Hundreds of people are expected to participate in the 2019 Martin Luther King Jr. memorial service and march.
Keeping the dream alive Local Martin Luther King Jr. celebration set for Jan. 21 By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
T
he Elmore County AfricanAmerican Heritage Association is planning its annual memorial service and march in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. on Jan. 21. According to the association’s board of directors chair Winfred Wise, the memorial service for King will start at 9 a.m. at Rodgers Chapel AME Zion Church. Wise said the MLK Jr. Day events bear historical significance for many locals because of Wetumpka’s close proximity to Montgomery, where the Civil Rights Movement began. Additionally, Wise said King hid in Elmore
County for a brief period of time after receiving death threats. Wise said the service will feature a tribute from the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, of which King was a member. King was selected to posthumously serve as the service’s keynote speaker. “Instead of going out and finding a speaker, we decided to invite Dr. King himself. We have a video of his last speech,” Wise said. “It will give a sense of the moment. It’s good to hear his voice because he’s been gone for so long. We wanted to hear his voice on this day.” Martin Luther King Holiday committee chair Feleisa Butler Lovejoy said this is the first year the service has recognized winners of an essay See MLK • Page A2
The Wetumpka City Council declared an emergency situation on Hill Street to conduct storm drain repairs and resolve issues caused by storm water during a special-called council meeting Friday afternoon. “There was a unanimous vote to move forward (to declare an emergency situation and approve repairs),” Mayor Jerry Willis said following the meeting. “The council understands this has to be done.” At the meeting, the council approved both a resolution to declare an emergency and a motion to move forward on the project, allowing the city to work toward avoiding a cave-in on the roadway behind businesses on Company Street. The council approved working within a budget of $114,500, although everyone expressed the hope repairs would be less expensive than estimated. With cracks in the road beginning to appear, city officials agreed to act quickly to avoid a cave-in. Only vehicles traveling on the Hill Street alleyway will be affected by the work.
WPD sees high crime clearance rate for 2018 By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
The Wetumpka Police Department’s clearance rate for crimes it handled in 2018 is nearly triple the statewide average, according to a recent report sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. According to Cpl. Sean Blackburn, the WPD received 15,708 calls for service and worked 727 crimes in 2018. Of those crimes, 553 were solved, yielding an overall clearance rate of 76 percent. The statewide average is 24 percent.

Paranormal investigations resume By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
After a months-long hiatus, the monthly paranormal investigations held at the Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce building on East Commerce Street will resume in 2019. Chamber executive director Gerry Purcell said the building is widely regarded as the most haunted location in Wetumpka.
According to Chamber associate director and River Region Paranormal member Jamie Young, the investigations last about five hours and involve the use of different types of ghost-hunting equipment. “During the first bit, we learn the history of the building and get to know some of the folks and their stories of what they’ve had go on in their lives,” Young said. “Then we talk about the See PARANORMAL • Page A2

equipment and we take them on a tour of different sections of the building. We have flashlights that will turn on by themselves from the off position. We have digital recorders and a lot of different audio and video equipment set up to be able to monitor responses and motion.” Initially, Young said the building the chamber is in started out in the 1800s as the Bank of Wetumpka. While Young believes investigations have picked up on many ghosts over time, she said the building’s most frequent ghostly visitors are the bank president and his daughter. “We don’t understand why she’s here but we’ve had lots of toys set up on the third floor that she will move and play with,” Young said. If visitors decide they want to explore more places around Wetumpka, Young said they have the option of holding investigations in the old Lancaster Hotel and the Elmore County Museum, both located downtown. Young said they began hosting monthly sessions in early 2017 but stopped for a while after she faced health problems last spring. One investigation was held in September and investigations were held alongside the annual Haunted History Tours. Young said spots for the first investigation on Jan. 12 filled up quickly but investigations will be held every second Saturday of each month. “We’re trying to limit it to 10 people because we seem to find that the smaller groups have a lot more activity,” Young said. Young said the investigations have amassed a small following but attract new people each time. “There have been some folks that have returned from doing it before. They really enjoy the whole experience of being able to talk to the spirits here,” Young said. “There are also a lot of new folks that have something going on in their own home and they want to see how the actual experience goes before they enlist any help.” Often, Young said she sees visitors begin the evening as skeptics and finish as believers in the paranormal. “There has been everything from actual voices that people have heard right next to them or people have been brushed up against,” Young said. Purcell said the investigations are a supplement to the Haunted History Tours and offer a more in-depth look at local history and lore. When the chamber has hosted investigations and tours, Purcell said people from out of state have participated. “We want to be a tourist destination for this kind of activity. We have been deemed as one of the most haunted small towns in the state of Alabama,” Purcell said. “We had five or six states represented last time. I’m not saying that people were there for that exact reason but the word is getting out.” In 2019, Young said the cost of the investigations will cover dinner and snacks, and new equipment will be used.

contest and a poster contest. “To me, the most important part was that we involved the kids. They had to do a lot of research on (King),” Lovejoy said. “It’s different than just hearing about him in school.” Holtville High School student Lamonica Smith, who received a $100 prize, will read her essay about King’s contributions. Poster contest winner Da Kaden Chapman, who attends Wetumpka Elementary School, will also display his work. Immediately following the service, the march will begin at South Opothleohola and West Bridge streets. Marchers will turn onto the Bibb Graves Bridge, then march on Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Highway and Lancaster Street and arrive at the Martin Luther King Jr. MultiCultural Complex. Wise is hopeful hundreds of people will participate. “I’m hoping we get at least 200 to 300 people,” Wise said. “I’m not sure if we can hold that many people in the church but we’d rather have too many than too little.” “We’re very excited because every year it gets bigger and better,” Lovejoy added. For many in the Wetumpka area, Lovejoy said the march and service have been a valued tradition for decades. “It’s important that we keep this going,” Lovejoy said. “Some of the people who started the march are deceased and we want to carry on their legacy.”
Library hosting state historian By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
The Wetumpka Public Library is inviting locals to meet a wellknown Alabama historian on Jan. 24. According to library director Susan Hayes, Jim Phillips will begin his presentation at 6 p.m. with a video he produced and narrated about early settlers in the state. Phillips said the video portrays “amazing places and lost antebellum sites in Alabama, with a focus on antebellum ghost towns, lost and found antebellum treasures, antebellum river and stagecoach travel, the early 1800s patent medicines, etc.” Additionally, Phillips is expected to bring his “table museum,” which features small artifacts from the early 1800s. “I bring with me a table museum of antebellum bottles, coins, maps and drawings,” Phillips said. “Everyone is invited to touch and examine the artifacts.” Phillips said he anticipates his visit to the library will last about two hours. “The talk is one hour in length and I like to reserve an hour after the talk for people to visit with
me,” Phillips said. While the video is geared toward audiences from across the state, Hayes said she believes Phillips takes the time to research the places he visits beforehand. Hayes said Phillips’ presentation will serve as a way for the library to celebrate the beginning of the final year of the state’s bicentennial celebration. “We’re excited that a January date worked out for him and us, so we can kick off the New Year,” Hayes said. “He is a known historian and he is taking the time to reformat his program with an emphasis on the Alabama bicentennial. People have been hearing a lot about the bicentennial lately.” Hayes said the library has additional information available on the bicentennial. Hayes thanked Friends of the Wetumpka Library, who agreed to fund Phillips’ presentation and make it free to the public. Phillips has spoken at more than 700 libraries and other locations throughout Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Tennessee. Phillips’ brother, naturalist Doug Phillips, is the producer of the Alabama Public Television series “Discovering Alabama.”

