oung actors with the Wetumpka Depot Players theater are getting ready to take the stage in late November for their performance of “Junie B. Jones: Jingle Bells and Batman Smells.” Wetumpka Depot Players Executive Director Kristy Meanor said the play is an adaptation of a well-known children’s book of the same name. “‘Junie B. Jones’ is a beloved chapter book series that all the children read in elementary school,” Meanor said. According to Meanor, the show centers around the holiday shenanigans of the titular character. “Junie has made a bad choice. She has decided to give her Secret Santa (recipient) a gift that’s not very special, because she didn’t like the name she drew.” Meanor said. From Nov. 26-30, Meanor said See DEPOT • Page A2

ALDOC officials would not comment on the circumstances leading up to the incident or if Kennedy died in the prison or at an offsite medical facility, citing an ongoing investigation.

Starting Nov. 26, schools throughout the river region will take field trips to see the Wetumpka Depot Players’ production of ‘Junie B. Jones.’ This is the 13th holiday-themed children’s show the Depot has produced and the second year it has performed ‘Junie B. Jones.’

A proposal to contribute $49,400 for repairs on a currently vacant building owned by the city sparked a dispute between Wetumpka city officials during a regularly scheduled work session and meeting on Monday. The Wetumpka City Council held its first reading of the proposal, which would grant the city permission to contribute the funds to the Wetumpka Industrial Development Board to repair the roof on 412 South Main Street. The building was once the site of Faith Mission Rescue Thrift Store. According to Wetumpka IDB Chair Johnny Cooper, a leak in the roof caused water damage inside the ceiling and will likely cause damage to other parts of the building if left unmanaged. “It’s in really bad shape. Before you could put any business in it, whatsoever, the roof’s got to be

elementary schools from Elmore, Tallapoosa, Montgomery and Autauga counties will take field trips to see the show. “I picked this one because it is a delightful play experience for young audiences. It’s also very familiar to the students who are coming to the show. They likely will have read some of the ‘Junie B. Jones’ books,” Meanor said. “We’re very selective of the material we put on our stage. We want it to be age appropriate and we want our students to have a connection to it.” Meanor said this is the theater’s

13th year to produce a children’s show, and the second time that it has been Junie B. Jones. “Because we’ve done this play before, I know for a fact that this is excellent literature,” Meanor said. “It holds up to our standards of the kind of play we’d like to put before our local students.” Because of the amount of shows that will be staged, Meanor said “Junie B. Jones” features a double cast. “We do 15 day performances, which works out to three shows a day over a five-day period,” Meanor said. “One cast just simply

repaired,” Cooper said. “There are probably half a dozen places where the roof tiles are already coming in because of the water coming through the roof.” Cooper said the IDB would be willing to contribute $35,600 toward the repairs. Cooper said the repairs would involve placing a “membrane roof” on the building, which he said was analogous to a liner in a swimming pool. Councilmembers Lewis E. Washington Sr. and Steve Gantt

spoke against the proposal, saying they did not have enough time or information to make a knowledgeable decision. “I’m not against saving the building. I can see where the tile is falling down, but that’s a lot of money,” Washington said. “How much of a difference would three more weeks make? How much water is going to fall in three weeks?” Gantt asked. Councilmember Kevin Robbins spoke in

favor of the proposal, saying the city could not afford to wait any longer. “I’m very concerned about what damage we’re going to do if we have another rainstorm,” Robbins said. “I don’t want to waste more money because we didn’t act on this immediately.” Mayor Jerry Willis also spoke in the proposal’s favor, stating the council’s responsibility to protect and take care of city property. “It’s our building. The IDB is holding it for the city for the development of it, and we’ve got a building that has a bad problem,” Willis said. “I do appreciate the IDB

coming forward and offering this assistance to help the city financially.” Robbins made a motion to suspend the rules to allow the council to vote on the proposal, instead of holding a first reading during the meeting, but it was denied by Washington and Gantt. City attorney Regina Edwards added the IDB had not been notified until the middle of the previous week and had discussed the issue as quickly as possible. The proposal will be discussed during a special-called council meeting at the Wetumpka Administration Building at noon on Wednesday.

No charges filed after Millbrook shooting Georgia man charged with trafficking heroin By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

Millbrook police said a 26-year-old man was shot, possibly in the Sandtown community of Millbrook about noon Saturday, in what could have been in a drug deal gone awry. After he was shot, the victim was driven to Millbrook Fire Department Station No. 1, police said. Once there, paramedics began treating him for a single gunshot wound to the lower left leg. His injury was deemed nonlife-threatening, and he was transported to Baptist Medical Center South for additional treatment. Because the victim declined to prosecute the individual

responsible for shooting him, police said no criminal charges have been filed. Millbrook police chief P.K. Johnson said the victim made comments indicating that he planned to “handle the situation himself.” Johnson issued a warning against seeking retaliation, and said “street justice” will not be tolerated. “We will not tolerate anyone attempting to take matters into their own hands or retaliation of any kind. We will be stepping up patrols in the area and our officers will address any and all violations observed,” Johnson said. “Everyone that lives in that area is not a criminal or involved in drug activity, and they don’t want this mess occurring in their neighborhood.”

By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

A Georgia man was recently taken into custody by Wetumpka police officers on multiple drug-related charges. John Floyd Scarborough, who lists an address on Morningside Drive in Sylvester, Ga., was arrested on Nov. 10 and charged with trafficking heroin, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest. According to court documents, officers responded to a call at Motel 231 regarding

a fight in progress. When police arrived, Scarborough was allegedly uncooperative and fought police. Police reportedly discovered bags in Scarborough’s pocket, containing two bags of what is suspected to be methamphetamine, one bag of what is suspected to be powder cocaine and one bag of what is believed to Scarborough be heroin. Several loose pills were also discovered, per

police. Authorities also said they found a handgun, and numerous forms of drug paraphernalia were visible throughout the room. Trafficking heroin is a Class A felony. If convicted, Scarborough could face a life sentence in prison and owe up to $60,000 in fines. Possession of a controlled substance is a Class D felony, possession of drug paraphernalia is a Class A misdemeanor and resisting arrest is a Class B misdemeanor. Scarborough was booked into the Elmore County Jail on bonds totaling $24,000.

Center legacy while acknowledging the many positive things the center has done for the community. “It’s been named the Martin Luther King Center for a while now, but we’ve never had a sign out there to commemorate him. Since we put the sign up, we wanted to re-dedicate it,” Wise said. “There was nothing up here to say that this is the Martin Luther King Center. We just knew it.” Wise said the association has several events planned in King’s honor at the beginning of next year. “The visuals are a great thing there, because the people can actually see Dr. King,” Wise said. “It’s one thing to know the center is named after him, but it’s an entirely different story to see his picture and his name up there.” The museum is the site of the former Elmore County Training School, which was attended by African-American students until schools became racially integrated in the 1960s. Wetumpka City Council Member Lewis E. Washington Sr., who attended the school in 1949, reminisced about his time as a student there. “Inside this building were six classrooms. We had great dedicated teachers in the good old days. They cared, they were concerned and they would take the time to work with us and make sure that we were getting a good education,” Washington said. “Coaches were the same way. We had all types of recreation here at Elmore County Training School.” While students endured hardships during the segregation era, alumni Carolyn Bowman and Lois Waters said many alumni have gone on to lead successful lives. “We started out getting books from Wetumpka (High School) after they finished with them. Sometimes the pages would be torn out, and you didn’t know the full history of what was going on. We didn’t have access to new books,” Bowman said. “If you hadn’t walked in another person’s shoes, you wouldn’t know what that feels like.” “We all made straight A’s though,” Waters added. “You were gone after four years to go north. There weren’t any jobs here that paid anything. You either became a teacher or a doctor or a nurse. The doctor and the nurse part was really hard to accomplish, but it was accomplished by a lot of people.” Washington said he viewed the conver-

continued from page A1

sion of the school into a museum as a sign of the progress that African-Americans have made over the past five decades. “God has brought us a mighty long way,” Washington said. “Let us not forget from whence we came. Let

us be prideful and let us be thankful that we can still look around at these walls and think about the many teachers that we had who have passed on.” Alumna Pattie Glasper said the sign, with its images of King, the Montgomery bus boycott

