‘Addiction is not a choice’ Alabama, Elmore County facing meth, opioid crisis

By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Staff Writer

Addiction is no stranger to Alabama, especially to the thousands of people who struggle with addictions to two of the state’s most common types of drugs:

opioids and methamphetamines.

During a 2013-2014 study by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services administration, more than 100,000 people over the age of 12 were reportedly abusing or depending on illicit drugs in Alabama.

But despite some common misconceptions, addiction is not a choice or the result of character weakness. Alabama Department of Mental Health Director of Substance Abuse Treatment and Development Nicole Walden See ADDICTION • Page A5

DID YOU KNOW? Alabama has the highest drug prescription rate in the country. It is almost twofold greater than the average U.S. rate of 79. See more addiction facts on Page A5.

ecently, it was a big day for Jennifer Bice. Her parental rights were reinstated through Alabama’s Department of Human Resources after her children were placed in a foster home due to her substance abuse.

“It’s been 19 months. It was supposed to be December but we don’t have to wait that long,” Bice said with a smile. “I’m so happy. I am also nervous, but I know God hasn’t brought me this far to let me go now.”

While this isn’t the first reunification for the family after a stay in foster care, Bice says it will be the last.

A Nu Direction provides addiction recovery for Elmore County

By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

Program Director Jasmine Bowman makes a point of telling every person who walks through the doors of A Nu Direction how proud she is of them.

Bowman said A Nu Direction, Elmore County’s only detoxification center, is one of the first steps for many people on their road to recovery. Bowman said patients older than 18 typically stay for five days.

“Before you can go to treatment, you have to have detox,” Bowman said.

“Treatment starts from the fiveday detox. Then you go into a 21-day program. From there, you gradually go up. Some places are three months, some places are six months and some places are a year.”

During detox, A Nu Direction Program Director Melissa Thompson said patients are guided through withdrawal symptoms. Oftentimes, Thompson said the process can be painful and require medical attention.

Currently, there are no inpatient or outpatient rehab centers in Elmore County after someone completes their stay at A Nu Direction. Bowman

said she typically refers them to several rehabilitation clinics in Montgomery. Thompson said both inpatient and outpatient rehab clinics serve to teach patients how to live sober lives.

Primarily, Thompson said she sees people who are struggling with addiction to methamphetamine combined with another substance.

“Because (meth) is such a short-acting type of drug, there’s not a lot of withdrawal symptoms there. I don’t see a lot of just meth in the back. I see a lot of meth combined with alcohol or meth combined with opioids,” Thompson said. “One brings you up and the other brings you down.”

Thompson speculated that the prevalence of meth in Elmore County stems from its easy accessibility, compared to other drugs.

“Elmore County is a relatively rural county. It’s not uncommon in more rural areas that meth is more prevalent.

It’s cheap, and in a rural area you might not have as high of a socioeconomic status,” Thompson said. “I think it’s all about supply and demand. Most people can scrounge up five bucks.”

Thompson said there is an ongoing initiative to educate primary care physicians on

signs on drug abuse in patients.

Currently, Thompson said doctors are required to report the prescription drugs the prescribe.

However, several medical professionals in the Montgomery area have recently been arrested and charged with over-prescribing opioid medication in a federal ‘pill mill’ investigation.

Thompson said the displaced patients associated with those physicians, both addicts and non-addicts alike, will have issues finding new doctors.

“When people call in with these new patient appointments, they look them up on a database to see what kind of patient they are,” Thompson said. “Those patients take an inordinate amount of time, because you might have to try and discuss with them why it isn’t correct to take eight Lortabs a day.”

Without access to opioid prescription medication, Thompson said many of them turn to harder drugs.

“We hate it when these pill mill docs are being shut down, not because we don’t think they should be out of practice, but because we know that patients are going to suffer,” Thompson said. “To my knowledge, there has not been a coordinated effort to take care of these

patients.”

Despite the fact that there are more meth users in Elmore County, Thompson said there are more local resources for those who are addicted to opioids.

“We know more about (opioids) because we know that a large part of prescription opioids. We have good treatment for that. What suboxone and methadone do is take the place of those opioids in your brain. When you’re taking that on a regular basis, you don’t have withdrawal symptoms,” Thompson said.

“We don’t have anything like that for meth that you can take pharmacologically that can help you with the cravings.”

Because there is no set medical solution for meth addiction, Thompson said recovery more difficult.

Recovery is not linear.

Despite their best efforts, Thompson said many people relapse after completing drug treatment. Typically, Thompson said people who don’t have access to medical care or a strong support system.

“We have people who have come through the program, who we know will be here three or four times a year,” Thompson said. “But you don’t ever give up on them, because you never

if this may be the time that they may be able to beat the addiction.”

However, Thompson and Bowman said all hope is not lost for residents who struggle with addiction.

“I know that people can learn to live with their addictions and have fruitful lives, even after burning lots of bridges,” Thompson said.

Bowman said A Nu Direction partners closely with Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, who regularly hold group sessions with the patients.

“They have one-hour group sessions with the patients to talk to them about their recovery, how they’re doing, how they’re maintaining sobriety,” Bowman said.

For many patients, Bowman said the knowledge that recovery is possible serves as encouragement.

“It feels good to know that someone like them is in the world,” Bowman said. “When they hear someone say, ‘I’m a recovering alcoholic. I go to work every day. I am involved with my children. I am able to lead a normal life now that I am sober,’ it makes the patient feel good. They know that, at the end of the tunnel, there is a light.”

Saxon voted onto Board Education via write-in vote

By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

A new member of the Elmore County Board of Education was elected through write-in votes during the Nov. 6 general election.

Wendell Saxon was elected to the position of Elmore County Board of Education member for District 2, which encompasses part of Wetumpka and Millbrook.

Saxon received 738 votes, incumbent board member Patrycya Tucker received 466 votes and ElWanda Penn received 305 votes.

“It really feels great that the people have that much confidence in me and that much respect for me,” Saxon said. “I’m looking forward to

rolling up my sleeves and getting to work.”

According to Elmore County Probate Office Chief Clerk Jacob Shamblin said no candidates had been formally certified for the race or listed on the initially printed ballots.

Because the county probate office was not notified of the seat vacancy until after ballots were printed, Shamblin said District 2 residents cast their votes on a separate ballot designated for that specific race.

While he was the principal of Wetumpka High School, Elmore County Public Schools Superintendent Richard Dennis said he met Saxon, who he described as a highly-involved parent.

“He did an exceptional job while

working with booster clubs and things that I had an opportunity to work with him on,” Dennis said.

“He’s a person of character, and obviously I think he’ll do a great job for Elmore County.”

Saxon said he first became aware that the seat was vacant in October, and spent about a week campaigning prior to his election.

Saxon said he has much admiration for Tucker, and hopes to continue the good work she has done while in office.

“I want to thank her for her service,” Saxon said. “I’ll be asking her for her knowledge and expertise.”

Dennis also thanked Tucker, who he said has been a great asset to the school board.

“I know that I’ll continue to see her,” Dennis said. “She (kept) me level-headed in meetings when people didn’t understand what was happening behind the scenes.”

A new representative on the BOE for District 3, which covers part of Holtville and Millbrook, was also elected. David Jones, who ran unopposed, will be replacing incumbent Mark Nelson.

“Mark has been here for quite some time, and has done a great job for Elmore County in that position,” Dennis said. “He’s ready to pass the torch to David, and I think David is ready to take it up.”

Dennis said Saxon and Jones will be recognized during a Nov. 27 board meeting.

Kay Ivey, our 55th governor

T

he legendary Alabama storyteller Kathryn Tucker Windham, used to say, “Alabama is like a big front porch.” She was right, I have found that to be the case my entire life. Even recently, as I’ve traversed the state, I am always amazed at how you can visit with someone in one part of the state who is kin to or were college roommates with someone in another corner of Alabama.

