McKinney charges dismissed Charges against former Councill principal stemmed from failure to report sexual activity among students

By DAVID GRANGER Staff Writer

Criminal charges against former Councill Middle School Principal Melanie McKinney that resulted in her 2014 firing by the Tallapoosa County

Board of Education have been dismissed following her completion of a pre-trial diversion plan.

Fifth Judicial Circuit Judge Steven Perryman dismissed the charges against McKinney on Monday, May 23.

The details of McKinney’s pre-trial

diversion plan are not known.

McKinney was fired by the Tallapoosa County Board of Education on Dec. 3, 2014, after it deliberated for 98 minutes before voting 4-1 to accept Superintendent Joe Windle’s recommendation for termination.

McKinney, who was hired as Councill principal in 2012, was indicted on four counts of failure to report abuse of a child, four counts of obstruction of governmental operations, felony theft

Cornerstone Ministries to host benefit Proceeds help siblings injured in April car accident

By MITCH SNEED Editor

By DAVID GRANGER Staff Writer

Cornerstone Ministries of Jackson’s Gap is hosting a benefit Sunday, June 5, for the family of a brother and sister severely injured in a single-vehicle accident near New Site in April.

Abigail and Samuel Salinas both suffered multiple fractures and other injuries and were transported by air to UAB Hospital following the accident on Saturday, April 16, the day of New Site Trade Days. Both siblings spent significant time in the Birmingham hospital.

“They both had extensive stays at UAB,” said Cornerstone minister Jay Burkhalter. “They were there quite a while. We don’t believe they had any medical insurance and, of course, the bills were very high. They have been such good friends of ours here at our church and they have given so much to the community that we decided to try and do something to help them with those hospital expenses.”

On Sunday, Cornerstone, which is located behind Dollar General and Rozetta’s Red Barn off Highway 280, will hold a benefit lunch plate sale, baked goods auction, general auction and gospel singing for the Salinas family. The event starts at 10 a.m. and will last until it’s over.

Featured performers include The Dyes, Lee Burns and 49 North. Plates See CORNERSTONE • Page 5

Reeltown grown, AU Golden Sunshine

could soon be sold worldwide

By WILLIAM CARROLL Managing Editor

If you happen to find yourself on Alabama 120 in Tallapoosa County just outside of Reeltown you may have noticed hundreds of trellises lining the highway. Those trellises are part of an intricate pergola system for the growing of kiwi fruit, a very special type of kiwi created right here in Alabama and destined for markets around the world.

For Southeast Kiwi Farming Cooperative Vice President and Orchard Manager Clint Wall, the farm is just another day at the office, but one, which has massive potential for growth.

Wall started the local operation in September

2014 after spending many years in New Zealand working as a manager of kiwi farms.

Wall, who has 12 years of experience with kiwi farming techniques said that the demand for kiwi, especially in international markets, is high right now. One of the reasons for this is a bacteria known as pseudomonas syringae pv actinidiae or PSV, which has wiped out the kiwi industry in other counties. Luckily, the bacteria has not found its way to the U.S., which creates a perfect location for growing the fruit. Wall said the goal for his kiwi operation is to grow kiwi for markets in Asia.

“The premium markets for kiwi are located See KIWI • Page 3

For eight young people, their holiday weekend at the lake ended with a ride to jail rather than a boat ride on the lake.

The Tallapoosa County Sheriff ’s Department reported making eight arrests for underage possession and consumption of alcohol late Sunday evening after residents in the area of the Turner Road area of Lake Martin complained about loud music and possible underage drinking, according to Sheriff Jimmy Abbett.

“We received a call at 7:56 Sunday evening about excessive noise including music,” Abbett said. “I think most people are pretty understanding about that because it is a recreational area, but when it continues and appears to be out of hand that’s when they call us.

“We responded and found that a group of people had come to a lake house and were having a party of sorts and it was determined that See ARRESTS • Page 5

Temperatures rising, officials warn against dangers of hot cars

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Summer means more travel and more travel with children with most being out of school.

Parents and drivers need to be aware of the dangers from heat for both children and pets as more than 600 U.S. children have died from heat in cars since 1990 according to the safety group Kids and Cars.

