Suspect arrested Police arrest Wetumpka man in connection with string of break-ins By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

A suspect was arrested by the Tallassee Police Department in connection with a string of break-ins across Elmore County in recent weeks. Jack Thomas Hight Williams, 22, of 420 McDonald Drive in Wetumpka was picked up by the Tallassee Police Department after Williams attempted to break into a convenience store in Kent, authorities said. Eclectic Police Williams Department chief Robert Head said a handful of break-ins occurred over the span of two nights a few days apart. On the first night, Head said Russell Do it Center and Piggly Wiggly, as well as a couple other businesses, were broken into. “A surveillance camera at Russell Do it Center caught an image of the suspect,” Head said. “After we reviewed the footage, we put the image on Facebook to see if the public could help identify the suspect.” A few nights later, Head said there was another handful of break-ins in Eclectic. Following these incidents, he said the suspect traveled to the Kent community and attempted to burglarize the Eagle convenience store there. During this incident, a witness spotted the suspect and began to tail him while calling police. While the call went to Eclectic, Head said they were able to immediately turn around and alert the

council held a reading of the annexation petition for this property and was able to take action on the matter Monday night. With no further discussion on the item, the council unanimously voted to annex the property. Additional action was taken with regards to the development of the new medical center, as a memorandum of understanding was approved for grant applications to be fully completed and submitted, providing an additional source of funding for the project. “This is good, this moves us where we need to be,” Mayor Jerry Willis said after the memorandum was approved. “This is similar with what had to happen with Lowe’s. This center will lead to producing other medically related facilities.” The council also looked at potentially bringing further property into the city, as a first reading was held during the meeting regarding a petition for annexation for a parcel of land located at the intersection of Coosa River Parkway and Gossom Switch Road. Approval was given to the police department by the council, authorizing a pair of purchases by the department. The first will allow the Wetumpka Police Department to purchase a record management system at a cost of $70,745. At an earlier council meeting, police chief Greg Benton described the system as integrating information more effectively with the Elmore County Sheriff’s Department and allowing the department to more easily submit reports to the state. The second will allow the department to replace five police cars destroyed in the Jan. 19 tornado. Before the meeting adjourned, Willis asked everyone in attendance to keep remembering those affected by Sunday’s tornado in Lee County. “Beauregard took a terrible hit,” Willis said. “I called over and spoke to the city clerk in Smiths Station and asked what they need. We need to keep remember those affected in our prayers for the next days and weeks.”

Millbrook police investigating hit-and-run fatality STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

The Millbrook Police Department is appealing to the public to help provide information about the death of a man in an apparent hit-and-run Saturday on Highway 14. Units of the Millbrook police and fire departments responded to the 1400 block of Highway 14 after getting a report of a body lying on the shoulder and partially in the eastbound traffic lane of Highway 14, west of Kelley Blvd. Officers located the body of a black male foreign national, approximately 34, which appeared to have been struck by a motor vehicle. Millbrook paramedics rendered aid but the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses were unable to provide investigating officers with a description of any suspect vehicle, police said. “This death investigation is being handled as a traffic homicide investigation at this time,” Millbrook police chief P.K. Johnson

said in a press release. “While we have no evidence at this point that would suggest that the collision between this pedestrian and what appears to be a single vehicle was an intentional act, whoever was driving the vehicle that struck the victim not only left the scene of the collision, they failed to contact emergency responders to possibly render aid. They simply left this unfortunate victim on the side of the roadway to perish alone. That is an unconscionable act and it is also a crime in the state of Alabama. If you are involved in a traffic collision that involves physical injury, you have a duty to stop and render aid. That did not occur in this case.” The victim’s body was turned over to the Elmore County Coroner’s Office and will later be turned over to the Alabama Department of Forensic Science for an autopsy to be conducted per the Elmore County District Attorney’s Office. The name of the victim has not been released pending notification of next of kin.

Tallassee Police Department, which apprehended the suspect. Along with the burglaries in Kent and Eclectic, Williams is believed to be behind multiple break-ins occurring in Wetumpka, police said. Over the course of a few weeks, Wetumpka police chief Greg Benton said several businesses, primarily along the U.S. Highway 231 corridor, were burglarized.

“All facts and evidence gathered during their investigation will be presented to the Elmore County Grand Jury for its consideration,” Johnson said. “They will determine what criminal charges will be filed against any potential offender(s) that our investigators are able to identify upon concluding their investigation.” Johnson asked anyone who may have been traveling along Highway 14 Saturday morning when the incident occurred or who may have knowledge of this incident to call the Millbrook Police Department at 334-285-6832 or the MPD’s Secret Witness Line at 334-285-8500. “I sincerely hope this was a terrible accident and the driver got scared, didn’t know what to do and just left the scene,” Johnson said. “If that is the case, I would appeal to the driver’s humanity to come forward and turn yourself in to our investigators and give them your full account of what happened. That’s just the right thing to do. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim’s family.”

A crowd of guests gathered at the site of the River Regional Medical Center on Friday afternoon for the official groundbreaking ceremony.

Willis complimented Ivy Creek Healthcare, as well as Coleman and Dr. Martin Lyons with Ivy Creek, for working together to make the facility happen. “We’re going to look back on this dreary day,” Elmore County Economic Development Authority executive director Cary Cox said. “We can’t comprehend how great this is going to be.” Lyons and Coleman thanked those in the crowd for standing out in the rain to watch the groundbreaking, helping celebrate the next step in the journey to bring the facility to fruition and offer a wide range of services for patients throughout Elmore County. “The county has helped out and the city has helped out,” Lyons said. “This thing is moving forward.” Coleman added, “Thank you all for supporting us. I want to thank Mayor Willis for his vision and for Commissioner (Troy) Stubbs in helping us get here today.” Willis, Cox, Lyons, Coleman and other officials present put on their hard hats and grabbed their shovels to pull up the first scoops of dirt to mark the beginning of construction for the new medical facility.

