Before the officer could get out of his patrol vehicle, the suspects drove away, turning onto Highway 39 and running a stop sign at a nearby intersection. “My understanding of the events that led to the pursuit is that the vehicle was See PURSUIT • Page A2

Main Street Wetumpka took home numerous awards during the Main Street Alabama Day celebration Thursday night at Lake Point State Park in Eufaula. The organization received the Excellence in Fundraising award for its annual Wine Pull and the Excellence in Placemaking award for its Tulotoma Snail Trail project. Additionally, Main Street Wetumpka named member Joe Champion as the winner of the Community Award for his volunteerism. “We are absolutely thrilled to win these awards,” Main Street Wetumpka Executive Director Jenny Stubbs said. “We know our members have dedicated time and resources to accomplishing much during our first two years, and this recognition makes it that much more rewarding.” Main Street Wetumpka

“It has been the warmest welcome to Wetumpka that I could have ever expected to have,” Weber said. “I’m going to do my best to bring art and bring prosperity to this town.” As a 20-year resident of Wetumpka, Weber said moving the gallery from its original location in Montgomery had been a longtime goal of hers.

Two celebrities made a stop at the River Perk coffee shop to raise money and educate the community about an issue plaguing many military veterans. Former “Headbanger’s Ball” VJ Riki Rachtman, along with “Ink Masters” star Lea Vendetta, paid a visit to River Perk to raise money for Stop Soldier Suicide Thursday afternoon. During Riki’s Ride, Rachtman said he and Vendetta have been touring the country and making stops at different cities and towns in all 48 continental states. The journey is sponsored by Death Wish Coffee, which is sold at River Perk. “He’s doing something that a lot of people won’t do,” River Perk business partner and main barista Savannah Wood said. “It’s pretty awesome what those two are doing.” Rachtman said they were guided to Wetumpka by both Death Wish Coffee and social media suggestions. “We told them we wanted to stop at some of the cool places that sell Death Wish, and they suggested us coming here,” Rachtman said. “Everything has

observed driving in and out of several residential areas randomly and that one of our officers attempted to stop the vehicle for a traffic violation,” MPD Chief P.K. Johnson said. The vehicle drove into Autauga County, to Highway 40 then to Highway 82. While in Autauga County, the driver and passenger were observed disposing of what appeared to be illegal narcotics, according to the report. “Also, during the pursuit, one of the offenders called 911 and advised dispatchers that officers needed to discontinue the pursuit. That’s not how this works,” Johnson said. The vehicle entered Montgomery via Highway 31 to Day Street and then merged onto the northbound lanes of Interstate 65. A trooper from the Alabama

Law Enforcement deployed spike strips on I-65 and Cobbs Ford Road. Once the vehicle made contact with the spikes, at least one tire was deflated. The vehicle later stopped on Highway 40 in Autauga. Johnson said police found what appeared to be methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and numerous plastic baggies “commonly used to package and sell illegal narcotics,” in the vehicle. Police added that a storage box containing trace amounts of marijuana was also discovered. Johnson credited the Autauga County Sheriff’s Office, Prattville Police Department, ALEA and the Elmore County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance in this case, and said he was pleased no one was injured as the result of the pursuit.

“By fleeing law enforcement officers, they unnecessarily endangered anyone traveling those roadways during that time, all the officers involved and themselves,” Johnson said. “As I have stated before, we have no tolerance for this type of activity or behavior in our city.” Possession of a controlled substance is a Class D felony, which carried a possible prison sentence of up to five years and up to $7,500 in fines upon conviction. Both men were booked into the Elmore County Jail. Corley is currently being held on bonds totaling $9,500, and Mathis was later released on bonds totaling $15,000. The case was assigned to Elmore County District Court Judge Glenn Goggans. Preliminary hearing dates have not been scheduled.

President Dennis Fain added, “Both of our efforts were recognized by Main Street Alabama for going above and beyond what you normally see. Fain said Main Street Wetumpka’s Wine Pull is held every spring, and is the result of a partnership with the Wind Creek Hotel and Casino. “We’re able to raise a nice sum of money each year,” he said. Fain said the Tulotoma Snail Trail is a collaborative effort to make the downtown area more aesthetically appealing. He said Champion was selected for the Community Award because of his efforts to raise money for Main Street Wetumpka. Fain

said the pancake breakfasts Champion spearheaded, along with other fundraising endeavors, brought nearly $5,000 to Main Street Wetumpka. Fain said winning the awards felt “gratifying” to many members and served as encouragement for their future endeavors. “There is a lot of effort that is put into revitalizing a downtown,” Fain said. “It really is motivation to keep us going.” He thanked the community for its support, and said Main Street Wetumpka is always seeking new members and volunteers.

of our graduates of any university in Alabama. Even at 90 percent, I’d love to see it at 95 percent or 99 percent,” Leith said. “In addition to that, we want them to go out in our communities and be great citizens beyond just getting a job. I don’t know that every school has that philosophy, but we certainly do.” He said the university is also aiming to become a “bigger economic engine” for the state, meaning the work and research done by students and faculty should benefit the state as a whole. “We need to make sure that research actually translates into keeping jobs, producing jobs, solving problems and improving the quality of life for the people that live here,” Leith said. “What out scientists and engineers have

done is amazing, but we need to ramp up that transformation between the lab and society to a whole new level.” Leith said the majority of land grant schools are considered Category 1 Carnegie institutes. While Auburn is not, Leith said he believes the school should and will be. “We’re growing our research side, and what we hope to do in that is not just raise our prestige, which makes the degrees of our students worth more, but it’s going to make a difference in the quality of life and job creation in this state,” Leith said. He said the university is planning the largest hiring push in the nation by hiring more than 500 tenure-track faculty in less than five years.