State of Alabama loves football, politics

he only sport Alabamans enjoy more than Alabama politics is college football. We especially love the Alabama vs. Auburn football game. Folks, this is Alabama/Auburn week in Alabama. The Alabama vs. Auburn annual event is one of the fiercest of college football rivalries. It is the game of the year. It is a state civil war that divides friends and even families. It is bragging rights for the entire year. The loser has to live with his boasting next door neighbor for 364 days. It seems that one must choose a side no matter if you despise college football and could care less who wins. Newcomers to our state are bewildered on this fall day each year. They cannot comprehend the madness that surrounds this epic war. It is truly that, a war. It is the game of the year. Young boys all over Alabama grow up playing football in their front yards and dream of playing in this big game. It is said that when these two rivals meet one can throw out the record books. However, that is not necessarily true. In fact, in 90 percent of the games the favorite has won. A lot of SEC championships and bowl games have been decided in the game. It has made many Alabamians’ Thanksgiving holiday either joyous or sad. I liked the rivalry better when it was played at Legion Field, but I am an old-timer in heart and age. The game was not played for 40-years between 1908 and 1948. Myth has it that the game was halted because of the intense rivalry. That is not the case. The true history of the ceasing and renewal is that after the 1907 games, the schools could not agree on the terms of the contract. The dispute involved meal money, lodging, officials and how

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist many players each side could bring. Football was not the passion it is today so the two schools let the matter rest and the fans did not seem to care. That began to change as college football grew to a major sport in the 1940s. When the series resumed, a popular myth was that the Alabama Legislature called a special meeting and forced the teams to play. This never happened, but the Alabama House of Representatives did pass a resolution in 1947 to encourage, not force, the schools to meet in football, and the officials at Alabama and Auburn agreed. The Presidents of Auburn and Alabama simply talked with each other and decided it would be in the best interest of the schools to start playing again on an annual basis. The contract was drawn up, the papers signed and the rivals literally buried the hatchet. On the morning of December 4, 1948, the president of each school’s student bodies dug a hole at Birmingham’s Woodrow Wilson Park, tossed a hatchet in and buried it. The series began again in 1948 with a 55-0 Alabama victory and the teams have squared off every season since. Alabama leads the series 45-36-1. This record reveals that Alabama has not dominated the series, like it has against other SEC rivals and other national powerhouse programs. In the political arena, the University of Alabama alumni have dominated the Alabama political scene. During the 60-year period from 1910

through the 1970s, almost every Alabama Governor, U. S. Senator, and Congressman was a graduate of the University of Alabama, either undergraduate, law school, or both. Currently, our state’s most prominent and powerful political figure, Richard Shelby, is a graduate as an undergraduate and the law school at the University. A couple of Auburn men broke through the ice to grab the brass ring of Alabama politics, the governor’s office, Gordon Persons won in 1950 and Fob James, a former Auburn halfback won in 1978 as a Democrat and came back and won a second term as a Republican in 1994. In recent years, since 1982, Governors George Wallace, Don Siegelman, Bob Riley and Robert Bentley have all been Alabama Alumni. However, our current Governor, Kay Ivey, is an Auburn girl through and through. She and her best friend, Jimmy Rane, became political allies at Auburn. They both have turned out fairly well. Newly elected state representative Wes Allen of Pike County was a walk-on wideout on one of Alabama’s National Championship teams. He was coached by Gene Stallings and Dabo Swinney. Wes’s father is state senator Gerald Allen of Tuscaloosa. This is a first in Alabama political history, a father and a son tandem serving in the Alabama Legislature together. See you next week. Steve is Alabama’s leading political columnist. His weekly column appears in more than 60 Alabama newspapers. He served 16 years in the state legislature.

Letter to the Editor

County Farm-City Committee expresses gratitude for rural, urban partnerships Dear Editor, This Thanksgiving season, as we gather with family and friends to count our blessings, let’s give thanks for the bounty we enjoy not just on this holiday, but every day. The safe, plentiful food that is available to us, and the products used to produce the clothing, housing, medicines, fuel and other products we use on a daily basis, didn’t just appear in a store. The got there thanks to a tremendous partnership of farmers and ranchers, processors, brokers, truckers, shippers, advertisers, wholesalers

and retailers. Rural and urban residents are “partners in progress” who create the products, consume them, and make them readily available through an efficient production and marketing chain. Farmers and ranchers are just the beginning of that chain. Farm workers, researchers, processors, shippers, truck drivers, inspectors, wholesalers, agribusinesses, marketers, advertisers, retailers and consumers all play important roles in the incredible productivity that has made our nation’s food and fiber system the envy of the world.

This week, as we celebrate Thanksgiving, let’s remember the vital farm-city partnerships that have done so much to improve the quality of our lives. Rural and urban communities working together have made the most of our rich agricultural resources, have made significant contributions to our health and well-being and to the strength of our nation’s economy. For this, we give thanks. Jennie Barrett Wetumpka Elmore County Farm-City Committee Chair

Mercer sworn in at commission work session By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

An Elmore County Commissioner was officially sworn into office after running unopposed in the Nov. 6 general election. Commissioner Bart Mercer, who represents District Four, took his oath of office during a work session on Nov. 14. Elmore County Circuit Judge Bill Lewis officiated the ceremony. Mercer was initially appointed to the position by former Gov. Robert Bentley on Dec. 26, 2016. Mercer replaced former commissioner Joe Faulk, who resigned and pleaded guilty to a felony ethics violation. During the time he’s been in office, Mercer said he has seen many things

accomplished by the county commission. Mercer thanked his family and the residents of district for allowing him to serve in the capacity of commissioner. “I appreciate the citizens of District Four giving me the opportunity to serve,” Mercer said. “I feel like this commission has worked hard to modernize this county government and enhance operations.” Because Mercer was appointed, and not elected, state law required that his name was included on the ballot of the next election. “He will be on the ballot in two years, along with the rest of the commissioners who are on a four-year cycle,” Stubbs said. “Due to that, he will have the opportunity to get sworn in more often than the rest of us.”

Deatsville man Wetumpka chamber hosts last 2018 event charged with dealing cocaine By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

A Deatsville man was recently jailed after police say he sold $300 worth of cocaine in Millbrook. David DeJuan Wise, 45, who lists an address on Deatsville Highway, was arrested by the Central Alabama Drug Task Force and charged with unlawful distribution of a controlled substance on Nov. 7. According to court documents, Wise’s charge stems from an Oct. 17 incident, when he allegedly sold eight grams of powder cocaine during a controlled purchase conducted by task force agents in the Sandtown area of Millbrook. On Aug. 3, 2016, Wise was one of 214 Alabama inmates who was Wise granted clemency by former United States President Barack Obama. Wise was convicted of conspiring to distribute cocaine hydrochloride and possession of cocaine in 2005, and was sentenced to 20 years in prison with eight years of supervised release. Wise’s prison sentence was commuted to expire on Dec. 1, 2016, but the eight-year supervised release term remained in effect. Unlawful distribution of a controlled substance is a Class B felony, which can be punishable by up to two decades in prison and up to $30,000 in fines. Wise was booked into the Elmore County Jail on a $10,000 bond, where he is currently being held. On Nov. 14, Wise’s attorney filed a motion to demand a preliminary hearing.