Revenues are up as legislature begins work

ov. Kay Ivey has been inaugurated and the legislature had its organizational session. Now it’s time for our state officials to get to work. Among the three branches of government — legislative, executive and judicial — the 1901 Alabama Constitution renders the legislative branch as the most powerful. Some who witnessed the George Wallace era may disagree and point to the executive branch but that was a unique era. Gov. Wallace had basically become king of Alabama politics from 1963 through 1986 with a couple of interlopers taking four-year residency in the Governor’s Mansion on Perry Street. They left all of the wheelchair accessibility aspects, Wallace features designed for his paralysis and his cigar-smoking bedroom in the mansion alone. They probably assumed he would return after his constitutionally mandated hiatus. There will never be another politician who will control the reins of state government for five terms like Wallace did. He essentially established himself as king of Alabama in pretty much the same way as Franklin Delano Roosevelt did as president from 1932 until his death in 1945. Ironically and coincidentally, both ruled from wheelchairs. Wallace simply owned the legislature. He was like a dictator and legislators were his puppets. As a young legislator, I watched as Wallace’s lieutenants simply sent the

STEVE FLOWERS Columnistt agenda for the day down from the governor’s office, bypassing the rules committee completely. The governor’s budget became the budget. If there was any pork in the budget, it went to Wallace’s loyal legislators. Thankfully, I represented Wallace’s home county of Barbour, therefore my district was on the pork list. In essence during that 20-year Wallace reign, the legislature was simply an appendage of the governor’s office. Today, the legislature has assumed its inherent power which is derived from the power of the purse. The legislature controls the appropriation of the state’s dollars, the ways and means of state government if you will. It is the most powerful branch because it controls the purse strings. Thus the old political Golden Rule, “Those that control the gold make the rules.” Ivey and the legislature have a golden opportunity to have a successful four years. They are all of the same party and have a close working relationship. As lieutenant governor and presiding officer of the Senate for over six years, Ivey built an excellent rapport with and understands the workings and machinations of the legislature. She is especially close to the Senate leaders such as Del

Marsh, Jabo Waggoner and Greg Reed. The legislature is overwhelmingly Republican; in the Senate it’s 27-8 and in the House it’s 77-28. Ivey and the legislature are also the recipients of outstanding financial news as they begin their first regular legislative session this week — Alabama is seeing the strongest tax growth since the Great Recession a decade ago. The tax dollars that make up the Educational Trust Fund have grown by 6.9 percent over 2017. That is a whopping $428 million more dollars to work with in the crafting of the next fiscal year’s budget. The primary sources for funding the education budget are income and sales tax. Income taxes, the biggest source of school funding, grew by more than $300 million this past year. It appears President Donald Trump and the Republican Congress’ passage of a taxcut package last year has been the stimulus for the growth in revenue for Alabama’s tax coffers. Even the beleaguered General Fund Budget is in better shape than was first thought. Our General Fund reaps its revenues from different taxes and tends to grow much more slowly than the education fund revenues but it grew by $76 million, putting the projection close to $2 billion.

Letter to the Editor

How to decrease risk of poison exposure Dear Editor, March 18-24 is National Poison Prevention Week. The Regional Poison Control Center at Children’s of Alabama has been a valuable resource to the state since 1958. RPCC serves all ages, offering free and confidential poison information and treatment recommendations to the public and healthcare providers 24 hours a day. Calls to the RPCC are answered by specially trained poison experts, including nurses, pharmacists and doctors. In 2018, the RPCC answered nearly 44,000 calls resulting in 39,590 exposure and information cases.

RPCC specialists made more than 56,000 follow-up calls. Last year, RPCC specialists monitored 85 percent of poison exposure cases from home on site. At-home monitoring avoids a visit to a hospital, saving $30.6 million in unnecessary emergency department visits. The top two pediatric exposures in Alabama are household cleaning substances and cosmetics. While the majority of calls to RPCC are related to children, about 34 percent of the calls concern adults. These calls are often related to medication errors — doubling up on doses or mistaking your spouse’s medications for your own. How can you decrease risk of

poison exposures? • Program our number, 1-800222-1222, in your cell phone and post it in an easy-to-see location for babysitters or other caregivers in your home. • Download our free app, Poison Perils, to identify potentially dangerous plants, snakes, insects and common household items. • When in doubt, check it out.

Wetumpka High science teacher receives $3K grant By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

Wetumpka High School science teacher Virginia Vilardi was recently named one of 35 science teachers across the country to receive a grant from The Society for Science & the Public. Vilardi received $3,000 and said the money will go to purchase muchneeded supplies for her classroom. While she has received other grant money in the past, Vilardi said this is the first time she has been awarded this particular grant. “To be eligible for the grant, you

had to have a student compete in either the International Science Fair or the Regeneron Science Talent Search within the past two years,” Vilardi said. “I had two students in the International Science Fair last year.” On her application, Vilardi said she had to provide a detailed list of what her grant money would be used to purchase. As the grant has to be used for science equipment and technology, she said she plans to obtain new balances, thermometers and other useful items that wear out and must be replaced. “I’m very excited to be a winner,” Vilardi said. “Anything

Jones co-sponsors disaster relief bill and an additional $600 million in nutrition assistance for Puerto Rico in response to the declaration of disaster issued by President Donald Trump. “In Alabama, we’ve seen our fair share of hurricanes, tornadoes and other severe weather over the years but that doesn’t mean it gets any easier to either experience a disaster or to rebuild after one,” Jones said in a press release. “Therefore, I’m proud to join Sen. Perdue to introduce this bill and help folks get back on their feet by providing $13.6 billion in additional disaster relief funds. This bipartisan legislation will help Alabama farmers who were hard hit by Hurricane Michael.” Perdue added in a prepared statement, “In October, President Trump and Vice President (Mike) Pence both saw the devastation of Hurricane Michael first hand and promised farmers they would have their backs. In pushing for this disaster relief bill, the president is fulfilling that promise. Now it is up to Congress to follow through and pass this critical, bipartisan bill. Our farmers and rural communities cannot wait any longer for disaster relief. For some Georgia farmers, the timing of assistance will determine whether they put a crop in the ground ever again.”

Wetumpka High School student Austin McDowell was named the winner of the 2019 Wetumpka Rotary Club annual speech contest after a pair of presentations Feb. 26. “It feels great,” McDowell said. “I put in a lot of hard work and effort into this.” McDowell and Wells Hutsler gave presentations about the opioid addiction crisis, a topic selected for them by Rotary Club members. McDowell and Hutsler cited many of the same statistics, including how 130 people in the United States die every day from overdosing on opioids and how the opioid OxyContin was marketed as a drug that could help with a wide range of pains and had a minimal risk of being addictive. Hutsler said opioids have been around for thousands of years and observed the creation of synthetic opioids and the price gouging of nonopioid pain medication has aggravated the problem. McDowell said he believes there are three key places to lay the blame for creating the crisis. First, he listed Purdue Pharma, which introduced OxyContin to the American drug market in the late 1990s and knew how addictive it could be but said nothing. Next, he said a number of doctors were to blame, particularly those who prescribed OxyContin to their patients more than necessary because they were offered various kinds of “perks” for prescribing the drug, along with those who lacked proper knowledge of how the drug would affect patients. Lastly, McDowell said American politicians were partially at fault, namely those who supported legislation benefitting large pharmaceutical companies because big pharma donated money to their campaigns. McDowell said providing additional funding for rehab facilities and getting doctors and politicians out of the pockets of the major pharmaceutical companies would help alleviate the crisis. Similarly, Hutsler said recently passed legislation, including funds for rehab facilities, and a Department of

to complete research projects or travel necessary to take students to places where they can complete their research. “Many teachers across the country are facing immense challenges obtaining the resources they need to purchase science equipment from their classrooms that can help engage their students and enrich their lessons,” society president and CEO Maya Ajmera said in a press release. “Through the STEM Research Grant program, we are providing teachers with an opportunity to create meaningful STEM research experiences for their students.”

