Rape charge dropped against former officer
By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
An Elmore County grand jury did not find enough evidence to indict a former Wetumpka police officer on a charge of rape after new evidence was presented. Nolan W Moseley, 32, who lists an address on Spring Drive, was charged with
rape in the first degree on July 26, after a grand jury originally issued an indictment. According to Chief Deputy District Attorney CJ Robinson, on Oct. 5, the grand jury voted a “no bill” meaning the indictment was nullified after additional evidence was presented to them. “We came in possession of evidence we thought may have swayed the first
to indict.” As of Tuesday, Robinson said the district attorney’s office does not have any intentions of revisiting the case. “Again, if we receive evidence that we didn’t have before, that we thought might change the grand jury’s mind, we can revisit it,” Robinson said. “As of right now, we consider that case to be closed.”
grand jury’s decision on whether or not to indict the case. It did affect the credibility of a few witnesses. Once we came in possession of that evidence, we felt it was in the best interest of the case for it to be re-presented to a grand jury. When the grand jury heard the evidence from the first investigation and this follow-up evidence, they decided there was not probable cause
Local woman charged with reckless murder of daughter
Elmore man dead after Sept. 2 stabbing
By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
A 32-year-old woman was arrested in August with the January death of her daughter. Robyn E House, who currently lists an address on Balm Road in Wetumpka, was charged with reckless murder on House Aug. 16 after an indictment was issued in July. Documents pertaining to the case were filed on Alacourt on Oct. 3. At the time the indictment was issued, House listed an address on Mockingbird Lane in Eclectic. House was booked into the Elmore County Jail on a $25,000 bond and was released from jail in September. See HOUSE • Page A2

‘THIRD TIME’S THE CHARM’ Duck Dash floats down Coosa River, has successful year By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
A
total of 2,500 rubber ducks floated down the Coosa River during the Wetumpka Rotary Club’s third annual River Region Duck Dash on Saturday morning. According to rotary club president Leisa Finley, 2018 marked the Duck Dash’s most successful year.
“They always say the third time’s the charm, no matter what you do,” Finley said. “We sold more ducks than the first two.” At 11 a.m., the ducks were dropped from the Bibb Graves bridge, and about a dozen spectators lined the river to see which duck would be the first make it into a tube at the end of Lock 31.

Family welcomes diabetic son’s service dog By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
A Wetumpka family welcomed an English Labrador retriever named JD into their home Oct. 2 as a service dog for their soon-to-be adopted son. Angie and Ronnie Briggum’s 4-year-old son, Lane, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in November 2017. Angie Briggum said Lane is an “unusual diabetic,” who shows little to no symptoms when he is high or low on insulin. Insurance would not cover an insulin

pump for Lane because of his age, and Lane’s doctor recommended they adopt a service dog. The family was later connected with JD through Diabetic Alert Dogs of America. Angie Briggum said they spent the first few days training JD and getting him acquainted with Lane’s life. So far, she said Lane and JD have bonded quickly and JD has acclimated well. “(JD’s) world has really been flipped upside down. He’s come to a new home and a totally new climate,” Ronnie Briggum said. “Everything is totally See DOG • Page A2

new to him. He’s handling it very well.” Ronnie Briggum said JD has done a great job of alerting them when Lane needs his insulin checked. “We went to dinner the first night with JD to Coaches Corner. JD was really restless under the table, and he finally reached up and started pawing on me,” Ronnie Briggum said. “We checked Lane’s sugar, and he was 62, so he was low. We hadn’t even really thought to check him, because we usually check him as soon as his food comes out.” They had originally expected to bring JD home later this year, but Angie Briggum said he graduated early from training. Because of his early graduation, Angie Briggum said they were given until Oct. 2 to raise the money. Because the costs to bring JD home were also not covered by insurance, the Briggums reached out to the community for help. “There was a lot of support that came through,” Ronnie Briggum. While the amount of support and positivity came as a surprise to the family, Angie Briggum said it shows how the community reacts when someone is in need. “This is one of the main reasons I call Wetumpka home. When anybody needs help, Wetumpka comes together. That’s the beauty of Wetumpka,” Angie Briggum added. Through their experience, Ronnie Briggum said they are in the beginning stages of trying to set up a fund for other children who need service dogs. “There are needs for children who are Lane’s age, but they fall in a gap where insurance will not pay for certain items. With him they wouldn’t pay for an insulin pump (or) a glucose monitor,” Ronnie Briggum said. The family also credited JD’s

trainer, Athena Wirtz, along with the rest of the staff at Diabetic Alert Dogs of America for their helpfulness throughout the process, even after JD’s arrival, Angie Briggum said “(The trainer) included our 16-year-old daughter in the training. She worked with us. She stayed late. We had her personal cell phone, so we could call her. We’re friends with her on Facebook,” Angie Briggum said. “I just can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done for us. It means a lot when the owner takes time to start sending messages and asking questions, just to check in.” To express their appreciation,

few weeks. Initially, Mann and the juvenile were arrested and charged with one count of attempted murder and two counts of robbery in the first degree. On Tuesday, the attempted murder charges against both suspects were upgraded to murder. Franklin said the murder charges will later be presented to a grand jury to deliberate on whether the charges will be upgraded again to
capital murder. Because of the severity of the crimes, Franklin said Carter was charged as an adult. Currently, Mann is being held at the Elmore County Jail on bonds of $3 million and Carter is being held on bonds of $750,000. “I think their bond amount should suffice to ensure their appearance in court,” Franklin said.

Lane said he’s had fun playing games with JD throughout the week. When JD is wearing his service vest, Lane said that means he’s at work. “He goes everywhere I go,” Lane said. “He has a red vest, he has a harness, and he dresses up in it.” According to Lane, JD is named after his favorite brand of tractors, John Deere, and JD is his “best dog friend.” “I love him so much,” Lane said.

Make sure pets have ID tags as hurricane approaches By REA CORD HSEC Executive Director
Next Tuesday is our Humane Society’s Annual Meeting, so we hope to see all of our members and prospective members at 6 p.m. at the Wetumpka Civic Center at 410 S. Main St. We will be reviewing our accomplishments in the past year and looking ahead to 2019. Hope to see you there! For our supporters who work for the Alabama State Government and want to donate financially, there no better way than through the 2018 State Combined Campaign (SCC), and our Agency Code is 106803. The SCC is critical to Alabama nonprofits and helps make donating to deserving charities easy, either one time or via monthly payroll deduction. We want to thank all who so generously donate to help not only our shelter, but nonprofit agencies everywhere. With Hurricane Michael heading our way, now would be a good time to make sure your pets have their collars and ID tags on them in the event a fence is knocked down by tree
limbs or wind. After any weather event we take a much higher number of lost pet calls and our Facebook page, “Lost & Found Pets in Elmore County Alabama” also goes into overdrive with lost pet postings. If you have outside pets watch the weather and bring them inside before the bad weather hits. Thunder, heavy rain, wind and lightning can scare your pet so that it runs and runs to escape what is scaring it until it becomes hopelessly lost. And do you want to be outside in a bad storm? Bring your pets inside in any bad weather to keep them safe and also to save you the heartache and time of looking for a lost pet for days, weeks or more. For those who have livestock, now is the time to also check fences to ensure gates are well secured. But, perhaps more important will be to check your fences after any storms roll through as rain and wind significantly increase trees falling and limbs breaking which can lead to wandering livestock if these trees take out chunks of fence. Need ID tags for your pets
(or horse halters)? We can make custom tags in about five minutes in our office at the shelter for a measly $7 for small tags and $10 for large tags. We even have pet medical alert tags as well for $10 in case your pet has a medical condition a finder (or boarding facility) needs to be aware of. If you cannot get to the shelter, write your phone number on your pet’s collar/livestock halter in indelible ink so it can be read even if wet. Make sure to mark your calendar for your new tattoo, or perhaps your first tattoo, for Nov. 10 starting at 10 a.m. at Mad Tatter Tattoo Studio, located 10073 Holtville Road in Deatsville, for their 24-hour Tattoo event. They are not only hoping to set a state record for most tattoos in 24 hours but are splitting the proceeds with our shelter and the Slapout Fire Department. They have three specific black ink tattoos (American Flag, Paw Print, Skull) to choose from for $20 each. This event is growing and there will be food, entertainment and more so mark your calendar and we’ll see you there!
Duck bought a duck the chance to race it down the river for a cash prize. The duck bought by Marsha Hicks came in first, and she received $1,500. The second place winner, Bridget Gonzalez, won $1,000. Jewell Wilkinson, who came in third, won $750. Timothy Hinkle, the owner of the last duck to make it to the finish line, won a consolation prize. Hyde said approximately 2,131 ducks had been purchased by community members to raise funds for several nonprofits organized. This year’s event yielded $9,380 in duck sales. “We do the deputy Bart Hart scholarship as one of those and the Humane (Society) shelter, the Elmore County Pregnancy Center, the Adullam House, just to name a few,” Hyde said. “We’ve got about six of them that we give checks to every year, and this allows us to give them even bigger checks.” Hyde said the Wind Creek Casino and Hotel provided the ducks, which were released by the Wetumpka Fire Department while the Wetumpka Police Department blocked the bridge. Additionally, Hyde thanked the casino and Information Transport Solutions for their sponsorship, as well as the volunteers who made the Duck Dash successful. When the Duck Dash first started, Hyde said it was initially held during the Wetumpka Craterfest’s last year. While it has done well as a standalone event, Hyde said they are hoping to attach it to another event in the future and double the amount of ducks sold. “If we can have an event downtown, I think we can do it,” Hyde said. “(We’d like) another event that is down here at the park, where we’ve got thousands of people looking at the race.” Spectator Frank Bertarelli said he noticed the clean-up crew’s efforts were more successful than last year. “We didn’t have duck mania this year. Last year, we had ducks all over the river,” Bertarelli said. “We were chasing them in the rocks, up in the bushes. This year, it went a lot better. We didn’t have a duck mess.”

