Lodging tax coming to Dadeville By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
One hotel has been in Dadeville for decades and with hopes of another, the Dadeville City Council enacted a lodging tax at Tuesday’s meeting along with starting the process of dealing with nuisance properties. “We have one hotel,” Mayor Wayne Smith said. “We anticipate another and feel we need to do this.” Without any discussion, the council unanimously passed the lodging tax. The state will get a 5-percent tax on all short terms in Dadeville and the City of Dadeville will get 5-percent. Visitors will pay a See DADEVILLE • Page 3

DEAR ABBY: I’m 22, and my boyfriend wants sex, but I absolutely do not. I don’t feel sexual desire -- not at all. I’m asexual, but he refuses to believe me and insists my “past relations have scarred me� and that I “need to get over it.� When I was 17, I was raped by my ex-boyfriend, and I admit it traumatized me. But that isn’t what my problem is. I honestly don’t feel any need for sex. I never have. This has become a serious problem for us because my boyfriend keeps pushing for it. Last year, we had sex on his birthday, but I froze up. I couldn’t make myself refuse -- just as I didn’t consent -- but he doesn’t seem to understand that. His birthday is coming up soon and he wants to have sex again, but like I’ve said, I DON’T. What am I supposed to do? I can’t force myself to feel lust. It isn’t there. Please help me. -- NO DESIRE IN THE SOUTH DEAR NO DESIRE: Whether
DEAR ABBY Advice
your lack of desire is related to the rape or you are naturally asexual is something no one can answer without a mental health professional seeing and evaluating you. However, I can unequivocally say this: If you don’t want to have sex, pay attention to your feelings and don’t do it. There has been some conjecture that because we live in such an oversexualized society that some individuals have become desensitized to it. However, because of your sexual history, it might benefit you to find a rape counseling center and talk to a counselor to ensure that the sexual assault didn’t cause or contribute to this. DEAR ABBY: After dating a
The difference between being a girlfriend who goes with him to college and being Charlie’s fiancee is night and day. What do you plan to do when you get there? Get a job? Go to college, too? Who is going to support you financially on this adventure? As a girlfriend, you will have far less status than if you were engaged. If he met someone else, you could be discarded like a gum wrapper along the highway of life. Please talk to your parents or some other adult relatives about this. As Charlie has made clear, he isn’t ready for marriage -- or even a committed relationship. You may not want to lose him, but the surest way to do that would be to do what you are planning.

guy I’ll call Charlie for two years, I broke up with him. It was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made. I know I can’t change anything, but now we have started talking again, and Charlie told me he had planned to propose to me the day I dumped him. We have been discussing starting over again together. He’s about to go across the country for college, and he asked me to move with him. Of course I said yes! It would be a perfect way to start fresh. When I asked Charlie when we’d make us official, he said he has to focus on college first. I don’t want to wait two to four years to begin our lives. Why would he want me to move with him and hold off being official if we’re going to be together in the end? And what’s the difference between being his fiancee moving with him and being a “friend� moving with him?

combined 10 percent in lodging tax for stays in Dadeville. Dadeville Fire Chief Keith Wilkerson informed the council the cadet program was up and running. “We have started the cadet program,” he said. “We have had four sign up and we are hoping for eight.” The cadets will be juniors and seniors in high school and will not fight fires but can go out on calls. The cadets will also train with the department. Wilkerson said the department has more than 100 fire detectors to give away thanks to a gift from the Alabama Fire College and the Alabama State Fire Marshal’s office. The department will be taking applications for the devices with priority going to senior citizens and low-income residents who do not have a detector. Wilkerson also asked the city to set up a bank account for the department as it could be getting a $42,000 FEMA grant. The grant would be for $40,000 and the city would have to come with $2,000 in matching monies. Wilkerson said he had been approached about the fire department burning the house that caught fire on East Lafayette Street a few months ago. Discussion centered around the proximity to other homes and utilities making such a burn difficult. The council was also uneasy about needing to close two streets including East Lafayette for a length of time for the burn. Ultimately the council encouraged the property owner to get in touch with town attorney Robin Reynolds or Smith to discuss the matter. The property owner on Lafayette Street might be able to have the structure taken down under the city’s demolition grant program. Council members and Smith said they get about a call a week about the property not being cleaned up. Another property owner explained to the council her angst over her neighbor’s inability to clean up. “I complain,” Dadeville resident Elizabeth Davis told the council.