I can do to improve the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education for my students is a benefit. My students are very excited for us having received this grant too. This grant, it’s a step forward.” According to a release from The Society for Science & the Public, its STEM Research Grant program supports educators who are implementing fresh and innovative teaching methods to shed light on discoveries that can be made through original STEM research projects. These grants help fund equipment or other experimental materials needed

Winner Austin McDowell gives his speech on the subject of the opioid crisis during the Feb. 26 meeting of the Wetumpka Rotary Club.

“We are going to have to rally together if we want to make a change.” — Austin McDowell WHS student, 2019 winner Justice task force formed by former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions have been valuable in combating the issue. While both students explained the opioid crisis is a serious matter and needs an effective resolution, McDowell and Hutsler said the problem can be solved with everyone working together. “We are going to have to rally together if we want to make a change,” McDowell said. “We have to start worrying about lives and stop worrying about money.” Hutsler added, “We didn’t get into this crisis in one day and we won’t be able to solve it in one day. However, it is not impossible to solve.” McDowell said he plans to use funds awarded him for his victory to help pay for his college education. He also said it was a great honor to be selected for the competition. Hutsler said the competition was an interesting experience to take part in and he enjoyed himself throughout the process. “It was very rewarding,” Hutsler said. “I had a good feeling from being in this.”

Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) has joined other senators to introduce a $13.6 billion relief package to help those in Alabama and other states affected by natural disasters. Jones joined Sens. David Perdue (R-GA), Johnny Isakson (R-GA), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Rick Scott (R-FL), Tim Scott (R-SC), Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Dan Sullivan (R-AK) to introduce the package, which Jones includes relief funding for those affected by recent natural disasters; agricultural disaster relief for farmers recovering in the wake of Hurricane Michael and other natural disasters across the country; development grants for small, rural communities impacted by natural disasters; assistance for veterans’ health facilities and military construction projects devastated by Hurricane Michael; emergency funds for critical timber, watershed and wastewater infrastructure needs; restoration of highways, aviation facilities and other transit projects damaged by natural disasters;

Principal Dr. Bonnie Sullivan said it was the first time the school had participated in the program and was thrilled to offer it to her students. “We are so excited to be kicking off the program you all have been working on,” Sullivan said. Cynthia Green with the Liberty Learning Foundation added, “We are so excited to be here. The Liberty Learning Foundation is all about helping you learn more about our country.” After greetings from Sullivan and Green, Libby Liberty made her appearance for the program. Libby, dressed up as the Statue of Liberty, got the students excited for the Super Citizens program the school’s second-graders will be taking part in over the next several weeks. During her presentation, Libby told the students more about herself, including how she was built, how she got her greenish color and other interesting facts. Built out of copper, Libby said oxidation brought about a change in the statue’s color; it was designed and built in France before being shipped to the United States and constructed on what is today known as Liberty Island. One fascinating fact Libby shared with the students was something few people know — there are broken chains at the feet of the statue, not easily seen around the bottom of the statue’s robe. More than simply sharing facts about the Statue of Liberty, Libby explained how the program would teach students the importance of holding the title of “citizen” and the value of the freedoms every U.S. citizen enjoys every day. She added how the secondgraders going through the program could make a big difference and be super citizens, helping those around them and doing the right thing to benefit their

communities and country. “We want to spread the word about our country and its history,” Libby said. “We all share in the same freedoms.” Libby mentioned how the classes would work together and, during the graduation celebration at the program’s conclusion, would recognize a “Helping Hands” hero. This hero, who will receive a special pin in the shape of the Statue of Liberty, can be anyone the students feel embodies the spirit of being a true American and is always willing to help others. “I symbolize the American Dream and that’s what we believe your heroes symbolize as well,” Libby said. Among the special guests at Thursday morning’s event were Wetumpka Mayor Jerry Willis, Elmore County Commissioner Troy Stubbs, representatives from the Elmore County Board of Education and four firefighters from the Wetumpka Fire Department. Willis offered a few remarks, thanking the school after one of its classes created art to be auctioned off for tornado relief and voicing his thoughts on the program. “This is a great program,” Willis said. The program concluded with Libby going around the auditorium and taking group photos with each of the homeroom classes before the students returned to their classrooms.

Officials with Alabama Power Company donated $10,000 Monday toward Wetumpka’s tornado relief efforts. Glenn Goggans of the Elmore County Disaster Relief Fund said the money would go a long way to helping those in need throughout the county affected by the Jan. 19 tornado. “I want to thank Alabama Power and the Alabama Power Foundation for this donation,” Goggans said. “We are still getting applications from people affected by the storm. So far, we have raised between $225,000 and $230,000.” Alabama Power’s Mike Jordan said the company’s efforts to aid the community and county began immediately after the tornado. “There are three legs to this stool,” he said. “First, we have the initial response with things like power restoration. After that, a number of our employees continued to volunteer their time to help out. Lastly, we have the financial contribution to provide assistance.” Immediately after the storm struck on Jan. 19, Alabama Power’s Kristi Stewart said the company worked hard in Elmore County to bring homes and businesses back online and clean up debris. According to Stewart, approximately 3,000 Alabama Power customers lost electricity during the storm. “We had seven company crews that came in on that day (Jan. 19) who worked through the night and into the next day,” Stewart said. “That Sunday, we had two company crews and 10 contract crews out working. By around 8 p.m. that Sunday, everyone who could receive power was back online.” Following the presentation, Jordan said he was off to Lee County to help with Alabama Power efforts following Sunday’s tornado and he reiterated how Monday’s donation to the Elmore County Disaster Relief Fund was part of what the Alabama Power Foundation is all about. “We are proud to do this,” Jordan said. “The foundation was proud to come alongside an organization like this and help out. This has all been to help the city of Wetumpka reestablish itself and help those affected return to some semblance of normalcy.”