“You never want to leave a young child in a car alone,” Russell Medical Center Chief Medical Officer and Emergency Department Medical Director Dr. Michele Goldhagen said.

“Besides heat, children can open doors and walk around parking lots. If they do not open the doors, this time of year they can overheat quickly.”

Cars can heat up quickly. One

unscientific study conducted by The Outlook saw a cool car go from just having the air conditioning running climb to 120 degrees in just minutes.

“The first thing someone left in a car will experience is heat exhaustion,” Dr. Goldhagen said. “That includes heavy sweating and dehydration. What follows is heatstroke. This is a real critical time. If you do not begin the cooling process it can lead to permanent damage.”

Dadeville Police Chief David Barbour thinks someone should never forget about a child in the car also and offers a suggestion to help remind someone.

“Be mindful of children in the car,” Barbour says. “I don’t know how you can forget a child in a car but if you need to, come with something. Maybe See TEMPERATURE • Page 3

degrees.”

Spears explained that due to warmer temperatures on the Gulf, the original plants did not produce many flowers or fruit since the chilling temperature was never reached. He said at that point additional research was conducted including Auburn’s own research into kiwi fruit.

“The gold kiwi we now have came from a seedling selected in China,” Spears said.

“Since 1995 we’ve been evaluating these cultivars.”

Spears agreed that golden kiwi fruit is sweeter to the taste noting that most people actually prefer it to the more traditional variety.

Spears said that Auburn works closely with the cooperative.

“We collaborate quite a bit, hopefully we will be able to get a lot of research out of the project,” he said. “They (the cooperative) employ a lot of student workers.

They have a lot of job opportunities. In fact we have two students out there right now. A lot of my research projects are geared towards helping to make the project successful.”

Wall said in addition to Auburn students he also offers opportunities for local high school students including those at Reeltown High School.

“We have been fortunate in that we have been able to hire local workers,” Wall said, noting that he has a core group of 7, who put in 60 plus hour weeks and a total of 15, including part

in China, Japan and Korea,” Wall said. “Our goal will be to produce fruit specifically for those markets overseas.”

The kiwi grown here is not the same type of kiwi you might be familiar with.

“Most of the kiwi you see in your local grocery store is green kiwi,” Wall said. “We are growing a variety of gold kiwi known as AU Golden Sunshine.”

According to Wall, golden kiwi is actually sweeter to the taste buds than is green kiwi and the golden variety also has more nutrient content.

The AU delineation in the kiwi’s title comes from Auburn University, which Wall credited with creating this specific variety.

“The plants were developed by Auburn University under the direction of Dr. William Dozier,” Wall said.

According to Auburn University Associate Professor Dr. Jay Spears, Dozier was instrumental in developing this particular variety of kiwi fruit.

“He was very involved in developing these cultivars,” Spears said.

“In fact if you look at the patents, you’ll see Dr. Dozier’s name.”

Spears said research in the southeast on kiwi plants dates back to the 1980s.

“Several groups tried growing kiwi fruit on the Gulf Coast in the 1980s,” Spears said. “All of these plants go dormant in the winter and they have a chilling requirement between 32 and 45

time workers.

The farm itself is located on 418 acres located alongside Alabama 120. Of that acreage, 108 acres are currently cultivated for kiwi farming. The fruits, which grow on vines, require an extensive trellis system and state of the art irrigation techniques in order to produce. In support of the irrigation system the property has natural water sources in the form of several lakes serviced by pumping stations, which Wall said can push some 7,000 gallons of water a minute.

Both male and female plants are required to produce the golden fruit.

In order to pollinate the female plants, Wall uses a male variety appropriately called AU Tiger. Wall also is working with an area beekeeper to keep bees on the property for pollination purposes.

“We have 54 hives on the property,” Wall said.

The plants themselves start off at a nursery in Tuskeegee, which has partnered with the coop.

Ross Carlton, who works for the nursery, said that he has provided some 30,000 plants to Wall over the last couple of years. Carlton said the plants are grown in the nursery until they are a year old and then they are sent to the coop to continue the growth process.

According to Spears, kiwi farming is not an inexpensive crop to grow.