Blackburn credited the high clearance rates to the work of WPD officers combined with the support of the community. “We’re just fortunate enough to have a great working relationship with other agencies, local businesses and our citizens, who help out tremendously,” Blackburn said. “There is no way that we could have solved this many crimes without all of the community involvement.” In 2018, the murder of Selina Powell was the only homicide case worked by Wetumpka police. The case was listed as resolved when Powell’s boyfriend, Corrace Calloway, was arrested and charged with her murder. The statewide clearance rate for murder is 65 percent. A total of 10 sexual assaults or rapes were handled by the WPD
Dr. Gary Harrelson will begin seeing patients (ages 5 & older) on January 3, 2019 at Tallassee Family Care located at 115 Herren Hill Road, Tallassee, AL 36078. Dr. Harrelson graduated from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in 1981 and completed his Family Medicine Residency in 1984. Before relocating to Tallassee, he practiced in Auburn, AL, caring for patients from the tri-county area. With more than 37 years of Family Practice experience, Dr. Harrelson looks forward to serving our community and meeting the healthcare needs of your family.
in 2018 and all were marked as resolved. The statewide average is 42 percent. Three of six reported robberies handled by the WPD are considered resolved; the statewide average is 34 percent. The WPD solved all 11 reported aggravated assaults throughout the year; the statewide average is 40 percent. Of 31 reported burglaries handled by the WPD, 17 were solved for a clearance rate of 55 percent, more than triple the statewide average of 15 percent. In 2018, the WPD solved 178 out of 292 reported thefts, a clearance rate of 61 percent. Blackburn said most Wetumpka residents were affected by shoplifting or thefts from unsecured vehicles. In 2018, Blackburn said unlocked vehicles
were a factor in about 85 percent of reported breaking and entering cases. Blackburn encouraged residents to lock their vehicles when leaving them unattended and to never leave firearms, money, medication or any other valuable items in plain sight. “Years ago, you could leave your doors unlocked and you wouldn’t think twice about it,” Blackburn said. “Unfortunately, in the age we live in, criminals are everywhere and seek out crimes of opportunity.” For the majority of the year, Blackburn said the department’s investigative unit consisted of three officers who contributed to solving these crimes. “With all the cases we had per investigator, they were doing a tremendous job,” Blackburn said.

Registration open for youth theater program By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

As his last official act, outgoing Elmore County Probate Judge John Enslen, left, swears in Judge John Thornton as the new probate judge.
Thornton sworn in as probate judge By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
John Thornton was sworn into office Monday morning as Elmore County’s new probate judge. “I am grateful to Judge Thornton for allowing me to participate in his investiture today as my final official act as probate judge,” outgoing probate judge John Enslen said. “We can already call him Judge Thornton because he has served for 22 years as the city judge in Wetumpka.” Enslen mentioned how his predecessor, Jimmy Stubbs, who was also in attendance, helped make the probate judge’s office more efficient, going from typewriters to computers and using software to enter data instead of doing it manually. Enslen said he hoped he left enough in the well dug by Stubbs and other former probate judges for Thornton to drink from. After Thornton was elected, Enslen said the two worked together for a seamless transition. “He has really, truly helped me with this transition,” Thornton said.
“My goal is to keep the office running smoothly and efficiently.” Enslen added, “(Thornton) has six decades of experience with all that life throws at us, experiencing the highs of triumph and the depths of tragedy. He possesses all of the tools for the job.” Before swearing in Thornton, Enslen reminded him the people of Elmore County selected him to serve as probate judge. “I and others stand at your disposal and will cheerfully lend our assistance when requested,” Enslen said. “You have our very best wishes for a most successful administration.” Thornton’s first act as the new probate judge was presiding over the swearing in of Brad Linville to another term as the Elmore County coroner. “It felt good, taking over behind these two gentlemen,” Thornton said after the ceremony concluded. “I am very comfortable turning the job over to a highly qualified attorney like John Thornton,” Enslen said after the ceremony. “I enjoyed immensely working with him these past 2½ months.”
The Wetumpka Depot Players are extending an invitation to kids between the ages of 8 and 17 who are interested in learning more about theater. Depot Players executive director Kristy Meanor said registration for the theater’s Youth Actors Academy recently opened and will remain open until classes start on Feb. 4. Meanor said this is the second year the theater has hosted the youth academy. “Our youth academy is relatively new to us. We’ve always done children’s programs during the summer and at Christmas but this is the second year that we’ve offered a formal, structured class,” she said. “We saw such a need in the community for an organized effort. Parents were asking if there was anything their child could do to study theater and learn about the craft.” Because the Youth Actors Academy was so successful the first year, Meanor said the Depot Players felt the need to continue it. “We had lots of good feedback from parents telling us about how their kids had blossomed in maturity and how their self-confidence had increased. We knew that we were hitting on something successful,” Meanor said. “Plus, I sit here in my office and I listen to the laughter and I know they’re having a great time. While they’re having a great time, they’re learning, too.” Meanor said the classes are designed as an introduction to theater, including character building, improvisation and stage movement. The classes will culminate with a showcase performance by students. “They take stories and learn to put them onstage,” Meanor said. “All of the classes have a classroom showcase at the end of the program and it all builds up to that. It’s not an actual show but it’s a showcase.” Additionally, Meanor said the academy’s Thursday classes will put

together a play centered on Alabama history and travel to different schools in the area in March. Classes will be instructed by Chris Kelly, whom Meanor described as a local staple in the theater scene. “He is a wonderful educator and he’s taken the lead on some of our educational programs here,” Meanor said. “He just brings a great energy and vibe to the class. The kids just love him.” For many students, Meanor said she hopes the Youth Actors Academy will attract young actors and backstage crew members to the Depot. “We know that we have to build and grow our own talent,” Meanor said. “If we don’t start young, then we miss that opportunity. We’re just excited about our little actors growing up and learning to do stuff with us.”

