ACPD makes arrest under ‘revenge porn’ law By MITCH SNEED Editor

The Alexander City Police Department had a situation arise last week that led to the arrest of a man on a new charge that many may not even know exists, but was established to end the victimization of people who took private photos while in relationships that were not intended for anyone but their partner to see.

According to police reports, William Morris Whatley II, 30, of Alexander City was arrested on June 12 for domestic violence and harassment after allegations were made by a woman he had been in a relationship with. According to Alexander City Police Department Chief Jay Turner, the following day the victim was at the police department checking with officers about the case. “While she was here talking with

Cpl. Cross in the domestic violence unit, she got word that there were pictures that were taken of her and the defendant in compromising conditions were posted to the internet,” Turner said. “We were able to verify that the images were there and that the suspect had posted them and we arrested him on the additional charge on June 13.” Whatley was arrested and charged with a crime that has become known as “revenge porn.”

Forty years of service appears to be coming to an end for the volunteers of the Alex City Recycling Center. The downward spiral of pricing for recycled paper has forced the city to close the operation run by volunteers. “I graduated from Russell Corp. in Dec. of 1998,” Clarence Abernathy said. “I went to work here in See RECYCLE • Page 6 Joe Croley, right, a volunteer at the Alexander City Recycling Center presents a token of appreciation to fellow volunteer Clarence Abernathy.

The charge was part of a move to tighten up the state’s sex crimes laws in 2017, where four new categories were added to the state’s sex offense law. Officially known as distribution of an intimate, private image, Turner said he believes this is the first time his department has charged someone under the new provision. According to the office of Attorney General Steve Marshall, the law applies

Volunteers helping with the St. John the Apostle Catholic Church’s monthly Brown Bag Food Ministry load up shopping carts with boxes and bags of food to be given to any one of 200 families who receive assistance through the program.

HELPING HAND Catholic church provides food to those in need By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

Cars lined the road next to St. John the Apostle Church in Alexander City Tuesday morning as the church held its monthly Brown Bag Food Ministry. Local volunteers joined members of the church in sorting through fruits, vegetables and a number of other food items and carrying

them to the vehicles of 200 families registered to be a part of the ministry. “We started this 20 years ago with nine families,” ministry co-coordinator Dennis Wolny said. “Today, we are helping 200 families once a month.” The day began early Tuesday morning, when a truck from the East Alabama Food

The trial in a civil lawsuit involving former leaders at Alexander City’s Great Bethel Baptist Church and the church’s longtime minister Rev. Dr. Emerson Ware Jr. will resume Thursday morning at 9 a.m. Court records indicate that Judge Ray Martin will reconvene testimony and the presentation of evidence will resume after the trial was suspended on April 26 when mountains of financial evidence bogged down testimony. The suit, which was filed on behalf of a group of the church’s board of directors on Oct. 12, 2017, seeks to recover nearly $100,000 as well as complete records and accounting of charges dating back to 2001 made using a business credit card issued in the church’s name. The suit also asks the court to determine which set of bylaws are legally the ones by which the church is governed, citing changes made

Local couple at center of Tallassee shooting Harold Miller, gunman in a double-murder suicide at Walmart in Tallassee Tuesday, was driving one vehicle while Barbara Buttles and his wife Tresea Miller were in another. Harold Miller rammed their car with his, shot his wife Tresea and Buttles and then turned the gun on himself. His body was found lying in the Walmart parking lot outside the vehicle when officials arrived on the scene.

Shooter ignored protective order to kill wife of 43 years, her friend before turning the gun on himself By DAVID GRANGER Managing Editor

Three people – two women and a man – are dead in an apparent murdersuicide in the parking lot of Tallassee Walmart on Tuesday morning. A press release issued Tuesday afternoon by the Tallassee Police Department identified the dead as 65-year-old Harold Miller, his wife,

58-year-old Tresea Miller, and Barbara Buttles, 75. Tallassee Police Chief Matthew Higgins said the incident appeared to be domestic in nature. Court records show that the man had been served with a protective order on Monday and ordered out of the couple’s home and to not have any contact with Tresea Miller or their adult son.