“It is an intimidating crop to grow,” says Spears. “You need a large

Temperature a Post-it note at the bottom of the windshield.

This goes for pets as well.”

Barbour hopes it never happens. But if a child is locked in a car with the summer heat, he does offer some suggestions.

“Call 911,” Barbour said. “If you think things are not going well, maybe break the window to get to the child.”

Animals can suffer just like children left behind in the car.

“It can be fatal for dogs,” Lake Martin Animal Shelter’s Mia Chandler said. “Dogs do not sweat, so even a few minutes is not good. It is best not to make pit stops and leave your pet in the car.”

Chandler offers more advice for those who have outside pets.

“If you have an outdoor pet, make sure they have water,” Chandler said. “ It could

investment for the trellis system and all the work that is involved. The trick is finding that funding.”

Wall said that he has around $10,000 per acre invested in the active parts of the farm, which includes the pergola and irrigation systems.

Wall was able to acquire investors in California who were willing to partner with him to fund the operation.

Wall said he hopes to be fully producing fruit by 2018 and that the ultimate goal for the coop is not simply growing kiwi fruit, but that he wants to create an Alabama brand, which will be recognized and respected throughout the world. In creating the brand he wants to set specific quality control standards to ensure the best quality product.

Wall said the plans for the future also include building a pack house and cool storage facility that could be used not only to store kiwi, but also to help other Alabama farmers package and store their own fruits.

“We have a lot of good fruits here in Alabama,” he said. “I’d like to see us package and market them for a bigger market.”

“I am very excited about all of this,” Spears said. “We don’t have anything like this in the southeast. I’d like to see it expand and help to enhance fruit production in Alabama. Our hope is that others will see what is happening here and get interested in getting involved.”

be considered animal cruelty. Pet owners may also want to consider summer haircuts for their animals. Not only does it help keep them cooler, it is easier to monitor for parasites like fleas and ticks.”

Chandler offers a few words of advice for those that travel to the lake with pets.

“With all the travel associated with the lake, collars and tags are a must,” Chandler said. “As well as microchipping.

You would be surprised how many pick up what they think are strays and take them home to Birmingham and Atlanta.”

Summer programs a great way to keep children learning

S

chool is out for summer.

That means a little less responsibility for area children, but perhaps a bit more for area parents. Not only might children be at home and in their parents’ care rather than the care of the school, but the impetus for keeping childrens’ minds engaged also shifts to parents.

Luckily, summer in Dadeville offers a host of opportunities for parents to do exactly that.

First off, there are summer reading programs children can take advantage of.

Books are free and plentiful for participants and available to children at most elementary reading levels.

The Dadeville Public Library kicks off a children’s reading program June 28 at 2 p.m. with programs every Tuesday through the end of July.

The Alexander City Schools and Lake Martin Area United Way also annually team up for a multi-day summer reading program, but details of that program have yet to be announced. Stay tuned to The Outlook.

In the Tallapoosa County Schools, much effort this summer is being put toward an art program for students at Dadeville, Reeltown and Horseshoe Bend. Classes will be held at all locations and will include drama, art and music. The program runs MondayThursday June 6-30 – 16 days – and will conclude with a skit performed by each group on the final day. For more information, contact the Tallapoosa County Schools at 256-825-0746.

Finally, as always, a number of Vacation Bible Schools will take place in the area over the summer, some beginning as early as this week. Vacation Bible Schools provide children the opportunities to both exercise their minds and strengthen their faith and are attractive options to some parents.

Yes, school is out. But children’s curiosity and their desire to learn is much like their appetites: voracious.

A child’s summer shouldn’t go without exposure to a learning experience.

Feed their desire to learn, even when school isn’t in session.

Editorial Our AARP, senior coffee and the wisdom of age Mission

I had never been one who worried too much about age.

Most days I still feel much younger than someone with as many years and miles on my body should.

But today, I think hitting 55 was made worse with the help of the American Association of Retired Persons.

For almost a month, I have been getting offers to become a card-carrying member, which comes with all sorts of benefits like discounts on travel, insurance and the like.

I guess opening the repeated offers hammered a point home – I’m getting old.