National headlines strain credibility F
riday, Jan. 11, the New York Times headline: “F.B.I. Opened Inquiry Into Whether Trump Was Secretly Working on Behalf of Russia.” Yes, America’s presumed leading newspaper, the one self-described as “Printing all the news that’s fit to print,” asked whether the president of the United States of America is a Russian spy. Attributing this news “to former law enforcement officials and others familiar with the investigation,” the article stated, “Agents also sought to determine whether Mr. Trump was knowingly working for Russia...” Needless to say, the showdown, the shutdown and the wall all fell “below the fold” of news media immediately. Sunday morning news programs led with the Russian agent story wall-to-wall as talking heads speculated whether President Trump is a Russian spy. Full disclosure: I’ve read thrillers, spy books and mysteries for decades but do not remember any work of fiction ever saying the president was a Russian spy. When presidents have been mentioned, they’ve generally been characterized as heroes or incompetent politicos. This latest attack on Trump from the progressive left has simultaneously exceeded reason and fiction. The old and cold Russian collusion story has made an intergalactic leap from political campaign staff and acquaintances secretly meeting with
DANIEL GARDNER Columnist
spies to steal the election for president to the president himself being a Russian spy. It’s not like Trump sold 20 percent of America’s uranium to Russia or Russia paid his spouse $500,000 for a speech and private meetings with government officials or paid thousands of dollars to a former foreign agent and Russian operatives for “salacious” information used to get a FISA warrant to wiretap the opposing campaign. The progressive left media quickly dismissed those and many other intriguing acts as “nothing to see here.” In the meantime, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Eliot Engel (D-NY) said he will shut down one of the committee’s subcommittees on terrorism and create a subcommittee to investigate Trump. House oversight committee chair Elijah Cummings (D-MD) asked Trump’s former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, to testify publicly next month. So, Cohen who has been convicted of lying to congress and who will serve prison time for this felony will, in his words, “give a full and credible account of the events which have transpired.” Not to be outdone by his Democratic colleagues, House
intelligence committee chair Adam Schiff (D-CA) said his committee will investigate Trump and allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Obviously, from the Democrats and progressive media’s point of view, Trump’s secret life as a Russian spy far supersedes any congressional business dealing with a government shutdown, immigration, border security, the opioid epidemic or law enforcement officers being slain by illegal aliens. Coincidently, Trump’s bringing border law enforcement agents, officers and leaders to the White House to address threats they face daily and solutions they have requested for years to help them do their jobs of securing our borders was woefully underreported. Who knew those charged with securing our borders had any opinions about barriers and other means of stopping all manner of illegal activity? Meanwhile CNN’s Jim Acosta reported those steel barriers on the southern border get really hot in sunshine and nobody is trying to breach the border through steel barriers.

Letter to the Editor
Does Trump have the power to declare a national emergency and build the wall in defiance of Congress? Dear Editor, Our nation seems to be treading uncertain days. We have a president who campaigned and won promising to address the illegal immigrant issue on our Southern border. Yet, Congress is defying him — especially since the Democrats have now won control of the House. Trump has strongly indicated he is, in fact, building the wall — even if it means declaring a national emergency defying Congress! Several legal scholars and many of the left-leaning media are saying he does not have that power. Does he? This question has been bounced around since the 1950s. During the Korean Conflict, President Harry Truman attempted to seize the
steel industry to support the war. The U.S. Supreme Court said no. Then in 1976, Congress passed into law the National Emergencies Powers Act that granted sweeping powers to the president. This law specifically addresses an, “influx of aliens,” references uncontrolled flood of immigrants, criminal activity and demands upon law enforcement. Since its implementation, this act has been used roughly 30 times, with little or no Democratic objection. In 2007, the Congressional Research Service stated in a report to Congress this act grants undisputed powers to the president to seize property, seize transportation and communication, declare martial law and restrict travel. Under the emergency powers granted
to the president here, this even circumvents the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 that prohibited federal forces (military) from enforcing civilian law. So, media and some academia’s assertion Trump does not have Constitutional power to declare a national emergency and build the wall is uninformed, misdirected and just flat wrong.

Rawls recognized at ASWA Mr. Football Banquet By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
The Alabama Sports Writers Association held its annual Mr. Football Awards Banquet in Montgomery on Tuesday afternoon. Wetumpka junior Tyquan Rawls was named as one of the three finalists for the Class 6A Back of the Year. Pinson Valley’s Bo Nix won the award, beating out Rawls and Hueytown’s Roydell Williams. Nix was also named 2018 Mr. Football for the state of Alabama. “This was a good experience,” Rawls said. “I was nervous but Bo is a great athlete; he deserved this. I’m just going to shoot for it next year. I’m going to keep working and work harder than I did last offseason.”
Wetumpka had a finalist nominated for the award for the second consecutive season with Rawls following in the footsteps of JD Martin, who finished third in the Back of the Year voting and 12th in the Mr. Football last season. “It’s great for Tyquan and his family to get that kind of recognition,” Wetumpka coach Tim Perry said. “It’s also great for our program to have a See RAWLS • Page A7

Stanhope looks to build off rivalry win By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
The Stanhope Elmore girls basketball team had a full week to recover from its overtime loss to Wetumpka. The Lady Mustangs had lost nine of their last 10 games entering Saturday night’s game against another rival but this time, they had a much different outcome. See GIRLS • Page A8
Stanhope Elmore’s boys basketball team did not trail Saturday night’s game for the first three quarters but the Mustangs ran into offensive struggles in the final frame. Prattville held Stanhope to just 11 points in the fourth quarter and used a late run to put the Mustangs away in a 68-60 win at Stanhope. “It was an ugly game but we just didn’t play well tonight,” Stanhope coach Terry Hardy said. “We didn’t shoot the ball well tonight for whatever reason and we have some internal stuff we have to work on.” The Mustangs led by as many as 10 points in the first half and held a 49-43 lead with less than a minute to go in the third quarter. Prattville found a way to step up its defensive pressure and scored the final four points of the quarter, allowing just three points over the next 7:15 of the game. “I thought their

intensity really picked it up in the second half,” Hardy said. “A couple of turnovers and missed shots just turned the game and we couldn’t match their intensity.” Stanhope turned the ball over 10 times in the second half, twice as many as it had in the first two quarters. Three of the turnovers came from the second unit, which came in at the beginning of the
fourth quarter to give the starters a break after they played all of the third. With the starters out of the game, Prattville outscored Stanhope 8-2 which was just enough to swing the momentum. The Lions took their first lead of the game with 6:54 to go in fourth and did not give it up for the remainder of the game. “We were just trying See BOYS • Page A8
Bulldogs split results in return to the hardwood STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
Holtville’s boys basketball team returned from its winter break with its hottest offensive performance of the season. The Bulldogs knocked off Billingsley

go along with five assists. The Bulldogs resumed area play with a trip to Handley on Friday night. The Tigers dominated the game, defeating Holtville 83-49. Baker led the team with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Holtville is now 5-6 on the season and 0-2 in area play. The Bulldogs sit at the bottom of the standings in Class 4A Area 5 but can move up this week with back to back games against Elmore County and BTW on Thursday and Friday night.
In wrestling a competitor can go from prey to predator in a heartbeat. Just ask Nathan Waters. The Wetumpka 195-pounder spent most of his match against Stanhope Elmore Elijah Gordy counting the lights in the ceiling of the Mustang gym while fighting off different pinning attempts. Then opportunity struck. Waters turned the tide of the match with a cross face and secured the late pin en route to the Tribe’s 57-15 victory over the rival Mustangs. “It was exciting,” said Waters. “I stood up and he didn’t move, so I crossfaced him and put him on his back.” The victory capped off an undefeated day for the Indians, who won the Class 6A Region 2 Duals with wins against Stanhope, Park Crossing (76-6) and Carver Montgomery (80-0). Wetumpka oach David Crunklilton was excited over the Waters victory. “It was amazing,” he said. “There is nothing more exciting than seeing a wrestler down by a bunch of points come back and knowing where his body is and using that to his advantage. He sat back, threw the half and got the pin with like 20 seconds left in the match. It’s a huge game changer to go from being down 8-4 like he was to being in control and getting the pin.” Waters win signals how the tides have turned for Wetumpka wrestling this season. The Indians defeated all three of their quad match opponents last week and garnered momentum going into the regional duals. “We wrestled well,” Crunkilton said. “We’ve got a few guys that weren’t here due to injury. If we have them back they are going to help us out. But if not and we wrestled the way we wrestled tonight, I feel pretty confident.” While the Indians picked up the 42-point win, the matches were not exactly walks in the park. Ethan McCord and Tyler Anthony battled for three periods and a 2-0 score. McCord picked up the win for Stanhope Elmore. But. Wetumpka started grinding. Dawson Tadlock (132 pounds) pinned Jake Taunton; Kaleb Jones (138) pinned Carson Stone and Cole Blackwell (145) pinned Adrian Laskey. Stanhope’s Dylan Flynn (152) stopped the streak of Wetumpka wins by defeated Trent Blankenship 7-3 then teammate Jeremiah Daniel (160) pinned Sam Czepiel. “I was proud of the way we wrestled and we won the matches that we should have won,” Mustangs coach Hunter Adams said. “We are a young team, an inexperienced team and we’ve got to get better each match. We went out and competed against one of the top teams in 6A. This is the best I’ve seen Wetumpka and I expect them to make a run at the state championship.” At this point, the team score was 24-15 with Wetumpka on top. The rest of the meet belonged to the Indians as they went 6-1 over the Mustangs. See TRIBE • Page A7