Local business leaders heard from a professional athlete and learned about different nonprofit organizations in the area during the Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce’s quarterly luncheon on Nov. 13. Executive Director Gerry Purcell said this is the chamber’s last event of the year. “We’ve really had a good year,” Purcell said. “We’ve had three awesome events this year, and every event we’ve done has been much better than the previous year. We’ve had awesome success on social media this year. We’ve gone from about 1,500 to almost 5,000 likes (on our

Facebook page.)” Toronto Argonauts linebacker and Wetumpka resident Bear Woods served as the event’s guest speaker. During his presentation, Woods said he used to pray for tenacity and endurance before games. Now, he said he also prays for discernment and the awareness of the privileges and opportunities he has. “My message has been, and will be, thankfulness and being in this moment,” Woods said. “You’re either ascending or descending in your life, nothing stays the same. On the football field, you’ve either gotten better or worse. Apply that to your own life.” Purcell said he has wanted Woods to speak at a chamber event for years, but was unable to

because of Woods’ football schedule. “He’s a very charismatic, energetic, enthusiastic guy. He raises the atmosphere every time he goes somewhere,” Purcell said. “We’re fortunate to have been able to get him at this event.” Because the luncheon was held so close to Thanksgiving and Christmas, Purcell said the chamber decided to use the luncheon as a way to promote the charitable organizations that benefit hundreds of Wetumpka residents. According to Purcell 15 nonprofits, each centered around different causes, were represented. “This is the main season of giving, and it’s pretty obvious there is a wealth of organizations that do

wonderful work,” Purcell said. “In the past, we didn’t really have an opportunity to feature them. This is our way of saying ‘thank you,’ and also making the community more aware of the nonprofits out there.” Hopefully, Purcell said having all of the nonprofits at the luncheon helped them establish new relationships. “I know the (Elmore County Pregnancy Center) took a Saturday and went to the Food Pantry. We want to connect people, not only our members to the groups, but to connect the groups to each other,” Purcell said. “Everybody in here touches hundreds, if not thousands, of people. They can’t serve all the needs, but if they know who does, it helps everybody.”

WPD talks use of force, body cameras at town hall meeting By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

The Wetumpka Police Department held its inaugural town hall meeting at the Wetumpka Civic Center on Nov. 13. During the meeting, police gave updates on the department’s current affairs, discussed the department’s goals, answered questions and received feedback from residents. “Any organization that is satisfied with the status quo and has no plans to get better becomes stagnant and, over time, will have diminishing returns,” Chief Greg Benton said. “It is our department’s desire to be the premiere agency in the river region. I know that is a very high bar, but why would we want to set a bar that’s low?” Benton said the department has 29 officers, nine reserve officers and three support positions. Benton said the members of the department are a diverse group of people, which is an important focus for the community. “We always strive to have a department that’s correctly reflecting the city’s diverse base,” Benton

said. From the beginning of the year to Nov. 13, Lt. Ella Roberts said the department made 750 arrests. Out of those arrests, Roberts said 72 were felonies. According to Benton, violent crimes in the city have decreased, but property crimes have increased. “What we want is a low crime community. We know that’s impossible. However, there are things that we can do as a community, like getting together and talking like this,” Benton said. “We don’t want the citizens of Wetumpka scared to call us because they fear retribution from the person committing a crime.” Benton identified several areas in which he believes the department could be improved, including transparency with the public, the professional development of officers, establishing leadership secession plans within the department, recruiting officers, providing up-to-date equipment for officers and maintaining a positive relationship with the community. Wetumpka resident Earvin Slaughter inquired about the department’s policy on the use of deadly force.

“(There have been) a number of incidents that have gotten out of hand, where a person was unarmed and still got killed,” Slaughter said. Benton said the department’s use-offorce policies are very strict and are based on a model provided by the International Association of Chiefs of Police. “Our policy is that there has to be a serious, physical threat of injury or imminent danger. Those are the two criteria that go into making a decision. Those officers have to make that decision within a millisecond,” Benton said. “Are there people that have been shot and killed that did not deserve to be? Absolutely. That being the case, you really have to go be in that officer’s shoes at the time.” Elmore County NAACP President Bobby Mays asked about procedures involving body cameras for on-duty officers. Currently, Benton said the cameras they use have a four-hour battery life, while officer shifts run for 12 hours. Benton said officers are instructed to turn on the cameras when they think they’ll be needed, and he is working with Mayor

Wetumpka Depot rings in holidays with Candy Cane Cabaret By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

It wasn’t too early for performers with the Wetumpka Depot Players to celebrate Christmas during the theater’s inaugural Candy Cane Cabaret Friday night. “The Candy Cane Cabaret was a great reason to get together and launch the holidays with songs of the season,” Depot Players Executive Director Kristy Meanor said. “It was a nice opportunity to put some of our seasoned veterans onstage to sing some really great music, all for a really great cause.” Jenny Whisenhunt, who sang three songs during the show, said she enjoyed the camaraderie among her fellow performers and the audience’s investment in the show. “I love the cabaret style of performing, where the performers are very laid-back and we’re able to interact with each other,” Whisenhunt said. “Also, we’re able to kind of feed off of the audience’s participation as well, especially during

this one, because they know the songs. During the show, Whisenhunt said the variety of Christmas songs evoked a wide range of emotions in many of the performers and audience members. “Even though it’s before Christmas, certain songs bring up certain memories or certain people,” Whisenhunt said. “It’s hard to hold back.” Despite having a challenging dress rehearsal, Scott Page said his fellow performers made the show entertaining and had a ton of fun during the process. “We had kind of an icky dress rehearsal, so I was a little concerned. But everybody just stepped up and had fun,” Page said. “We decided, before we went out there, that we were just going to have

a good time, and I think it showed.” While the theater has hosted cabarets in the past, Meanor said this is the first time they have produced one with a holiday theme. Meanor said the idea for the Candy Cane Cabaret was born during rehearsals for the Depot’s September show, “Hands on a Hardbody.” Meanor said they invited the “Hands on a Hardbody” cast to return for the cabaret, and also reached out to a few other regular performers at the theater. Because Wetumpka Depot Players are so close-knit, Whisenhunt said she enjoyed reuniting with old friends. “It’s really good to see people (from “Hands on a Hardbody.”) I’ve also seen people from former shows. It’s

Jerry Willis to purchase dash cams that turn on whenever lights are in use. Mays expressed concern that the cameras’ current capabilities might not enable the officer to record the entirety of an incident, specifically the events leading up to the incident. “My immediate concern is getting that gap from four hours to 12 hours shortened, and getting it away from the officer having to make that decision after the event has taken place,” Mays said. Assistant Chief Ed Reeves said finding a camera with a 12-hour battery would be difficult to find. Benton said it would be impossible to have an employee solely dedicated to going through the amount of footage these cameras would produce. While he Dothan police chief, Benton said similar events were regularly held. Because the meetings were so beneficial in Dothan, Benton said he hoped they would have the same effect in Wetumpka. “I realized that it would be good for us to hear what our citizens had to say,” Benton said. “It brings the PD and the community closer together, and it makes the citizens feel like they have a voice.” really like a family reunion, because you see people that you’ve worked with previously,” Whisenhunt said. “There are also the people you see in the audience. They’re part of the Depot family, too.” According to Meanor, the cabaret raised funds for the theater’s Penguin Project, which gives children and young adults with special needs the opportunity to perform in a Broadway musical. “This night was a great way to bring awareness to the project and to start that early fundraising effort,” Meanor said. Whisenhunt described the Penguin Project as “wonderful,” and commended Meanor for taking it on. “I think the fact that she is so passionate about this and that people in the community are willing to step up and spread the news about this wonderful art space program is just phenomenal,” Whisenhunt said. Page said he is passionate about both performing arts and the special needs community, which he said is overlooked far too often. Page said he believes that everyone should have the chance to perform onstage. “We have quite a few in the river region who would like to perform, but don’t have the opportunity to,” Page said. “I think it can change a person’s outlook on life, to get up onstage. It might help them with self-esteem issues, or different things like that.”