“I have been here several times. It is disgusting. It makes my place look bad.” Davis explained the property is overgrown with trees growing over into her property and an old mobile home in the rear of the property behind a rundown home. Davis has recently filed a complaint with the Dadeville Police Department under the nuisance property ordinance. “You have started the process,” Smith said. “It was on the demolition grant program but when we made it voluntary, the property owner did not want to do it. He said he would clean it up but has not.” Dadeville Public Library Director Abbi Mangarelli told council members the building the library is in has some issues and she will be seeking some help from them. “The library has a flat roof,” she said. “We are having water problems related to the roof and they have become significant.” Mangarelli explained the library was looking at avenues for funding like grants and such and were also seeking sponsorships and donations to help replace windows and doors. She said the doors were still open and could use some help. “If you see a wait spot, come see us,” Mangarelli said. “We will give you a bucket to place under the leak.” Dadeville Police Chief David Barbour said he had one new officer about to start the police academy and one officer would be joining the Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force Sept. 1 The Dadeville City Council also: • approved paying the bills • approved the minutes from the last meeting. • approved three recreation center rentals. • voted to decline a one-time bonus to retirees. • learned council member Dick Harrelson and city clerk Debbie Minor were still soliciting bids and quotes for repairs to city hall. • asked the building inspector and the water and sewer board to look into a matter of debris being pushed into a sewage easement.

College This event will offer students an opportunity to see what these colleges and universities have to offer. There will also be recruiters from various branches of the military on hand to explain opportunities available for students who may not seek the traditional route to college. Recruiters from several technical colleges will also explain what their programs offer students. “We’ll have some people from the military there,” Cole said. “We realize that every student is not going to go straight to college. In the past, we have had the Marines, the Army and the National Guard.” While College and Career Night was designed for high school students, this event is open for all who are interested. “We say 9th through 12th grades, but we have students in the 7th grade come as well. It’s for any student or parents who would like to gather scholarship information and find out about financial aid opportunities.” Because Flat Rock Missionary Baptist Church is hosting the event and is centrally located, this is an opportunity for students from Tallassee, Elmore County,
Hazel According to Russell Lands Director of Events Robert Gunn, Sister Hazel’s top hit, “All For You,” was recently ranked No. 9 in Billboard’s “Greatest of All Time Adult Pop Songs.” He said Sister Hazel was invited to play because of the quality of their music and the wide variety of people they appeal to. “Their demographic is very diverse. They appeal to everyone from the youngest to the oldest,” Gunn said. “Their music is still clean, and they put on a good show.” Gunn said this is the sixth time that Sister Hazel has played at Lake Martin, and they have been positively received for the most part each time. “They always draw a crowd, they’re great to work with and they do a lot of good when they come here,” Gunn said.

Once chosen, receiving an acceptance letter from that college or university is very exciting time for a student. However, funding can be daunting. This is why FAFSA, Free Application for Federal Student Aid, representatives will be also available to assist any student who is ready to take that next step. “If they have questions about the FAFSA, there will be someone at a booth that can go over it with them and they will go ahead and put the student’s information in,” Cole said. “In the past we have had students attend who had already graduated from high school and they were getting ready to go to college the next semester.” FAFSA is the application students fill out in order to determine their financial aid eligibility. FAFSA needs to be filled out each academic year, often by parents. For more information about the upcoming College and Career Night, contact Cole at 334-740-9863 or 334-339-1475.