DEAR ABBY: I have a 59-year-old brother-in-law who has always been a “proud bachelor.” He isn’t a rich, handsome, George Clooneytype bachelor, but a handto-mouth, burping, uncouth “Shallow Hal” kind of bachelor. He befriended a woman with four daughters, paying most of his attention to one of the daughters. He would take the woman and her girls to dinner, and take the daughters shopping without the mother. Fast forward eight years. He wants to take the one daughter on a trip to Hawaii. And he has been telling everyone she is now 18 (the girl is still in high school). Should I say something to him, or mind my own business? He will likely hang up on me. I don’t know the daughters or their mom well. Am I wrong to hear some alarm bells going off? -- WARY IN WASHINGTON DEAR WARY: No, you are not wrong. The statement that

DEAR ABBY Advice

the girl is “now 18” is a red flag for me, too. Rather than talk to your brother-in-law, inform the mother that he may be “grooming” her daughter for something more than an innocent tour of the islands. She should have noticed something was amiss eight years ago, when one daughter was singled out for special treatment, and put a stop to it then. DEAR ABBY: I have been with my husband for five years. Early in our relationship, he became violent. Because of my economic status at the time, leaving was not an option. I became pregnant with our child during our first year

together. He ended up getting arrested for domestic violence against me (nothing toward our child) twice, and moved out for a year while court proceedings were taking place. At first, he was incredibly cruel to me. I was so devastated by his arrests that I was grieving as if he had died. He then went through a series of interventions, and sought medical care and psychological counseling. He used to drink, but no longer does. After a year, I let him move back home. But I no longer feel the same toward him. I am terribly unhappy. Even though he hasn’t touched me and has toned down his anger, I can’t forget the things he said and did to me. I don’t want a divorce, though, because I do still love him. I just don’t know how to proceed. Please help me. -- VICTIM IN OREGON DEAR VICTIM: Nowhere in your letter did you mention whether YOU sought counsel-

ing to help YOU recover from the verbal and physical abuse. If you didn’t, do it now. There is a saying, “You can’t unring the bell.” You may love your husband, but verbal abuse can leave as many, or more, scars than physical abuse does. Until and unless you can completely forgive him for what he did to you, you won’t be able to move on. And by the way, if it turns out that you cannot, don’t blame or punish yourself for it. Sometimes it’s better for two people who care about each other to go their separate ways because it is healthier for both of them.

Rain is all around us

t rains so often, it feels like England to me. Well, that is except for the heat here. We get loads of thunder and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;singleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; phone rings as the storms stir around in the skies deciding where to drizzle what they have accumulated. Our home phone is still out for incoming calls and may stay that way until these daily storms move along. Sunday, it missed a good chance, threatened all day, but nary a drop. I hope all the dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had a special day and with family visits and a good dinner. Ron and I toasted ours, and my brother Maurice as being the best dads we know, all now in heaven. Well, Ron and I decided we could go to Alex City Saturday and get back before the rains came. We had lunch at Cazadores Mexican cuisine. On our way inside, Sharon Culberson and her lovely daughter Leah were on their way out. Leahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newly-born baby boy, Kayden will have kidney surgery today. Please keep him in your prayers for a great, successful surgery and recovery. We had not been to Cazadores in a while, so our food was extra good and extra delicious. Plus, they had a cheese dip with smoky flavor, beans and fresh pico. It was so flavorful, and a great topping for any meal or chip break. My special favorite is No. 18 lunch special. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so delicious that I could eat it almost

Now that we have been able to get the Infiniti repaired, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud to have my car back. If I have an errand, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave Ron stranded. We were lucky to find a great mechanic in Coosa County, not having to use the dealer in Montgomery. The Humane Shelter of Elmore County has a fundraiser this Friday starting at 4 p.m. on the hill at Blue Ridge Casa Napoli Italian Restaurant on Highway 231 South. Ten percent of all sales will go the shelter to take care of the many animals. You can also take donations of food items and cleaning supplies. Ron and I celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary this Friday. Whew, forty years on June 22. Happy Birthday to Farrow Wallace Burks on June 24.