Otherwise, they’d be left behind,” Young said. “We’re excited, and I hope the prospect of internet access is exciting for people in rural communities.” During the first phase, the cooperative will create a subsidiary organization and a 365-mile fiber optic cable system will be built and connected to the cooperative’s 24 substations and six offices. The system will encompass all of the cooperative’s four major counties: Elmore, Autauga, Chilton and Coosa. The system will

also partially lie in several other counties. According to a press release from the cooperative, the project’s first phase will also involve working to extend internet service to customers in the 4,000-foot area around the 365-mile fiber optic system. Young said nearly 10,000 homes and businesses would be eligible for service Installation of the cables is anticipated to begin in June 2019. The cooperative’s initial goal before moving to the second phase is establishing a 35 percent take rate from residents and business owners within the area encompassed in phase one. Once the service is available, the initial cost for residential internet service is estimated to be $59.99 per month for up to 200 mbps. According to the cooperative, speeds will exceed the requirements of the Federal Communications

Commission. In August, the cooperative launched an online survey to seek feedback from residents in areas that might be eligible for the service. Young said the survey generated about 2,500 responses. Those who committed $25 to ensure their interest in the project were placed on a pre-registration list. The $25 will take the place of “much higher” connection fees. Stackhouse said the project is expected to take years to complete. However, he said phase one will bring the cooperative closer to bringing internet access to some of the most rural parts of the state. “This is historic endeavor that has the possibility of helping to provide our communities with a service they need, much like (what) was done 80 years ago this month when this electric cooperative was formed,” Stackhouse said.

TAKE TWO Wetumpka vs. Spanish Fort

2: Quarterfinals

Coach Tim Perry

Hohenberg Field Friday night

Wetumpka mixing playoff preparation with holiday By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

There is nothing new about Alabama high school football teams preparing for a playoff game during the week of Thanksgiving. However, that does not make things any simpler. For the second consecutive year, Wetumpka is using its Thanksgiving week to prepare for a Class 6A quarterfinal matchup with visiting Spanish Fort Friday at 7 p.m. Indians coach Tim Perry said the whole week is different than a regular game week but the team tries to keep things as normal as possible. “It is a change because your whole routine is different,” Perry said. “Obviously, they’re out of school and we’re practicing in the mornings. It is different but that’s just something we have to adjust to.”

Wetumpka’s preparation last year worked well as it knocked off the Toros 69-41 to advance to the semifinals. Perry said the players wanted to see the same schedule this week, which includes a regular Thursday walkthrough. “We want to keep things as normal as possible,” Perry said. “We understand Thanksgiving is a very family-oriented holiday but we’re still going to bring them up here on Thursday morning for our walkthrough. We won’t keep them long but we just want to get them up and keep the game on their mind.” Perry has found some positives to the week as the time off from school provides extra preparation time for the game. “It gives us more time to focus on our game and the preparation,” Perry said. “They have a break from classwork and exams and (they will) be able to focus on getting See PREP • Page B2

How bad can the Iron Bowl actually get? Look away, Auburn

ou hear it all the time. “You never know what can happen in a rivalry game.” The Iron Bowl is one of the best rivalries in all of sports. This game has basically served as a play-in game for the national championship over the last decade. And yes, every year, you expect to see two rivals give their best efforts on the field in this game. However, that does not mean you will be seeing a close game. In fact, over the last eight seasons, only one Iron Bowl has been decided by one possession. Last year’s 12-point Auburn victory may have been a surprise to some but it pointed out the flaw of Alabama’s offense and was the beginning of the end for Jalen Hurts as the starting quarterback. Alabama now has one of, maybe even two, the nation’s best quarterbacks. Tua Tagovailoa has the Crimson Tide scoring more points than any Nick Saban offense could have ever dreamed. Whether that translates to the field at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday may not be a sure thing but it is pretty close. Alabama has not been slowed down yet this season and there’s no reason to expect a 7-4 Auburn team to do the trick. Alabama’s offensive explosiveness has shown itself in a variety of ways this season — fly routes to Jaylen Waddle, catch and runs by Jerry Jeudy and now crossing routes to tight end Irv Smith. (If you have not seen his move to make the entire Citadel defense go the wrong way, you need to.) Six Alabama players have at least one reception of 50 yards or more this season. You slow one of them down, Tagovailoa finds someone else. Sure, stopping the run game first can slow down any offense but until pressure See TURRENTINE • Page B3

Indians, Toros meet again in quarterfinal battle

By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Exactly 52 weeks ago, Hohenberg Field was preparing to host a Class 6A quarterfinal game between Wetumpka and Spanish Fort, and the two teams went on to combine for 110 points with the Indians earning a spot in the state semifinals. One year later, the setting has not changed. Spanish Fort (11-1) will travel to Wetumpka (10-2) the day after Thanksgiving for the third round of this year’s postseason. Wetumpka coach Tim Perry said it was a bit of a coincidence to be in the same situation as last season but he wants his team to know the outcome can still be different. “This is a different year,” Perry said. “They’re a different team and we’re a different team. Even though the situation is similar, the teams are very different.” The Indians — who are coming off a 20-17 overtime victory against Hillcrest — are 5-0 at Hohenberg Field this season, outscoring their opponents by 18 points per home game. Perry said the crowd has had a lot to do with those performances and he expects the fans to be back at it Friday night. “We’ve got incredible fans,” Perry said. “Our community is excited and I’m confident it’s going to be another standingroom-only crowd. I’m sure it’s going to be an incredible atmosphere.” Spanish Fort has reeled off 11 straight wins after a season-

opening loss to Class 7A power McGill-Toolen. “As you progress through each round, the competition gets better and better,” Perry said. “Teams that are still playing this time of year are very good. You can’t count on your opponents making a mistake or not playing well.” In the first two rounds, the Toros have outscored their

opponents 68-0 and have recorded shutouts in five of their last seven games. In last week’s 30-0 win over McAdory, Spanish Fort had four interceptions to help set up the offense with good field position. The Toros needed only 247 yards to score 30 points and Perry said they thrive off the success of See TWO • Page B2

Wetumpka setting high expectations as a team By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

In wrestling, team goals can easily get lost among the success of individuals. However, that is not the case for Wetumpka and coach David Crunkilton. Wetumpka has high expectations for each of its individual wrestlers but that has led to a higher standard for the program. The team had four athletes place at the state championships last season but there was still disappointment as Wetumpka finished 13th in Class 6A. “Our coaching staff has high expectations for our team,” Crunkilton said. “We expect our team to wrestle to the best of their ability at every practice, match and tournament.”

File / The Herald

Wetumpka’s Mason Blackwell, bottom, had one of the best win percentages on the team last year and is back with high expectations again this season.

