THIS IS ONLY A DRILL By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer How does a plan come together when disaster strikes? It’s not split-second decision making or having a huge bank of resources at the ready. Pre-planning and practice can be the key to a successful recovery when the real thing happens. Tragedy struck Tallapoosa County Tuesday in the form of a tornado striking the Adams Water Filter plant in Alexander City and Camp ASCCA. Only it wasn’t the real thing — it was a practice to see how a large-scale res-

cue and recovery operation could be performed. Scattered across the Camp ASCCA site were students from Benjamin Russell and Edward Bell Career Technical Center performing the role of casualties and victims. “Access to Camp ASCCA by road was cut off because the stormed downed multiple trees,” Tallapoosa County Emergency Management Association (EMA) director Jason Moran said. “In that scenario the best way to get there is by water.” First responders left the boat ramp at Coley Creek and traveled to the camp searching its

The idea was to create the environment a mass casualty event. “The simulation involved multiple state and local agencies,” Tallapoosa County Emergency Management Association (EMA) director Jason Moran said. “There was also search and rescue to find missing victims.” The Alabama Law EnforceCLIFF WILLIAMS | THE RECORD ment Agency had helicopters Officers with the Alexander City Police Department help with response during a disaster drill Tuesday at Camp ASCCA.The drill was responding to a simulated tornado touchdown See DRILL, Page A12 at the Adams Water Filter Plant and Camp ASCCA.

Boat operator dies after going overboard Staff Report TPI Staff Troopers with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s (ALEA) Marine Patrol Division are investigating an incident which occurred at approximately 5 p.m. Saturday that claimed the life of a Pell City man. A 30-foot Sea Ray Sundancer was traveling eastbound on Kowaliga Bay in the main body on Lake Martin between Castaway Island and Wares Slough when the operator went overboard. Another vessel in the area recovered the victim from the water and transported him to the Kowaliga public ramp adjacent to Highway 63 where he was pronounced deceased. The Elmore County Sheriff’s Office, Russell Lands Security and Kowaliga Volunteer Fire Department also responded to assist. No further information is available at this time, as ALEA Marine Patrol Troopers continue to investigate. WILLIAM MARLOW | THE RECORD

CDC finds possible link between adenovirus and hepatitis in Alabama children By KAITLIN FLEMING Managing Editor Nine Alabama children have become ill with a seemingly mysterious case of hepatitis and two of the children now need liver transplants, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC announced Friday that it believes it may have uncovered the cause for the cases — adenovirus. Adenovirus causes a variety of illnesses, including the common cold, bronchitis, pneumonia and conjunctivitis. The nine children who fell ill with hepatitis, which is an inflammatory condition of the liver, were previously healthy and between the ages of one and six. According to the findings released Friday, the children have either recovered or are on the road to recovery. The CDC began ruling out possible causes after the first cases started cropping up in the state this last fall. It ruled out hepatitis A, B and C; COVID-19; autoimmune hepatitis and Wilson disease. All nine children, who were diagnosed with hepatitis since last fall, tested positive for adenovirus while six tested positive for Epstein-Barr virus but did not have antibodies, meaning they had an earlier infection that was not active. Lab tests showed some of the children had adenovirus See HEPATITIS, Page A12

Dadeville city and community members officially welcomed Cottage Creations, a new artisan retail store located along West Cusseta Street, to the city with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday.

FROM DAYTON TO DADEVILLE

Cottage Creations celebrates grand opening with ribbon-cutting “That this could be a possibility, opening a store, and supporting other artisans here. I think we are just paying it forward and bringing a bit of Dayton to Dadeville.”

By WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Reporter

adeville city and community members officially welcomed Cottage Creations, a new artisan retail store, to the city with a ribboncutting ceremony Tuesday. During the ceremony, members of the Dadeville Chamber of Commerce used the occasion to welcome the business to the city. The new business is located along West Cusseta Street. Store owners Jay and Tena Hawkins describe their new business as a showcase of local artisans and their products, with their variety of goods including items like coffee, chocolates, jewelry, organic soaps and handmade home decor — all of which is locally-made. The store’s owners are among Tallapoosa County’s newest residents, but Tena’s history in Alabama dates back much farther. As a child, Hawkins moved around frequently due to his father’s position as a pastor. Tena lived twice in Alabama while growing up before moving to

Dayton, Ohio permanently for several decades. Last year, however, Tena began missing her southern roots and thus relocated to Stillwaters. While in Dayton, Tena had been working as a repurposer and began searching for a similar business after moving to Tallapoosa County. “The seed had already been planted, but I didn’t ever think it would come to fruition. So when we moved here, I was actually looking for a job,” Tena said. “When I came to get my hair cut, I saw a lease sign in the yard and poked my head up against the window and looked through and the dream kinda sparked.” Now, with the ribbon cut and her

business officially open, Tena added that dream is nearly realized. “That this could be a possibility, opening a store, and supporting other artisans here. I think we are just paying it forward and bringing a bit of Dayton to Dadeville,” she said. Even though Tena hasn’t lived in Alabama since as child, she still recalls the state’s southern hospitality, and added that Dadeville and Tallapoosa County embody that spirit very much. “Everyone is so friendly. Our family cannot say enough about how welcing this community has been. Everyone has gone out their way to help us,” Tena said. Molly Parker, the chamber’s executive assistant, said that the chamber is excited for the Hawkins to join the community and described their store as a good addition to Dadeville’s downtown shopping district. “We are very excited for this new artisan shop. We wish the owner, Tena Hawkins, great success. We are so happy she has brought this shop to our area,” Parker said.

City council appoints Adam Wade to school board By William Marlow Multimedia Reporter The Alexander City City Council has selected Adam Wade as the newest member of the Alexander City Board of Education, with the city council approving his appointment during a meeting on Monday. The city council interviewed three Alexander City residents earlier this week to fill a vacancy on the board of education, before selecting Wade, a longtime native and Benjamin Russell graduate. Kathy Fox and Zabrinski Salter were also considered for the vacancy, in addition to Wade. During the meeting, each candidate answered questions from the council, with subjects pertaining to their strengths and weaknesses, dealing with opposing opinions, how partnerships are effective for education, why they wanted to be on the school board and barriers to success in education. All three are connected to the community and Alexander City Schools in some manner. Fox has children in city schools, and Salter and Wade are both graduates of Benjamin Russell. All three expressed the importance of career technical education in addition to the traditional education pathways. However, the city council ultimately chose Wade, who spent the interview process expressing his desire to change the

conversations around education in Alexander City. “It revolves around being a small town,” Wade said. “A lot of these students think because it’s a small area they can’t achieve what they want. We have to show kids you can succeed in this city.” Councilman Scott Hardy congratulated Wade on the new position, noting school board appointments as among the council’s most sacred responsibilities. “We would like to conguarte Mr. [Adam] Wade on his appointment to the school board. I believe as a council member, outside of overseeing the finances for the city, the appointment of the school board is maybe the more important thing that we do and I take this nomination very seriously. I am looking forward to working with [Wade] in the future,” Hardy said. Wade is a Auburn University alumni and previously worked with Fruit of Loom in Kentucky before coming back to Alexander City when the opportunity arose. Councilman Eric Brown concluded the meeting thanking the candidates for their participation in the nomination process. “I just want to thank all the people that applied for the school board. It’s a thankless position and we need people like you that are willing to step out there and volunteer your time and energy and everything else that goes into it.