All-County Boys Basketball Team Coach of the Year Player of the Year

Darryl Free leads Wildcats to third state championship By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

When football season ended, Edgewood coach Darryl Free had a quick turnaround to get the boys basketball team ready for the season ahead. However, after winning a total of 11 games during the previous two seasons, the Wildcats entered 2019 with a new sense of confidence and they rode that to the school’s third boys basketball state championship.

Turner racks up awards while leading Tigers to 22-win season By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Tyrek Turner has gotten used to walking away from the court holding a plaque. After winning area tournament Most Valuable Player as a sophomore in 2018, Turner started making a habit of it during his junior season. Tallassee participated in three in-season tournaments

and Turner was named to the all-tournament team in all three. He walked away with the MVP award during Tallassee’s Lions Club Tournament and the Elmore County Tournament at Wetumpka. “He was very consistent this season and you don’t just luck into those things,” Tallassee coach Keiven Mixson said. “His numbers aren’t staggering or anything but he has worked so hard. He’s

improved a lot since his sophomore year.” While a coach’s perspective may be different from most, Turner’s numbers certainly still jump off the page. He averaged 13.2 points, 12.2 rebounds and 4.5 blocks while playing in all 30 games during Tallassee’s run to the sub-regionals. Turner is the Elmore County Boys Basketball See TURNER • Page A8

FIRST TEAM Guard: Robert Stewart, Edgewood Academy junior Stewart’s numbers will not jump off the sheet but he was a big factor for bringing a state title to the Wildcats. Over the last seven games of the season, he averaged 15.3 points per game and took home the AISA State Tournament’s Most Valuable Player award. He made 43 3-pointers during the season and averaged 11.6 points per game across 27 games. Stewart also added 5.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.1 steals per game. “He did a great job coming on this year,” Edgewood coach Darryl Free said. “He’s the kind of player you can keep on the floor for a lot of minutes. He was a great tool on both sides of the ball for us all season.”

Guard: Tyquan Rawls, Wetumpka senior

Guard: Jamicah Humphrey, Tallassee sophomore

Rawls was always expected to be one of the leaders for Wetumpka this season. Before he made it to the court, the Indians started the season just 1-6. However, in the 22 games Rawls played in, Wetumpka went 11-11. He led the team with 17.5 points per game, including a 41-point performance in a win over Jemison. Rawls also led Wetumpka with 63 made 3-pointers and 70 steals. “Going into this year, we knew he could be a top scorer,” Wetumpka coach Derrick Powell said. “We just didn’t know he would come in with the tenacity he did. He’s a pure shooter and his basketball IQ makes it easier for him to score.”

Humphrey had a lot of pressure on him to start the season, taking over the starting point guard spot from Travon Skipper after Tallassee won the area championship in 2018. The Tigers moved to Class 5A and needed production from their new point guard. Humphrey provided that and more, leading the team with 14.4 points to go with 5.8 assists per game. He made 47 3-pointers and reached double figures in 20 in 27 games on the court. “After losing Travon, that position was a big question mark for us,” Tallassee coach Keiven Mixson said. “He played as well as I could have expected him to. We certainly do not get as many wins as we did without him.”

Forward: Drake Baker, Holtville junior

Forward: Jahsan Upshaw, Stanhope Elmore senior

Prior to the start of the basketball season, Baker’s status was unknown after a surgery on his right elbow. However, he did not miss a game and led the Bulldogs to 10-plus wins for the third consecutive season. Baker packed the stat sheet every night, averaging 17.3 points and 11.7 rebounds per game. He also added 2.7 assists, 2.5 steals and 2.2 blocks per game. “When you have a guy like that, you want to build around him,” Holtville coach Michael Collins said. “We’ve been trying to do that since he was a ninth grader. There’s just something about him on the court.

Basketball fans around the county had seen Upshaw’s potential in spurts over his high school career but he put it all together for his senior season. He led Stanhope with 13.3 points per game, taking the Mustangs into the sub-regional round for the second time in the last six years. Upshaw grabbed 8.7 rebounds per game and recorded 11 double-doubles in 29 games. He also averaged 1.2 blocks and 1.1 steals per game. “He really exceeded my expectations this season,” Stanhope coach Terry Hardy said. “He grew up a lot from last year. He lived up to his potential and played hard for us. He was more focused on helping the team this year.”

RIVALS SETTLE FOR SPLIT Indians erase early deficit for section win

Hat trick from Torres gives SEHS big victory vs. Indians By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Stanhope Elmore entered Saturday’s rivalry game with Wetumpka as the favorites but the Mustangs took some time to show up. After a sloppy first half, Stanhope score five goals in the second half, including three from Michol Torres, to walk away with a 6-0 win over the Indians in the Class 6A Section 6 opener. “I don’t know who they were in the first half,” Stanhope coach Johanna Angelo said. “I told them if we didn’t play better in the second half and start controlling the game, we would have practice right after the game. We were thankful for the second half.” The Mustangs (4-1-0) had the better chances in the first half but could not string passes together for any clear shots. Stanhope jumped into the lead after Wetumpka goalkeeper Zach Grindle fumbled the ball to the feet of Oscar Garduno who put the ball into the open net to put the Mustangs ahead 1-0 in the 30th minute. Kyle McManis had three chances in the final 10 minutes of the first half to extend the lead, forcing saves twice, but could not get the ball in the net. Grindle finished the first 40 minutes with See BOYS • Page A9

It had been nearly five years since the Wetumpka girls soccer team defeated Stanhope Elmore. The Mustangs were primed to extend that streak after an early goal gave them a one-goal lead at home but Wetumpka fought back with two goals in the final 50 minutes to knock off its rivals 2-1. “That’s the best team soccer that I have seen the girls program play since I got here,” Wetumpka coach Jessica Holbert said. “They were not selfish, they were communicating, they were making passes and that was great to see.” Wetumpka (3-3-2) was looking to rebound from its 10-0 defeat to Enterprise last week. The Indians fell behind early after Amairanys Urbano found the back of the net from 20 yards out to put Stanhope in front in the 12th minute. Holbert said she was concerned with how her team would respond but it did not take long for the Wetumpka players to show some fight. The Indians turned the momentum in the final 15 minutes of the first half and got their reward with an equalizer before the break. Moments after putting two free kicks just over the bar, Arrie Slauson connected with a shot from 24 yards out and watched it sail into the top left corner to tie the game. Wetumpka got another chance late in the half but a Stanhope defender cleared the ball out of the six-yard box just in time to keep the score level. “We knew at halftime that they were tired and

they were getting caught standing still,” Holbert said. “Our girls started doing it too but it wasn’t a stamina thing for us. We told them, if they’re standing and not moving well, drive it to them. Leave them behind.” Chances were rare to start the second half as possession stayed in midfield for the first 10 minutes after the break. Hailey Holbert cleared a Stanhope corner in the 50th minute but the Mustangs barely got a glimpse at goal for the final half hour. Three minutes later, Wetumpka had its first real chance to take the lead but a kick save on a shot from Morgan Sims was followed by a block on Slauson’s rebound attempt to keep the game at 1-1. The two connected

again a few moments later for the winning goal. Hailey Holbert had a throw-in deep in her own half but found Slauson on the right wing. Slauson quickly turned and fired a long pass up the field, allowing Sims to run on to the ball and finish after a scrum in front of the goal. It was

Edgewood’s Darryl Free is the Elmore County Boys Basketball Coach of the Year.

