Officials say bear sightings declining

By David Granger and Mitch Sneed Outlook Staff Writers

After a flurry of activity last week, it appears that the bear activity in Tallapoosa County has subsided.

Conservation Officer Sgt. Michael East said that there have been no new reports since early last week, indicating that the bear, or bears, spotted in Jacksons Gap Pitchford Hollow Road areas may have moved on.

“We haven’t had any more sightings since the first part of last week,” East said. “We think it may have moved into Coosa County. We went out a couple of days and just the signs that we were seeing, it looks like that’s the general direction it was traveling. That’s what it looks like right now.”

VIOLENT CRASH SNARLS TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY 22

Officials warn of exposure to heat

By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

A Tuesday afternoon crash on Highway 22 East near the entrance to the Charles E. Bailey Jr. Sportplex left one man seriously injured and a trail of debris scattered for more than 100 yards after the violent crash between a utility body pickup truck and a logging truck. The crash happened at about 4:30 p.m., but investigators were unable to release many details due to the ongoing investigation. Alexander Fire Department crews used the Jaws of Life to free the driver of the pickup from the wreckage. He was taken by ambulance to Russell Medical Center and flown to UAB for further evaluation and treatment. The details surrounding the crash will be released as they are made available.

It’s summer in central Alabama so to no one’s surprise it’s hot.

But with temperatures like Tuesday’s 94 degrees and a heat index of 103 degrees and more of the same in the forecast, the summer swelter can be dangerous.

Dehydration, heat exhaustion and heat stroke are very real possibilities for those who are exposed to the extreme heat for extended periods.

That’s why the National Weather Service as well as medical professionals are warning area residents to keep as cool as possible.

NWS has issued a heat advisory that will remain in effect until midnight tonight. They say, barring any showers, the heat index could reach 107 degrees today.

Boys and Girls Club one step closer for Camp Hill

By Cliff Williams Outlook Staff Writer

The Friends of the Children of Camp Hill hosted a successful Children’s Fun Day this past weekend as the group tries to raise funds and awareness to start a Boys and Girls Program in Camp Hill.

“It went very well,” Friends Vice President Cindy Gillenwaters said.

“We had a real good day.”

The day of fun was used to introduce the children and their parents to the programs of the Boys and Girls Club and to raise funds to start the program.

“We made close to $3,000 and had over 100 children there,” Gillenwaters said. “That is a success any way you look at it. It will take $58,000 to start it and every bit

helps. We are so thankful to everyone that helped. The three businesses in Camp Hill all donated to the cause.

Foodland of Dadeville was so generous. We only spent $250 for supplies, so all those donations helped make it a success.”

Gillenwaters said it was a group effort to pull off the successful day.

Far too often, boating fun takes a fatal turn when alcohol is involved. Alcohol is, in fact, responsible for 21 percent of boating fatalities, making it the leading contributing factor in recreational boater deaths.

To combat this problem, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) is teaming up with its national partners to fight Boating Under the Influence (BUI) and participating in Operation Dry Water on Friday, June 26, to Sunday, June 28. A yearround BUI awareness and enforcement campaign, the

initiative includes heightened awareness during the weekend prior to the Fourth of July, a holiday known for drinking, boating – and deadly boating deaths.

Col. John E. Richardson is director of ALEA’s Department of Public Safety, which comprises Marine Patrol Division and Highway Patrol Division.

He said he hopes everyone has an enjoyable time on the water this summer. “We simply ask that all boaters take the pledge to never drink and drive a boat, to never be intoxicated on a boat, to never be irresponSubmitted / The Outlook sible, to never endanger Keeping the water safe is the goal of ALEA’s Department of Public Safety and the Marine Patrol Division and they are joining the national Operation Dry Water campaign.

DEAR ABBY Advice

tional toll on me. Please give me some advice. -- MISSING A FRIEND IN CANADA DEAR MISSING: Gladly.