Alex City hosts first annual Gumbo Get Down By WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Reporter Alexander City residents gathered downtown Saturday to celebrate the first annual Gumbo Get Down, a day that was filled with fun and food as locals competed for best gumbo recipe in Tallapoosa County. During the festivities, 15 teams prepared various gumbo dishes with chicken, seafood and a variety mix being among the popular ingredients. Main Street Alexander City hosted the inaugural food festival as a fundraiser, with all proceeds split between the organization’s operational expenses and downtown programs, including beautification projects and community events. Executive Director Stacey Jeffcoat described the inaugural event as a success and one that the organization hopes to make an annual festival following such positive community feedback this past weekend. “It was so much fun watching the 15 teams prepare the gumbo and then get to sample all of it. The judges said that there was not one bad gumbo, they were all delicious and very creative. It was great seeing all of the people downtown enjoying the event,” she said. Jeffcoat attributed the festival’s success to community at large, noting the organization’s sponsors, the gumbo teams that competed, judges, volunteers, the City of Alexander City and the Main Street Board. The city council noted community reactions as particularly positive, and expressed their support of similar ventures in the future during a regularly scheduled council meeting on Monday. Councilman Chris Brown recounted the day as a time to reconnect with neighbors and enjoy quality time with fellow Alexander City residents. It was an awesome event Saturday.

people there, just hundreds and hundreds from all over,” Brown said. “It was great to see everyone come together to host good food, fellowship and something I hadn’t seen in a long time.” The contest ran from 12 – 4 p.m. with winners being selected from several categories: seafood, chicken and sausage, as well as specialty, best-looking booth and a people’s choice award. Stephanie Coley, a festival judge, described the food as delicious and even a little overwhelming with so many great entries. “Being a gumbo contest judge sounded like a good idea, until the container count was at 19-20, I didn’t know that some teams were in multiple categories, but we passed stuffed and moved to slap-happy pretty quick,” she said. $100 cash prizes were awarded in several categories, including for best-looking booth and a people’s choice award, where the public voted on their favorite gumbo recipe. In addition to good fun, there were inflatable rides and live music from the BRHS

Jazz Band. The list of winners for each category included: Alex City Glass for Best Seafood; Talisi Slough Gumbo Crew for Best

Chicken and Sausage; John McKelvey for Specialty; The Three Little Pigs for People’s Choice and The El Gumbro’s for Best Decorated Booth.

Mother’s Day honors the woman or women in your life who have been there for you in your lifetime. A Mother can be biological, adopted, or even just a close friend. In the United States, the idea of Mother’s Day was created by a lady named Julia Ward Howe. Howe wrote the Mother’s Day Proclamation which was a plea for the Civil War to be put to an end in the name of a Mother’s Day for Peace. Unfortunately, the idea was never officially recognized. In the late 1850’s, Anna Jarvis promoted the idea of a Mother’s Day of Work to help improve sanitation conditions for American soldiers in military hospitals. President Woodrow Wilson declared the first official Mother’s Day in 1914. Many Nations followed suit, and Mother’s Day, as we know it today, was born. The most popular Mother’s Day gift in the United States is roses. A simple DR KIDZ handmade card, or even a special moment that you take to tell your Mother you love her, would make her day special.

other’s Day is Sunday! God certainly blessed me with my mom, having her for a little over 70 years. This is my first Mother’s Day without her and I miss her so much. My mom and dad had only been married for seventeen months when God chose to bless them with my presence right before Christmas. They probably think they got a “beautiful little baby girl” for Christmas but instead I received the greatest gift! I received not only a great dad but a precious mom who would love and nurture me for all the days of her life. Both have now finished their work on earth! Each year on the second Sunday of May, my dad would buy the most beautiful orchid for me to give my mom on her special day; it was always yellow! Years passed and we got away from the orchid and settled on a “yellow rosebud” or a “white carnation”, especially after my mom lost her mom. Both my grandmothers were beautiful Godly Christian souls as well. Things are a little different this year as far as always looking forward to the family being together in church on this special day. She always looked so forward to our children and grandchildren coming together to celebrate, although it was more of a day to just love on each other. Jackie Wilbourn, member of Bethel Baptist Time throws so many curves in our lives and Church, Chaplain with Alabama Baptist Disaster we all must adjust to changes. My mom “is” Relief Team.

