BRHS scores big diamond win over Clay Central

Lee St. project to begin

New Site closer to answer on Sr. Center

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

The New Site Town Council learned at Monday night’s meeting it is closer to being able to advertise jobs in the police department and may have a solution to the high cost of a new senior center.

“We were able to get some job descriptions and fit them to our needs,” Councilmember Michael East said. “We were able to find them in Alexander City.”

East wanted councilmembers to read over the job descriptions and be prepared to vote on them at the next See COUNCIL • Page 6

Donation helps make new batting cages possible

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

New Site youth now have new batting practice facilities thanks to donations from the town and from a Tallapoosa County commissioner.

“The town had built a freestanding building,” Chris Brown, president of New Site Youth Sports said. “Then John McKelvey and the commission stepped in with a $4,000 donation and

did some other work too.”

Brown explained the old batting cage was small and had limited uses.

“It was old and little,” Brown said. “It only had two 25-foot lanes.”

Brown said the donation from McKelvey and the commission completed the building from the city.

“With the donation, See CAGES • Page 3

With technology and advances in equipment, the task of putting a new layer of asphalt on a road is often handled very quickly.

So when officials send advance warning to let residents know that a major project is coming, it’s a good idea to take notice.

Consider this your warning.

CACC officials see positive signs in audit findings

Cliff Williams / The Outlook

The Town of New Site recently constructed a new batting cage for youth thanks to the help of the town and a donation from County Commissioner John McKelvey.

While Alexander City-based Central Alabama Community College had an overall favorable bill of health in a recently released audit, the school paid $100,914 in penalties and interest last fiscal year for failure to submit employees’ taxes on time in previous years, an issue that officials say has been addressed.

Volunteers needed for Saturday Trash Walk

By MITCH SNEED Editor

Submitted / The Outlook

This pile of trash was picked up along Elkahatchee Road by Trash Walk organizer John Thompson.

Call it roadside spring-cleaning or a chance to help get the area ready for warm weather visitors.

No matter what you call it, this Saturday PATH and the Lake Martin Resource Association are seeking volunteers to help cleanup trash and discarded items in several areas in the community.

The March PATH Trash Walk is scheduled for Saturday, March 11.

“We will meet at the entrance to Kenneth Boones’ property located at 4294 Elkahatchee Road which is

the first drive south of the spillway on Elkahatchee Creek,” Thompson said. “We will meet between 8 and 8:30 a.m. to receive supplies and assignments and enjoy a light breakfast.”

From there volunteers will fan out to several surrounding areas to help clean up roadways and other areas that seem to college items.

“We plan to clean Elkahatchee Road from Highway 280 to Our Town on Highway 63,” Thompson said. “The cleanup will conclude at noon and volunteers are invited to a cookout hosted by Kenneth and Mary Lyman on Russell Pond.”

“PROVIDING QUALITY ELECTRICAL CONSTRUCTION SINCE 1961”

Bill’s Electric

Thompson said he saw firsthand that the area is in need.

“We were driving that area just a little while ago and saw that someone had a mattress out there for us, a tire and then all the stuff that you see in that picture,” Thompson said.

“At this time of the year you have fishing tournaments coming in, the boat show and so many people visiting our area. That’s when you really want to put your best foot forward and make sure that the roads are cleaned up.

“But from the looks of it some folks don’t subscribe to that way of thinking.”

DEAR ABBY: I read your column all the time. My husband and I have been married for 35 years. My husband has good friends who are women, and I have never objected when he stayed with them when he traveled from our home to Michigan.

One of the women he stays with called and they talked for hours. That’s not right is it?

My husband says she’s just a good friend and it’s only conversation.

Like I said, I didn’t mind him staying with her because I trusted him. But now I’m leery and suspicious. I don’t believe it’s a sexual thing, but a long conversation hurts me more because I thought I was his best friend.

I told him, “Let’s get counseling. If it doesn’t work, we can divorce.” He said, “You’re not going to stop me from talking to my friends.”

Abby, I need your opinion.

-- LEERY IN FLORIDA DEAR LEERY: Whatever

DEAR ABBY Advice

is going on, you and your husband are having a communication problem. Instead of raising the subject of divorce with him, it may be time for you to get marriage counseling, alone if he won’t go with you.

