First Baptist returns casino money By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

In a decision that brought out strong opinions on both sides, First Baptist Church of Wetumpka voted to return a $25,000 donation for tornado relief from Wind Creek Casino and the Poarch band of Creek Indians.

“We had never thought of receiving a donation like this before,” First Baptist Church senior pastor Dr. James Troglen said. Troglen said the church does not believe in legalized gambling, although it recognizes gambling as it exists at places such as Wind Creek is protected by federal law. While this made the

donation somewhat controversial for the church, Troglen said the ultimate decision rested with church members and was brought up as an item at the church’s most recent business meeting. “Before the business meeting, we got it out (from a safe it had been stored in since the funds were donated) and showed it to our deacons,” Troglen

Citing a desire to return to business, Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce executive director Gerry Purcell has announced his resignation effective March 5. “I took the executive director position three years ago as a nonprofit sabbatical to serve this wonderful community,” Purcell said in a press release. “It has been a privilege serving the business community and our citizens. Now Purcell it’s time for the next season and next challenge. Having been in business for so many years, the pull of the marketplace is strong and I look forward to diving back in to a new business venture.” Purcell added in a subsequent interview, “I feel I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish in this position.” Purcell said one thing that factored into the decision was damage his house suffered during the Jan. 19 tornado.

Wetumpka Middle School Principal Tremeca Jackson observes a class of sixth-graders as they work on preparing for upcoming state testing.

‘IT’S REWARDING’ Jackson believes experiences have proven valuable Editor’s Note: This is the third in a series profiling principals in the Elmore County School System. By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer Middle school is a time of transition for students. During these years, students leave behind the structure of elementary school and begin to take a serious look at their futures, while preparing for the rigors

of high school and life after graduation. With her 21 years in education serving at virtually every level, Wetumpka Middle School Principal Tremeca Jackson believes her experiences have been highly beneficial to helping her better make the school the best it can be. “I know what it’s like at all levels,” Jackson said. “We have to understand the middle school child.

When the next superintendent of the Elmore County Board of Education takes over in January 2021, he or she will receive an increased salary of $138,000 yearly, which is in line with other similar school systems across Alabama. The board took action on the increase at Monday night’s meeting. It had not reviewed the superintendent’s pay, which is currently $114,089, according to the school system, since 2007. “We want to entice qualified individuals to run for this position,” superintendent Richard Dennis said. Board member David Jones added, “This is something we have to do.” Board member Joey Holley said the Elmore County system, which is one of the few remaining school systems in the state to elect its superintendent, is behind other similar school systems with competitive salaries for their superintendents. With a window to approve any changes until the end of March, Holley recommended the superintendent’s salary increase to $138,000 annually. While the board approved the increase, Dennis and board chair Michael Morgan stressed it won’t See SALARY • Page A3 Edgewood players celebrate winning the AISA-AA state championship defeating Autauga Academy, 38-21, on Friday.

Edgewood wins AISA hoops championship By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

dgewood defeated Autauga 38-21 on Friday night to claim the AISA-AA boys state championship. The Wildcats allowed just four points in the first half to knock off their rivals and earn the school’s first state title since 2016. “We knew we were going to come out and leave it all on the floor,” Edgewood coach Darryl Free said. “We knew if we were going win

this thing, it was going to be on the defensive end. In the first half, that was one of the best defensive performances I’ve ever seen in high school basketball.” The Wildcats got their offensive production from Robert Stewart and JC Bush, who each scored 14 points in the victory. Stewart was named as the tournament’s Most Valuable Player while Bush, along with Kaleb Varner, was named to the all-tournament team.

Purcell job to complete repairs to his home helped lead him to make the decision to step down. Prior to moving to Wetumpka, Purcell ran a successful national consulting practice from Atlanta and was heavily involved in startups in recent years, including a $30 million venture with a Fortune 20 company. “Wetumpka was a refreshing change from the hustle and bustle of Atlanta and hectic corporate life,” Purcell said. “Julianne and I have made tons of friends in Wetumpka and the quality of life is wonderful. Wetumpka is a great place to live and is poised for even greater things.” In his three-year tenure, Purcell said the chamber added nearly 150 new members, held more than 50 ribbon cuttings, including for the chamber’s Innovation Center, reached a $200,000 budget for the first time, tripled the chamber’s presence on social media and improved revenue from events by more than 30 percent. “Opening our Innovation Center was an important milestone for our community, quickly fulfilling the vision of becoming the anchor for a downtown revival,” Purcell said. “It also meant we tripled our operational expenses.

There is still work to do and I believe the next director has a good foundation to build on. Most importantly I am very grateful for the many friendships and supporters of the chamber who have helped us along the way.” Since stepping down, Purcell said he has heard from a multitude of people in the community, all of whom have wished him well and provided positive feedback on his time as the chamber executive director. Despite his belief some may be sad to see him go, he said virtually everyone he has talked to said they understand his reasoning. Purcell said he has considered returning to the consulting industry while potentially also working in the field of technology. Purcell said he plans to remain a chamber member and help the next director with a smooth transition as needed.

As a way to make sure everyone is on the same page in this regard, there are several key things she works hard to make sure her teachers and staff understand every day. “I want them to understand this is a safe and nurturing place for our students,” Jackson said. “We have to remember, for some kids, this may be all they have.” As Jackson wants to ensure Wetumpka Middle School provides a safe and positive learning environment with a focus on learning for all students, she said she and teachers hold conferences with their students on a regular basis, discussing goals for the students to reach and help them better understand why they are learning what they are learning. At the same time, she said it is important to hold students accountable for their actions in order to help them develop into productive citizens. Among the tools the school has at its disposal to better prepare its students for the future is a complete set of Google Chromebooks. Jackson was proud to

say Wetumpka Middle School was fully a one-to-one school, with each student having his or her own device to complete assignments on. Teachers have their own technology to enhance the learning environment, while students are educated on being good digital citizens. “We are equipping our students to thrive in our technologically-based world,” Jackson said. “We don’t want technology to replace our teachers, we want it to enhance the learning process.” While Jackson said her experiences teaching and being an administrator at the elementary, middle and high school

levels have all been beneficial to her and how she oversees the school, this has not been the only source of experience she has drawn upon. “I was a military brat, so I spent time overseas as a child,” Jackson said, explaining how living abroad showed her the value of diversity and appreciating different cultures and ethnicities. As principal, she has worked to help her students understand and appreciate these same values. Although Jackson works to make Wetumpka Middle School a model school, she said there are several