“That will be revolutionary, and it’s going to transform our faculty and it’s going to transform the university, but it’s really, really exciting,” Leith said. Leith took time after his speech to answer questions from Rotary Club members. One member asked Leith about the time frame for the university’s plan to transition to a Category 1 institute, to which he responded the university is aiming to achieve that by the end of this calendar year. If it doesn’t make it, he said the university will continue to try. Another member asked Leith if hiring 500 faculty members will have any effect on the school’s tuition. Leith said it might, but the university will be able to keep tuition rates

consistent if the state continues to provide funding. “We had our best legislative year in 20 years,” Leith said. “We got increases from the state of Alabama for our program, so we were going to raise tuition three percent. I rolled that increase back to make up for the new money from the state.” The final questions, which were asked by Elmore County Public Schools superintendent Richard Dennis, asked Leith how he and the university are responding to the statewide math and science teacher shortage. Leith said the university has discussed loosening the criteria for teacher certifications and is continuing to invest in Auburn’s College of Education.

“I had started my business many years ago, nearly 27 years as of September. It was in old Cloverdale in Montgomery where we lived when the business started. When we moved out here, I didn’t move the business with me,” Weber said. “I felt time was fleeting. Wetumpka has such potential for being an arts magnet, and I really hated the drive back and forth every day. I have an hour back a day, I’m really close to my gallery now and I have the most wonderful city to be in the center of.” Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Gerry Purcell said he appreciates the value Weber’s gallery is bringing to the city. “There’s a real story to every piece of art in here. There’s some real human dimension to every part of it,” Purcell said. “This town has got an amazing history for artists. We’re really going to build on those things, and we’re going to build on it by opening Marcia Weber Art Objects right here in downtown.” Purcell said Weber has contacts all over the world, and is likely one of the most prominent folk artists globally, and he is thrilled to see the gallery based out of the city. “Some of the art she sells may go to Belgium, or New York, or Chicago, and it’s all happening right here at the epicenter,” Purcell said.

Dog Days of Summer

S

ince moving to the country, way out here in Tallapoosa County, we make almost daily pilgrimages on our red dirt road down to “our creek.” It’s only about a half-mile from our front door steps. Other than the “One Lane Bridge” sign, there are no pretty signs, but “our creek” flows directly into the Tallapoosa, less than a mile away. It’s God’s country up here for sure. My dad played in this creek as a boy and shot hundreds of squirrels along its banks as he grew older. Don’t worry. He ate them all. My maw maw, known as “Miss Matt’lee” (Mattie Lee) to folks in these parts, could fry up that squirrel with the best of them. I hear she made a mean mess of possum and sweet potatoes, too. I miss her, but I’m somewhat glad I missed out on that. Laney, Lucy’s Jack Russell, is a primadogga if there ever was one. She goes everywhere with us and she, of course, sleeps with us. She’s a good dog but thinks the world revolves around her. Maybe it does. When we go to the creek, we take either Laney or the two big dogs, Jude and Ruby, but never all of them. It’s just too much to try to keep up with all of them. Either way, we always take at least one dog. They just make life more fun. We take the baby, too. Last week, we reacquired Sergeant Pepper, a chihuahua mix, from Lucy’s mom. She was nice enough to take him in during our extended stay at the hospital last fall following Abigail’s early arrival. Mama Lucy has a plethora of small dogs, so you think he’d fit right in. He did okay, but he’s a big dog at heart — and in his mind — and fits in better with the big fellas. He is also for all intents and purposes, three-legged.

JODY FULLER Columnist He has a fourth leg, but it’s drawn up to his chest. Don’t feel bad for him. He gets along just fine. We began our trek to the creek with Laney in tow. She was so excited to go exploring. The big dogs, all three of them, stayed in the fenced-in yard. Ruby and Sgt. P watched us as we strolled away, but Jude kept an eye on us from inside the garden shed. It appeared as if he was up to something. He’s smart and sneaky like that. We’d made it about three hundred yards down the road when we stopped to look at something along the woodline. About that time, I saw something charging at us in my peripheral vision. It took a second or two for me to realize what I was seeing. It was Ruby and Jude. They had to have been running a thousand miles an hour. I’d never seen them run so fast. It was as if they were yelling, “Wait! Wait! Y’all forgot about us, but it’s okay. Here we are!” About two minutes later, the three-legged warrior caught up. How did they get out? Perhaps I’ve seen The Shawshank Redemption one too many times, but the first thing I thought of was Jude pulling an Andy Dufresne from inside the garden shed. Had he slowly been digging a tunnel the past few weeks? Surely, they didn’t go under or over the fence. They know all about the electric fence — so does Lucy, by the way. We decided to go back to the house to get a leash for Sergeant Pepper. He likes to explore on his own sometimes and had never been to the creek. We were just trying to be careful. When we got back, Laney

decided she didn’t want to go. If she couldn’t go by herself, then she didn’t want to go at all. Did I mention that she’s a primadogga? The leash ended up being used on her. Lucy had to drag her off the porch and once she did, she hardly left her mom’s side. So, there we were, four dogs, two adults, and baby in a stroller making our way down to the creek. Ruby was so excited. She kept running ahead but would stop every few seconds to make sure we were still back there. We were. Once we got to the “One Lane Bridge” sign, Lucy made them all sit and gave them a pep talk before releasing them into the water. Laney just laid down. Luckily, Sergeant Pepper didn’t fall off the bridge. Ruby immediately went searching for a stick. Jude found the perfect spot in the water and just stood there like a hippo. Sergeant Pepper stood on a rock like it was an island, and Laney explored, still sulking. Lucy got in the creek and splashed with the dogs, while Abigail and I enjoyed the satisfying view of so much joy from atop the one-lane bridge above the storied creek that flows to the Tallapoosa. Jude hadn’t Shawshanked his way out of the yard. He’d just overcome the redneck ingenuity that we’d used to secure the gate. I think we have it fixed now. If not, that’s okay. If they ever get out, I think we’ll know where to find them, especially during these dog days of summer. Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq.