Free “We had a unique team this year because I knew I didn’t have to be a disciplinary kind of coach with them,” Free said. “We had players who had been through so much that they wanted to win that badly. They kept on and just believed they could be on top.” Free is the Elmore County Boys Basketball Coach of the Year. Edgewood finished the season with a 22-5 record and knocked off Autauga 38-21 to win the AISA-AA state title. Despite the lack of success since 2017, the Wildcats knew they would make some noise with the roster they had. “That team went through so much together,” Free said. “For them to come in and do what they did this year was great to see. Everyone did a great job of feeding off of each other as a team.” That roster was led by JC Bush and Brady Davidson, two seniors who had been with the varsity team since Free arrived in 2016. Free said they were a part of the group he first met with after accepting the position. “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 after winning the state title. “We reached that today. We bought in and worked our tails off to be on top right now.” Free said he admitted to the team it would not be an easy journey but the players bought in anyway and pushed themselves to learn the style of play the coaching staff wanted to implement. The

continued from Page A7 Wildcats thrived once again thrived off defense this season, allowing just 38.1 points per game. “You’ll have an off night in offense in every sport and in the regular season you can always say there will be a tomorrow,” Free said. “But when you’re in the playoffs, there is no tomorrow when you lose. If you’re going to win, you have to do it with defense. So, we are going to do with bringing that intensity on defense every game.” The intensity helped the Wildcats finish off the season with two wins after allowing a total of 50 points in the final two rounds of the state tournament. While the play can get exhausting on the court, the players enjoyed using their defense to win games. Throughout the season, Edgewood’s bench seemed to pay more attention when its team was on defense. Sometimes it felt the Wildcats deflected at least one pass on every possession by their opponents. Free helped bring that intensity back to the Edgewood boys basketball program and with it has come a winning culture. The Wildcats expect to have a majority of their rotation back for a chance to repeat next season but for those leaving, this season has left a lasting impression. “I’ve never known another coach that has dedicated so much time to a team,” Bush said. “He was the only coach that I’ve ever had that gave me confidence in myself. Every practice coach Free would bring the same energy and push us to become the best we could possibly be.”

Player of the Year. Turner could have posted bigger numbers but opponents quickly caught on to what the Tigers wanted to do on offense and attempted to shut down the post. While that opened up shots from the outside for other Tallassee players, Turner still made a big impact on those games. “He would get frustrated at times and sometimes I put a lot of pressure on him too,” Mixson said. “But I tell him these teams have two or three guys on you and you’re still walking away with 11 points and 13 rebounds. I just cannot say enough about his hard work.” Turner recorded 18 double-doubles, including two against Stanhope Elmore. During the opening round of the Elmore County Tournament, Turner had his best game of the season, posting 25 points, 16 rebounds and five blocks in a win over the Mustangs. “He was just a solid player,” Stanhope coach Terry Hardy said. “He did all the things a big man is supposed to do. He’s not flashy but at the end of the night, he’s still going to have 18 to 20 points and get rebounds. You don’t see many traditional bigs like him anymore.” Mixson said it was not unusual for opposing coaches to compliment Turner after a game. Turner’s impact

the first goal of the season for Sims, a seventh grader just called up from the JV roster, and it proved to be the difference in the end. “We were playing Elmore County and I put her at striker just to see what she could do,” Holbert said. “She looked good up there. We knew See GIRLS • Page A9

on the court was always clear and the opponents had to respect it. “A lot of coaches would come up to him after games to tell him how well he played,” Mixson said. “He was probably the best big man we saw on either side of the court all year.” With one more high school season on the horizon for Turner, Mixson said the big man’s potential is sky high. However, if Turner wants to get some more attention from college scouts, he’ll likely need to add some more size. Mixson said Turner will need to have a summer full of hard work to improve on his numbers from this season. He wants Turner to stay in the weight room to add

some more muscle and work more on his outside game to be ready for his final year. “I think he’s a college player already,” Mixson said. “But if he still grows a couple of inches, that’ll help his senior year a lot. He’s still going to be a leader on our team. His upside is just incredible.” The Tigers lose two key contributors from this year’s team which finished the season at 22-8 but Turner is a big reason why the expectations will be high again next year. Turner will return alongside starting guards Sandarius Hughley and Jamicah Humphrey as the Tigers look to push into the regional tournament for the first time in program history.