After a top-four team finish in 2017, Wetumpka looks to return to the top of 6A this season. The team lost only two players

and returns eight wrestlers who competed at the state championships. Sophomore Kyler Adams had the team’s highest

individual finish last season, winning the third-place match in the 113-pound weight class. He finished with a 49-10 overall record but is expecting to move up to 120. Senior Noah Barclay, who is expected to stay at 182 this season, finished the season 41-11 and won the fifth-place match at the state tournament. Wetumpka fell victim to the injury bug at state last season. Junior Cole Blackwell (48-8) and freshman Mason Blackwell (46-9) had the two best individual winning percentages on the team last season but both suffered a concussion in the semifinals and were forced out of the competition. They both placed sixth in the state but See WRESTLING • Page B3

Mustangs look to return to winning ways with senior-laden squad By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Stanhope Elmore’s boys basketball team followed its 2016-17 area championship with an 8-14 record last season, and after losing six seniors, Mustangs coach Terry Hardy hopes the new faces will help bring success back to the program. “We are a totally different team than last year,” Hardy said. “We had some good players last year but we have more true basketball players this year.” The Mustangs have seven seniors; six were on the team last season but only one was a starter. Senior and three-year starter Jashan Upshaw, a 6-foot-4 forward, will play a key role. “His experience will be good for us,” Hardy said. “He’s been on a team that won the area and he went through last year. He’s seen the good and the bad, so he knows what it takes to play at a high level.” Hardy said Upshaw’s versatility to play any of the three frontcourt positions will help give the team

Wetumpka wins overtime thriller vs. Hillcrest to advance to quarterfinals By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

etumpka trailed Friday night’s Class 6A playoff game at Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa for just one play. After the Patriots took a 17-14 lead in overtime, Wetumpka’s Tyquan Rawls rolled to his right and found E.J. Rogers in the corner of the end zone on first down to send the visiting sideline into a frenzy with a 20-17 triumph. “He had called the play and the first thing that came to my head was ‘oh my goodness, it’s on me,’” Rogers said. “I did what I had to do. It was a great moment.” Wetumpka (10-2) will host No. 2 Spanish Fort (11-1) in the quarterfinals Friday at 7 p.m. In the first overtime, Wetumpka’s Colton Adams made an open-field tackle on third down to force Hillcrest to kick a field goal to break a 14-14 tie. “We knew we had the momentum and we just had to step up,” Adams said. “Everyone lives for that moment, that overtime game. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing.” Wetumpka coach Tim Perry said the offense already knew where the ball was going on the first play before the overtime period began. “We talked about what our script for the overtime was going to be,” Perry said. “We agreed the comeback route to E.J. would be the first play. We had never done that out of the formation before so we got the 1-on-1 matchup we wanted.” Rogers finished the night with three catches for 32 yards but none were bigger than his final grab. Rogers also had an interception late in the fourth quarter to keep Hillcrest from taking a late lead. “We said we were going to

get the ‘W,’” Rogers said. “I didn’t want to end my season like that so we just told them to keep it up and we came out with a win.” Wetumpka (10-2) took an early lead on Rawls’ 7-yard touchdown run but scoring was limited due to a field muddied by a week of rain. “We told the skill players to wrap the ball up and keep your feet under you,” Perry said. “There was a lot of water and nowhere for it go. But that’s another mark of maturity for our team. They didn’t get all out of shape because of the footing but it didn’t break their focus.” Wetumpka led 7-3 at halftime, then Hillcrest drove 73 yards with its first possession of the second half before stalling inside the 10-yard line and kicking a field goal to cut the lead to 7-6. Wetumpka responded with an eight-play, 79-yard drive, capped by De’Angelo Jones’ 3-yard touchdown run.

“We’ve preached to them that you have to be really patient,” Perry said. “In the playoffs, you won’t be able to put up 30 to 40 points in one half against these teams. They’ve bought into that and they don’t get frustrated.” But the 14-6 lead didn’t last long, as Hillcrest’s Kyah Moore returned the ensuing kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown and the Patriots tied it with a two-point

Two their offensive line. “They return four starters on the offensive line and they’re very good,” Perry said. “They’re big and physical. When you have four guys return on the same line who know the system, they can play at a very high level.” Spanish Fort will be looking for revenge after last year’s loss which ended its season and the Indians know they are wearing a target on their backs. Although the Toros may be favored, Wetumpka will be looking to play with the confidence it has gained over the last year. “The players understand it,” Perry said. “As a result, our practices have been very good. The guys were focused and bouncing around in practice. They understand what this time of year is about.” After playing two teams with five losses each in the first two rounds, Wetumpka has drawn its toughest opponent of the 2018 season, and Perry said the coaching staff does not have to tell their players how good the opponent across the field is. “They understand that Spanish Fort is a very good football team,” Perry said. “The guys who were there last year know how good Spanish Fort was last year. They know the big challenge that we have but our guys embrace that.”

conversion. While Wetumpka had not been in an overtime game since 2014, Perry said his team’s collective experience paid off in the extra period. “Our guys have been in big games before so there wasn’t any panic,” Perry said. “When we held them to kick the field goal in overtime, our guys gained even more confidence.”

ready for this game. It gives us coaches a little bit more time to evaluate our game plan.” Football season officially began Aug. 6 and in the 108 days since, Wetumpka has had 64 practices. Perry understands the importance of preparing for a postseason game but he also wants to keep the players’ energy up without tiring them down. “I’m not sure what the balance is,” Perry said. “I think you can overdo it at this time of year by keeping them up here at school longer. Once you get to the playoffs, I think you have to keep the balance between staying fresh and staying excited.”

Perry said the focus is keeping the players mentally sharp going into Friday’s game and maintaining the routine will help. “We’re going to keep the same routine on Friday,” Perry said. “We’ll have a church host us for a team breakfast and then we’ll come back to school for a while to stay with that routine. We think trying to keep that routine the same as possible is important but we also take into account the holiday season.” The Wetumpka coaches and players will want to enjoy their holiday like everyone else but the week could get even better Friday night with a win at Hohenberg Field.

Stanhope wrestling looks for growth in 2018 By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Stanhope Elmore qualified five wrestlers for last year’s state championships and finished with one individual state champion. However, the Mustangs lost a lot of their top-tier wrestlers and are hoping for success with the experience left on the roster and a few newcomers. “We graduated some really great leaders and wrestlers and lost another to a transfer,” Stanhope coach Hunter Adams said. “But we have some really hardworking and committed guys coming back. I think we can match or exceed the number of state qualifiers that we had last season.” Tobias Garrison won the Class 6A state title at 170

pounds but graduated in May. The only returning wrestler with experience at the state tournament is sophomore Tanner McCord, who finished fourth at 126 in sectionals last season to qualify for the state tournament but lost all three of his matches in Huntsville. Adams said McCord may move up a weight class this season but he is still expected to have a great year. The Mustangs also bring back a host of veterans with a large senior class, including Auguste Adams, Dylan Flynn, Jarod Bush and Carson Stone. “(They) have all improved their strength and conditioning in the offseason and should finish their Mustang careers with their best seasons,” Adams

said. Adams, the defensive coordinator for the Mustangs’ football team, said Stanhope has more depth this season after recruiting some football players for the wrestling program, including Elijah Gordy, William Whitlow and T.J. Jackson. Adams said the size and athleticism of those players should translate well to the mat this season. Last year, Stanhope finished with 20 dual-meet victories and is hoping to find that same success this season. The Mustangs have their first match of the season in Montgomery on Nov. 29 against CatholicMontgomery and Carver. However, Adams said he is not prioritizing the early See STANHOPE • Page B4