Bond reduction denied for incest suspect By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

A request for the bond reduction of an Eclectic incest suspect was denied by Elmore County District Court Judge Glenn Goggans following an Aug. 14 bond hearing. Defense attorney Kammie B. Lee initially submitted a request

to reduce or amend the $150,000 bond of 41-yearold Ricky Winston Smith Jr., who lists an address on Lindsey Road, on July 26. The motion filed by Lee did not specify the bond amount they were aiming for, but did state Smith was not a flight risk or a danger

Smith

to the community. Smith was arrested and charged by the Elmore County Sheriff’s Office on July 9, after the conclusion of a weeks-long investigation conducted by the sheriff’s office. Court documents identified the victim as a juvenile who

is related to Smith. Incest is a Class C felony, which can be penalized by up to a decade in prison and up to $15,000 in fines. On the day of the bond hearing, Smith’s case was waived to an Elmore County grand jury. As of Aug. 21, Smith remained in the Elmore County Jail.

Christmas on the Grounds set for Saturday By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

Christmas festivities are coming early at Equality United Methodist Church, according to the church’s missions outreach chair, Patricia Hipp. Hipp said the church’s inaugural Christmas on the Grounds arts and crafts festival will be held Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Proceeds from the event will benefit local mission groups. “It’s just a way for our church to reach out to the community and let them know we’re here and we want to help those who are in need,” Hipp said. She said the festival will feature decorative items ranging from fall to Christmas from vendors throughout the River Region. “We’ve got a good variety. Nothing seems to be a duplication,” Hipp said. She said she decided to organize the event to fulfill a wish for fellow church member Debra Poole. “It was (her) idea. She was on the committee, but she got sick and couldn’t do it,” Hipp said. While initially Hipp said the festival wasn’t expected to have as much of a Christmas theme, they decided to adopt it after she came up with the name. “I believe this was a God thing,” Hipp said. “When I was thinking of a name, it just popped into my head. We’re really getting an early start on the Christmas thing.” Hipp described Christmas on the Grounds as a fun, family-friendly event and said food will be available for everyone and a playground, face painting and a craft booth will be open to kids. Hipp said registration for vendors will be open until the day before the event, and spaces cost $35 to rent and tables cost an additional $5. For more information about registration, or about Christmas on the Grounds, contact Hipp by calling 865603-6127.

Renovations are currently underway at 106 Company Street for the owners of Montgomery’s Cork and Cleaver to open a second restaurant. Amalia Kortright / The Herald

Coosa Cleaver to open this fall By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

The owners of the Cork and Cleaver in Montgomery recently announced the opening of a new restaurant in Wetumpka’s downtown area. Ryan Friday, who co-owns both restaurants with his wife, Danyalle, said the Coosa Cleaver will offer high quality meals at an affordable price. Friday described the restaurant as having a “quick, casual” theme with counter service. “It has more of an upscale feel, but at an everyday price point,” Friday said. The new restaurant’s location at 106 Company Street will include two stories. Friday said food, as well as beer and wine, will be served in the downstairs area, and a full bar will be installed on the second floor.

Meeting people has been, honestly, so great.” As residents of a military town, Wood said the issue of veteran suicides resonates with many people in Wetumpka. “A lot of us come from military families, and this cause is important,” Wood said. “Twentytwo soldiers a day die.” For Rachtman, the goal of promoting Stop Soldier Suicide is more than just raising awareness. He said it is important to educate people on the severity of the problem while also making efforts to solve it. “Usually, when you hear of a charity that raises awareness, it just means that they’re not really doing anything. To raise awareness doesn’t cost a penny,” Rachtman said. “The ‘raising awareness’ comes naturally, but it is something that a lot of people don’t know about and need to know more about.” Previously, Vendetta said she was not aware of how widespread of an issue the suicide rate among veterans is. “It’s something that can be taken care of. In this day and age, it shouldn’t happen,” Vendetta said. “When I got the opportunity to be a part of the ride, I just felt like it was such an honor.” Rachtman said Riki’s Ride has also afforded him and Vendetta the opportunity to visit new places and meet a diverse range new people throughout the country. “One day we were at (the) Foo Fighters (concert) at Wrigley Field, and the next we were riding with buffalo a foot away from us in South Dakota,” Rachtman said. “The thing that people don’t

in the process of remodeling the building to reflect the city’s history while presenting an atmosphere that will appeal to the people of Wetumpka today. “I didn’t pick this building. I guess the building picked us. A friend of ours kind of let us know that the (Wetumpka Downtown Revitalization Authority) had this development,” Friday said. “I came and met with the entire DRA, and after that it just kind of snowballed and we ended up here.” Instead of acting as competition to other local restaurants, Friday said he hopes the Coosa Cleaver will serve as a compliment to the city’s business community. “We’re totally different than anything else in the town.” Friday said. “There are some good little restaurants here in town.” As an Elmore County native, Friday said he viewed opening the restaurant here as a return home. He said he viewed the city as a “untapped market” for his business. “There’s nothing here like what we do in any way, shape, form or fashion, so we can bring that to the