Give soccer a chance, you may like what you see

little more than a decade ago, I really started investing myself into the sport of soccer. I did not know much about it but there were more and more exciting games on television and I wanted to understand what was going on. It did not take long for the game to grow on me and it is now among my favorite sports, along with baseball and basketball, depending on what time of the day it is. I started to realize the biggest reason for the negativity around the sport is the lack of understanding. At least that’s what it was for me. The more I watched, the more I understood. And the more I understood, the more I fell in love with the game. For some reason, I find it hard to get people to attach themselves to the idea soccer can be entertaining. There was a game in England on Sunday which ended 0-0 but you could not take your eyes off the TV for 90 minutes. There is no sport like soccer with non-stop action. If you can sit through 12 replays of a football play after first, second and third down, this is much easier. Plus, everyone can get on board with less commercials. And while I know one man’s word may not change your mind about a sport, my biggest plea is this: Give high school soccer a chance. Go to a game for your local team, send some funds their way to help with repairing the field or even just volunteer to work in a concession stand. For 80 minutes, there are 22 kids on the soccer field playing their hearts out for a game they love, despite having very little support in the stands. Most of these teams play in the football stadiums that were meant for crowds 20 times the size most soccer games bring. Of course, I am not expecting to go to a soccer game Thursday night to see a full parking lot and standing room only on the home sideline. That may never happen in the state of Alabama but why not try to make it the best atmosphere possible? One of my favorite parts of these high school games has been hearing the parents in the crowd. You can tell some of them have had experience watching the sport while others just know when they’re supposed to yell for a foul. But the best part is they are all trying. They’re giving the sport a chance because someone they care about is out on that field. And while you may not know anyone on any soccer team around the county, the success of each athletic program should be important to the school and community as a whole. Even though I love the sport of soccer, I’m not going to sit here and tell you to call it “the real football” or try to preach to you why it’s the most popular sport in the world. I just want to ask you to give it a chance. There are more international and domestic soccer games on television now than ever before. The MLS is on the rise while access to European leagues has never been easier to attain. This Saturday, the Birmingham Legion FC will be hosting its first ever USL match. The inaugural season gets underway at 6 p.m. at the BBVA Compass Field in Birmingham. This summer, the world’s eyes will be on France where the top 24 women’s national teams will compete for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup. The United State enters the competition as the defending champions and will be one of the favorites this year. If you want to start getting into soccer, there is never a better time than right now. Watch the best players in the world from your couch, take a day trip to Birmingham to watch professionals in person and make sure to support your national team this summer. But it has to start at the local level. Caleb Turrentine is a sports writer for The Herald.

Dismukes’ pitching, hitting leads Bulldogs to win STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

Holtville and Wetumpka escaped the rain just long enough to play their first meeting of the season last week. KK Dismukes pitched seven shutout innings and added three hits at the plate to lead the Bulldogs to a 4-0 win over the Indians. Dismukes (6-1) struck out 10 batters and allowed only three Wetumpka players to reach base, none of them reaching second. Her three hits were a game-high and included a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning to extend Holtville’s lead. Zoe Lowe had an RBI sacrifice fly in the second inning to open the scoring for the Bulldogs. Alexus Hindman added a two-run single in the sixth inning but Dismukes did not need much run support. Rebeka Cannon pitched a complete game for Wetumpka, allowing eight hits and three earned runs while striking out one batter. Markie Hicks, Lily Gray and Mya Holt each recorded a hit at the plate for the Indians. Wetumpka responded by grabbing its first win of the season Saturday with a 10-0 victory at Carroll. Holt allowed just three hits over five innings in the circle to record the win.

Holtville’s KK Dismukes (17) allowed only three Wetumpka players to reach base during last week’s 4-0 victory over the Indians.

Stanhope Elmore responded to three losses over the weekend with a 10-2 win at Montgomery Catholic on Monday night. After falling behind 1-0, the Mustangs scored 10 runs in the final two innings to run away with the victory. Morgan Carroll hit a tworun single in the top of the

lone hit of the game but she was the only Mustang to record two RBIs on the night, adding to her teamhigh 15 for the season. Brooke Burkett led the Mustangs with three hits, including two doubles, and was one of four players to score two runs for Stanhope. Her RBI double in the sixth

inning put Stanhope ahead 3-1 which was enough to get the Mustangs to 5-4 on the season. Neci King pitched a complete game in the circle for Stanhope. After allowing a run in the first inning, King responded with 12 strikeouts over seven innings while allowing just four hits and one earned run.

Benjamin Russell falls on two second-half goals to SEHS

Elmore dominated the scoring chances in the first half, it was still scoreless after 40 minutes. But once the Wildcats were forced to be a player down, they allowed the Mustangs to get in their heads, score a pair of quick goals and escape with a 2-0 victory. “Of course losing a man changes the whole dynamic of how you play,” Benjamin

Russell coach Austin Teel said. “We set back, let them play and kinda tried to hold to the time and hold goalless time. But ultimately I think it affected the boys more than it affected our style of play. It was kind of like going down a goal, and you could see it in the boys out there.” Stanhope Elmore put the pressure on early and often, See SOCCER • Page A10

We should be the ones consistently controlling the game and deciding how it will go. We need that to happen from minute one.” Stanhope certainly stepped up during the second half and made it clear from the start. Rigan Stewart turned a loose ball from a corner kick into the net with his left foot less than three minutes into the second half to double the lead. “We had them worried in the first half but after that second goal, we lost some confidence,” Wetumpka coach Desmond Knight said. “And when you see that, a good team is going to take advantage of it and Stanhope is a good team.” The Mustangs continued to pour on the pressure, forcing Grindle into six more saves over the next 10 minutes before adding to their lead again. Torres took a pass from Cristo Rocha before finishing with his left foot into the bottom corner for his first goal of the day. “We really want to see more of the same now,” Angelo said. “We want to do what we do better and more consistently. The play in the final third has to get sharper and we want to play with more confidence.” Stanhope started showing that confidence down the stretch, adding to Wetumpka’s deficit with another goal from Stewart in the 60th minute. Stewart was the first to react to a loose ball in the box and headed the ball past the keeper for a 4-0 lead. “As a center back, my job isn’t to score; it’s to keep that zero,” Stewart said. “So, for us to keep a clean sheet and for me to get two goals for us, that’s just a big deal. My goal is to get one per year so to get two in one game is great.” Torres completed his hat trick with two goals in the final 15 minutes, including another left-footed stunner from outside the box. His final goal came with under six minutes to go in the match, taking advantage of another

goalkeeper mistake and finishing into an open net. “That’s his style of play,” Angelo said. “He likes to take players on and get cute sometimes, even if it drives me crazy. He’s got a great shot so once he’s relaxed and playing confident, he can start doing those things. The other kids feed off his energy; I just need him to be more consistent.” Wetumpka (3-2-2) struggled to create chances and forced only two saves from Stanhope goalkeeper Isaac Spikes, both in the first half. The loss was the biggest defeat of the season for the Indians and ended a two-game winning streak. “We want to use this as a learning experience and a teaching tool,” Knight said. “We knew Stanhope was good and they finished well. Our approach is to try to be more like them and be more resilient. We want to follow their lead because that’s a team with a winning culture.”

The two teams will meet again April 13 at Hohenberg Field in Wetumpka. The Indians are hoping to find drastic improvements over the next month to be more competitive the next time they face the Mustangs. “With our schedule and the region being so small, it’s hard to tell where your team really is,” Knight said. “Playing a team like Stanhope helps you identify your strengths and weaknesses very quickly. In the month between games I think we’re going to improve.” Stanhope is still unbeaten on the season and will continue section play with a trip to Calera on Thursday night. While they understand the importance of each game, the Mustangs already have their eyes set on bigger goals. “It’s really nice to get a big win like this in a rivalry,” Stewart said. “The next stop is Huntsville though. These matches are important, winning the region is important but the big goal is Huntsville.”