WILDCATS FACE LOWNDES IN AREA OPENER Miscues doom Edgewood as losing streak continues By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Edgewood turned the ball over 29 times Friday night as it fell to Lowndes Academy 36-26 in the area opener. The Wildcats fell to 6-11 on the season and extended their season-long losing streak to five games. “We’re going to see pressure until we can show we can handle the pressure,” Edgewood coach Jay Adams said. “We have shooters but no one is going to sit there and let them shoot. The next step for us is trying to work on that. That’s all we work on in practice.” Kenzie Johnston knocked down a 3-pointer in the first quarter to put the Wildcats ahead 5-2 but the lead did not last long. Edgewood didn’t score for the remainder of the quarter and didn’t make another shot from beyond the arc in the first half. The Wildcats stayed within striking distance in the second quarter and tied the game at 13 with 2:59 to go in the half after a basket from senior Avery Roberts. Lowndes scored the final five points of the half to retake the lead and didn’t give it up for the rest of the night. “We did some things well,” Adams said. “Defensively, we only gave up 36 which is okay. But it’s like pulling teeth out when we talk about getting the ball in the basket.” The struggles on offense were contagious and even affected the leading

Weldon’s only 3-pointer Friday cut the lead to two points with 5:58 to go in the third quarter but the Wildcats went cold again. Edgewood did not make another field goal for the next 7:55 of the game,
allowing the Rebels to extend their lead to double digits. “We talk about getting the 3-pointer after getting the layups,” Adams said. “You’re not going to get 3-pointers until after you get to the free throw line. We don’t understand that at all right now. When we do, we’re going to get some more jump shots.” Johnston had the
only field goal for the remainder of the game for the Wildcats, cutting the Lowndes lead to eight points with just over six minutes to go in the game. Roberts added five free throws but it was not enough to overcome the team’s poor shooting and turnovers. Roberts led the team with 11 points and shot 6 See EDGEWOOD • Page A7
Edgewood outscored Lowndes Academy by 16 points in the second quarter and rode its defense to a 55-39 victory in its are opener Friday night. JC Bush led the offense with 13 points and four assists as the Wildcats improved to 13-4 on the season. “Any win in area play is nice to have,” Edgewood coach Darryl Free said. “Starting off 1-0 is a good momentum builder. We go into so many area games back to back to back, we need to ride this momentum wave.” Bush scored four points in the opening quarter as Edgewood jumped out to a 10-9 lead after eight minutes of play. The Wildcats never trailed in the first quarter but they took it to the next level in the following frame. Edgewood opened the second quarter with a 3-pointer from Robert Stewart off an assist from Brady Davidson.

Conference title games will save NFL Playoffs
O
ver the past two weeks, the NFL Playoffs have had several games decided by one score. In fact, five of the eight games played so far had a final margin of victory of eight points or less. CCALEB ALEB However, somehow the TURRENTINE excitement was taken out Sports Writer of the games with some lackluster performances and anti-climactic finishes. Only one game had a lead change in the fourth quarter, which ended with a double-doink field goal attempt and that was the most exciting finish we have seen so far. The one thing saving the playoffs so far is the lack of upsets there have been. The four best teams in the league remain and there is plenty to get excited about for Sunday’s matchups. The four teams remaining are led by arguably the four best coaches in the NFL. New England coach Bill Belichick has clearly already cemented a spot in the Hall of Fame as a five-time Super Bowl champion. New Orleans coach Sean Payton and Kansas City coach Andy Reid are sitting right in the middle of the debate of being in the Hall of Fame but winning this year’s Super Bowl could be the finishing touch on already impressive resumes. The Rams are led by Sean McVay, who just became the youngest NFL coach ever to win a playoff game, breaking a 50-year record held by John Madden. If the coaches do not grab your attention, the offenses certainly will. The four remaining teams were the four highest scoring teams in football this season. The star power on the offensive side of the ball is something we have not seen in a long time on Championship Sunday. Of course, Tom Brady has been there in each of the last 13 seasons and Drew Brees is very familiar with the setting but each team brings some new faces who can change any game. Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes is the frontrunner for the MVP award and has pulled off some of the most absurd plays of the season, including no-look passes which just shouldn’t happen in football. New England running back Sony Michel just had his best game of the season, scoring three first half touchdowns in the Patriots win over the Chargers.

Tigers go undefeated to win regionals Elmore County settles for 2nd at Region 1 Duals By GRIFFIN PRITCHARD For The Herald
The hometown Tallassee Tigers once again proved their mat prowess, finishing 7-0 at the Class 1A/5A Region 1 Duals this weekend and advancing to the round of 16 as wrestling teams across Alabama battled for a berth into the single-elimination round of the AHSAA’s team tournament. “A team state championship, this is something us coaches have been wanting and asking about for years,” Tallassee coach John Mask said. Tallassee advances to host another regional on Thursday and will go head-to-head with Pike Road. Elmore County, which finished 6-1 on the weekend and was the region runnerup, will also be in enemy territory facing St. James. From there the two teams will meet and the winner will advance to the Final Four in Birmingham on Jan. 25. “This is my 19th year and we’ve come a long way because the coaches in Alabama have wanted this (a team championship) for a long time,” Mask said. “There are 64 teams, so the See WRESTLING • Page A8