So today I qualify for senior coffee at McDonald’s.

Goodwill, Salvation Army and some thrift shops have Senior Discount Days for people over the age of 55.

Woo hoo!

Denny’s offers a senior discount menu for people age 55 and over and I’m told my auto insurance company offers a discount for us seniors.

Is all that really worth celebrating?

It was 37 years ago, on June 2, 1979, that I turned 18 and graduated from North Clayton High School in College Park, Georgia.

I have a 1979 Mercedes 450 SL that qualifies as a vintage car in Alabama. Am I vintage? An antique? It only has 97,523 miles. I wish I could say the same for these knees.

Before I start throwing out all the cute lines like being like wine and getting better with age, I want to tell you

MITCH SNEED Editor

some of the things that I have learned and realized with all the experience that I have gained in my 55 years.

• I have discovered that it doesn’t matter how old you get, if you get your mind right, rolling out of bed is still a breeze. Now, getting up off the floor after you roll off is a little tougher, but still…

• One thing that has made my life better is that I no longer drink or do drugs. No need for that. At this age, standing up real fast has the same effect.

• Every day you have less hair on your head and more hair in other places where there shouldn’t be hair. Does it fall off your head and stick to your back and in your ears or what? What’s up with that?

• They say your memory starts to fail you as you get older. But I don’t remember a single time where I’ve been forgetful. Or have I been? I forget.

• What you thought wouldn’t wait until tomorrow when you were young, will still be waiting on you tomorrow as you get my age.

• I used to lie about my age to make people think I was older. Now when I tell people the wrong age I’m not lying, it’s just that I forgot exactly how old I am.

• I’ve noticed that there

really is something to the whole second childhood syndrome for those of advanced years. Think about this. When you are born you are in diapers, can’t tie your shoes and you’d wake up every four hours wanting something to drink. All I can say about that is that my shoes have Velcro and I keep a bottle of Powerade on the nightstand. I’ll settle for two out of those three, you can Depend on that.

• As you don’t remember names as well as you once did, if you see a familiar face and they say hello and call you by name, you can answer with “Hey there big guy,” or “How are you young lady?”

Those are called terms of endearment.

• Happy hour used to be a time to go hammer drinks after work. Now my Happy Hour is any day when I can squeeze in a nap.

• The older I get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for. I’ve found that I can usually get the same thing if I go back when the people are gone.

• I’ve found that even at my age I still have a chest like Charles Atlas. It’s just that mine has fallen down around my waist.

When you see an attractive young woman and you think, “where were all these pretty girls when I was younger” just remember the answer – the playpen.

I

In search of a good night’s sleep

haven’t slept well for years. Sometimes it takes hours to fall asleep and when I do sleep, it’s not good sleep. If I hear anything out of the norm, I’m on high alert for the rest of the night.

It wasn’t always like this.

One night, just a few years ago, I slept at a friend’s house, and the next morning was told about the neighbors’ house burning down over night. The neighbors came over to the house I was staying at to call 911. Later, in the wee hours of the morning, the house was full of people, including police officers and firemen, and I slept right through it all.

Back in February, my doctor at the VA prescribed a sleep study for me. Because only certain places work with the VA Health Net program, I had to go out of town to have the study conducted. When I set up the appointment, they asked if distance was a factor, and I told them that it wasn’t.

When I got the notification in the mail, my appointment was in Montgomery— Montgomery, Maryland.

Distance turned out to be a factor. It was a simple mistake and was easily corrected.

I finally had it done on May 24 at Jackson Hospital in Montgomery—Montgomery, Alabama. The young lady taking care of me was fantastic and professional in

every way, but I was a bit nervous. My blood pressure usually hovers around 120/80 but when I got there it was 152/122. I’ve been blessed with pretty good health over my lifetime, as evident by this being the first night I’d ever spent in a hospital, but I was uncertain of the outcome, which had me a bit on edge.

She hooked me up to all kinds of wires like a cyborg and puts globs of goo in my hair and then started hooking up little jumper cables to places all over my body—to some places I couldn’t neither see nor reach. I thought that was bad enough but then I had to go to the bathroom. I had visions of electrocution. It was not a pretty sight.