Our View Senior center a step in the right direction
F
riday night, the New Site Senior Activity Center held its monthly game night event. Senior citizens not only from New Site, but Alexander City, Dadeville and other surrounding areas showed up for a few hours of fun, food and fellowship, playing games and spending quality time together. Whether these guests were playing Rook, Uno, Sequence or dominoes, there was plenty of fun to be had. Laughter filled the air, and the seniors conversed with each other on a multitude of topics, including local happenings and the games being played. Many of those in attendance weighed in on what game night and the center as a whole means to them, all of who had nothing but good things to say about the program. The excitement and enjoyment seen by the seniors in attendance at the New Site Senior Activity Center Friday night shows the program is on the right track. Under the leadership of director Jan Kennedy, local seniors have the opportunity to meet twice a week, play games and fellowship with others. Once a week, the center holds stretching exercises to keep guests physically active. Monthly luncheons are held every third Wednesday, where seniors have the chance to enjoy some great food, bingo and special guest speakers with plenty of information. Some of the seniors have even taken trips as nearby as Valley for the district competitions of the Alabama Masters Games (a Olympic-like event for seniors) and Opelika for shopping trips, and as far afield as Williamstown, Kentucky to visit the Ark Encounter museum. With so much taking place on a regular basis at the senior center, the hope is it will continue to grow and offer more things to those who attend its programs. No matter what, Mayor Phil Blasingame, the New Site Town Council and center director Jan Kennedy all deserve a round of applause for working so hard to make this program possible for area seniors. Having activities and events for residents of all age ranges is important, and with quality leadership and a town government showing how much it cares, it seems there is no limit to how big the center and its programs can grow.
Outlook The
Kavanaugh to SCOTUS assures Trump legacy
T
he appointment of a United States Supreme Court Justice is one of the most profound legacies that a U. S. President can achieve. The opportunity that President Donald Trump was given to appoint Neil Gorsuch to the high tribunal last year will be a monumental achievement of the Trump administration. The chance to name a second Supreme Court appointment will be a colossal legacy for the Trump presidency. The appointment of two seats on the Supreme Court has given Trump an indelible place in U.S. presidential history. The leftist detractors of the Trump presidency are moaning. However, the conservative base of American politics has got to be rejoicing with hallelujahs. The quiet, conservative Americans who voted for Trump probably never realized how impactful their vote for Trump was in November 2016. For within less than two years after casting a vote they will have placed America on a more stable conservative path for not only the rest of their lives, but possibly for the next generation. President Trump’s appointment and subsequent confirmation of Neil Gorsuch to replace the deceased Antonin Scalia was a profound choice. However, his selection of Brett Kavanaugh to replace the retiring jurist Anthony Kennedy is equally brilliant. If Trump does nothing else during his tenure in the White House, if you are a conservative American, Trump’s presidency has been a rousing overwhelming success. When the last votes were counted in November 2016, and it became obvious that Donald Trump had defeated Hillary Clinton, conservative Americans were exuberant. Many had turned out to vote for one reason. The possibility of naming a conservative to the Supreme Court was their primary
STEVE FLOWERS Columnist reason for voting for Trump. The naming of two within two years was beyond their wildest dreams. With the conclusion of the eight-year reign of the liberal Obama era and Trump’s defeat of Clinton, President Obama made one last simple, profound statement, “Elections have consequences.” That epitaph has become prophetic. The court had been drifting leftward out to sea with the two extremely liberal Obama appointees, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor coming on board. However, the Supreme Court Ship of State has taken a turn to the right under the helm of Captain Trump. Brett Kavanaugh is an excellent selection. He has impeccable credentials. He is only 53 years old, which means that he will be a sensible mainstream conservative voice of the court for probably three decades. Kavanaugh’s resume reads like a profile of someone born to be a U.S. Supreme Court Justice. Like most Supreme Court members, he graduated from a prestigious Ivy League Law school. He is a product of Yale undergraduate and Yale Law School. Kavanaugh was the favorite for the appointment from the beginning. He was always on the top of Trump’s short list and the choice of the Republican legal establishment in Washington. He is a former law clerk of the retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy. Although Kennedy had been appointed by Republican Ronald Reagan, he was considered the one moderate on the court. There are four bona fide liberal justices and four stalwart conservatives. Kennedy
was the swing vote in the middle. Trump’s appointment of Kavanaugh will replace a swing vote on the ninemember court with a staunch conservative. Kavanaugh served in George W. Bush’s administration and has been a distinguished jurist in the Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit for over a decade and has written over 300 opinions. Therefore, his record as a jurist has been thoroughly reviewed and scrutinized. He is looked upon as a top legal scholar and strict constitutional adherent with a record of following judicial precedence. Kavanaugh will be confirmed along pretty much the same partisan lines as Gorsuch. Trump is blessed with a Republican majority Senate. Leader Mitch McConnell will put the confirmation hearings on a fast track and have Kavanaugh approved by the end of October, prior to the mid-term elections. The Republicans have a thin 51 to 49 majority. All 51 Republican Senators appear to be on board for confirmation. Our Senator Richard Shelby has given a big thumbs up to Kavanaugh. In addition to the 51 Republicans, Kavanaugh is expected to pick up four Democratic Senate votes of moderate Democrats from red states. The big question is how does our new accidental anomaly, Democratic Senator Doug Jones vote. He is considered a longshot to win in 2020. However, a yes vote on confirmation could give him a glimmer of hope. A no vote would guarantee his not being elected to a full term. See you next week.