table,” Friday said. Friday said he expects the Coosa Cleaver will be in a position to open its doors to the public by November. “We’re hoping for November,” he said. “I guess October might be (on our) wish list, but November is probably a more realistic time frame.” Main Street Wetumpka President Dennis Fain said the Cork and Cleaver has an excellent reputation in Montgomery, so he is anticipating they will do well in the city. “We know that they’re going to bring the same quality here to our town, and it’s something that’s greatly needed,” Fain said. Mayor Jerry Willis said the Coosa Cleaver will be a welcome addition to Wetumpka, and will mark one of the first steps toward the city’s revitalization of the downtown area. “I’ve been here a long time, and when I came here, every building in the city was operating and had a business in it. It was a very strong business community,” Willis said. “That’s our goal, to see every building filled again.”

realize is, America’s pretty great right now. There are some good people out here.” Dozens of people turned out for the event, which was co-hosted by River Perk and Coaches Corner. “It’s just a great opportunity to incorporate the downtown Wetumpka area and work with our fellow local business,” Coaches Corner co-owner Heather Norton said. Wood thanked Coaches Corner, B and B’s Health Boutique, Zap Pest Control and The Tapp 18, as well as other local businesses, for their efforts in getting the event organized. “We came together to make this happen,” Wood said. “It took a village. We all worked well together. We come together for events like this.” Wood also credited River Perk’s primary owner, Johnny Oates, for a successful event. Because his wife had underwent surgery, Wood said Oates was unable to attend, but was instrumental in putting everything together. “He spearheaded making sure we had enough coffee and doing stuff with the media,” Wood said. “He worked really hard, but he didn’t get to come.” As a Vietnam veteran himself, Wood said supporting things that benefit the military is a priority for Oates. “He really supports anything to do with the military, because he’s lived it,” Wood said. Before the event ended, Wood said the community had raised more than $1,700 for Riki’s Ride. “I think we’re nearer to $1,800,” Wood added.

Organized religion has forgotten its main purpose

G

reetings from the corner of Bridge and Bridge! I hope everyone is doing well as August comes to a close. It is hard to believe September is already upon us. I have a big surprise for us all. Football season is here! That isn’t the surprise. The surprise is that I am one pastor who does not believe in assigning the participation woes of the church solely to secular activity – especially football. Declining participation in organized religion is, in my opinion, is a matter of branding above anything else. We live in a consumer society. The customer is always right, or so people say. You get what you pay for. If the service provided cannot generate a certain level of profit, the service goes away. This is the way of

our culture. If you are affiliated with a church, I would almost guarantee your church has been engaged in some conversation about branding. The question typically is something like, “How do we need to put the word out in the community to get people to come to church?” You can purchase books on how to grow your church, but I digress. I could not agree more with the need for re-branding in the world of organized religion. The very word “church” has become somewhat of a dirty word in our culture. Worshiping communities are even choosing to remove the word “church” from their name, because it might give people the wrong idea. I truly believe the real reason organized religion remains in a state of decline has everything

REV. JOHNATHAN YARBORO First Presbyterian Church

to do with branding. In short, efforts to make it more appealing have eliminated the one word that causes people to want to connect with it. That word is service. People of similar religious convictions gather together to serve. At least that is the way God set everything up. God placed humankind in the midst of the earthly kingdom to be its keepers. God called humanity to keep it by serving it – all of it. God gave the earthly kingdom all that was needed for the whole of creation to thrive, not just survive. All God asked

in return was service to it. Organized religion as we understand it today is often more concerned with our capitalist, customer service culture than with its divine origin. This is not football’s fault or any other institution of entertainment. Organized religion has forgotten its main purpose. In order for organized religion to remain relevant in the earthly kingdom, it must rediscover and return to its divine origin. I am not speaking of a return to the “golden years” of the church, whatever that might be. I am speaking of the foundation for life in the earthly kingdom God established at the time of creation. That foundation is service. Here is what service as God intended looks like. Anyone with more than enough to meet

their own needs should share. Anyone without enough to meet their needs should seek help. The sharing of God’s gifts, whether giving or receiving, is service to what God makes possible. God promised to write the word in the hearts of all people; not one particular group. The word God imprints on the hearts of all is care and service to creation. This word extends beyond the boundaries of any type of organized religion. It extends to the whole of humanity. Whatever you chose to support for entertainment is your choice. Serving God is the true foundation of all it means to be human. Rev. Yarboro is the pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Wetumpka and a regular faith columnist for The Herald.