Your husband should be able to talk to his friends -male and female -- if he wishes. For you to tell him otherwise makes you look more like his jailer than his wife. Some mediation may help you feel less threatened and help you both to get back on the same page.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 39-year-old female who hasn’t been able to conceive. My sister has two children and one on the way. I love being an aunt,

but I do want to be a mom myself. I’m recently divorced and have a nice home, a dependable vehicle and a job that I love. The only thing missing in my life is a child.

I have the opportunity to adopt a newborn baby from a family who is unable to care for her. She will be born in the next few months. When I speak to my friends and family about it, even though they would love for me to have a child, they say they don’t think this is the right path for me. Although I want a child and always have, I’m now having concerns about it, too.

Any advice you could share would be greatly appreciated.

-- MOTHERLY INSTINCT IN GEORGIA DEAR INSTINCT: I wish you had been clearer about why your family doesn’t feel that adopting the baby would be the right path for you. However, since you weren’t, let me offer this: Many single parents -whether single because of

divorce, widowhood or by choice -- successfully raise children. At 39, with a home and a good job, you appear to be financially secure enough to provide for a child. Unless you have an emotional problem you didn’t mention, or lack the patience to be a good mother, I see no reason why you shouldn’t become one.

However, because your friends and family have created doubt, discuss this with a counselor to clarify your thinking.

DEAR ABBY: What should I say to someone who expects an invitation to a wedding but will not be receiving one and they ask why they didn’t get one? -- WHERE’S MY INVITATION? DEAR WHERE’S: If someone is nervy enough to ask why he or she was not invited to the wedding, all you have to say is that for logistical reasons you had to limit your guest list.

Audit

continued from page 1

CACC President Dr. Susan Burrow said the penalties stemmed from a gap in timing of the electronic filing and the submission electronic payment.

The report showed progress and that the school’s internal control over major programs were sufficient.

No material weaknesses were identified in the report.

“CACC has continued to improve its accounting and financial reporting processes and procedures since my arrival in 2013,” Burrow said.

“While there are still some minor items to be addressed, the leadership of the college expects and desires to achieve full compliance with all auditing standards. Based on the timing and the conclusion of the IRS review of the employee payroll tax issues the audit finding was anticipated and we are glad to have this issue behind us.”

The report from the

Alabama Department of Examiners of Public Accounts that was released Friday indicates that the school failed to file and remit payments from employee payroll withholdings on time during periods in 2011, 2013 and 2014.

The IRS warns, “Penalties may apply if you don’t make required deposits on time or if you make deposits for less than the required amount… Late deposit penalty amounts are determined using calendar days, starting from the due date of the liability.”

In a response included in the audit report, the college said the problem was corrected last year and measures have been put in place to make sure taxes are reported and paid on a timely basis.

“One of the issues discovered during the college’s 2014 financial review related to the timely submission of quarterly employee pay-

roll tax returns,” Burrow said, “CACC pursued relief from the IRS for some of the assessments imposed for the late filings and deposit submissions and the review of the assessments was concluded in late November 2015. The penalty payment reflected in the 2015-2016 audit served to correct historical filing errors, dating back to 2011.

“Upon receiving notice of the final determination from the IRS, CACC immediately paid all outstanding amounts due to the IRS for the assessment for 2011, 2013, and 2014.

CACC has since been in compliance with both its filing and deposit obligations. All withholding taxes were filed and paid. These errors reflect historical issues that, after discovery, were resolved. I am pleased with the resolution of these long-stand-

ing issues.”

The audit also listed the school’s total assets in 2016 as $28.5 million, down from the $32.3 million reported in 2016.

“We are very pleased that the audit report concluded that the college had resolved the audit findings from prior year audits,” Burrow said.

“The college has been through a long and difficult process to improve its financial reporting practices and we have been working with our system office and experienced professionals on a major overhaul and rehabilitation process of the College’s financial procedures since I was appointed president.”

Central Alabama Community College has campuses in Alexander City and Childersburg and a center in Talladega.

The college has about 1,765 students, according to the audit report.

we were able to buy and pour concrete, install lights in it and get new nets,” Brown said. “The county also brought it granite and helped grade some areas.”