State judicial races are shifting color

We must help T prevent suicide among veterans

he U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs released findings from its most recent analysis of veteran suicide data for all 50 states and the District of Columbia on Monday. The report is filled with data, but it shows that the average number of veterans who died by suicide each day remained unchanged at 20. Numbers showing the rate hasn’t increased is positive, but even one suicide a day should be enough to spur action and compassion around mental health care for all those who served in any branch of the military, in wartime or in times of peace. Statistics show that the veteran suicide rate is more than twice the suicide rate for the rest of the adult population — a divide that has been growing. The study shows suicide among military veterans is especially high in the western U.S. and rural areas. Issues like social isolation, gun ownership and lack of access to health care may be factors, the study suggested. Another big concern is the difficulties that many soldiers face in making the transition from military life, where their lives are controlled and managed by the military, to civilian life, where individual soldiers must take more personal responsibility and initiative. Long waits to be seen by VA clinics is also a factor that multiples the stress level of veterans This report also includes data that shows: • The suicide rate increased faster among veterans who had not recently used Veterans Health Administration health care than among those who had. We believe headway is being made, but ending the backlog in veterans waiting for healthcare needs to be a top priority. We hope that the new initiative allowing vets to seek treatment outside the VA when delays are encountered will also help end the frustration for these brave folks. Seeing medical professionals more often may help detect veterans who may be nearing crisis level. We also suggest that initiatives that have begun be stepped up. These include: • Expansion of the Veterans Crisis Line. • Creation of new crosssector partnerships. • Implementation of the Joint Action Plan for supporting veterans during transition from uniformed service to civilian life. • Launch of SAVE online suicide prevention training. • Development of the forthcoming National Strategy for Preventing Veteran Suicide. We must do all we can to help our veterans, physically and mentally. They deserve the best.

his is not just a gubernatorial year in the Heart of Dixie. We have every constitutional office up for election which includes Lt. Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, State Auditor and Agriculture Commissioner. We also have a good many of the State Judicial races on the ballot. We have nine seats on our State Supreme Court. We have five judges on the Court of Criminal Appeals, as well as five seats on the Court of Civil Appeals. All of these judicial posts are held by Republicans. Therefore, it is more than likely safe to assume that the winner of the Republican primary will be elected to a six-year term and can be fitted for their robe, at least by July 17. In fact, Democrats usually do not even field candidates in state judicial races. Over the past two decades, a prevailing theme has been that women have become favored in state judicial races. In fact, it was safe to say that if you put two candidates on the ballot for a state judicial position, one named John Doe and the other Jane Doe, and neither campaigned or spent any money, Jane Doe would defeat John Doe. However, for some inexplicable reason, this prevalence reversed itself on June 5 in the Republican primary. In the much-anticipated race for the extremely important Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, position two of the sitting members of the Supreme Court were pitted against each other. Justice Lyn Stuart, who is the longest serving member on the State Supreme Court, had moved into the Chief Justice role after the departure of Judge Roy Moore. She was running for Chief Justice for the full six-year term. Justice Tom Parker was Roy Moore’s closest ally and is

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist now the most socially conservative activist on the court. Parker and Moore dip from the same well. Parker chose to challenge Stuart for Chief Justice. The Lyn Stuart vs Tom Parker contest was billed as one of the titanic battles of the primary season. Stuart was the darling of the business community. Parker openly was carrying the banner of the social conservatives. Parker bested Stuart 52 percent to 48 percent. Most of Parker’s financial backing came from plaintiff trial lawyers. Parker does have Democratic opposition from Birmingham attorney, Robert Vance, Jr. However, he should win election in November. Judge Brad Mendheim was facing two prominent female Circuit judges, Debra Jones of Anniston and Sarah Hicks Stewart of Mobile, for Place 1 on the State Supreme Court. Mendheim has been a longtime popular Circuit Judge in Dothan. He was appointed to this Supreme Court seat by Governor Kay Ivey earlier this year. Mendheim decisively outdistanced his female opponents by garnering 43 percent of the vote. He is expected to win election to a full six-year term on the high tribunal on July 17. Another example of the male uprising in the court contests occurred in the race for a seat on the Court of Civil Appeals. Judge Terri Willingham Thomas, who has been on this court since 2006 and has served with distinction, was shockingly defeated by her

unknown male opponent, Chad Hanson. Pickens County Prosecutor Chris McCool forged to the front in the race for a seat on the Court of Criminal Appeals. He led 43 to 35 over Rich Anderson from the Montgomery/River Region. In the other court races, the candidate who raised the most money and was able to buy some TV time prevailed. In the State Supreme Court race in Place 4, two Birmingham attorneys, John Bahakel and Jay Mitchell, were pitted against each other. Mitchell significantly outspent Bahaked and won 73 to 27. Christy Edwards of Montgomery and Michelle Thomason of Baldwin County are headed for a runoff for a seat on the Court of Civil Appeals. Richard Minor defeated Riggs Walker overwhelmingly 66 to 34 for a seat on the Court of Criminal Appeals. In the seat for Place 3 on the Court of Criminal Appeals there was yet another display of male dominance in the court races. Bill Cole bested Donna Beaulieu 60 to 40. On Saturday before the primary, legendary Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, Clement Clay “Bo” Torbert, passed away at 88 in his beloved City of Opelika. His funeral was on Election Day. Judge Torbert served as Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court for 12 years, 1976 to 1988. He had previously served two terms in the State Senate prior to his election as Chief Justice.