Hysmith, who Dennis said has been recognized as the state’s top mechanic three out of the last four years, was recently selected by the Alabama Department of Education to serve on the Alabama School Bus Specifications Committee. In a state with the country’s toughest specifications for school buses, the board agreed Hysmith would be an excellent official on the committee. For his dedication and service, the board presented Hysmith with a special certificate during the meeting and those in attendance gave him a standing ovation. In other action at the meeting: • Elmore County Technical Center’s Dr. Jimmy Hull said a recent employer showcase day was a success with 16 companies from around the region providing students with valuable information about potential career paths. He also cited a major success story from the event; a student who

challenges and issues the school has to work to overcome. “Communication is the biggest thing,” Jackson said. “Student apathy can be an issue at times, especially at the higher grades. Parental involvement is sometimes a concern. Many of our parents are involved, though.” Looking to overcome these challenges, Jackson said teachers and staff come up with various strategies designed to keep students motivated, such as reminding those interested in athletics how good grades are paramount to being able to continue to play their respective sport. Groups like Jackson’s Powwow Group give students and teachers alike the chance to voice their concerns on school topics, as well as share ideas on how to solve these problems. While there are many challenges Jackson said the school faces, she said working in education is highly rewarding. This holds especially true, she said, when students she taught or served as an administrator for in the past come back to her and tell or show her how they have gone on to be successful in their lives, especially those she knew with disciplinary issues in school. “It’s rewarding to see them grow and come back to me and tell me about it,” Jackson said. “It’s worth all those difficult days.”

Under the revision, all information presented to the board prior to a hearing would still be given all board members. The board members could then decide if a hearing is required. • A motion to approve a change to the policies and procedures for cheerleading and dance was approved. Dennis said the primary focus of the policy change is to relax restrictions on tryouts, especially for children of military parents who may have transferred into the system after tryout dates. • The board heard from Lt. Col. Christina Karvwnaris of the United States Air Force, who, along with Dennis, spoke about a special summit Maxwell Air Force Base held with school officials from systems in and

around the Montgomery area. The purpose of the summit was to help avoid issues of students with military parents not having credits, including dual enrollment credits, not transferring when military families are reassigned to their next location. • Chief financial officer Jason Mann said things are looking good financially for the system. He listed some of the things the legislature may look at in its upcoming session, including a pay increase for teachers and increased funding to provide for school nurses. Mann said the building project at Stanhope Elmore is on schedule for how it had been budgeted, although there was a delay in the mustang sculpture to be put on display.

He also said the board is looking into the possibility of adding an additional position for the Millbrook alternative program. The next regular meeting of the Elmore County Board of Education will be Monday, March 18. The meeting will be held at Stanhope Elmore High School and will begin at 4:30 p.m.

FBI, Justice Department remain a swamp

ne of the swampiest places in the federal government since 2009 has been the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation. The upper echelons of these and other intelligence agencies were packed with multiple layers of politically driven appointees. Nevertheless, the house of cards President Barack Obama built is beginning to quiver. Several news sources have reported after President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey in May 2017, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe became acting director and met with other senior law enforcement officers to discuss how to remove Trump from office. In these meetings officials discussed how many cabinet members might vote to declare the president unfit for office under the 25th Amendment. McCabe has said Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein repeatedly offered to secretly record his meetings with President Trump. Rosenstein has continually denied he ever seriously considered wearing a wire but has said any related comments he may have made were merely jokes. Nevertheless, isn’t it astonishing a group of DOJ and FBI officials at the highest levels would hold multiple meetings to conspire to overthrow a newly elected president? At least McCabe has said and written as much respectively in his interview with Scott Pelley on

DANIEL GARDNER Columnist CBS’ “60 Minutes” and in his new book, “The Threat.” McCabe has admitted he pressured Rosenstein to appoint a special counsel to continue the investigation into whether Trump or his campaign colluded with the Russian government to win the 2016 election. Rosenstein appointed special counsel Robert Mueller nearly two years ago and we’re still waiting on his findings. Since then the original charge to Mueller has been amended with other secret charges presumably regarding activities of Trump and those associated with his campaign. President Trump fired Comey for leaking classified information and lying. Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe for lying to authorities and the inspector general referred McCabe for criminal prosecution. In all, nearly 30 high-level officials in the DOJ/ FBI swamp have been fired, demoted or have retired since May 2017. How dependent is Mueller’s investigation on all these former officials who have been fired or demoted for cause? Will Mueller’s findings document any of the shenanigans inside the DOJ/FBI that targeted President Trump? If

Mueller finds no collusion with Russia, will his final report document the history of the FBI’s initial investigation including the Steele dossier paid for by the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee? Will the report document details of the FISA warrants that approved spying on some associated with Trump’s campaign? Coincidentally, as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, Judicial Watch, an independent government watchdog organization, has received the first of many pages of email traffic within the FBI just weeks before the 2016 election documenting concerns about classification status of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails regarding Benghazi. When did Clinton, Obama, et al know Benghazi was a planned Islamic terrorist attack and not a spontaneous reaction to a YouTube video? What role did the FBI play in covering up Benghazi in 2012 and 2016? Why didn’t the FBI investigate the hundreds of millions of dollars Russians poured into the Clinton Foundation while Clinton was secretary of state? Why was the FBI’s investigation into the Clinton campaign dropped? Will anyone investigate those who plotted to overthrow the president? Daniel L. Gardner is a syndicated columnist from Mississippi.

