all odds and a few injuries along the way, Little is 55 and has really excelled in the sport.

“When I first told my friends about it, I would get comments all the time,

Submitted / The Outlook

Scott Little, of StillWaters, who is currently 55 years old has been racing motocross for the last four years. He is also hoping to give back to youngsters hoping to pick up the sport.

‘Scott, what are you thinking? Are you crazy?’” Little said. “I broke my back last year and tore my rotator cuff, I’ve had six cracked ribs. It’s the most demanding sport, mentally and physically, there is out there. It can be very dangerous, but a lot of it is mind over matter and it’s helped me to overcome some things.”

He currently races in the Southern Hardcore Championship Series, which is a race series with its nucleus in central Alabama but with tracks as far north as Pell City and as far south as just outside the Florida line. Racing in a 50-plus age division, Little has been ranked either second or third on the series all of this past season, despite coming in with just

Remembering the sports figures we lost in 2017 T

he Auburn basketball team got another big win over Mississippi State this weekend and moved to 16-1 on what’s becoming a pretty special season. I actually went to the game in Starkville, Mississippi, and had a terrific time with some great friends.

Auburn will take on Alabama tonight in Tuscaloosa in what should be a very competitive matchup. We all know Tigers and Elephants don’t get along, but for some reason I thought I might take a drive through Randomville this week just for the change of scenery.

I hardly ever watch any kind of award shows. I have never seen a single presentation of the Grammys, Emmys or Oscars.

I’m actually proud of that by the way.

However, there is one segment of these type events that oddly peaks my interest.

It’s when they take a look back at “those we lost” in the past year.

So, here’s a look back at some sports figures we lost in

ANDY GRAHAM Columnist

2017 that I’ll certainly miss.

George “The Animal” Steele — I grew up watching the World Wrestling Federation on Saturdays as a kid. This impish, hairy, baldheaded wild man who would literally eat the turnbuckle made quite an impression.

I only recently learned his real name was Jim Myers and he had a master’s degree in education from Central Michigan. He was also a devout Christian. He was 79.

Dick MacPherson — With a football coaching career in college and the NFL spanning 35 years, I remember him best as the head coach of Syracuse in the 1980s.

I especially remember how

upset he was when Pat Dye chose to kick a field goal and settle for a tie in the 1988 Sugar Bowl. The Orangemen entered the game undefeated and it possibly cost them a national title. He was 86.

Frank Broyles — I could write three columns on this icon of college football, but the majority of his exploits were before my time.

I remember him as a broadcaster. He was the color analyst for some early 80s Iron Bowls. I still recall his commentary on Bo Jackson in 1983 and how he dominated the game. He was 92.

Roy Halladay — He was one of the most dominant pitchers of his era starting for the Blue Jays and Phillies from 1998 to 2013. He won two Cy Young Awards and was an eight-time All-Star.

As a Braves fan, I dreaded seeing him on the mound because I knew Atlanta was in trouble. He died in a plane crash he was piloting in the Gulf of Mexico.

three years of racing experience.

Most recently, Little placed second in the Faith Racers Vet Challenge at the Monster Mountain Motocross Park in Tallassee.

Not only has motocross become an important part of Little’s life, there are other aspects of the sports he enjoys.

Little has become involved with the Faith Racers Ministry, which runs three or four faith-based camps per year for youngsters who are interested in motocross.

Three years ago, Little also started a photography company called Littlemoto, where he takes photos of youngsters not only for their enjoyment but also as a learning experience.

“My dad was deaf, so visual learning is very important to me,” Little said. “I started taking photos of kids and riders to help them see what they look like on their bikes, so they can understand what trainers are trying to tell them about their bodies.”

Littlemoto, and helping young riders in general, has been the true spark behind Little’s passion. The sport keeps him young, he said, but it also allows him to give back.

“All of it together became a great way for me to get in better shape and get my mind in better shape, but also know that I’m helping people and fulfilling a purpose god as gifted me with,” Little said.

He left behind a wife and two children. He was 40.

Dick Enberg — When I think of watching the NFL football growing up, I automatically think of Dick Enberg and Merlon Olson in the booth.

I always thought Enberg had a very smooth delivery and was a class act. His signature “Oh my!” was simplistic yet brilliant. He also won about every broadcasting award you can win. He was 82.

Keith Jackson — It was actually this past weekend, but we lost one of the great voices of college football. When you think of the classic games in college football of yesteryear, you automatically hear the voice of Keith Jackson. His commanding presence and homespun charm has often been imitated, but never quite duplicated.

He certainly left quite a legacy. He was 89.