Find the nearest rape and sexual assault treatment center in your province and make an appointment immediately! You need more help than anyone can give you in a letter, and the people there can counsel you not only on what to do, but also what your options are at this point. Your friend should absolutely be informed about what she’s getting into if she marries your rapist, but I do not recommend that you tell her until you have strong emotional support beside you.

DEAR ABBY: Our married

son and two young children live in Kurdistan, Iraq. They are volunteering for a charity that helps Syrian refugees. While we admire their noble efforts, we struggle with the daily sacrifices this brings to our whole family.

We work full time and could save up to visit them, but because we are not comfortable with their choice to live in this dangerous part of the world, we continue to refuse their invitation. What do you advise? Are we being self-centered? -- SO FAR AWAY DEAR SO FAR AWAY: No, you are being rational and selfprotective. Not only do I not think you are self-centered, I’m suggesting you keep them in your prayers and use Skype or video chatting to stay in contact.

DEAR ABBY: Recently a friend invited me to a sex toy party. The saleswoman hosting the event is a distant acquaintance.

What is the most polite way

to ask her if she has informed her family of her profession? Is it OK to attend if she hasn’t told her relatives she sells sex products? If I refuse her invitation, would it be polite to enclose an order for some of her products? I prefer to buy from a reputable saleswoman rather than some anonymous website.

-- AWKWARD IN ILLINOIS DEAR AWKWARD: I don’t think it would be appropriate to ask your hostess whether she has informed her family about her career, although I suspect she has made them aware of it.

And if you prefer to decline the invitation, I’m sure enclosing an order for her products would be fine with her -- and possibly the start of an ongoing business relationship.

DEAR ABBY: Six months ago, my best friend’s fiance raped me. He is a man I’ve known for many years, and I didn’t see it coming. I became pregnant but had a miscarriage two months later. I recently had to have a hysterectomy from damage incurred from the rape and the miscarriage.

I never went to the police or pressed charges, and very few people are aware of the whole horrific experience. I have been beyond traumatized by what happened.

My best friend knows nothing about it, and I have been unable to face her since that awful night. We text now and then, and she keeps asking why I have suddenly dropped out of her life. I don’t know if I can tell her the truth. We were as close as sisters, and I honestly miss her like crazy, but I can’t be part of her life if this monster is in it.

Do I tell the truth? Or do I just shut her out of my life? This has taken a physical and emo-

Obituaries Marvin Grady Mann Marvin Grady Mann was the youngest of eight children born to Joseph Minton Mann and Susie Willoughby Mann. He arrived on September 30, 1924 greeted by three brothers and three sisters who soon took to his gentle and loving nature.

His childhood was spent on the family farm in Tallapoosa County

Alabama doing his part to earn a living from the land until his graduation from Daviston Mann High School.

In World War II, Grady left the farm with his three brothers to volunteer for

military service. Although it was his intent to enlist in the Navy, Grady said he “got volunteered” for the Marine Corps. He stormed the beach in the Battle for Iwo Jima with the USMC 4th Division and fought until he was evacuated after being wounded by an enemy grenade. Grady was awarded the Purple Heart for battlefield injuries. His military service was a source of great pride.

Upon returning from the war, Grady met and wed Hilda Clark. They were married for 53 years.

Grady and Hilda made their home in Langdale, Alabama where they both worked at Langdale Mill.

They enjoyed gospel singing and would travel long distances to hear their favorite groups.

Grady more recently served the LORD through West End Baptist Church and loved spending time with his Church Family.

He developed very dear relationships with many friends and especially liked playing dominos and cards with those he loved.

Grady was re-united with his family in Glory on June 22, 2015. He was preceded in death by his loving wife Hilda, his parents Mr. and Mrs. Minton Mann, his brothers Connor Mann, J. T. Mann, and Bruce Mann, and his sisters Joda Mann, Mavis Johnson and (Milda) Susie Miles. Grady is survived by his brother-in-law, Don Clark, and fifteen nieces and nephews who will always remember his sweet nature and words of wisdom.