How to

That’s just life

ast week, I had one of those gigs that turned out to be just perfect. It was for a locally owned company Apartment Services & Management Inc. I even knew the owners’ daughter. I had a wonderful time, and I think the guests did, too. I often write about gigs that go well. Rest assured, however, that all of them do not go off without a hitch. Let me be more precise. A hitch is OK. A hitch is when the microphone goes out when you’re performing for troops at an amphitheater in Egypt on the banks of the Red Sea, but you just drop the mic and talk louder. Hitches are okay. Some gigs just don’t go well. Last month, I performed at first responders breakfast. I’ve spoken at many events early in the morning. That has never been an issue. I’ve spoken at a breakfast in Chattanooga to a room full of accountants that went very well, which says a lot— no offense to accountants. This particular breakfast just didn’t stack up to the others. The coordinators were nice as always. I did an evening event for them the month prior at the same venue that could not have gone any better. The venue was a gym, and because it was early, and people had to work, it was not as full. It’s hard doing comedy when there is a large room with few people. The laughter just tends to dissipate. On top of that, there were people in there walking around the track above us. They were either oblivious to the fact that there was an event going on beneath them, or they just didn’t care. Either way, I almost threw a doughnut at one old man. I had a gig last month at a college athletic banquet in Georgia. It was brutal. It was the longest 15

JODY FULLER Columnist minutes of my life. I usually go 45 minutes to an hour with ease. Oh, was it brutal. The student athletes could not have been less interested in what I had to say. I wanted to call a time out or just forfeit the game altogether, but I didn’t. I somehow got through it in one piece, albeit with shattered pride. I regained my confidence three days later at a fundraiser in Bessemer, then a couple of days later in Opelika, capped off a week later in Indianapolis. I did a large room in Kuwait for a group of American contractors a couple of years ago. When I say it was a large room, think “Superdome” large. It may not have been that big, but that’s what it seemed like. It was if I was standing at the 50-yard line and there were 200 people scattered around the dome. The tiny kids running around me made it even better. You know when a preacher says the blessing, followed by the word “Amen” and no one says “Amen” after his “Amen” that it’s going to be a hard day’s night. That’s what happened at an appreciation dinner in Milton, Florida, a few years back. Oh, it was dreadful, but the prime rib was to die for. Can you imagine performing in the midway at a carnival? That’s what it was like when I did a show for the sailors of the USS Theodore Roosevelt in Dubai in 2009. I think I only went about 20 minutes. The

guy after me did less than that. They kept yelling “You suck!” I know we didn’t suck. They were just drunk sailors. I outranked most of them, so I should have shut them up. Oh, well. I got to travel to Dubai. You have to find the silver lining in everything. I did a corporate gig in Mississippi where my mind went blank, and I literally forgot the words to everything. I’d been taking medication and decided to quit taking it cold turkey instead of weaning myself off it. That was a big mistake. There was the time I performed for a college in Virginia at the food court in the student activity building. That was dismal. I even left my flip flops in the hotel room. I think that was the last college I did until the one in Georgia last month. I’ve done gigs since then for faculty that have gone well, but none for students. You just have to be able to relate to your audience. Speaking of colleges, I performed at the University of Alabama a few years ago. Talk about awful… The Apartment Services & Management, Inc. show will go down as a good one. They even had an ice cream bar set up for their guests. Hold on to the good memories and learn from the bad ones. Most shows go well, but there are always going to be stinkers along the way. That’s just life.

Recycle January. It has been great camaraderie with great friends. It has been a pleasure to help the organization.” “It is going to be a sad day not to see it operating,” said William Stewart, who was been volunteering at the center since 2002. The volunteers spent one of their last days in a building they help construct in 1998 handing out proceeds from their efforts to community organizations. “Pure joy, what we are doing here today,” Stewart said. “It is a sad day,” Aaron Shaddix said. “I have been coming often. We would get the paper and sweat to get it out to serve the community. It gave us a warm and fuzzy feeling inside.” For decades they passed checks to area organizations that everyone recognizes and that was one of the last functions to be held in the building, but not without some recognition of the volunteers’ efforts. “Eight men from Oct. 2016 to Sept. 2017 put in 1,309 hours of volunteer service here,” Carley Cummins said. “And from Oct. 2017 to April of this year, they worked another 604 hours. They put in a lot of hours. They care about this