Brown said the building from the town is nice but that the group would have never been able to finish on their own. That’s why they are so grateful to the donation.

“He (John McKelvey) was a tremendous help,” Brown said. “First for the $4,000 donation but also for everything else he helped with. I don’t know where we would be without it.”

Now youth have two 55-foot lanes to work on their swings but that is not the only thing the new batting cages can be used for.

“We can set up tees for the t-ballers to hit in them,” Brown said. “They can also be used for normal batting practice. Our pitchers can use them to throw as well.”

Brown believes the new cages will be great for area youth.

“It gives us better batting practice facilities,” Brown said. “It will be wonderful for the kids. It opens up a lot for us.”

Our View

Promises on lottery vote shouldn’t be forgotten

W

e in Alabama apparently have a very short memory.

That’s the only reason we can figure that the people of this state haven’t launched an all-out assault on Gov. Robert Bentley and our elected officials for flat-out lying to us time and time again on the lottery.

Remember when Bentley first ran for office, before he started courting top aide Rebekah Mason?

He promised the people that he put the vote of legalizing the lottery before the people and let them vote for themselves.

For four years it didn’t happen.

Then Bentley reached into a bag of tricks he has been toting around since he first ran for governor in 2010 and pulled out the old “let’s let the people vote on a lottery card” again in his second run and the people of this state went to the polls and sent him back to the governor’s mansion.

Then last year with allegations beginning to fly about a possible an inappropriate relationship with Mason and state money being used to facilitate the hanky panky Bentley called for a special legislative session to address the state’s budget issues and part of that was said be to ask the legislature to put a vote before the people on a lottery.

We bit that rubber worm again and got hooked in the gills.

Here we are in another legislative session and Bentley has little more than a year left if an attorney general’s investigation or impeachment doesn’t help him out the door sooner.

Have you heard talk of a move to but a lottery vote on the ballot? We haven’t either. Some thrown -ogether committee studying the issue doesn’t cut it either.

According to a 2015 TargetPoint Consulting survey of Alabamians commissioned by Alabama Jobs Foundation, the majority of those questioned wanted to have a say on the matter.

According to the poll, 89 percent of those surveyed favored giving voters the chance to weigh in on gambling.

We favor letting the people decide on issues this important instead of leaving them in the hands of politicians. If these people we elected don’t let us vote, we shouldn’t forget all the broken promises the next time Election Day comes around.

Trump has power to prove tweeted accusations

M

aybe it was an overly warm night for the season on Friday night in Palm Beach.

Maybe a seagull lost its life and the stink of its beached remains pierced the night air.

Maybe the clock went off a little too early, even for a president rumored to be able to operate with fewer winks of sleep than most.

For whatever reason, President Donald J. Trump apparently woke on the morning of Saturday, March 4, angry and on a mission.

A Twitter mission, of course.

In the course of four tweets, Trump accused his predecessor, Barack Obama, of illegally wiretapping his phones in Trump Tower and, what’s worse, of being “sick.”

From this perspective, it is our 45th president who most reflects sickness.

At the time of this writing, President Trump has yet to offer one scintilla of evidence to support his accusations. And he could. It takes a judge to sign off on a FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) warrant okaying a wiretapping such as Trump is accusing Obama of having done. Naturally, such a warrant and any records produced as a result of such a wiretapping would be classified material.

But here’s the kicker.

The president – in this case Donald Trump – has the authority to declare such materials unclassified and make them public.

So while there are hundreds out there, including this columnist, who doubt the veracity of Trump’s accusations against Obama and see it as yet another “game” our president is playing with the media and the American public, Trump has it well within his authority to

DAVID GRANGER Columnist

prove all of us wrong. All he has to do is say the word.

But, you see, it’s not going to happen.

Why? Because our president is playing a game. It’s the same game he’s been playing since his campaign and it’s one that he feels he can – and will – win.

Trump has no respect for the intellect of the American people and, let’s grant him this, there are many among us who don’t act very smart. There are many among us who see nothing wrong with his turning his back on long-standing tradition during the campaign and refusing to make his tax returns public.