We do have a temporary accidental anomaly U.S. Senator in Doug Jones. However, as any nominal political observer knows, he is only there until the next election. He is the epitome of the political adage that more people vote against someone than for someone. People were simply voting against Roy Moore and more liberal money poured into Alabama to beat Moore than has ever been sent into Alabama in history and probably ever will be. It was the only race in the country and every socialist liberal group or individual in the nation jumped on board to beat Moore. That anomaly will never happen again. To his credit, Jones is not a demagogue. He is and has always been a liberal national Democrat. He has been a card carrying, bonafide liberal his entire adult life. He is ideologically more at home and comfortable buddying around with Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren and Nancy Pelosi than with Richard Shelby, Robert Aderholt or Bradley Bryne. He has campaigned for, contributed to and been a Democratic delegate for Walter Mondale, Ted Kennedy, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. He is a true believer.
STEVE FLOWERS Columnist He has felt his oats a bit and gotten involved in trying to change the state Democratic Party organization, which by the way is not very organized. He endorsed his candidate Peck Fox against Nancy Worley for the chairmanship of the defunct Alabama Democratic Party. Worley prevailed because Joe Reed still controls the reigns of the Democratic Party brand in the state. Make no doubt about it, the Democratic Party is the party of African Americans in Alabama. There are a few liberal white Democrats in the state that Reed parades out as face cards. However, he wants it to remain his party, and essentially that is the case. Make no mistake about it, Alabama politics is still driven by race. Whites are primarily Republicans. Blacks are totally Democratic. Politics is nothing more than simply counting. Basic math if you will. There are simply more white folks that vote than black folks who vote. That is why 29 out of 29 state officeholders are Republican. The Democrats have fielded three viable candidates for statewide office in the upcoming November General Election. They will run good races, but they are not going to win. It will be 29 out of 29 come January. Walt Maddox is the best candidate that the Democrats have had in several decades for governor. Maddox is 45 and has been mayor of Tuscaloosa, one of Alabama’s premier and most prosperous
cities for 10 years. He is better qualified and much more able to serve as governor than Kay Ivey. However, Kay is a Republican quasi incumbent, running in a very good economic time. Her handlers are doing an excellent job of running out the clock and keeping quiet. All they have to do is show pictures of Kay cutting ribbons, claiming credit for economic expansion, aligning herself with Trump and clinging to Confederate monuments. The bottom line is she will win because she is the Republican candidate. Joseph Siegelman, the son of former Governor Don Siegelman, is a viable candidate for attorney general. He not only is viable but is vibrant and attractive. He is 30-years old with movie star good looks and he also has a good-looking dog. He exudes integrity and ethics. However, Marshall will prevail over Siegelman because he is the GOP candidate. Although it may be surprising how many votes young Siegelman gets. A lot of folks, including a good many moderate Republicans, believe Siegelman’s dad, Don, was done wrong. He will reap a good many sympathy votes. The third viable Democratic candidate is Robert Vance, Jr., in the race for chief justice of the Supreme Court. He will run a good race. However, Tom Parker will prevail because he is the Republican candidate. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama leading political columnist. His weekly column appears in more than 60 Alabama newspapers. He served 16 years in the state legislature. Steve may be reached at www. steveflowers.us.

Skate Zone 2000 damaged by early morning fire By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
The Wetumpka Fire Department extinguished a fire at Skate Zone 2000, located on Red Eagle Drive, around 2 a.m. on Thursday. According to fire chief Greg Willis, the fire department was dispatched to Skate Zone through the building’s fire alarm system. Once they arrived, Willis said they noticed a light amount of smoke outside of the building and forced their way in. Willis said the fire started near the skating rink’s DJ booth. By the time they got there, Willis said the fire had gone up a nearby wall and spread to the ceiling. With the help of the building’s sprinkler system, Willis said firefighters were able to extinguish the fire within minutes. Willis said an area of about 10 square feet was damaged. “It burned an area that would be the equivalent of a room in your house,” Willis said. Skate Zone 2000 owner Charles Cole said there was some water damage caused by the sprinklers. “It’s not a terrible lot of damage,

Cleanup efforts are underway at Skate Zone 2000 after portions of the building were damaged by an early morning fire Thursday.
but it’s enough to make a big mess,” Cole said. No one was injured as the result of the fire. As of Thursday afternoon, Willis said the cause of the fire was under investigation. Most likely,
Willis said the cause was related to the electrical equipment in that part of the building. “It was right in the area of electric panels and a significant amount of other electronics,” Willis said.
Willis commended the firefighters who handled the incident, and said it was extremely fortunate that the building was equipped with an alarm and sprinklers. “I think it’s a good example of why we work so diligently to help our commercial buildings have these systems in place,” Willis said. “Our personnel did a great job of stopping what could have been a major loss to the community.” In the 1990s, Willis said firefighters faced a similar situation with another skating rink. Unlike Skate Zone 2000, Willis said the previous skating rink did not have an alarm or sprinklers. “The one in the ‘90s was a completely different situation. It was completely destroyed,” Willis said. Cole said he is grateful for the fire department, not only for saving Skate Zone 2000, but for the effort they put in year round. “I really appreciate the effort that the Wetumpka Fire Department puts in,” Cole said. “It takes a lot of dedication to do what they do.” Cole said Skate Zone 2000 will remain closed for cleanup and repairs, and is unsure when it will be open again.
Leadership Elmore County announces Class of 2019 By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
Leadership Elmore County recently announced its class of 2019. LEC board of directors chair Molly Killingsworth said 14 people were selected, and she is looking forward to working with a diverse set of community members this year. “I think we have a great group of leaders from throughout Elmore County,” Killingsworth said. “You don’t have to be a leader in your job or role, but you do have to have a potential for leadership and a love for your community. I’m encouraged to see where Leadership Elmore County is going.” Each month, Killingsworth said the class will attend a session to learn about the different aspects of Elmore County before a graduation ceremony in May. Each year, Killingsworth said LEC classes are tasked with identifying a need in the community, coming up with a community service project and working to implement that project. Currently, Killingsworth said the class of 2019 is brainstorming ideas and will likely announce it within four to six weeks. “I’m excited to see what they choose,” Killingsworth said.

Man charged with second-degree rape By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
A Wetumpka man was recently taken into custody after he allegedly had sexual relations with
a minor. Joshua W Johnson, 31, who lists an address on Woodland Road, was arrested by the Elmore County Sheriff’s police and charged with rape in the second degree on Oct.
2.
Court documents state the offense occurred with a teenage girl between Sept. 20 and Sept. 28 at Johnson’s residence. Second degree rape is a Class B
felony. If convicted, Johnson could face between one and two decades in prison and owe up to $30,000. As of Tuesday, Johnson remains in the Elmore County Jail on a Johnson $10,000 bond.