Letter to the Editor

McCabe, Rosenstein should be brought to justice Dear Editor, I sincerely hope Americans in general are paying close attention to stories coming out of Washington this week regarding efforts to force President Donald Trump from office. Former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe’s new book hits the newsstands this week and McCabe made a splashy appearance on CBS’ “60 Minutes” to obviously sell his book. McCabe, as you will recall, was fired as acting FBI director just one day shy of collecting his pension for lying to Congress about press leaks. I have watched his “60 Minutes” interview twice and remain unsure of what exactly is going on. There are possibilities of selling his book or a bureaucrat seeking revenge for being fired or maybe genuine concern of the direction the country is headed. McCabe candidly admitted he and assistant attorney general Rod Rosenstein met on multiple occa-

sions discussing wearing a wire to entrap President Trump and protracted discussions originated by Rosenstein about removing the president from office using powers of the 25th Amendment, going so far as to tabulating cabinet members’ votes they could rely on. Understandably, this admission has set off a firestorm in Washington. Senior Republican senators led by Lindsey Graham say this behavior constitutes an attempted coup and are declaring yet another investigation. With obviously unexpected blowback, both Rosenstein and McCabe are trying to back off their original statements with Rosenstein refuting and denying McCabe’s claims. Both men are lifelong Republicans. This places our national government in precarious uncharted territory. We have non-elected government employees (bureaucrats) plotting to unseat a duly elected president of the United States. Even to the common guy

on the street, this is in direct violation of Title 18, Section 2381 of the United States Code: Treason. What these people have done is much more than “giving aid and comfort to an enemy” in the code; they have schemed to thwart the will of the voters by removing a head of state and that under the code is high treason. The penalties for high treason range from a minimum of five years in prison to death. Just listening to this garbage makes me nauseated. How could anyone in their right mind be party to such behavior? Regardless of political party affiliation, surely you will agree the never Trumpers who are trying to hound the president from office have crossed the line this time. Surely our Department of Justice will administer justice evenly, blindly and firmly in this case to two of their very own. James W. Anderson Talladega

Wetumpka, county looking at grants for improvements By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

Donald Campbell / The Herald

Artworks of all mediums are on display at PrimeSouth Bank in Wetumpka as part of the Elmore County Art Guild’s annual show, including acrylic and oil paintings, ink sketches, photographs and three-dimensional pieces.

‘Talented artists’

Wetumpka Mayor Jerry Willis and a handful of local citizens gathered at Wetumpka City Hall Feb. 13 for a public hearing regarding development grants, particularly for the airport, medical facility and damaged infrastructure. Horton Consulting’s Tiffany Horton said the city and Elmore County have expressed an interest in submitting applications for economic development and competitive grants. While the state doesn’t have a deadline for turning in grant applications, Horton said applications should be completed and submitted to the state by the end of the month in hopes the state will respond within approximately 30 days of the applications being submitted. Among the projects the city and county are looking at through grant funding are improvements to the local airport and medical facility, along with related upgrades to surrounding infrastructure. “Our current estimates are the airport project will cost between $400,000 and $500,000, while the medical facility will be around $350,000,” Horton said. Along with these grants, which require matching funds, Horton said emergency funds are available to the city and county for fixing damaged infrastructure.

Wetumpka Middle School Winning artists announced at art guild reception holds tornado relief food drive By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

Art lovers crowded the lobby of PrimeSouth Bank in Wetumpka Sunday afternoon for a special reception held as part of the annual art show put on by the Elmore County Art Guild. Not only did the reception give patrons the chance to enjoy all the show had to offer, but the art guild also announced its winners for this year’s show. “We have 129 pieces on display for this year’s show,” Shirley Esco with the art guild said. “That is the most we’ve had in 35 years.” In the category of two-dimensional art not under glass, Donna Pate was awarded first place, Toska Courborn took second and Deborah Garst

claimed third place. For two-dimensional under glass, Lyanne Peacock received top honors, followed by Steve Garst in second place and Kathy Atchinson in third. Teresa Wamble took home first and second place in the category of 3-D, sculpture and fiber art, while Stephen Cappelli claimed third. Libby Christensen was awarded both first and third place in photography and printmaking, while Mitford Fontaine received second place. Along with these awards, Rhonda Sims was presented with the President’s Award of Encouragement, a special award designed to get one of the artists who has not been as active lately going again. “You really see a lot of excitement from the artists when the winners are

announced, even if they receive just an honorable mention,” Esco said. While Esco said there was no real way to measure how many people had come through the show on Sunday, she still felt the day had been a huge success, doing an excellent job of showcasing all of the hard work local artists put into their creations. “(It was) packed,” she said. “We (loved) the turnout. We have a lot of artists and people who support the arts. Wetumpka and the surrounding areas have a lot of talented artists living here.” For those who may have missed Sunday’s reception, Esco said all of the artwork will remain on display at the lobby of PrimeSouth Bank until Friday.

Through the dedicated efforts of students at Wetumpka Middle School, more than 600 cans of food were collected to help in local tornado relief efforts. “Every homeroom class is collecting cans,” principal Tremeca Jackson said. “The student council holds events like this virtually every month.” Jackson described the student council as highly active in a variety of events, such as collecting fruit for area seniors, visiting Children’s Hospital in Birmingham and the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Girls Ranch in Camp Hill. Jackson said councilmembers often participate in food drives but engage in projects they feel can have the greatest benefit to those around them. “They are really in tune with current events,” Jackson said. “They talk about areas of focus for their projects, then they get out and spread the love.” The canned food drive began in late January and when it concluded on Feb. 15 Jackson said the student council advisor estimated 625 items had been collected. Jackson said she believes the food will go to the Elmore County Food Pantry. “This has definitely been successful,” Jackson said.

Wetumpka Elementary classroom receives book donation By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

Children in a firstgrade classroom at Wetumpka Elementary School can explore new literary worlds after it received a new set of children’s books as a gift from a pediatric facility in the River Region. Through the generosity of

Montgomery and Prattville Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, Jennifer Inman’s classroom was selected to be the recipient of the clinic’s annual gift. “I have a personal friend who works there,” Inman said. “When they had a meeting to determine where to give their money, my friend

“The Happy Lion” by Louise Fatio. As Inman tries to read at least one readaloud book to her children every day, she said having these new titles to enjoy with her students was a wonderful gift. So far, she said the class has read a couple of the new books. “I was happy to have new books for my kids to read,” Inman said. “The kids, though, it was like Christmas morning to them. They were so excited to see these new books in the room.”

spoke up for me.” When her classroom was selected for the gift, Inman said she was allowed to pick out the books she wanted and had to work within a $250 budget. With these funds, she purchased nearly 30 new books she described as being interactive read-aloud titles. Some of the books Inman selected included “Bear Has a Story to Tell” by Philip Stead, Yangsook Choi’s “The Name Jar,” “Crickwing” by Janell Cannon, Marie Bradby’s “More Than Anything Else” and