Funeral services will be held on Thursday, June 25, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. (EST) at the West End Baptist Church in Valley with interment in Resthaven Memorial Gardens in Lanett. The family will be receiving friends at the Johnson BrownService funeral home in ValleyWednesday evening from 6:00 p.m. EST to 8:00 p.m. EST.

Without a budget, the federal government could be taking over the state prisons

A

labama is one of a handful of states that work out of two budgets. We have a general fund budget and a separate education budget. Our general fund is where the severe problem rests. The reason is that the general fund gets none of the growth taxes so its revenue has remained the same for decades.

The Legislature failed to find a solution during the four-month regular legislative session. The new fiscal year begins Oct. 1.

Therefore, a summer special session will be necessary.

In the meantime, the education budget has passed. It glided through both houses with minimum strife.

The almost $6 billion education budget increases funding for textbooks by $3 million. It also includes a $10 million increase for the state’s pre-

STEVE FLOWERS Guest Columnist

kindergarten program.

Colleges and universities are essentially level funded.

The education budget does not provide money for teacher pay raises or an increase in funding for their health insurance. This essentially means that teachers will probably see a cut in compensation in the next fiscal year under this Republican budget.

The crisis in the general fund budget has been formulating for over a decade. Our current Republican governor and legislature did not create the problems; they inherited them. However, they have done very little to resolve the dilemma.

Instead, they followed the Republican

rule book of cutting government and voting no new taxes. Their solution for the past four years has included cutting teachers’ and state workers’ income and benefits. Some folks would say they balanced the budgets on the backs of state workers and teachers.

As the session was winding down, some of the Republican legislators began to come to the realization that they have already cut to the bone and now must do something if Alabama is going to have any semblance of state services.

The House passed a general fund budget that most observers and legislators felt was merely a vehicle to drive to see how bad it would sputter down the road. The problem is the jalopy would not even make it to the road because, under that proposed budget, Alabamians would not have any roads to drive on much

less troopers to police them. The jalopy could ramble along potholed state roads without any headlights or taillights and if a local policeman stopped them, the driver could accost the officer without any repercussions because we will not have a functioning court system to try them much less a prison to house them if found guilty.

House Budget Chariman Steve Clouse (R-Ozark) referred very elegantly to the budget the House as a “pig that was hard to put lipstick on.” Speaker of the House Mike Hubbard said that this is not the ultimate budget that will be enacted for the next fiscal year.

Hubbard threw in the towel with four legislative days remaining.

He said, “I think if we can isolate it during the summer and come back in special session in August is the best scenario.”

This grim reaper budget could be dire for Alabama’s state employees. It is a $1.64 billion budget that cuts about $204 million over the current year’s budget. State workers would not get a pay raise and they would have to pay more for their health insurance.

They have not received a cost of living raise in six years and will now see their take home pay cut yet again while their workload continues to increase. The state employee workforce has been reduced by 5,000 people – about 15 percent – since Republicans took over state government in 2010.

The most dangerous problem with the present budget involves the prison system. Not only would the heralded prison reform package

not be implemented, the prison population would increase by another 5,400 in our major facilities. This would take the capacity from 200 percent to 226 percent. The federal courts took over California’s prisons at 150 percent, which seems to be the top threshold. Sen. Cam Ward, the sponsor of the prison reform legislation frustratedly said, “We have just laid a red carpet for a federal takeover of our prison system.”

We will see what a special session will hold.

See you next week.

Bears for people to submit sightings, a caller said that she saw a bear cross U.S. Highway 280 near Peckerwood Road on June 14. She said the bear crossed the road in front of a pickup truck that had to swerve, and appeared to brush the bear with the front bumper. She said the bear continued to run across the highway.

Another report came from the Equality area.

Equality’s Dale Martin said that he had to ask Sam Leonard, who was in his truck with him, if he’d seen what Martin had seen.

Leonard had, and it was a bear Martin estimated at 200 pounds spotted at the intersection of Johnson Creek Road and Alabama Highway 259.