Anna’s Place saw a steady stream of business within a few hours of its opening on Friday. Owner Paula Cardwell opened it in memory of her daughter, Anna Catherine Cardwell, below.
By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
The office of attorney Jim DeBardelaben recently relocated from Montgomery to Wetumpka and opened its doors in Oct. 1. In the few days it has been open, DeBardelaben said he has seen several appointments from potential clients. DeBardelaben primarily does probate work, loan closings and civil cases. From time to time, DeBardelaben said he will take on criminal cases. DeBardelaben initially opened his office in Montgomery in 1982, and accumulated many clients from the Elmore County area. DeBardelaben said he had been toying with the idea of relocating to Wetumpka for several years. “This just seemed to be the time to move,” DeBardelaben said. “A lot of different factors came together, and it made it more attractive to move here than to stay where I was.” Through his new location, DeBardelaben said he hopes to add more locals as clients and increase his involvement in the community. Because he lives close to Lake Martin, DeBardelaben said he expects that the shorter commute time to work will make him more accessible. “I have a lot of business in Elmore County and always have. It made sense to move my office to Elmore County,” DeBardelaben said. “I’m more available. This gives me an hour to an hour and a half more a day.” DeBardelaben said he has 40 years of experience with trials throughout central Alabama. As an Elmore County native, DeBardelaben said he is especially interested in helping residents. “It’s good to be back home,” DeBardelaben said. “I’ve continued to live in Elmore County, my office just was not in Elmore County. The only time I didn’t live in Elmore County was the seven years I went to college and law school.” DeBardelaben’s office is located at 194 Fort Toulouse Road, adjacent to Jackson Thornton Certified Public Accountants.
‘This would be her thing’ Anna’s Place celebrates grand opening By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
While losing a child was the most difficult thing she’s ever gone through, Slapout business owner Paula Cardwell did not let it stop her from using the tragedy to bring something good to the community. Cardwell’s restaurant, Anna’s Place, opened its doors for the first time on Friday. The restaurant was named in honor of her daughter, Anna Catherine Cardwell, who died in February 2012. Anna was murdered in her home by an acquaintance, Josh Caspari, after she warned a friend against dating him. Caspari was convicted in 2013. “I had just always wanted something to do in memory of her, because she loved this community so much,” Cardwell said. “I thought what better way than to have a restaurant where people can come and eat and have fellowship.” Cardwell is leasing the building for Anna’s Place, which is located at 10380 Holtville Road, from a customer she met as the manager at the nearby Lake Pharmacy. “It may sound corny, but I just think it was God placing the opportunities,” Cardwell said. Anna’s Place is open for breakfast and lunch, and offers dine-in and take out options. Cardwell said she wanted the atmosphere to make guests feel at home. Since the news broke about her plans to open the restaurant, Cardwell said the anticipation she’s seen in the community has been “crazy.” “I went to the produce stand to get some tomatoes. She said, ‘I’ve had people calling me, asking when y’all are going to open,’” Cardwell said. “I think
there has been some excitement, that this is something that people really have wanted.” Throughout the process of opening, Cardwell said she endured several setbacks in the form of scheduling issues and a broken leg. When she was cleared for opening last Friday, Cardwell said she felt a mixture of relief and pride. “I just cried, because I thought of all these months, of all the work and what we’ve done,” Cardwell said. “I didn’t know what I was doing. I had never worked in a restaurant. I didn’t know anything about running a restaurant But I did this.” Because this is the first restaurant she’s opened, Cardwell said she plans to learn as she goes. Within the first few hours, Cardwell said Anna’s Place had a steady flow of guests and left a positive impression on them. “We’ve had a good crowd this morning,” Cardwell said. “I’ve had people come in that were friends of hers and knew her, and they’ve enjoyed seeing the pictures and being a part of it.
I feel like it has already had a positive influence.” If her daughter were alive today, Cardwell said she believes Anna would have been very proud. “She would be all over this. This would be her thing,” Cardwell said. “She would be the one going around and talking to everybody.” Cardwell’s friends, Sandra and John Cousins, said they came out to support her and found that they highly enjoyed the food, the service and the atmosphere. “She did an excellent job. You get good service, and you don’t have to sit around and hope somebody comes back to your table,” John Cousins said. The Cousins said a restaurant like Anna’s Place was a much-needed addition to Slapout’s business community. “This is the best thing for Slapout,” Sandra Cousins said. “We really don’t have a lot of places to choose from, and this has a variety of different things.” Before Anna’s Place, Sandra Cousins said they typically went out to eat in Prattville and Montgomery. Because it’s so centrally located, John Cousins said they plan to become regulars. “It’s right here in our backyard, in a sense,” John Cousins said. Cardwell’s neighbors, Tommy and Phyllis Hetherington, said Anna’s Place good way to keep her daughter’s memory alive. “This is one way to carry on her legacy and her name,” Tommy Hetherington said. “We often think about her, and we often think about how things went.” “Anna was a special girl to her parents, and she was very good in the neighborhood,” Phyllis Hetherington said. “We were excited to see something like this come about.”

Charges against Millbrook man dropped By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
Charges against a Millbrook man arrested in August were dismissed in mid-September. Roger Dale McQueen, who lists
an address on Sandtown Road, was charged with domestic violence in the third degree, stalking in the first degree, domestic violence harassment in the third degree and criminal trespassing in the third degree on Aug. 27. According to Elmore County Sheriff
Bill Franklin, McQueen spoke to deputies on Aug. 24 and turned himself in the following Monday. On Oct. 5, McQueen’s attorney, Keith Howard, was notified by the Elmore County District Attorney’s Office that a grand jury issued a no
bill for all of the charges, which were dropped. However, on Sept. 7, McQueen was charged with the violation of a domestic violence protection order, which is a Class A misdemeanor. His trial date is scheduled for 8:30 on Oct. 30.
Local author celebrates newest book By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
T
he Wetumpka City Library is hosting a book talk and signing in celebration of a local author’s newest release from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 23. “A Muddle of Magic,” the second book in Wetumpka resident Alexandra Rushe’s “Fledgling Magic” fantasy series, was released on Oct. 2. Rushe said the “Fledgling Magic” series was her first attempt at writing. “I started writing this fantasy series when my oldest daughter was four. She’s 27 now. Because the “Fledgling Magic” series initially received over 100 rejections, Rushe said it was shelved, and she published a paranormal romance series under the pseudonym “Lexi George.” While changing agents, Rushe said she was told that she would have to pitch a new story, and decided to revisit “Fledgling Magic.” She said it took her about eight months to rewrite it. “I just never could give up the story. It was the first thing that’s ever spoken to me,” Rushe said. “I feel like Cinderella’s finally getting to go to the ball. It’s such a joy. Wetumpka library director Susan Hayes said Rushe has held similar events at the library for her books in both series. So far, Hayes said the “Fledgling Magic” series has been well-received by the community. “She’s just a great speaker We’re just delighted to have her back,” Hayes said. “The people who have read the first one are excited about the second one coming out.” Hayes said Wetumpka has a fair amount of writing talent, and enjoys hearing local authors speak at the library. “The authors that come here just talk so passionately about their work that it’s fun to listen to them,” Hayes said. “They tell not only the story of the book,

but the story of how they became a writer. It’s not always easy.” Rushe said she is grateful for Hayes, who is a longtime friend, and the rest of the library staff for their support whenever she publishes a book. “I deeply appreciate it, because it helps me tremendously,” Rushe said. “I can’t say enough about them. They’re awesome.” At the event, both books in the “Fledgling Magic Series” will be available for purchase, and there will be a drawing for two $25 gift cards.
The Elmore County Bama Chapter will hold its first meeting of the fall on Oct. 16 and will feature guest speaker Steve Flowers, Alabama’s most watched and read political columnist and commentator. Flowers graduated from the University of Alabama in 1974 with a degree in political science and history. He entered politics at the age of 30 and was elected state representative from Pike County, receiving the largest number of votes ever cast for any person in a political race in the history of Pike County. He was overwhelmingly re-elected four times, choosing not to seek reelection in 1998. He left undefeated and uncontested. During his tenure in the House of Representatives, Flowers sustained a perfect attendance record for sixteen consecutive years. In 1988 his House colleagues passed a resolution naming him the Most Ethical Member of the House. In 1992 they voted him as the Most Outstanding Member of the Alabama House of Representatives. After leaving the Legislature,
Flowers began writing a weekly column on Alabama politics. Overnight it became the leading and most widely read column on Alabama politics in the state. In addition, he can be seen regularly on numerous television stations around the state as their political analyst. He is general considered the ultimate authority on Alabama politics and Alabama political history. The meeting will be held at Bon Appetit, located at 5090 Main Street in Millbrook.