More than a dozen children came together at the Wetumpka Depot Players building Feb. 12 for an initial interest meeting regarding The Penguin Project, a group that promotes the positivity of theater to children with special needs. Project founder Dr. Andre Morgan, whose specialty is working with children with developmental disabilities, said he realized theater can help kids develop stronger social skills and communicate more effectively. This led him to create The Penguin Project in Peoria, Illinois, although it has since spread to 16 states with 31 groups in total. Of these, Wetumpka’s group is the first in Alabama. “I chose the name Penguin Project because penguins are a ‘disabled’ bird, since they can’t fly,” Morgan said. “However, they work together as a team to create a joyful experience.” While The Penguin Project puts on stage performances, Morgan said the ultimate goal is creating an atmosphere where all participants work together, develop their skills and evolve their relationships. Although Morgan works as a pediatrician in Peoria, he said he takes the time to visit with every group within the project to help them develop their infrastructure and grow into something truly special for everyone. Not only does the group focus on developing these skills among its “artists” (participating children with special needs), it also works to improve the skills of mentors, who are children who work with the “artists” during rehearsals and the show. “We needs ‘artists’ and mentors alike,” Morgan said. “The Penguin Project accepts children ages 10-21, though we can be flexible with this if needed.” During Tuesday night’s meeting, Morgan briefly explained what The Penguin Project is to the children and their parents before leading everyone in a few simple dances to show off the kind of activities group participants will be a part of. He also explained some of the rules of the program, including how the main goal is to have fun and bullying other participants will not be tolerated. Over the next few weeks, Morgan said the group will meet once a week and practice many of the skills participants need while on stage. Following this, the group will hold auditions where the “artists” will read lines in order to determine the cast of this year’s show, “Annie Jr.” According to one of the organization’s brochures, The Penguin Project has gained a great deal of recognition for its mission, including earning the National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award in 2017, the highest honor an after-school art-based youth development program can earn. Morgan said the Wetumpka group has just as much potential to be successful as other Penguin Project groups, although it depends on one key issue. “Every group has been outrageously successful,” Morgan said. “Can we get the participants we need? That’s the big question. Tonight is the beginning and I hope the interest carries over.”

THE GRAND CANYON

One of the greatest natural treasures in the United States is the Grand Canyon. It is the largest canyon in the Country measuring at 277 miles long and a mile deep. It is located in the Northern region of the State of Arizona. In February 1919, Grand Canyon National Park was formed to preserve the canyon. This year we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the park. Through the Grand Canyon runs the Colorado River which is responsible for creating the canyon. The sediment ¿OOHG ZDWHUV RI WKH ULYHU FXW WKURXJK WKH PDQ\ OD\HUV RI URFN RYHU D period of six billion years to create the canyon. Some rocks in the Grand Canyon are over four billion years old. The rich bold colors of the canyon are breathtaking. Mostly red rocks adorn the landscape within in the canyon, but you will also see layers of orange, gray, pink, and violet. The erosion that created the canyon began over six million years ago to create the expanse.

There are also ancient, manmade dwellings which show that people once called the area home. There are plants and wildlife that live in the canyon. Many people visit the Grand Canyon each year. You can view the canyon from several points, called rims. The canyon is split into North and South by the river. The North and South rims are operated by the National Park Service.

Wetumpka library offers tax prep assistance By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

Wetumpka-area residents who need assistance with their income tax returns this tax season can take advantage of some final appointment slots for a special program hosted by the Wetumpka Public Library. “We have done this regularly since 2001,” librarian Susan Hayes said. “We only have a handful of appointments available for the program this year.” The program, offered by the AARP and hosted at the library, gives residents, especially those who can’t afford a more traditional tax preparation service, the ability to compile a simple return at no cost. However, should those filing taxes through the program need to submit a more complex return, the program will recommend them to traditional preparation services. As a program offered by AARP, it is naturally geared toward people age 50 or older, although Hayes said people of any age are welcome to use the service. While appointments do not open until February, Hayes said residents who have taken advantage of the program in the past jump in as quickly as they can, as appointment slots go fast. Hayes said two volunteers are offering their services to the community every Wednesday and Friday. Appointment times begin at 8:30 a.m., with the final slot of the day beginning around 2:30 p.m. She believes a third volunteer may join the team in the near future. “If we do get a third volunteer, we will be able to offer more appointments to people,” Hayes said. One change to the program this year is the absence of longtime volunteer Loy Bell. Hayes said he began working with the program in 1997 and joined the team in tax preparation at the library when it resumed regularly offering the service in 2001. Hayes said Bell was given a plaque in 2017 to mark 20 years of dedication to the program. Overall, Hayes said the library is happy to offer this service to the community and wants to see more volunteer participation in the future. “We are always looking for more people to help with tax preparations,” Hayes said. For more information about the program, or to schedule an appointment for tax preparation, the library can be reached at 334-567-1308.

Daniel & McDaniel perform at Range 231N on Friday night as part of the WE2 Strong benefit concert, raising money for tornado relief in Wetumpka.

Concert raises more than $5K in tornado relief By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

Music lovers throughout the River Region came together Friday and Saturday night at Range 231N in Montgomery for the WE2 Strong Benefit Concert, organized by local musician Ella Langley to raise money for tornado relief efforts. “This was one of the first places I got my start and I wanted to give back to the community,” Langley said.

“I first thought of having musicians playing at Coaches Corner (in Wetumpka) but it morphed into this.” Before the first musicians took the stage Friday night, Langley said donations and ticket sales had already brought in more than $5,000 for relief efforts. Range 231N co-owner Ashley Martin said she was happy to support Langley’s efforts. “Ella’s like family and she’s really passionate,” Martin said. “This is something we definitely wanted to do. There was no having to

think about it. We were 100 percent ready to get behind her on this.” Friday and Saturday nights, guests enjoyed the music of a number of musical groups, including Daniel & McDaniel, who led off the show Friday night, BlackBerry Breeze, Langley and more. T-shirts were also sold to raise funds for the relief effort. “There have been so many people wanting to help out,” Langley said. Martin said, “She’s done a great job getting everything together. We were proud to partner

with her on this.” Despite a rainstorm Friday that affected attendance, Langley felt the event was successful in raising money to go through the Central Alabama Community Foundation to the Elmore County Disaster Relief Fund. “This has definitely been successful,” Langley said. Martin said, “We’re hoping for a great turnout. It’s really awesome to see the community coming together for an event like this. We’re more than happy to be a part of it.”