There are many among us who would rant and rave at others who said the things we heard Trump say on audiotape about women and how he treated them were they wearing a different animal (a donkey, perhaps?) on their lapel pin. There are many of us who see nothing wrong with a man like Steve Bannon in the White House and, worse yet, perhaps the most trusted voice in the ear of Trump. Yet Bannon is an avowed devotee of the altright (he once called Breitbart, which he operated until becoming involved in the Trump movement, “the platform of the alt-right”), described by many as a mixture of racism, white nationalism and populism.

I do not doubt that there are certain things about the job of president that Trump takes seriously. For all of our sake, I hope so in a world that features such threats as ISIS and Kim

Jong Un, just to name two. But I think what he takes most seriously is his personal adulation.

He has a deep desire to be liked and at the top of every conversation. Unfortunately, he is at the center of many conversations in this country, though not in a way that he would find pleasing.

So when the bloom started to fade from what was undoubtedly his most presidential moment to date – his speech to Congress on last Tuesday night – because his attorney general did not clearly answer a question (and, yes, I fault Al Franken, too, for not following up and making sure that Sessions clearly answered his question) and met with calls for, at worst, his resignation or, at best, his recusal from any investigation into the Trump campaign’s potential dabblings with Russians, an angry Trump lashed out on his cell phone thinking many would accept his accusations without question and that all would somehow heal itself in TrumpWorld before any evidence was demanded.

No sir, Mr. President. This time the allegation is so serious we must hold your feet to the fire.

Show me the money, Mr. President. I respect you because of the office you hold, but, in this case, I simply do not believe you. But you have the power to prove me wrong, even before this column goes to press, if you so choose.

And to you, dear reader, I can make you this promise: If there is truth to Trump’s tweeted claim of 6:30 a.m. on Saturday morning that Barack Obama authorized wiretapping of his Trump Tower phones, I will never write a negative word about our president again.

On that you have my word.

Data system is a tool for education improvement

T

he Alabama Legislature is considering HB 97

by Rep. Terri Collins, R-Decatur, and SB 153

by Sen. Bobby Singleton, D-Greensboro, to establish a smart and secure statewide system to measure student achievement over time.

Incredibly, Alabama currently does not have a statewide platform for collecting longitudinal data that are gathered from year to year to plot change.

There are no means to measure how something at one point in time affects outcomes later. But a longitudinal data system would enable us to learn if high school enrollment in advanced courses or performance on state tests improve student readiness for college, what college-level programs ensure that more students succeed, and at what cost.

WILLIAM CANARY Business Council of Alabama

Shouldn’t legislators who direct our very limited dollars know which initiatives show the best evidence of increasing student achievement? Shouldn’t school administrators have the information and resources to effectively manage? And shouldn’t teachers have the data to help their instruction improve students?

A secure longitudinal data system – personal information would not be identifiable would utilize performance records from early childhood education through the workforce to evaluate the progress of education and workforce programs.

The purpose is to look at how groups of students advance through education and training, to determine which programs are successful and those that are not, learn which groups may need early intervention to help them succeed, what programs that are best practices and can be incorporated into other areas, and workforce outcomes of participants in both higher education and workforce training programs.

We have the pieces that will let our children succeed.

Now is the time to gather those pieces and use the data to know what works, and perhaps more importantly, what does not. Let the facts, not our opinions, guide decisions so that all Alabama students can excel.

letting citizens know that paving will begin on Lee Street in Alexander City on March 20. According to Alexander City Public Works Director and City Engineer Gerard Brewer, paving doesn’t explain what all will happen on Lee Street.

“Lee Street will get a total makeover, with the road being taken down to the base before being paved,” Brewer said. “That’s not a simple process.

There is a lot of pavement to reduce down. In some cases there will be 16 to 19 inches of difference in the surface.”

The work is funded through the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program. Brewer said more details will be released in the coming week or so, but said motorists should plan alternate routes.

“Through-traffic is strongly advised to avoid this area during road construction if at all possible,” Brewer said. “This one is going to take some time and there is the potential for long delays and detours. So just beware.”

Also coming up is another project adjacent to Lee Street. Washington Street will be paved from the city limits to the rail crossing near the former Russell Corp. headquarters building.