continued from page 1 community.” Over the years many have donated their time to the cause. Lately, Joe Croley has been the group’s spokesperson. “The recycle center has been a remarkable institution since 1978,” Croley said. “I am just a rookie amongst these guys. The city has been a partner for a long time.” Croley hopes the group can someday return to their efforts of serving the community. “Maybe down the road we will see you again in this building,” Croley said. “Let’s hope and pray something happens and makes it better.” Organizations receiving funds from the efforts of the volunteers of the Alex City Recycling Center were: Alexander City Board of Education, Campfire Girls, the Alexander City Education Gateway Foundation, Alex City Rescue Squad, After the Bell, Lake Martin Area Boys & Girls Club, the Benjamin Russell High School Band, Camp ASCCA, Children’s Harbor, Tallapoosa Crisis Center, Meals on Wheels, Sav-A-Life, Salvation Army, Tallapoosa Aid to People, Tallapoosa Care and Refuge and Volunteer Connections of Central Alabama.

last summer by Ware to bylaws that have been in place since 1980. Alexander City attorney Mitch Gavin filed the suit on behalf of the group. Named as plaintiffs in the suit are Calvin Broughton, Jimmy Brock, David Dexter, Willie George Robinson, Jimmy Boleware, Robert Boleware Jr., Raymond Caffey and Richard Burton. Attorney Jason Jackson represents Ware in the case. Jimmy Boleware served as a deacon, trustee, treasurer and a member of the board of directors at Great Bethel. The man who said he has gone to the church for 60 years broke down in tears when he talked about discovering the way the church’s money had been misused. Boleware testified about a box of

records found when a mechanical room at the church was being cleaned before a fire inspection in 2016. He said the box contained cancelled checks, check receipts and credit card statements that he said pointed to misuse of church funds. After carefully examining the records, he testified that he found them to be personal mortgage payments, unauthorized payments to Ware, unapproved honorariums, unapproved expenditures, unauthorized housing allowances, credit card purchases and the money paid to Ware from Section 8 reimbursements. He said they totaled more than $130,000. As Boleware was going through the five binders of financial

A first offense is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail. Subsequent offenses are Class C felonies, punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Turner said he hopes the law can serve as a deterrent. “With technology, there have become a whole new set of issues where those involved in a troubled relationship can be subjected to a different kind of abuse, humiliation and harassment,” Turner said. “Until this law was passed, we saw people using photos that were taken to blackmail victims by saying that if they didn’t comply, they would circulate the pictures. We hope that the law will help serve as a reminder that sometimes things done in private need to stay private and that often those pictures and things can be very dangerous.”

records, full of checks and other financial information that Jackson said he had not had time to examine. Judge Martin suspended the trial, asked Jackson and Gavin to work out a plan for Jackson to review the records and then report back to the court. Gavin confirmed Tuesday afternoon that the defense had met with him to examine Boleware’s financial records. At the time the trial was suspended, Gavin had more witnesses to testify. Gavin said he is likely to complete the testimony with Jimmy Boleware before resting his case. Ware and his defense attorney Jackson will then begin calling witnesses and introducing evidence to defend himself against the evidence and allegations.

Shooting

continued from page 1

“It does appear that two of the victims were husband and wife or estranged husband and wife,” Higgins said early Tuesday. TPD’s preliminary investigation “determined that there was a previous history of domestic incidents between the family members.” According to court records, Fifth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Tom Young signed a protective order on Monday for Tresea Miller in what apparently was the beginning of her filing for a divorce from her husband, Harold. The couple’s Tallassee home was in Tallapoosa County. Two vehicles were involved in the incident, Higgins said. Harold Miller was driving one vehicle and the women were in the other. Miller apparently rammed the women’s car with his, shot the women and then turned the gun on himself. Both of the women were pronounced dead at the scene inside one of the vehicles, a white Nissan SUV which had taken nine gunshots to or through the windshield. The women died from multiple gunshots, according to the press release. Harold Miller’s body was found lying in the parking lot. His wound was selfinflicted, Higgins said. The Tallassee Police Department received a call about the incident at 10:15 a.m.

“We heard him empty (the gun) out, there was a pause and then we heard one more,” said a neighbor, who lives diagonally across Gilmer Avenue from the Walmart. “I heard ‘em shooting and I thought they might have been shooting a snake and caused a wreck or something.” Higgins said there was never any danger inside the Walmart, that the entire incident took place outside the store some distance away from the entrance. Higgins said TPD officers responded within five minutes of receiving the call. He said the Elmore County Sheriff’s Office and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency were assisting at the scene. The Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is also involved in the investigation, looking into the gun and spent cartridges found at the scene. Court records show that the Millers had been married 43 years, but Tresea Miller’s affidavit for a protective order said that she had been verbally abused for decades and was recently beaten and bruised by her husband. The document also claimed that Harold Miller threatened to kill their 23-year-old son with a hammer. Harold Miller was ordered to not come within 1,000 feet of his wife or son and had a court hearing set for July 18 in Dadeville.