The Alabama that Kay Ivey and I grew up in was even more like a front porch. Ivey grew up in Wilcox County where her family had been for generations. Therefore, she knew most everybody in the county and Camden.

There were and still are less than 12,000 people in Wilcox County. There have always been more pine trees than people in the county.

She grew up with and has always been best friends with a trio of very accomplished people. As I sometimes say when I see someone who I’ve known all my life, I’ve never not known them. Ivey has never not known Jeff Sessions, Jo Bonner, and Judy Bonner. She was like a big sister to them growing up in Camden.

It’s truly amazing that a small South Alabama county just north of Mobile would spawn our U.S. Senator for 20 years, Jeff Sessions, Mobile Congressman Jo Bonner who served Mobile, Baldwin and southwest Alabama for more than a decade, and former University of Alabama President Judy Bonner, and now a Governor of Alabama, Kay Ivey. Even more amazing is that they grew up together and are contemporaries.

They all have impeccable southern manners and are

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist

all quick to say yes m’am, no m’am and thank you religiously. Some of you might think that Ivey’s Black Belt accent is accentuated.

It is real and unique and indicative of someone who has roots in that area of the state. You might notice that Sessions’ diction and accent is similar.

The most important thing that can be said about Ivey, Sessions, Jo Bonner and Judy Bonner is that you have never ever heard one comment or even one inkling of anything unethical or improper or taint of scandal about their public or personal lives. Folks, they were brought up right in Wilcox County.

Ivey was born to be a leader. She was president of everything in her high school. She went to Girl’s State and was a leader there.

By the way, she continues to go back to Girl’s State every year to counsel and help lead the organization.

She spent a short stint as a teacher, then banker in Mobile. Then politics beckoned and another Black Belt Speaker of the House Joe McCorquodale, made Ivey the reading clerk in the House of Representatives.

She parlayed that job into a job as legislative liaison for the Alabama Commission on Higher Education. I really got to know Ivey at this point. I was a legislator with a major university in my district. She was plain spoken, straight forward, and very honest.

Ivey has always been known for her integrity and upfront frankness and honesty. To use an old saying, her word is her bond. She will not lie and she will not cheat or steal. She was raised right.

Ivey then got into the arena. She was elected state treasurer twice where she served for eight years. Then she was elected lt. governor twice. She ascended to governor 20 months ago and has done an excellent job of steadying the ‘Ship of State.’

She seems keenly interested and driven by economic and industrial development. That will be her hallmark legacy.

The state is poised to grow economically and industrially over the next four years.

In the closing days of her very successful race to be Alabama’s 55th Governor, she revealed in an ad a letter from her days as a young girl visiting Governor Lurleen Wallace in the governor’s Office, a letter she had written about the governor’s desk. “This is the closest I’ll get.” However, deep down, I believe she dreamed that one day she would sit in that chair and now she does.

Ivey is the second female elected Governor of Alabama.

However, she is the first elected Republican female and the only female elected in her own right.

She will be a good governor. Probably the best we have had in a while.

See you next week.

Letter to the Editor

What happened to the caravan, Mr. Trump?

Dear Editor,

In the weeks leading up to the midterm election our Racist-in-Chief Donald Trump crossed the nation teaming up with his spineless Republican allies and the Fox News echo chamber to fear monger about the caravans of people coming from Central America to seek asylum.

During his rallies and in the press Trump and his allies demonized the approximately 7,000 migrants.

Trump, aided by conservative commentators and politicians, labeled the caravans “an invasion,” “a national emergency,” “an illegal alien mob,” “an attack on America” and a crisis with implications that are “critical to the future of

our civilization.” While most of the migrants are women and children, Trump claimed that “criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed” into the caravans.

It’s unclear what “unknown Middle Easterners” Trump appears to be referring to since there have been no reports, in the press or publicly from intelligence agencies, to suggest there are “Middle Easterners” embedded in the caravans.

Some guests on Fox broadcasts even claimed that the migrants would bring in diseases such as smallpox and leprosy (a classic xenophobic move). The truth is there is no smallpox in circulation anymore. That’s been true since 1980, when a major global vaccine effort wiped the virus from

the planet. The risk of leprosy — now called Hansen’s disease — being imported from Latin America is similarly remote.

For all the fearmongering Trump and his lackeys did before the midterm election, suddenly, the caravan issue quickly disappeared from the national conversation.

On Wednesday’s edition of Fox and Friends it was mentioned just once and Trump didn’t want to talk about it during the press conference.

Trump knows how to play to the racial anxiety of white America.

After years of stoking fears about the changing demographics of the United States, we will see his racist tactics again.

described addiction as a chronic disease.

“People don’t start out intending to become an addict. Addiction is not a choice,” Walden said. “It gets to the point where you’re not just taking it to get high or feel good, but you’re taking it just so you won’t feel bad.”

In addition to the devastation it causes on an individual level, Walden said crime rates increase, unemployment increases and the academic performance of students diminish in areas with a large amount of drug activity.

“Substance abuse affects everything we do, every day,” Walden said.

According to the Alabama Opioid Addiction Council, the number of drug overdose deaths in the state climbed 82 percent between 2006 and 2014.

That trend continues unabated. In 2016, the number of overdose deaths in the state was reported at 741.

The medical director of the A Nu Direction detox center, Melissa Thompson, said that because many overdose deaths go unreported, that number is likely higher.

“Unless, on the death certificate it says ‘opioid overdose,’ or ‘death due to amphetamines,’ it doesn’t fall out,” Thompson said. “I imagine it’s underreported because it’s not necessarily recorded correctly. If somebody dies of an opioid overdose, then they’re going to die from respiratory failure. That’s what you’re going to put on there, unless you’re keyed to remember to put the opioid stuff first.”

Recently, Alabama

officials have been more focused on the growing opioid crisis.

In 2017, Gov. Kay Ivey established the Alabama Opioid and Addiction Council to combat the growing threat of opioids.

However, Thompson said she is concerned that many people do not truly know what an opioid is.

“Opioids are prescription medicines like morphine, or the active ingredient on Lortab or Percocet or OxyContin. Those are considered opioids, and so is heroin. They’re all in the same family of our drugs and are metabolized in your brain very similarly,” Thompson said. “And then there’s that third category of fentanyl or carfentanil. It’s super potent and will kill you in a minute.”

Most drugs are categorized as either stimulants or depressants.

What makes opioids unique, Thompson said, is that they can act as either one, depending on who is taking them.

“Their Lortab may give them a charge and they can get things done,” Thompson said.

“Other people are maybe self-medicating for anxiety and they just want to get away from the world and shut down.

If they take the Lortab, it just kind of chills them out.”

The opioid crisis, Thompson said, is heightened by the growing threat of fentanyl, which she said is incredibly potent and dealers can lace other drugs with it.

“It’s 100 times more potent that morphine. It’s a powdered substance, so people will shoot it or they’ll put it in

something and smoke it.”

Thompson said. “You never know what’s in (drugs). Drug dealers are not benevolent people.

They are not looking out for you. They just want to pad their pockets with cash.”

Thompson said meth initially became prevalent in the late 1990s or early 2000s. Typically, she said meth is more common in rural areas because of how cheap it is to manufacture and purchase.

“Most often, people smoke it, but you can also use an IV. Because it’s cheap, it’s more popular in the younger crowd,” Thompson said. “I think what is so enticing about meth is that it does give you energy. It increases your focus, your concentration. You can get more things done when you’re sped up.”

While meth is very easy to cook, Thompson said statistics have indicated its use has gone down due to the heavy regulation of one of its main ingredients: pseudoephedrine.

“They’ve taken that one part out that folks used to make so much, and now it’s just a little bit more difficult to do that,” Thompson said. “If you have a cold and you want to get Sudafed from Walmart, it’s behind the counter, and you have to show your driver’s license, and you have to sign something and you can only buy a certain quantity. It’s really restricted.”