Martin and Leonard encountered the bear at approximately 7:30 a.m. on June 16. Martin said the bear was black and was exiting the woods east of 259 and headed west toward Alabama Highway 9.

“That’s the first bear I’ve ever seen around here,” said Martin, who does landscaping for a living and spends most of his time either working in yards or traveling from job to job in the Lake Martin area. “I hope it’s the last one.”

East said that would be consistent with the information that reports and tracking suggest.

“Highway 259 would be consistent with the travel line we were seeing,” East said. “The Highway 280 sighting would be in line as far as time with the others we had in Shady Bay. We will wait and see, but it seems like it moved on.”

Tallapoosa County is not alone in recent bear sightings.

The Outlook continued from page 1

The Clanton Advertiser reported Tuesday that Jason Abraham of Clanton spotted and videotaped a bear on his property near Walnut Creek in the Refuge Community.

Abraham told the Advertiser that the bear was between 250-300 pounds and could have been about 5-11.

Chris Cook, Supervising Wildlife Biologist for District III with the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, told the Advertiser that it is not unusual to spot a black bear in parts of Alabama during the summer months.

“We have two established bear populations in Alabama,” Cook said in the published report.

“We have one in southwest Alabama near Mobile, Washington and Clarke counties and we have a newer population in northeast Alabama in Dekalb, Cherokee and Etowah counties. Our states to the west and south of Alabama including Georgia and Florida both have pretty good bear populations, so a lot of times they will travel through areas that don’t typically see them.”

Cook said he received the video footage and photographs taken by Abraham and confirmed that the bear in the footage was a black bear who was about 2 or 3 years old, the paper reported.

“Usually what you have is a young male who has dispersed from their natal range,” Cook told the Advertiser. “We will get calls about a bear sighting and then a few weeks later we get calls and find out it is that same bear just traveling through different areas.”

Heat

continued from page 1

Local physician Dr. Robert Edwards said that heat exhaustion is a real danger everyone should guard against, especially with the long periods of extended high temperatures that the area is experiencing.

“Heat exhaustion can kill you, and often it hits you before you are aware that you have a problem,” Edwards said.

“Obviously, hydration is a big thing, but the best way to protect yourself is to avoid long periods of exposure to the heat.

Unless you have to be out there – don’t expose yourself to it. If you do have to be out there, make sure that you can get to shade and drink plenty of fluids before, during and after the outdoor activity.”

There are several simple tips to guard against potential heat-related issues.

According to the Mayo Clinic: • Wear loose-fitting, lightweight clothing.

Wearing excess clothing or clothing that fits tightly won’t allow your body to cool properly.

• Protect against sunburn. Sunburn affects your body’s ability to cool itself, so protect yourself outdoors with

a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. Apply sunscreen generously, and reapply every two hours — or more often if you’re swimming or sweating.

• Drink plenty of fluids. Staying hydrated will help your body sweat and maintain a normal body temperature.

• Take extra precautions with certain medications. Be on the lookout for heat-related problems if you take medications that can affect your body’s ability to stay hydrated and dissipate heat.

• Never leave anyone in a parked car. This is a common cause of heatrelated deaths in children. When parked in the sun, the temperature in your car can rise 20 degrees F (more than 6.7 C) in 10 minutes.

• It’s not safe to leave a person in a parked car in warm or hot weather, even if the windows are cracked or the car is in shade. When your car is parked, keep it locked to prevent a child from getting inside.

•Take it easy during the hottest parts of the

ACCEPTING BIDS The Alexander City Board of Education is currently accepting bids for equipment for William L. Radney Cafeteria.

day. If you can’t avoid strenuous activity in hot weather, drink fluids and rest frequently in a cool spot. Try to schedule exercise or physical labor for cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or evening.

•Get acclimated.

Limit time spent working or exercising in heat until you’re conditioned to it. People who are not used to hot weather are especially susceptible to heat-related illness. It can take several weeks for your body to adjust to hot weather.