offensive weapons, including Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara who can gain 50 yards out of nothing on any given play. The Rams are led by rushing duo Todd Gurley and C.J. Anderson, who helped Los Angeles become the second NFL team since 2005 to rush for 250-plus yards in a playoff game. There will be plenty of speculation this week about which teams hold the edge in Sunday’s games. However, the best thing might be we already know how well these teams match up together. The Patriots hosted the Chiefs during Week 6 of the regular season and the two teams put on a show for one of the best games of the season. Kansas City erased a 15-point first half deficit and took a 33-30 lead in the fourth quarter with 8:38 left. The two teams combined for 20 points over the final 5:25 of the game and a 28-yard field goal by Stephen Gostkowski gave the Chiefs their first loss of the season. This week, Kansas City will be the home team and revenge may be on its mind but one thing is for sure: if the teams combine for 83 points again, we all win. The Rams and Saints also faced each other in the regular season when Los Angeles had to go on the road to one of the toughest atmospheres in the league. The Rams erased an 18-point deficit to tie the game in the fourth quarter before the Saints pulled away with 10 consecutive points to win 45-35. We may not see exact repeats Sunday but it will be good football and it will be fun for the fans. If you’re having withdrawals since the college season ended, this is a great way to get your football fix in. Caleb Turrentine is a sports writer for The Herald.
Rawls junior, two years in a row, be a finalist for that kind of award. That’s a compliment to him, his teammates and our football program.” Of the 48 total finalists recognized at Tuesday’s banquet, there were just 11 juniors. Rawls knew the significance of the opportunity and is already looking forward to making a return appearance after his senior season. “Knowing I’m a junior and being here with all these top athletes, it means a lot,” Rawls said. “It’s big for me to get picked for this. Just being here is a blessing. I know I’m going to come back harder next year and try to get it for my senior year.” Rawls said he got some advice from Martin on how to handle his
continued from Page A5 nerves during the event but Rawls admitted it was hard not to be nervous. Before the event, Perry said he believed Rawls deserved to win the award but he wanted the junior to stay in the moment. “I want him to relax and enjoy it,” Perry said. “I want him to enjoy the fruits of his labor as the expression goes. He’s the one that made the plays. He had a great cast around but he’s the one that made the plays. Anytime you’re nominated for an award like that, you hope you can win it.” Rawls finished with 1,778 rushing yards and scored 11 touchdowns on the ground. He averaged 9.1 yards per carry, which ranked second in Class 6A among players with at least 100 carries.
Rawls also completed 55.1 percent of his passes while throwing for 1,487 yards and 18 touchdowns. He led Wetumpka to 11 wins and its second consecutive state semifinal appearance. “We didn’t have time to research all the stats in the state,” Perry said. “We always felt he played well enough to be considered but to be selected as a finalist, that’s a great accomplishment.” Nix was the star of the night, receiving the biggest individual award for high school football in the state. He capped off his career with a second consecutive state championship and is now the AHSAA all-time leader in total offense with 12,497 yards and
total touchdowns with 161. Rawls finished just outside of the Super All-State which is used to award Mr. Football and given to the top 12 players regardless of classification. Despite coming away without any hardware, Rawls was grateful for the opportunity to be at the event and for the season he and his teammates had. “I just wanted to thank God first because without him, none of this would happen,” Rawls said. “I wanted to thank my mom for all the sacrifices she’s made for me and my brother for helping her. I wanted to thank coach Perry and the whole coaching staff along with my teammates for making it happen.”

She added four rebounds and two assists in the game. “Avery played her best game of the season so far,” Adams said. “She looked the most comfortable with the ball in her hands and a defender in front of her. We have to find a way to get her to the line. It’s good to see her get that kind of game because she’s been working toward it for a long time.” With area play in full swing, the Wildcats will need to find solutions on offense if they want to make some noise in the postseason. Adams said he wants his players to calm down with the ball and be patient for a good shot. “We talk about how basketball is not about seeing what’s happening but seeing what’s about to happen,” Adams said. “We aren’t at that point. We are talking about getting the ability to see what’s going to happen and we have to focus on the things we do well.”

to get the starters some rest,” Hardy said. “We started with the bench but it kind of backfired on me. They took the lead and got the momentum and it went downhill. We can’t play five the whole game though and their job is to come in and pick it up.” Stanhope’s starting lineup scored 50 of the team’s 60 points, led by a 17-point performance for Jahsan Upshaw. Trey Hardy scored all 12 of his points in the second half, keeping the Mustangs in the game. Prattville led by as many as 10 points but the Mustangs finally woke up and had one last fight in them. Trey Hardy hit a 3-pointer with 1:30 to go in the game to cut the lead to six and bring the home crowd back into the game. “He made some big shots for us in the third and he kept us in it,” coach Hardy said. “We were up at the end of the quarter and that was a big spark for us but we couldn’t carry it over and we couldn’t get it to rub off on anyone else.” Stanhope has to respond to the loss quickly with a big week following the defeat. The Mustangs played at Park Crossing on Monday night before turning around and hitting the road for an area game against Selma. The week will be capped off by another rivalry game as Stanhope travels to Wetumpka to try to complete the season sweep of the Indians on Saturday night. Hardy said the biggest concern with his team is its mentality. “Focus is the biggest thing for us,” Hardy said. “Anytime we’re out of a routine, it shows up on the court. We have to learn to stay focused.”

his team. He said he was disappointed in the effort late in the game and some of the decisions his players made. “At the end of the day, it’s about getting better,” Stokes said. “You can win by a lot and still get worse. We have to learn and I think we got a little better tonight, but we’re not there yet.” The Lady Mustangs have two area games this week with the return trip to Wetumpka on Saturday. The team knows it was important to end the losing skid but there is still room for improvement. “It was really good to get back into the win column,” Stokes said. “We had to capitalize on the small things. We’ve been harping on playing hard for four quarters. I want that to happen now going toward area play.”

of the weekend was a 39-36 victory over Beauregard. Emfinger, Bell, Haynes, Christian McCrary, Will Lackey, Gilson and Fischer Segrest picked up key wins over the Hornets. On the Elmore County side of things coach Jared Jones, who was Mask’s co-coach for many years, has the Panthers primed to make a run at their rivals. “I thought, overall, we wrested very well on Friday,” Jones said. “Our intensity was down a little on Saturday after losing to Tallassee.” Jacob Taunton led the Panthers with seven wins and was one of the weekend highlights according to Jones. “He’s our captain and had a great weekend,” Jones said. Tristen Thompson and Ben Strochein were also highlighted for their efforts finishing Saturday 4-0. A big boost to the Panthers lineup was the return of Stone Svencer from injury.

Kaleb Varner finished the first half with three steals, all leading to points for Edgewood. “He’s definitely a defensive weapon,” Free said. “We want his defense to create offense for us and we give him some freedom to do that. His athleticism allows him to take some gambles.” Varner finished the game with seven steals and was second on the team with 11 points, eight of which came in the second half. He added