Far too often, Thompson said she has seen those addictions paired with alcohol abuse.

“Sometimes we forget about alcohol when

prescriptions were written, leading to an estimated

120 opioid prescriptions per 100 persons.

While an addiction to opioid medication often begins with a visit to a doctor, it can lead to an unassuming addict down a slippery slope into illegal drug use.

Illustration / Santana Wood

Years ago, drug addiction was not a common topic in the average U.S. household. Today, however, addiction affects almost every household in America either directly or indirectly. Because addiction often begins with a written prescription from a licensed doctor, anyone including parents, children, aunts, uncles and even grandparents are susceptible to substance abuse.

said the illegal drug that plagues Elmore County the most is meth.

Franklin recounted an incident earlier this year when a deputy was hospitalized after a then-unknown liquid substance was spilled on his forearm from evidence he had confiscated during an arrest.

Initially, Franklin said they thought the officer had come into contact with an opioid-based substance, but tests later revealed that he had been exposed to meth that had been dissolved in Mountain Dew. “The pathologist said it was not a far stretch for an amphetamine to be absorbed into the body in that manner,” Franklin said.

Elmore County Drug Task Force Sgt. Luke Reaves speculated that the area’s low population might limit the trafficking of opioids.

ECSO Investigator Chris Ogden said there have

we’re talking about the opioid crisis. Alcohol use disorder is still alive and well in Alabama,” Thompson said.

Additionally, Walden said mental illness can often go hand-in-hand with addiction. Some people use drugs to alleviate the symptoms of their mental health issues, Walden said, while drug addiction can be the cause of mental health issues in others.

Thompson said about 50 percent of the people who check into A Nu Direction are struggling with alcoholism, 25 percent are addicted to stimulants and about 25 percent are addicted to opioids. Oftentimes, Thompson said patients struggle with addiction to more than one substance.

“What I see is a lot of alcohol and crack cocaine, and then there usually is quite a bit of alcohol and benzos,” Thompson said.

For the most part, Sheriff Bill Franklin

been drug-related deaths over the years, but not many.

A report released by the Alabama Department of Public Health stated that there were 20 drugrelated deaths and 12 alcohol-related deaths in Elmore County between 2009 and 2011.

While many view the stereotypical drug addict as homeless, poor, uneducated or irresponsible, A Nu Direction Program Director Jasmine Bowman said addiction can take hold of anyone.

“There are doctors, nurses, private investigators, police officers and teachers. A lot of people have a lot of problems, and it just depends on how they handle the problem and if they’re ready to get help,” Bowman said.

“There are people that you see every single day, and you don’t know that they go home and drink three bottles of wine. It can affect anybody.”

impersonators, watch demonstrations and participate in activities that were reflective of life between 1700 and 1820. “During that time frame is when we have a very interesting period of history,�

Park Director Ove Jensen said. “The French arrived in 1717, and with that, we begin to have sort of an international district. They’ll live here as neighbors with people called the Alabamas, who are part of the Creek confederacy.�

While he primarily sees visitors from elementary

schools, Jensen said he has seen an increasing number of middle and high schools bring students each year.

Nowadays, Jensen said state history is part of the curriculum for Alabama fourth graders, and they are hoping to give them a clearer view of Alabama’s settlement period. “One of our most popular demonstrations, for example, is the blacksmithing demonstration. If they ever read a story about a blacksmith or someone shoeing a horse, they have seen what goes into making

that metal object,� Jensen said. “Sometimes, history can be dry in a classroom, coming out of a book. This will make it come alive and jump off the page.�

Wales Ferry Road Elementary School third grader Sammaria Davis said her favorite part of the event was the cannon firing reenactment. “It’s so loud, and it’s really, really big,� Sammaria said. “It’s cooler than a bazooka.�

Reenactor Al Bouler, who has played the role of Davy Crockett, remarked on how

unique of an event Alabama Frontier Days is. “When I was a little kid, we didn’t have any reenactments that I knew of,�

Bouler said. “Television was my focal point into history, as well as reading any book I could get ahold of.�

Throughout the week, Bouler said he has seen Alabama Frontier Days instill a love of history in some visitors. “This brings history to life.

A lot of people today are trying to erase that history, and it’s important to preserve it,� Bouler said. “I think it

makes them interested in history. One might become a reenactor later in life. You just don’t know.�

Over the years, Jensen said he has seen Alabama Frontier Days grow extremely popular and become an event that many schools look forward to attending. “We have people who came to this event as children who have grown up and become teachers and are not bringing their students,�

Jensen said. “I feel very safe in saying that this is the largest living history event in the state.�

Overcome first time was in 2016.

Then in March of 2017, I lost the kids to DHR again. This time they are coming home for good.�

Bice’s children were lucky because when DHR stepped in they had extended family that who was willing to open their doors to them. “Both times, thank God, my ex-brother-inlaw _ I guess he felt it in his heart _ came and picked them up and he kept them,� she said.

Once Bice’s children were placed in the care of DHR, she was given a set of ultimatums that

continued from page A1

would prove difficult to follow. “They gave me 30 days to enlist in a program,� she said. “I ended up going to Naomi’s House, in Lanett. I stayed for three days and left in the middle of the night walking, thinking ‘this is not for me. I don’t have a drug problem.’ I was still in denial. The courts told me I had to go back or lose my rights and on that 29th day I decided I had to do it.�

Overcoming addiction has been a struggle for Bice but with the help

and support of a local church she has made great progress. “I started attending Living Water right before I went. A lot of people doubted me but I told them, ‘God’s got me and I am going to be able to overcome this.’�

Bice says her relationship with God and religion are what she has leaned on and continues to lean on for support. “Without God and that church, I may not have made it,� she said. “They laid their hands on me and I have never felt anything like that freedom. Ever since that day I have not even had an urge for anything.

Something happened inside me. I was shaking and crying. I opened up and let Him have it.

It was right after that that I entered the rehab program.�

Substance abuse began when Bice was an adolescent and throughout life it grew

into a deadly addiction. “My addiction started when I was twelve and it progressed. I drank and smoked weed and that’s the gateway that leads to stronger things but meth is what got me.

Looking back it felt like it happened overnight.

Looking ahead I know I can’t do that anymore.

I remember going 21 days without eating or sleeping. Only by the grace of God am I still alive.�

Bice said she, like so many others, became addicted to meth after taking prescription pain pills. However, her drug of choice became too expensive to maintain so she shifted to using meth because it offers a more affordable high. “The doctors stopping writing so many prescriptions and people who were prescribed them were selling them for $10-$15 or $20 a pill.

Not only was meth cheaper than Bice’s drug of choice, it also was more readily available. “It was a lot easier to get.�

Throughout her addiction, Bice said she never physically harmed or abused her children but she regrets some of the choices she made while she was under the influence. “I can’t say I didn’t neglect my kids because emotionally I did,� she said. “I look back now and I see stuff, like the way I would talk to them.

And I stayed in my room a lot.�

Meth has become a common drug in most towns and cities both big and small. It can affect anyone from any background and often those around a user are not aware of the severity of the addiction. “I hid it well,� she said. So many people have said they never even knew.�

Drug addiction often masks other underlying problems; some seek relief from physical pain and others seek relief from emotional pain.

“I think it differs from person to person,� Bice said. “For some people it’s recreation and for others, there is something that drives the addiction.�

Through rehab and regular involvement with her church, Bice says he identified some of the underlying issues that drove her to use. “It was a bunch of things. It was like a domino effect from being molested as a child to losing my mom.�

Now that Bice is able to better understand what was driving her addiction, she is able to control her reactions to stressful or emotional situations in a positive way, whereas in the past that same situation may have triggered her to use.