Wetumpka preparing for annual Mardi Gras festival By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

Downtown Wetumpka will come alive with revelry on March 2 as the city celebrates its seventh annual Mardi Gras festival and parade, held by The Order of CimarrĂłn and sponsored by Wind Creek Casino. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a private group that puts on the parade annually,â&#x20AC;? parade chair Jeff Royal said. Royal said despite recent tornado damage, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parade route did not have to change. As it has in the past, the parade will begin at First Baptist Church, cross the Bibb Graves Bridge before turning in front of Grumpy Dog and going to the Elmore County Courthouse, then turning again to get on South Main Street and continue all the way down to the employee parking lot at Wind Creek. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parade features Rea Cord from the Elmore County Humane Society as its grand marshal. Royal said the organization feels Cord is a good choice as she is the humane societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director, a member of the Rotary Club and an active member of the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done a lot in our commu-

nity,â&#x20AC;? Royal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided to honor her with this.â&#x20AC;? Royal said those interested can dress up their dogs and walk them in the parade, being referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pawdi Gras.â&#x20AC;? The annual Mardi Gras festival in Wetumpka has become one of the

biggest and most successful events of the year, with Royal estimating the celebration draws between 4,000 and 6,000 people. This year, the festival has more than 40 vendors listed to set up around Gold Star Park. There will be craft and food vendors, along with activities such as pony rides for

children. Other special guests during the celebration will include Montgomery Biscuits mascot Big Mo, Shriners from the Montgomery temple and motor vehicle groups from Montgomery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has become a really big thing for us,â&#x20AC;? Royal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have people coming from all over and we have a lot of local involvement during the celebration.â&#x20AC;? Royal said there will be between 40 and 60 floats, including a jazz band on the last float. He said some of the paradeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participants come from throughout the tri-county area, including some who will have taken part in other parades around the area earlier in the day before making their way to Wetumpka. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really excited for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s celebration,â&#x20AC;? Royal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the first community event held since the tornado.â&#x20AC;? The Wetumpka Mardi Gras festival begins at 9 a.m. on March 2 with the parade to follow at 1 p.m. Royal said donations for the humane society will be accepted.

BRINGING HOME THE GOLD

Edgewood claims state title with win over rivals By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Not many playoffs teams get to finish their seasons with a win but Edgewood did just that Friday night with a nice bonus. The Wildcats defeated Autauga for the third time this season, knocking off the Generals 38-21 at the Multiplex at Cramton Bowl in Montgomery to claim the school’s third state championship in boys basketball. “It’s a rivalry game and Autauga is a great team,” Edgewood coach Darryl Free said. “We knew this could happen coming into the tournament and beating a good team three times is hard. But we played a complete basketball game tonight and what a heck of a time to play one.” Edgewood came out with a level of energy See EDGEWOOD • Page B2

Edgewood’s boys basketball team celebrates winning the AISA state championship against Autauga on Friday.

Prior to this season, there were a lot of things Wetumpka’s wrestling program hadn’t done. It had never won sectionals before, but it accomplished that goal last weekend with a victory over McAdory and Benjamin Russell. It had never brought more than nine wrestlers to state, which it did this weekend to the AHSAA Class 6A Championships. It had never placed at state as a team, and this weekend it did with a secondplace team finish. But most importantly, it had never claimed three individuals gold medals in one weekend, and Saturday, the Indians did just that as Xander McWilliams See WRESTLING • Page B3

Wetumpka tops Valley, Benjamin Russell on Day 1 By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Not allowing an earned run all day didn’t translate into a pair of wins for Benjamin Russell’s baseball team on Opening Day. After blanking the Valley Rams, 2-0, in the opener Monday afternoon, the Wildcats faced off against Wetumpka and had the tables turned on them. Benjamin Russell made one bad mistake which allowed the Indians to prolong an inning that should’ve been over quickly. Wetumpka took full advantage, scoring five runs in the frame and going on to win a 5-1 victory. “They had the inning where they scored five runs, and they scored them after a two-out walk and then a two-out error,” Benjamin Russell coach Richy Brooks said. “That’s the thing we try to preach for us not to do. I hate for us to learn a hard lesson, but hopefully we can figure out that you don’t do that.” With two outs, Wetumpka’s Stephen King drew a walk and

was followed by Trey Jones, who reached on an error that would’ve gotten the Wildcats (1-1) out unscathed. But from there, the Indians ignited offensively. Seth Johnson got the Indians (2-0) on the scoreboard with a one-run single, and starting pitcher Mason Elmore helped his own cause by driving in two runs of his own with a single. Kyle Johnson and Jackson Ray kept up the momentum with runscoring hits to give Wetumpka a 5-0 lead before the Wildcats finally got out of the inning with a strikeout from Colby Riddle. “Hitting is contagious so when you have that big inning, nobody wants to let it down,” Wetumpka coach Michael Dismukes said. “Everybody wants to keep it rolling so the focus is probably at higher level at that point. That’s what happened, and we kept rolling. Our pitching and defense kept us going to get two wins (Monday).” The Indians had a similar outcome in their game prior with Valley, as a big inning allowed

them to overcome a two-run deficit and win 9-2. “One big inning in both games kinda broke the game open,” Dismukes said. “I thought we pitched it very well. We took some time hitting, but of course the pitching is going to be ahead of hitting early in the year. I thought our guys really battled at the plate and took advantage for some walks and a couple errors then we got some hits and the merry-go-round started.” Benjamin Russell’s offense didn’t have the same luck, as the Wildcats finished with just nine hits in the two games combined. Against Wetumpka, they left the bases loaded and stranded nine total runners. “I was very disappointed in our offense both games,” Brooks said. “We didn’t do a very good job at the plate. We had an opportunity to score more runs (in the first game) and didn’t. We also had an opportunity in this game (against Wetumpka) several times to either cut the deficit or early in the game take a lead, and we just didn’t do it.”

The Capital City Streaks hosted its annual high school classic last weekend at the Emory Folmar Soccer Complex at AUM. The event hosted 24 varsity teams, including squads from Wetumpka, Stanhope Elmore and Holtville. The Wetumpka boys team continued its unbeaten start to the season, drawing two matches and winning one during the tournament. The Indians missed out on an appearance in the championship after finishing tied on top of their group but having allowed one more goal than Alabama Christian. “I’m pleased with how we’re starting to gel during the games we’ve played,” Wetumpka boys coach Desmond Knight said. “We have to remind them this is the first time we’ve gotten to play an organized game with each other. We maximized with what we could do in this tournament.” Wetumpka recorded draws against ACA and See SOCCER • Page B2