But rather than having the project end where the state money does, city officials are now planning to pave the remaining portion of the road all the way to the traffic light where North Central crosses Washington using the city’s funds form the half-cent sales tax called Alexander City Road Improvement Project or ACRIP. “There will be some inconveniences while the projects are going on,” Brewer said. “But those are two important arteries into the city and once they are complete it will be a much smoother route for those who use those roads. We are excited about getting these projects done.”

New Site Councilmember Michael East and Mayor Phil Blasingame take a look at what three classrooms have been turned into at the old school.

Council council meeting.

“I think we need to make a move soon on them,” East said “So we can get jobs posted, put people in places and get us some police in position to help.”

East thinks that the city will be looking for someone with experience in law enforcement.

“I think it is going to have to be a certified officer,” East said. “I don’t know that we afford to send anyone to the academy.”

Mayor Phil Blasingame wanted to thank those in the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department that have been providing law enforcement coverage while the police department has been short handed.

“I will write a let-

continued from page 1

ter to Sheriff Abbett thanking them for their help,” Blasingame said.

Blasingame led a tour of the senior center across the street from town hall before the meeting so that everyone could bring ideas for a community center.

“After seeing some of the quotes on a new center, I knew we could not do that,” Blasingame said. “So we got to looking at what we had. I think we can save some money by fixing up the old elementary school.”

Blasingame explained that it looked like the different quotes might save them on fixing up the gym and could be applied to the school.

The council got word that the smell com-

ing from the clerk’s office has shown up in other places. Carpet in the office has been removed and ServPro has been in to clean but the smell has not gone away.

“We have a smell and we are trying to determine the cause,” Blasingame said. “Ken Williams has agreed to check the building out to see where it might be coming from.”

The council decided to wait on repairs to the clerk’s office until the cause of the smell is determined.

RDS who collects the town’s sales tax had made a proposal to collect the town’s gas tax.

“The do the sales tax collection for the county commission,” Blasingame said. “They also do our sales tax currently.”

RDS proposed cutting the fees from the current provider.

The council approved the move.

“It saves us money,” Blasingame said. “And it increases our revenue.”

The council learned the town’s new website was up and with a new service provider.

“It looks good,” Blasingame said. “And it is saving us money.”

The council will vote +

on a resolution at the next meeting to recognize retiring Public Safety Director John McKelvey.

Absent at Monday’s meeting were councilmembers Bree Walton and Billy Daniel.

The New Site Town Council also: • approved minutes from the last meeting.

• approved a $500 donation to the Horseshoe Bend High School Student Council for an Earth Day project.

• approved the transfer of the $4,000 donation from County Commissioner John McKelvey to New Site Youth Sports.

• approved moving two CDs from USAmeriBank to River Bank and Trust for 18 months at a rate of .65 percent.

• approved amending the budget to account for increases in the phone bill from Charter, in the cost of street lights from Tallapoosa River Electric Cooperative and in water tests.

• approved the purchase of a chlorinator pump at the Hillabee pumping station.

The Outlook

Prisons will be the primary issue in this state legislative session T he premier issue of this year’s legislative session will be whether to borrow a massive amount of money to build new prisons in the state. This initiative appears to be our lame duck Governor Robert Bentley’s primary agenda.

Last year Bentley proposed an $800 million bond issue for new prisons. He has come forward with a similar proposal this year. His plan would close all existing prisons and replace them with three new super men’s prisons and one smaller women’s prison.

Folks, $800 million is a lot of money. There is no question that we have a prison problem.

Alabama’s prison population is at 175% of capacity. It is among the highest in the nation. This overcrowding obviously causes violence and safety problems for our prison guards.

The federal courts are probably on the verge of

does the governor’s proposal require that the new prisons be designed and built by one company with a one-time exemption to the state bid laws. That just does not meet the smell test. That simply looks corrupt and, as they say, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it must be a duck.

Finally, if I were a legislator from a county or neighboring county that had a state prison located in my area, hell would freeze over before I would let the governor close it. I would rather cast a vote dissolving my county than vote to borrow $800 million in order to close down one of my area’s largest employers. Just ask the people in Elmore, Escambia, St. Clair, Limestone and Bibb what it would mean for their county economics if they closed their prisons. The prisons in Barbour and Bullock counties are the largest employers in their counties.