Bice has been through a lot to get her children back. She recently started college and is studying to be a nurse. She also recently bought a home of her own and while she has come a long way she says her and her children’s future will only get better. “People tell me that they are proud of me, but I’m not even done yet,� she said.

HITTING THE COURTS Replacing top scorer key for Wetumpka

By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Last season was not one to remember for the Wetumpka girls basketball team.

Wetumpka finished the season 4-16, losing nine of its final 10 games, and averaged just 27.7 points per game.

Among Wetumpka’s few bright spots from last season was guard Tyauna Ferguson.

After graduating, Ferguson signed an athletic scholarship at North Alabama and now leaves the Wetumpka team with an even more limited offense.

“It’s always hard to replace a kid who’s been your leading scorer for the last three years and averaging 20-plus points per game,” Wetumpka coach Jermel Bell said. “You try to find different ways to replace that by making it more team oriented.”

Bell will be looking to his three returning starters for a bulk of his offensive production but he said the team will also be getting a boost from players entering new roles.

Senior Cieria Edwards missed all of last season with an injury but will return as one of the key players in the post for Wetumpka. She has not played a game since her sophomore year but Bell said Edwards will have a big impact this season.

“She tore her ACL last summer so she was a big hurt for me last year,” Bell said.

“She’s back and healthy. She’s our anchor and leader on defense. I’m expecting great

things out of her this year.”

Bell is expecting sophomore Cederia Dennis to take over the point guard duties this season. Dennis was the backup last season but will be seeing a lot more minutes this year.

Bell said Dennis has the capability of taking the team to the next level.

“We’re going to be team focused and team oriented,” Bell said. “Everyone is playing See GIRLS • Page A10

After losing just two players from last season’s team, Wetumpka looks set to compete for a spot in the state tournament again this season. However, the team will have to start the year without several key players because of injuries and football playoffs.

Wetumpka has 12 players on its varsity boys roster this season and five of them are currently preparing for the second round of the playoffs with the football team. Two others are excepted to be out for the season due to injuries.

“We have to work with what we have and what

we have is a lot of young talent,” Wetumpka senior David Gray said. “We have a lot of guys that are ready to play and ready to get out there and have a winning season.”

Wetumpka will be pulling up from its JV roster for the first few games of the season. The varsity squad already has four sophomores and two freshmen so Wetumpka will be sporting one of the youngest teams across the state in Class 6A but Wetumpka coach Derrick Powell is not worried.

Powell said he saw a lot from the underclassmen during summer workouts and he expects it to pay off on the court this season.

on’t get me wrong — I’m all for protecting players’ safety.

There’s nothing more gutwrenching when covering a high school sporting event than seeing a kid laid out on the ground with an injury or writing a story about a senior who just had his season cut short because he was hurt while playing the game he loves.

That being said, there’s also something of an intrinsic risk to playing sports. If you take on that risk, you pretty much know what you’re getting yourself into.

And there’s really no avoiding it, regardless of the sport.

Some would say baseball players have a lower risk because it’s a noncontact sport, but I’ve seen some pretty nasty injuries at baseball games and countless pitchers have been plagued by elbow and shoulder ailments.

Most people these days are terrified of allowing their kids play football. Concussions and head injuries are a scary thing, for sure, and I have no problem with league administration coming up with rules

Nothing ever comes easy during the playoffs but that has been taken to another level this week as Wetumpka prepares for the second round. With a trip to HillcrestTuscaloosa looming Friday night, Wetumpka has been forced to take their preparation indoors because of constant rain this week.

“We’d love to get outside but we can’t control the weather,” Wetumpka coach Tim Perry said.

“It’s tough because obviously the players don’t want to be inside; the coaches don’t want to be inside. This isn’t an inside sport but you can’t get a lot done outside other than get players sick and slide around.”

Despite the rainy week, Wetumpka is still one of the final 16 teams remaining in Class 6A. The team will hit the road to take

on a Hillcrest team looking for revenge.

Hillcrest (6-5) was knocked out in last year’s semifinal game at Wetumpka. The Patriots have suffered through an up and down season this year but getting another chance at the team which eliminated them a year ago will likely bring some extra energy.

“The coaching staff up there is probably going to use the defeat in the semifinals last year,” Perry said. “Use all of the revenge and second chance and rally around all of that. We’ve made our guys aware of that.”

Even with that on the minds of the players, Perry wants his team to understand it is not the same team they faced last season. Perry said what worked last year may not work again this year. And the biggest difference may be where the game is being played.

Wetumpka defense stepping up after Darren Nolen’s injury

By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Wetumpka has had to fight off the injury bug all season long but the team took another hit at the worst possible time.

Senior Darren Nolen was injured in the final game of the regular season and the team had to respond with the postseason on the horizon.

“It’s very difficult to replace a quality player like Darren,” Wetumpka coach Tim Perry said. “You can’t just plug another player in. A lot of our guys who have stepped in are doing an admirable job.”

Perry and his coaching staff used the off week at the end of the regular season to find a solution to the problem.

Wetumpka wanted to add more depth to some of the pass rushing positions so players began to play on both sides of the ball.

“We used that off week to evaluate our team and find guys to play on both sides of the ball in the playoffs,” Perry said. “That contributed to our ability on defense and to try to fill that void so we will continue to do that.”

Wetumpka’s defense held Daphne to 14 points Friday night. The team combined for eight tackles for a loss and held the Trojans to 3 yards or less on 18 plays. Terrance Thomas, P.J. Lucas and Dennis Marshall all recorded

Wetumpka’s Darren Nolen (7) was an integral part of the defense this year, but the Indians haven’t missed a beat without him.

a sack.

Thomas usually plays on the offensive side of the ball for Wetumpka but Perry wanted to use his speed as an edge rusher. His lone sack of the game came early in the first quarter on a third down play. He dropped the Daphne quarterback for a 13-yard loss to force a punt, setting up Wetumpka’s first score of the game.

“I enjoy anything that can help my team out,” Thomas said. “When you make a tackle, it’s a way different feeling from a touchdown. It’s more exciting. I just like the

contact.”

Senior Kamyron Jackson, one of Nolen’s close friends on the team, has been one of the players stepping up. During Wetumpka’s first round win over Daphne, Jackson recorded 2.5 tackles for a loss and batted down a pass at the line of scrimmage. And he did all of it while wearing Nolen’s No. 7 jersey.

“We grew up together and have been playing together since we started,” Jackson said.

“Knowing it is his senior year and he had to end like this, I am going to do it for him. I told him he was always going

to be with me on the field.

“When I asked him, he said, ‘You better do something with it.’ I felt like I got a little faster and stronger from it. I felt good tonight.”

Perry said Jackson came to the coaching staff with the idea. He said that kind of unity and willingness to play for each is what makes Wetumpka football special.

“That’s what makes our team so special,” Perry said.

“They think of that on their own. That’s just the love they have for each other and the bond we have as a football team.”

Indians

continued from page A7

All five of Hillcrest’s regular season wins came at home this season. The Patriots did not win a road game until last week’s 10-3 win at Sidney Lanier in the first round of the playoffs. Hillcrest has outscored its opponents by 21.2 points per game at home this season.

“We have not played very well on the road this year, especially when we’ve gone on longer trips,” Perry said. “Teams in the playoffs, especially the second round, are very good teams. It doesn’t matter how many losses they had in the regular season. Hillcrest is playing very well right now.”

Wetumpka has seen some struggles on the road but still have a 4-2 record when playing away from Hohenberg Field. The team has already taken long road trips to Northview, Muscle Shoals and Jacksonville. Perry believes those games will help the team handle this week’s trip to Tuscaloosa.

“I think the key is the experience,” Perry said. “This group is a very smart group and have figured out what has caused our lack of performance in those long trips. And hopefully, that experience will have helped prepare them for this trip.”