Girls their defense is not real fast so I thought she could just give them something to chase after and it worked.” Wetumpka dominated possession in the final 20 minutes, keeping the ball

remaining. Stanhope dropped its third consecutive match and is now 2-1-5 on the season. Wetumpka jumps out in front of the Class 6A Section 6 standings with a match

against Calera coming up next week. “If they play the way they played today, win or lose, I’ll be happy,” Holbert said. “But of course, we still want to win.”

Downey’s 1-hitter leads ECHS to road victory By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Austin Downey was one strike away from sitting down the ninth consecutive Tallassee batter and being one out from a no-hitter Monday night. However, Tallassee catcher Reece Graham connected with a pitch and sent a line drive just over the glove of the leaping shortstop for the Tigers’ first hit of the night. Downey quickly shook off the disappointment and struck out the final two batters of the night to finish his first complete game of the season and give Elmore County a 2-0 win over its county rivals. Downey finished with 10 strikeouts and allowed just two walks before grabbing his second victory of the season. “About the third inning I knew I was going to shut it down,” Downey said. “Being able to come out here against our rival and play some good ball, that just feels great.” The Panthers (3-1) had not played in a game in six days due to bad weather and while the rain held off Monday night, the cold temperatures did not make things easier. Elmore County struggled to give Downey any run support because of some mental mistakes on the base paths. “Austin got in a groove and that was huge,” ECHS

coach Michael Byrd said. “Offensively, I thought we had good at bats but we had some costly outs on the bases. We were two or three hits from a 6-0 game. That comes from not playing many games so I think those are things we can clean up.” After two quick outs to start the game, Elmore County grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first

inning when Landon Maynard scored on a wild pitch. That was all Downey needed to lead the Panthers to victory. “When we get in the lead with Austin on the mound, you feel pretty good about it,” Byrd said. “We had Landon ready to come in but Austin was just in that groove so I had to let him go.” Downey also led the

Panthers with two hits, along with Taylor Handerson and Trey Brand. Elmore County did not grab its second run of the game until the seventh inning when Payne Watts scored on a Garrett Cole groundout. Seven different Tallassee players were on the receiving end of a Downey strikeout. Graham reached base twice

for the Tigers, battling for a walk in the fourth inning and singling in the seventh. “We really didn’t make any adjustments at the plate all night,” Tallassee coach Adam Clayton said. “He was pounding the zone with the fastball and we struggled against the off-speed stuff. You have to shorten your swing some and we couldn’t do that. Credit to Austin though, he had a great game.” Beau Baker pitched five innings for Tallassee but fell to 0-2 on the season. He allowed seven hits and just one unearned run while striking out two batters. “That is disappointing,” Clayton said. “In all three of Beau’s appearances so far this year, he’s pitched well enough to win. We just have to continue to work and get our offense to spark some time.” Because of changes made to the area alignments last year, this was the lone scheduled meeting between the two teams this season. Elmore County has now won two of the last three games in the series after losing the previous nine meetings with the Tigers. “When you feel like it’s a rivalry, you hope your guys can get up for it,” Clayton said. “I just didn’t feel that from our guys tonight. It meant a little more to Elmore County and that showed tonight.”

Strong start hinders Mustangs vs. BRHS By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Benjamin Russell’s Landon Daniel (6) pressures Stanhope Elmore’s Arly Ramirez during Thursday night’s game. The Mustangs won, 2-0, after scoring twice in the second half.

but within the first 15 minutes of the game, Benjamin Russell keeper Campbell Woods kept the Mustangs off the scoreboard with a pair of fantastic saves. He also got a little help from his goal, as a Stanhope Elmore shot bounced off the crossbar and out of play. The Mustangs controlled the pace of play for most of the game using crisp, well-intentioned passes to work their way through the midfield. “That’s what we’ve been working for and it’s the goal,” SEHS coach Johanna Angelo said. “We played two nights ago, and it did not look quite as nice. There are still some things that we’re working on, but the passing is getting better and it is what we’re relying on and the movement and the comfort with each other. “I’ve got a lot of seniors, so some of them have played together for a very long time so I think that’s where a lot of it comes from too.” Benjamin Russell had its first real scoring opportunity with under 10 minutes to go in the first half, as Landon Daniel notched the Wildcats’ first shot on goal but it was an easy save for the Mustang keeper. Holding a 0-0 tie at halftime, the Mustangs continued to put the pressure on and Angelo said she didn’t want to change how they were playing in the first half. “I kept everything the same in the second half because I was really happy with the way they were playing,” she said. “We talked about how to penetrate and what runs to make and where the disconnect was in the finishing. But I was just happy with what we were doing so I didn’t want to make too many changes.” The Mustangs finally broke through with a goal from Michael Torres just nine minutes into the second half, and seven minutes later, Arly Ramirez netted one to the left of Woods on a one-on-one situation. Despite giving up two goals, Teel said his defense played extremely well. “Campbell made some big saves, and I thought our defense all in all looked really good,” Teel said. “Deshaun (Gonzalez) and Yujal Patel in the back, I thought they played really well (Thursday). Even when they just had three or four back there, I thought they all stepped up and really played. They set the tone in the back; I just wanted that tone to continue throughout the midfield and the forwards as well.” The loss was Benjamin Russell’s first of the season, while Stanhope remains undefeated.

It’s been an up and down week for Benjamin Russell’s girls soccer team to say the least. The Wildcats have either shut out or been shut out in all three of their games this week. But they ended it on a high note by coming out on top against Stanhope Elmore on Thursday night after once again getting off to a strong start. Abigale Sims scored on a free kick just 49 seconds into the game, and before 15 minutes had ticked off the clock, Benjamin Russell built up a three-goal lead and went on to earn a 7-0 victory over the Mustangs. “It was a much better start, and that starts with the mindset,” BRHS coach Lee Wagoner said. “We came in tonight with the complete opposite mindset that we started the game Tuesday (a 6-0 loss to Trinity). We came in with the mindset that we had on Monday night when we won 10-0 and that makes all the difference.” Stanhope Elmore was missing a few key pieces and knew it was going to be an uphill battle, so Mustang coach Dawn Kelly said she tried to make adjustments as much as possible but also wanted to give her younger players an opportunity to get in the game. “My keeper wasn’t in and my star player wasn’t in,” Kelly said. “We’re still pretty young, but I felt like with my star midfielder

