Survey results in City school board: Next superintendent to make $125,000 to $150,000

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

As the tenure of current Alexander City Schools Superintendent Dr. Darrell Cooper draws closer to its end, public input was sought on what people in the community want to see in the next superintendent. Tuesday night, those results were officially presented to the city school board.

During a special-call meeting, the Alexander City Board of Education heard results from Susan Salter of the Alabama Association of School Boards on the recent survey and community engagement meetings held to gauge what the public believed was most important as the search process moves forward.

T

he Alexander City Tallapoosa County Rescue Squad is on the cutting edge of search efforts, thanks to newly acquired sonar equipment.

“This is a good day for us,” Tallapoosa County EMA director Jason Moran said.

“We got some equipment we can use. It is the latest technology as far as sonar goes. It gives us the ability to locate and find a missing person or evidence like cars or other objects for a criminal case.

We are very thankful.”

Similar technology was used a year ago to find Thomas Heulan Spence last August after he dove into the waters of Lake Martin and failed to resurface.

For six days, authorities searched with See RESCUE • Page 3

Dadeville Mayor Wayne Smith said the city staff has produced a balanced budget for Fiscal Year 2019 at Tuesday’s city council meeting.

“It is a balanced budget,” Smith said. “We wouldn’t present anything but that.”

He said if the city receives additional revenues throughout the year, the city will be in even better shape moving forward.

The budget document is now in the hands of the city council to review and will be voted upon at the Sept. 25 meeting.

Built into the budget is a raise for a city employees and funds for construction on the Courthouse Square Enhancement Project. The city wants to repave the streets around the courthouse square and reflow the traffic to improve transportation. Smith said the project See DADEVILLE • Page 2

It was supposed to be on the Piedmont Plateau Birding Trail when the trail opened in 2011 but it was not. Now Smith Mountain joins one of nearly 300 official birding locations in Alabama.

“The Piedmont Plateau Birding Trail launched in 2011 without Smith Mountain, as construction was not completed and volunteers were unsure when it would be completed,” Piedmont Plateau Birding Trail project manager Joanne Ninesling said. “We reluctantly removed Smith Mountain from the opening group. Then spring 2017 applications were accepted. In late 2017 and 2018 we welcomed Smith Mountain. It only took nine months to publicly announce this.”

Smith Mountain and its geologic formations already attract visitors according See TRAIL • Page 3

The Outlook

DEAR ABBY: My mother did something very disrespectful. She picked up my former boyfriend and took him to her house, saying she needed help with her curtains or something. He said when she came back in the room, she just had on a slip, like she was trying to seduce him. When I asked her if what he said about her was true, she replied, “Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t.� Not long after that, I began distancing myself from her.

After I got married, she told a relative she didn’t believe my baby daughter was my husband’s. I was understandably upset. When I questioned her about it, she was shocked because she didn’t know my cousin had told me. Right now, I don’t care to be around her.

I still send her cards for her birthday and Christmas, but I don’t trust her anymore. What should I do? -- CAN’T TRUST MY MOTHER DEAR CAN’T TRUST HER: It’s sad, but not all parents are

DEAR ABBY Advice

loving and supportive. In fact, some of them are toxic. Your mother appears to be one of the latter, so listen to your gut.

Continue to be respectful, as you have been doing, but also continue to keep your distance. And if you are tempted to confide in her about anything private, don’t do it.

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have decided to start a family, and the topic of names arose.

My wife, who was born and raised in India, is insisting on Indian names for our children.

The problem is they are often difficult to pronounce and spell.

I’m not opposed to Indian middle names, but think traditional “Western� names may be more

suitable, since we will live in the United States. How can I make my wife understand that having “unusual� names makes certain aspects of kids’ lives more difficult? -- MAKING LIFE EASY DEAR MAKING: Your wife’s concept of giving the children Indian names is lovely. However, practically speaking, I agree with you.

Popular names in one country can cause problems for a child living in another one.