Autauga did not match, allowing the Wildcats to put the game away early. Autauga did not score in the first quarter and Edgewood took a 16-0 lead after eight minutes of play. The Wildcats knocked down four 3-pointers in the opening frame, including three by JC Bush and one by Robert Stewart. However, it was the team’s performance on the defensive end of the court which helped build the momentum. “We knew we were going to come out and leave it all on the floor,” Free said. “We knew if we were going win this thing, it was going to be on the defensive end. In the first half, that was one of the best defensive performances I’ve ever seen in high school basketball.” For the rest of the game, Edgewood showed patience on offense and continued to shut down any of Autauga’s offensive threats. Ardarius Tolliver scored four points in the second quarter but no other General made it on the scoresheet in the first half. The Wildcats took a 23-4 lead into halftime but they knew a run from Autauga would be coming soon. The Generals erased a 17-point deficit in their semifinal game to make it to the championship game and came out firing in the third quarter. “We knew they would bring the energy in the second half but we knew the only way they could come back is if we freak out,” Stewart said. “I told our guys before the game that we are mentally stronger than them but we had to prove it.” Autauga used a 10-2 run to start the second half, cutting the lead to 11 points with 1:29 to go in the third quarter. However, the lead never dipped to single digits as the Wildcats responded with an 10-0 run over the next four minutes to put the game away. Edgewood set an AISA record for fewest points allowed in a state championship game. Defense was the team’s biggest strength throughout the season and it did not let up on the biggest stage of the year. “Holding them to four points in the half is something I never would have expected,” Free said. “We came into this game and said no matter what the scoreboard says, it’s 0-0 on every possession. Our guys bought into that. They never let up on the defensive end and that’s what won the game.” Bush and Stewart each scored 14 points in the win and were named to the all-tournament team. Stewart, who averaged 14.6 points across the three tournament games at the Multiplex, was named as the Most Valuable Player. The Wildcats had done preparation to face No. 1 Lakeside in the championship game but Autauga pulled off the upset in the semifinals to set up the rematch. The Generals were looking for revenge but Stewart said he knew Edgewood was not going to let it happen. “If we had played Lakeside, who is a good basketball team, but we would not have played this hard,” Stewart said. “But this is Autauga. Every person at this school knows the rivalry and I woke up this morning thinking we cannot let Autauga beat us.”

From 3-22 to state champs JC Bush leads Wildcats to victory in final game By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

JC Bush was becoming too familiar with the feeling of being on the losing end of the scoreboard. Edgewood won a total of just 11 games during his sophomore and junior seasons but Bush, now a senior, believed there was something bigger coming before his high school career ended. “Around this time last year, we got everyone together and I said, ‘At this time next year, we’re going to be in a state championship,’” Bush said. The Wildcats came through for Bush and found themselves on the biggest stage in AISA-AA basketball Friday night. And it did not take long for Bush to make an impact. After just 21 seconds, Bush knocked down his first 3-pointer of the tournament to give Edgewood a lead it would not give up the rest of the night. Three minutes later, he assisted on a 3-pointer from Robert Stewart to put the Wildcats up 8-0. Bush continued his tear at the end of the quarter, knocking down two 3-pointers in the final 48 seconds to give Edgewood a 16-0 lead after one quarter. And he got to do all of it in front of the rival student section from Autauga. “That put the cherry on top of everything,” Bush said. “I was just shooting and knew it was going in. It felt amazing. To beat your rival in a state championship, you can’t ask for more than that.” After scoring just three points in the semifinal win over Lowndes, Bush led the Wildcats with 14 points in his final game in an Edgewood jersey. His performance in the championship game was enough for him to be named to the alltournament team. “It couldn’t happen to a better kid,” Edgewood coach Darryl Free said. “He’s had seasons with a little bit of wins and then for this to happen to him, I can’t even put into words how happy I am for him. He came out and hit his first big shots of the game. He saw the ball go in the net and played with confidence the rest of the day.” Edgewood knocked off Autauga 38-21 to earn its third basketball

state championship in school history. The Wildcats finished the season 22-5, tripling the number of wins for Bush during his high school career. “This is unbelievable,” Bush said during the celebration after the game. “I’ll never be able to experience something like this again and I don’t think any of teammates will either. Throughout this whole journey, it’s been a great ride. I’m thankful for everyone that has been a part of it.” Stewart, who grew up with Bush, was named as the tournament MVP after averaging 14.6 points per game. However, after the game, Stewart was more focused on his friend and sending him off the right way. “JC has been my best friend since we were like five,” Stewart said. “We played (YMCA) basketball together and he got me to Edgewood. After the game, you could see how much it means to him. So, when I’m on the floor, I’m not playing for myself. I’m playing for JC.” Bush is one of three seniors on

Edgewood’s roster but is the only one who has been in the starting lineup all season. The Wildcats expect to continue to be a force but Free said there was not enough words to express what the program owed to Bush and his classmates. “As a coach, you always say the hard work pays off,” Free said. “But in reality, you just hope it pays off because sometimes it doesn’t and you fall short. These guys have bought in to learning how to play the game. They showed up every day, getting better every day and it has culminated in winning a state championship for our seniors.” Bush said the feeling of winning a state championship was better than he could have imagined but he always expected the hard work to pay off down the road. “When coach Free took over this program, he sat us down in the classroom and told us where we were and where we needed to be,” Bush said. “We reached that today. We bought in and worked our tails off to be on top right now.”

Stanhope falls short in sub-regionals By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Everyone’s season has to come to an end at some point but knowing that did not make things any easier for the Stanhope basketball teams last week. The boys team played its final game of the year in Tuscaloosa, falling to Paul Bryant 56-53 in the

AHSAA Class 6A sub-regional, just four days after its one-point loss in the area championship game in Selma. “It definitely made it worse in the moment, knowing we were so close,” Stanhope boys coach Terry Hardy said. “I felt bad for the kids because of all the hard work they put in. But overall, because of the

Soccer Marbury but still needed a win in its final game against Elmore County. Arthur Davis scored two first half goals and the Indians hung out for a 2-1 win but it was not enough to advance to the title game. The Wetumpka girls team finished fourth in its group but came away without a loss in three matches. Ellen Anne Singleton scored in the opener Thursday night to give the Indians a 1-1 draw against Brewbaker Tech. Singleton scored again in the second match, along with Sophia Rawls, to earn another draw against West Point. Wetumpka finished the tournament with a 0-0 draw against Stanhope Elmore. Stanhope needed a win in the final game to advance to the championship but fell victim of a goal differential tiebreaker. Mustangs girls coach Dawn Kelly was pleased with her team’s performance but felt they deserved better results. “We dominated the games we played but we couldn’t finish,” Kelly said. “We look really good right now and we’re playing well. We just need to work more on our finishing.” The Mustangs could not recover after losing their opener to Brew Tech. Stanhope bounced back with a 5-2 win over West Point behind five goals from Vicki Cortes but it was not enough to get the Mustangs to the championship. “Last year was such a rebuilding year for us but we’re ready to win,” Kelly said. “The girls are motivated.

way they competed, you can live with that. I guess the consolation is knowing the program is heading in the right direction.” The Mustangs faced several ups and downs throughout the season and finished the year with a 16-13 overall record. Stanhope doubled its win total from 2018, including See HOOPS • Page B3

The Holtville girls soccer team grabbed one win at the Capital of Dreams Tournament at AUM last weekend.