Having Fun With Fall Foods!
Candy Apple Slices Candied Apples are a Fall must, but they are so messy. Follow these steps to make a much neater treat! 1. Take one apple and have an adult cut it up into slices. (An apple corer will work.) Clean any seeds that have remained in the middle. 2. Using a squeeze bottle of caramel or chocolate ice cream topping, pour some caramel onto each slice. Add sprinkles, nuts, or chocolate chips. 3. Place in freezer for 20 minutes to harden caramel. 4. (Optional) Take a popsicle stick and push it into the end of the apple slice.
Fall is a time when the leaves change colors; kids go back to school; and people begin to spend more time indoors due to the cooling weather. Many people enjoy this time in the kitchen cooking recipes for cooler weather with foods that are in season, like pumpkin, squash, and apples. A good recipe tells you what ingredients you need, what tools you will need to prepare and cook it, and how long each step should take. $OZD\V UHDG WKH HQWLUH UHFLSH ¿UVW WR make sure that you have all the necessary tools and ingredients before you begin. It is also absolutely necessary to always have an adult’s permission before using the kitchen. Ask an adult for any help that you may need when using kitchen tools, knives, and appliances. 6DIHW\ ¿UVW LV WKH PRVW LPSRUWDQW UXOH RI all! Have a great time cooking!
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Easy Apple Cider
Follow the directions below to make tasty, Autumn apple cider. You will need: 8 cups of apple juice, 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of ground cloves, and 1 cup orange juice. Step One: Mix all the ingredients together in a large saucepan. Step Two: Have an adult warm the mixture up to a slight boil, then simmer on low for one hour. Step Three: Pour into a glass container and allow it to cool enough before you drink it. Enjoy!

ALL-STARS
Jones, Lucas selected to Alabama-Mississippi game By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Wetumpka seniors De’Angelo Jones and P.J. Lucas were selected to the all-star roster for Alabama for the upcoming 32nd annual Alabama-Mississippi Classic which is set to be played at Cramton Bowl on Dec. 17. Both players are in their first season with the Wetumpka program and have been key contributors for the Indians during the 6-1 start to the season. “It’s a tremendous honor for them and for our football program,” Wetumpka coach Tim Perry said. “It always very special to represent the state so we’re all very excited they were selected.” The two players grew up together and have been playing football together since they were 8 years old according to Jones. They played in the city league up until middle school and were both at Prattville through their junior years before moving to Wetumpka in 2018. “That’s just pretty amazing to

Wetumpka running back De’Angelo Jones (20) will finish out his high school football career at the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Game in December.
“It’s a blessing to represent the state of Alabama. I’ve upped my game. I want to see progress every year and this shows it. I’ve always wanted to play in this game.” — P.J. Lucas Wetumpka defensive tackle
me,” Jones said. “We got the news together so playing in the game with one of my best friends makes it even more amazing.” Jones and Lucas both said getting to play in this game is a dream come true for him. However, Jones said he knows there is still plenty of work left to do in Wetumpka’s season before he can start thinking too much about the All-Star game. “I’m excited and it’s still a big honor but we still have work to do,” Jones said. “We have to focus on what is most important right now.” Jones has 586 yards and 12 touchdowns on 69 rushing attempts this season. He has averaged 10.3 points per game on his own, accounting for 29.2 percent of Wetumpka’s total points. Jones plays on both sides of the ball, seeing several snaps per game as a
linebacker. “I think it has helped me show myself and that I’m coachable,” Jones said. “I’m not just a onedimensional player and I’ll give 100 percent on every play.” Jones has already seen interest from both Army and Navy but he is not ready to decide on his future until after the season. Lucas has been committed to Ole Miss since July. Lucas is listed as a 3-star recruit by 247 Sports and is ranked as the 20th best defensive tackle in the Class of 2019. He has mostly played defensive end for Wetumpka this season, racking up 12.5 tackles and 4.5 tackles for a loss. His size and speed has helped him become a better pass rusher at the high school level and he has recorded four quarterback hurries and 1.5 sacks this See ALL-STARS • Page B3

Stanhope Elmore’s Gabbi Taylor (2) rises for a hit at the net against Wetumpka last Tuesday.
Stanhope Elmore celebrates Senior Night in style By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Stanhope Elmore accomplished its biggest goal of the season last week. The Mustangs defeated Wetumpka in straight sets on senior night to clinch first place in Class 6A Area 5, which means Stanhope will host the area tournament in two weeks. “We can’t even describe it,” Stanhope coach Virginia Barber said. “This is what we’ve been working toward for three years. The mentality of the sport has changed over here.” Four seniors were honored in the last regular season home match of the season but after the victory, they realized there would be one more night in the home gym. Barber said she told the team before the match what was on the line. “Senior Night is awesome but it would mean more to me to have another home game with the area tournament being here,” Barber said. “So they knew that’s what they had to do and they played that way. All the seniors played great.” Alisson Evans and Gabbi Taylor led the way for the Mustangs. Each of them had four kills in the match. Taylor said it felt good to use a team effort to clinch the home-court advantage for the area tournament. “For it to be my senior year, and to finally get it done, it just feels great,” Taylor said. Taylor made her first big impact of the game during the opening set. Wetumpka led for most of the set and Stanhope’s deficit swelled to as many as six points. With Wetumpka leading 23-20, Stanhope put together a string of four consecutive points. See VOLLEYBALL • Page B3
Wetumpka was stunned last week at Stanhope Elmore but it was back at practice on Monday morning, preparing to get back to its winning ways this week. Wetumpka hosts Benjamin Russell on Friday night in this year’s final regular season game at Hohenberg Field. “It was as we expected and we were all still disappointed,” Wetumpka coach Tim Perry said. “But we bounced back with a good practice session. We watched the film and are going to correct those mistakes. We just have to put it in the past and focus on this week.” Wetumpka, which fell to No. 6 in the Alabama Sports Writers Association poll, is now 6-1 (2-1 Class 6A Region 3). It still needs one more region win to clinch a spot in the playoffs which can be done against the Wildcats. Benjamin Russell is currently 4-3 and is coming off a 29-3 loss

Bulldogs perform well during long day at ECHS Block Party By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
With just two weeks remaining in the regular season, the Holtville volleyball team participated in the fifth annual ECHS Block Party at Elmore County. The Bulldogs won three matches on its way to the semifinals of the tournament before falling to the host Panthers. “Playing five matches in a day is a lot but we handled it really well,” Holtville coach Alison Franklin said. “It was good competition all day and we competed so I was proud of our girls.” Holtville opened the day with a quick win against Dadeville, finishing off the Tigers 25-12, 25-8. Brook Cooper led the team with four kills in the match. She finished the day with seven total kills to go along with two aces. The Bulldogs continued pool play against Park Crossing. Holtville stayed unbeaten on the day with a two-set victory, beating the Thunderbirds 25-22, See PARTY • Page B2

BETTER THAN EVER Reeves continues comeback season in area victory By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Holtville’s Denisha Reeves suffered a devastating knee injury on the court at Elmore County just two weeks into the 2017 season. However, she is back for her senior season and has been a key part to the revival of the Bulldogs program. “I feel like I’m better than I’ve ever been,” Reeves said. “I love playing at the net. When I’m at my best, I can hit past anyone.” Reeves continued her strong year with another big performance against Handley last Thursday. She had two kills in the first five points to set the tone of the match. Reeves finished with a team-high five kills as the Bulldogs won in straight sets. “To see her athleticism is great,” Holtville coach Alison Franklin said. “It was crushing last year to see her not be able to finish the season so to see what she’s able to do this year, it’s like she’s playing as if nothing ever happened to that knee. So that’s pretty exciting.” Reeves returned to the team in April and has been wearing a brace on her left knee all season. There was a lot of work to be done but Reeves took it in stride and has looked like a new player this season. “You learn a lot,” Reeves said. “You have to just work with it and do your best not to be down. I had to stay happy, hopeful and optimistic. Now when I’m playing, I can’t be scared. No matter what happened, I still have to try my best no matter what.” Holtville has long been the area punching bag in volleyball but this season has a new feeling to it. The Bulldogs win over Handley improved their area record to 2-1 with one remaining match against Elmore County to determine which team hosts the area tournament. “That’s still one of our goals; we would love to host the area tournament,”