During the first round, Wetumpka appeared to be playing at a high level once again. The 49-21 win over Daphne was the team’s second largest margin of victory of the season and largest since Week 2.

Perry said he believes his team is in a good position to make a run into the postseason again.

“We had a great week of preparation and that culminated with the way we played,” Perry said. “We feel like we’re in a good spot but now the challenge is to maintain that level and repeat what we did last week.”

Elmore County Player of the Week

Thomas shines in expanded role

By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Wetumpka had to find a quick solution to fill the defensive production left because of the injury to outside linebacker Darren Nolen. During the team’s bye week, the coaching staff searched for a solution and it found one from one of the team’s top playmakers.

Entering the first-round matchup with Daphne, junior Terrance Thomas had made plays in several aspects of the game. He had scored a rushing touchdown, a receiving touchdown, a kickoff return for a touchdown and a blocked punt.

On Friday night, Thomas was given a new responsibility and he made the most of it. He was a part of the team’s dominant pass rush performance against

“I saw an opportunity and took it,” Thomas said. “You never know if there will be a next time so you have to take the opportunity.”

Thomas finished the night with 153 rushing yards on just nine carries.

He will continue to be used on both sides of the ball as long as Wetumpka is in the playoffs. Thomas hopes being on the field will keep him fresh and he can use the momentum from the first round into bigger performances in the postseason.

“We have a week to prepare now and we have time to fix anything,” Thomas said. “We have great bonding on our team so that can take us a long way.”

Indians anglers finish first at fishing tourney

Zaxby’s Indians win narrow championship victory Wetumpka YMCA’s third- and fourth-grade Zaxby’s Indians team won its championship game, 14-12, at Cramton Bowl on Nov. 3. The Indians finished with a season record of 5-2 and won first place in their division. Team members included Swayze Martin, DeMarcus Kendrick, Kingston Johnson, Dalton Stephens, Isaiah Harris, Reid Blackwell, T.J. Watson, Noah Britt, Emrson Paulk, Graydon Culver, Mark Nixson, Jorden Gray, Pruitt Busler, Cyrus Bullock, Christian Loftin, Baker Pouncey, Cooper Wilson, Tristan Spence, Kylelin Caldwell, Jaxson Page, Reid Blackwell, Hayes Mann and Nick Redmon. The Indians were coached by head coach Brent Watson and assistants Xavier Harris, DeMarcus Kendrick, Brad Martin and Al Watson.

Teams from across the state arrived at Lake Jordan on Saturday morning to get out on to the cold waters for the Alabama Student Angler Bass Fishing Association. After spending roughly 10 hours on the lake, Wetumpka’s twoman team of LJ Harkless and Jay Shipp took home the first-place prize.

The two seniors caught eight total fish for a total weight of 23.09 pounds. They caught more than eight pounds more than the second place team.

“It was very cold this morning but it turned out pretty good,” Harkless said. “Jay showed out today and did all his business in the morning and then I got my three later in the day. We knew we pretty much had it.”

Shipp said it was their second win of the season after winning a tournament earlier in the season at Eufala. He said being able to be on Lake Jordan gave the team a big advantage for the day but fighting the cold was still a challenge.

“It’s a definite advantage because we come out here every day after school,” Shipp said.

“Once that sun got up and got comfortable, it was fun but the fish started biting really early.”

Holtville’s Michael Cannon and Daleton Brown finished as the second place boat. They were the only other team to reach double digits on the scale, catching 15.02 pounds.

Bulldogs use 2018 season to set new standard

By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Holtville started this season by winning its opening game for the first time since 2009. The Bulldogs continued breaking the negative streaks haunting the program, capping the season with the team’s first playoff appearance since that same year.

“They just came in every day and worked,” Holtville coach Jason Franklin said. “I don’t care what you’re doing; to have success, you have to get up to work every day and give your best effort and they did that.”

Franklin finished his second season at Holtville. The Bulldogs have now won a total of nine games during his two years which was four more victories than the previous six seasons combined.

“I’ll always be in debt to this group of seniors,” Franklin said.

“They all came out my first year and bought into what we were selling. They were able to get the program back in the right direction after some lean years. Now we’re expecting to keep rising and keep moving forward.”

Holtville outscored its opponents by 11.8 points per game this season.

The 130-plus point margin was the team’s largest point differential since 1982.

Franklin said the team worked hard to earn its success this season.

Throughout the season, Holtville won its first region game since 2013, defeated Marbury for the first time since 2009 and finished with seven wins for the first time since 2010.

“It shows their character and how much they wanted to be successful,” Franklin said. “They wanted to break the mold of what Holtville had been. Now we have to work even harder. Don’t be content in making the playoffs for the first time in however many years; let’s

go do it again.”

Holtville was forced to respond to adversity early in the season when starting quarterback Drake Baker went down with an elbow injury, forcing him to miss seven games.

Franklin said the Bulldogs had to deal with several injuries throughout the season but the team built enough depth to fight through it.

“They never flinched,” Franklin said. “I say it in practice that you could be one play away from being a starter so you should prepare like a starter. We had a lot of guys do that and pushing each other to get on the field. I think that helped us to improve.”

Sophomore Braxton Buck stepped into the quarterback role and threw for 173.8 yards per game. He finished the season with 25 touchdowns to just seven interceptions.

Dajon Reeves finished his career as the team’s leading receiver.

Reeves had 37 receptions for 743 yards and 11 touchdowns this season. Seniors Drew Nobles and JaDarius Carter took on a lot of the

remainder load, combining for 831 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns.

The Bulldogs used a variety of rushers in the backfield, finishing with four different players with at least 100 rushing yards. Alex Gibbons led the way with 607 yards and six touchdowns on the year.

“The offensive line, as a group, was a great improvement,” Franklin said. “We were able to run the ball more and sustain drives. We didn’t have to rely on the big play as much as last season.”

Holtville was most improved on the defensive side of the ball.

After allowing 40.3 points per game during the 2017 season, the Bulldogs forced their opponents into three shutouts. Holtville finished the season allowing 205 points, its lowest total since 2009.

“It’s just a process of setting this precedent going forward now,” Franklin said. “We’ve been there now, we’ve had success. But don’t be content with having a little bit of success. Getting to the first round isn’t good enough anymore so now we have to improve on that.

Wetumpka senior Cory Anthony saved his best performance for his final high school race.

Racing against 231 other runners in the Class 6A division, Anthony set a personal and school record by running the 5K race in 16:04.23. The time was good for second place as Anthony finished in the top three at state for the second time in his career.

“It really was special,” Anthony said.

“I knew it would be an intense race with (first place runner) Will (Stone). I hadn’t been running as well all year and had some lower finishes so I was satisfied with this one.”

Stone was the top runner in 6A this season and finished 38 seconds ahead of Anthony. After the meet, Anthony said having someone in front of him helped push him to have his best run.

“As long as I could see him, I would pick up my pace,” Anthony said. “I lost him near the end of the race and I probably slowed down a bit but I would say seeing him in a race helps me.”

Wetumpka coach Jessica Holbert said Anthony may have been able to get his time under 16 minutes if Stone had still been in his sights. Anthony said he hopes to shave off a few more seconds to get below 16 minutes before committing to a college.

“I have no doubt he

Wildcats respond to adversity with successful season Arbogast

By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Edgewood entered the 2018 season with more than one doubt around the football program.

The Wildcats had lost 20 consecutive games and saw three head coaches in a span of two months before the season began.

However, Edgewood’s players responded in a big way, winning eight games in a season for the first time since 2015.

The Wildcats finished second in the region and made it to the semifinals of the AISA-AA playoffs before falling to Escambia, the defending champions.

“I felt like we had a special season, especially with the adversity that the kids faced over the past couple of year,” Edgewood coach Darryl Free said. “They did a great job of buying into what we were selling them as a coaching staff.”