Lady Wildcats look to build off opening week By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Edgewood’s girls basketball team made it to the Elite Eight last season in its first year under coach Jay Adams, who hopes that experience will pay off quickly on a roster filled with seniors. “They know what we do; they just have to remember how to do it,” Adams said. “Even after two or three practices, they know the plays, so they’ve learned it. We just have to execute and find our identity.” Edgewood split its first two games at home, beating Evangel 47-41 and losing to Morgan 46-27. The Wildcats used the deep ball and big performances from CJ Weldon and Kenzie Johnston in the win. Weldon and Johnston, both seniors, combined for 25 of the team’s 47 points. Johnston knocked down a 3-pointer to start the season and finished the game with three makes from beyond the arc. Weldon added two triples of her own. “CJ and Kenzie know when they’re open, they have the green light,” Adams said. “We’ve got to figure out how to shoot inside-out and off a ball reversal … When our shooters aren’t hitting, it is just tough to get it inside.” Edgewood saw those struggles in its second game. After Johnston and Weldon each hit an early 3-pointer, the Wildcats did not make another three, finishing 2-of-25 from deep. Morgan took advantage of the poor shooting and ended the game on a 20-7 run. “We’re taller than we were last year, so we have to try to figure out how to play with that advantage,” Adams said. “We

don’t have to hit 20 threes a game anymore, we just don’t realize that yet.” A lot of that height comes from Avery Roberts, the team leader in rebounds after two games. Adams hopes the Wildcats will have an advantage on the glass throughout the year. “It certainly should be,” Adams said. “Rebounding should be going our way but whether we turn that into points, that’s what we need a little more work on.”

will return this season with unfinished business. Cole Blackwell finished second place in 6A in 2017. Wetumpka is still waiting for football players Colton Adams and Kamyron Jackson to finish the playoffs to decide if they will join the wrestling team. “We are waiting to hear confirmation from a few football players about whether they are wrestling or not,” Crunkilton said. “There are also a few weight classes that are still undecided. We have to wait until we get our full team to figure out where everyone will be at during the season.” Wetumpka finished 30-5 as a team, and Crunkilton said while success begins on an individual level, the ultimate goal is for the entire roster. “Our wrestlers set short-term, medium-term and long-term goals throughout the season,” Crunkilton said. “Of course, the ultimate team goal is to win the state championship at the end of the season. The wrestlers want to win state as a team, but they also set the goal to win an individual state championship. We have a teamfirst attitude, but we are successful as a team if the wrestlers accomplish their individual goals.” Wetumpka has tough competition throughout the season but it begins early with the team’s season opener, in which it hosts Lee, Carver and Thompson on Nov. 27. Thompson won the Class 7A state title and returns three individual state champions.

Edgewood turned the ball over 22 times in the loss to Morgan but Adams said he thinks that will be cleaned up as the season continues. The Wildcats are dropping from the highest classification in AISA and should be even more competitive this season. “I expect them to compete every game,” Adams said. “We’re dropping to AA so we shouldn’t run into a lot of games where we’re just going to be outgunned.”

Edgewood had five total double-figure scoring performances in its first two games of the season last week. The Wildcats defeated Evangel 48-30 in the boys basketball season opener behind scoring outbursts from Jackson Welch (16 points) and JC Bush (10) last Tuesday. Two days later, Welch (17) and Bush (16) each reached double figures again, along with Robert Stewart (11), but Edgewood fell to visiting

Turrentine is being put on the quarterback, Alabama will be scoring points. And that is where Auburn’s only hope lies. Finding the balance between stopping the run and pressuring the quarterback will be the key to success. Auburn’s defensive line is very good and probably has a couple of NFL players but Alabama’s offensive front may be even better. The Crimson Tide’s offense is designed to score quickly and often. And it gets even worse when the other team has to keep its defense on the field with very little rest. Auburn’s offense has found the true meaning of inconsistency this

Morgan, 71-59. Wildcats coach Darryl Free said having the scoring spread out can be a good thing when executed properly. “We’re going to like the balanced scoring but we’re not used to it yet,” Free said. “We’re being too unselfish. We need some guys to show the initiative to not just get the pass off but getting to the rim to score. Once we find that balance, we’ll be better.” Edgewood used an eight-man rotation in See BOYS • Page B4

season. Between the running backs, the pass blocking and even the play calling, nothing seems to be working week in and week out for the Tigers. Alabama’s defense will take advantage of that and it will only help the Tide’s offense. Auburn should have some success on the ground this week but Jarrett Stidham will have very little time to throw the ball and if you are an Auburn fan, he is not fun to watch when he is on the run. Alabama used to tire out defenses with a constant rushing attack. Now the Tide does it with explosive plays and a stout defense. Auburn has very talented players

and its defense has been above average this season, so I don’t expect Alabama to score 60 points Saturday. But I also don’t expect Auburn to keep this game close enough to have a chance in the fourth quarter. So it may not be as bad as Alabama’s 49-0 win in 2012 but the margin of victory may get pretty close. If you’re an Auburn fan, I’ll leave very little room for hope and if you’re an Alabama fan, I’ll leave room for only disappointment: Alabama 45, Auburn 10 Caleb Turrentine is a sports writer for The Herald.

Wetumpka gets first win of boys basketball season STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

The Wetumpka boys basketball team split two road games to start the season last week, dropping the season opener 57-35 at Jeff Davis but defeating Trinity 45-40 two days later behind a team-high 14 points from Jaden Tillman.

Seth Johnson, who transferred to Wetumpka this year, finished with 11 points and 13 rebounds. He recorded a double-double in each of the first two games, averaging 12 points and 11.5 rebounds in the first week. Tillman also added seven steals and Zeylin Hooks had 11 points. Wetumpka’s girls team

struggled offensively in an 0-2 start. It fell to Jeff Davis 40-32 in the opener last Tuesday, as Lacondra Paschal scored 13 points while Janae McCall added nine. Wetumpka suffered 29 turnovers in a 43-25 loss to Trinity last Thursday. McCall and Paschal each had four points.

Mustangs point guard role a little better than the other two options. He likes to get other players involved and distribute the basketball more. All three players could find themselves starting at some point in the season as Hardy said it may just be about who has it going. “We’ve only been in the gym a week,” Hardy said. “I would love to see someone separate themselves but until then, we’ll just see who has got it going on that particular night.” CJ Wright, a senior who transferred from Sidney Lanier, is expected to start and senior David Stinchcomb will also get some starts at center. The Mustangs hope to use their athleticism to play man-to-man defense this season. Hardy said

when Upshaw is playing center, it will give the team the option to switch at every position. “We have a lot of kids that are the same size but that’s a good thing,” Hardy said. “You want to have the same skill set. We’ve got kids that can really defend and stay in front of people.” Stanhope Elmore will be in an area with Wetumpka and Selma this season and expects to prove the Mustangs are on the rise. “We’ll be under the radar this year,” Hardy said. “After what we did last season, no one will be expecting us to make much noise.” Stanhope Elmore began its season at a tournament this week at Brewbaker Tech. The team will resume play Nov. 27 at home against Marbury.

each of its first two games and all eight scored. Bush, one of three seniors on the roster, got into early foul trouble against Morgan but turned it on to keep his team within striking distance. “JC is a great player and a great leader for this team,” Free said. “Being able to turn it on when we need him to is definitely an asset of JC’s.” After picking up two fouls in the first quarter, Bush scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half, keeping Edgewood in the game down the stretch. He made two 3-pointers and had two steals before fouling out late in the game. “That’s who we’re going to be,” Free said. “We’re going to fight from the tip to the last horn. We’ve got a deep team that we can get guys in and rotate. We’ve got a talented and deep basketball team.” Bush and the Wildcats have struggled from the foul line, making just 57.4 of their free throws; Edgewood was 8 of 17 in the loss to Morgan. “I think when we get a little more into basketball shape, the free throws will come,” Free said. “I do think it is something that will come as the season moves on.” Edgewood finished below .500 last season but expects to be more competitive this season as the Wildcats dropped to AISAAA. “We’ll get it straight,” Bush said. “By February, we’re going to be a much better team than we are now. We’re taking it one game at a time but we’re looking to be a really competitive team in 2A.” Edgewood continues its season this week at the Springwood Thanksgiving Tournament.