Letter to the Editor
Reader: Different take on anthem protest Dear Editor, I very much appreciate Ms. Arbogast’s views on the NFL protests, but there a couple of points on which I feel I must disagree. I, too, support Mr. Kapernick’s right to peacefully protest and have so since the beginning. I felt he chose unwisely in deciding to kneel during the anthem, because he should have known that many people, particularly veterans and right-leaning conservatives would be offended. The result was he failed to raise awareness of police brutality for more than a brief moment. The movement soon became an object of scorn by many and a means of defiance against the Trump administration by many others. Today, little is said about the original intent behind his protest and more focus is placed on calling it an “anthem protest” instead. I think you are mistaken when you say no one is protesting the flag. I can certainly not know another’s mind, but today’s political climate infers that many are protesting against an America they wish
to re-invent, possibly as much as the idea of police brutality and racism in the original action. And the flag is a representation of that America. I understand when you say you don’t know why so many are offended by the kneeling. I see everyday comments and actions that offend many groups of people that I cannot understand why such triviality would matter. But just because it doesn’t offend me doesn’t mean others shouldn’t be offended. Each of us forms our own opinions and values based on the route our lives have taken us. Some have experiences that are more cherished than others. For those who firmly believe in Kapernick’s attempt to raise awareness about police brutality, I would recommend seeking another platform that actually advances the cause and stop wasting so much time and capital on trying to validate his method of protest.

Vandals take lights from Nixburg cemetery including one from infant grave
S
ometimes we wonder what makes some people so darn evil that they would steal from a church or graveyard. When I was coming up in the Catholic Church, the churches were always open. You could go inside, get solace, pray by yourself or seek a priest to share your worries, or seek advice. Now they are locked up. The Kendrick Baptist Church Pastor Peggie Sue Ott, helped by Diane Rainwater, had just put out brand new solar lighting around each gravesite next to the church in Nixburg. There was extra special lighting around one grave and a special solar angel on a baby’s grave. One or more evil thieves came during the night Saturday and stole sixteen lights, plus the special angel on the baby’s grave. Anyone who has had a stillborn baby, knows that it hurts deeply after you love and feel
ROSIE MORGAN Columnist that baby, getting excited and planning for the arrival, only to have such a huge let-down that takes many years to recover, if you can. Just difficult to imagine souls so cold that they could steal such items from the cemetery of any church. If you saw anything Saturday driving past the church in Nixburg, please come forward. This evil must be stopped. Happy Birthday to Eddie Hampton Nelson of Goodwater. He is celebrating Aug. 18 and then the 20th is Diane Duchene’s day. She lives in Seaman. I just heard that my Auntie Winnie in England passed away Aug. 7. She is certainly in a better place now and
must have been in her late 90s. Auntie Winnie was my dad’s sister Auntie Joy’s best friend from Singapore and not my real kin. Back in the 1930s there, the Chinese were thought of as a lesser class and my grandfather had forbidden play and association with those from Chinese parents like my Auntie Winnie. The kids made their own friends regardless of warnings. When I was in England visiting my mum with Pat Garnet in Sept. 2014, we spent the night with Auntie Joy’s daughter Jackie, who took us all to Auntie Winnie’s favorite Chinese restaurant for lunch. Winnie, who had early Alzheimer’s, was so funny on the way there, telling us about people who broke into her room at assisted living and stood behind a glass wall at the foot of her bed watching her, making her upset. Then she reminded us that she was more than 300 years old. While waiting for our order inside,