• Be cautious if you’re at increased risk. If you take medications or have

a condition that increases your risk of heatrelated problems, avoid the heat and act quickly if you notice symptoms of overheating. If you participate in a strenuous sporting event or activity in hot weather, make sure there are medical services available in case of a heat emergency.

Staff Report The Outlook

Five local high school baseball players were recently selected by coaches as some of the best players in the state.

Benjamin Russell rising seniors Corley Woods and Jacob Rogers, rising juniors Connor Brooks and Darius Jackson, and Dadeville rising senior Cal Jones were each selected by the Alabama Baseball Coaches Association as representatives of the 2015 North-South Alabama High School Coaches All-Star team.

After a North-South tryout, a total of 120 players from around the state were chosen by junior college and Division I coaches, with 60 on the North squad and 60 on the South squad. Jones, Jackson, Woods, Brooks and Rodgers each represented the South team.

After the selection, games between the two sides were held in Troy on June 16-18.

Coaches then selected 35 players to represent two teams for Team Alabama, with 19 on one team and 15 on the other team, to face off against All-Star teams from Tennessee and Georgia yesterday in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Jones and Woods were both among the 35 chosen to move on to the Georgia-Alabama-Tennessee

Showcase.

Jones was recently named Class 4A Hitter of the Year by the Alabama Sports Writers Association and First Team All-State for Class 4A as an outfielder.

Jones had a .592 batting average in 125 at-bats and 39 games during

Dadeville’s run to the second round of the Class 4A State Playoffs.

Jones also had 13 doubles, two triples, four home runs, 30 RBI and 20 stolen bases in 2015.

Woods was 5-2, with a 1.76 ERA and 55 strikeouts during 2015 for the Wildcats.

Rogers was a .317 hitter with 13 RBI, while Brooks had a 2.12 ERA with 25 strikeouts and had a .273 batting average and 23 RBI to go along with 16 runs scored.

Jackson was a .308 hitter and had a record of 3-2 on the mound with 26 strikeouts.

The 115th U.S. Open delivers with diverse storylines T

he United States Golf Association held its National Open Championship for the 115th time this past weekend.

The venue chosen for this particular year was a public course outside of Tacoma, Washington named Chambers Bay. The U.S. Open has long since prided itself on being the most challenging major tournament in the world of golf.

The individual courses are chosen because they test the players’ skill and endurance both mentally and physically.

The rough is far more penalizing than any normal tournament and the greens are always lightning fast.

While the best players in the world usually reach double digits under par in the other 3 majors, it’s very common at the U.S. Open for only a handful of players (if any at all) to

ANDY GRAHAM Sports Columnist

finish the tournament in red figures.

It turned out to be a very entertaining four days overall and the final round on Sunday was especially filled with compelling drama.

A number of storylines emerged over the weekend on several different fronts, but these were the most intriguing to me.

Complaints from the players at a U.S. Open are like turkey at Thanksgiving. I couldn’t possibly imagine one without the other. Whether it’s the density of the rough or the pin

placement, pro-golfers from around the world are always going to be more apt to grumble at this event than any other.

That being said, this year was ridiculous. How about a little cheese with all that whine? I get it. The greens were not perfect. Welcome to the real world! Every golfer had to putt on the same surface, so it’s still a level playing field. Deal with it!

Tiger Woods shot 16 over in only 2 rounds and missed the cut by a mile. It has, of course, been well documented that Woods has not won a major tournament since 2008.

However, 2015 has produced some unprecedented results for the former No. 1 player in the universe. Tiger missed the cut at the Phoenix Open in January and finished with the worst score in a field of over 150 players.

He made the cut at The

Memorial earlier this month, but finished last in the field by 8 shots.

This weekend, Woods missed the cut by 11 shots and had one of the worst overall scores in the entire tournament. I know Tiger Woods brought a lot of misery on himself, but this weekend I actually felt sorry for him.

I’m not sure we’ve ever seen something quite like this in the history of sports. It’s just sad.

Dustin Johnson has come so close to winning his first major on a few different occasions, only to see it slip through his fingers in the end.