They want to win.” Kelly said it was easy to find positives despite the disappointing results. The Mustangs are now 2-1-2 on the season. “We just have to get the ball in the net,” Kelly said. “We spent most of the time with the ball. Our center midfielders did some great things with the ball. Our defense showed the ability to pass the ball. Our biggest strength was the ball control.”

The Holtville boys team was placed into the top division after last year’s strong season but the Bulldogs could not make an impact. Holtville lost all three of its games, scoring only two goals and falling to 0-0-3 this season. The Holtville girls team won its first game of the season Friday night with a 4-0 victory against Elmore County. The Bulldogs followed it up with a 0-0 draw against Marbury but fell short of the championship match.

Stanhope Elmore did not have the easiest draw when it came to season openers Monday night. The Mustangs dropped both games of a doubleheader to Oak Mountain, losing by the 10-run mercy rule in each game. “First of all, that’s a very good team,” Stanhope coach Wes Dunsieth said. “We had to zone in on our approach in the field and at the plate but we didn’t to a good job of that tonight. We have to get back to work tomorrow to try to correct our flaws.” Oak Mountain has 18 seniors on its varsity roster, a group that has already won 85 games during its high school career. Stanhope entered the season with hopes of an improved team and while Dunsieth said it’s still a long season, he admitted the players See MUSTANGS • Page B3

Wrestling (106 pounds), Kyler Adams (120) and Mason Blackwell (170) were all crowned state champions. “We broke a lot of records this year, so it’s pretty awesome,” Wetumpka coach David Crunkilton said. “We did fall a little short of first (in the team standings), but I still wouldn’t trade it for anything because these guys battled hard. All props to (winner) McAdory for doing what they did to win the trophy. That’s a great team. “But our guys wrestled hard too, and they just edged us. I’m super proud of our guys. We have fantastic coaches and we have fantastic wrestlers, and I’m just proud of them all.” McWilliams got things started for Wetumpka, as he set the tone early in his match against Pell City’s Blaze Isbell and set the tone for how things would go for the Indians the rest of the day. Right out of the gate, McWilliams scored a takedown and from there, he never looked back as he grabbed a 5-0 decision against Isbell for the win. “Every single match I go in, I know that when I get up on points that I’m not going to let that kid score anymore,” McWilliams said. “If the kid were to get a first takedown, I know, ‘All right, I get to have some more fun on bottom because nobody can hold me and I can score more points.’ But scoring that first takedown was amazing because I could feel him break. When I felt him break, that made me want to go harder.” In the second period, McWilliams started on bottom and finally got an escape

before he scored another two points with a takedown to set the final score. “It feels amazing,” a grinning McWilliams said just moments after winning the state championship. “I’ve been wrestling for 11 years and my dad has watched me take second at state twice and I wanted this so bad. I finally got it, and it means a lot to me that my dad can finally see all the work that he’s put in pay out.” Like McWilliams, Adams got his scoring going early in the 120-pound championship. Going toe-to-toe with Spanish

Fort’s Gabriel Warren, whom Adams has wrestled twice so far this season, Adams got a fast takedown but then was nailed with a locked hands penalty before the period’s end. After two periods, Adams led just 4-2 but a takedown and a Warren escape in the third made the final score 6-3. “It doesn’t even feel real,” Adams said. “It doesn’t even seem like it’s sunk in yet. I’ve just got so much adrenaline in me still. I just have to thank God and my parents, everything they’ve done for me, and my coaches and wrestling partners. It just feels

amazing. I was really nervous at the beginning, but now that I’ve done it, I feel like I’ve succeeded one of my goals in life.” Blackwell also had a rematch in his 170-pound championship. He met Benjamin Russell’s Hezekiah Hunter, who defeated Blackwell at last week’s sectionals, but this time was much different. Blackwell seemed prepared for Hunter’s quick feet and aggressive shots, and Blackwell oneupped him in an 8-1 decision. “I just knew I had to come out and be more aggressive,”

Mustangs

Hoops three wins over Wetumpka, two against Benjamin Russell and one against Tallassee. Hardy said he preached all season he wanted his players to be playing their best at the end of the season and he believes they did that. The Mustangs entered the postseason on a threegame winning streak and came close to extending their playoff run but could not find ways to finish. “The program is still in good shape,” Hardy said. “We fell short on some of our goals but from where we started to where we finished, I can be pleased with that. I’m still pretty satisfied with where we are as a team.” Stanhope will lose six seniors of this year’s team, including three starters. Trey Hardy and Jahsan Upshaw will leave the program after three years with the varsity team while the team’s leading scorer C.J. Wright graduates after his lone season as a Mustang. “They know what I expected from them,” Hardy said. “The security and confidence they played with showed that. Having kids that they know where to be and what to do is all you can ask for as a coach.” The Mustangs will hope to build off this year’s success as they set higher standards for the program. Sophomore starters Blake Durham and Teddy Harris will be back next season and will be a key part of Stanhope’s push for a regional appearance. The Stanhope girls basketball team also saw its season come to an end during the sub-regional round. The Lady Mustangs ran into a wall in Tuscaloosa last Monday, losing to Hillcrest 75-19. The Patriots have won 11 games in a

needed a wakeup call. “We came in with a lot of confidence today and hoping we could play our game,” Dunsieth said. “It didn’t go the way we wanted to so hopefully it can serve as a wakeup call. We’re not where we need to be.” Stanhope made five errors in the opening game, allowing Oak Mountain to take a 14-0 lead after just three innings of play. The Mustangs only pulled one run back before losing 15-1 in the shortened five-inning game. “We had to make a couple of adjustments right before the game because of some injuries and a couple of guys with sickness,” Dunsieth said. “The guy who was at shortstop had not been there a lot lately. That stuff happens, especially when you’re thrown into the fire on the first day.” Nate Hodge and Sully Stevens were the only two batters to record a hit. Chase Eddings scored the team’s only run after reaching on a fielder’s choice and scoring on a wild pitch. “Pitching wasn’t terrible tonight,” Dunsieth said. “We just didn’t make the plays behind them. The biggest positive is just to see them in action.” Stanhope continued to struggle at the plate in game two and faced one of the top pitchers in the state. Ole Miss commit Jackson Kimbrell struck out 14 Mustang hitters while pitching five no-hit innings. “Our approach was terrible at the plate,” Dunsieth said. “It looked like,