she wished they would hurry up as, “You know I am over 300 hundred years old.” We all just humored her and she was happy to eat at her favorite place where some of us had to ask for a knife and fork, since only chopsticks were set at the tables. Since I have never seen even a photograph of my grandfather, I asked Winnie what he looked like, her reply was, “Just like a little French man.” Albert de Broise was from Belgium. Ron had his shoulder replacement surgery last Wednesday. He came home Thursday. The staff, especially Dr. Sheils were fabulous. Before Ron’s surgery, Dr. Sheils had a difficult hip as well as troublesome lengthy and difficult knee to replace, making Ron’s time going to surgery after 3 p.m., but Doc kept us informed. His surgery only took twenty minutes and went well. We both were so impressed with Dr. Sheils. He
The attack of the bridge buzzards
S
ome people call them turkey vultures. Others may identify them as black vultures. Whenever I see one, however, I call them by their Southern name – buzzards. If you have been observing the Alabama Power crew members working on Thurlow Dam as you cross Fitzpatrick Bridge, you’ve probably noticed the buzzards; I mean vultures, roosting below the bridge. One morning as I was driving to work, one of these birds flew up from the side of the bridge and its wingspan was bigger than my vehicle. I was looking right at this creature. It scared me to death – which may be the point. Vultures have a decidedly morbid reputation. They fly around in a circle pattern, searching for dead and decaying animals to devour. In
MICHAEL BIRD Columnist movies and cartoons, they are often portrayed as ugly, menacing death-eaters waiting for something, or someone, to croak so they can swoop in. In reality, however, vultures are very helpful. After being scared by the Elmore-Tallapoosa county line flock, I did a little research on them. The only birds bigger than vultures are eagles and condors. A vulture has a 70-inch wingspan, which can be pretty intimidating if one flies close to you. Vultures have excellent vision and turkey vultures have a keen sense of smell, which helps them find carrion not only on roadways but even in the deepest wooded areas.

In fact, a turkey vulture can smell a dead creature up to a mile away. These birds are often referred to as nature’s cleanup crew, feasting on what others have left behind. What is most fascinating about vultures is that their digestive system is able to withstand the nastiest, grossest, foulest, most bacteria-filled remnants of a former living being and convert it into droppings, which are, for lack of a better word, sanitizer. While turkey vultures are bigger and nonthreatening to humans, the black vulture is a bit more aggressive in its quest for carrion. Black vultures follow their turkey brethren around and may, through sheer numbers, intimidate or even attack turkey vultures that have already identified prey. These scavengers will eat just about anything, from rotting vegetables to the eggs (or young) of
another mammal. Their corrosive stomach acid makes it all go down a little easier. After they have devoured all the things we would never want, they regurgitate it into the mouths of their babies. I can’t help but wonder what these hissing predators look like as they loom over the Alabama Power workers at the dam. It has to be a bit unsettling even though the buzzards pose no real threat to humans. Over the weekend, I was working in my yard cutting the grass. The buzzards began their daily routine, at around 9 a.m., circling in the air. Their shadows seemed to grow larger and I could only imagine I was being marked for death. And then I remembered one key fact – the only thing a vulture won’t eat is another vulture. I can only hope that this bird didn’t look too appetizing to them.
is the kind of surgeon everyone would want as he cares for all patients and does his job impressively. I must add that the food at East Alabama Hospital is exceptionally tasty. I portioned Ron’s supper into bites for him to eat – fry-baked chicken breast, collards and macaroni-cheese. Ron was quite happy with his meal. I hated to leave our dogs outside, but luckily it didn’t rain, even though a long day for them. They do have good shade from a Vitex tree and bushes, so they could get comfortable. Remember to drink plenty of water. If you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Until next week, keep smiling. Rosie Morgan is a community columnist for The Outlook.