The Wildcats finished the season 8-4 and finished with a point differential of plus118. That mark was a big change after being outscored by their opponents by 555 points over the last two seasons.

Free came on as the interim coach during the summer but stayed in charge for the entire season. Edgewood’s play on the field surprised many people around the state and it even came as a bit of surprise to Free.

“I knew we would be able to have some success but I didn’t see it coming the way it did,” Free said. “I knew we had an opportunity to have a good football

Edgewood’s Kolby Potts (6) rushed for multiple touchdowns in six of the team’s 12 games this season.

team. We had some key guys really buy in to what we were trying to do and once that happened, we were able to achieve some success.”

A lot of the success came from the leadership of two seniors on the roster. Tyler Abernathy and Hunter Bowdoin played on both sides of the ball and the coaching staff continued to rave about what the two players did for the team throughout the season.

“We talked about how much we owe our seniors,” Free said.

“They showed this junior class how to lead and now it’s their job to

keep that cycle going.

Hopefully they’ll take that mindset into next season.”

The two seniors will be missed next season but the Wildcats are left in the hands of a talented group of juniors and sophomores. Kolby Potts has been leading the way for Edgewood this season and should continue to have a key role moving forward.

Potts was the team’s top running back this season. He finished with 1,360 yards on the year, scoring 16 touchdowns in 12 games. He ran for at least 100 yards in seven games this season, including rushing for a

season-high 286 yards in the team’s final game.

“Kolby Potts was our workhorse for the year,” Free said. “He was reliable and he was going to give you his best every time he stepped on the field. We knew he was one of those guys we could lean on every single game and all the way down the stretch.”

The offense got big production from firstyear quarterback Alex Johnson. The sophomore won the starting job during the offseason and quickly developed into one of the team’s best offensive players.

The Wildcats thrived when Johnson was playing at his best. In the team’s eight wins, Johnson completed 64 percent of his passes and threw for 847 yards to go along with 11 touchdowns and just one interception.

“Alex was probably our most improved player for the year,” Free said.

“He bought in to learning his position and putting in extra work after practice. He developed into a leader for us.”

Free is still unsure if he will stay on as the full-time football coach going forward. He said the talks will happen over the next few weeks as he finds time between coaching the boys basketball team.

It may take more time for Edgewood to return to another state title but the Wildcats made strides this season that very few people expected to see.

This year was a major step for Edgewood and the team is set up to continue to compete in the future.

will have success no matter where he goes,” Holbert said. “He has that inner drive and he has the want to be better than he was yesterday.”

Anthony was not the only Wetumpka runner to have a big day. His performance led the boys team to a 12th place finish out of 23 total teams at the 6A level.

Senior Aaron Foster had the best run of his career and finished third on the team for the first time this season. Foster placed 83rd overall, finishing just ahead of teammate Jackson Walden.

As a team, Wetumpka finished with an average running time of 17:55.

That was the ninth fastest average among 6A teams and was just four seconds off of the team’s sixth place finish from 2016.

Sophomore Hannah Bunn-Munck led the girls team. She finished 70th overall and ran the race in 22:24.58.

All five of Wetumpka’s girls set personal records in the 5k race.

Despite not qualifying as a team, Wetumpka had enough individuals qualify for the state meet to place in the team standings.

Wetumpka finished 15th overall out 22 teams and finished with an average run time of 23:08.

Stanhope Elmore’s Freddy Patton also qualified for the state meet as an individual and set a new personal record on Saturday. His time of 17:51.33 beat his old record by more than 10 seconds.

and strategies to try to cut down on those types of injuries.

But there’s trying to cut down and there’s taking it too far.

The rule about no hits on defenseless receivers makes perfect sense. A guy who has left his feet to make a catch should not have unnecessary contact made against him.

In 2005, the NCAA made all helmet-to-helmet hits illegal, intentional or not. Think about that.

While a player is trained to tackle correctly and wrap up the waist rather than the shoulder, it’s almost impossible to entirely avoid all helmet-tohelmet contact. It’s football after all.

The reason I bring all this up is to take a look at Thursday night’s ejection of Carolina Panthers safety Eric Reid for a hit on Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

I’ll admit I’m not a fan of Roethlisberger, but looking at this completely objectively, Roethlisberger elected to tuck and run. He did so knowing he’d be running straight up the middle — he wasn’t being chased out of bounds. When a quarterback decides to run, he becomes a running back, plain and simple.

Looking at this quickly and in the moment, it looks bad for Reid. While Roethlisberger was already in the middle of his slide, Reid lowered his shoulder into Big Ben’s helmet while he was going to go down anyway.

But in Reid’s defense, this all happened within literally a split second. All football plays happen so quickly, and players are trained to “see ball, get ball.” Also, it’s not like Roethlisberger was in midfield; the Steelers were in the red zone, and a defense’s job is to make sure the other team doesn’t score.

There was also pretty clearly no intent behind Reid’s hit. He didn’t make contact after Roethlisberger was already down; he also didn’t elongate contact.

Moreover, he distinctly apologized to Roethlisberger immediately following the incident.

I can understand a penalty for Reid, but an ejection seems unnecessary and over the top.

“It was a bang-bang play,” Reid told ESPN. com. “I was trying to do my job. I understand the NFL is trying to protect the quarterback, but when they run the ball, they’re a running back. There’s a guy running, so I’m doing my job. … I’m running full speed. I’m just trying to do my job.”

The point in all this is in order to keep football thriving, it’s important to try to maintain a level of safety for the players. But football is football, and it’s not an easy game to play.

Holtville prepares to take next step

By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Michael Collins is entering his second season as the head coach of the Holtville boys basketball team and is setting high expectations for the Bulldogs this season. Holtville has fallen in the second round of the area tournament in backto-back seasons but the team seems prepared to take the next step in 2018.

“I always have high expectations for my team,” Collins said. “We have a chance to be as good as Holtville has been in a long time. We could make a mark on 4A this year.”

The Bulldogs had their first full practice on Monday after the football season ended last week. Because the football team’s season was extended a week due to the postseason, Holtville cancelled its season opener at Horseshoe Bend on Thursday.

The team will now have two complete weeks of practice

Mustangs of a three-way tiebreaker to Wetumpka and Opelika.

Despite the disappointment in the playoffs, Stanhope still finished with a positive point differential for the first time since 2012. After being outscored by 11.6 points per game last season, the Mustangs saw more blowouts go their way. Stanhope outscored their opponents by a total of 34 points across the 11 games.

The biggest difference came on the offensive side of the football. The Mustangs scored 115 more points in the same number of games as last season. Stanhope was held to seven points or less four times in 2017 but they scored more than seven points in all 11 games this year.

Kerenski McGhee and Jeremy Powers split time at the quarterback position as both players dealt with injuries throughout the season. Both players brought explosiveness to the offense.

The team scored at least 28 points in six games this season.

Stanhope built a reputation for its defensive line throughout the state. After dominant performances early in the season against teams like Prattville and Benjamin Russell, the team saw some fallout as the season

continued.

After allowing 45 total points in the team’s first four games, the Mustang defense saw some struggles to close out the season. Stanhope allowed 45.3 points per game in the team’s three losses to Shades Valley, Opelika and Saraland.

The team’s defense was still behind two of the most memorable performances of the season for the Mustangs.

Despite giving up 28 points and over 400 yards to Wetumpka’s high-powered offense, it was the Stanhope defense which made the plays to pull off the upset of the season. Two fumble returns for touchdowns by Theodore Jackson Jr. and Marlon Hunt gave Stanhope the 34-28 win over then-No. 1 Wetumpka.

Stanhope capped off its regular season with a 33-9 win over Greenville. The Mustangs limited the highpowered Class 5A offense to its lowest point total of the season.