Stanhope matches as much as he does later results. “The season really begins after Christmas,” Adams said. “By then, everyone’s weight has begun to stabilize, all wrestlers have had adequate mat time to gain experience and they are in wrestling shape. So the Barry Mask Tournament on Dec. 28 and 29 will be the first really good barometer to gauge our progress.” Adams said he hopes this season will relay a team concept to his wrestlers. No matter how much success each individual is having, the athletes are still part of the same team. “The individual goals must be encompassed within the team goals,” Adams said. “If each wrestler strives to maintain a level of consistency and excellence in a singular weight class, they become successful as a wrestler individually but more so as a valuable piece of a winning team.”

Alabama WFF closely monitoring Mississippi CWD cases By DAVID RAINER Department of Conservation and Natural Resources

While Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF) officials continue to do all they can to keep chronic wasting disease (CWD) out of Alabama, unfortunately the latest news from our neighbors in Mississippi is not good. Another deer in the lower Mississippi Delta in Issaquena County, a 2½-year-old doe, tested positive for CWD last week. The initial CWD case in Mississippi last January was also in Issaquena County, confirmed in a 4½-year-old buck. These are in addition to the Mississippi deer in a different county that tested positive for CWD about two weeks ago. A 1½-yearold buck tested positive in Pontotoc County in north central Mississippi, about 200 miles from the initial case. WFF Director Chuck Sykes is watching and analyzing all of these developments very closely. “These last two cases are concerning,” Sykes said. “Typically, you think of CWD as being found in older age-class males.” Also gaining Sykes’ full and immediate attention, the Pontotoc County CWDpositive deer was within 50 miles of Alabama’s border. “With the Pontotoc deer being within the 50-mile radius of Alabama, we’re doing exactly what we said we would do in our response plan,” Sykes said. The section of the Alabama CWD Response Plan (www.outdooralabama. com/deer-hunting-alabama/ chronic-wasting-diseasewhat-you-should-know) that deals with out-ofstate cases uses concentric circles around the positive test site in increments of 25 miles, 50 miles and more than 50 miles. With the case confirmed in Pontotoc County, portions of three counties in Alabama fall within the 50-mile-radius protocol — Franklin, Marion and Lamar counties. “We have met with DOT (Alabama Department of Transportation) engineers to help us in locating roadkilled deer that will be tested,” Sykes said. “Our technical assistance staff will continue their efforts in working with hunting clubs, taxidermists and meat processors in those counties to collect samples. “I don’t want people to panic, but they need to understand that we’re doing everything we can to keep it out of Alabama. The main thing I want to get across is that we are not targeting any one particular group. This is not a deer breeder versus a non-breeder. This is not a high fence versus a

no fence. This isn’t a dog hunter versus a stalk hunter issue. Honestly, this isn’t even just a hunting issue. This is an Alabama issue concerning the protection of a public-trust natural resource. We really need people to focus on facts about CWD, not what they hear about or read on Facebook.” Sykes said deer hunting is such a cherished thread that runs through Alabama’s heritage and way of life, any effect on that endeavor could have farreaching consequences. “Whether you hunt or not, the economic impacts of deer hunting generate more than $1 billion annually into Alabama,” he said. “In one way, form or fashion, most everybody in the state is positively impacted by deer hunting. So, we’re doing everything we can to keep it out of Alabama. “In the chance CWD gets here, we have a plan in place to mitigate the risk. It’s all in black and white on outdooralabama.com. What I need the public to know about this is that we have had a CWD response plan in place since 2012. It updates constantly, based on the latest scientific research. I have a whole team that works on this. It’s not done by one person behind closed doors in Montgomery. It’s done on a national level. We look at what works, what doesn’t work, what states have tried and what states have failed — the good, the bad and the ugly. This is a methodical process. Our plan is based on the latest nationwide scientific research.” Sykes said there is no way to know what will happen in Alabama if CWD is confirmed. “It’s hard to say how

Alabama will be impacted compared to other states,” he said. “Each state is different.” At a recent Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (SEAFWA) Law Enforcement Chiefs meeting, a conversation between WFF Enforcement Chief Matt Weathers and a member of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission highlighted the vulnerability of Alabama in this situation. “Northwest Arkansas has a high prevalence rate of CWD,” Sykes said. “Chief Weathers asked his Arkansas counterpart at SEAFWA how CWD was impacting their hunting licenses and budget. In Arkansas it isn’t a major concern because their agency gets one-eighth of 1 percent of sales tax. It does matter to us because we don’t get that. We can’t handle people not deer hunting, not eating deer meat and not buying hunting licenses. It will change the ability of our agency to manage and enhance wildlife and fisheries in Alabama forever. “I don’t want people to think we are never going to deer-hunt again, that all the deer in the state are going to die. That hasn’t been shown to happen in the CWD-positive states. However, they never go back to the same. We will have to adjust to a new normal. But, we want to prevent it as long as we can. In the event it does come here, we are fully prepared to address it to minimize the risk.” Alabama has tested more than 8,000 deer during the past 15 years, and no deer has tested positive for CWD.

“We don’t have our heads in the sand,” Sykes said. “We’re doing everything we can. That involves making rules and regulations that are, at times, unpopular. It’s been illegal to bring a live deer into Alabama since the early ’70s. However, we caught someone in 2016 bringing in deer from Indiana for breeding purposes. It’s been illegal to bring a carcass in from a CWD-positive state for three years. This year, we had to ban carcasses from every state. That’s an inconvenience on everybody, us included. A lot of us hunt out of state, so it’s impacting us as well. But it’s something we have to do to protect the natural resources of Alabama because not every state tests for CWD as judiciously as we do. “We had a joint law enforcement detail with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency along the Tennessee-Alabama state line on Sunday November 11th, checking for illegal carcasses being brought back into Alabama. We made six cases on hunters bringing back field-dressed deer into Alabama from Kansas and Kentucky. In all six arrests, the individuals knew it was illegal to bring the carcass through Alabama. In addition to violating Alabama law, they also violated Tennessee law. Several of the carcasses were destined for Florida, jeopardizing yet another state.” An old friend, Ronnie “Cuz” Strickland of Mossy Oak camouflage fame, has been directly impacted by the positive CWD test in Pontotoc County, Miss. Strickland has a farm in Lee County, Miss. “This is a black cloud, See DEER • Page B9

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your emotional nature will permit you to launch into action and handle a domestic problem. Stay detached from other personal issues. A partner could be diÉ&#x2030;cult.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be taken aback by a situation that forces you to deal with a unique issue. Ask questions, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll help center the people involved. Someone you deal with on a daily basis could be argumentative. Try not to get involved. Tonight: Out and about. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Buy a little token of appreciation for someone in your daily life. This person probably needs to feel valued. Unexpected developments are likely when dealing with money.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You easily could feel out of sorts, which could color what otherwise would be a wonderful, exciting day.

Tonight: Out on the town with friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your ability to take a stand and command a situation with ease marks your personality. You might want to recognize how much friction this could cause on the homefront. Recognize that your priorities will deĂ&#x201E;ne your limitations; follow them. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Assess the cost of a plan you are in the process of hatching. You could be taken aback by the Ă&#x201E;nancial implications, and you might want to back oÉ&#x2C6;. Be aware that while you are sensitive to someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mood, he or she might not be tuned in to yours. Tonight: Around good music. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A partner will push you beyond your limits. You might need to take a stand to let this person know that you have reached your boiling point. On the other hand, if you ignore him or her, ultimately the game will end -- just not immediately. Tonight: Make nice.