PGA golf and the red-hot Atlanta Braves
B
elieve it or not, we are now only 17 days away from the Auburn Tigers taking on the Washington Huskies in the Chickfil-A Kickoff Game at MercedesBenz Stadium. My world is about to be consumed with college football, college football and more college football. When is it not? OK, that’s a fair question, but even more so than normal. That’s why I’m going to take advantage of this week and touch on a couple of topics outside of college football while I still have the chance. Brooks Koepka won the PGA Championship over the weekend which was the third major championship of his young career. In fact, he joined an incredibly select group of golfers to win three major tournaments before the age of 29. That group includes Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth. Koepka is also now one of only five men to win the U.S. Open and PGA Championship in the same year. With all due respect, that group is probably even more impressive with the likes of Ben Hogan, Gene Sarazen, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. Koepka has won three of the last six major tournaments he has entered and can be described as only one of the best young golfers in the world. However, the majority of the galleries were not concentrated on him and his bulging biceps. Television ratings weren’t up nearly 70 percent because of his blistering drives and immaculate irons. No, that was all due to one Eldrick “Tiger” Woods. The man so many — myself included — had written off as a sad, washed up hasbeen that vaguely resembled one of, if not the, greatest golfers of all time. Tiger contended in the British Open earlier this year, but truly began to look like the old Tiger last Sunday in St. Louis. I’m not sure he’ll never win another major, but this past weekend proved to me it’s possible. Woods is simply good for golf and, to be honest, I think golf is good for Woods. I’ve never been the biggest Tiger Woods fan, but I’m glad to see him apparently get his life together, be healthy, and play good golf. With all that being said, it would be a mistake to overlook or undervalue the accomplishments of Brooks Koepka while celebrating a moral victory for Tiger Woods. The Atlanta Braves lost eight of 11 games heading into the All-Star break and trailed the Philadelphia Phillies by a half game after leading the division for nearly six weeks. I was concerned the young Braves would follow the pattern of the previous year and never recover from a late first half swoon. It appeared my fears were warranted when Atlanta opened the second half losing five of seven games. Well, I don’t know if Brian Snitker broke out some smelling salts or if a live rooster was sacrificed in the locker room, but the Braves have won 12 of their last 16 games and retaken first place in the division. Rookie Ronald Acuna Jr. has absolutely caught fire hitting five homeruns with nine RBIs during a six-game stretch. This entire team is so much fun to watch and they have a penchant for late inning dramatics. I’m not guaranteeing a division crown, but I do believe it will come down to the wire. The Braves and Phillies play each other seven times in the last ten games of the season. It’s going to be an incredibly exciting month of September.

Benjamin Russell coach Kevin Smith speaks at the annual 12th Man Club dinner Tuesday night at The Mill Two Eighty.
Smith speaks at annual 12th Man Club dinner By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
F
or more than 20 years, Kevin Smith has been attending the annual Benjamin Russell 12th Man Club dinner, which helps kick off the football season with the head coach addressing the club. But this year, his role at that dinner changed. Smith was the one doing the speaking Tuesday night at The Mill Two Eighty as part of his duties as the Wildcats’ coach. During his speech, Smith opened by introducing his coaching staff then went on to describe just how much Benjamin Russell and being the head coach means to him. “We’re this small town with a big school, and that’s always been our MO,” Smith said. “Most of our kids were born (at Russell Medical). That’s the great thing about Alex City and Benjamin
Russell to me. You don’t see move-ins. There’s no recruiting. Our kids grow up in this town and they go play for us, so we have a small-town mentality but we actually do have a chance.” Smith then discussed with the club some changes that are on the horizon for the Wildcats, first and foremost the lack of Russell Athletic jerseys. “I’ll be the first head coach here, if I’m not mistake, to take the field in something other than Russell,” Smith said. “It’s not going to change any tradition we have. We’re just going to go forward with a different uniform, and they look really good by the way.” Smith also opened up about some on-the-field changes, namely to the offensive. The Wildcats will move from a Wing-T offense to a run-pass option, which Smith said basically means there will be a pass play built into every run play.