Not only can foreign names be difficult to pronounce and spell, but they can also cause a child to be teased unmercifully. Sometimes the name can be a problematic word in the English language. And one that sounds beautiful in a foreign language can be grating in English.

I hope your wife will rethink this. Why saddle a kid with a name he or she will have to explain or correct with friends, teachers and fellow employees from childhood into adulthood?

DEAR ABBY: A month ago, while in the process of moving, I found some of my brother’s old report cards from elementary school 60 years ago. His teacher reported behavior issues, but by the end of the school year, she reported improvement.

My brother is a successful businessman now with a family. Should I give him the report cards or discard them?

-- BIG SIS IN OHIO DEAR BIG SIS: Call your brother and tell him what you found. The two of you could have a good laugh about it.

Then ask him what he wants done with his old report cards and do as he requests.

Powering Up After an Outage When the power goes out, we expect it to be restored within a few hours. But when a major storm or natural disaster causes widespread damage, extended outages may result.

Our line crews work long, hard hours to restore service safely to the greatest number of consumers in the shortest time possible. Here’s what’s going on if you find yourself in the dark:

STATIONARY GENERATOR: An approved generator transfer switch, which keeps your house circuits separate from the electric co-op, should be installed by a professional.

PORTABLE GENERATOR:

1. High-Voltage Transmission Lines: Transmission towers and cables that supply power to transmission substations (and thousands of members) rarely fail. But when damaged, these facilities must be repaired before other parts of the system can operate.

Plug appliances directly into the outlet provided on the generator.

2. Distribution Substation: A substation can serve hundreds or thousands of consumers. When a major outage occurs, line crews inspect substations to determine if problems stem from transmission lines feeding into the substation, the substation itself or if problems exist further down the line.

Set up and run your generator in a well-ventilated area outside the home. Make sure it’s out and away from your garage, doors, windows and vents. The carbon monoxide generated is deadly.

3. Main Distribution Lines:

Use a heavy-duty extension cord to connect electric appliances to the outlet on the generator.

If the problem cannot be isolated at a distribution substation, distribution lines are checked. These lines carry power to large groups of consumers in communities or housing developments.

Start the generator ďŹ rst before connecting appliances.

CALL (877) 456-8732 to report an outage

4. Tap Lines: If local outages persist, supply lines (also known as tap lines) are inspected. These lines deliver power to transformers, either mounted on poles or placed on pads for underground service, outside businesses, schools and homes.

5. Individual Homes:

Tallapoosa River Electric Cooperative s TREC COOP

If your home remains without power, the service line between a transformer and your residence may need to be repaired. Always call to report an outage to help line crews isolate local issue.

to Cherokee Ridge Alpine Trail’s Harold Banks.

“This place is busy on the weekends,” Banks said. “There are 7 miles of trails.”

The Lakeshore, Tower Loop, Little Smith Mountain and Island Hop trails take visitors across the exposed quartzite rock forming part of what is called “The Devil’s Backbone.”

“It is in between two fault lines and in some places less than a mile apart,” Banks said. “From the tower you can see it. This formation brought gold bearing ore that was mined until the gold rush in California.”

Being placed on the Piedmont Plateau Birding Trail will bring even more people to visit the area. It is none too soon for birding enthusiasts like Joe Watts with the Alabama Birding Trail and the Birmingham Audubon Society as Smith Mountain joins the ranks of other fire towers in the state.

“We are happy to have Smith Mountain as part of the birding trail,” Watts said. “We are officially welcoming another fire tower at Flagg Mountain later this month.”

Wednesday local birders were joined by guests from Birmingham Audubon Society and others from the Piedmont Plateau Birding Trail.

Birds spotted on this excursion included turkey vultures and pine warblers.

Smith Mountain joins many other birding locations on the map for birders to view the many types of birds in the state.

“It becomes one of 281 locations in Alabama,” Watts said. “Alabama has more than 450 species of birds and you can regularly see some 350. It is still a lot of birds.”

Watts said other states may have only 200 to 300 birds in the state.