Midseason playoff contenders: Who still remains?
T
he college football season is already six weeks old and teams are beginning to drop like flies from the national championship race. There are 11 remaining undefeated teams but the number of teams which can realistically win a nation championship this season is probably in single digits. We all know that list starts with Alabama but who else is left in contention at the midway point of the season? Clemson recently made a change at quarterback but the Tigers remain undefeated and are still the biggest threat to the Crimson Tide this season. Clemson’s offense looked much better with Trevor Lawrence taking the snaps and the team’s defense is as elite as it comes. With only one ranked team and two road games remaining on their regular season schedule, the Tigers should be 12-0 entering postseason play again this year. Georgia still makes this list but it’s beginning to look less likely there will be a rematch in the national championship. The Bulldogs have not missed a step from last season but this year’s schedule looks nearly impossible to navigate. Four consecutive meetings with ranked opponents await Georgia and even if it survives that, Alabama will be waiting in the SEC Championship. Could two SEC schools return to the playoff and meet again for the title? Sure. Am I expecting it? No. Ohio State jumped into the thick of this conversation after winning at Penn State. The Buckeyes toughest game remaining on the schedule is Michigan and that game will be played in Columbus. Dwayne Haskins is a great player and as long as there is no vintage See TURRENTINE • Page B4

Holtville senior Denisha Reeves (14) gets up for a block against Handley.
Franklin said. “But our ultimate goal is to go to super regionals.” In order to achieve that ultimate goal, Holtville will need to defeat Handley again during the postseason later this month. The Bulldogs saw improvement from its first match against Handley, finishing their opponents off in three sets instead of four. “It’s an amazing feeling to be able to not be last in our region anymore,” Reeves said. “For the chance to go to super regionals, it feels great.” Reeves has been used as a primary front row hitter for the Bulldogs this season. She did not play a single
point on the back row in the win over Handley. Franklin said the team’s rotation is still evolving but Reeves will still be expected to play most of her time on the front row. The win over Handley was a big step for Holtville’s program but there is still work to be done. Franklin said the team will need to duplicate last week’s performance in the postseason if the Bulldogs want a chance to play in the super regionals. “I tell them all the time that if we can pass and we can serve, we can win,” Franklin said. “And that’s what they did tonight.”

25-20. Six different players recorded a kill, including Denisha Reeves who also added four blocks. “That was an emotional win against Park Crossing,” Franklin said. “Then we had six minutes to turn around to play the next one. In that first set against Benjamin Russell, we were flying high on emotions and just lost who we are. That’s something we have to learn how to deal with.” Holtville lost that final match in pool play to Benjamin Russell but still earned second seed in Pool 1 for the elimination portion of the tournament. The Bulldogs were matched up with Reeltown in the quarterfinals and defeated the Rebels in two sets. Alexus Hindman had six kills in the win over Reeltown. “Playing in a tournament, you just want to come out and play in the final,” senior Cyndi Thornton said. “It didn’t work out that way and it’s tiring but it pushes you harder. You just want to beat everybody so it’s a good experience.” The win over Reeltown set the Bulldogs up with area rival Elmore County. The Panthers won 25-17, 25-15 to finish Holtville’s day just before the final. The Bulldogs were 29 for 29 on service accuracy but it was not enough to overcome the hosts. “They’re a really good team,” Franklin said. “They are quick and very accurate so they make you work hard. Anytime you can play teams like that, you get better too.” Holtville will play Elmore County one more time in the regular season, with the top spot in the area on the line. The two are expected to meet again in the area tournament during the postseason. Hindman led Holtville’s offense throughout the tournament. She finished with 13 kills to go with two kills and eight digs. Reeves had seven kills and eight blocks in the team’s five games. Thornton had three aces and a team-high 15 digs during the day. “There was a lot of competitive teams here so three wins and two losses is still pretty good,” Thornton said. This was the first tournament of the season for Holtville and Franklin hopes it can prepare the team for the postseason. The Bulldogs are now 9-6 on the season. The team will hold its Senior Night on Thursday when it hosts Dadeville.
Mustangs ready to build off upset victory By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Stanhope Elmore took a big step toward its first region title since 2004 with last week’s win against Wetumpka. However, the Mustangs have two more region games to finish the job and it starts this week with a trip to Selma. Stanhope is now 3-0 in Class 6A Region 3 and has secured a playoff spot but the team can still finish as low as fourth in the region so coach Brian Bradford wants to make sure his team stays focused. “It starts with the coaches,” Bradford said. “We can’t be looking
ahead at Opelika. We’ve got our eyes on one thing and that’s this week. This game is the most important game because it’s the next one.” Bradford said it is always a challenge to get high school kids to respond after a big emotional victory. It may even more difficult when a 1-5 team is next up on the schedule. Selma (1-5, 0-3) is currently on a five-game losing streak. The Mustangs cannot afford to overlook Selma this week, according to Bradford. He said the Saints can be good enough to win if Stanhope does See MUSTANGS • Page B4

The annual Jesse Owens Classic brought thousands of high school runners from across the southeast to Oakville on Saturday in the Alabama’s biggest cross country event of the year. Wetumpka’s Cory Anthony added another strong race to his resume this season, finishing 24th out of 256 runners in the Boys Gold division. His time of 16:30.53 was less than a minute off from the winner. Brennan Worrell finished 144th overall, running the 5k race in 18:00.60. Wetumpka finished 30th of 35 teams in the Gold division. It also had teams in the Boys Silver and Boys Red divisions but neither team could top the finish of the gold team. Wetumpka’s girls team finished 31st in the team standings with an average run time of 25:10. Sophia Rawls led the way, finishing 180th overall and running the race in 24:17.96.

Bulldogs seek road region win at Leeds By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Holtville has put away many of the bad streaks haunting its football program this season. The Bulldogs will hope that continues this week when they travel to Leeds to face a team who has beaten them in four consecutive seasons. Holtville (4-2, 2-2 Class 4A Region 4) has not won a region game on the road since 2013. Leeds currently sits at 1-5 and has lost four consecutive games for the first time since 2003. Holtville coach Jason Franklin said the Greenwave are still a threat despite their record. “They’re averaging 300 yards rushing and they’re running back is good,” Franklin said. “I can’t figure out how they’re 1-5 right now. They’re a quality football team. They don’t do anything to hurt themselves and they do a lot of good things on offense.” Leeds has averaged 24.2 points per game this season but scored a season-low last week in its 50-7 loss at Talladega. The Greenwave was held to 209 yards of total offense and turned the ball over four

times in the loss. Their only touchdown came late in the fourth quarter with the team’s second unit in the game. In the team’s lone win of the season, Jakobi Hunter rushed for 240 yards and two touchdowns. He reached 191 yards in a loss to Lincoln and 138 yards in a loss to Ohatchee. Hunter has been the key to the Leeds offense this season.

Defensively, the Greenwave have allowed 40.3 ppg this season. In last week’s loss to Talladega, Leeds allowed only 220 yards of offense. Franklin said Leeds has used several different looks on defense this season which may actually be an advantage for the Greenwave. “They’ve been in numerous different defenses and that’s harder to game plan for as
an offense,” Franklin said. “At some point we have to determine what we’re going to work on.” Franklin said the coaching staff will be looking more closely at the games when Leeds played against an offensive style similar to Holtville. The Bulldogs like to air it out more than other teams so Franklin has to get creative while scouting opposing
defenses. “I look at a lot of third down defense to see what they might do against us,” Franklin said. “We’re going to throw it more than most teams in our region so I have to look at that to see what they might do on first down against us.” With two games remaining in region play for Holtville, Friday’s meeting with Leeds will be crucial in determining the team’s final standing in the region. The Bulldogs are one of five teams in the region with at least two wins and a third victory would put them right on the verge of the postseason. However, Franklin said there is too much on the field to focus on and the team is not worried about all the different region scenarios. “We have put ourselves in position to win and it won’t matter,” Franklin said. “Take care of business against Leeds this week and figure out how to slow down Talladega and we’ll be in good position. If we slip up this week though, your back is against the wall and then we have to worry about what ifs and every other scenario. We have to stay focused on one week at a time.”