Stanhope will lose 14 seniors from this year’s squad but should have plenty of contributors returning next season. Coach Brian Bradford is now 11-11 in his two seasons at the helm and will be hoping the results continue to improve next year.

into basketball shape before the season begins.

“That’s the biggest challenge for us,” Collins said. “There’s a big difference in football

shape and basketball shape.

We just had our first full practice so we’re trying to work conditioning into everything we do.”

Four of the team’s expected starters for this season were also on the football team. Drake Baker led the team in scoring last season but an injury to his right elbow was expected to threaten his time on the court this year.

However, after returning to the football field in the final two weeks of the season, Collins said Baker will be on the court to start the season. Collins said the coaching staff was still keeping a close eye on Baker but he’s at 95 percent entering practice.

Baker will be the team’s starting center this season, moving into a vacant role. He is listed at 6-foot-4 but Collins said his speed will be used just as much as his size.

“We like to speed up the game and force other teams to play our speed,” Collins said.

“If there is going to be a weak link in playing tempo, it’s typically the big man. But with us, Drake is probably one of the three fastest guys on our team.”

Junior Jackson Hand and sophomore Braxton Buck will be the team’s starting backcourt this season. Hand will run the point and Collins is expecting a lot more from him going forward.

“I expect my point guard to be able to move the ball and run the offense,” Collins said.

“Your point guard should be the general on the floor.”

Seniors Dajon Reeves and JaDarius Carter are expected to fill out the team’s starting lineup. Both players will bring speed and athleticism to the floor and help the team’s up-tempo style of play.

As a whole, the varsity roster has nine players who saw time on the court last season.

Holtville has put itself in a good position to not only have high expectations but also have a chance of meeting them.

Girls a different role. We just want everyone to play with intensity while moving up and down the court.”

“We’ve put in a lot of great work over the summer and seen a lot of improvement,” Bell said. “We’re still trying to incorporate that championship

Boys “They showed a lot over the summer as far as intensity and integrity,” Powell said.

“They came committed. They work hard. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.”

JD Martin is still recovering from a torn ACL and Darren Nolen will also be out for the season with a leg injury.

Powell is expecting his young players to fill the void left by the missing players.

“Intensity and competitiveness,” Powell said when asked what he was looking for from his young squad. “I want my guys to compete, learn the system and buy into it.”

Tyquan Rawls and E.J. Rogers are the top two returning players in the backcourt for Wetumpka.

However, Powell said they are

nine underclassmen.

“We’re very excited for this new year,” Bell said. “We have a bunch of young ladies that are buying into what I’ve been teaching, which is energy and intensity.

That’s our new theme for this year.”

not allowed to touch the court until football season comes to an end.

Rawls was the team’s leading scorer last season and is expected to be a big contributor again when he returns. Rogers has been one of the team’s leaders and is only one of two seniors on the roster.

Gray will be the only senior to suit up for Wetumpka in the first week of games. Powell said he will be looking for a little extra from Gray as the team starts the season shorthanded.

“I’m looking for his leadership,” Powell said. “He’s a senior and he knows what I expect so I’m looking for him to step up.”

The coach is not the only one looking for Gray to step up this season. The senior understands

his role will expand, especially at the beginning of the year.

“We lose a few ball handlers so I’ll have to be on the ball some more,” Gray said.

“Overall, we just have to pick up the pace a little more like they would.”

Wetumpka looks to get a boost from transfer Seth Johnson this season. Johnson, a junior from Ezekiel Academy, could quickly take the role as the team’s go-to player in the post.

“He’s a homeschool kid and he came in on day one and bought in,” Powell said. “He’s 6-foot-5 and I’m excited about him. He’s a very coachable kid.”

Wetumpka will play in a Thanksgiving tournament next week before having its home opener Nov. 27 against Prattville Christian.

Heavenly Missions drive lends help to Hurricane Michael survivors

By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

A local nonprofit recently spent the day gathering supplies for those who have been displaced by Hurricane Michael.

Heavenly Missions Outreach, which is based out of Alexander City and Elmore County, hosted a toiletry drive at the Fred’s in Eclectic from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. on Nov. 3.

Heavenly Missions Outreach founder and director Charmika Reynolds said they managed to gather hundreds of items to donate to Destin Memorial Outreach Village Baptist Church in Destin. All of the items were delivered Saturday.

Reynolds said she had a friend who is stationed in Destin, and went online to research churches in his area.

“Two churches popped up. I called the first one, and

couldn’t get anybody. So, I called the second, and went from there,” Reynolds said.

“We’ve been corresponding ever since.”

According to Reynolds the drive was initially slated to last 10 hours, but was cut short after the church informed her that Heavenly Missions had already raised enough supplies.

“I gave them the count we had at the time, and they told me that was good enough,” Reynolds said.

Typically, Reynolds said Heavenly Missions hosts several supply drives each year during certain seasons.

However, they decided to host an additional one in response to the crisis.

While many of the affected areas have not completely recovered, Reynolds said she hopes to help speed up the process.

“It’s getting better,” Reynolds said.

World War I monument unveiled at courthouse

By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

After the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, Elmore County residents will have a permanent reminder of those who died during the conflict, near the entrance of the old county courthouse.

For his Eagle Scout project, Boy Scout Troop 13 member Owen Tilley partnered with Farmer Memorial Co. and Funeral Services, LLC to establish a monument in memory of the 43 Elmore County residents who did not return from overseas.

The monument was officially dedicated on Sunday.

“During this centennial year, I feel it is appropriate to recognize them. Working with Farmer Memorial, I’ve created a monument which I believe will be a lasting memorial to those who made the ultimate sacrifice during World War I,” Tilley said. “I feel it is time to remember those who died and did not receive the recognition they deserve.”

Tilley thanked Linda Blankenship from the Elmore County Probate Office for

her “extensive research,” for the project, Nancy Dupree from the Alabama Department of Alabama Archives and History and his father, Ken Tilley, who is a military historian.

“Many hours of research were conducted and documentation was found to have a complete list of those who were killed in action, died from wounds or went missing during World War I,” Tilley said.

According to Ken Tilley, soldiers from throughout the county were honored. The youngest soldier to die was 18, and the oldest was 32.

Troop 13 Scoutmaster Scott Rouse commended Tilley for his efforts and said the monument was a wonderful way to remember the fallen WWI soldiers.

“Here we are 100 years after the end of World War I, standing here on Veterans’ Day remembering the service and sacrifice of these brave men from Elmore County,” Rouse said. “Let me emphasize the sacrifice. All of these are lives cut short, a family member who didn’t get

to come home. All that was a sacrifice for this country of

ours. We should have a lot of gratitude for their sacrifice.”

Elmore County voted overwhelmingly Republican

By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer

While the House of Representatives may have shifted from red to blue Nov. 6, it is the Republicans that maintained control in Alabama. In Elmore County, Republicans had a two-thirds majority in almost every election.

In the governor’s race it was Kay Ivey who carried the majority here, with 21,743 votes from Elmore County. Ivey’s opponent Walt Maddox, totaled 7,711 votes from Elmore County voters.

The Republican party also led the local vote in the lieutenant

governor’s race with Will Ainsworth polling 21,967 over opponent Will Boyd’s 7,388.

In the race for the U.S. House of Representatives, it was incumbent Martha Roby with 21,009 local votes to Tabitha Isner’s 8,282. Steve Marshall carried 20,854 votes from Elmore County opposed to Joseph Siegelman’s 8,474.

In the race for Senate seat district 25, Republican Will Barfoot had 9,418 Elmore County votes compared to David Sadler’s 2,493. In the race for Senate seat district 88 Will Dismukes defeated Corey Creel’s 1,675 votes with a 3,083 majority from Elmore County voters.

Tom Parker will remain the associate justice of the Alabama Supreme Court after earning 20,841 votes to his opponent, Bob Vance’s 8,412.