special! Many children cannot say the woman who birthed them is a 24/7 mom to them. A loving mom is an individual who wants only the best for their child whether they choose giving their child up to someone who can better care for them., allowing a dad to step up to the plate and raise the child or having a family member step forward. (I am aware there are factors preventing a birth mom from nurturing a child but show respect to the one who chose to give life to a child). Mothers are mentioned throughout scripture and their importance. “She is clothed with strength and dignity; … .” “She opens her mouth with wisdom, ….” “Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her … .” My prayer is that my children and grandchildren will feel the same love my mom had for all of us and that they will always walk with the Lord. At the end of my journey, just as when my mom’s journey ended, I will hear the words I know my mom heard, “well done thy good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things; I will make thee ruler over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” I am blessed that God chose Mary Jo Caldwell Brown to be my mom.

Other area softball tournaments begin By DALTON MIDDLETON Spor ts Editor The regular season is over, and now softball teams from across Elmore County are set to begin area tournament play this week. All five public schools in Elmore County will be in area tournament play this week across three different area tournaments.

NFL draft numbers don’t lie T

he Georgia Bull- ANDY dogs set GRAHAM an SEC record over the week- Columnist end with 15 players being taken in the NFL draft. Five players were selected in the firstround from what was widely considered the best defense in college football. While correlation doesn’t always equal causation, it’s no coincidence the Bulldogs also won the college football national championship in 2021. By contrast, the Auburn Tigers had one player taken in the draft with cornerback Roger McCreary a second-round pick by the Tennessee Titans. The Tigers finished the year with a record of 6-7 last season just in case you might have forgotten. In another depressing bit of stark reality, the Dawgs have beaten Auburn eight times in the last nine games and the last two haven’t been real close. Again, two plus two doesn’t always equal four in draft arithmetic. LSU had ten players selected by NFL teams this weekend, but Auburn defeated them in Baton Rouge and the Bengal Tigers finished the year 6-7 as well. Of course, Coach O was in charge or, more to the point, not in charge of that situation. The Bayou Bengals notwithstanding, it’s easy to understand why Auburn has struggled with upper echelon teams in recent years. X’s and O’s are important, but there is no substitute for the Jimmy’s and Joe’s. The last time Auburn only had one player taken in the NFL draft was 2013. They were coming off the worst season in program history, all things considered, going winless in the SEC and 3-9 overall. However, they also had one of the greatest turnarounds in the history of college football going 12-2 and winning the SEC title later that year under first-year head coach Gus Malzahn. How did that happen and is another turnaround possible? First of all, 2012 happened for a lot of reasons, but recruiting highly rated kids with questionable character issues was definitely a factor. Gene Chizik and his staff signed about 73 players in the 2010, 2011 and 2012 recruiting classes which were ranked 5th, 6th and 11th respectively. At least 37 of those made little to no contribution whatsoever and that doesn’t include Michael Dyer, who was very productive before getting kicked off the team. There were drug problems, multiple arrests and a shooting in which two players lost their lives. Malzahn immediately changed the attitude and approach of the program. He weeded out the troublemakers and brought in a talented 2013 class with some dynamic pieces like Nick Marshall, Montravius Adams, Carl Lawson and Rudy Ford. Bryan Harsin has seen a litany of players hit the transfer portal since he took over the program. However, the message from Auburn players has been very positive. The ones that have remained on the roster are totally committed to Harsin and his vision. The Tigers will have a veteran and, more importantly, united locker room in 2022. There is definitely talent in the lineup, but Harsin and his staff must bring in an extremely productive recruiting class this year with some dynamic pieces. Don’t expect a turnaround like 2013, but also don’t be surprised to see the Tigers outpace their expectations this fall as well. The only way Auburn is going to truly close the gap on its competitors is one game, season and recruiting class at a time.