“We really are one of the great hotspots that does not get much attention,” Watts said.

dive teams and even a cadaver dog was brought in to search. Finally, the Daphne Search and Rescue Team arrived with new sonar that changed the game. What seemed like minutes after arriving the team was able to locate Spence’s body and rescuers recovered it providing relief to a waiting family.

The new sonar will be housed by the rescue squad.

“A big thanks to the Alexander City Tallapoosa County Rescue Squad for their efforts,” Moran said. “They are ultimately the ones that will use the equipment along with the EMA dive team and the Alexander City Fire Department Dive team. It will be used to decrease the time to find a missing loved one.”

Area first responders trained with the new equipment to get comfortable with its operation on lake property owned by Harold Cochran Wednesday.

The sonar is dropped in the water tethered to equipment in a boat. The equipment can provide a 360-degree image from the sonar of things up to 300 feet away. Operators can mark points of interest that are marked on a map with GPS coordinates for divers to take a look. The equipment should speed searches. It is something Alexander City Tallapoosa County Rescue Squad’s Ken Cowart hopes will happen.

“Hopefully it will speed things up,” he said. “You can have it on your screen on one side and the (search) grid on the other side and mark it.”

Cliff Williams / The Outlook

Jay Taylor with the Alex City Tallapoosa County Rescue Squad gets training on the new sonar equipment acquired through grants. The equipment will be used in search and recovery efforts.

The equipment and rescue squad operating the sonar will travel with it like they have done for operations in the past across the state and region.

Cowart said the Alexander City Tallapoosa County Rescue Squad has travelled to other areas for previous recoveries and they will travel when called upon with the sonar.

The new equipment was purchased through a Department of Homeland Security grant with help for matching funds coming from local businesses and organizations.

“I want to thank our local contributors that help fund this,” Moran said. “The county commission, City of

Alexander City, Russell Lands and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.”

ALEA Secretary Hal Taylor likes the team atmosphere created around the new sonar.

“Thank you for the effort in this team enterprise,” Taylor said.

Taylor does not want to ever see this equipment ever used for the purpose of recovering a lost loved one.

“This is a piece of equipment you hope you never have to use,” Taylor said. “It is one the most modern and updated. It will cut down on the time to find a car or loved one. You hope you get to leave it in the box and only train with it.”

Superintendent we did need to have it,” board president Michael Ransaw said.

Salter had a presentation prepared for the board members, breaking down the results from the survey and meetings by category.

During the meetings, there were 17 parents and members of the community in attendance during an invitation-only parental focus group, combined with three other community members who attended an open meeting, 13 school administrators, six public officials and 14 teachers. The online survey garnered 261 total responses from parents, school system employees, other members of the community and one current student in the system.

“The numbers are not high, but they are better than expected,” Salter said.

“I would say take it less as apathy and more that there is no burning issue.”

When examining common themes seen throughout responses from the in-person meetings, some of the recurring points suggested across the spectrum included bringing in a superintendent able to improve the instructional performance of the system, someone who is an experienced leader, possesses strong communication skills, has a high level of integrity and is committed to being transparent.

Breaking down the online survey results, 82 percent of respondents said the next superintendent should have at least a master’s degree, while 51 percent were neutral on if he or she should have a doctorate.

An overwhelming majority (92 percent) felt the next superintendent should have experience as a school or system administrator, only 36 percent agreed he or she should have previous experience as a superintendent, and 79 percent disagreed with the idea Cooper’s successor should be non-traditional with a non-education background.

“The trend towards bringing in non-traditional superintendents has waned, at least in this state,” Salter said.

There was no clear consensus on if the new superintendent should be brought in from outside the system or promoted from within, as a plurality of 46 percent were neutral

on hiring from outside and 50 percent were neutral on promoting a current ACS employee.

However, all respondents agreed on what the most important challenge the new superintendent will be facing — raising academic achievement and performance. A slight majority (52 percent) felt the school system was heading in the right direction, while only 17 percent disagreed with this belief.