Just before lights out, she taped stuff to my face and shoved some more tubes up my nose. Comfort was not in my future.

In my mind, I didn’t sleep worth a toot, and when she woke me the next morning, I was wide awake.

“How do you think you slept?” she asked.

“Not very well at all,” I

replied. “I was up all night. I didn’t want to get up to use the bathroom, and I’m not used to sleeping on my back.”

“Well, we start grading sleep apnea at 5 and it can go to, well, whatever. We had you at 2.5, and you were asleep 93% of the time,” she said. “That’s amazing! You’re in great health.”

And, I really did feel good, and I have been sleeping better. Three days before the doctor prescribed the study, I decided to cut down on my drinking and haven’t had a drink since, not that I’ve quit.

I’ve also lost 22 pounds since the beginning of the year.

There’s no doubt those two factors are contributing to my better sleeping habits.

Perhaps the key is to cover my body in wires and goo each night. Who knows? It’s worth a shot. It also didn’t hurt that I didn’t have to battle for space on the bed with my dog and cat. It is their bed, after all; they just let me sleep there, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

McKinney

continued from page 1

and one count of possession of a forged instrument.

She had been on paid administrative leave since the allegations surfaced. Windle said the termination would be effective immediately and her pay would stop.

The charges stem from allegations that McKinney had failed to report sexual abuse involving students.

Officials also say they found evidence that she allegedly falsified official documents to obtain free lunches for family members.

McKinney’s attorney, Victoria Relf of Montgomery, did not return calls seeking comment.

At the time of McKinney’s hearing before the Board of Education, board members declined to comment on deliberations or the case following the vote. Windle, at the time, said he appreciated the board’s diligence through the entire process.

“It is a difficult decision for this board to have to make,” Windle said. “It’s not easy to terminate an employee. But I do think that this board did what it needed to do to send a very clear message that the

Tallapoosa County Schools will not tolerate bullying or the abuse of students.

“It is our responsibility to provide a safe and secure environment for the children. It was clear that that wasn’t happening and I applaud the board for their courage to do the right thing for our students.”

The board heard from more than a dozen witnesses in McKinney’s hearing, which lasted more than six hours. The testimony included graphic details of several incidents that involved sexual activity, touching and other acts between students on or near the campus of Councill Middle School.

The details were read at the 2014 hearing by Dadeville Police Department Lt. Chris Martin from notes reportedly taken by McKinney after talking with the students involved.

Martin said the accounts described were not reported to law enforcement by McKinney, but were discovered after one of the parents went to the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department.

Arrests

continued from page 1

there were many participants who were underage and alcohol use among them was present.”

According to Abbett, the following eight people were arrested on charges of minor in possession and consumption of alcohol as a result of the investigation: • Robert Little of Valley Edge Drive in Rockmart, Georgia.

• Earle Hooper of Fernway Drive in Montgomery.

• Richard Flournoy of Waterford Drive in Cartersville, Georgia.

• Timothy Taylor of Lakeridge Drive in Montgomery.

• Bennett Richards of County Road 470 in Haleyville.

• Robert Muschamp of Cave Springs Road SW in Cave Springs, Georgia.

• Hackett Shiflett of Shoals Ferry Road SE in Rome, Georgia.

• Andrew Slocumb of County Road 464 in Cullman.

Abbett said the department’s protocol on such incidents calls for those charged who were over 18 to be booked and placed in jail until posting bond, while any accused offenders under age 18 are taken to the jail and released to their parents.

Abbett said that the case is still under investigation and that officials were still working to determine if any adults were at the gathering or were aware that alcohol was being provided to minors.

Even though officials with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency called Memorial Day weekend the busiest time on Lake Martin, as of midday Monday, they reported no major incidents on the water.

“So far no major incidents to report on Lake Martin,” ALEA spokesman Sgt. Steve Jarrett said.

The agency and marine police spent time last week with the media spreading the word that they would be out in force on the water. They stressed being properly equipped and other potential dangers on the water, including boating while impaired.

The warnings appear to be working.

“Marine Patrol Troopers have been diligently working to create a highly visible presence to encourage voluntary compliance with the boating laws and public safety.”