The

Herald Elmore County Player of the Week

Wetumpka’s Nolen is defensive standout By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

The Wetumpka defense had its back against the wall with Fairhope looking to take the lead early in the second half last week at Hohenberg Field. The Indians led by six points but the visitors were inside the 10-yard line after a big run on the quarter’s opening snap. Fairhope quarterback, and one of the state’s top athletes, Devin Mitchell rolled to his left to try to find an open spot in the end zone. Wetumpka’s Darren Nolen quickly appeared to put

Mitchell on his back. On the ensuing play, Wetumpka came away with an interception to maintain the lead. Nolen is the Elmore County Player Nolen of the Week. “It was really important,” Nolen said. “We told the defense to keep their heads up. A quarterback like that is running all the time, like JD (Martin) was last year so we were used to it. It was nothing

new.” Nolen finished the season opener with eight tackles including four tackles for a loss. The sack on Mitchell was Nolen’s first of three sacks in the second half of the win over Fairhope. Nolen’s first tackle of the game was on Fairhope’s opening possession. The senior lived around the football, making tackles behind the line of scrimmage and in the secondary. “He’s deceiving because people may not think he’s that quick but he reads it well

and breaks on the ball well,” Wetumpka coach Tim Perry said. “He’s a tenacious football player that stays after you. He made some big plays tonight and that’s what we expect out of him.” Nolen is a three-year starter at linebacker for the Indians. Perry said Nolen’s experience has helped him see the game better. “There’s not too much that he’s going to see on Friday nights that he hasn’t seen in the last two years,” Perry said. “When you consider that he started all 11 games as a

sophomore and all 15 games as a junior, that’s a lot of reps. He’s a very intelligent player. So, it did not surprise me to see him play the way he did on Friday night.” Nolen is listed at 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds and Perry described him as physically explosive. However, Nolen’s best quality could be his awareness. Perry said Nolen understands the film and can quickly recognize offensive plays and formations. Nolen looks to have the best season of his career to gain more exposure for the chance to play at the next level.

Mustangs ready to take back control of rivalry Wetumpka travels south to face Northview File / The Herald

Wetumpka’s Kamarre Murphy (19) and Hezekiah Nowden (26) converge on a Fairhope player to make a tackle in last week’s win.

By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Stanhope Elmore and Prattville have played each other in every football season for the last three decades. Prior to that, the Mustangs won five of nine meetings against Prattville. However, starting in 1988, the Lions took control of the rivalry, winning 24 of the last 30 games. Stanhope coach Brian Bradford has seen only one year of the rivalry but understands the importance of the game to the community. “Prattville always has a great football team,” Bradford said. “It’s going to be the biggest crowd we play in front of this season but we still have to control our emotions.” Prattville has won five consecutive games in the rivalry but had to forfeit its 28-23 win from 2016. During Bradford’s first season in charge of Stanhope Elmore, the Mustangs opened the season with Prattville. The Lions won 24-0, a game which started a three-game losing streak for Stanhope. This season, the Mustangs got a game under their belts before having to face the Class 7A school. Stanhope (1-0) is coming off of a 46-14 win over Chilton County in Week 0. The Mustangs returned two kickoffs for touchdowns during the victory. “We had a good game plan and we executed it well,” Bradford said. “We spread the ball around and had some really good plays on special teams. It was just a good win.” Prattville (1-0) brings a much bigger challenge though as Stanhope prepares for its first home game. The Lions defeated Foley 37-0 in the season opener last week, which was the first game with the school for coach Caleb Ross. Prattville held its opponent to just 97 yards of total offense. The defense scored a touchdown on a blocked field goal by Brandon Butts and got a safety in the win. “The whole team stands out,” Bradford said. “Their twos are just as good as their ones.” Prattville will bring more depth to the field than Stanhope can match. Sophomore Jakerian Willis got most of the touches on the offensive side of the ball for the Lions. He finished with 73 rushing yards on 21 carries to go along with a touchdown. The Lions use a two-quarterback system which Bradford said makes defensive preparation more difficult. Prattville QBs Tra Edwards and Kyle Kramer combined for 162 yards of offense and two touchdowns. With region play beginning next week, Stanhope knows the importance of staying on track. The emotion of a rivalry game can affect a season even this early in the schedule. “We know this game means so much to us,” Bradford said. “So it can be more important to the season because we always want to have that momentum going our way.” The game will be played at Foshee-Henderson Stadium on the campus of Stanhope Elmore, where the Mustangs went 3-1 last season.

Wetumpka put a lot of doubts away with its win over Fairhope in the season opener last week. Now, the Indians hope to see the success continue as they travel two hours south to take on the Northview Cougars in a non-region battle. “It’s our first long road trip so going into that environment is going

to be a challenge for our players,” Wetumpka coach Tim Perry said. Perry said he was satisfied with his team’s performance despite some mental mistakes throughout the game. The Indians still put away a quality opponent in Week 0. “We had 12 penalties, three touchdowns called back, busts on offense and defense but for the first game of the season, I was pleased,” Perry said. “We did a lot of good

things for the first game of the season.” Wetumpka (1-0) takes over the top spot in the Alabama Sports Writers Association poll this week after preseason No. 1 Pinson Valley fell to Hoover. It is the first time since 1996 the Indians have been ranked No. 1 by the ASWA. Northview (1-0) won its season opener for the first time since See WETUMPKA • Page A10

Trio of teams kick off cross country seasons By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

As football season begins to take over the state, other fall sports are getting started as well. The cross country season began last Thursday with meets across the state. Tallassee participated in the Smiths Station Panther Stages. The Tigers have a young squad and most of the runners participated in the junior high division, held for runners who are freshmen or younger. Woodrow Dean finished first for Tallassee, running the 3000-meter race in 10:03.50. His time would have been good enough to

finish inside the top 10 of the high school division. Fellow freshmen Caleb Mason, Baxlee Burton and Clay Johnson all finished in the top 20 of the junior high division as well. “As a whole, we had a lot of runners reach their (personal records) in this race,” Tallassee coach Danny Worley said. “It’s a good group that just keeps working hard.” Senior Catherine Crawford represented Tallassee in the older division. She ran the race in 13:21.70 and finished 69th out of 108 runners. Holtville also See RUNNING • Page A10