It is doubtful that any banker would loan someone any money if the vague pie in the sky ambiguous reply was, “Well, the prisons will be more efficient and therefore the savings will probably be enough to pay the note.”

Probably ain’t going to get it is what I am afraid the banker would say to the borrower.

The last time I checked there was no growth revenue in the General Fund. So hoping that there might be new revenue growth is also wishful thinking.

You simply have to put dollars and cents to exactly how much you save with these nuts and bolts and how you are going to pay the bond indebtedness. Otherwise you are buying a pig in a poke. In addition, the crazy point is that these ultramodern new prisons still leave us with overcrowded prisons. Therefore, it does not solve the problem.

Another question that would have to be answered is why

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist

dosing out some kind of remedy for our prisons. The courts took over the California prisons a couple of years ago with a lower overcrowding ratio than ours is now.

It is a tough spot for legislators. Funding prisons is not a popular reelection issue.

There are several questions that would have to be answered if I were a legislator addressing this serious problem. First, if I were going to put this state in debt for that amount of money I would have to ask the imperative question, “How in the world are you going to pay for the debt?”

There needs to be absolute, concrete, valid, exact revenue sources to make the payment.

Age should not matter when it comes to learning. Even scientists are confirming this statement. A New York Times article titled “How to Train the Aging Brain”

explained that when an older adult’s mind is continually used over time, it builds on itself, producing pathways that allow it to solve problems faster than those who are younger.

50+ members had fun with a Mardi Gras party he Alexander City Parks and Recreation 50+ Active Living Center held probably one of the best Mardi Gras parties we have had on Monday, Feb. 27.

That was all thanks to the ACPR Senior Fundraiser board group!

From the decorations to the food it was very well planned and presented in style.

Thank you so much for all that helped with the successful Mardi Gras 2017 party!

Did you know where the first Mardi Gras celebration began in the U.S.?

Mardi Gras in Mobile is the annual Carnival celebration in Mobile, Alabama. It is the

Filibuster would have a new meaning if one of those prisons was in my Senate district. I would tell them in a New York minute, “that dog won’t hunt.”

Besides, when the legislature last built new prisons in the aforementioned locales during the last Wallace administration they bought plenty of extra land around those prisons for future expansions. Gerald Wallace made sure of that.

The good thing for you, the Alabama taxpayer, is that this bond issue probably will not pass simply because Bentley is for it. He is essentially a deterrent to anything passing in the legislature.

See you next week.

Luckily, we’re all granted a brief reprieve from the isolation during the spring season when every team is allowed 15 opportunities to practice by the NCAA. Honestly, there’s really no valid reason to get excited about practice, but I seem to throw validity out the window year after year. Oh well, I’m not ashamed… much.

The Auburn Tigers have laced up the cleats four times so far and will practice again Thursday before ANDY GRAHAM taking a week off for Spring Break. With a new Offensive Sports Coordinator and a new hotColumnist shot QB on campus, these next few weeks will be critical in everyone becoming familiar with the framework of the new offense and personnel.

Auburn is coming off seasons of 8-5, 7-6 and 8-5 the last three years. Obviously, that is not acceptable as a continuing trend. Gus Malzahn has been feeling some heat and needs a double-digit win total in 2017 in the worst way.

Here are some storylines emerging this spring to keep an eye on: Chip Lindsay – Auburn’s new OC has received good reviews so far from colleagues and players in his brief time on campus. I highly doubt anyone would rip him publicly at this point, but there’s definitely something to be said for “fitting in” with the current staff. The talk has already begun that the Tigers are focusing more on the passing game. That’s wonderful, but I need to see it in action before I make a judgment. It sounds like the wide receivers, tight ends and running backs are all going to earn their scholarships in 2017. Let’s hope so.

Quarterback – Baylor transfer Jarrett Stidham seems to be living up to expectation. Well, at least for the first four days. With Sean White not participating in drills due to the injury he suffered in the Sugar Bowl, the job is Stidham’s to lose. However, don’t expect a starter to be named this spring.