Stats on citations and other violations on the water will not be available until information can be compiled later this week, Jarrett said.

On the other hand, Highway Patrol Troopers have investigated several traffic fatalities throughout the state. While there have been a number of fatal traffic accidents, none in Tallapoosa County were reported as of noon Monday.

Cornerstone will include a meat (ham, chicken fingers, meat loaf, barbecue chicken or chicken dressing), two vegetables, cornbread or roll and a drink for $6.

Child’s plates, including a meat, a vegetable, bread and a drink, are $3.

Desserts are $1.

There is no admission to the singing, but love offerings will be accepted.

Cornerstone is accepting donated items for the auctions. Any items or baked goods persons wish to donate can me dropped off at the church on Saturday, June 4, from 12 p.m.- 2 p.m. and after 4 p.m.

The accident that

continued from page 1

injured the Salinas siblings occurred when a Ford Ranger driven by Abigail Salinas, 19, left the roadway on Highway 49 South near Veazey Road at approximately 12:45 p.m. on April 16.

The Salinas were en route home from New Site Trade Days.

Samuel, 21, was a passenger in the truck, which rolled an estimated five times into a yard just off the road, ejecting both of the siblings from the vehicle. The vehicle is believed to have rolled over Samuel Salinas.

The two were lifeflighted from New Site Town Hall, where

Trade Days were in progress, to UAB. New Site Mayor Curtis Mims said at the time that once the young victims got back to Town Hall where the father of the siblings was working as a hot dog vendor at Trade Days, the community rallied around the family as they were being transported by the awaiting helicopters.

“The New Site community immediately responded by coming together at the event to pray for the injured victims and their family,” Mims said. “Attendees – adults and children alike – gathered around the family to support

them through prayer and monetary donations.”

First Presbyterian Church News: This was the second Sunday after Pentecost and the service was great. Rev. Ben’s sermon was “not even in Israel…such faith.” With scriptures from Psalm 96, Galatians 1, and Luke 7. Jesus said “I tell you, I have not found such faith in the Lord even in Israel – such faith!”

Who owns the gospel of Jesus?

What is an evangelical Christian?

Rev. Ben said “my message today is ….what is a Christian community?”

He also said when military veterans come home, they no longer have a tribe, a sense of belonging and they often feel disconnected.

Thus suicide rates elevate, sometimes families fall apart, etc. This is a time for the Lord to enter the family and heal with love. Great sermon.

Our choir was full and in beautiful voice! Really enjoyed the music, led

by Director Dale and pianist Dawn Brasell. Talented couple!

The Dadeville Record

Alabama state legislature got very little done this session other than budgets

S

ometimes the best thing that the legislature can do in a session is to pass very little legislation.

That can be said of this year’s regular legislative session, which ended several weeks ago.

Not many bills made it through the legislative labyrinth.

Gov. Robert Bentley made a proposed $800 million prison construction bond issue the cornerstone of his legislative agenda. It failed but not surprising given Bentley’s irrelevance in the legislative process.

The surprising aspect is that the proposal got any traction at all. It came close to passing even though it looked like something that Gerald Wallace would dream up.

Bentley’s prison proposal called for borrowing $800 million in a bond issue with no concrete way to

pay back the debt from a disastrously broke General Fund budget. It was a total secret as to where the four prisons were going to be built.

I am sure this resonated well with senators and representatives who have prisons in their district or close by.

Those prisons in places like Escambia, St. Clair, Elmore and Barbour counties, to name a few, are the largest employers in those counties.

There are also serious questions about the design method proposed for the men’s prisons that would have allowed a single architectural firm to get the contract for all three mega men’s prisons. In addition, one

general contractor was going to get the contract for all four prisons. One bonding firm was going to get the deal to float the bonds. It sounds to me like some folks were going to get rich on this deal. Legislators were asked to buy a pig in a poke.