The Holtville football team has seen a long string of losses in its season openers. The Bulldogs have not won the first game in a season since 2009 but hope to break the streak when they travel to Central Coosa on Friday night. Holtville is expecting to win but they are staying focused on the game. “You can’t overlook

anybody,” Holtville coach Jason Franklin said. “You can’t win a game before you play it. If you don’t go out with great intensity and great focus, anything can happen. You can’t overlook anybody because you haven’t won an opening game since 2009.” This week will officially mark the start of the season for Holtville but the team played in a jamboree during Week See HOLTVILLE • Page A10

Edgewood hopes to bounce back By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

After a 37-0 loss to Morgan Academy last Friday night, the Edgewood Wildcats are looking to bounce back as region play looms in Week 4. Edgewood won its first game in almost three years

in Week 2 but fell back to earth with the defeat to the Senators. Wildcat coach Darryl Free said the games against bigger schools have helped the team despite the most recent defeat. “I view it as a negative See EDGEWOOD • Page A10

Canadian Football League player makes home in Wetumpka

By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

It was a snowy and blustery November night at TD Place Stadium in Ottawa, Ontario. Bear Woods and the Toronto Argonauts had their backs against the wall as the final quarter of the 105th Grey Cup ticked away. The Calgary Stampeders led by eight points and had the ball inside the 10-yard line with a chance to clinch the Canadian Football League championship. “In the moment, it was just another football game,” Woods said. “Looking back at it, it was just an epic experience. You look at the snow and you couldn’t even see 15 yards in front of you.” Woods, a linebacker for the Argonauts who makes Wetumpka his offseason home, and his defense had one last stand. Toronto forced a fumble and Cassius Vaughn returned it 109 yards for a touchdown to cut the deficit to two points with five minutes to go. “I was about to pick it up but thank God I didn’t because I never would have made it that far,” Woods said. “He is the guy we wanted to pick it up. At the end of the day, that was just a special year for our whole team that we knew that type of play was bound to happen.” Toronto tied the game on a two-point conversion and completed the comeback with a field goal in the final minute. The Argonauts won the Grey Cup and Woods celebrated by going back to his home in

Wetumpka. Woods was born in Florida but he played football at Troy University from 2005 to 2009. He met his wife, Jennifer, while at school and the two of them now live in Wetumpka along with their three kids. Woods comes back during his bye weeks in the season and spends the offseason in the community. “We’re in the downtown area of Wetumpka,” Woods said. “There’s a million things going on and it’s a very fun location that we live at.” The local Grey Cup champion has been playing in

the CFL for seven years. After a brief stint with the Atlanta Falcons, Woods was signed by the Montreal Alouettes. He had a breakout season with the team in 2016, setting the franchise record with 126 tackles in a season. His season’s performance was good enough to win a second James P. McCaffrey Trophy, which is given to the most outstanding defensive player in the CFL’s East Division. However, Woods was released from Montreal after new management was introduced. The linebacker signed with the Argonauts,

About 60 people participated in in the Humane Society of Elmore County’s Putts Fore Paws tournament.

Golf tourney benefits humane society By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

The inaugural Putts Fore Paws golf tournament was held on behalf of the Humane Society of Elmore County by the Alabama News Network and the Emerald Mountain Golf Club on Thursday. Humane society executive director Rea Cord said about 15 four-person teams registered and participated in the scramble. “This parking lot was filled before they got ready to leave (to start the tournament),” Cord said. “It was fun.” According to Cord, the event had a higher turnout than expected, the weather was great and the humane society is grateful for everyone’s participation. “We’re just thrilled with the turnout, and we thank everybody that joined in the fun and helped raise money for the shelter,” Cord said. “It couldn’t have turned into a prettier day. We’re grateful for Mama Nature. I told the Channel 8 weatherman, ‘You did a great job on this one.’” Cord said the humane society and the Alabama News Network have been collaborating to plan and host the event for a couple of

months. Additionally, Cord said a number of local businesses and organizations sponsored the event. Montgomery Subaru marketing director Megan Danielson, who participated with a team, said Putts Fore Paws was an enjoyable way for the dealership to raise money for a local charity. “We wanted to support the cause, have a good time, get out of the office and help the humane society,” Danielson said. She said she especially appreciated the tournament’s scramble format, which allowed her team to focus more on having fun instead of winning. “It’s not as much pressure,” Danielson said. “It’s best ball, so we play as a team and not as individuals.” Because this is the first-ever Putts Fore Paws event, Cord said the humane society did not have a set goal, but was aiming to raise as much money as possible. “It’s already off to a gangbuster start,” Cord said. “We don’t have a dollar goal right now. Now is just to get started with a great event.” For now, she said the humane society is working to make Putts Fore Paws an annual event and see it grow year after year.

Inaugural Clay for Kids exceeds fundraising goal By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

The Butterfly Bridge Children’s Advocacy Center of Elmore County held its inaugural Clay for Kids clay shoot at the Lower Wetumpka Shotgun Sports Club in Montgomery Friday. According to Butterfly Bridge Elmore County Assistant Director Emily Hutcheson, 12 teams participated. “(That’s) pretty good for our inaugural Clay for Kids,” Hutcheson said. She said the center initially decided to host a clay shoot as a way to appeal to Elmore County residents. “I had heard that clay shoots were a big, popular thing in Elmore County,” Hutcheson said. “I didn’t really know much about them, but I figured it was worth a shot.” While she did not have an official dollar amount on Friday, Hutcheson said Clay for Kids exceeded its fundraising goal of $3,500. The proceeds of the event will fund the organization’s day-to-day efforts to provide support and resources to children who have been abused or neglected, according to Hutcheson.