Unfortunately for him, it happened again.

Legendary golfer Bobby Jones once said, “Nobody ever wins the U.S. Open. Somebody else just loses it.” Johnson choked on Sunday plain and simple.

He’s extraordinarily talented

from the shoulders down, I’m just not sure he has enough stability between the ears. I hope I’m wrong. He’s fun to watch.

Jordan Spieth is now halfway to golf’s career grand slam and he’s only 21 years of age. He is the youngest U.S. Open champion since the previously referenced Bobby Jones in 1923.

Spieth provided a wonderful story at this year’s Masters, but now he has legitimized himself as the next big thing in golf.

He does everything well and seems to be that rare breed that doesn’t get rattled.

American Pharaoh pulled off the first Triple Crown in 37 years earlier this month. How about a Quadruple Crown for young Mr. Spieth?

It could happen…

Local hunters learn about trapping predators in Hackneyville this past weekend

By Fletcher Scott Lake Martin QDMA

On Saturday, June 20, Lake Martin QDMA held a trapping workshop at Jerry and Genelle Brown’s farm near Hackneyville, Alabama. Titled Trapping 101, this workshop covered all the basic types of traps, and how to set them.

With a lot of interest among local deer hunters, predator control was on the mind of most participants. Andy Howell from the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources began the program by going over the state regulations that all trappers need to be familiar with. This was followed by a series of questions and answers.

After a brief intermission, the participants were divided into two groups.

Howard McDonald from the Alabama Trappers and Predator Control Association and Lee Brown, Lake Martin QDMA member and hunt-

er education instructor, provided the instruction on how to set and use traps.

Brown took one group down to a pond where he demonstrated the various types of water sets for catching beavers, otters and raccoons. Snares, Conibear traps and pan sets attached to a drowning rod were rigged up for the crowd to observe.

McDonald took the other group to see the various types of traps and sets he uses to catch coyotes, bobcats and raccoons.

Both trappers had their own techniques for catching animals. The groups spent about an hour with each trapper before they swapped stations. Both groups left with lots of knowledge about how to improve their own trapping activities.

With fawning season fast approaching in Alabama, many of the Submitted / The Outlook participants were eager to try their hand at predator Lake Martin Quail and Deer Management Association held a trapping workshop at Jerry and Genelle Brown’s farm control on their hunting near Hackneyville.

Horoscope

JACQUELINE BIGARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STARS ARIES (March 21-April 19) --You might want to get past othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attitudes. Just try to keep everything calm on the homefront, where a disagreement easily could explode. Consider your options and weigh them carefully, especially if they involve real estate or your domestic life. Tonight: Out late.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --Weigh the pros and cons of a situation. Make an effort to be more in touch with your needs. You will be entering a period where you will be more likely to become angry or combative. Try to express your feelings in a way that they can be heard. Tonight: Pace yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --You might want to put more pep in your step and come from a place of happiness. Money might be a key priority, as you likely will want to funnel it into some fun. Be careful -- once you start spending, you will have difÂżculty reining yourself back in. Tonight: Very playful.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) --Someone knows how to evoke a strong response from you, as you will see. Know that caring can translate into hurt, and then into anger. When you become a hot head, it might be difÂżcult not to say the wrong thing. Tonight: Use your imagination no matter where you are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --Be aware of the costs of continuing as you have. You might enter a period where you want others to take the lead more often. You could feel awkward when dealing with an associate or a personal matter. Let your emotions point you in the right direction. Tonight: A force to behold.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have good reason to approach a situation in a different way. You are likely to get the results you have been hoping for. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow money to become too much of a theme. A friend suddenly could become demanding.

Pull back for now. Tonight: Your treat.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

--Your patience seems to be wearing thin from dealing with a difÂżcult associate or friend. Although you might like to spend time with this person, you could be hesitant. Refuse to make any decisions just yet.

An older relativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s temper is likely to Ă&#x20AC;are. Tonight: Happy at home.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) --Read between the lines when dealing with someone you care about.