season. “It’s a blessing to represent the state of Alabama,” Lucas said. “I’ve upped my game. I want to see progress every year and this shows it. I’ve always wanted to play in this game.” Lucas has found himself on the
opposite side of the football this season as well. Wetumpka uses a heavy package which brings Lucas to the backfield as a lead blocker. Jones often takes a direct snap and runs right behind his teammate. The two may not get a chance to be on the field at the same time in
Montgomery in December but both players said they will be playing in the game. Alabama holds a 22-9 edge in the series with Mississippi but lost last year’s contest 42-7. The All-Star Classic is set to be played just 10 days after the Class 6A state championship game.
Indians 93 yards on just three kick returns. “They’ve improved every week,” Perry said. “They can be explosive on offense and experience is a big key for them.” Defensively, the Wildcats have allowed 22 points per game. They have not allowed more than 30 points in a game this season. Perry said Benjamin Russell plays aggressive on defense and will look to bring a lot of pressure on Wetumpka quarterback Tyquan Rawls. Wetumpka’s offense had another strong performance last week but turnovers were the team’s downfall in the loss to Stanhope. The Indians fumbled the ball three times in the defeat. “We made mistakes that were uncharacteristic

Wildcats look for next step after clinching playoff spot
In The Trenches
By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
After securing a place in the postseason, Edgewood is moving on to its next goal of the season, which is to clinch a home playoff game. The Wildcats can make that happen with a win at Lakeside this Friday night. This will be the first of three consecutive weeks spent on the road but Edgewood coach Darryl Free said he believes his team is prepared for the challenge. “I think the experience is tremendous in value,” Free said. “To go on the road at the end of the season could not be at a better time because they’re battle tested now. We would hope going on the road wouldn’t have as much of an effect now as it did at the beginning of the year.” Lakeside is 4-2 this season but is coming off a 48-7 loss to top-ranked Autauga Academy. The Chiefs were ranked as high as seventh in the Alabama Sports Writers Association poll this season but they have not won a game since Sept. 21. Prior to the loss to Autauga, Lakeside was in a bye week. Free said the off week will end up being more beneficial for the Chiefs this week. “We’ll try to see what they added during the bye week and see how their identity changed,” Free said. “If they’re trying to do anything different, we have to make a few adjustments to that.” Lakeside’s offense has averaged 30 points per game but is 0-2 this season when the offense is held below its average. The Chiefs had four different players score in its victory over Abbeville three weeks ago. Quarterback Taylor Gover had a 60-yard touchdown run in the

victory to add to the two touchdowns by running back Auston Welsh. “They’re skill positions will present a good challenge for us,” Free said. “They’re not like anyone we’ve played yet because they’ll go from wing-T to spread to I-form. They’re multiple in what they do so it’s going to be a challenging week defensively to get ready for them.” The two teams share six common opponents on the regular season schedule. Both teams have wins over Northside Methodist, Evangel Christian and Coosa Valley. The Wildcats outscored those three teams by 28 points more than Lakeside did. Free said there are some things you can take from those common games but you have to be careful about
Turrentine “Urban Meyer losing to a team he shouldn’t” game, the Buckeyes will be back in the playoff. Notre Dame has breezed through its toughest part of the schedule already and is 6-0 after wins over Michigan, Stanford and Virginia Tech. An undefeated Irish team is unlikely to be left out of the final four so this team has to be looked at as a true contender right now. This is when it gets tricky. The other remaining undefeated teams, even West Virginia and UCF, either have tougher games remaining on their schedules or cannot compete on the level of teams listed above. Next, you have to sift through the one-loss teams and figure out who has the favorable schedule and who is good enough to compete in the playoff. The first two teams most people think about are Oklahoma and Texas. Both teams are probably the best bets out of the Big 12 but the inconsistencies from each of them would be exposed against other elite teams. For me, the first team off that list is Washington. I am still unsure how the Huskies lost the opener to Auburn but it happened and they have to move on. And they have. Washington’s schedule is not one that gets easier but it does give opportunities for the Huskies to make an impression on the playoff committee and put them ahead of other one-loss
pulling too much. “We will take some but as the season evolves, the team evolves,” Free said. “It depends on when they played them in their schedule. Sometimes if they play early in the schedule, they won’t be running the same stuff schematically that they were doing last week. So, we’ll take some and see their tendencies and make a game plan off that.” Despite Lakeside struggling last week against Autauga, Free said it can be tough to pull from the film of that game. However, it was by far Lakeside’s lowest scoring outing of the season and Free said there may be some things the coaching staff can find that gave the Chiefs so much trouble. “You can pick a few things here and there that gave Lakeside
trouble that might fit your scheme,” Free said. “For the most part though, we’re going to be who we are. That’s how we’ve had success so we’re going to play Edgewood football.” A win for the Wildcats would set up a winner-take-all game next week at Autauga for the region championship. Lakeside and Edgewood have not played since 2015 but the Wildcats lead the all-time series 8-2. These are two new teams though and they will likely be battling for the number two spot in the region. “We’re two different style teams,” Free said. “I could see the defense taking over the game and I could see the offenses taking over the game. However it plays out, I expect it to be a close game and it to come down to the end.”
Edgewood celebrated this year’s homecoming by clinching a playoff spot with a win over Coosa Valley on Friday night. Junior Cade Bazzell made his first start of the season at center and helped push the Wildcat rushing attack to three touchdowns and 7.5 yards per carry on the night. “Cade is our unsung leader,” Edgewood coach Darryl Free said. “He doesn’t ask for much credit, he just goes out there and gets the job done. And he does it at a very high level.” During the shutout, Bazzell played a big role on the defensive side of the ball as well. He finished with four total tackles and 2.5 tackles for a loss. Bazzell credited the coaching staff and the conditioning drills on his stamina allowing him to be on the field for a majority of the game’s snaps. “He’s an integral part of what we do offensively and defensively,” Free said. For most of this season, Bazzell has started at left tackle for the Wildcats before filling in at center due to an injury. He had been often used as one the lead blockers in the team’s rushing attack which is averaging 168.6 yards per game this season. “Coaches tell us all the time how important it is,” Bazzell said. “It is where all the battling goes down. Quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers can’t make plays without us blocking so it’s the best place to be.”
Bazzell has been starting since he came to Edgewood as a freshman. After going winless in his first two seasons with the team, the Wildcats have started 5-2 and have a chance to host a playoff game this season. “A lot of hard work goes into trying to get every rep right so we can be successful in games,” Bazzell said. “It started by not winning a game to knowing we have a good team and a chance to win some playoff games.” On the defensive side of the ball, Bazzell plays at defensive end and has been a force for the Wildcat defense. In the team’s five wins, Bazzell has recorded 15.5 tackles and 8.5 for a loss. He said he is just as good on both sides of the ball but he enjoys playing defense more. “I like being able to lay the hit instead of having to absorb it,” Bazzell said. With only two seniors on the team, Bazzell has stepped into a leadership role for the Wildcats this season. He said he knows younger players are looking to him so he has to try to lead by example. Free said Bazzell and senior Hunter Bowdoin are the leaders up front for the offense and defense of the Wildcats. Free has been impressed with the strides Bazzell has made since last season to become a leader on the team. “I can’t say enough about Cade Bazzell; he’s just a beast,” Free said. “He’s a quiet kid but when he speaks, everybody listens so he possesses that leadership quality. He’s that heartbeat of that offensive and defensive line.”

teams at the end of the season. This team is still very good and a 12-1 season should return it to the playoffs. Michigan’s one-possession loss to Notre Dame on the opening weekend of the season showed it is capable of competing at a high level. The Wolverines have continued to improve and still control their own destiny. Home meetings with Wisconsin and Penn State could lead Michigan back to the top 10. Then, that trip to Columbus to finish the year will likely decide the Big Ten. The last team on my list, and this is a surprise even to me, is the Florida Gators. Dan Mullen’s team went from losing to Kentucky to being a national contender in four weeks. The Gators have an unbelievable defense and are easily the best bet to beat Georgia in the SEC East. As much as I want to put Kentucky ahead of them, I’m not prepared to buy into the Wildcats that much. Florida is showing a tremendous amount of improvement each week and an 11-1 regular season is not that far-fetched right now. Those are my eight teams which could still win the national championship. There are several others that could make a surprise run and make the playoff but I do not see any others finishing the season off champions. Caleb Turrentine is a sports writer for The Herald.