“We estimate it to cost $1,400 per child to go through all of our services,” Hutcheson said. “That includes a forensic interview, eight to 12 therapy sessions, family advocacy to the caregiver as well as caregiver support systems. So, all of that would cost about $1,400 if we did charge, but we obviously don’t. “It’s going to help us continue to provide the services we offer, so the kids can heal from what they have experienced.” Stanley Kamykowski and John Price, who were members of the winning team, said they decided to participate after seeing the event listed on the Lower Wetumpka Shotgun Sports Club’s website. They said they were initially not aware of what the event was raising money for, but were happy to benefit children. Hutcheson thanked Lower Wetumpka Shotgun Sports Club owner Matthew Senn for allowing Clay for Kids to be hosted there. “He was just so accommodating,” she said. “He was so helpful through the whole process that it kind of made it very easy to plan and put this together.”

though, and won the championship in 2017. “You learn to appreciate every chance you get to play in a game,” Woods said. “That’s what you learn after being fortunate enough to play for so many years, just the opportunity to play essentially a kid’s game. I’m just a big kid getting to tackle people for a living.” Woods had a setback at the beginning of the 2018 season, needing a surgery on his shoulder. His connections were once again in Alabama though as Dr. James Andrews and Dr. Andrew Cordover performed

the procedure in Birmingham. Friday night was the first game of the season for Woods as Toronto visited the Alouettes for the first time this season. The Argonauts lost the game 25-22 but Woods made an immediate impact, leading the team with nine tackles on the night. The Argonauts have nine more regular season games to play before the postseason begins. Woods has one more bye week in that time to have a chance to visit his family. “If anyone sees me before Thanksgiving, that’s not a good thing because that means we got put out of the playoffs,” Woods said. Over the years, Woods and his family have lived in Atlanta, Montreal and Toronto. However, with a third child recently being born, they have decided that Wetumpka is the place for a permanent home. “Those cities may be big but they miss the certain small-town hospitality that Wetumpka, or any small town in Elmore County, brings,” Woods said. The Woods are active members in the community and stay involved with their church congregation. The professional linebacker is active as a part of the praise team and as a teacher for Sunday School classes. You can see Woods and the Argonauts every week on ESPN+. The team will have a game against Montreal on Sunday, Oct. 28 air on ESPN2. All potential playoff games for Woods will also air on the ESPN networks.

players believe even more.” Northview will need to have

some success throwing the ball Friday night if it expects to beat Wetumpka. The defense is a strength for the Indians but there were some holes in the secondary shown in the win over Fairhope. This is the final game before the start of region play for Wetumpka. The school is looking to win back-to-back region titles for the first time in the history of the program. Perry knows the importance of staying on the right track before those games begin. “Non-region games are designed to prepare you for region games so that when you get to those games, you’re playing at a very high level,” Perry said. “So it’s

very critical. We need to keep building on the start that we have. Clean up some things from Week 1, work on the things we’re doing well and just play with confidence.” The two schools have played against each other four times over the last decade, with each team winning two games. Northview won the last meeting, 30-28, clinching the Cougars their only playoff appearance since 2001. Friday night’s game will be played at Rip Hewes Stadium. The Cougars have not had much luck in their home stadium, winning just one game there since 2015. Wetumpka is 9-3 on the road over the last two seasons.

but I don’t view it as something that’s going to derail what we’re trying to accomplish,” Free said. “I’m glad we opened up with three AAA schools because they should prepare us for our AA schedule starting in week four.” Edgewood (1-1)moved down a classification to AISA-AA this season but its schedule has not been different so far. Friday, the Wildcats will travel to Lee-Scott Academy, another AISA-AAA school, as the team prepares for the start of region play. “I want our team to stay focused on the challenge at hand,” Free said. “This will be our guys’ first road trip. So how do we respond from an emotional high followed by an emotional low and then we have to jump on a bus a go to Auburn? I’ll be eager to see how our guys adjust to it.” Lee-Scott (0-2) is off to a slow start this season, dropping its first two games at home. The Warriors have allowed at least 40 points in both games. It was the first time since 2014 the team allowed 40 points in a game. “I expect them to be fully prepared and ready to play so I expect it to be a good game on Friday night,” Free said.

Last season, the Wildcats lost 34-21 in their trip to Lee-Scott but held the Warriors scoreless in the second half of the season. Tyler Abernathy, now a senior, scored the final touchdown of the game for Edgewood. The Wildcats have not won a game in the week following a loss since 2010. While there have been many factors to keep that streak alive, Free knows the importance of a good response. “This will be a big week for us to find out what we’re made of,” Free said. “How do we respond to adversity? How do we respond to getting punched in the face by Morgan? Do we let that impact us or do we just shake it off and just worry about Edgewood? Hopefully we just worry about us.” This will be the final game for Edgewood before the start of region play next week. The Wildcats do not overlook the early games but the team knows the importance that region games bring. “We’re going to get better so that way once Week 4 comes around, we’ve prepared ourselves to the best of our ability,” Free said.