Benjamin Russell senior Taylor Harris digs in to hit.

Benjamin Russell softball opens area tournament against Stanhope Elmore By DALTON MIDDLETON Spor ts Editor The Benjamin Russell softball team’s road to the postseason is no joke, and the Lady Wildcats will have to win two games to reach regional play. The AHSAA Class 6A, Area 5 area softball tournament begins today at Wetumpka high school, and Benjamin Russell will have to win a few games to advance to postseason play. Benjamin Russell enters the tournament as the No. 3 seed after finishing the regular season 15-11-1 and 1-3 in area play. Stanhope Elmore enters as the No. 2 seed, while Wetumpka is the No. 1 seed and the host. Benjamin Russell and Stanhope Elmore will play in the first game of the doubleelimination tournament tonight at 5 p.m. The winner advances to play Wetumpka in the second round while the loser falls into

the loser’s bracket and awaits the loser of Game 2. The championship is currently slated for Thursday at 5 p.m., with a second championship game to follow directly after if needed. The Lady Wildcats didn’t have the most successful regular season area results with a 1-3 record, but they did split the season series against Stanhope Elmore. The Mustangs, which enter the tournament with a 6-24 overall record, took the first game of the series in a shootout, 16-15. Ben Russell then bounced back in the second game of the series. In that second game, Leah Leonard had two home runs and four RBIs as Ben Russell won, 5-2. Their success did not translate against Wetumpka in the season series, as Ben Russell lost both matches 13-1 and 8-0. But See SOFTBALL, Page A8

4-3, on a walkoff hit in Game 2. AHSAA CLASS 6A, AREA 5 AT WETUMPKA The Wetumpka Lady Indians won their area tournament with ease this season. Wetumpka enters postseason play with a 36-9 overall record and a perfect 4-0 record in area play. In four games against Stanhope Elmore and Benjamin Russell, Wetumpka outscored its opponents by a whopping 40-3. Their wins were 13-1 and 8-0 over Benjamin Russell, while they won 16-0 and 3-2 over Stanhope Elmore in the regular season. Mya Holt leads the Indians with a 21-5 record in the circle with a 0.94 ERA. Wetumpka has five players hitting over .400 on offense, including Ashlynn Campbell, Holt, Ella Watson, Lily Davenport and Jasmine Russell. Stanhope Elmore enters the tournament as the No. 2 seed with a 6-24 overall record, but a 1-3 record in area play. The Lady Mustangs split the season series with Benjamin Russell, who they open the tournament against on Wednesday at 5 p.m. The winner moves on to face Wetumpka while the loser heads to the loser’s bracket and awaits the loser of Game 2. AHSAA CLASS 5A, AREA 6 AT ELMORE COUNTY As dominant as Wetumpka was in area play, Elmore County was even better. The Lady Panthers went 6-0 in the area in the regular season and enter the tournament with a 30-11-1 overall record. They are the No. 1 seed and host No. 4 seed Jemison on Wednesday at 2 p.m. Elmore County beat Jemison twice in the regular season, winning 11-1 and 10-0. Surprisingly, Jemison was the only area opponent to score on the Panthers as Elmore County outscored its opponents 69-1 in its six games. Holtville enters the tournament as the No. 2 seed and will face No. 3 Marbury at 4 p.m. on Wednesday. The Bulldogs went 3-3 in area play in the regular season and split the season series with Marbury, losing 13-3 and winning 11-5. The win was most recent. Holtville has won its last five games entering the tournament and looks to keep on winning to make the playoffs.