Redshirt freshman Woody Barrett and true freshman Malik Willis have impressed with their physical abilities, but neither is a true threat to Stidham or White. John Franklin has taken some reps at wide receiver and he could help the Tigers this year, but it won’t be from behind center.

Offensive Line – Auburn must replace Alex Kozan and Robert Leff from a season ago. They were both outstanding contributors. Senior Austin Golson played center most of last year, but could move out to tackle with the addition of fifthyear senior transfer Casey Dunn. Braden Smith is getting a look outside as well. The Tigers have a number of good options like sophomore Prince Tega Wanogho Jr., redshirt freshman Prince Sammons Sr., Darius James and redshirt sophomore Mike Horton. Coach Herb Hand will put his best five on the field, but should have plenty of competition for every spot.

Defensive Line – The Tigers finally stayed healthy (for the most part) and put a quality defense on the field in 2016.

There are no linebackers to replace, but defensive tackle Montravius Adams and defensive end Carl Lawson will definitely be missed. A lot will be expected from sophomores Marlon Davidson and Derrick Brown in 2017. Their continued development needs to start now. Veteran leadership will also be counted on from players like juniors Dontavius Russell, Andrew Williams, Byron Cowart and Jeff Holland.

If a couple of younger players step up this spring, the Tigers will be fine.

By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor

The Benjamin Russell varsity baseball team started the week on a high note with Monday’s 15-0 win at Clay Central.

BRHS senior Timmy Lawson led the Wildcats in scoring by driving in four runs — one of which was from a home run in the third inning and another was from a stolen base in the fourth.

At bat, Lawson also went two for three.

After scoring their first run in the second inning, the Wildcats went on to score five in the third, two in the fourth and seven in the fifth.

That fifth inning was Ben Russell’s best, with runs scored from a homerun by senior Connor Brooks, singles by sophomore Brock Elliott and freshman Brett Pitts, and a walk by junior Bradley Stewart.

“We played well,” said Wildcats head coach Richy Brooks. “Our hitters we expected to hit did and it has to be that way for us. We are a work in progress but are excited to be 8-2 for the year.”

The Wildcats completely shut Clay Central out Monday.

Brooks earned the win for BRHS by pitching four innings with five strikeouts, allowing no runs and only giving up two hits.

The BRHS varsity baseball team next plays the first in a series of five home games that start today when the Wildcats host Elmore County at 4 p.m.

Lady Generals get win at Cleburne County

The Horseshoe Bend varsity softball team carved out yet another victory as the Lady Generals defeated Cleburne County 1-0 in Monday’s road game.

The win didn’t come easy as the Lady Generals scored their lone run late in the eight-inning game with a ground out by sophomore Danielle Mitchell.

That singular run was also the only one of the day. Horseshoe Bend completely shut Cleburne County out, thanks to senior pitcher Kynsley Blasingame. In eight innings, she struck out 16, had no errors and only allowed two hits and a walk.

Cliff Williams / The Outlook

BRHS senior Timmy Lawson takes a lead at third against Dadeville earlier in the season.

“Kynsley was outstanding,” said Horseshoe Bend head coach David Caldwell.

The coach was also pleased with his entire team’s overall performance in Monday’s awaygame victory.

“It was a great high school softball game,” Caldwell said.

“We are continuing to find ways to win by not giving up and we’re really competing.”

Monday’s win boosts the Lady Generals’ season record to 5-2.

Horseshoe Bend varsity softball next heads to Clay Central Thursday for a 4:30 p.m. league game.

Generals get swept in home-game double-header

The Horseshoe Bend varsity baseball team didn’t fare as well as their female counterparts Monday. After losing the first game of a home-field doubleheader to Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School 4-3, the Generals went on to lose the second game 7-6.

“We hit the ball a lot better the second game,” said Horseshoe Bend head coach Jason Johnson.

“But we just continue to give up unearned runs that are costing us ball games.”

Despite the loss, Johnson is optimistic as he looks to the rest of the season.

“I think we have a good team,” he said. “We just have to get more consistent with our defense.”

Monday’s loss drops the Generals season record to 2-7.

Horseshoe Bend varsity baseball next heads to Elmore County for a 4 p.m. league game.