Blackwell said. “I had to shoot first. I told my coach I was going to score first and I was going to score last, and I was never going to let up.” Blackwell had a couple of extra motivations for winning as well and, like McWilliams and Adams, couldn’t stop grinning after earning the title. “I’ve been having to duck in my corner all weekend,” Blackwell said. “My cousin passed away, and I wanted to win this for him. Then when (my brother) Cole went down (with a concussion that put him out of the state tournament), I knew I had to get this done.”

continued from Page B2 ‘We know how this is going to end so let’s get it over with.’ We have to get back and get a better mentality at the plate.” Stanhope’s Nate Hodge was the only baserunner as the Mustangs fell 12-0 in Game 2. Stevens and Cody Freeman each pitched scoreless innings of relief for the Mustangs in the second game. Dunsieth said he still found positives from the two losses, despite being outscored by 26 runs across 10 innings. The Mustangs played more players than they expected to and got young players early experience this season, including eighth-grader Collin Woodham. “The biggest thing I liked was seeing our eighth-grade first baseman going up there hacking on the first pitch on an Ole Miss commit,” Dunsieth said. “That didn’t bother him at all and I liked that. Our young guys weren’t afraid at all.” Stanhope has a few days to shake off the loss but Dunsieth said he wants his team to think about to see out what went wrong and how they can improve. The Mustangs are back in action Friday night at Benjamin Russell. “You see them now, they’re a little dejected,” Dunsieth said. “But I think tomorrow, once they have had a chance to think about it and sleep on it, they’ll see what the downfalls are. We have to be able to get back up for the next game.”

row and are one of the final eight teams remaining in the state playoffs. Stanhope finished its season with an 11-16 record but surpassed its expectations after winning just three games in each of the last two seasons. Prior to the area championship game loss to Selma, the Mustangs won five of seven games, including two wins over Wetumpka. The Mustangs expect to return most of their core for next season but will have to replace a key part of their offense and defense. Alisson Evans, who led the team in points, rebounds and blocks, finished her high school career last week, along with three other seniors.

County watching for flooding potential By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

Donald Campbell / The Herald

Above: From left, Rachel Rook, Wells Hutsler and Austin McDowell speak on their respective topics to the Wetumpka Rotary Club on Feb. 12 as part of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preliminary essay contest. Below: Despite not making it to the finals of the Wetumpka Rotary Club essay contest, Rook was awarded a scholarship through the club for participating in the contest.

Rotary club holds preliminary essay contest By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

Three Wetumpka High School students showed off their speaking abilities and opinions on key issues in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world Feb. 12 during the weekly meeting of the Wetumpka Rotary Club. During Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition, the three students each presented a six- to eight-minute long speech on a topic of their choosing, taking one side of the argument and researching facts to support their stance. Leading off was Rachel Rook, who tackled the topic of teachers carrying guns while on school grounds. After saying she did not support it, Rook presented facts she found during her research, including how a majority of teachers polled in a national survey feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an effective solution to confront active shooters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This solution is costly for school districts and there are better alternatives,â&#x20AC;? Rook said. After factoring in the

costs of purchasing enough firearms for all teachers at Wetumpka High School, providing teachers with adequate training, cleaning supplies, ammunition and a safe place to store the weapons, â&#x20AC;&#x153;this would cost Wetumpka High School $37,000 per year,â&#x20AC;? Rook said. Instead of pursuing this course, Rook recommended implementation of stricter gun laws and additional resources to schools, such as resource officers. Wells Hutsler spoke on the issue of fake news and the effects it has. Covering both more traditional

media outlets and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;new mediaâ&#x20AC;? (such as social media), Hutsler pointed to the example of an article claiming vaccines cause autism in children which has been repeatedly debunked but continues to be used by the anti-vax movement. To combat the problem fake news causes, Hutsler suggested creating governing boards over media outlets, similar to the bar association for lawyers, while also encouraging legislators to look at stronger anti-trust laws. Austin McDowell argued gender identity

should be included in antidiscrimination legislation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come so far but we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come far enough,â&#x20AC;? McDowell said. To back up his stance, McDowell cited how transgender individuals can be denied job opportunities which can lead to those individuals being unable to afford housing and proper healthcare. He also listed statistics showing how transgender people are far more likely to commit suicide than a cisgender individual. A panel of judges selected Hutsler and McDowell to advance to the finals at a club meeting Feb. 26. Rook was presented a scholarship from the Rotary Club for taking part in the competition. Rotary Club officials said the competition usually features three students from Wetumpka High School and three from Edgewood Academy, although circumstances kept the three Edgewood students from participating this year.

With heavy rain in the forecast for central Alabama over the next several days, Elmore County officials are keeping a close eye on potential flooding along the Coosa and Tallapoosa rivers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are staying in close contact with the National Weather Service,â&#x20AC;? Elmore County EMA director Keith Barnett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have also been monitoring their advanced hydrologic prediction service website.â&#x20AC;? Using this website, Barnett said he is able to see the current gauges on rivers and lakes throughout the area, giving him plenty of information to work with. As the rain settles in over the next few days, Barnett said he is staying in touch with all community partners, making sure plans are properly coordinated and ready to go in case of emergency. However, any actions taken will all revolve around where the storm stalls out and the amount of rain that falls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The current forecast is for the majority of rain to go north of us,â&#x20AC;? Barnett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it does, potential river flooding will be a key concern. If the storm stalls over our direct area, we will not only have to worry about river flooding, but potential flash flooding as well.â&#x20AC;? As of late Tuesday morning, Barnett said the National Weather Service has not put Elmore County under any type of watch or warning with regards to flooding on the Coosa or Tallapoosa rivers, although he said a handful of rivers, including the Tombigbee, currently are. Barnett said the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan is updated every year. County officials will also be prepared to make adjustments to the situation as needed.