Stanhope Elmore will look to extend its winning streak against Selma to 10 games on Friday night.
Mustangs not prepare the way it should. Bradford raved about Selma’s athleticism and its ability to find explosive plays on the offensive side of the ball. “Our goal is to not give up anything big down field,” Bradford said. “We want to make the other team drive the field. That’s difficult to do multiple times in one game, especially with our defense playing well.” Stanhope did a good job of limiting Wetumpka’s explosive plays last week. Wetumpka had thrived all season on momentum and the Mustangs would not allow their opponents to break the big plays in crucial moments. Selma’s offense may have

the ability to break big plays but the Saints have also seen their share of struggles on the offensive side of the ball. Since its 60-point outburst in the season opener against Southside Selma, the Saints have averaged just 12.8 points in five games. In that season opening win, Selma was led by running backs Amarian Molette and Nicholas Parnell. The two players combined for 148 rushing yards and four total touchdowns. Quarterback Tyreshon Freeman accounted for five total touchdowns in the win. Stanhope’s defense still allowed more than 400 yards and 28 points to Wetumpka’s
offense. However, the biggest plays of the night came on turnovers. The Mustangs are finding ways to have their own explosive plays and it starts on the defensive side of the ball. “We are just making the right plays at the right time,” Bradford said. “We’ve been getting turnovers but now we’re making them into scoring opportunities.” After having just two road trips in the first seven weeks of the season, the Mustangs will now be away from home for their final three regular season games. Stanhope is 1-1 on the road this season. A win Friday night would give the Mustangs four region wins for the first time since 2014.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Others have an odd way of expressing how much they value you. Your unanticipated responses often shock people. A friend or loved one might be stunned by your behavior. Embrace your fun-loving side. Tonight: Allow someone else to make the Ă„rst move. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your smile greets others and helps make a diɉcult situation a lot easier. A partner or dear friend could be withdrawn, but will make an attempt to warm up the atmosphere between you. Do more listening than speaking, and the results will be better. Tonight: Be mischievous. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your mischievous nature emerges, allowing others to loosen up. You lighten the moment and others’ moods just by being you. Your gentle eɈorts put a smile on a loved one’s face. This person appreciates your eɈorts more than you are aware. Tonight: Add spice to your life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Fortunately, you deal well with performance anxiety and pressure. You assume the lead, whereas others cannot. Your personality encourages you not to feel challenged. Do not make assumptions; instead, assess what is fact and what is Ă„ction. Tonight: Head home early. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You tend to say exactly what is on your mind. You could shock an older person or someone you care about. You can be sure that there is a veil of confusion around you and a key person in your life. Take a step back for now, and make no judgments. Tonight: Out and about.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to pat yourself on the back, as you seem to be able to rein in your spending. It might be happening slower than you want, but you are getting there. A friend demands to have his or her way. Feel free to say “noâ€? and walk away. Tonight: OɈ to a fun happening. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You experience a surge of energy, but choose to say little about what you are thinking. You could change your mind in the next day or so. You gain more information, and through observation will see the situation diɈerently. Tonight: Paint the town red with friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) If you choose to lie low, others will understand. You might need some private time to reĂ…ect on a recent development. You do not need to share everything with everyone. Do absolutely what you desire, but don’t feel as if you must share what you are up to. Tonight: Do your thing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Zero in on your objectives, knowing full well that you might want to wait until a meeting to start fulĂ„lling them. A discussion with friends presents a much diɈerent perspective. Let others know where you are coming from. Tonight: At a favorite place with favorite people. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could cause a problem when dealing with a boss or higher-up. You need to reach out to someone who could aɈect your life. This person has clout. You will note that passions run high at the present moment. Try to avoid an argument at all costs. Tonight: Take the lead for now. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Be willing to detach. Walk in someone else’s shoes in order to understand him or her better. Once you are enlightened, you will be more compassionate. You will be able to interact with others in a more eɉcient way. Tonight: Listen to a suggestion, and you’ll have a better time.

COLORING THE TOWN PINK
Wetumpka raises awareness with annual walk, balloon release By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
Dozens of people joined the city of Wetumpka in raising awareness of breast cancer and honoring its survivors during the city’s annual Color the Town Pink walk and balloon release on Friday. “The Pink Walk is to bring awareness, to get everybody together for a good cause and to encourage everybody to get early detections and go to the doctor,” city event coordinator Valencia Smith said. Color the Town Pink started at the Wetumpka Civic Center, where Jackie Butler of Joy to Life and Natacha Graham of Breast and Body Health, Inc. spoke about the importance of providing support
to breast cancer patients and survivors. WVAS-FM announcer Angier Johnson also gave her testimony as a breast cancer survivor. During the event, up to 80 people carried pink balloons along the Riverwalk to the boat landing at Gold Star Park, where they were released. “I thank the citizens of Wetumpka for coming out and showing their support,” Smith said. Johnson described Color the Town Pink as “wonderful,” and said there need to be more events like it. To see so many survivors and supporters together, Johnson said, likely provided hope to those who are currently struggling with breast cancer. “There are so many survivors, but then you have so many women that are still in the battle. Survivors can be encouragement for other women, to let them know that this is something that can be fought and can be beaten,” Johnson said. Johnson said the event also sent the See WALK • Page 3

Area volleyball teams use pink matches to raise awareness By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
October is internationally known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month and local high school volleyball teams have gotten involved to help raise awareness and funds to fight the disease. Stanhope Elmore, Tallassee, Edgewood and Wetumpka all found their own ways to do what they can to help the cause. Some teams got a jump start when Stanhope Elmore hosted Tallassee for a pink match on Sept. 17. Before the varsity game began, SEHS coach Virginia Barber and the players held a moment to honor three women who are currently battling cancer. “We’ve been talking all year about how this game was just a little bit more than a volleyball game,” Barber said. “We told them to play for something different today, to play for somebody and they did. They

to lend her support. “I’m so glad that we could come out and do what little we can, even if it’s just sharing information and saying prayers for the people that are affected,” Waters said. “Sometimes, unless we shed light on something, then it’s in the dark. It’s a simple statement, but it’s the truth.”

Donations were accepted at a table at the front of the gym. According to Barber, the game raised $337, which would be split between the three families. “We do a pink out game with Tallassee in October,” Barber said. “So, when we found out we had all of this going on, we asked if they would help us out this year on our end.” The Mustangs make the return trip on Oct. 15.

Before the match began, each player announced a person or group of people struggling with cancer who she was playing for that day. Wetumpka got in on the action after the calendar turned to October.

Community Hospital to hold Mammo Party By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
During October, many women are thinking about preventive services. In an effort to raise local awareness, Tallassee’s Community Hospital will host the fifth annual Mammo Party. The event is slated for Wednesday, Oct. 10 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. To keep with the party theme, refreshments will be provided. According to coordinators, last year’s mammogram party drew large numbers and was very successful. The facility’s chief mammography technologist, Shannon Ward, reported about 30 patients participated in last year’s event. However, this year’s participants should reserve a place at the party early because only 15 appointments remain open for the event. According to Ward, more women schedule breast
exams during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. “In general, our exams increase during the month of October due to the breast cancer awareness promotional activities that women see and hear which reminds them to have a mammogram done,” Ward said. “We offer the Mammo Party as an incentive.” While there is no sure way to prevent breast cancer, preventive services and routine exams are the best way to combat the disease. According to hospital director of radiology Allison Stewart, the overwhelming majority of the mammograms done at Community Hospital are for routine preventative screening. A screening mammogram is able to detect breast cancer as much as two years before a tumor or a mass can be detected by touch. “The annual Mammo Party See MAMMO • Page 8

Local boutique and nonprofit aim to combat breast cancer By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
Breast cancer awareness and research are hot topics during the month of October, but for one Wetumpka resident and business owner, they’re the focus of her everyday life. While Natacha Graham has never been diagnosed with breast cancer, she said her dedication to ending it was inspired by her mother, a four-time survivor. “She had breast cancer twice, and whenever is metastasizes, it goes up. It’s still considered breast cancer, even though the other two times were considered thyroid. It started with her,” Graham said. “She was about 28 or 29 when she first found out that she had cancer, so we were pretty young.” Graham’s mother, Bonnie Bell, initially started the B and B’s Health Boutique about a decade ago in West Virginia. It later relocated to Virginia and expanded to the downtown area of Wetumpka. As Bell was going through breast cancer, she connected with other women who shared the same struggle, but were not fortunate enough to have the kind of

insurance she had. “When she was going through, she met so many women that she wanted to help,” Graham said. “And when she felt inadequate herself, she figured that there weren’t many options out there for her, so she wanted to do it herself.” At the boutique, Graham said they serve all women, from those who have never had cancer, to cancer patients, to survivors.
“We fit women for bras, and we make sure that they’re in the correct size,” Graham said. “We also work with cancer patients. If they’re lost their breast, we fit them for their prosthesis, and we size them for their pocket bras, which hold the prosthesis. It kind of measures up to where they don’t look like they’re missing a breast.” Graham opened the boutique in Wetumpka about two years ago, but said
she had felt called to start it for years beforehand. “I knew six years ago that I was supposed to start it, but I didn’t. I actually ran. You know, God has a way of dealing with us when he tells you to do something and you don’t do it,” Graham said. Since then, Graham said it has served as the primary resource for women See BOUTIQUE • Page 7