Holtville 0. The Bulldogs defeated Verbena 34-0 in a game which they got to play a lot of players off the bench. “Anytime you are able to play everyone on your roster at this time in the year is really beneficial,” Franklin said. “In return, it builds us some depth for the future and down the road because you never know what’s going to happen.” Quarterback Drake Baker needed to attempt only six passes on the night, completing four of them for 175 yards and two scores. He connected with seniors Jaderick Carter and Dajon Reeves for touchdowns of 65 and 59 yards, respectively. Holtville’s rushing game was the focus of the night though, finishing with 161 yards and three touchdowns. Four different players finished with at least 25 yards with junior JJ Jackson leading the way with 45 yards on six carries. “Overall, I was tremendously pleased with how our offensive line played last week,” Franklin said. “We didn’t have to throw the ball that much so we got to work on our run game.” Central Coosa played in

an official game last week, losing at Winterboro 36-0. The Cougars have only 17 players listed on the roster and have not won a game since 2016. Franklin is still focused on keeping his players focused despite playing a much smaller opponent. “Sometimes the film will lie to you,” Franklin said. “They turned it over a good bit the other night but this week could be the week they don’t have any turnovers or don’t have any penalties. You can’t focus on those things because you have to think you’ll get their best shot

regardless of what happened the other night.” The Cougars will bring in a team that has players switching positions all over the field. The quarterback position sees two styles throughout the game with senior JaMichael Chambliss and junior Donta Daniel. “They move a lot of people around,” Franklin said. “We’re preparing for two different type of quarterbacks and some odd formations.” The game is scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m. at Keith Bullard Stadium in Rockford on Friday night.

Holtville’s volleyball team also got its season started last week. The Bulldogs lost in straight sets at home to Marbury in the opener. The varsity squad’s loss came after Holtville’s junior varsity team came back to defeat Marbury after dropping the first set.

“Nobody’s ever going to drive this in a lake, run it over or catch it on fire. This is awesome,” O’Dell said. “I enjoyed the tool rental business, but I’m definitely seeing the advantages of this.” JoJo’s is located at 165 Red Eagle Drive. It is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays, but 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. on Wednesday. Saturday, JoJo’s is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Additionally, O’Dell said JoJo’s will stay open after all Wetumpka High School home games during football season.

the rental store as well as a need for entertainment in the area. “I’m thinking that some frozen yogurt and gelato will give them something to eat while the mini golf, once we get it going, will give them something to do,” O’Dell said. The course is expected to open in October, and will feature between 18 and 36 holes. Opening JoJo’s came with several challenges, according to O’Dell. However, he said he is already seeing its benefits.

“I stayed a little bit late, because people kept coming,” O’Dell said. O’Dell said he originally ran an equipment rental company for about 13 years. After he faced several health problems, O’Dell said he decided to make the transition to a different kind of business. “I had three back surgeries, am needing four or five. That explains the leap,” O’Dell said. According to O’Dell, the idea for the multi-purpose business came from the land he already owned from

Reaching more than 22,000 households in Tallapoosa and Elmore counties The Dadeville Record

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be grumbling to yourself. Someone seems to have used the word “impossibleâ€? when discussing one of your goals. Instead of adding stress to your day, let go of the comment and do something just for you. Visit with a loved one, if you can. Tonight: Impulsiveness works. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might think to yourself that someone is a bit oɈ and in no way grounded. Sometimes saying less is better. Keep your thoughts to yourself for now. Plans could rapidly change during the day, but you will like the Ă„nal results. Embrace spontaneity. Tonight: All smiles. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are full of fun and energy. Be more aware of what is happening around you. A partner or co-worker could be going behind your back. If someone becomes eɈusive with praise, then you might be eye to eye with a hypocrite. Tonight: Let oɈ some steam with friends. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Confusion and a lack of clear communication might be familiar to you. You won’t be drawing this energy to yourself, but you are sensitive to it. You read people well, and often get what they really mean to say. Others will be seeking you out. Tonight: Count on a late dinner. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Sometimes an invitation to a fun happening should not be turned down. Dive into work early on so that you can return to these fun thoughts later. You could be putting too much energy into an event, which is likely to result in disappointment. Tonight: Take a long walk by water. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Try another approach, or do something diɈerently from how you have done it in the recent past. A boss or parent could start becoming more argumentative. You might want to distance yourself, as this person clearly needs to work through a personal issue. Tonight: Out late.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Once more, you have decided to go along with someone else’s agenda. Think of the implications involved in this action. You tend to make decisions that attempt to keep the peace, but perhaps others would like to see more of your choices. Tonight: You call the shots. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You Ă„nally see eye to eye with an individual who often disagrees with you. When you both decide to work on a project, you Ă„nd the process easy. Why not bend a little more frequently? Support a close friend or loved one in completing a long-desired goal. Tonight: Take a break. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be aware of the cost of making a certain choice. You could cause yourself signiĂ„cant angst if you don’t rein in your spending. You might want to buy a token of appreciation for a loved one; keep your budget in mind, and you won’t have a problem. Tonight: Accept an oɈer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You see the source of mixed messages, but you also have a diɉcult time deciding which path would work best for you. You will know when you make the right decision. Others smile when you are more content. Zero in on an oɈer. Tonight: Make loved ones a higher priority. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Express your feelings clearly. You might be dependent on the other party involved. If possible, avoid a labyrinth of confusing comments. If you cannot get to a resolution, try another way. Reach out to someone at a distance in order to get a new perspective. Tonight: At a favorite place. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Be as clear as possible when dealing with a partner or close loved one. Somehow, this person might not be understanding your words as you mean them. You might need to slow down what you are doing in order to clear the air. Tonight: Use your imagination, and you’ll land well.