not being in, it changed the whole middle. Without her in that position, my girls are used to playing together so we kept switching it up to see what we could do. I also have a lot of seventh-graders and I played every single seventh-grader tonight.” Like Stanhope, the Wildcats were also without an integral part of the midfield as Gabi Watson was sidelined with an ankle sprain, according to Wagoner. But Laura Tims took over the starting spot, and between her, Lydia Ballard and substitute Michael Ann Wellborn, Benjamin Russell dominated the midfield. By doing such a fierce job in the midfield, the Wildcats controlled the pace of play and got several scoring chances. Stanhope finished with eight saves in addition to allowing the seven goals. “We made a couple adjustments (in the middle) by necessity,” Wagoner said. “The three of them in rotation did an outstanding job of controlling the midfield, and that’s what I’ve been preaching all season is we live or die by the midfield. That’s where they showed out tonight.” After Sims’ quick goal, Benjamin Russell struck again as Jordan Osborne hit a shot straight at the Stanhope keeper and it floated back out. Lillie Wilson quickly scooped it up and tucked it in the back of the net. Less

than 10 minutes later, Osborne got one of her own to put the Wildcats up 3-0. After a lightning delay, Benjamin Russell fired another quick score, this time from Makenzie Davis. With under two minutes to go in the first half, Kelly Hernandez had a golden opportunity but she got a little too excited and kicked it high. But with 43 seconds remaining before halftime, Hernandez made up for it by netting a goal to give Benjamin Russell a 5-0 lead at the break. Fariah Khan and Emma Culligan both scored in the second half. “Seven goals by seven different players, I really like to see that,” Wagoner said. Despite the loss, the Mustangs were happy to get their youngsters some good experience and also test out different strategies for if injuries continue to occur. Stanhope now sits at 2-4-1 on the season, and although the record isn’t great, Kelly is happy with the progress she’s seen her team make. “We’ve actually played really well,” she said. “Other than playing Northview, we’ve pretty much dominated the ball but we’re having a little trouble finishing. (Benjamin Russell’s) girls were really strong and we had no middle tonight, so you could tell we were young. We’re coming along though, better than last year.”

All About Our Bones

Bone Word Search

Skeletons arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a fun Halloween costume! Our bones are essential. The human skeleton is a hard, bony structure that supports and protects our soft tissues, muscles, and organs. At birth, a human has around 300 bones. Throughout childhood, these bones become harder and fuse, or ELQG WRJHWKHU $V D UHVXOW DGXOWV KDYH RQO\ WRWDO ERQHV 7KH KXPDQ VNHOHWRQ LV FODVVLÂżHG LQWR WZR GLá&#x201A;&#x2021;HUHQW JURXSV WKH D[LDO VNHOHWRQ DQG WKH DSSHQGLFXODU VNHOHWRQ 7KH D[LDO VNHOHWRQ LV PDGH up of the head, neck, vertebral column, and trunk. The appendicular skeleton is made up of the hip bones (or pelvis) the pectoral bones (or shoulders), and the limbs of the body. The largest bone in the human skeletal system is the femur (thigh bone) and the smallest is found in your ear. The human hand is made up of 27 bones, while the human face has 14 bones. All of the bones in the body are connected at points called joints. Some joints move, or bend, and some do not. Movable joints, such as those in our hands, arms, and legs, are connected by ligaments and tendons.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Keep hanging back, or you could be upset by what happens. A little caution goes a long way. You need to wait and see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on. A new beginning becomes possible if you slow down. Tonight: Not to be seen. Add some mystery. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have a sense that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about to make a dream a reality. Communicate your bottom line. You could be more easily angered if interfered with. A meeting proves to be signiĂ&#x201E;cant and allows you greater Ă&#x2026;exibility. Tonight: OÉ&#x2C6; celebrating living. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be willing to take a stand if necessary. Travel could occur because of a quick change. You are likely to be dealing with people who think and act diÉ&#x2C6;erently from you. You have an opportunity to break past a restriction. Tonight: Make it an early night. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Focus on a long-term wish. The chance has come to realize a goal or Ă&#x201E;nally take the next step in your life. Take your time solidifying your plans. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if you hit a blockage or two in the next few weeks. Tonight: Relax and indulge in a favorite pastime. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A partner could cause a problem for you at the last minute. Try not to get involved with it if possible. You have a vision of how you want your bond to be. You might even think you have it. Your rose-colored shades might be tinting the situation. Remember, the other party is human. Try not to put him or her on a pedestal. Tonight: Remain responsive. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You are learning that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take any idea as the Ă&#x201E;nal concept for a project or whatever youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at. You keep seeing concepts and values systems being tested. Honor

a fast change. Tonight: Listen to a partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be adamant about completing a project, yet face some interference. You also might be eyeing a new project that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to. Express your idealism in a positive manner rather than deceiving yourself about a key matter. Tonight: As you like it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your imagination kicks in. You come up with unusual ideas that could delight a loved one. He or she might be jolted by an unexpected event and need to share and clear the air. Tonight: Work on your listening skills. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could feel unusually tense around a domestic or personal matter. You might be considering a greater commitment or change. Ask questions, and get to the bottom of a problem. Tonight: Extremely playful. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You hear news or receive information that could stop you in your tracks. You have a lot to think about. The unexpected provokes some dynamic ideas and possibilities. Tonight: Express your excitement at the newness of a situation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be greeting a sudden or surprising change. The situation could have an impact on your Ă&#x201E;nances. Be careful making commitments of any type for several weeks. More information could come up. Tonight: Stay neutral. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be unusually creative but me-oriented as well. Your long-desired new beginning or goal seems to be in sight. Communication still could be oÉ&#x2C6; for several weeks. Tonight: Share what you consider to be a wonderful idea.

Jackson said the regional manager felt the school had done a great job in expanding the program over the few months since being introduced, which led to the school being selected to attend and present at the conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a great honor,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proud of our students and how well they represented our school. They were in front of 1,100 people and they did well to represent the school.â&#x20AC;? In a press release written before the conference, Project Lead the Way vice president and chief engagement officer David Dimmett said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Millbrook Middle School is a true champion of PLTWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relevant, engaging approach to learning, teaching and community engagement. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve invited them to share their stories to inspire attendees and provide best practices that they can be taken back to other communities to benefit students across the country. We are thrilled to have PLTW students and teachers from Millbrook Middle School joining us in Indianapolis for the PLTW Summit.â&#x20AC;? In addition to growing the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Project Lead the Way offerings, Jackson said she hopes to see more of her students invited to attend future conferences offered by the organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without a shadow of a doubt, this program has been worth it,â&#x20AC;?