The Generals continue on the road Saturday by heading to Dadeville for a double-header that starts at 11 a.m.

BRHS varsity boys soccer falls to ACA

The Benjamin Russell varsity boys soccer team had a disappointing night at home Monday as the Wildcats lost to Alabama Christian Academy 1-0.

“We made too many mental mistakes,” said Wildcats head coach Austen Teel.

Monday’s loss brings the Wildcats season record to 1-6-1 overall and 0-1-0 in the region.

The BRHS varsity boys soccer team plays at home again today as the Wildcats host Opelika at 7 p.m.

Tigers get shut out at Valley

The Dadeville varsity baseball team struggled on the road Monday with a 10-0 shutout loss at Valley.

The six-inning loss came after Valley scored two runs in the first inning and followed it up with three in the fourth and five in the sixth.

The loss drops the Tigers’ overall season record to 3-4.

The Dadeville varsity baseball team next plays at home today by hosting B.B. Comer at 4 p.m.

Also Monday

• Central Coosa varsity baseball team lost at Fayetteville 15-5.

• Central Alabama Community College baseball team won at home over Andrew College 5-3.

Eagles tribute group, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;7 Bridges Bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; set for March 17 in Alexander City

W

hat a mixture of spring weather.

Knowing the sunshine will come back for enjoyment and to nourish us with vitamin â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is always worth looking forward.

Happy Anniversary to Ronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin John Moore and his lovely wife Dianne as they celebrate their 51st Wedding anniversary March 12. The Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s live in Alex City, and John is the one who played for â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bearâ&#x20AC;? while at the University of Alabama.

You may want to mark your calendars for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;7 Bridges Bandâ&#x20AC;? and is the next show brought to town by The Alexander City Arts council. Performing on Friday, March 17, 7 p.m. at BRHS in the Auditorium. Tickets will be available at-thedoor half hour prior

ROSIE MORGAN Nixburg/ Equality

to the show for $15 for adults and free for students and children.

The 7 Bridges Band with six members is a stunningly accurate tribute to music of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Eagles.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; This Band uses no backing tracks or harmonizers but faithfully recreates the experience of an Eagles concert from the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prolific period. 7 Bridges is a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tour de forceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of talent combining incredible music, vocal precision and a stage presence that has garnered them national attention as the ultimate Eagles experience.

A week ago, this past Sunday and Monday,

it rained a lot and quite heavily most of the time. When we awoke Tuesday morning, it was just barely sprinkling and everything was soaked.

By mid-morning, we heard heavy equipment.

It was the Coosa County tar and gravel crew working on Coosa 4 at the end of our driveway; filling holes on the original surface already full of water with hot tar, then topping with loose gravel. For the next three days, driving was hazardous as you could not travel without getting the car sprayed with tarry loose gravel.

Some groups of filled holes stretched from one side of the road to the others edge. Some holes had expelled their fillings after a few days, and other holes were missed completely. We often

see four-wheelers on our country road but even they could not dodge so much loose tarry gravel.

Ben Stein is a wellknown thinker, and often on television discussion shows. Stein recently commented thusly: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fathom the Government that requires every citizen to prove they are a citizen. Now consider that many of those who refuse, or are unable, to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance because they are citizens.â&#x20AC;? I thought about this, and it includes me, as I am a permanent alien with a green card still forced to buy insurance and prove my legality for Social Security.

Ed Brown from Highway 259 stopped by my shop on Friday.

We talked a while about Alabama football and how sad we were about the last minutes of their last game. We agreed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always next year.â&#x20AC;?

I appreciate Mrs. Janet Coker of Equality for recommending her friend and pastor, Mrs. Sandra Whitehill to my shop. We had a lovely visit. I also enjoyed meeting the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Douthitsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, originally from Texas, now living in the Equality area.

The next Afternoon Tea for Ladies at

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nixburg House,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; will be on Saturday, April 22, which is also Earth Day. There is limited seating at $10 per person. Reserve anytime via e-mail, NixburgRosie@gmail. com.

Until next week, keep smiling. Rosie Morgan is a community columnist for The Outlook. She is a resident of Nixburg and writes about the events and people of the Equality and Nixburg areas.