But that doesn’t mean the Wildcats won’t be running the ball, especially with running backs like Keedon Young and Hezekiah Hunter. Smith just thinks this system will be better fit with so many athletic skill players. He said he’ll look for Landon Cotney, a third-year starting quarterback, to lead the squad and has receivers Za Stowes and Ryan Willis who will carry quite a bit of the load. “I think we have some really good skill guys,” Smith said. “It’s going to look different in some spots, but it’s going to look a lot like it did when Tyre (Gray) was here — less quarterback run and more throwing.” One thing that won’t look different is the defense. “We’re going to have a front seven,” Smith said. “I believe that’s what Benjamin Russell has always been built on — stopping the run — so whatever we got to do, we’re going to build a front seven
and then build from there.” There should be quite a bit of potential on the defensive line, with guys like Kashari Ross, Marquel Jackson and Pokey Norris. Colby Ford is also on track to be a big factor, and Joe Young has moved from offensive to defensive line. “I don’t know if we’re going to be the most huge, but I think we’ll have size and speed added together,” Smith said. “In the past, we’ve had really fast guys that were small or we’ve had really big guys that couldn’t run, so I think we’ve met in the middle.” The 12th Man Club also announced it would be starting an end-of-the-year fundraiser this season. It plans to host a shrimp and crab boil after the season with Smith once again speaking about a season recap. More details about this event will be released as the season progresses.
Wetumpka QB suffers season-ending ACL injury By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Wetumpka quarterback JD Martin will miss the entire 2018 football season due to a torn ACL, according to head coach Tim Perry. The senior received the news Monday night. “It was obviously worse than we expected,” Perry said Tuesday. “Our hearts go out to him because he’s such an outstanding young man and he has worked extremely hard to develop into the type of player that he is.” Martin entered the season as the state’s top athlete recruit. He has had multiple offers from Division I colleges, including Ole Miss, Tennessee and Kentucky. Martin has played basketball and track for the high school as well but his timetable for a return is unclear at this point. The senior was sitting out of the first week of fall football practice while awaiting the test results. “Got my results back from the MRI I have a torn ACL,” Martin wrote in a Facebook post on Monday. “I never got so emotional in my life!

Wetumpka quarterback JD Martin (18) tore his ACL and will not play this season, according to head coach Tim Perry.
Especially me missing my senior year of friday (sic) night lights. I’m sorry it had to end in such bad news!” Former teammate Kavosiey Smoke, who is now playing football at the University of Kentucky, reached out to Martin after hearing the news Monday. “I told him to just keep your head up and pray about it,” Smoke said. “Don’t let
it keep you down. Don’t worry about anything else, just focus on recovering and you’ll be back.” During his junior season, Martin finished with 2,038 rushing yards to go along with 23 rushing touchdowns. He added another 1,367 yards and 13 touchdowns through the air. Martin’s play led the Indians to the 6A state championship game for the
first time in school history. “Even though JD is a very important part of our team, this is just an opportunity for other young men on our team to now step up and we have no doubt that’s going to happen,” Perry said. Wetumpka was ranked second in Class 6A in the preseason football poll by the Alabama Sports Writers Association. The injury to Martin will surely be a cause of concern but Perry still believes his team is ready to handle it. “There is a cast of very good players around him and it was due to the collective efforts that we were able to have the kind of season we had (in 2017),” Perry said. “We expect the same this year. We have an outstanding group of young men and a talented team.” Junior Tyquan Rawls has been taking snaps at quarterback during the team’s first week of practice and is expected to be the starting quarterback during the season opener. The Indians will begin their season Aug. 24 with a home game against Fairhope.