The position will be

posted Thursday, as the current timeline suggests.

The board also held a discussion on what potential pay range could be offered.

“After having several conversations, we are looking at a range between $125(000) and $155(000),” Ransaw said. “This gives us some room to work with.”

The board concurred with this sentiment, setting $125,000 as the floor and a range of around $30,000, this will allow for plenty of negotiating room and

the chance to have a greater number of qualified candidates apply for the position.

“My main focus is making sure we get the highest number of qualified candidates,” board member David Sturdivant said.

“This gives us more chances to get people with experience,” board member Denise Bates added.

After several minutes of discussion, Kelly Waldrop made the motion to set the base annual pay

range between $125,000 and $150,000. Dorothea Walker seconded the motion, which was then unanimously passed by the board.

Lastly, the board held its first reading of a policy revision on qualifications for the superintendent.

Much of the policy remained roughly the same, but there were a few small changes to its wording. For example, the current policy reads “ability to delegate,” while the revised version states “ability to delegate

authority,” while three separate points regarding total years of experience and where that experience has been gathered from have all been combined into one bullet point.

“We came to the conclusion we needed to revise the qualifications,” Ransaw said. “This new version will mirror much of the rest of the state.”

The next meeting of the Alexander City Board of Education will be Tuesday, Sept. 18 at the board of education office, beginning at 5 p.m.

Survey results show locals want further progress

T

he Alexander City Board of Education and the Alabama Association of School Boards are currently working together to fill the superintendent’s position as Dr. Darrell Cooper prepares to retire.

During the last week of August, an online survey was open for members of the public to share their input, while AASB representatives met with parents, teachers, school administrators, civic leaders and others in the community on Aug. 30 in panel discussions for the same purpose.

While only 261 online surveys were filled out and a total of 53 participants were involved in the discussions, the responses these individuals gave proved to be insightful to the board and the AASB. These results showed virtually everyone is on the same page on many of the issues. Parents, teachers and members of the community all think the most important challenge facing the next superintendent will be raising academic achievement in the schools. All three groups believe he or she should have previous experience as a school or system administrator.

Recruiting and being able to lead a staff able to serve all students, as well as ensuring safety and discipline were also key topics everyone felt was important moving forward.

All in all, the general response was the same. People want to see the city school system continue to improve.

The school system has been moving forward throughout the past several years, but continued improvement and progress is key if the Alexander City School System truly wants to achieve its mission of providing success for every student.

To those of you who filled out an online survey, participated in one of the panel discussions or did both, we applaud you for standing up and voicing your opinion. Your thoughts are not the only one being used to make the final decision, but your input is valuable and will be weighed in with all other factors.

To those making this decision, remember these results. You may have a lot of things you have to consider when selecting the next superintendent, but do not ignore those who took the time out of their lives to answer these questions to the best of their abilities.

grew up in a small country church in Tallapoosa County.

We spent a lot of time there at Elder Church.

Practically everyone in attendance each Sunday morning was family or close enough anyway. It was a special place.

I’m excited to be speaking at homecoming there next month. We’ll no doubt be singing some of the old hymns. I love those old hymns. Contemporary songs and services are wonderful, but there’s just something special about those old southern gospel hymns.

Since moving to Tallapoosa County, we started going to church at Eagle Creek, which is not very far from Elder, as the eagle, er crow, flies.

We’ve only been a handful of times, but it appears it’s going to be a permanent thing.

Speaking of hands, we end each service by holding our neighbor’s hand singing the chorus to the old hymn “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus.”

Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, In the light of His glory and grace.