Stanhope Elmore used a full-court press, finishing with 25 steals, and knocked off Prattville 61-38 to improve to 8-9 on the season. Alisson Evans finished with a game-high 16 points to go with 12 rebounds, four blocks and three assists. “We had a long journey on the losing track so to get back on the winning track is exciting for us,” Evans said. “Hopefully we can let it carry on through the rest of our games.” Stanhope’s pressure allowed it to jump out to a 7-0 lead, holding the Lions scoreless for the first 4:36 of the game. Prattville finally got some offense going but the Lady Mustangs held onto a seven-point lead after the first quarter. The defensive pressure stepped up a notch in the second quarter as Stanhope forced the Lions into 17 turnovers in the frame. Brooke Burkett knocked down a 3-pointer with 3:30 to go in the half to cap a 15-3 run to extend the league. Stanhope finished the quarter strong and took a 20-point lead into halftime. “We’ve got active hands,” Stanhope coach Kelvin Stokes said. “It could get us in trouble late, sticking our hands in there. But they’re really trying to be that ball hawk and they like it. They want to press. The pressure tonight really helped us.” Burkett, the team’s starting point guard, had to exit the game early in the second half with a nosebleed and could have been held out with Stanhope in control. However, Burkett returned in the fourth quarter, scoring five points to finish the night with 11 points. “Brooke doesn’t want to sit,” Stokes said. “She has a lot of fight in her.
Wrestling sport is growing and you have a lot of teams out here that are in their second and third year. And you have more kids getting involved and that’s great. You may have a kid that’s 126 pounds; he can’t play football but he can come out and wrestle and be a champion. I love it and there is a lot of enthusiasm about it.” En route to winning the regional, Tallassee defeated Dadeville, Beulah, Elmore County (the Panthers’ lone loss over the weekend), Holtville, Beauregard (a 39-36 battle), Reeltown and Prattville Christian. “Friday night for us was a tremendous night, we went 3-0 and the crowd was on fire,” Mask said. “There was a lot of energy and everybody was enthusiastic. On Saturday, it’s hard to get up for every match, we wrestled well and did what we needed to do to win every match. I’m very proud of our guys, they worked hard.” Despite having several individuals with strong performances, Mask was focused on only his praise for the team effort of his Tigers. “The whole team: different matches, different ones stepped up,” Mask said. “In a dual format, just not getting pinned can help your team win. You may lose the match, but not going to your back can help the team win. In seven matches, over the course of two days, we had different people step up.” With that said, multiple Tigers posted multiple individual wins leading to scores of 72-6 (over Dadeville), 68-11 (Holtville) and 66-17 (PCA).

Tallassee Thursday night to wrestle St. James in the single-elimination portion of the state’s team tournament. While Tallassee and Electic remain in the team title hunt, Holtville is now working toward sectional. Bulldogs coach Phillip Smart is still impressed with the way his squad wrestled as its defeated Reeltown, Dadeville and Beulah en route to a 3-4 finish despite having only seven of the 14 weight classes filled. Smart highlighted the efforts of Sam Jackson (heavyweight) and his pair of victories by pin over Taylor Atkisson (Elmore County) and Kevin Keel (Dadeville). According to Smart, those were his first two wins of the season. Slade Freeman at 152 finished 5-0. Colby Nelson (145) went 5-1 and Jabarious Jackson finished the competition 2-1. Despite how the team tournament plays out, all of the teams in two weeks will turn their attention toward sectionals and the individual state championship.

The Rebels called a timeout with 4:37 to go in the game after cutting their deficit to 11 points but baskets by Varner and Austin Patrick quickly extended the lead to put the game away. The Wildcats finished with 12 assists in the game and used balanced scoring throughout the night to earn a win. Jackson Welch was the third player to reach double figures, scoring 10 points, while three other players scored at least five points. “One of the things we focused on is sharing the ball and looking for the open guy,” Free said. “We had gotten away from that over the last couple of weeks. We have to take
what the defense is giving you and we did a good job of that tonight.” Free and the players spoke highly of the home atmosphere during the game. A packed student section helped fuel the second quarter and brought energy to the team on the court. “Winning our first area game feels really good,” Bush said. “It’s really important. The student section showed up tonight.” Edgewood will wrap up the regular season with four more area games over the next two weeks. The Wildcats dropped out of the ASWA rankings last week despite owning one of the best records in AISA and they look to make a statement with the remaining games on their schedule. “We play to a standard that we create,” Free said. “We have a lot of room to get better and we have to get better before the tournament. We know that so we’re going to keep working.”
Elmore County senior Garrett Moseley got wins in nine of his 10 matches last week to improve his record to 35-2 on the season. After going unbeaten in matches against Benjamin Russell, Dadeville, Beulah and Montgomery Catholic, Moseley helped the Panthers grab second place at the Class 1A-5A Region 1 Duals at Tallassee over the weekend. Moseley, who fluctuates between 195 and 220 pounds, is the Elmore County Player of the Week. The Panthers won five of their six matches as a team and Moseley was there leading the way. Moseley won five of his six matches and recorded three pins during the twoday event. His only loss came against Tallassee’s Andy Baker, who finished second at the state championships last season. “I think that motivates him more,” Jones said. “He gets more frustrated with the one loss than he is happy about the five wins he got.” In February 2018, Moseley wrapped up his junior wrestling season at the AHSAA State Championships in Huntsville. He fell two matches prior to the medal rounds and has been looking forward to returning to the stage one final time for a chance to walk away with a medal. “I want to finish in the top four,” Moseley said. “I want to get a medal, that’s definitely my goal. I’m still a couple of weeks away from where I want to be but I’m about to start some extra training to prepare for it.” Elmore County hired coach Jared Jones to take over the wrestling program prior to this season. While the program still has a way to go before reaching its goals, Jones knew he would be relying on Moseley and the senior class this season. The seniors have responded in a big way to start the 2019 season. Moseley has the best individual record on the
team after last weekend’s regional duals at Tallassee. Classmates Chayanne Sanchez and Jacob Taunton are both 28-4 this season. “They’re all having really good seasons so far,” Jones said. “Those guys are the team captains and have been leading by example this season.” Moseley leads the team with 23 pins this season and needs just seven more to surpass his total from last season. He finished in first place in the 195-pound weight class at the 2018 Barry Mask Invitational at Wetumpka, pinning all six of his opponents during tournament play. Moseley said he has learned more from his two losses this season than any of his victories. Both defeats came in the third period, which Moseley rarely finds himself in. Jones said most, if not all, Moseley’s victories this season have come in the first two periods. Moseley said he has started focusing on his stamina during his training. “It’s like that Gatorade commercial about how defeat fuels you,” Moseley said. “I’m just trying to make sure I stay hydrated all the time… Practices are kind of short but coach Jones keeps them tough on us.” Elmore County will return to Tallassee on Thursday night for a dual meet with Saint James for a chance to advance to the state quarterfinals. As the Panthers prepare for the next round of the postseason, training has stepped up. “We do a lot of running and a lot of live,” Moseley said. “It’s just a full-speed practice basically so it’s like a simulated match with you partner.” Moseley has high expectations for himself as an individual moving forward but with the team tournaments up first, Jones will be looking to the senior for his leadership. “We talked about a few things that I saw we didn’t do well during the regionals,” Jones said. “I expect (Moseley) to help me implement some of those things in practice and help all of our guys deal with those things.”