Legislators did pass both budgets. In fact, they passed them early in the session. Since passing the budgets is the only constitutional mandate for a session, I would give this session a C+. However, since they killed some bad legislation, I might rate the session a B-. Then again, their failure to vote to allow their constituents the opportunity to vote on a lottery may drop them back to a C. It is beyond comprehension how a legislator could not vote to let their people vote on keeping their money in state. Alabamians buy

lottery tickets. They just drive to Georgia, Florida and Tennessee to get them. Thus, giving our money to these states.

It is as though they are saying, “Here, Florida.

We are so rich you can have some of our money.”

They chose instead to cut the Medicaid budget, which will force cuts to services like adult’s and children’s pharmacy and outpatient dialysis. It will also lead to cuts in payments to physicians. Medicaid undergirds Alabama’s entire healthcare delivery system. More than half the births in the state and 47 percent of the children, as well as 60 percent of Alabama’s nursing home residents, are covered by Medicaid.

Bentley had repeatedly asked for more money for Medicaid but the legislature ignored his pleas.

The governor was

on the sidelines on a proposed gas tax increase for roads and bridges in the state. This proposal never really got off the ground. It appears that the road builders and certain mayors have very little influence in the legislature.

Even though the legislature passed a barebones General Fund budget, which cuts state services and state employees’ take home pay again, the special education budget was another story. With the upturn in the economy the education coffers are flush.

The state’s $6.3 billion Education Trust Fund Budget was the largest since 2008.

It included increases for transportation, classroom supplies and a four percent raise for teachers. The Budget also provided full funding for Education Employees Health

Insurance (PEEHIP).

However, that increase was offset by the PEEHIP Board voting to increase the cost of individual plans from $15-$30 a month and family plans from $177 to $207 a month.

There were hints by the Governor that a Special Session may be called for late summer to address the Medicaid problem and his prison bond issue. However, with clouds hovering over the Governor and Speaker of the House, the spectacle of a Special Session is doubtful.

See you next week.

Goodbye, good luck and thank you

NEW YEAR, NEW STORYLINES Five stories to watch in the 2016 high school football season

I

just want to start off by saying ‘thank you.’

Thank you to all of the readers who frequent The Outlook and Dadeville Record sport pages.

Thank you to all of the coaches I have had the pleasure to work with over these past three years.

Thank you to everyone who has given me the smallest bits of praise or criticism.

Thank you to any and everyone who took the time to read anything I have written.

I say all of this because Friday marked the last day of my time at Tallapoosa Publishers.

Since 2011, journalism has been the only profession I have known. It is a field I entered because of my love of telling stories and the different places journalism takes you and people you meet along the way.

Sports in particular have always been my passion, which is why I was thrilled with the opportunity to become sports editor of The Outlook and The Record in December of 2014.

Earlier this year, I was given a tremendous opportunity to continue pursuing that passion and study Sports Business in New York City.

It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I simply could not pass up.

It’s always bittersweet when you move away from a place that becomes like home to you.

The people I have met in this community and the lifelong friends I have made at TPI will always be close to my heart.

I’m thankful for everyone I have met along the way because the people you meet in life help you grow as a person.

It’s been a great ride and I’m thankful for all of the people I have met, memories and stories I have covered, particularly over the past year and a half while living in Alexander City.

Robert Hudson served as a staff writer and sports editor for Tallapoosa Publishers for more than three years. We wish him well in his new journey.

Reeltown under new management

The 2016 high school football season is still months away, but teams around the Tallapoosa County area are already preparing for the changes coming this year.

With new region alignments, new coaches and, of course, new players, teams around the Lake Martin area will have to adjust quickly to ensure success on the gridiron.

Here are five of the top storylines to watch in 2016.

Will Dadeville rebuild or reload?

Like all high school teams, Dadeville lost key players from last season, but few lost as many former All-State athletes as the Tigers.

Alabama signee Shawndarius Jennings, 1,000-yard receiver Tyreke Stone, shutdown corner Isaiah Hicks, and the list goes on.

Jennings went down early in 2015, which enabled Margarius Buchanan to step in at the quarterback position as he finished with 1,399 yards passing, 1,538 yards rushing and 23 touchdowns in the Tigers’ up-tempo offense. With Buchanan returning, the Tigers hope to pick up where they left off.

The athletes, as always, will be there for the Tigers, but will have to step up quickly in a region that includes the