Dear Editor, No doubt, we currently live in perhaps the most acrimonious time in memory in this country. We have a duly elected president who has managed to tick off both Democrats and Republicans simultaneously to the point they both have declared war on him. He definitely is a maverick and obviously constantly behaves in ways virtually everyone finds offensive at times. But, can we objectively

look briefly at what kind of job he has done so far compared to his predecessor: Trump: 18 months; Obama: eight years — Job approval: 50 percent; 45 percent Unemployment rate: 3.9 percent; 7.4 percent (*) Jobs created: 3.2 million; (2.9) million Deficit: $532 billion; $936 billion GDP growth: 4.1 percent; 1.6 percent (*) The unemployment rate for the eight years of Obama’s

term is an average of the eight years. Trump has only served 18 months to date and consequently cannot be averaged annually.

Regardless of your political leanings, even the average third-grader can understand these results. Warts and all, President Trump is delivering on what he promised!

Get as much rest as possible, and make sure that you are up-to-date with various time-sensitive work responsibilities and errands. You might Ă„nd out an odd fact about your family. Tonight: Go with the moment.

CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) Zero in on what you need to do.

Don’t avoid a big meeting, even if you think that you already know what is going to be discussed. Be more direct with a friend. You might want to make plans for the weekend.

Your imagination takes over. Tonight: Follow your friends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You sixth sense often comes out when you are dealing with Ă„nances.

Today, what you feel might not work needs to be left alone. In fact, the less done, the better the results will be. Do not give in to a desire to take control over an emotional situation.

Tonight: Where the party is.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Listen to the drumbeats. You will want to go along with the moment.

You might be likely to experiment and try something new. Perhaps you could get into a new hobby or a diɈerent set of friends. You feel as though you want some type of renewal. Tonight: Let the party go on and on.

Who’s going to make a statement?

S

tatement: an expression of an attitude or belief that is made by means of actions or appearance.”

At least that’s how a dictionary defines the word. You make a statement by speaking up and proving a point. Football teams do the same … less with their mouths and more by results on the scoreboard.

Seventh-ranked Auburn has a chance Saturday afternoon to prove whether it will contend in the SEC or possibly beyond.

Beating what might be an overrated LSU team ensures through three weeks Auburn is just as much in the national championship argument as Alabama and Georgia, which are arguably the best teams in America.

Losing Saturday to LSU seriously puts Auburn behind the eight ball. That’s why coming out and smacking the Bayou Bengals — like the Tigers did here in 2014 — sends a message to the rest of the nation Derrick Brown, Nick Coe, Marlon Davidson and Company should be a player in the playoff hunt once we turn the calendar to November.

LSU has a similar statement to make. So does Coach Oregeron, who many believed might be canned before bowl season. Guess what? Coach O suddenly has a young LSU team on the brink of cracking the Top 10.

Beating Auburn this Saturday at JordanHare Stadium might be the signature win he’s been looking for. Miami wasn’t. Why? Because Miami was overrated, folks.

Mississippi State made a semi-statement Saturday at Kansas State. The Bulldogs pounded the Wildcats and reminded us that the boys from Starkville have the potential to ruin several team’s hopes. Auburn visits Stark-Vegas in early October. Mississippi State visits LSU on Oct. 20.

Is it possible to lose and make a statement at the same time? Sure. Texas A&M took second-ranked Clemson to the final play last week and lost 28-26. If the Aggies can nearly upset a perennial playoff team like Clemson, then the rest of the SEC should take notice.

Several people believed South Carolina had a shot to knock off Georgia last Saturday in Columbia. Georgia’s statement was delivered hard and fast. The Red and Black reminded us despite losing a handful of seniors and draft-eligible juniors, this year’s version of Kirby Smart’s team is a superpower, which is a sobering thought to programs hoping to catch a break for a season. Georgia will be even better next season, which is even more sobering.

Alabama hasn’t played anyone strong enough to make a statement. That should change Saturday. The Rebels have score 47 and 76, respectively, in games played this season. Loud applause. With Tua Tagovailoa and an ample source of offensive firepower, Alabama has the potential to be the team padding stats and scoring points, not the See MCADORY • Page 11

Central Coosa’s Tahj Robbins (50) and Jashaslin James (3) combine for a tackle against Holtville earlier this season. The Cougars have had strong defensive performances despite their winless record.