Inmate fatally stabbed Commission fills handful of board vacancies at Elmore prison By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
An inmate at the Staton Correctional Facility in Elmore is dead after he was stabbed during an incident on Jan. 7. John David Teague, 48, of Morgan County was the victim, according to Alabama Department of Corrections public information specialist Samantha Banks. Banks said Teague was sentenced for third-degree robbery in 2007 and had served about 12 years of his 21-year sentence at the time of his death. Banks said Teague was stabbed at around 3:30 a.m. and Teague transported to an offsite medical facility, where he was pronounced dead. As of Jan. 9, ADOC officials had not named or pressed charged against any suspects. Banks also said officials are unsure of the circumstances leading up to the incident. The incident is currently under investigation by the ADOC Investigation and Intelligence Division.
Submitted / The Herald
A Morgan County inmate serving a sentence for third-degree burglary was recently stabbed at Staton Correctional Facility in Elmore.
A number of vacancies on executive boards have been filled following actions taken by the Elmore County Commission at Monday night’s meeting. “It’s obviously important to have a qualified board,” commission chairman Troy Stubbs said. The commission appointed Eric Jones to the county EMS board, Deborah Holt to the Horseshoe Bend Regional Library Board and Desirae Lewis, Daniel Thompson and Earl Ryser to the Healthcare Authority Board. The commissioners said all the candidates for the Healthcare Authority Board were highly qualified to serve. “I am encouraged to see this list of candidates,” commissioner Bart Mercer said. Commissioner Mack Daugherty added, “I feel good about this list.” During the work session, the commission honored retiring highway department superintendent Lee Colley for his years of service to the county. County chief engineer and operations officer Richie Beyer said he hired Colley in 2003 to initially be part of bridge and project inspections for the county. However, Colley proved his worth and was promoted to department superintendent, a position he held for 15 years. Beyer listed many of the accomplishments achieved during Colley’s tenure in the department, including overseeing $75 million in road projects and $60 million in maintenance work.
“He’s definitely someone you want in your corner,” Beyer said. “We would be lucky to have someone like him again.” Following Beyer’s remarks, he presented Colley with a book documenting his service, as well as a flash drive full of photographs of him out on the job. “This was one of the greatest challenges I ever had,” Colley said. “I couldn’t have asked for a greater group of people to work with.” The commission approved the latest update to the personnel policies and procedures manual, a document Stubbs said needed updating. The commission thanked commissioner Earl Reeves for his diligence in getting the manual update prepared. Over the past 18 months, Stubbs said Reeves worked with multiple department heads on the matter. “I remember this was one of (Reeves’) priorities,” Daugherty said. “I want to thank him and everyone involved.” Reeves said, “I don’t want to take all of the credit for this.” In other action at the meeting, the commission: • Approved the minutes of the Dec. 10 meeting, as well as the memorandum of warrants for the period from Dec. 4 to Jan. 8, totaling $2,587,978.62. • Made a motion to approve suspending the rules of the commission to more expediently fill a vacancy on the Central Elmore Water and Sewer Authority Board created by the passing of a board member. • Approved a retail beer and a retail table wine liquor license
transfer application, both off premises only, from Jones Shell to Kwik Sack 2 on Highway 231 in Wetumpka. A public hearing was held during the work session. • Approved ratifying the Town of Elmore’s appointment of Christopher Sisson to the EMS Board. • Approved the consent docket, including the surplus and sale/ disposal of miscellaneous computers and electronics, a proposed plat for Coventry Plat 1 and a travel memo. • Approved authorizing the chairman and/or chief executive operating officer to execute a planned service agreement with Johnson Controls for jail boilers. “This is similar to the HVAC contracts we have in our public buildings,” Beyer said. • Scheduled a public hearing at the Feb. 25 commission meeting regarding a petition to vacate an unnamed road off Hummingbird Lane in District 1. • Heard Beyer present a brief year in review sheet, allowing the commissioners to see what the county accomplished in 2018. • Heard Mercer thank John Wilson for his service to the Elmore County Firefighters Association after choosing not to seek reelection as its president, and heard Daugherty offer his condolences to the family of Sgt. Wytashia Carter, the Birmingham police officer killed in the line of duty Sunday morning. The next meeting of the Elmore County Commission will be Monday, Jan. 28 at 5 p.m. in the courtroom of the Elmore County Courthouse.
Millbrook murder suspect claims self-defense By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
A Millbrook murder suspect is scheduled for a pre-trial hearing to determine if criminal proceedings will continue after claiming he killed a man in self-defense. Defense attorney Kenny James filed the request on behalf of Larry Terelle Turner, 27, who lists an address on Lucky Town Loop. Elmore County Circuit Court Judge Sibley G. Reynolds ruled the hearing will take place at 1:30
p.m. on Feb. 7, according to court documents. Turner was initially arrested by the Elmore County Sheriff’s Office and charged with the murder of Turner Millbrook resident Dallas Ferrell, 40, on June 9, 2018. According to a press release from the ECSO, deputies arrived on Luckytown Road in Elmore after receiving several 911 calls concerning a shooting in the area. At around 9 p.m.,
CALL THIS NEWSPAPER’S AD DEPARTMENT TO PLACE YOUR AD
they discovered Ferrell’s body lying in the street. It was later determined Ferrell died as the result of a gunshot wound to the upper torso. Police later apprehended Turner at a nearby residence. Because Turner claimed self-defense, James wrote in the motion that Turner is entitled to prove that claim in a pre-trial hearing, per the Code of Alabama. If Turner’s self-defense claim is verified by the
court, Turner’s charges will be dismissed. “A person who uses force, including deadly physical force, as justified and permitted … is immune from criminal prosecution and civil action for the use of such force unless the force was determined to be unlawful,” the Code of Alabama reads. Since Turner’s arrest, James has filed multiple requests for a bond reduction, all of which have been denied. Turner was indicted by an Elmore County
Grand Jury in October 2018 and elected to waive his arraignment later that month. Turner’s plea docket is also scheduled for 9 a.m. on Feb. 21.
As of Jan. 7, Turner remained in the Elmore County Jail on a $75,000 bond. Murder is a Class A felony. If convicted, Turner could be sentenced to life in prison.

hen the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.” — Matthew 19:22. A man recently told me about studying the P&L (profit and loss) statements of the business where he works to determine the profitability of two branches within the company. By analyzing these figures, he was able to learn some important things about the business. We expect businesses owners and executives to pay close attention to their own companies’ P&L statements. If the company has investors, you may be sure they want to know about them, too. If the company is publicly traded, what those P&L statements reveal may drive the price of shares up or down. If the company is big enough, news of its profitability (or lack of it) may

move the entire stock market up or down. As another year begins, it’s also a good time for inventory and analysis of our personal finances as well. Lots of resolutions are made as the result of taking an honest look at our financial or physical health. An SP&L (spiritual profit and loss) report should be quite informative in a similar and more important way. The goal of an honest look at our spiritual condition is neither prideful arrogance nor hopeless despair. Instead, we try to ask and answer questions such as, “Can I see any measurable progress in my faith and discipleship?” We should also be willing to ask, “What changes should I make to improve my spiritual life this year?” Although he is nowhere called so in Scripture, we know the character described in our text for
MIKE MCELROY Columnist today as “the rich young ruler.” That’s a composite from three accounts of Jesus’ encounter with him in Matthew, Mark and Luke. He had what most people are clamoring to gain or hold — he was rich, he was young and he was in a position of authority. But in spite of all he had, he stands as a tragic figure in the gospel accounts of Jesus’ life. His SP&L shows he is in grave danger of failing. Let’s take a closer look at his example to help us evaluate our own spiritual status at the beginning of this new year. Notice the young man did not lose everything when he chose to
reject Jesus’ invitation to be a disciple. Consider what he kept: He kept his riches, at least for the time being. He could go right on enjoying all he owned as long as he lived or as long as the riches lasted. He held onto the gnawing awareness that something was lacking in his life. The unsettled and unsatisfied emptiness that drove him to Jesus in the first place was still with him as he walked away from the one who offered him what he was missing. In a similar way, the young man was able to hold onto the unhappiness that originally prompted him to go to Jesus. He wasn’t happy when he came and he still had his misery and maybe even more of it when he left. But the rich young ruler did lose some things. Consider what he forfeited by making the decision to walk away from Jesus.