Food

continued from page 1

Bank in Opelika arrived with the monthly food delivery, bringing bags of apples, potatoes and cabbages, turkey breasts and boxes of rice and beans to be distributed to those in need. While the families began lining up to receive food from the ministry, many of the volunteers were hard at work inside the church fellowship hall sorting through the various goods, piling tables high with items, while others followed, filling shopping carts with enough food to serve two families before carrying them out to those waiting in their vehicles. “We aren’t always sure of what will come in, but we are usually able to hand out dried goods, canned goods, fruits and vegetables and a basic meat product,” Wolny said. “We don’t pick from a menu. What the food bank gives us is based on what they have in their food lockers. “A lot of the money we purchase food with comes from donations. We do receive some funds from the local United Way, as well from the Diocese of Birmingham.” Even though the church may not always have the greatest amount of funds to be able to help everyone in need, Wolny said the money they use to purchase food from the East Alabama Food Bank does go a

COOSA VALLEY

MRI

relatively long way. For every $8 spent, the Brown Bag Food Ministry is able to receive an amount of food from the food bank that retails for around $30. Wolny said those who wish to receive some assistance through the church’s Brown Bag Food Ministry can come by St. John and fill out an application. As the program falls under federal guidelines, the program is adjusted every year based on factors like poverty level, and the ministry is audited annually to make sure it is helping those who truly do need the help. While anyone in need can come and fill out an application, Wolny said there is a waiting list of about 25 to 30 families who have submitted applications. For those who have qualified to receive assistance, they are able to come to the church on the third Tuesday morning of every month to pick up the food. While the church could always use some additional volunteer help to sort through and distribute the food every month, Wolny said the church was happy to offer the Brown Bag Food Mininstry to those who need the assistance. “We’re proud to be a part of this,” he said. “There is a need in our community, and we are proud to be able to help fill that need.”

New Site council talks health clinic on the horizon

Residents in New Site may have a health clinic just down the road in the future, while town employees will be able to obtain health insurance from the town soon, thanks to actions taken by the New Site Town Council at Monday night’s meeting. Russell Medical CEO Jim Peace and Chief Financial Officer Matt Fisher were on hand to discuss the hospital’s plans for setting up a clinic in town as a way to address the health needs of local residents. “We started on this journey a long time ago,” Peace said. “New Site has been on our radar screen for a while. We do have a significant interest in bringing a clinic to this community.” One thing that has held up the process some has been navigating governmental bureaucracy. With certain state and federal statutes that govern how rural healthcare can be handled, Peace and Russell Medical representatives have met with Gov. Kay Ivey and several other high-ranking state officials in order to receive a waiver from the government to receive the proper HIPPA rating designation for Tallapoosa County to bring this clinic to town. Funding is also a critical issue, but grants are available that can make this happen, though these are timesensitive and can only be applied

for by the town government. Despite the hurdles that have had to be overcome in order to reach this point, the council had nothing but positive things to say about the effort to bring a clinic to New Site. “There have been a number of people working on this. It was a real team effort,” New Site Mayor Phil Blasingame said. “We feel Russell Medical having a physician out here would be outstanding. Being able to have a first-class medical facility like Russell Medical come to us will be a great benefit. We are looking forward to doing our part to make this happen.” “It’s going to be a great thing for us to have this,” Councilman Billy Daniel said. Over the past several months, the council has been working on trying to be able to provide health insurance for all town employees. Following a work session last week, the council came to the conclusion that the Local Government Insurance Plan offered through the state would be the best policy to obtain. While the council agreed on going with this policy, there were several minutes of discussion on the premium amount the city would be able to pay for. Once the discussion subsided, a motion for payments of $200 towards the premium was approved. Blasingame said this