Central Coosa has several defensive standouts

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

It’s no secret Central Coosa has been struggling this year on the gridiron. But when a team is floundering on the offensive side of the ball, there’s bound to be some big defensive standouts.

Senior TD Parker was absolutely unstoppable for the Cougars in their opening week against Winterboro, picking up a staggering 17 tackles. Donta Daniel also added 14.

Against Holtville in Week 1, Tahj Robbins racked up 12 tackles.

Horseshoe Bend loses starter: Grant Taylor was the only true returning starter for the Generals this season. While Nywanski Russell also returned as a starter, HE moved from wide receiver to quarterback this year. Moreover, Taylor was a true jack of all trades, doing the kicking duties as well as playing receiver and cornerback.

But according to Horseshoe Bend coach Josh

Averett, Taylor popped his shoulder and will miss at least this week, if not more.

“He won’t be there Friday and we’re kind of waiting to see,” Averett said. “He may be done done since he did it in the spring and it came out again.”

Trent Cotney was taking over the kicking duties last week against Thorsby.

Dadevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Javuntae Holley (3) is brought down by Southside Selmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christopher Bonner last week. The Tigers have presented a balanced offensive attack this year.

spot anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game. It may come down to which of the four beat each other most. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It still comes down to us, Vincent, Central Coosa and Fayetteville,â&#x20AC;? Averett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only going to take three wins, maybe even just two, if you beat the right people. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still very doable and very possible.â&#x20AC;?

Tigers present balanced offensive attack: For years, Dadeville has been known for its ground-and-pound game. The Tigers have typically relied on one or two top running backs. Last year, it was the combination of Qua Tucker and Kadore Glenn, and the year before that, it was Margarius Buchanan.

But this year, especially while utilizing a pair of freshmen running backs, the Tigers are becoming more balanced. Under the direction of new offensive coordinator J.D. Atkins, Dadeville has spread things out more and found quite a bit of success, especially this past week in a victory over Southside Selma.

Quarterback Slade McCullers has been extremely efficient and is proving himself to be a dual threat. He had more than 100 yards of offense both on the ground and through the air. He was 11-for-18 passing with two touchdowns.

Those two ninth-grade running backs

McAdory

havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been too shabby either. Christian Nelson and Javuntae Holley combined for more than 100 rushing yards last week as well.

Benjamin Russell looks to rebound: After a less-than-stellar offensive performance, the Wildcats are looking to bounce back for the first time under coach Kevin Smith. Benjamin Russell started with a pair of wins then had what Smith called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;patheticâ&#x20AC;? offensive performance in a 19-0 loss to Stanhope Elmore.

The task at hand this week becomes seeing how the Wildcats respond to the adversity of losing a game. The good news is this week, Benjamin Russell is back home and is facing Selma, which lost to Opelika, 66-6, to start Class 6A Region 3 action.

Century Club: With a lot of blowouts last week, only three joined the Century Club this week.

Lyman Wardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joseph Reese had an incredible performance in its first game of the year, as he rushed for 308 yards on 28 carries, and he had three touchdowns.

Reeltownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cameron Faison needed only five carries to gain 118 yards, and Dadeville quarterback Slade McCullers rushed for more than 100 yards in addition to his passing performance.

Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to make a statement this week?

Picks

LSU at Auburn: When the Bayou Bengals and Tigers get together that something absolutely weird has to happen. You know â&#x20AC;Ś like an earthquake, a massive fire, Curley Hallman calling for multiple (and intercepted) passing plays when LSU

is up by two touchdowns late, the clock expiring before the apparent winning touchdown is irrelevantly thrown. Weird stuff.

What can Mother Nature throw at us this time? A lightning delay?

Oppressive heat?

Regardless, Auburn uses Jarrett Stidhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arm to beat the Bengals 20-13.

Alabama at Ole Miss: The Rebels

seemingly have the offense to play with anybody. Those receivers might be the best tandem in the nation and Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive backs lack experience. But can Ole Miss stop anybody? Hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happened yet.