He passed on the offer of eternal life. No one has it apart from Jesus (John 14:6). He lost what would have given him true fulfillment. Genuine abundant life comes from living with Christ (John 10:10). He forfeited the opportunity to become one of Jesus’ disciples. Jesus invited him, saying, “Come, follow Me.” But the young man wanted to hold onto what he had more than he wanted to be with Jesus. As 2019 begins, I hope your SP&L tells a very different story from the rich young ruler’s report. I hope you are gaining the things he lost, and that you’re losing what he gained. (I am not against us owning things, I am against things owning us.) But if you or I expect to get different results than this young man, we must be willing to make some different choices.

The Legacy Of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was a civil rights activist from Atlanta, Georgia. He was born on January 15, 1929, and was a minister like his father. He became the Pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1953. Dr. King and his wife, Coretta Scott King, had four children. He began his non-violent, civil rights activism in the 1950’s. He led the Montgomery Bus Boycott which began when Mrs. Rosa Parks refused to give her bus seat to a white man. King emphasized the use of non-violent protest through the use of boycotts and sit-ins and through rallies and speeches. His most famous moment as a public speaker was the “I Have a Dreamâ€? speech made during the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. His words from that day have echoed through history and are still taught to children today. King was also well-known for his written works, such as the piece “Letters from Birmingham Jailâ€? written during an incarceration after his arrest at a non-violent protest. He helped bring about changes such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Dr. King won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, as well as the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the AmerLFDQ /LEHUWLHV 0HGDOOLRQ LQ IRU KLV HႇRUWV WR FUHDWH HTXDOLW\ DPRQJ DOO UDFHV 'U .LQJ ZDV DVVDVsinated by James Earl Ray on April 4, 1968, while organizing a local march in Memphis, Tennessee. 2Q -DQXDU\ WKH ÂżUVW 0DUWLQ /XWKHU .LQJ 'D\ ZDV REVHUYHG DIWHU EHLQJ VLJQHG LQWR ODZ DV D national holiday by President Ronald Reagan.

The Wetumpka Herald
PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Avoid a Ă&#x201E;nancial setback. You might need to revise your stance so that others can identify with your views. Share more of your thinking, especially toward the end of the day. You see life from a diÉ&#x2C6;erent point of view once you internalize othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ideas. Tonight: At a favorite haunt. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be stuck in a certain perspective, but given 24 hours, you will grow past it. Someone presents an irrevocable point of view, which, if you are listening, is likely to open you up. You Ă&#x2026;ow naturally with someone who is quite unique. Tonight: Run errands Ă&#x201E;rst. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might note that you move slowly in the morning, which is unusual for you. Nevertheless, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t push yourself too hard. You will have the opportunity to gather information and assess its impact. Be sure to weigh the pros and cons. Tonight: You are a force to be dealt with. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Use the daylight hours to the max. Be more direct in how you deal with a child or loved one when he or she responds to you. Your ideas carry weight with your inner circle. Focus on a key priority. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling worn out, make it an early bedtime. Tonight: Life is about to get dicey! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Do not question the fact that you have your share of admirers. A problem emerges that will be diÉ&#x2030;cult to handle if you do not put your cards on the table today. You will be a lot happier if you choose to embrace your leadership abilities. Tonight: Let your hair down, and be yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If you take a long-term view, you will see that a decision changes the outcome radically. Making a wise choice could be helpful. Others will strive to understand your reasoning. Be willing to explain where you are coming from. Schedule a
late-day meeting. Tonight: Dinner out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) One-on-one relating is highlighted. In fact, you might be so involved with the immediate situation that you have lost perspective on the long term. Before you make any agreements, pull away for a little while. This process could save you a lot of angst. Tonight: Try something new. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) People interest you, as you witness some old actions and remarkable statements. You could have a problem focusing on the big picture. If you can detach, perhaps in the late afternoon, you could see a whole diÉ&#x2C6;erent perspective. React at that point. Tonight: Be part of a duo. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Dive into work with enthusiasm and energy. You clear out a lot of work but also need to have some discussions. Schedule a late meeting for a talk about a certain situation. You will get some feedback from others that will be worth listening to. Tonight: Meet up with friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your creativity emerges in a discussion. In fact, you could have a problem settling in and having this talk. You might believe it is more ominous than it is, but you soon will discover otherwise. This situation draws out your imagination and othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goodwill. Tonight: Keep it light. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your light and easy style might not be coming through in the way that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like it to. Be direct and clear with others, as well as yourself. You might need a timeout from your routine. If you can schedule one ASAP, you will feel the diÉ&#x2C6;erence quickly. Tonight: Opt to be less social. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Speak your mind and handle a diÉ&#x2030;cult problem openly. Be willing to work with suggestions, and have a sustained conversation before you make a decision as to what path to go down. You are full of energy, and might overwhelm others. Tonight: Make it early.

Central man killed in incident with task force agents By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
An Eclectic man was killed by agents of the Elmore County Drug Task Force who executed a search warrant on Jan. 10, according to Elmore County Sheriff Bill Franklin. Johnny Burney, who lived in a residence on Moseley Road in the Central community, died after he pointed a loaded handgun at agents, who opened fire, Franklin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thursday, agents of the drug task force here in Elmore County conducted a controlled buy of narcotics at a residence
on Moseley Road in Eclectic,â&#x20AC;? Franklin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pursuant to information from the buy, the agents returned to the courthouse and obtained a search warrant for the residence.â&#x20AC;? At approximately 6 p.m., task force agents returned to the residence to execute the search warrant. Franklin said one of the agents on scene made visual and verbal contact with Burney through a side bedroom window. The agent informed Burney they were there to conduct a search warrant and for Burney to remain still. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Burney ran to a separate portion of the house, where the officer alerted
other agents on the scene the subject was running,â&#x20AC;? Franklin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two agents at the front door of the residence gained entry and saw Mr. Burney run through the den area into a separate bedroom, where he obtained a loaded handgun.â&#x20AC;? As the agents moved toward the bedroom, Franklin said Burney pointed the handgun at the officers. The first officer fired one round at Burney, while the second officer fired a pair of shots. Franklin said he believes the evidence will show two of the three rounds struck Burney, with one shot hitting his left hand and the other in the neck. Franklin described Burney as being
known to law enforcement officials in Elmore County, as the residence was the site of a previous search warrant, while Franklin believes additional documentation will show some of Burneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relatives have been arrested on drug-related offenses at the residence in the past. Franklin said the State Bureau of Investigation is handling the investigation. Franklin added the evidence gathered by the SBI could be presented to an Elmore County grand jury in April. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is sad Mr. Burneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life was taken but I want to stress when law enforcement arrives, it is not wise to grab a weapon,â&#x20AC;? Franklin said.

The request of a Wetumpka murder suspect for a bond reduction was recently denied by Elmore County District Judge Glenn Goggans, according to court documents. Corrace Calloway, 35, who lists an address on Lovejoy Lane, filed the request to reduce his

While a neighbor administered aid, police said Powell was pronounced dead at a hospital in Montgomery the next morning.