will be voluntary for all town employees and that the council members can also be a part of this, though they would be on their own to pay for the premium. The New Site Town Council also addressed the following matters: • Minutes from the June 4 regular meeting and June 14 work session were approved. • Following discussion at a recent work session, the council passed a motion and subsequent resolution to change the town’s sales tax collection service from Revenue Discovery Systems to the Alabama Department of Revenue. • The council received an update regarding the work to upgrade the town water system. The firm working on the project said it is in the process of obtaining water supply permits from the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. Once these are obtained, the group will go through the advertising and bidding process so that the actual work can begin. Under the current timetable, the firm estimates that work will be completed around Thanksgiving. • Following a special meeting last week between the town and representatives from the East Alabama Planning Commission regarding grants for the New Site Senior Activity Center, in which 64 seniors attended, a wishlist of items for the center was put together, including equipment

for the kitchen area, items for a proposed exercise room, upgrading the restrooms and improving the exterior of the building. Blasingame said an architect from McKee & Associates will be coming to inspect the center Wednesday and help determine what might be feasible to apply for grant money for. • The council passed a motion to purchase a quarter-page ad in the upcoming “South’s Best-Kept Secret” newcomer’s guide. “I see people carrying it around for a long time,” Blasingame said. “I think it would be a good thing. We have a lot of good things happening out here.” • During the process for re-bidding the work for the life safety electrical services system in the New Site gymnasium, only one bid was received. This bid, like the only bid received during the initial bid process, was for $46,000. Councilman Toby Hanson asked if it could be broken into separate projects, where one group make the necessary electrical changes and another firm handle the fire safety aspects. Blasingame said he would look into this, while a motion was approved to table the matter. • New Site Senior Activity Center Director Jan Kennedy said things were still going well at the center, with the monthly luncheon scheduled for Wednesday. A representative from ARISE will

be speaking, while Commissioner John McKelvey will be on hand to hold a training session on the new defibrillator he recently helped the center obtain. • Reviewing the town finances, it was announced that, despite a couple of bills that led expenditures to be slightly higher than revenue during the month of May, the town had brought in $307,000 for the budget year so far and had revenue over expenses for the year of $43,000. The water budget was also in good shape, with $317,000 in revenue and $261,000 in expenses for the year. “We are doing very well,” Blasingame said. • Councilman Mickey Carter reported the parks department received a $600 quote to fix the gutters on both sides of the press box at the old New Site football field. A motion to approve moving forward with this work was passed. • It was announced that the list for potential water projects was still being put together. • The council agreed to have a work session at 4 p.m. on Monday, July 2 before the council meeting to discuss matters regarding the health clinic and town gymnasium. • Everyone in attendance was reminded that town hall will be closed Wednesday, July 4 for the Independence Day holiday. The next meeting of the New Site Town Council will be Monday, July 2 at 5 p.m. in New Site Town Hall.

ANDY GRAHAM Columnist

Previewing AU’s schedule: Part I

e are officially only 72 days away from the Auburn Tigers taking on the Washington Huskies at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta to kickoff the 2018 college football season. Fall practice will begin in a little over a month and SEC Media Days, which will also be in Atlanta this year at the College Football Hall of Fame, begins in a mere 26 days. Since I got a rousing response (not really) from so many (a couple of people) about my three-part series previewing Auburn’s football schedule last year, I felt like duty (lack of originality) demanded I do it again this year. Sept. 1 vs. Washington (in Atlanta) ̽ Chris Peterson enters his 5th season as head coach of the Huskies with a record of 37-17. Washington won the Pac12 in 2016 going 12-1, but fell to Alabama in the CFP Semifinal 24-7. The Huskies followed up that playoff berth with a 10-3 season in 2017 and a Fiesta Bowl loss to Penn State 35-28. Many pundits believe 2018 might represent Chris Peterson’s best Washington team since his arrival in Seattle. A lot of that has to do with returning QB Jake Browning who has thrown for 8,929 yards and 77 TDs in his career. The Huskies also return a nearly 1,300-yard rusher in Myles Gaskin. The front seven are immensely talented and quite deep as well. This game will be extremely challenging for Auburn. Neither team will be eliminated from playoff consideration with a loss, but the winner will assuredly be viewed as a serious contender and build up some significant momentum right out of the gate. Sept. 8 vs. Alabama State ̽ The Hornets come from the SWAC Conference in the Football Championship Subdivision. Alabama State was 5-6 in 2017 and lost to Troy 34-7. I suppose if Auburn is going to write a big check for a team to come in and take a beating, it’s good for the money to stay in the state. Sept 15. vs. LSU ̽ Several early predictions have LSU finishing 4th or 5th in the Western division. Obviously, Ed Orgeron’s leadership is being called into question by quite a few pundits. I couldn’t agree more, but I also need not remind anyone that Auburn blew a 20 point lead in Baton Rouge a year ago. I would hope Gus Malzahn remembers it quite well and has this game proverbially circled on the calendar. The Bayou Tigers finished 2017 with a record of 9-4 and a loss to Notre Dame in the Citrus Bowl. LSU always has dynamic receivers, capable running backs and a salty defense. However, they also almost always have issues at quarterback. That seems to be true again in 2018. Auburn has no business losing this game. Sept. 22 vs. Arkansas ̽ Bret Bielema was fired last season after five very unremarkable years in Fayetteville. The Hogs bottomed out in 2017 with a record of 4-8 and have lost to the Auburn Tigers the last two years by a combined score of 108-23. Chad Morris comes over from SMU where he did an excellent job considering what he inherited. The Mustangs went 2-10, 5-7 and 7-5, improving every year. Arkansas has been built the last five years to be a physical running football team. Morris runs an up-tempo spread offense similar to Malzahn. 2018 will more than likely be a difficult transition year for the Razorbacks. Andy Graham is a regular columnist for The Outlook.