This person might not be revealing what is really going on, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll sense his or her inauthentic ways.

Rather than get into an argument, say little. Use caution with anyone you meet today. Tonight: Not to be found.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) --You could feel as if you need to take a different road. You might be insecure, but with the amount of supporters you have, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll sense that the results will be excellent. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s display of anger stop you. Go for what you want.

Tonight: Where the crowds are.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --Others have expectations that might surprise you. Avoid a disagreement, if possible, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t minimize someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals or interests. You will want to understand this personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logic. You might need to defer to someone else to handle this. Tonight: In the limelight.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) --Be willing to take a walk on the wild side. As a result, you will lighten up and invigorate others to express their true selves. Use caution around money agreements. Count your change carefully. Be aware of the negatives as well as the positives. Tonight: Use your imagination.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) --Be aware of what is happening around you. A partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts will pay off in a way that neither of you had anticipated. Tap into your creativity for solutions. You will be amazed by how a situation can be transformed so that all parties are happy. Tonight: Reach out to a friend.. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Our Monthly Luncheon was on Wednesday, June 17, with guest speaker Brantley Newton. He did an amazing job informing our group on insurance coverage facts. We enjoyed his company and we wanted to thank him for bringing the fantastic salads, fruits and desserts. An Ice

Shelter received help from some Wetumpka Boy Scouts

I

t was a beautiful day to celebrate Father’s Day on Sunday, just very hot. Hopefully, every Dad had some extra-special treatment for a great day. If you were lucky enough to find a little shade and that breeze during the afternoon, they made for perfect conditions for a hammock nap. The next holiday will be July 4, our Independence Day. Let’s all hang out the flags to show how much we love the USA. My mother is doing well and has joined another afternoon ladies club in the town where she grew up and married (and where I was born), Ruislip Manor’ – just a few miles from where she now lives. Mum loves people and enjoys socializing.

My dearest friend Pat Garnett in Nixburg had some outpatient surgery last week to repair torn shoulder muscle and she is doing very well. Pat’s long-term friend Linda Glover of Hendersonville, North Carolina came last Wednesday to help care for Pat during the first week. It was such a joy to meet Linda as we had a lot in common. It was an instant friendship.

Quality Foods in Equality has new owners, Rick and Megan Patel. Apparently, former owner Jimmy Wilson lives close by and heard noises early Friday morning before store hours. Wilson called 911. A break-in had happened and a haul of goods collected inside were left in the store.

The would-be burglar got away, but without his haul of goods. No one was hurt.

The Elmore County Humane Shelter received a wonderful gift from Wetumpka Boy Scout Hunter Rollins of Troop 13, other helpers and expert advice from Lowe’s. They made a gazebo in the dog play yard to give some muchneeded shade to the playground. The boys did a fabulous job and it is very ‘doggy appealing,’ even has a large bone above the doorway.

This work helped several in Troop 13 attain the coveted Eagle Scout Rank. Boy Scouts grow up into excellent and caring adults. This is a great organization worldwide. To start the money for this project to come in, Hunter held a yard sale. It is amazing what some young folks can do when their hearts are in the right place.

Earlier this month, I went into Rockford to get car tags and, along Highway 18, I could see the clear-cutting of timber that had been done

on both sides. The land looked like it had been scalped. Now I know where all of the logging trucks have been working, using Coosa 4 as a cut-through to the land being cleared. Now we need some heavy duty re-patching.

Recent storms tore down a good-sized sweet gum tree and it lay across the driveway close to the street. It was as if a giant had reached down and just twisted the tree off at the ground. Nature some-

times is not so kind.

What a shame for South Carolinians to have a crazy person shoot to kill people at the A.M.E. Church.

That’s just about the lowest of crimes, but the people came together to heal things without setting fires or rioting.

Now that’s what America is all about, helping each other during heartbreak-

ing loss.

Drink plenty to stay hydrated and, until next week, keep smiling.