CWD is going to impact hunting in the South because of the wide range of reactions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On one end of the scale, you have people saying the sky is falling,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the other end of the scale, depending on who you talk to, they say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aww, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been around for a thousand years.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m assuming itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s somewhere in the middle as to where the truth lies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if people are taking this as seriously as I have.

Downey signs ECHSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first D1 baseball scholarship By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

For the first time ever, Elmore Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baseball team is sending a player to a Division I college. Last Thursday, Panthers pitcher Austin Downey signed his National Letter of Intent to pitch at Jacksonville State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means a lot,â&#x20AC;? Downey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully a couple more kids will be able to get signed next year, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting.â&#x20AC;? Downey transferred to ECHS from Glenwood three weeks into the 2018 season and immediately made an impact as a right-handed pitcher. He started in seven games, going 4-2 over eight appearances. He had one shutout, struck out 40 and posted a 1.875 ERA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a lot of arm,â&#x20AC;? Panthers coach Michael Byrd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to touch low 90s this spring, so velocity is a big part of it. But he mixes pitches. He throws a nice curveball and slider and mixes it up real well. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to just throw fastballs like a lot of pitchers in high school do. But the velocity and arm talent he has mixed with mobility, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll succeed.â&#x20AC;? Downey, who also plays basketball and football for the Panthers, was also a big contributor offensively during the 2018 season. He hit .289 with three doubles and nine RBIs. He also stole eight bases and recorded a .441 on-base percentage. Although Downey clearly had the talent to go Division I, he said the recruiting journey wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means a lot. Hopefully a couple more kids will be able to get signed next year, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Austin Downey Lizi Arbogast / The Herald

Elmore County pitcher â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was tough,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to a bunch of Jax State camps and went to a bunch of Division III camps as well. (Recruiters from Jacksonville State) came and watched me play a perfect game (over the summer), and they were there when I hit 89 (miles per hour). Then they got me on a visit and they offered me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just really liked it there. They have a whole new stadium. I liked the campus. I liked the kids. It seems like a lot of fun there, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready for it.â&#x20AC;? Byrd was obviously excited for Downey to be the first Division I recruit for the Panthers, but he said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a testament to how hard Downey has worked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big accomplishment for him and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also nice to have notoriety for the school,â&#x20AC;? Byrd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we have

a few more in the program thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be after him, but having someone do it now gets other people on campus noticed. I think there were about 35 that signed (with Division I schools) in the whole state, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like football where there are scholarships everywhere. These are rare and hard to come by.â&#x20AC;? And the expectations for Downey at the next level are extremely high. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a chance to go in and at least get in the rotation early, if not in the conference games, be a midweek starter for them,â&#x20AC;? Byrd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advanced pitching-wise. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a good feel for the game, and he pitches and understands how to get people out.â&#x20AC;?

Cord thanks many on behalf of humane society By REA CORD HSEC Executive Director

Thanksgiving feels so much earlier this year, but there is no better time for all of us to reflect on all that is good in our lives. As a non-profit organization, we are grateful and indebted to everyone who supports our work to help so many of Elmore County animals that need us. Our volunteer Board of Directors sets the standard for dedication and loyalty as they work diligently to ensure the long-term future of our shelter. While our staff works tirelessly seeing to the daily care of our pets, we can never thank all of our volunteers enough for all they do to help directly in the shelter, including in our Tails End Thrift Store, with our fund-raising events and activities, as loving fosters for our pets and so much more! We are also grateful to everyone who shares our adoptable pets on social media to help them find homes, who encourage others to adopt and support our work and who simply provide moral support for what can be very emotionally challenging work at times. Another group that is very much a part of our shelter world and deserving of thanks are our area animal control officers, who work tirelessly to protect the public and help animals in need. For all of us who love our pets there are times when no one is more important than our veterinarian, and we tip our hats to all veterinarians for working daily to educate pet owners and help pets live better and longer lives.

THE WETUMPKA HERALD

TheWetumpkaHerald.com

There are so many individuals, businesses, civic groups and media members who help us in so many ways and we truly appreciate how your work cascades our efforts to so many others. We are incredibly humbled as we work to be an important asset and resource for Elmore County citizens, leaders and pet families everywhere. A special thanks to those who give wonderful homes to our adopted pets and those who rescue pets in need. We are indebted to the public, who supports our mission directly and indirectly. Your moral support for the welfare of animals is important to all of us in the sheltering community and helps keep us going on the down days. For those we may never meet, but who love and care for your pets, keep them safe at home, make sure they are a part of your family and cherish them. Always, you have our utmost thanks, as you are the homes we strive for every day as we do adoptions. Our final and most heartfelt thanks go to all the wonderful animals that ask so little of us, but give so much in return. Our pets enhance our human lives in so many ways and we are grateful for the selfless love, joy and companionship they bring to our homes and families. We hope everyone has a family-filled Thanksgiving. So our staff can also enjoy some time with family, the shelter will be closed on Thursday and Friday, but will be back open on Saturday. Thanks to our dedicated volunteers, our Tails End Thrift Store will open for shopping on Friday and Saturday, so stop by for some always great deals! Happy Thanksgiving!

Veteran journalist Jimmy Wigfield, who has 43 years of experience at newspapers in Alabama, has been named the managing editor of The Alexander City Outlook and its affiliated weekly newspapers — including The Wetumpka Herald — owned by Tallapoosa Publishers, Inc. Wigfield, 57, a native of Bayou La Batre, Alabama, succeeds Mitch Sneed, who was killed in an automobile accident in July. “We are very fortunate to have a person of Jimmy’s background and education at Tallapoosa Publishers Inc.,” president/publisher Steve Baker said. “As we continue to enhance the newspaper, we needed someone with Jimmy’s experience and steady hand.” Wigfield began working for newspapers at age 13, when he Wigfield began writing for the Mobile County News. Afterward, he embarked on a 32-year career as a sportswriter, columnist and editor with the Mobile Press-Register. When the Press-Register was downsized along with the Birmingham News and Huntsville Times in 2012, Wigfield became editor of the weekly Call News, where he served three years. The Call News was named the most improved newspaper in the state in its class in 2013, Wigfield’s first year as editor. “I am happy to be in Alexander City and the surrounding area,” Wigfield said. “It’s a beautiful area of the state. Journalism is my calling. In communities such as ours, newspapers are extremely relevant parts of life and those of us at TPI are charged with positions of trust. We have a good team and we all care about the people in the areas we serve, so we want you to turn to us for the valuable information you need. We are working for you.” Wigfield has won numerous Associated Press and Alabama Press Association honors, including the APA’s Story of the Year in 2014, being named the APA’s top statewide columnist in 1994 and winning the AP’s top deadline writing award for the state in 1991. While serving as the assistant sports editor of the Press-Register, Wigfield helped supervise sections that were honored as the top 10 in the nation by the Associated Press Sports Editors. “Jimmy has lived and worked in Alabama for all of his life and knows and understands the people and the issues they face,” Baker said. “As we remake the digital presence of our newspapers, over the next several months, he is exactly the right person to lead us through these changes.”

They offer patients and their loved ones comfort, support and guidance when facing a terminal illness. Patients can receive care in their homes, in a nursing home, or in an assisted living facility. Families receive services during the care process and also

receive continued services after the death of a loved one. “Folks tell me all the time how great my staff is.

It is a wonderful service and I am so blessed to be a part of it,” Community Hospice Care director Kim Vest said. The Community Hospice Care team also consists of volunteers. The Heart of Hospice Volunteer Program provides local volunteers to work with patients and families in the home setting.