Games to Watch

Reeltown should contend for region Editor’s Note: Throughout the summer, The Outlook will be exploring the top three games to watch for each area football team, followed by a series about the top players to watch in the area. By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

With a slew of strong skill players returning and only six seniors having graduated from last year’s squad, Reeltown should be the team to watch in Tallapoosa County. The Rebels went the furthest in the playoffs last season and have gotten steadily better each year under Matt Johnson, who enters his third season as the Rebel coach. Especially due to defending state champion Lanett dropping down to Class 1A, Reeltown has a good shot at contending for the Class 2A Region 4 title but it’s not going to be an easy road.

Week 1: Dadeville Tigers

As always, the Battle of Route 49 is a game to watch for both the Rebels and the Tigers. One of the biggest rivalries in the area, this series dates back to 1935 and has been played every year since 1972. Dadeville leads the series 37-15 and has won the past three seasons in a row, but it could be the Rebels’ turn this season. Not only is Dadeville expected to go through a bit of a rebuilding year after the graduation of offensive powerhouses Qua Tucker and Kadore Glenn, but Reeltown should also be coming into this game on a high note after playing Bullock County, which was 2-8 last year, in Week 1. Reeltown will also be playing with a fire, as it looks to avenge last year’s loss to Dadeville. The Rebels led 10-0 at halftime before watching their lead slip away in a 14-10 defeat at the hands of the

Tigers.

Week 4: LaFayette Bulldogs

This game will be a big one for a couple reasons. LaFayette edged out Reeltown for the No. 2 spot in the region last year and the right to host a first-round playoff game. The Rebels lost last year’s game, 21-7, but felt they could’ve beaten the Bulldogs and changed their postseason fate. Reeltown scored the first touchdown and went into the halftime break tied 7-7 before once again letting thing the game slip from its grasp. Also, this will be Reeltown’s first home game of the season.

Although this is the Rebels’ fifth game of the year, they start the season on a four-game road trip so they won’t be in front of their home crowd until Sept. 21. But this marks the start of four straight home games. Due to the relatively weak nature of Region 4, this game could also decide quite a lot down the line despite it being just the midway point of the region schedule.

Week 6: Thorsby Rebels

Thorsby is a newcomer to Class 2A Region 4 and should prove to be one of Reeltown’s tougher tests of the season. The Rebels of Thorsby are coming off one of their best

seasons in school history. They won eight games last season to set a school record and went 7-2 in the regular season before falling to Goshen in the second round of the postseason. Reeltown has dominated Thorsby in the four-game series. The Rebels have never lost to Thorsby and have outscored it 171-28, but it’s important to note the last time these teams met was 2003. Like the LaFayette game, this should also help clear out the playoff picture with only two region games remaining for each team after Week 6. Reeltown faces Central Coosa and Vincent in its final two region games of the year.

New Site reigns supreme at area tournament STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

New Site’s 10U All-Star softball team continued its dominance with a victory at the South Area tournament in Holtville on Saturday. The All-Stars went 4-0 on the day. To begin, they dominated Alex City, 14-1, before eking out a 3-2 victory over Dadeville in pool play. New Site then turned right around and played Dadeville in the first game of the bracket and earned a 6-1 victory. In the championship game, Millbrook was no contest for New Site, which won 7-1. Lily Moss and Rylee Jordan were the top hitters for the all-stars, each smacking five singles. Jordan also had a double and drove in six runs, while Moss was credited with five RBIs. Paislee Greyce Sharpe plated five runs on three singles, and Alisa Forman and Sophie Price each had three RBIs. Forman had three singles, and Price had a single and a double.