Wetumpka went 4-0 in the area and outscored its opponents by a whopping 40-3 in area play. The Indians enter the tournament with a 36-9 overall record. Mya Holt leads Wetumpka on the mound with a 21-5 record in the circle with a 0.94 ERA. She also adds a team-high 15 home runs while four other players - Ashlynn Campbell, Ella Watson, Lily Dav-

enport and Jasmine Russell - area also hitting over .400. That will be a tough test for Benjamin Russell senior and ace pitcher, Taylor Harris. But as both Wetumpka coach Daryl Otwell and Stanhope Elmore coach Keith Jones know, it’s no easy feat scoring runs on Harris when she’s on her game. “It’s no easy task to go up there and score some runs on Taylor Harris,” Otwell said after the team’s second meeting. “She’s such a phenomenal player for Ben Russell.”

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be careful today, because you will be tempted to do impulse shopping and spontaneously spend money. “I want that!” This might be a good thing, or it might not be. Save your receipts and the box. Something unexpected could impact your income. Again, it might be positive -- or not. Today is a crapshoot. Tonight: Chatty conversations! TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Today the Sun in your sign is lined up with wild, wacky Uranus, which makes you feel impulsive and given to rash actions. Therefore, think twice before you act or speak. If you don’t, you might say or do something that you later regret. On the upside, you’re ready for anything! Tonight: Moneymaking ideas. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will feel restless today. You have the feeling that you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. In fact, something unexpected might occur that takes place behind the scenes -- something you least thought could happen. Stay grounded so you’re ready for anything. Tonight: You have something to say. CANCER (June 21-July 22) A friend might do something that surprises you today. Or possibly your interaction with a group will amaze you or go oﬀ in a new direction. Someone might take a stand that you disagree with. The thing is, anything can happen today when dealing with friends and groups, so be ready and expect a few surprises. Tonight: Research. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Today you feel strongly independent and won’t take kindly to being bossed around or told what to do. This could make your relations with bosses, parents or supervisors a bit touchy. Meanwhile, someone in authority might do something that surprises you. (“Busted!”) Tonight: Socialize. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Sudden travel opportunities might fall in your lap today. Or conversely, planned travel might be changed or canceled. This same unpredictable quality could aﬀect education, something to do with medicine and the law, or issues related to publishing and the media. “It’s a crapshoot!” Tonight: Talk

to the boss. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Something unexpected might impact the assets that you share with others, or something to do with shared property, inheritances, taxes or debt. Double-check everything and make no assumptions. Anything can happen. It could be a boon or a windfall -- or the opposite. Tonight: Study and learn. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) In all likelihood, a friend, partner or spouse will do something that surprises you today. They might throw you a curveball. Perhaps they will suggest more freedom in the relationship. Or they might introduce you to someone who is diﬀerent or unusual in some way. Tonight: Check your nances. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be careful, because work-related accidents can take place today. However, you also might see ways to introduce reforms to where you work. Meanwhile, your work routine could be interrupted by staﬀ shortages, power outages, technical problems, machinery breakdowns or something completely unexpected. Tonight: An important conversation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Parents, please take note: This is an accident-prone day for your kids. Be vigilant and aware. Meanwhile, social activities will suddenly change. You might receive a surprise invitation, or social plans might be canceled. Something unusual could impact a romantic relationship. Tonight: Work. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your home routine will be interrupted today. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Someone unexpected might knock on the door. Get dressed so you are ready for anything. And charge your phone. Tonight: Playful ideas. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Be mindful of everything you say and do today, because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. Denitely. Be careful driving, jogging, cycling or walking. On the upside, you might suddenly have a genius-like idea. Nevertheless, your daily routine will change. Expect the unexpected. Tonight: Home repairs.

The effort allows all first responders and volunteers to learn what others can do and how things might go in a large-scale response. “In the last couple of years there has been a lot of turnovers,” Moran said. “This gives new employees a chance to experience a mass casualty event.” But Moran didn’t just place one phone call and an exercise happen. “There has been a committee planning this since November,” Moran said. “It takes a lot of people coming together to make this successful.” Some mistakes were made, which is to be expected, but the exercise provides a means to get better. “There was some good learning [Tuesday],” Moran said. “Good things will come from it. It means a better and more effective response if a real event occurs.”