Millbrook business owner encourages early detection By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
O
ctober marks the 15th anniversary of an event that changed a local business owner’s life. Chris Beazley, who owns the Kudzu and Cotton Boutique in Millbrook, was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2002, had a lumpectomy and went through seven weeks of radiation treatment. Once she went into remission, Beazley said she was prescribed Tamoxifen and Arimidex for several years afterward. “There are always side effects with any cancer drugs that you have,” Beazley said. “With the Tamoxifen and the Arimidex, there are chances of losing bone density. I’ve been lucky through all of it. I’m probably one of the more fortunate ones with not having a lot of side effects.” Beazley’s mother also had breast cancer, which raised concerns if it will one day affect her daughter and granddaughter. “It was a hard time to go through, because you always worry about it coming back. I worry about my daughter and granddaughter, and if this is something that runs in the family or something that is passed down through genetics,” Beazley said. “It always makes you wonder whether they will also have the same problem.” While her remission has gone uninterrupted for more than a decade, Beazley said she also has lingering anxieties about the cancer’s return. “It’s always scary every time you go to have a mammogram or go to the oncologist, because you wonder if it’s going to come back or is it going to be on the other side. I did have a scare at one point, about a year after my surgery, because they thought they saw something on the right side,” Beazley said. “Fortunately, they did a biopsy and it turned out to be okay. You think about it every year when you get a mammogram that something might show up.” Many breast cancer survivors undergo chemotherapy treatments and mastectomies, face financial hardships and deal with severe side effects after treatments end. While she is unsure exactly when the cancer developed, Beazley believes she was spared from that fate because it was discovered early. “It was with the mammogram that it showed up. I never felt any lump,” Beazley said. “I think it’s important that women get mammograms, and that they examine themselves so that something can be caught

She now uses her story to raise awareness and highlight the importance of regular checkups and early detection.

early. It’s a lot worse when it progresses to the next stage, so early detection is very important.” Through Kudzu and Cotton, which has been open for about a year, Beazley said breast cancer awareness products are always in stock. Many of those products are homemade, and some of the proceeds from them have been donated to breast cancer research. “We try to look for those products, especially around this time of year, when there’s so much awareness of breast cancer,” Beazley said. “Especially if the company donates money towards breast cancer research.” While battling breast cancer, Beazley said she was inspired by her father to stay strong.
“I come from tough Yankee stock,” Beazley said. “My dad was a fighter. He was tough. He became partially paralyzed at an early age in his life, and he just trucked on through and did things that people never thought he’d be able to do. I guess I got a lot of my toughness and strength from him and pushed on through it.” Beazley also said the diagnosis served as a wake-up call for her to invest in her own health. Beazley said she uses her story to raise awareness and encourage other women to make their health a priority as well. “You realize that things like that can happen,” Beazley said. “It’s a wake-up call to take care of yourself and make sure that your health is taken care of.”

throughout central Alabama. “Women who are coming in here are actually stuffing their bras, because they don’t have anything else to go by,” Graham said. “There is a place in Montgomery. I believe it’s a great place, but they have everything. When a woman goes in there for a breast, she doesn’t really want to be looked at the same way as a male who is going in for a hand or an arm. A breast is an intimate part of the body.” Breast and Body Health, Inc., which operates out of the boutique, seeks to provide cancer patients and survivors with the necessary resources if they can’t afford them. While they focus on breast cancer patients, Graham said all cancer patients are eligible for services. “If a woman comes in, and she doesn’t have insurance or has inadequate insurance, and she can’t afford the products once she’s had surgery, we provide those products through the nonprofit,” Graham said. Because battling breast cancer can come with so many financial hardships, Graham said the nonprofit will go as far as to help those in need with medical expenses, utility bills, rent and other necessities.
For many patients and survivors, losing their hair through chemotherapy can cause a loss of self-esteem. Because wigs can be so costly, Graham said providing them is a big priority for the boutique and the nonprofit. “It’s actually called chemotherapy-induced alopecia, which means that the treatments will cause their hair to fall out. (Sometimes) insurance won’t pay for them to get a wig. Wigs are not cheap. They have some that are $30 to $40, but they’re synthetic. They look like the corn silk doll baby’s hair,” Graham said. “You’re already struggling enough when you lose a breast. We try to make sure their hair looks natural. Half the time, you can’t even tell they’re wearing a wig once they leave here.” While the boutique and nonprofit can’t solve all of the problems associated with breast cancer, Graham said her goal is to alleviate them for one woman at a time. “We’re just here to help. I’m not here to pat myself on the back,” Graham said. “All I know is that, when a woman comes in here and she’s in need, when she leaves here and she’s happy, then I’m happy.”

The gala will serve as the yearly fundraiser for Breast and Body Health, Inc. “It’s to raise funds and awareness: funds for those women that need it and awareness for those who don’t know that we’re here,” Breast and Body Health, Inc. program director Natacha Graham said. Sheyann Webb-Christburg, who is known as Martin Luther King Jr.’s “smallest freedom fighter,” will serve as the gala’s keynote speaker. WSFA’s Tonya Terry will serve as the master of ceremonies. Graham said the gala will be catered, and feature a silent auction and a variety of live entertainment. “We do have a lady who was affected by breast cancer, and she’s going to perform twice that night. She’s got a comedy skit and she sings,” Graham said. Graham said proceeds from the event

will help Breast and Body Health, Inc. provide financial assistance to patients of breast cancer and other forms of cancer who are struggling to afford basic life expenses while also paying for medical expenses. “We’re not miracle workers. We can’t just run out there and pay somebody’s house off,” Graham said. “But we can do what we can do to try and ease that burden.” In addition to raising money, Graham said the event will honor breast cancer survivors, as well as those who did not make it. Several breast cancer survivors were selected to receive makeovers before the event. “We wanted to dress our survivors up and make them feel good and let them know that, yes, you still have it going on,” Graham said. “We want them to feel special and important.” Graham said she is hoping to see about 250 people attend. However, Graham said about 500 people have already reached out to her to express interest in the event. Tickets can be purchased at B and B’s Health Boutique at 102 Court Street in Wetumpka or online at Eventbrite.

Save the Tatas raises more than $50K for Joy to Life Foundation
continued from page 3
By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
Bringing awareness to breast cancer is an important task and each year the women and men who participate in the annual Save the Tatas benefit motorcycle ride do a great job of that. “We raised $9,206 this year and $51,000 over eight years,” Save the Tatas founder Helen Phillips said. The poker run-style benefit takes riders on a 125-mile course that begins in Wetumpka at Quail Walk Country Club and ends at the VFW in Tallassee. Phillips began the benefit ride in 2010 after losing someone she loved very much who was diagnosed with the disease. “I started this ride because of my mama,” she said. “It continues to grow because of so many of you that believe in the cause.” All proceeds from this benefit ride go directly to The Joy to Life Foundation. “The Joy to Life foundation does a lot for men and women throughout the state,” Phillips said. The organization’s mission is to provide free mammograms and other breast cancer screenings when necessary to medically

is held for that very reason — to encourage even more women to have routine preventative mammogram screening,” Stewart said. For some women, having a mammogram can be uncomfortable, but it takes only a few moments and the discomfort is over soon. What a patient feels depends on the size of the breasts and how much they need to be pressed. A woman’s breasts may be more sensitive if she is about to have her monthly menstrual cycle. Most mammogram results are normal, however women should continue to get mammograms according to recommended time intervals. Mammograms work best when they can be compared with previous ones. This allows the radiologist to compare them to look for changes in breasts. Additionally, an abnormal mammogram does not always mean there is cancer. However, additional mammograms, tests or exams may be needed. To schedule an appointment for the Mammo Party, call 334283-3772. The radiologist will stay during the Mammo Party so people can receive the results before leaving.