In the race for Supreme Court place 4, Jay Mitchell defeated Donna Smiley’s 7,442 votes with 21,502 Elmore county votes.

In the race for Alabama’s Secretary of State, John Merrill defeated opponent, Heather Milam’s 7,444 votes with 21,725 from Elmore County.

Jim Zeigler will remain the Alabama State Auditor after defeating Miranda Joseph’s 7,755 votes with 21,334 votes coming just from Elmore

County.

There were two seats up for grabs in the Alabama Public Service Commission. The first place went to Jeremy Oden, who earned 21,386 Elmore County votes compared to his opponent Cara McClure’s 7,554.

The second place on the commission went to Chris Beeker with 21,298 votes over Kari Powell’s 7,646.

The only local seat in Tuesday’s election was for a place on the Elmore County Board of Education. That seat went to Wendell Saxon after defeating two opponents, ElWanda Penn and Pat Tucker.

A Wetumpka man was recently taken into custody after a home invasion in the Redland Whiddon community.

Christopher Lance Whiddon, 27, was arrested and charged with robbery in the first degree and burglary in the second degree on Nov. 8.

According to Elmore County investigator Troy Evans, Whiddon unlawfully entered a Redland community property with a firearm and assaulted a resident before stealing a car and some personal items.

Evans said the incident took place at around 4 a.m. on Nov. 7 in the woodshop on the victim’s property behind his house.

Whiddon was later located in Montgomery and arrested by the United States Marshal’s Service.

Evans said the victim’s injuries were not life-threatening, and he is currently in stable condition. As of Thursday, the stolen items had not been recovered.

First degree robbery is a Class A felony, which is punishable by a maximum sentence of life in prison and up to $30,000. Second degree burglary is a Class B felony.

Whiddon is currently being held in the Elmore County Jail on bonds of $25,000.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You can choose to be lazy and do nothing, if you’d like. In fact, the less you do today, the better. Have a long-overdue discussion, but only if the other party makes the Ärst move to initiate it. Others are likely to honor your ideas. Tonight: Sort through all the possibilities Ärst.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Get to the bottom of a problem. Discussions are animated. Each person seems to want to make his or her points dramatic and memorable. Getting through this charade could take talent. Just be present and listen carefully to what is shared.

Tonight: Soak away stress in a hot tub.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

When facing a jumbled mess, you approach the problem from a position of sensitivity and no judgment. Maintain a sense of humor. People often conÄde in you and share their secrets with you.

Listen well, but be sure to keep these matters hush-hush. Tonight: Time for fun and games.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You can push as hard as you want, but the other party still might not move away from his or her position. In fact, you might cause this person to take a more formidable stand than he or she normally would. A discussion needs to occur in an easy, relaxed manner. Tonight: Head home.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Reach out to someone whose advice you trust. This person is in a similar situation and can easily identify with you.

Talks between you will reveal quite a few commonalities. Don’t fall for the ploy of someone you don’t trust. Others tend to agree with you. Tonight: At a favorite spot.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to review your budget before you make any more commitments, whether for the holidays or for necessity.

At this time of the year, you might be more prone to Änancial errors. Only you can determine the validity of someone else’s offer. Tonight: As you like it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might notice that everyone seems to be reaching out to you, and somehow, even if you’re not involved, you could become the center of quite a few projects! Think before you say too much or give your opinions too easily. Tonight: Do something you’ve postponed for a while.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) If you feel somewhat under the weather, slow down and take care of yourself.

Something might be bothering you that needs to be dealt with. You can’t always absorb hostility and say nothing. It’s how you say what you’re thinking that makes the difference. Tonight: Out late.

Antique store opens in Slapout area

By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

The Slapout communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only antique store, Rekindle the Past, officially opened its doors Nov. 1.

Jimmy Windham, who co-owns Rekindle the Past with his wife, Judy, said business has been fairly steady since they opened.

Rekindle the Past is located on 6364 Holtville Road, and Windham said the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival has been anticipated by community members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had several people say they were glad to have something finally open here,â&#x20AC;? Windham said.

For Windham and his wife, owning an antique store has been a longstanding goal.

Windham said they had been in the antique

Jimmy and Judy Windham said they had wanted to own an antique store for almost 15 years before opening Rekindle the Past in Slapout.

business for about 20 years as dealers, but waited until the right time to open the store. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve owned this building for the past 12 years, and have wanted to open the store, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just now getting to it,â&#x20AC;? Windham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had become comfortable

where we were, and then things changed. We decided now was the time.â&#x20AC;?

Because they live in the Slapout area, Windham said one of the reasons they chose the location was because of its proximity to home.

Another, Windham

said, was because of how quickly the area is growing.

When they were dealers, Windham said they would travel throughout the southeast to find items. For Rekindle the Past, Windham said they are doing the same.

Windham said he and his wife divided the store into two sides and decorated and stocked accordingly. Both sides, he said, have a rustic look and a comfortable atmosphere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The front is her area, and the back is mine.

When we did this, I think the place turned out exactly the way we wanted it. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have asked for it to have turned out any better,â&#x20AC;? Windham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted it to fit the kind of items we were selling.â&#x20AC;?

ECBOE discusses end of fiscal year

By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

The Elmore County Board of Education discussed financial reports from the end of the fiscal year during a special Thursday meeting.

Elmore County Public Schools Chief Financial Officer Jason Mann said the school systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general fund has steadily increased since 2008.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general fund balance totals more than $14 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen a nice increase with our fund balance due to some

smart spending and saving in areas we could save,â&#x20AC;? Mann said.

In 2018, Mann said Elmore County has been able to maintain more than two months of financial reserve and is projected to maintain a similar amount in 2019.

Mann said this has been one of his goals since he was hired. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I promised the board I would shoot for,â&#x20AC;? Mann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now the goal is to keep it around that two months, so we always have that safety net to fall back on if we ever saw a depression again

or something of that sort.â&#x20AC;?

Additionally, Mann said the extra reserve funds will allow the system to plan for instructional expenses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some expenditures to meet instructional needs that we have at this time,â&#x20AC;?

Mann said.

In other business, the BOE unanimously voted to: Purchase three Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD four-wheel drive trucks, each costing almost $29,000, from Riverside Chevrolet in Wetumpka. One of the

trucks will be used in the systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maintenance department, and the other two will be used in the transportation department.

Purchase three Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD two-wheel drive trucks, each costing about $27,000, from Riverside Chevrolet in Wetumpka for the systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maintenance department.

Purchase two Chevrolet Express cargo vans, each costing about $24,000, from Donohoo Chevrolet of Fort Payne for the maintenance department.

Attorney Donna Prashad recently opened her office on the corner of Hill and Company Streets. Prashad specializes in family and juvenile law, and occasionally takes on pro bono cases for domestic violence survivors.

Family lawyer opens downtown office Attorney Donna Prashad recently opened the doors to her new office, located on the corner of Hill and Company Streets in Wetumpka, after relocating her firm from Montgomery.

Prashad said she officially moved into the office on Nov. 5, only days after she first saw the office. Prior to signing the lease, Prashad said she had toyed with the idea of moving to Wetumpka for several months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived in Wetumpka for more than 10 years, and I decided that I needed to be here instead of in Montgomery. It just took me a while to find

something,â&#x20AC;? Prashad said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I looked around and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anything. A Realtor called and told me about this. I called (building owner (Johnny Oates) that day, and I came over here and looked at it. I just loved the whole atmosphere of downtown.â&#x20AC;?

Prashad said she specializes in family and juvenile law, and has been practicing for 16 years. She said the bulk of her career has been in Montgomery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My husband and I moved to Wetumpka in late 2007. At first it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t occur to me to practice here, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just kind of built up over time that I wanted to be here,â&#x20AC;? Prashad said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is where I live. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my home.â&#x20AC;?
